that led Ponce de Leon, the

His rediscovery Of Florida in

Their first visits to this region
date back to 1910. It was not
until 1868 however, that the first
actual settlement was made.
This was the mission at Sault
Sainte Marie, founded by Father
Marquette. Mackinac was es-
tablished a few years later, and
Detroit's growth was slow.
After the French and Indian
wars the English took over this
territory, and in 1774 1t was for
mally declared part Of Canada.
Detroit rapidly grew in impor-
lance and during the Revolution
was the base Of operations for
many raids by the British and
Indians against the Americans.
BY the terms of the treaty of
Paris in 1888 this region became
a part of the United States.
What is now Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, a part Of Minnesota, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio was known as
the Northwest territory. After
Ohio was set off as a separate
state the Lower Peninsula Of
Michigan was joined to Indiana
territory. In 1906 Michigan be-
came a separate territory with
about its present boundaries.
There was, however, a great
dispute over a small strip of
land in the extreme southern
portion which was claimed by
Ohio. This almost led to blood
shed, but was finally settled by
Michigan releasing her claim to
the disputed area and receiving
as compensation an addition to
the Upper Peninsula. On this
basis Michigan was admitted to
the Union in 1887 and became
the twenty-sixth state.

COMMENT OVER
WEST VIRGINIA
PUBLICATION OF THE LIST OF
SLACkERS
From The Hampshire Review

NTtoUt Uc F'N''NN't
The publication, by the War De-
partment, OF the list Of slackers,
commenced a few days ago, has ere
ated, as might have been expected,
a great commotion. Ia many places
where the list was published, 1t was
found that men listed as draft dod-
gers had, in fact, served in the ar
my and had honorable records. Ma
ior Murdoch, Director OF the Draft,
in Pennsylvania, has been making
a strong fight against the publica'
ton OF the list in that state, claim
ing it will be unfair to the draft
boards as we'll as to some Of the
men who did not respond to the call
of the draft boards for iustitiable
reasons. He lays the blame on the
War Department.
Well this trouble and injustice
could have been obviated If the
state authorities had gone out OF
their way little-done a little ex-
ira work. When the writer learned
that the list of delinquents would
be published. az Governor he I'M
3utant General Harris ana asked for
mediately communicated with Ad
a copy of the list for West Vir-
ginia. After considerable correspond
ence it was procured with the un-
Outstanding it would be handled as
an official and confidential docu
ment. A letter was then sent from
the Governors office to each former
draft board member asking him il
a copy of the list for his county,
whether he would, in conjunction
with the other board members and
the county officers. go over the
list, check it carefully and strike
eff the names Of any persons whom
it might be ascertained served in
the army, had died or had Lawful
reasons for not answering the call
In nearly every case favorable re
sponse was received. whereupon a
list for the respective counties was
sent the members with instructions
to check it as instructed and re
turn it. In this way the errors were
corrected, wherever possible and i
is believed the West Virginia list /!
as nearly correct as it is humanity
/ possible to make it. The checking o
course caused a great deal of work
especially in the Governors Office
but it appeared TO be the obviou!
thing to do to save some from beinl
branded unfairly as a Stacker
brand a man who served his coun
try would not care to wear anC
which would cause great suffering
to the family and friends of young
men who died after registration and
before being called. Other states
could have pursued the same course
The blame lies with them rather
than with the War Department.
And speaking of the Stacker list ir
this state: In a few large counties
the names on the list ran into the
hundreds. This county had but one
who, by the way. was subsequently
adjudged mentally irresponsible
But one county, as we now recall
had one-the county of Upshur.

WHAT KIND OF PICTURES?
(Erop the WheeIinu IntelliQencer)

/
Moving picture men OF west var
ginia and Pennsylvania, including
some from our own city, are holdlns
their annual convention in Pitts
| burgh. As is true OF all gatherings
of motion picture men these days,
th2 question of the kind OF pictures
to be shown is occupying promln-
ent place in the Discussion
Undoubtedly there are some eX-
hibitors who are willing to snow
anything that will draw crowd, but
fortunately they are not in the ma
jority, nor are they the proprietors
OF the permanently prosperous the
aires. All exhibitors want pictures
at will please the public. That IS
natural, and is a perfectly legitl-
mate ambition. But there is wide
difference between pictures that
please and those that merely make
cheap appeal to the coarser emo
ton.
Most of our Wheeling exhibitors
have shown gratifying determine
ton to avoid pictures of the unde-
sirable class. In considering this
big question Of what should be
shown on the screen. 1t should al
ways be kept in mind that we can
not expect the moving picture stage
to adopt standards of public amuse
ments radically different from those
Of the theatrical stage or of the
books in our public Libraries.
The comparison between books
and the picture show is not exact
although 1t is a fact that every pub
lie library has on its shelves hun
dreds of volumes that would bring
out the police il they were to be
shown on the screen Many of them
are of decidedly classical and sa-
cred nature, too. But we may take
the theatrical stage as an exact par
allel 1t is a matter Of common jus.
tice to ssume that whatever is
shown on the stage may also be
shown on the screen.
Now, do we find the stage elimin
ating all references TO crime or the
other unfortunate and deplorable
features of human life? Assuredly
not A true picture OF life includes
crime az we'll as virtue; clouds as
we'll as sunshine. To eliminate the
dark side and show only the bright
would be recognized by the public
as strained and artificial.
This does not mean that the dark
side should be stressed or made te
appear attractive. Crime and the
grosser side of human nature should
be presented in their true colors
and their proper perspective. They
cannot be ignored by the stage oil
the screen because they are a part
of the daily life of every commun
ity. But criminals should never be
presented as heroes, nor offenses
against common decency extenuated
or painted in attractive hues. Lei
the stage and screen present vel
balanced truths and they will not be
subject to just criticism.

SIX YEARS.

We can recall the beginnings of
the Berkeley County Farm Bureau
n;cnic and the difficulty which il had
n getting the attention of the farm
ers and the people generally. 1t
Is an institution which, by its ma
lure, ought to get wide considera-
ton and patronage; it fills the place
formerly occupied by the Inwood

/ of the rights of the states; while
his opponent, Alexander Hamilton,
was for a strong central govern
ment. This line Of cleavage has sub
sided more or less to the present
day, although the result of the Civil
war decided one phase of the states
right doctrine when carried to an
extreme.
But one can not fail to note that
in recent years the states appear to
be shifting their duties and respon-
sibilities on to the national govern
ment at Washington. We say zap
pear" because we mean appear" In
a number of cases this apparent dis
position to put on the national gov
eminent duties and powers which
the states would a few years ago
zealously have claimed for them
selves is merely the desire OF re
formers" or persons having fads to
cater to, or others wishing to take
a short cut to results, to have the
federal government coerce or bride
/ the individual states to do things
which the states have no DISPOSE
! ton to do for themselves
Thus there are those who are al
/ ways endeavoring to get congress
to appropriate money for state pur-
poses on condition that the states
raise a certain sum in order to make
/ the appropriation available in such
state. This is both a species of bri-
+ berry and coercion. If a state stays
/ out and refuses to make an appro-
priation, it still pays part Of the
appropriation from the national
treasury which goes to other states
that accept the bait. In self protec-
ton, then, state has to tax itself
| to get back part OF the money
that it is forced to contribute for
/ Improvements in other states Once
this principle has begun, only hea-
ven knows where it will stop.
The ranks of those who sit down
and study ways to make a raid on
the national treasury easy and at
tractiye are being enthusiastically
recruited. 1t is the most fascinating
OF all pastimes, business, voeations
Or whatever it is.
Then we have to call on the ma
tional government to take care of
babies, to do this and do that: TO
become a great paternalistic piece
Of machinery. which. beginning
with doing things for the state
will end with doing everything for
the individual, who will soon have
nothing left for himself to do ex
cept to devise more time for
amusement. which. in time, will
have to be furnished by the ma
tional government out of the ma
tional treasury. That this may seem
upon careful reflection on the way
things are going.
However, the appeal in the Min
go county case to the national gov
eminent was not exactly in this
line. 1t was merely another illustra
ton of the principle of unprepared
ness. The state had omitted certain
measures which experience seems
to show should have been taken
The reason for such omission may
afford an excuse but it does not re
flute the fact But all the same
there is being impressed upon us

also true that a state can do Ior it's
own people some things better than
the national government can or e
ought to. But the trend toward
showing things off on the national

which hitherto have been botlv as
