.ity Relief; Committee Do
ing Good Work.

The Community Relief under direc-
ton Of Mrs. A. L. Densmore and
supported by donations given by
manufacturers. received letter
from eight families in the city
Thursday who are nearly destitute.
The names of the families are
withheld because, as Mrs. Dens-
more states, they have never ap-
pealed for help before and perhaps
never will again.
Mrs. Densmore states that in
most cases the children are with
out underclothing and shoes. Do
nations Of clothing, vegetables,
fruits and also money will be &C
cepted.
The committee also makes a
strong plea to the farmers of the
surrounding country, to make do
nations of vegetables of all sorts
canned fruits and salt pork. These
donations will be accepted by Mrs

work about three weeks ago and

DOCTORS AUTOS

Shiawassee Club Takes Steps
to Aid Physicians
on Calls.

Through L L. Omar the Shia-
wassee Auto club will order doc
tors protective plates to be placed
on all doctors cars. The purpose
OF these Is to protect doctors If
speeding on emergency calls and
also give them the right of way.
Mr.. l.. l.. Omar, manager of
the Shiawassee Auto club stated
Wednesday morning that special
attention should be taken by the
public in general to watch for cars
with doctors plates attached and
give them the right-of-way.
"In all cases doctors should not
be held up in the traffic but al
lowed to pass Others" he said
perhaps the doctor is on a death
call. A road hog is never salts
fed, and perhaps some time wher
he holds a doctor from passing
the call will be to his family"
These plates will be issued i'm.
mediately after the first of the
year.

.OWOSSO RECEIVES
NEW FIRE FIGHTER

After several delays the new

ton which carries 1900 to 1000
feet of hose, chemical and pump.
1t also carries ladders and other
equipment. 1t will throw $50 gal
Ions of water at 120-pound pump

sure.
The truck is of the six-cylinder
type, 150-horse power, and can de-
velop a speed of As miles per

League Defeat
Not Partisan

"In order that the country may keep
the important facts of recent history
straight, IL Is unfortunately necessary
from time to time to correct gross
misstatements disseminated by the
Democratic Press
Now let US analyze that statement"
says the association. IF the league
was defeated purely for partisan rea-
sons, then that was the exclusive
reason for its defeat-the only purpose
and motive actuating those who voted
against ratification. II that statement
is true, then those who voted against
the league disregarded their country's
welfare and were guided solely by party
prejudice. II that statement Is true.
then those who voted to defeat the
league were unpatriotic.
"Now notice where the assertion of
our Democratic friend leads him. There
was a national election following the
defeat OF the league. and the league
was the chief issue in that election.
The people voted their sentiments upon
the league when they voted for candi-
dates for the presidency and for the
United States senate.
Warren g. Harding. who, as a mem
ber Of the senate, voted against rati-
fcation Of the league as submitted by
President Wilson. was elected president
by a vote OF 100000 to 10000 for
his Democratic opponent who was at
one with Mr.. Wilson. Did the people
Of America do that purely for partisan
reasons?' Were the people OF America
as unpatriotic as our Democratic friend
would have us believe the politicians
were?
Among the senators who voted
| against the league were Brandegee OF
Connecticut. Cummins of Iowa, Curtis
| Of Kansas, Lenroot of Wisconsin. Moses
OF Now Hampshire, Smoot of Utah.
| Penrose of Pennsylvania, Wadsworth
| Of New York and Watson OF Indiana
men scattered throughout the United
| States. All of them were reelected bS
| normal or excessive pluralities. The
people of their states reelected these
senators. thus ratifying their action In
voting against the league.
| ''If the league was defeated for par
| tisan reasons, II must have been the
| Republican partisan reasons. for the
| overwhelming majority of the votes
| against the league were cast by Re
pubiicans. But the results OF the elec
tion disclosed a largely increased Re
publican membership of the senate. II
| which body the league was defeated.
From every viewpoint, the action o
the opponents of the league has beer
upheld and approved by the people o
the several states and the people of tn
| nation a whole. An indictment o
the opponents OF the league is, there
| fore. an indictment of the great ma
jority OF the people OF the country. Al
indictment OF the majority of the peopl
is an indictment of Representative
popular government. We leave to tn
Democratic press the task Of showinl
that this is not the unavoidable con
clusion from the assertion that tn
opponents of the league were actuates
by purely partisan reasons
