BOOZE TAKES FINAL FALL OUT
OF TWO DRUNKEN DRIVERS

Fred Mortimore, of Antrim town
ship, returning from Oakley Friday
ran his auto into that of Arthur
Adams, of Caledonia, and was arrest
ed, fined $50 and $5 costs and must
pay for damage to the Adams ma
chine. He was intoxicated.
Later Friday morning the sheriff
was called to arrest S. Thatcher, who
ran his machine into that of G. W.
Kelly, of Caledonia. He paid 500
fine and $5 costs and will repair the
Kelly machine. Thatcher was too
drunk to realize that his own ma
chine would not run after the collision
and spent some time trying to drive ii
ahead where it would have landed in
an foot ditch. Fortunately no one
was injured.

Verdict for So ,i64 on a Twenty. r ear.
Old Case.

A jury in the circuit court, Tuesday.
gave the estate of Charles II. Sayre a
verdict against the Grand Trunk Rail
road for $1,000 with added interest
since 1895 amounting in all to about
$3,l The suit was begun in 1896 tc
collect damages for the burning of a
mill between Durand and Gaines,
which the owner claimed was caused
by sparks from an engine. After the
case was started the plaintiff died and
the case was not revived until after the
Perry fire cases had been tried, nearly
twenty years.

ever inscribed on the statute books by
the shaking hand of Bourbon Demo-
cracy was signed by Mr.. Wilson, with
a promise to hank anyone as high as
Haman who complained of depres-
sion. Today everyone of those indus
tries is responding nobly to the Lib
erty Loan. What do you suppose
would have been the outcome if those
industries had been subjected to three
years of the Wilson Underwood tariff
law, its effects not offset by war?
What one of them today would have
any money to subscribe to the Ma
tional Defense? And what will be
their portion after the war, under
policy calling for the removal of all
economic barriers, except another
dissolution?
In Liberty Loan speech at New
Orleans Secretary McAdoo took occa-
sion to voice his "infinite contempt"
for anyone who would attempt to use
the present crisis of the nation for
partisan advantage. We hardly know
how to classify this remark. 1t hard
ly falls under the head of deathbed re-
pentance-for Mr.. McAdoo is a very
live one, if his friends are to be relied
upon. 1t is more likely case of re-
pentance after the fact; for it is we'll
known that in thousands of appoint
ments which have become necessary
in the administration of the new rev.
enue laws, great care has been taken,
almost everywhere, to name none but
Democrats of the straightest sect to
these places, which all come under Mr..
McAdoo's supervision and where, if
he really wished to abolish PARTISAN
ship, it would have been easy to find
a competent Republican for every
Democrat-competent or incompetent
who has been put upon the payroll.
There is no doubt of the sincerity of
Mr.. McAdoo's non-partisan appeal in
the matter of subscriptions to the
Liberty Loan. He would as soon have
Republican dollar as a Democratic
dollar. Maybe sooner. At any rate,
he is getting more of them.
On behalf of George Creel the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Evening Post denied that Creel
said he was proud the United States
entered the war unprepared. There
upon the notes of the official stenog-
rapher, who took CreePs speech, were
again Transcribed and Creel's remark
exhibited in its shameless nakedness.
The Post correspondent then declared
that presumably Mr. Creel was una
ware that any one took down his ut
terances." There now remains no pre-
sumption that Creel made the state
ment attributed to him or that denial
of having made it adds falsehood to
infamous utterance. Taking this to-
gether with the falsehood regarding
airplanes sent abroad, spread broad
cast by the Creel bureau less than a
month ago, it would seem that the
Committee on Public Information has
been so painfully discredited that
continuance of its activities under the
present chairman must be more en-
barrassing than helpful to the Admin
istration. The corrective is obvious:
Fire George Creel!
