boom in the upper peninsula. In this
connection II might be stated that
Lowden is coming along well even in
Michigan where Gen Wood is suppos-

Governor Lowden made a very favor
able impression when he visited De
troit last week His time was oppor-
tune for three conventions were In
session at the time, one OF them being
the bean growers and II was largely
attended by farmers. Many words Of
praise were heard for Lowden about
the hotel corridors during the day and
II was evident to anyone who took the
pains to observe that he had made
many friends. Messrs O'Brien and
Peterman will find many Lowden
friends IN their territory, although it
looks as If General Wood has the in
side track in the peninsula just now.

AT the meeting OF the joint board

week. statistics compiled by DR.. Bar

presented, showing the Michigan hos

for the insane in the hospitals now
available.
Among the statistics presented were
those on the different kinds OF insafl-

insanity proved very interesting. The
statistics covered the years 1917. 1918
and 1919. The figures on alcoholism
remained stationery for the three
years, the proportion OF insane in the
hospitals of Michigan because OF al
coholism being about 43 OF each TO-

Crystal Falls. Michigan,
January 10. 1920

January 10. 1920.
The City Commission OF the
City OF Crystal Falls has
learned with deep sorrow OF
the death OF William John
Richards.
Mr.. Richards. for many
years a resident OF the Town
ship OF Crystal Falls, was In
timateIy associated and con-
nected, not only with the
business life OF the City and
County and It's development.
but with It's political and Soc
ial progress as well. Any
business venture or enter
prise that had for its pur-
pose the building up OF the
community and the develop
ment OF its resources. had al
once his influence and sup
port. and frequently finan-
cial aid. A political figure
in the county for many years.
he stood always on the side
OF moral and intellectual
progress, and was fore
most advocate of better
county roads, and municipal
and educational improve
ments. Our county roads,
our public schools and our
city hall were all brought a
bout during the time when he
occupied a position OF poll
tical prominence in the com
munity, and his influence, adj
vice and support were al
ways to the end that they
be brought to their present
high standard OF completion.
In the simplicity OF his life
he exemplified the rarest vir-
tues OF American citizen
ship. Every step in his car
eer has been in the direction
OF moral and social better
ment and the advancement of
the highest and best interest
OF the community;
Resolved that these express
sions of the Commission be
spread upon the minutes OF
this meeting and that the
City Clerk be directed to
send a copy to the family OF
the deceased.

THE WARNING OF A REASONER.
Roger w. Babson's opinion on mat.
tiers economic must be listened tc
with respect. What. he says about
the prospect for the immediate future
an this country is too obviously prob
able to be easily forgotten by even
those most immersed in the present
orgy OF recklesness and self-indul-
gence. His analysis OF the situation
in America Is the more impressive be-
cause he does not speak as a moralist
but as a cold reasoner. There is
nothing hysterical or emotional in his
declaration that Americas present
condition OF bloated prosperity is due
10 national selfishness rather to ply
steal economic sauses; that the
mass OF the people are responsible for
<the conditions by reason of their man
Ia for getting as much pay as possible
for rs little work as possible, and that
because OF this unnatural condition,
IAN 'accentuated business depression is
inevitable, and will materialize not
later than 1921
Mr.. Babson merely recites some well
known and all too obtrusive conditions
and then reasons out OF wide ex-
werience from cause to effect 1t is
TO be noted, however, that Mr.. Babson
does not say the future he sees is
unacceptable. He merely takes the
position that the country will not
escape IT, He appears to assume that
abe present high jinks will continue
nntf1 the lights are turned out He
does not look for a saving return to
sanity.
Unfortunately such pesslmism is all
TOO justifable While we are talking
.Amerioanism and the obligation OF
each of us TO do ones duty by his
country and his fellows. the mass OF
ms are studlously leaving the actual
practice of virtue to the other fellow
The mass Of us are trying all the
time to get something for nothing, or
NJ least we are looking with unholy
envy on those that do, condemning
them meantime, not for their sin but
for their better fortune
Most or all OF our troubles could be
eliminated by the practice OF decent
ahrift and square dealing But who
wants to practise thrift, who wants TO
be scrupulous, while the show is go
ing fuli blast. and the music and the
dancing proceed? The delicate eyes
or youth are being dazzled by the
sheen OF easy money and by lure OF
what that money will buy. The
hearts OF the elders are being turned |
astray by the prospects Of all sorts OF
short cuts TO wealth and by luxury |
that seems 10 lie within grasp. We
are become like the foolish grasshop-
per OF the fable who sported gaily !
throughout the whole summer of HIS !
prosperity with never a thought for
The nipping cold OF the winter. II the |
frost blights us we will have only our
selves 10 blame Detroit Free Press

The action OF the New York state
assembly in ousting five Socialist
party members merely because they
are Socialists doesn't take well in the
country among the people who are
not Socialists or OF Sociallstic ten
denotes. The action OF the assembly
was against an entire party with no
charge OF disloyalty lodged against IL!
Members OF the Socialist party may
be disloyal some members OF the re-
publican or democratic parties may
be disloyal but that Is no reason why
party as party should be attack
ed. The act OF the New York assem-
bly, Is looked upon as a swing OF the
pendulum 100 far In the opposite dir
ecoion for the general good. The
American people like fair play, they
can be trusted when the necessity
arises, TO stop disloyalty but they will
not sanction attempts against the
American citizens liberty as defined

One OF the most malignant attacks
made upon a public man in Michigan
in many a day was thai OF the De-
troit News in its account of the in
vestigation of the administration OF
Gen. Wood over Cuban affairs while
he was entrusted with them by the
United States government. To the
casual headline reader 1t looked as II
a secret investigation had been made
and the report suppressed, implying
that something criminal was. hidden.
A reading OF the article, however, dis
closed that the investigation was one
held at an executive session OF the
senate and II was treated just as every |
other item of business transacted at
executive sessions are treated; 1t was |
held from the records for three years. |
The investigation came in connection |
with the consideration OF an appoint
ment and all appointments, until the |
time, have been considered at |
executive sessions. The text OF the |
article further disclosed that the |
were made by an enemy OF
General Wood; that General Wood |
notified the official under him who had
charge OF the letting OF contracts that
his (Wood's) brother-in-law was
member OF contracting firm that
might bid on Cuban contracts; that
he official should be particular that
no favor should be shown that firm.
The News went out OF its way to at
ack Gen. Wood on matter which, In
al fairness, doesn't deserve TO be
reated as the News treated IL. The
'esult upon any fair minded person
must have been counter to what the
Sews intended and perhaps in that
light. the attack did Woods candidacy
