nected with it at all. The enthusiasm. for instance. which greeted 'Itur- rah for Soviet Russia. yesterday. dis gusts. The consideration of such man as Henry Ford for the Presi- dency. capable as he. is. is beyond contemplation.
 A Third Party cannot be forced even though its component groups are willing to make concessions for ex- pediency's sake. Yesterday the rad ical platform, Labor's platform in great degree was adopted over the minority platform of the more con servative. Were the difference nf opinion over mere technicalities, or were there varying degrees possible in the bastc hopes of the different groups assembled at Chicago there might be hope. But the differences are over Fundamentals. and to those fundamentals each group will cling.
 The fact of the matter is that the radical element dominated and there is no arguing with that radical ele- ment. Many, if not most of the dele gates were very near to the foreign born-which is nothing against the foreign born. It merely shows that in matters political and economic they cannot agree with real Americans by blood.
 The growth of any party must be natural. Any crystalized result of the convention at Chicago now would be very far from that. Therein lies the fruitlessness of the attempt.

BASTILLE DAY.

July II in France is the same to the French people as July is to the Am crican people. The fall of the Bastille prison t7s9 marked the downfall in France of the nobility, and from that time on a republican form of govern mCnt rapidly developed. To com memorate the fall, there is monu- ment which stands to this day. silent reminder to French royalty.
 The celebration in France yester- day should be reviewed by all Ameri- cans The French people thought not only of themselves but of the Ameri- can soldiers that are in burial grounds overseas. Every American grave in France was decorated. and in Paris special services were conducted in the churches for American and French dead.
 The victory parade in Paris two years ago was repeated this year but there were not the victorious Ameri- can troops to march under the Arc
  cheered as they went down the Champs d'Elysees of the Place Con cord. The American troops march ing to the strains of Dixie has had it's effect on the Frenehmen and yes. terday by taking popular subscription for the American flower fund and buying flowers for the graves they showed that they had not forgotten our American immortal dead.
 The Americans have had part in helping preserve the rights of the French people such as the fall of the Bastine symboiizes. and the French nation showed their realization of this fact yesterday by honoring our American dead.
 May France have many more Bae- tile days and may she always re- member how the Americans harmon ize in thought with her on that day.

THE VICTORY MEDAL.

The army's plan to distribute a medal among the veterans of the great war is meeting with general approval with the public. The vic- tory medal has R lot Of red tape con- nected with securing it. and only de- serving soldiers will get one. The medal will give credit for overseas duty and for drives or major opera ttons that the individual soldier took part in.
 The red tape to secure the medal seems like a hardship at first. but on second thought. its proportion of justice to the ex-service man is direct. How many times has an ex-service man been in a skeptical mood about the tales of war coming from an- others lips? The medal with the credit for services rendered will tend to assist the listener to deruc fair percentage from the sum total of information so generously given.
 To get the medal. the soldier has
 
 it is checked up by government of- ficials. The soldier Is naturally hesitant about giving up his discharge paper. but 1t is the only way that the government has to check up on the awarding of tho medal.
 In doing this the government is expressing confidence in the soldier The more operations that the sol- dier has on his medal. the greater the hardships that he is liable to have experienced. The government knows that the soldier who has sacrificed tho most for his country. is its most loyal supporter and expresses a deep compliment to the man by giving a medal to add weight to anything he might say.
 If this medal were given to a man who went through many drives and hardships and that man talked against hardships in the army what harm it would do .! Wouldn't the propaganda against the army reach enormous maInitude7 The govern ment is like an individual for it knows that a man who has done lot for hts country never loses an opportunity to further tho cause for which he has made his sacrifice. Such an expres- sion of confidence on the part of our government should be deserving of the thanks of all who were connected with this great struggle.

DEATH OF MRS. KATHERINE
RYAN

Mrs. Mary Katherine Ryan died
this morning at her home at 219
South Lansing street. She had been
seriously i'll for some time.
Mrs. Ryan, nee Brown, was born
in Owosso al years ago and attended
the Owoso schools. On September
21, 1897, she was married to Will
lam D. Ryan. Mr.. Ryan, an Ann
Arbor engineer, was killed in a
wreck few years ago.
The deceased was faithful men,
Der of st. PauPs Catholic church and
was a woman of sterling character
loved and respected by wide circle
of friends.
Surviving her are five children,
Robert Ryan, Detroit; Sister Brenda,
Port Huron; William, Teresa and
John Francis Ryan, all at home. She
also leaves her parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Patrick Brown, one sister, Mrs. c.

country had been kept at peace with
the whole world while other nations
were engaged in the most terrible war
in history and our honor has remain
ed unsullied.
"The slogan He kept us out of
war will be the most effective argu-
ment the Democrats can use in the
campaign. / cannot see where the
Republicans can get an issue. With
peace, prosperity and preparedness
comprehending all the issues, where
in can the Republicans hope to win
votes? They cannot fall back on
the tariff, for the prosperity that
abounds everywhere is obvious refu-
tation of their boasted protection.
"Americanism has been pre-empted
by the President and every other
problem of national import has been
met squarely and satisfactorily"
1t is thus apparent that Cox was
one of the active leaders in deceiving
the people four years ago, but ex-
poets them to take him seriously now.
He not only deceived the people con-
corning the "Kept us out of war"
falsehood, but also concerning TIE re-
lation of the then existing prosperity
to the tariff question.
AS matter of fact, proven by the
official records, the Democratic tariff
law of 1913 resulted in increased i'm
ports and decreased exports, bringing
the nation to the verge of financial
disaster until the outbreak of the war
cut off imports and afforded the in
dustries of the United States a new
and unprecedented market for COM
modities of every kind, particularly
for foodstuffs, clothing, horses and
munitions. The war gave the United
States an accumulated net trade bal
ance of more than $12,OOO,OOO 900,
and yet Mr.. Cox deliberately declared
in 1916 that "the prosperity that
abounds everywhere is obvious refu-
tation of their boasted protection"
The other statement by Mr.. Cox
that "Americanism has been pre-
empted by the President" was also
deception, for it was soon disclosed
that internationalism and not Ameri-
canism was what Mr.. Wilson and
his party had rreempted. Instead of
standing for the interests of America
first, President Wilson and his party
urged that America make the "su-
preme sacrifice" in the interest of
Europe.
Having no means of judging the
future but by the past, the voters
are manifesting a very decided in.
''cliHation to look-with suspicion upon
the campaign statements made by
Governor Cox in his own campaign.

OWOSSO GAS TROUBLES DIS.
CUSSED.

Gas consumers Of Owosso aired
their troubles before the Public Util-
tiles Commission in an open meeting
for all interested in the matter of bet
ter gas service Tuesday night. The
complaints by the consumers were so
numerous that the chairman of the
commission decided that Owosso
should get the attention of expert
engineers Immediately to find the
trouble in the local concern.
The meeting was opened by Chair
man Smith of the commission with
an explanation of the position Of the
Commission in regard to the service
given by public utility corporations,
and it's powers. In his talk he made
it evident that Owosso was not the
only city in the state suffering from
poor gas service, saying that of the
Sc gas companies in the state Is are
now under the supervision of the
Commission and that most of them
are having troubles similar to those
experienced here.
Following his explanatory talk, the
chairman invited those present to tell
what they knew of the local situa-
ton. Several took the opportunity to
tell of service which gave such low
pressure at times that the gas would
not light and others of meters that
registered a flow of gas at times
when they claimed there was none be-
ing used and of increased bills and
no service. Offers of the company
interspersed the complaints with ex-
plantations of local conditions and
some answers to complaints.
At the conclusion of the meeting
Chairman Smith declared that he was
convinced that there was a need of
immediate action and would give
Owosso preference in regard to at
tention Of the investigating engi-
neers and send them next Monday.
Regarding prices on gas, Mr.. Smith
stated that it was evident that the
present rate was insufficient for the
company to give good service on, and
that an increase would be necessary
in all probability. The consensus of
opinion among all the consumers
present was that they did not care
so much if the price was raised if
they could get service that was salts

Democrats who have been congrat-
ulating themselves that the Tennes-
see legislature, controlled by their
party, was the last to make effective
the suffrage amendment, must feel a
trife chagrined that the earlier ac-

cation resolution ordered expunged
from the records Of the Tennessee
House of Representatives. Forum
ately for the women voters of the
country the certifcation of the gov
ernor had already gone to Washing
ton and Secretary Of State Colby has
issued the proclamation that gives
the women the vote. Otherwise the

would have nullified the favorable
action of 20 Republican States, so
