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

Principles are great things, and the man who
adopts one and cliRgs to it though the heavens
fall, always excites admiration. But when ad-
herence to principle leads to murder, strife, an
archy and general lapse from civilization there
always arises the possibility that the principle it
self is not quite sound.
This applies to the situation in West Virginia
The coal operators hold it as an article of faith
that the miners should not be permitted to organize
or to prescribe any of the conditions under which
they work. In pursuance of that conviction they
find it necessary to hire assassins, in the guise of
private detectives to keep labor leaders cut of the
mining regions, nip incpient strikes in the bud, sup
ply evidence in the event of any dispute. and do
whatever else is necessary to keep the miners
from organizing to improve their condition.
There can be no doubt as to the sincerity of the
operators They honestly believe it would be
deadly sin, by the side of which murder, arson
or perjury become mere venial ofenses, 10 allow
unonism 10 take root in the mining regions. And
in defense of that faith they are willing that min
crs should shoot detectives and detectives should
shoot miners.

conveniences were estabished-is it not at least
possible that the state as whole would be better
off, that the relation between miners and mine own

it was pity that Lakeland was an inland town
and could not take part in the stand taken by
the best editorial we have read on the subject of
coastwise shipping to combat the excessive freight
