TOO HARD on PAT

In last weeks Iron Ore George New
EFT has an editorial, written in the
style that only Mr.. Newett is master
OF and which. II read with the degree
of humor In which IL was undoubtedly
conceived. Is certainly entertaining
and productive of hearty laugh. The
editorial in question deals with the
fish hatchery, over which there is a
contention between Marquette county
and the western end OF the peninsula.
Mr.. Newett makes Pat O'Brien the
goat. Evidently he got under Pats
hide, Judging from the hot reply in
Mondays Daily Reporter
While all can see the humor in Mr..
Newett's excellently written article,
yet, personally. We believe that Mr..
Newett is too hard on Pat. Mr.. 0'Brien
has schampioned the proposal to have
the hatchery located In the west end OF
the peninsula but he was not the ori-
ginator OF the move nor has he done
any more TO further IL than others.
We believe that Mr.. ID. II. Campbell
did the pioneering in the enterprise.
Both the Reporter and The Diamond
Drill joined in the move because we
thought IL only justice and because we
felt that Mr.. Vandenboom, under the
reports current, had totally ignored
the major portion OF his constituents
in his efforts TO place the hatchery in
Marquette county.
Perhaps we are all at fault in max
ing this issue sectional one. lt is
NO crime as Mr. Newett has aptly
said. for Mr., yandenboom to work for
his own county. Perhaps he has not
done the things that has been credit
ed TO him. He says that he has not
taken any steps TO favor Marquette
county against the balance OF his dis
trict and until IL becomes fairly GER
tain that he has done something con-
trary 10 his announced stand We must
accept his statement as gospel One
little matter that Mr.. Vandenboom can
clear up is the action taken by the
State Grange In its convention at
Flint. A resolution was introduced
at that meeting. so we learn on very
good authority. by a young woman, a
delegate from the local Grange unit
10 which Mr.. Vandenboom belongs,
favoring the establishment of fish
hatchery in Marquette county. or
course Mr.. Vandenboom didn't intro
duce the resolution and there Is no
evidence that he was instrumental in
having IL introduced but there is al
ways the suspicion of the "fne Italian
hand" in occurrences of the kind so
that one might be excused II, In his
mind he formed suspicion OF a con-
Meeting link. And. then again, one
may be wrong Who knows? Vanden-
boom, OF course.
But, TO return to Mr. Newetts edi-
toriai. watinell Is whangbasion?
Define IL, George.

The first colonlsts in virginia were
adventurers. John Smith, TO say the
least, was a soldier OF Fortune. and II
he had not served time in a penal in
stitution he should have done so for
many OF the things he did in the col
|ony. The colonies to the south OF
Virginia were mostly havens for men
out of debtors prison.
The colonies beginning with Mary
land, north were founded by men OF
religious and political convictions.
The south has resources, the equal
of anything. IL not the superior. OF the
north They have coal and iron, oil,
sulphur and vast wator power. The
soil Is far richer than anything in the
north and climate Is the same climate
as in Spain, Ancient Carthage, Rome,
Greece. Phoenician. Egypt and Baby
lon. who each in its turn had ruled the
world At the first half OF the nine
teenth century the sonth had the
statesmen OF the land.
But the south had slavery and today
practically all of the lynching is In the
south. There has always been ram
pant a spirit OF lawlessness south OF
the Mason and Dixon line. This has
been her big handicap. II has kept
back the growth in population. wealth
and industry. She has never had the
charge OF the blue laws" against her,
but by the same token she has never
appealed to the brain and Drawn of the
horde OF immigrants from Europe.
The earliest colonists in New Eng
land suffered because of the cold win
ters. The hills of New England. New
York and Pennsylvania have always
been sterile compared with the sunny
plains OF the south Yet il is here
that the eyes of the whole world have
been turned. The cities have grown
in wealth and population, the vast
syatem OF railroads have centered
here. practically all OF the schools and
colleges OF the country are in the
north. Wealth has accumulated and
men have grown I'm numbers and pow
er. Why has this been soY Men
know that law and order has always
prevailed i'm the north. II has been
the home OF the blue laws, that are SO
sneeringly spoken of, every once In a
while. law and order is the biggest

It more forcibly shown than In the

Men will come from the south OF
Europe into the cold and inclement
climate OF the north because they
know that their rights will be protect

CITY LAKE is

Rains Have Put Ample Supply
in Reservoir; Improve

Right Along.

With 13 feet more water in the city
lake as u result of the spring rains,
Ardmore is in no danger of water
shortage this season, City Manager
Dyer states. The last rain added a
great deal to the lake, Mr.. Dyer said,
adding that at present there are fully
s inches more water in the lake than
at any time last year.
"This will not make us let up one
bit on the proposed improvements Mr..
Dyer continued, but because of the
continued rains and the inability OF
contractors to get to Ardmore to COM
plete their plans as they had desired.
we have, upon the request of a mum
Der of bidders, postponed the letting of
the contract for the construction of
the dam from Monday, May 10, TO
Monday, May 22."
Rains have been general over the en-
tire southwest section Of the country,
and have not been limited to the local
vicinity, thus the granting of the re-
quest as the roads in many places are

President Harding Looks with
Favor on Ohio Man for
Associate Justice.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11-Presi
dent Harding may appoint an Ohi(
Democrat to succeed William R. Day
Assistant Justice of the United
States Supreme Court.
If the appointment goes to ar

Weld Peck, Cincinnati, United
States District Judge for Southern
Ohio, and Maurice H. Donahue, Co
lumbus, United States Circuit Judge
for the Sixth Judicial District.
Judge Peck is not candidate for
the place, but friends of Judge Don
ahue are active.
That Judge Peck is held IN high
esteem at the Department Of Justice
was indicated when Attorgey-Gener
al Harry NJ. Daugherty compliment
ed him highly in discussing The situa
ton with newspaper correspondents
Mr.. Daugherty remarked that the
Cincinnati man was the type of jur
ist he gladly would indorse for a seat
in the nations highest tribunal.
Mr.. Daugherty added}that he had
known and admired Judge Peck foi
many years in Ohio tbefore Judge
Peck was appointed to the Fedora
bench two years ago.
Under the existing practice, the
President obtains an Endorsement
from the Attorny'General before
making any judicial appointment.
