'TW0$1Q,0O CHECKS
AID BUILDING FUND
Victory Memorial in D. C. Can
Be Started When $4,000
More Is Subscribed.

Two checks from Washington citi-
zens for $4,000 each today are in
the hands Of Mrs. Henry f. Dimock.
president of the George Washington
Memorial Association, to be applied
on the construction of the national
victory memorial building, to be
started this fall on the site provided
by Congress at 7th and B streets.
These are the largest contributions
that have been made to the Dis
trict's quota of the victory building
fund. though several checks of sub
mock since the pastor appeal in the
churches Sunday for patriotic sup
port of the memorial project.
$4,000 Needed Mt Once.
Effort will be made to increase the
District subscription by at least
$4,000 during the next few days. as
this amount must be collected to
bring the total fund in hand to the
half-million dollar mark, the point at
which orders will be given to COM
mence building operations. While the
state of Tennessee is now engaged
in marketing 100000 worth OF VIC
tory memorial building 6 per cent
weeks before the issue is disposed
of and the amount paid in.
AS the fund thus far collected is
only $4,000 short of the 100000 re-
quired to start operations, mis-
Dimock is hopeful this amount will
be provided by Washingtonians.
Gives 500 for Gold Star.
Donors of the $4,000 checks. which
reached Mrs. Dimock today. request
as anonymous" One check for 500
was received from a citizen, who
asked that it be used for a gold star
in the dome of the memorial building
as a memorial to his nephew. who
made the supreme sacrifice in the
wCrid war.
Emphasis was given today to the
fact that contributions of any amount
are desired. The cost of providing a
gold star for a soldier is $500, and
was part of the American forces but
spared from making the supreme sac
rifice, IS. Each person, therefore. who
gives as much as IS viii have the
satisfaction of knowing he has placed
star in the dome of the greatest
fought that mankind might be free. :.
VIII Name Chairman Soon.
Selection of "a chairman for the
committee of 100 which will direct the
carrying forward of the memorial
building project here and in the states
is expected to be made shortly. Several
of the cabinet have accepted
on the committee. The
committee will ask the governors of
the states to appoint committees
which will be assigned the task of
raising each commonweafth's quota of
the victory building fund. Mrs. Di-
mock announced Today she expected
to visit every state in the Union this
fall in the interest of the fund-rais-
ing campaign.

THE STATE 'coNsTABULARy

Just at the present time the body
of police swhs are banded together
under the organization Of the Mich
igan State iConstabulary are COM
ing in for a lot of bricks and also "a
lot of bouquets A group Of men,
fairly well Representative of the peo-
pie Of their COMMUNITY will assem-
BILE and pass a resolution. either
commencing or condemnfhg the state
police. On some of these occasions
the bricks which are handed the state
police are the result of desire on
the part of the people to cut out all
unnecessary items of expense from
everything, not excepting State and
other taxes This desire has at
tanned such proportions that in many
instances, associations, boards of SUI
pervisors, ETC., are demanding action
from the state legislature that the
Michigan State Constabulary be
discontinued, solely from an econom-
ic viewpoint. In other instances
bodies of men have gathered and
passed resolutions denouncing the
police because of their too militar-
istic attitude and from some of the
acts which they have committed
while thew have-topin vllp
while in the performance of their
duty.
In other instances bodies of peo-
pie gathered and passed resolutions
praising the good points of the con-
stabulary and strongly urging the
Legislature to keep them in power.
Many reasons are given for their
retention, among them being their
biggest claim-that the state troop
er will enforce the laws while the
locally elected or appointed officers
Of the law win not, because of the
fact that they are afraid Of injuring
the feeling of some well known ac-
quaintance or friend. A rather bad
reflection on the regular force Of
officers in that it insinuates that
they are willing to run for and ac-
cept office, take their oath that they
will faithfully carry ont and uphold
the laws of the land and then lay
down on the job. - Fss
Many people who allow that the
state constabulary is efficient and a
means of preserving order in the
state, at the same time look upon
them as a duplication of a service
which the local sheriff's force and
other officers are being maintained
and paid for and think, now that the
war is over, that there is no need of
keeping the two systems in force

Dear Editor Banner News:-
OF late much has appeared in
the papers and dispatches about a
bill in the present session of our
state Legislature to repeal the .aw
that abolished capital punishment and
to restore it upon the statute books
once more. This meets with our
hearty endorsement, as we believe,
along with many of our competent
legislators, that it will serve as a
means TO lessen crime in the state.
All we'll know that our peniten-
tiaries now are over crowded and
crimes continue with no abatement.
Holdups and knock downs, attempts
to kill and all such, are first degree
murders as well as those of the cold
blooded variety. Were the law made
to hang a few Of them made to con-
front them, we believe they would
think twice before they shot,, or
pulled the stunt.
We sincerely hope this bill will
become law, and all in favor of it
should write their state representa-
tives at once, voicing your approval
and soliciting his support for law and
order.
We think this another way to cur
tail state expenditures in cases
whereby some are granted new tri-
ais and resentenced. But some will
say you may hang the wrong man.
This is only farce as we all know
that as intelligent people, that the
laws are so clearly defined as to
cases beyond a reasonable doubt, SO
there is no fear but what justice
will be carefully scrutinized, Yes,
give us capital punishment for those
who care not for the life Of others,
but who seek solely to satisfy their
own lusts and gain.
