 of it in principle" because on the one hand the proposal had to avoid the ap-

MORE TESTIMONY AGAINST
BOOZE

Detroit, the biggest "dry" city in
the United States, is more prosperous
than ever before, after two months of
prohibition rule. This is the con-
sensus of authoritative opinion, de-
duced from an analysis of general con-
ditions existing at the present time
as compared to the "pre-dry" period.
From all outward appearances cas-
ual observer would never suspect that
the "Motor City" had once been one of
the most flourishing fhangouts of old
demon Booze" Briefly, the present
situation is as follows: Seldom does
one hear a conversation in which the
absence of liquor is lamented. Per-
haps this is due somewhat to the fact
that Detroit and Detroiters are too
busy helping to win the war. Many
of the former saloons have been trans
formed into soft drink emporiums
and restaurants. Most of the vacan-
cies created by suspension of the IL
quor business have been re-occupied
and realtors, almost without exception
state that the real estate situation has
not been impaired. To the contrary,
in many instances, property values
have been strengthened through the
exit of illegitimate and the entrance
of legitimate business in some sections
of the city. The old rule of fear, that
the elimination of a saloon in a bus
mess block would mean loss of bust
ness on both sides, has been dissipat-
ed. Theories have been supplanted
by facts and it is found that a condi-
ton brought about by expression of
the wishes of the people does not, at
least in this instance, result detrimen-
tally to the interests of the same peo-
pie. Some labor left the city for other
booze parts, but employers are as one
in the belief that the situation is bene-
fitted by the absence of such class
of people. Better and more reliable
workers, and better citizens have filled
the jobs thus vacated. 1t is a singu-
lar and notable fact that although
"dry," Detroit has in recent months
over-subscribed Liberty loan, given
$10,000,000 to war and civic charities
and purchased literally of war saw
ings stamps, maintained an active
state of general business and increas-
ed it's bank savings appreciably.-The
Detroit Review.

THE COUNTRY NEEDS
JOE FORDNEY

Rep. Fordney is the central figure
in the Michigan delegation. AS SEN
ior Republican member of the Ways
and Means committee, he is giving to
the complicated subject of revenue, a
mind matured by years of experience
as business man and legislator, a
judgment developed by the successful
solution of vast range of difficult
problems, and a singleness of purpose
and loyalty of action so answering,
that even his political enemies are
ready to support him for the nations
good.
The declaration of the eighth dis
trict Democratic committee that Mr..
Fordney has been so loyal in his
support of the war that they recon-
mend his reelection, coming as this
declaration does from his political op-
ponents who, in this time of stress,
when the best men are needed, are
thinking only of little cheap glory
for themselves.
What could any man without exper-
fence in legislation or acquaintance
in Congress do in this hour? He would
be but cipher. Fordney is recognized
as power, man, than whom no
other in tee state is more needed
than he.
The Republicans of Gratiot County
are loyal. They will not be misled by
cheap buncomb of being a farmer
(for votes only nor will they forget
that our Joe is down at Washington,
devoting every hour to the great world
problem of revenue. There he must
stay until the primary is sover. We
owe him the same loyal SUPPORT Aug
ust 27, that he is giving the Nation,
and you bet We will give it to him, too.
The country needs him and it is 60
ing to have him.-Gratiot County

THE MICHIGAN SENATORSHIP

Hon. William Alden Smith has de-
finitely announced that he will not be
a candidate for reelection as United
States Senator from Michigan on the
primary ballot August 27. Senator
Smith expresses the hope that he will
be succeeded by patriot and Repub-
lican. If such is to be the outcome
of the primaries, Henry Ford will not
be the Republican nominee. He does
not measure up to the qualifications
named by Senator Smith. He is Meth
Ell Republican nor a Protectionist.
His name ought not to be on Repub-
lican primary ballot, but, since it is to
be there, the American Economist
earnestly hopes that his vote will be
the smallest one. Michigan, we be-
lieve, will not choose to be represented
in the Senate by non-Republican and
a Free Traders-Americans Economist.

LOOKING AHEAD TO
THANKSGIVING

In the effort to stop the wasteful
practice of slaughtering brioler tur-
keys-those weighing from two to
four pounds-the Food Administra-
ton is approaching the problem
through three different channels.
Farmers are requested to raise
turkeys to maturity, thereby adding to
the nations meat supply; dealers have
been notified of the Food Administra-
TONS desire that they refrain from
purchasing the immature birds; hotels,
clubs and restaurants where most of
the broiler turkeys are consumed have
been asked to discontinue serving
them.
1t is pointed out that turkeys, unlike
chickens, do not become plumb and
well-meated until nearly full grown.
