T. r. NEVER SOLD OUT.

Is there any doubt as to just what
Theodore Roosevelt would say about
the league covenant were he alive to-
day? Those on both sides of the ques-
ton are attempting to state what his
views would be. There is only one
answer. Roosevelt was one of the
greatest examples and exponents of
Americanism the country has ever
known. He practiced what he preach
ed and preached what he practiced. He
stood for America first, last and all the
time and was firm believer in the
teachings Of George Washington.
Would he consent to the surrender Of
American rights as demanded in the
covenant? Would he consent to the
giving of one vote 10 the United States
in council containing nine? Would
he allow the Monroe Doctrine to be
relegated to the scrap heap? Would
he consent to the wholesale amending
of our own constitution necessary to
make it possible for the adoption Of the
league? Every man who knew Roose-
welt in the slightest will answer "No"
to all these questions.

PUSH FIGHT ON OAT
DISEASE in MICHIGAN

East Lansing, Mich, Mar. 31.-The
fight against smut of oats, disease
which in seasons past has collected
heavy toll of the Michigan farmer, will
be pushed this spring on a statewide
scale, it is announced from the depart
ment of plant pathology at M. A. C..
Through county agricultural agents,
message will be addressed to farmers
this spring recommending the more
general treatment of seed oats with
formaldehyde.
"In untreated fields OF oats, $50 per
cent of the oat crop was destroyed by
smut last season." declared DR.. G. H.
Coons, of M. A. c. This represents
loss of something like 100000 bu.
"On fields where the seed oats had
been treated before planting. smut was
almost entirely absent"
Information on how to treat seed oats
effectively and economically is being
supplied to farmers on request by
county agricultural agents, and by the
experiment station Of M. A. c., in Eas,
Lansing.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1919-04-04
A Telephone Deficit Also.

For years the American Telephone
Company, ably managed, wisely financ-
ed and intelligently mindful of the
peoples interest, performed admirably
a work of prime national Importance.
1t was not an infrequent thing, it be-
came habitual, for telephone rates to be
lowered. Yet all the while the service
constantly improved. And the company
was steady and prolific Garner for its
stockholders.
The Government took over the op-
Grafton OF the telephones as it took over
the operation of the railroads. Then,
exactly as had happened in the case of
the railroads, the Old Nick got into the
wires. More of the earnings were eaten
up, but there was nothing to show for
it. Important tolls were increased, but
the service grew worse. In the first five
months of Government operation there
was deficit of close to "a, ZOO, 900 for a
company hitherto accustomed to moth
ing but fat surpluses.
And now general increase of rates
amounting to IL per cent will be nec-
essary TO wipe out the deficit and pro-
vide thin surplus-a surplus, perhaps;
then again, perhaps not. For, as Gov
ernment operation can wipe out any
surplus that exists in anything, Govern
ment operation, when there is no sur
plus, is an insurmountable barrier
against the creation of one. A surplus
indeed, however high the charges to
the public are lacked up, seems as alb
horrent to Government operation as
good service.
The touch of the Government in bust
ness is the touch of death.-New York
Sun.

HAIL CAESAR!

A year or so ago the Democratic
boosters took delight in likening Wood
row Wilson to Abraham Lincoln. They
overlooked, however, one important
stinction-Lincoln did not assume to
exercise the powers of both the execu-
tive and the legislative branch of the
Government. Having had some ex-
perience. in Congress himself, Lincoln
recognized the probability that men,
bers OF Congress might have some
opinions that were worth considering.
We shall get along better if we have
more presidents of the Lincoln type and
fewer of the Wilson type.
The Wilson administration evidently
thinks the people will be so busy earn
ing money to pay their taxes they
won't have time to ask where th'
money has gone.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1919-04-04

and when he stops to think that the
government is paying one half of the
entire cost, Wayne county one-third
of the other half, and the cities and
villages sixty-five per cent, he will
naturally ask himself the question,
"How much, or how little will we be
privileged to pay?". He then will be
prepared to answer the greater ques-
ton, "This is indeed fair partnership
and now is the time for cooperation. "
Conditions which existed rs years ago
in Michigan, but which no longer OBJ
tain, led to the putting of an article in
our constitution which forbids the state
bonding for any public improvements.
Since then we have learned from ex-
perience the wisdom of permitting,
with the authority of the state, our
cities to issue bonds for highways,
water works, school buildings, and
other public improvements, and leave
the issuing OF the bonds to the legis-
lative body of the clty-viz., the city
council or school board. The people OF
Michigan also permit townships and
counties to sell bonds for building
roads, as well as for other public pur.
poses, and trust the matter of issuing
and disposing of the bonds to the legis-
lative body of such township or county
viz, the town board or the county
board OF supervisors. In view of the
urgent need for good market roads in
Michigan, and with the millions of dol.
lars offered to our state by the Nation
al Government, on $3.50 basis, for
building such higways, can there be
any possible reason or excuse for any
citizen of this state for failure to vote
for Good Roads Amendment, which
places the whole matter of issuing the
authorized bonds in the hands of the
legislature of our state? Especially sc
when our failure to meet the reason.
able requirements of the National Gov
ernment will mean the loss OF these
millions of Federal aid?
May again appeal to you to tell your
neighbor the truth. Tell him that this
is not fifty million bond issue, but on
the other hand it is an amendment tc
the constitution that will enable the
legislature to meet the Federal Govern,
ment as necessity may require. Ex
plain to them that if the amendment
carries, we will have the authority tc
issue the bonds of the state for the
purpose herein indicated, and thus, al
together, PULL MICHIGAN OUT OF
THE MUD.

TO ENCOURAGE TREE
PLANTING in STATE

East Lansing, Mich, Mar. 31.-As a
move in the direction of encouraging
the more general planting of trees in
Michigan, the department of forestry at
NJ. A. c. has announced plans of SELL
ing seedlings at cost from the college
nurseries in East Lansing to the public.
Up until two years ago the depart
ment made practice Of giving away
seedlings to schools and to public in
stitutions, but war conditions sent costs
up SO high that this program had to be
relinguished.
The seedlings in the nurseries at M.
A. C. are from trees of all species. In
quiries, it is announced, can be ad-
dressed to the Department of Forestry,
M. A. c. East Lansing.
