IN MEMORY OF ERoN HrTE

Gone but not forgotten,
Sleep on, Eron, take thy rest.
God called thee home,
He thought it best.
A loved one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
u
Like flower she passed away,
Destroyed in all her bloom
She left the world and all her friends
To moulder in the tomb.
Again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled
And in heaven with JOY together
Where no farewell tears are shed.
The golden gates were opened
A gentle voice said come
And with farewell unspoken
She calmly entered home.
Written by a Friend.

DR.. William Brady in an article about
calomel in the Atlanta Constitution re-
Gently said:
"Calomel is a cathartic and very
crude and superhuous one. 1t pro-
duces no special effect upon the liver
or upon the secretion of bile. 1t has
no more influence over biliousness
than any. other active physic. 1t is
just the ancient standby, cheaper
than most other physics and retained
in use because old dogs seldom learn
new tricks"
AS a substitute for a poison like
calomel modern physicians prescribe
purely vegetable cathartics. Mar

while in others he is chosen by the
Commission. Sometimes he gets an
extra allowance as chairman OF the
Commission, but this rarely exceeds
$500, and is included in most OF the

While most cities employ assessors
to fix the valuation Of property for
the purpose of taxation, those Of some

to the county the amount required to
be raised for city purposes.

1000 AMERICANS
DIED IN BATTLE
LURE OF ADVENTURE SENT LADS
TO CANADA AND THEN TO
CATTLE VESSELS
RELEASE MADE EASY BY BRITISH
State Department at Washington Has
A Bureau for the Appeals
Of Parents.

Washington.-Lured by the spirit of
adventure, more than 1000 Americans
have died in battle, fighting in armies
of the British Empire.
Somewhere in the United States
thousands of anxious mothers and IA
theirs are awaiting the return of those
VINO will never return, and somewhere
in France there are Americans fight
ing in the khaki of Britain who will
never return to their native land.
So serious has become the problem
of American youths slipping away into
Canada to join overseas regiments
that the American State Department
has been forced recently to create a
new division to care Tor thu hundreds
of communications which pour in, ask
ing officials of this Government to
obtain the release of American youths
from foreign regiments.
In many cases these boys have
joined in Canada by the simple ex-
pedient of classifying their ages. Today.
these same boys can be found in the
trenches along the Somme, in the
training camps of England and aboard
British vessels patrolling the high
seas.
Because of the willingness OF the
British Government to release and
send home boys who joined by fraudu-
lent means, the State Department has
found little difficulty restoring "lost"
boys to their parents when the boy
himself can be located alive, but there
are many cases, department officials
say, where the names Of American
boys, sought by terrified parents in
America, have been found in the lists
of those killed in action. In many in
stances not even the body can be
recovered.
The figures Of the newly created d.
vision show that the cattle boat
traffic across the Atlantic from Ameri.
can ports to London, is a great recruit
ing source for the British army.
If an American boy has enlisted in
Canada and his parents believe he has
not left the Dominion, the State De-
partment forwards the request for a
discharge to United States Consul
General Foster at Ottawa. If the boy
is still there, he's sent to the Ameri-
can Consulate under guard and turned
over to Mr.. Foster.
If the Canadian contingent which
such lad has Joined has sailed for
England, the job becomes more diff.
cult. Robert p. Skinner, American
Consul General at London, then takes
up the case and appeals to the British
Foreign Office. This request must
pass through the proper official chan.
nels, and If the boy is alive, he will
be located eventually.
The thing that makes difficult the
task of locating these boys, however
Is the almost universal tendencies OF
the youngster to give fictitious names
and addresses.
The appeals received at the State
Department from parents seeking
their sons are pathetic in many cases
One mother wrote in saying her son
was "only IA and merely over-large
for his age" Other parents charge
that their sons were forced into the
service of Great Britain, through such
an idea is manifestly inaccurate, al
the Government OF Great Britain re.
leases boys who are under the proper
age limit

so many OF these boys came, an In
suit to every soldier who fought for
Abraham Lincoln, and an insult to
Judgment and justice, reason and
righteousness"
Republicans really ought not to be
sorry because Mr.. Doremus spoke a.
he did, and because other Democratic
campaigners are Grating in similar
vein; for the words of those men arc
complete proof of the correctness Of
Senator Townsend's assertion at
Grand Rapids, last week, that when
President Wilson announced that poll
tics was adjourned, he meant chat
everything except Democratic politics
was adjourned; or, put the other way
around, that only Republican politics
was adjourned.
Possibly Mr.. Wilson might with pro-
priety have undertaken to place a curb
on his own party, and after calling of
the Democrats he might even have
asked the Republicans to agree to Z
truce; but manifestly he had no right
to undertake to direct the course OF
a party of which he is not a member,
in order to give his own party IAN
edge"
We are not sure, however, that un-
der any circumstances an adjourn
ment Of politics would have been bene-
fetal. II might have choked construc-
tive criticism and all endeavor to
correct errors and remove insists In
office. Moreover, Senator Townsend
spoke good Americanism when in an,
nouncing his opposition to partisan
politics in connection with this war
which, parenthetically, is the sort of
partisan politics men like Mr.. Dore,
mus are undertaking to play, he point,
ed out the fact that while we are I'M
war, we also are In peace. Conse-
quently there are great. domestic and
economic problems that call for solu.
ton and demand attention on some
thing more than war emergency
basis. Here party politics is privi-
legged to function; here it is the duty
of party politics to function.
Unless it does, this country will
soon cease to be a free country and a
progressive and prosperous country.

DEMOCRATIC TACTICS
IN CAMPAIGN SCORED
BY HON. PAT" 0'BRIEN
UPPER PENINSULA EDITOR AND
LEGISLATION TELLS OF TWO
STATE CONVENTIONS.

pat" O'Brien, who edits the Iron
River-Stambaugh Reporter, and who
represents Iron county I'm the State
Legislature paid visit to the lower
peninsula recently to attend the Re-
publican state convention as an Iron
county delegate. For newspaper pur-
poses he came down a couple of days
early and took in the Democratic state
convention in Detroit before going to
Grand Rapids for the G. o. p. gather
ing.
Writing in his paper of the two
conventions, under the caption Part
isanship and Patriotism" Rep. O'Brien
remarks editorially:
Last week the writer was present
at the Democratic state convention
at Detroit, as a spectator, and heard
Congressman Frank Doremus, presid-
ing officer Of the convention, state
brazenly that vote for a Republican
candidate this fall will be a vote in
favor Of Germany. He boldly assert
ed that the doctrine of the Democratic
administration and Democratic poll
cies must be immune from criticism
This is in line with the campaign Of
a Democratic candidate in Massa-
chusetts who boldly circulated circu-
lars in his district, in which he made
the statement that a vote for Repub-
lican candidates and policies would be
"a m nf KafC nd
would be hailed with Joy by the Huns
Congressman Doremus' remarks
are insulting to hundreds Of thousands
Of good Americans in this great Re-
publican state of Michigan; they are
insulting to millions of citizens
throughout the length and breadth Of
this country, who, though Republicans,
are still every bit as intelligent and
patriotic and have done everything
possible to support President Wilson
in all his war policies as has Mr..
Doremus. The words of the Detroit
congressman are In line with those
made by William Jennings Bryan not
very long ago, that the war is to make
the world safe for the Democratic
party.
Will II. Hays, chairman of the Re-
publican national committee, who was
present at the Republican state con-
vention at Grand Rapids last week,
and in one of the most wonderful
speeches that the writer has ever
heard, flayed the Democratic party
most numerically, might we'll have
applied to them the comment he made
concerning the assertion by an officer
of the Democratic national commit
tee, which perhaps Mr.. Doremus
echoed, that the election of a Republi-
can congress would be a source Of
comfort and citation to the kaiser and
his cohorts. To this statement Mr..
Hays remarked that such statements
do no harm politically to the party
against which they are directed that
on the contrary they perchance call
dates and to the weakness in many
places of the opposition"
Mr.. Hays also administered a we'll
merited rebuke when he called shame
on the political party which endeavors
to make a political asset out Of the
patriotic war spirit which now in
spires this nation, and when he char
terized such conduct as IAN insult to
every soldier in France, an insult to
every Republican home" from which
