CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REC.
OMMENDS PURCHASE OF
LAND FOR PARK.

Purchase of strips of land follow
ing the river, on either side of Oliver
street for park purposes, was dis
cussed by the Chamber of Commerce
at it's luncheon Tuesday, and was
recommended to the city commission.
The land, now owned by the Will
liams estate, can be purchased for
$500, payable in installments.
The land on the north side of
Oliver street would fit in with and
form continuation of Hospital
park, while that on the south side of
the street, would make an admirable
public park, Mayor Wright has
promised the association that the
matter can be handled.
The matter of opening Park street
from Main to Comstock st. was dis
cussed informally but no action was
taken.
J. R. Colby of Bay City, who with
three others, wishes to embark in the
structural steel manufacturing busi-
ness for themselves, addressed the
business men. They have no inten-
tion of starting until business pros
poets are brighter, but are now cast
ing about for good location. They
plan to start on small scale.

NOT A SOBBINC SISTER.

AS one result of the November
Congressional elections, there will be
a woman in the House Of Represent
atives, the second in the history Of
the United States. The new Con-
gresswoman will be Miss Alice M.
Robertson, of Muskogee, Oklahoma.
Miss Robertson is business woman,
engaged in conducting very success
full restaurant, whose popularity is
due largely to her personal manage
ment. Her election over her Demo-
cratic competitor for the seat in Con-
gress was due partly to the high re-
gard in which she is held by her wide
circle of friends, and partly to the
landslide for the Republican ticket.
She is 65 years of age, and has held
a number of official positions, the
most important of which was the
postmastership of Muskogee, to which
she was appointed by President
Roosevelt. Her management of the
office was highly successful and won
her the confidence Of the people Of
the city and surrounding country.
The only previously elected woman
Congressman was Miss Jeanette
Rankin, of Montana.

THE FIGHT JUST BEGUN.

The huge proportions of the Re-
publican landslide must not be per-
mitted to drive from that party an
abiding sense of the profound re-
sponsibilities which it faces. The ma
jorities which rolled up against Will
sonism will be as readily turned upon
Republicanism four years hence un-
less record of accomplishment can
be produced in 1924 that Will merit
the stamp of the voters approval.
1t will be huge task, beset with han
dicaps bequeathcd by the retiring ad-
ministration. If it is met with reso-
lutte determination to produce results
in accordance with the party's plat
form, public. confidence will be re-
tanned, but if the size of the 1920
vote fills the party with false esti-
mate Of its power, disaster will soon
follow. Republican officials in both
state and nation must keep the pub
lie welfare constantly before them,
and bend all their energies in it's be-
half. To do so is not only sound
morals but the best Of politics.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
THE FEDERALIZED RABBLE.

One of the interesting features of
the election night demonstration in
Washington was the enthusiasm of
the applause and cheering every time
bulletin showed plurality for Cox,
which, of course, occurred only when
returns were received from a South
ern State. The explanation is easy.
During the past seven years the ad-
ministration has not only filled all
offices with Democrats, so far as pos
sible, but has chosen a large proper
ton from the South. The National
Capital is now hotbed of South
erners. Naturally, the crowds in
front of bulletin boards on election
night were made up largely of people
from the South-hence their enthu-
siasm over news favorable to Cox
1t is not likely that the Republicans,
when they come into power, will be
able to correct the wrong of excessive
appointments in the government SER
vice from one section of the country.
1t is said that by some means many
people from the South have been able
to get in on the rolls as from North
ern states, perhaps by attaining a
temporary residence there. However,
that may be, they are on the rolls
under the civil service law, and the
only way the appointments can be
equaized is to require that as vacan-
cies occur they shall be filled by ap-
pointments from those states short
of their quota.

J SKIDOO FOR SCOTT.

The defeat of Scott Ferris, Demo-
crat, for election to the Senate from
Oklahoma, was of special significance.
Ferris was formerly chairman Of the
Democratic Congressional Committee
and as such took instructions from
the White House. When the Water
Power bill was under consideration,
he took instructions from the White
House, even to the extent of rebuk-
ing two members of Wilson's cabinet.
On the League of Nations issue he
stood with Wilson, and by the aid Of
the administration was able to defeat
Gore for the Democratic nomination.
Ferris was a Wilson candidate in
every. sense, and his defeat was one
of the most significant results of the
campaign.

EVERYBODY IN.

Having failed in his frantic at
tempts to elect Gov. Cox and Sena-
tors and Representatives favorable
to his ideas Of government, Mr..
Gompers is now running to cover and
protesting his devoted allegiance to
President-elect Harding. "In any
way that the American labor move
ment, including myself" he promises,
"can be of service to him, of course il
will be our duty and pleasure. Mr.
Gompers totally fails to grasp the
spirit of Republicanism, and until he
shows some conception of it he would
better refrain from making advances
to the new administration. The Re-
publican party is seeking no special
favors from the american labor
movement" from organizations OF
capital, or from any other economic
or social association that seeks to ex.
oloit its own interests above those OF
he nation as whole. The Harding
administration will be an appeal to

INDIVIDUAL GOVERNMENT AT
AN END.

There are two outstanding benefits
that the defeat of Cox bestows upon
the country. The great fund of
craftsmanship, practical business
ability, and sound theories of econo-
mics represented in the membership
of the Republican party is released
and made available for the good of
the nation. The election of a man
like Senator Harding as the country's
chief executive insures that the best
thought Of his party will be called
into conference on national problems.
For eight long years the country has
been deprived of that reservoir of
ability and experience. Not only has
Republican advice been spurned by
Mr.. Wilson, but the best thought in
his own party has been turned aside
while he imposed his own personal
will upon the government.
After March 4th individual gov
ernment comes to an end, and in it's
place will be inaugurated a govern
ment directed by the leading minds of
party that numbers within its ranks
most of the brains of the country.
Senator Harding has declared from
the beginning that, if elected, he
would seek advice. That means that
not only will his Cabinet be one of the
strongest that ever directed the af-
fairs of the nation, but that Republi-
can leaders in both Houses of Con-
gress and in private lines of endeavor
will be freely sought for suggestion.

THANKSGIVING DAY PRocIA.
NATION BY THE GOVERNOR.

Praise waiteth for thee, o God, in

Thou crownest the year with thy
goodness; the valleys also are
covered over with corn; they
shout for joy, they also sing"
Following the custom established
by our fathers nearly three hundred
years ago, it is entirely fitting that
we should set apart one day in the
year as Thanksgiving Day.
We have gathered this year a most
abundant harvest. We have enough
and to spare. Our own people will
be fed, and out of our abundance we
shall help to satisfy the worlds hun
ger. For this and for other blessings,
for peace at home and abroad, for
the general spirit of content, for work
to do and the will to do it, the peo.
pie of Michigan may we'll give thanks
and make solemn and public ack-
nowledgement of their debt to the
Most High.
Therefore, 1, Albert E. Sleeper,
governor Of the State Of Michigan, do
hereby join the President of the

Lansing, Mich, Nov. 15.-Michi-
gan's summer resort industry, which
attracts vacationists who spend $780,
100000 each season, and the states
fisheries, with earnings based at $685.
100000 yearly, will be destroyed un-
less adequate sanitary measures are
taken to protect the fish life in the
lakes and streams, declared DR.. r. NJ.
Olin, state health commissioner, to-
day.
LACK of oxygen rather than fish
ermen's luck is the cause of the ex-
termination of fish life in Michigans
inland lakes and streams DR.. Olin
says. Industrial waste and un-
treated city sewage reduce, in the
process of decomposition, the supply
of oxygen, and the fish smother in
great numbers as they have in the
Shiawassee, Saginaw, Pine, and
Rasin. riYsts, for example"
Until MichigsAf industries discard
the notion that rivers and streams are
public sewers, the determination of
fish life will continue, according to
DR.. Olin. Nearly all the industrial
wastes, such as oil from automobile
factories, milk washings from con-
densaries and dairies, and beet sugar
refuse, are detrimental to the fish,
it is said. Even in the streams which
appear to have enough oxygen to en-
able fish to live, the organic matter
in the factory wastes and untreated
city sewage may clog their gills and
so prevent breathing.
Though the pollution of streams
may not kill the fish directly" said
DR.. Olin in continuing, "they often
become unpalatable as food after hv-
ing in filth for short time. Large
quantities Of Michigan fish shipped
out Of the state were condemned for
food last year by other states. The
Great Lakes, as we'll as the inland
bodies of water, are being affected
by the insanitary conditions of the
rivers and streams which empty into
them, and the fish are being driven
farther and farther from the ,hores
and bays.
'To save her fish life Michigan
must follow the example Of Penn
sylvania in providing and enforcing
adequate sanitary laws. That the
states lakes and streams represent
real economic value is evidenced by
the thousands of nonresident fishing
licenses issued yearly to vacationists.
Not only will these people stop COM
ing to Michigan resorts if this form
of recreation is not protected, but
even Michigan residents will be
forced to go to other states for their
vacations and recreation"

STATE CANNING CROPS
GROWERS TO ORGANIZE
Better Marketing Sought by National
Body - Fostered by American
Farm Bureau Federation.

Better Marketing Sought by National
Body - Fostered by American
Farm Bureau Federation.
East Lansing, Mich, Nov. II, 1920.
Preliminary steps have been taken
in the formation of a national body
of canning crop vegetable growers,
and Michigan growers are planning
to take their place in the country
wide organization. The purpose of
the association, which is being fos-
tered by the American Federation of
Farm Bureaus, is to bring about more
satisfactory marketing conditions for
growers of canning crops.
Great variations in the prices paid
for crops in different parts of the
country, and generally unsatisfactory
marketing conditions from the grow
ers' point of view, are among the
problems to be met by the proposed
organization.
Canning factory men in Michigan
have argued that they could not pay
more for peas in this state because
the canning people were paying a
lower price in Wisconsin," said C. w.
Waid, extension specialist at M. A. C.
in discussing the situation. Canning
factory men in the eastern states
have put up the argument that they
could not pay the price asked by
growers because tomatoes could be
purchased much cheaper in Indiana
and Illinois.
"These inequalities are among the
problems which must be faced by the
new association. II canning crops
can be grown more cheaply in one
section than in another, then there is
justice in corresponding variation
in price. If, on the other hand, the
cost Of production is quite similar in
different sections, more uniform
rate should be paid for canning
crops"
A committee consisting Of one man
from each state interested has been
appointed by President Howard of
the American Federation of Farm
Bureaus to look into the organization
possibilities for the growers. G. W..
Waid, organization secretary OF the
Vegetable Growers association of
America and extension specialist at
the state agricultural college, has
been named the Michigan representa-
tive on this committee, and is CO.
operating with the state and county
farm bureaus.

PENNSY'S STATE FLOWER.

In political circles there is much
enjoyment of the predicament in
which the Democrats find themselves
as a result of their harping on a
Senatorial oligarchy," and endeavor-
ing to prejudice voters by denounc-
ing "Penroseism." At the election
in 1914, Penrose was reelected by a
plurality Of 250,00O. At the recent
election he won by more than 600,-
900. Evidently the voters preferred
the Senatorial oligarchy" and "Pen-
roseism" to anything the Democrats
had to offer.
