OBITUARY
Loomis

Our community has been called
upon to mourn the death of another
of its respected citizens and val
liant soldier of the Civil War, in the
person of William H. Loomis, of Ar
bella, who passed to the great beyond
on new years day, Jan. l, 1921, as
the result of stroke of apoplexy.
He was fine, kindly, genial old gen
tleman, with word of hope and en-
couragement for everyone, and in
spite of very painful physical infrm-
tiles always manifested a patience
and spirit of cheerfulness that was
admirable. He will, thel efo1e, be
sadly missed and mourned, not only
by the members of his immediate
family, but by all who knew him.
William II. LOOMS, youngest son of
Newman and Valencia Loomis, was
born at Springwater, N. Y, March A,
1841. He came to Michigan when a
young man and spent the rest of his
life here. In 1864 he was united in
marriage to Miss Mary Jane Davis,
of which union eleven children were

Why Men Commit Suicide.

The coroner of Chicago reports
that suicides in that city increas-
ed "a per cent during the first
seven months of 1921 as compar-
ed with the first seven months
of 1920.
An analysis of his report shows
that three times as many men
killed themselves as women. All
were between the ages of 80 and
90. Twice as many married
men found life uncomfortable as
compared with the bachelors,
which might indicate that the
city by the lake is not one to be
selected for connubial felicity.
AS to the means of "shufiing
off this mortal COLL" a third of
the unfortunates chose gas as a
method. Shooting was a close
second and the causese given
were temporary insanity, in
most of the cases, and despond-
ency in the others.
Mental experts have expressed
doubt of the sanity of any per-
son who deliberately ends his
own life. The natural dread of
the unknown, in the normal,
right-minded person, keeps
many a sufferer bearing the ills
we have. rather than fly to
others that we know not Of"
How much the human heart
may bear and yet not break, "
wrote the poet long ago. And
it is true and very fortunate for
the human race that it is true.
The old maxim that GAS long as
there is life there is hope" still
appeals powerfully to the most
of us and causes us TO seek to
make the best of what may
times appe ar to be a desperate
situation.
This is seen in the case of
those suffering from mortal ill
ness. They hand on desperately
to life, fight for it and often win
their battle through sheer deter
mination. This was true in the
influenza epidemic, in which
many strong men and women
died, while frail and feeble
bodies came through the fight
surviving.

An Educational AutOcfacy.

pdiRH 1OI Tic oOOpIAOA VI viz
two school amendments, is hav-
ing published in the Louisville
newspapers a series of interviews
with schools heads throughout
the State, a very large percent
age of whom declare themselves
in favor of the amendments.
The persistency with which
these interviews are being print
ed leads to the conclusion that
the Department regards this
species of propaganda as a very
impressive argument for the
adoption of the amendments.
A basic principle that the De-
partment seems to have over
looked entirely is that the schools
exist for the benefit of the child
zen, and not for the benefit of
the teachers and the superintend-
ents. School laws should be
framed and administered in the
interest of the children who at
tend the schools and the taxpay-
ers who support the schools,
rather that in the interest of the
teachers and superintendent,
who are the benefciaries of the
taxpayers money.
Moreover, the administration
of any law should not be left to
the element in our population
most directly affected by that ad-
ministration. If this were per-
mitted, selfish considerations
would invariably defeat justice.
If our banking laws were
framed and administered by the
bankers alone we might depend
upon it that they would be in the
interest of the banks and not the
people, If the manufacturers
framed the tariff laws, manufact.
urers' interests would be given
prime consideration. The same
principle is true in any profession
or in any line of business. Lop
sided justice would be the result
We do not mean to 60 to the
other extreme. Bankers shoulC
be consulted on laws affecting
financial matters; manufacturer!
on tariff schedules; railroad
officials and labor leaders wher
workingmen's laws are being
enacted, but the in
fuence should be only of an ad
visory character. No specia
class should be allowed to die
tate the legislation under which
it operates. There should be
variety of counsel, providing
system of checks and balances
which is the best insuranc
against special favors, and tn
best guaranty of wise and jus
laws.
During the present campaig
in Kentucky, it seems that thi
principle is being disaegarde6
