Michigan's Proclamation Coverno,

Michigan's Proclamation Governor
When Michigan's final chapter of
history is written it will contain the
record of Governor Sleeper, who has
apparently outdistanced by long odds
all other governors of this state. or
any other state in the number of
proclamations issued. Gov. Sleeper
seems to run to proclamations. his
latest creation in the nature of a
"Ship by Truck proclamation FOR
the writing of which perhaps the shin
by truck fellows probably patted our
chief executive on the back and as
sured him it was "a masterpiece
among all of the many like produc-
tions he had ever created and sent
broadcast over the state.
Some of the governors proclama-
tons are all right in that they come
at the right time and are aimed to
foster greater respect and observance
for days and movements which have
cred to all residents of the common.
wealth, but when the governor of
great state like Michigan apparently
dilly-dallies around and finds time
to issue so many proclamations, il
shows a weakness in that direction
on his part and hurts the proclama-
ton business to such an extent that
the people will not take great deal
Of stock in them after awhile.
1t used to be that governor only
issued about two or three proclama-
tons at the most, each year, but now
well we haven't kept track Of them,
they have come so thick and fast,
1t is entirely unnecessary and a care
full summing up Of Michigan's his
tory for a number Of years past will
will lead one to believe that the main
business Of man at the head of our
great state is issuing proclamations
and delivering speeches at Sunday
school picnics.
Why not few proclamations aim
ed at lowering taxes through a wise
cutting down of unnecessary state
expense items.

HALF SOLES
FASHIONABLE
Wear Old Shoes Longer to
Bring Prices Of New
Ones Within Reach.

Chicago, April 4.-Half soles will
be more popular than ever this sea-
son. They will be worn either sew
ed or tackled. long and thin. Price,
rather than fashion, has so decreed.
Predictions that shoes are going
to be cheaper will undoubtedly
prove true IL made often enough
and long enough" a leading shoe
man stated here today. And while
those persons are figuring the de-
crease in shoe prices, let them fore
cast the time when wages will be
back on the old level OF $1.25-not
this season, but perhaps in the next
ten or fifteen years"
Boston. April 4.-No indications
Of a drop in the price of shoes or
leather for the spring sales was
shown last week, according to re-
ports Of the Boot and Shoe Record
er, which has compiled statistics Of
the leather industry over the entire
country.
The leather market was firm and
quotations, compared with the same
week last year, were one or two
points higher. Best sole leather
sold last year at IS cents q pound
and this year at 81 pound.

RainDriuesDame
Fashion to Lobbies
In Atlantic City

Atlantic City, n. J., April 4--The
first dry" Easter in the history OF
Atlantic City turned out to be also
the first wet one in six years.
A drenching rain, which began Its
kill-joy patter against the hotel
windows early in the morning and
continued all day, chased the lovely
paraders and their pets Off the
boardwalk and transformed the
great day of gladness into one of
gloom and darkness.
After parking their pet in safe,
dry places, the most daring and per-
sistent parade enthusiasts showed
themselves between IL o'clock and
noon. But it was a dreary fmita-
ton of an Easter parade. Thousands
of umbrellas formed a black, glim-
mering roof over the black, glim-
mertng boardwalk. And under them
the girls and women walked hud-
died together, their finery mostly
concealed by wraps and overcoats;
their flowers dropping weepily. The
men made a fitting background In
their mackintoshes, and even the
sullen sea seemed clad in a gray
raincoat
shortly after IL o'clock the down
pour doubled in volume and even
the courageous ones sought snelter
After that the pioneers of new
styles were seen in the hotel Hobbies.
A few seemed to take interminable
rides in rolling chairs as If to show
the elements that humanity, too,
could be stubborn. They looked like
sad-eyed, dethroned queens in glass
coaches from which gold decora-
tions and coats of arms had been
washed away. More sad-eyed still
were the chair pushers, who had
their own troubles navigating the
vehicles against the stiff south
wester.
About o'clock the rain abated
somewhat and changed into a chilly
drizzle, however, the real spirit of
the Easter show remained clouded
like the sun. And whatever there
was of fashion display was seen in
tn large hotels.

SAYS TEACHERS BILL
MAY COST 900, 900
CBy Herald Leased wire.)

New York, April 4.-Mayor Hylan

ator and assemblyman from New
York city stating that IL the State
Legislature adopts the pending
lockwood d-Donohue bill increasing
teachers salaries, IL will add from
$25, 900, 900 to $50, o,0oo,o 900 more to the
city's budget. This sum. the mayor
says, would be necessary. in addition
to the $17.000,00o needed to meet
teachers pay advances previously
authorized.
After saying that the burden of
the Lockwood-Donohue bill would
fall upon the rent payers as well as
the home owners, the mayor adds:
IF the people want It have no
objection to 1t, but the least can
do is to present the facts to them
and IL the taxes are raised the
blame will rest on the Legislators
and not on the city administration" !"
