in the field added to their wisdom
in council.
with the exception of Andrew
johnson and Mr.. Taft, every Repub-
lican President has been a soldier.
GAS between the two military men
who have been mentioned for the Re-
publican nomination, General Per-
shing has had the great opportunity
in the field, and has used it we'll,
but it is probable that Major General
Wood would have stronger follow
ing within the party. If he has seen
less hard fighting than Pershing, he
has had better opportunities of
demonstrating his powers as an adj
ministrator. Indeed, he stands forth
as one Of the best all-round men in
the field of our present survey He
is just four weeks younger than Per-
shing, and fit for any sort of service.
He is a Harvard graduate, man of
fine culture and wide knowledge of
the world. Trained as doctor, his
keen interest in military matters led
him to become an army surgeon, and
the bravery he displayed in an ardu-
Gus campaign against the Apaches

gressional medal

Spain his friendship with Theodore
Roosevelt, then Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, resulted in the organiza-

housing problem remains, and more
building is obviously the only answer
And the time to build, if possible, is
just as obviously now. 1t is more
likely that dealers will be willing TO
make concessions in order to start
things going than that prices of ma
terials will be lower within the next
year or so. The great demand for
dwellings should make mortgage loans
good"
This view is not shared by "The
New York World" which believes
that a legislative committee already
has provided an instrument to cope
with the situation, and that New
York, should it profit by experiences
abroad. can extricate itself from an
apparently inextricable position.

idea Of the seriousness Of the situa-

J. A. Coleman, president of the West

Association:
Don't move. If there is no place

The field is by no means so re-
stricted in the Republican party.
At least sixteen men have been
mentioned as possible candidates.
The death of Colonel Roosevelt
deprived the Republicans of their
paramount figure, and brought
forth potential candidates who
doubtless would not have been
suggested were the late ex-Presi-
dent alive.
These men are ex-President

A straw vote taken by a Fort

General Wood leading with 1895
votes, while his nearest Republi-

General Pershing was fifth with

In this same test vote the
Democratic favorites were found
to be President Wilson, Vice

"The situation here in Detroit is per-
fectly clear. There are many more
people wanting houses than there are

will get them either by hunting harder

Furthermore
"The real estate agents never be-

In the years gone by seriously doubt many
times if labor has received it's fair share of the pros
perity of this great country. We as manufacturers
have got to open eyes to wider vision of the
present and the future with reference to our work
men. We have got to devise ways and means by
which capital and labor. that have 80 often been
termed synonymous, shall, share equally, not in
theory, but in practice. We have got to devise
ways and means of education We must not only
talk about these things but we must do these things
We have got TO realize that many unjust demands
will be made by labor they probably have been
made by capitalists and employers in the past That
Is one of the lessons this great has taught us
