NOW FOR THE BEST MEN.

The people OF Crystal Falls decided
at the polls last Monday to apply the
manager form OF commission govern
ment TO Crystal Falls. The manager
is chosen by the commissioners who
will be chosen the second Wednesday
OF April.
The success or failure of this new
form OF government will depend upon
the character OF the men whom the
people choose to administer the city
under the new form. Therefore. IL
necessitates our selection OF the very
best material that we can possibly
get. Those who have been active in
getting the commission form adopted
for this city have been racking their
brains trying to dig up the very best
material possible. 1t isn't a question
Of getting an Office for somebody; it's
question OF getting somebody for
the Office Some of the very best
timber has refused TO take Office and
in that there Is considerable disap-
pointment.
However, let's keep in mind only
the best is good enough" and do our
bit TO make Crystal Falls better

WAR ACTIVITIES,

An important meeting OF the busi-
ness men, professional men and 9TH
ers interested in war activities in the
west end OF the county, was held in
the directors room in the First Ma
tional bank. Thursday afternoon, for
the purpose OF talking over the prac-
ticability OF organizing the various
war committees into one organization,
with the object in view OF doing more
efficient work along patriotic lines
About thirty men were present and
took part in the proceedings
Ellsworth S. Coe was elected tenn
porary chairman and John McHale
temporary secretary. Mr.. Coe stated
the object OF the meeting and called
on Attorney George Power for his
opinion. Mr.. Power stated that he be
lieved in the interest OF efficiency that
the various committees and associa-
tions ought to be co-ordinated into
one central organization with some
central point in which they might
meet and talk over the work to be
done. This was the sentiment OF
practically everyone present, which
finally resulted in the appointment OF
the following executive committee to
arrange for the organization and
place of meeting: Messrs. f.. S. Coe,
George Power, +. A. Morrison, w. r.
Meyers, and James $. Wall.
The Union club has very kindly Of
fered the use OF its club rooms, and II
was the general opinion that no bet
ter place could be secured
Ii was also the unanimous opinion
that an organization should be effect
ed along the lines OF the so-called
Kenosha plan, which Is being worked
out very satisfactorily in several OF
the upper peninsula counties. which
would take care Of all the drives We
are liable TO have during the year, IN
one big monster drive TO secure pledg-
es from every person in the west side
Of tile county to be paid monthly,
which would cover Y NJ, G. A.. Red
Cross, X. OF c. and any other drive
that might come up, except the Liber-
~ Bond drive.
A general meeting will be held IN
the Union club rooms on Monday even
ing. for the purpose OF listening ID
the committee and to perfect an or
ganization. Every person interested
in war activities is cordially invited
TO be present at eight o'clock prompt
ly.

We note that many upper peninsula
towns are speculating on what will
happen when the saloons go out; how
the last night under the wet regime
will pass, etc. Crystal Falls passed
through that experience once and can
say to its sister towns that things
will merge into one another so
smoothly that one will hardly note
the passing. Other places OF amuse-
ment will come as proprietors find
they can make money out OF them
Don't worry about place TO take
the place of the saloon" IL will com :.
The opportunity TO make money will
develope t. This talk OF providing
places at public expense a waste OF
time. You can't make men frequent
this or that place OF amusement any
moro than you can make horse
drink. Men like TO elect their own
forms OF amusement and the fact OF
a place having been provided accord
Ing TO some other persons ideas OF
what mans pleasures ought to be will
mitigate against its success. Men
will spend their money Just the same
whether II is wet or dry. 1t will
take some time for communities TO
adjust themselves, but they will so al
Just and do II without any designing
hand.

SOMEWHAT Personal.

SOMEWHAT PEhSONAL.
We have heard suggested by some
whose interest in the recent charter
election was more personal than pub
lie spirited, that this fight be contin-
ed; that an effort be made to clean
up" Captain Richards in Crystal Falls
township, etc, etc.
Right off the reel we want TO have
il distinctly understood that The Dia-
mond Drill isn't in that line OF busi
ness. We opposed the position taken
by Mr.. Richards In this charter elec
tion not from any personal reason,
but from the fact that we thought Mr..
Richards used his power unwarrant-
edly. He, undoubtedly, thought he
was right We thought we were right
and we left the decision to the vot-
ers. They decided in our favor and
so far as we are concerned the dis
pute ends there.
Mr.. Richards and the Mckinney
Steel company are very important
factors in this community. They
should have their share in the affairs
relative to carrying on the business o.
the community. We shall be just as
insistent that they get square deal
at the hands of the people as we
were that the people should get a
| square deal from them. We may diff
| fer as 10 figures, but in principle
there should be no divergence OF opin-
ion.
II was a very ill-advised position
that they took. They should have
Joined In with those who wanted bet
ter government for this city and used
their great influence and power to see
that better government was obtain
ed; they will make a mistake
now II they do not JOIN in AMI
help push the cart along; we be-
lieve they will do so and will take the
position that they want to do so hou
estly and dIsinterestedly until we are
shown to the contrary. A rebuff oc-
casionally is the best thing that can
happen any man; II sets him to talk
ing stock OF himself. We have had
plenty OF bumps" in our day, and
can truthfully say that we never got
one that didn't make us better in every
way.
SO. we say again, that The Diamond
Drill is not in favor OF continuing any
sore spots, or trying to deprive M.
Richards or the Mckinney Steel com
pany Of their rights; that we will alb
solutely refuse to be used TO pull any
ones chestnuts out OF the fire. We
never back down from fight when
we think we are right. III we happen
to disagree with those who opposed us
on this issue on any public measure
i'm the future we shall fight just AZ
hard as we did last week; we shall
this question IL we find them using
their victory 10 carry out any personal
grudges. We are asking no favors
from those we opposed; just expect
to be neighbors; to work with them
when we think that they are right. We
should consider IL misfortune 90
Crystal Falls should Captain Richards
be harried in personal way so long
as he works for the interests of all of
the people and we hope to see him
continue in the position he now oc-
cupies shall do what we can to con
tinue him there unless we can be
shown that his acts are not in harm
ony with what Is Just. We say, frank
ly that we don't expect to be shown
any such intention on his part, and
shall proceed upon that assumption
anyway

THE OLD woRN-DowN TRAIL.

There are still many people VINO
cannot get away from the old tran In
which the ruts were long ago worn
down 10 the hubs and where the pull
ing is mighty hard and tedious. Some
passengers still persist in taking this
route, which is their privilege II they
consider Il the safest road. But why
insist on that trial for others VINO
have one they think better. Why have
other people equipped with asbestos
clothing and gas masks for the souls
who do not believe there is need OF
these things? Some people preach
against playing cards and then play
them. Others pronounce against
dancing and then dance. Cards and
dancing, are to many, innocent amuse-
ments. To others they are particular
features gotten up by satan for the
increase OF his business. Some people
cry out against cards and encourage
pool, dominoes and checkers, claiming
cards are directly connected with
gambling and other vices. And all the
pool players know that this game Is
one on which much gambling is done.
The gambler bets on anything ann
everything He bets on how long
John Smith will keep the pledge. or
how long he will remain converted
He bets on how far frog will jump;
what the sex OF the next baby will be;
tho result OF the baseball game; the
winner in election. The Y. M. G. A.
bars cards but permits pool. billiards.
dominoes and checkers. IL claims TO
be for all humanity, but bars every
thing not based on the holy trinity. II
solicits aid from every religious de-
nomination but excludes all workers
not OF its particular faith. Ii pre-
tends To much that IL is not entitle /
TO. 1t ought TO make its platform bet
ter known and not masquerade under
false colors. Let II come out and de-
clare It's stand in big type so all may
read and understand.
We say. that II the ~" is working
for all humanity II ought to broaden
its platform, and we still insist that
IL could accomplish much more il II
would We are referring now partic-
ularly TO its camps in cantonments
where ninety-fye per cent OF the sold
iers are card players and dancers.
Refusal OF the "Y" management TO let
the boys play cards and dance isn't
going to convert them to their par
ticular views on these subjects, and
Is pretty apt to turn some OF the FIVE
per cent who do not play or dance
against them. And we are betting
odds that in the campaign 10 raise
tho more than thirty million Of dol
lars for the building and equipping OF
these y NJ. G, A. operations that there
was more than 95 per cent OF the mon
ey contributed by card players and
