THE GOVERNORSHIP

Alexander j. Groesbeck, candidate
for governor of Michigan, on the
Republican ticket, is in every way a
man of whom the people of the state
have reason to be proud. He is a
product of Michigan public schools, a
graduate of her State University and
by the exercise of his own talents has
achieved high position in the bust
ness and political life of the state.
His has been a career, typically
American, and such as Americans
should delight to honor. We have no
desire and no cause to say anything
derogatory of former governor w.
n. Ferris. He also has been a splen-
did citizen of our state, but he has
been signally honored by our people
and could consistently make no COM
plant if the favor of the people in
the present instance should be con-
ferred upon an equally able and
equally deserving man. A patriotic
citizen, great lawyer, thoroughly
versed in state affairs, Alex. j. Groes-
beck, if elected, will make one of the
most valuable executives that Mich
igan ever had. c. H. R.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Bringing the complex question of
the League of Nations TO final and
easily comprehended analysis, the
question is this shall the sovereign
ty of these United States pass from
the people thereof to a combination
of powers ninety per cent. foreign.
For a period of nearly $50 years
our people have governed them
selves. During that time through
consistent pursuit of governmental
principles originating under the
stars and stripes, consecrated by the
labors of the fathers of the republic
and hallowed by the blood of heroes
and martyrs, we became the richest,
the greatest, the most prosperous,
the happiest and freest people in the
annals of time. Our ideals and ira
ditions became a beacon of hope TO
the nations of all the earth. Why
then depart from a plan of action
that has been so beneficent in its
results? Why abandon a career that
has gained for us so much distinc-
ton?
Looking into the future with the
eyes of the seer, measuring all the
blood and tears that American liber-
w had cost, with the vision before
him of the bloody footprints in the
SHOWS of Valley Forge, knowing the
depths of European political in
trigue, George Washington, in his
final address to his countrymen
warned them to beware of "entang-
ling foreign alliances" and his warn
ing is perhaps more applicable to-
day than ever before.
Are we going to turn our destinies
as nation over to a combination of
foreigners with wholly different So
cial ideals, partly monarchical in SEN
timent, stepped in jealousies an in
trigue, who have been living elbow
to elbow for thousand years? Are
we going to lend assent, even, to such
a program? May God forbid.
Our wars in the past have been of
our own making, but this proposed
League of Nations wuold let us in
for all wars everywhere and of every
body's making. War, it is well to
remember, is that supreme whirl-
wind of force and passion which
loosed upon a country, threatens
every home and fireside-even the
foundations of national life itself.
With this important point in mind
it is proper to inquire as to who
would determine our duty in case
we should be asked to send troops
abroad under the provisions of the
League of Nations. Some people
say that Article Ten does rot amount
to anything; the president of the
United States might say that, con-
gress, even, might support the presi-
dent in his declaration, and yet un-
der the provisions of the Versailles
covenant our action would not rest
with any or all of these; it would be
determined by the League itself
ninety per cent. foreign-in which
our great nation would have the
same voting power as the Moslem
kingdom of Hedjaz, with popula-

PLACE 1T YOURSELF

Don't lend yourself, Mr.. Voter or
Mrs. Voter, to any effort directed to

many of us who would be made I'M

story of the old darby who was phi
losophizing on something of this sort
and who said that when the master
went out into the sugar bush to test
the syrup he did not ask show tall
was de trees dat dis sap come from?"
He only inquired "what kind of
syrup is it," And reverting to a
further and more sublime lesson we
may recall with profit that when the
crowd were about to stone the wo-
man the Great Master said "Let him
among you who without sin cast the
first stone" 1t is whole lot better
in all of life's activities to lend a
