BONAR LAW SAFE
I'm DIZZY CRISIS

Press) Mot the least part Of tht
political campaign will be devoted te
an apprisal Of the new premier, An
drew Bonar Law, who has been sin.
Esled out by his partisans Ito cham.
Epion the cause Of tranquility and
safety first"
In high political quarters it is de.
clared that IL tranquility is what the
nation wants It must be conceded that
. better man could not be chosen to
eptomize this desire. These quqar-
.ars essert that however much his
friends and enemies disagreeon Bonal
Laws other characteristics, they are
united in agreeing that he represents
steadfastness, straightforwardness,
stability and ssineerity-that he has
all the attributes of tranquility.
Bonar Laws friends, to use the
diction of the American campaigner,
point with pride to his qualities as
able to secure relief from the dizzy
crisis through which David Lloyd
George has been accused at frequent
intervals of taking restless nation
longing for repose.
There seems to be considerable
element of the population, however,
not confined to the opposing party,
which harbors the belief that under
Bonar Laws leadership the pendulum
may swing too far in the other direc-
tion and which fears that this may
result not in stable tranquility but
in wholesome political lethargy, or
even positive reaction.
This feeling was humorously voiced
the other day by Lloyd George him
self while attending an oyster bake
given in his honor. He remarked, in
effect, II am fond of oysters and Of
all other mollusks who are opponents
of tranquility"
That, say the partisans of Bonar
Law, was an extreme way of empha-
sizing the premier's quietness; but
nevertheless they admit that this is
one of his outstanding characteristics.
TheyThey point out his bent for
quietly studying out problems as il
lustrated by the fact that he is an
ardent lover of chess. When he de-
livered the opening address at the
recent international chess tourna-
ment he paid tribute to the keen ana
tty<zesi ssinass seprsssnted annnng 4ths
Bonar Law also plays
an efficient game but his devotion to
this pastime is measured principally
by the physical benefits he derives
from it.
Born in Canada of Scotch parents
Bonar Law came to Glasgow as a
boy. Later he was given an honorary
degree of doctor of laws by Glasgow
university and was destined to be-
come it's lord rector for several years
before and even after he entered poll
tics. He was not considered an un-
usually brilliant student, but was a
representative of the type of steady
intellectually. Although not mag
netic speaker, he always has been in
terested in affairs of state and never
has been averse to holding political
positions.

The crab apple tree, in the shade of
which, on the morning Of September
II last the bodies Of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall, rector Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church Of st. John the
Evangelist, and Mrs. Eleanor Rein
hardt Mills, a singer In the choir,
were found murdered, is gone.
Leaves, sprigs and limbs, it has
keen carried away piece by piece by
the thousands Of curio seekers from
all parts Of the country who have Wis
tied the Phillips farm since the dou-
BILE murder.
The carving Of initials on its
gnarled trunk was the first effect of
the fame which came to this dwarfed
tree. OR a time the countless curl
ous persons who visited the farm,
seemed ia be more attracted to the
: vacant farmhouse which had been
called "the mystery" house. Sudden
ly The owner Of the house, who does
not live in the building, found that it
had bsen almost depleted Of knick-
hnacks and small pieces 0f furniture.
The building was boarded up at once
and visitors were forced to seek else
where for mementoes. At first whole
branches and smaller limbs disap-
psared from the crabapple tree as
day after day saw hundreds Of mo-
G.srts in New Jersey making the
Philips farm all objective. Later
The curio seekers began cutting away
the bark.
One Of the largest Sunday crowds,
estimated at moro than 1000 persons,
which has yet gone to the scene. Of
the murder visited the farm today.
They came on foot and in automobiles.
Some travelled in limousines, others
rode in smaller cars bearing the
license plates Of Eastern, Southern
and many Western states. The crush
reached such proportions INK mid
afternoon that the two policst8sn who
have been assigned to EastcA avenue
to regulate traffic into the fsttn were
forced 10 ask for the assiets1ce OF
other patrolmen. ~
When the last Of the visitors had
1Ssas, it .was discovered that new
tran, which leads between De Rus.
sey's lane and the Lovers lane neal
which the bodies were found, had
bssn worn across the farm. And TO-

New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. 20
Mrs. Jane Gibson, pig raiser and self
styled eyewitness Of the murder of
the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and
Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, tonight
sal dshe wanted an opportunity to
confront Mrs. Hall and challenge her
10 say that she was not present at
tie staying Of her husband and did
not return later and arrange his
clothes and glasses.
Mrs. Hall, through her attorney,
has emphatically denied that she was
on the Phillips farm ON the night that
her husband was shot 10 death with
his choir singer.
Hrs. Gibson explained that it was
more than mere curiosity which
prompted her to return to the Phillips
farm after she alleges she witnessed
the murders. She claimed that in her
original statement to the authorities
she explained that she lost one Of her
moccasins. That, It was while she
was hunting for it that she saw the
double staying and rode away on her
mule at once.
Not until she reached home, Mrs.
Gfbson said, did she realize that the
presence Of her footwear on the farm
near the scene Of the murder might
lead. Investigators to connect her
with the crime. She immediately
saddled her mule, she said, and re-
turned to see woman in a gray coat,
bending over the body Of the slain
rector.

fore Clifford Hayes was arrested in
connection with the murder only to

The Dykman G. Joyce Expo Shows,

Michigan National Guard, proved to
De the best and cleanest, as well as
the largest carnival that has ever
played IN this city, which has been a
source of satisfaction 90 the members
Of the Cavalry unit Although there
were large crowds on the grounds
every night, there was not the least
disorder at. any time during the en-
tire week, the carnival people and the
visitors to the grounds conducting
themselves in an excellent manner.
The carnival proved a good thing
FOR the troop, netting the organiza-
tion about S175.O0. This was not as
large an amount as had been hoped
for By the unit as a result of the at
traction, but promises to be big

financial load that the troop has been

Cheap Roads Are
Most Expensive

The new federal aid highway bill
recently signed by President Hard
ing and providing $190,000,000 for
highway construction during the
three years starting July /, last, in
directly inflicts penalty on the COM
munity that builds cheap and costly
to-maintain pavements on important
thoroughfares.
The federal money is distributed
TO the various states with the under
standing that each state will match
It's quota, dollar for dollar. The
government, through the Bureau of
Public Roads. Department of Agri-
culture, not seeking to dictate what
type Of pavement shall be construct
cd in any given community, speci-
fies that the type of surface must be
adequate for the traffic anticipated.
However, the government does
insist on protecting its investment by
providing that the various states,
out If their own pocket, must keep
all federal aid roads in good condi-
tion Of repair If this is not done,
the government will itself maintain
any road not properly maintained
and will deduct the cost from the
states federal aid allotment.
Highway engineers point out that
the community which devotes its
quota Of federal aid to construct the
less durable pavement types will,
within a few years, be greatly burd-
ened by heavy annual repairs and
maintenance costs. This mainte-
nance henceforth can not be neglected
as it too often has been in the past.
The community which builds pave
ments that, while costing little
more at first, will last SO much long
er and not call for constant and
costly repairing, will escape the pen
alties Of heavy maintenance charges
and early reconstruction costs.
The Bureau of Public Roads, using
its observations Of the behavior Of
pavements under heavy motor truck
traffic as basis, has carefully listed
pavement types in order of their
durability. Starting with the most
durable the list Includes
Vitrified brick, sheet asphalt, ce-
ment concrete, bituminous concrete,
bituminous macadam, surface treat
ed macadam, waterbound macadam,
gravel macadam, gravel and sand
clay.

When Mr.. Creaser made, his pro
position to the representative ~'of
Holmes, Crane & Bartling, this re-
preventative did not commit himself
either way, saying that he had given
no thought to taking bonds apd
could not answer on such a matter
without taking it up and seeing lM he
could dispose of the bonds.
This recourse evidently gone
FOR the night at ast--Comifrissi4n 4ner
Creaser came back with another and
made a motion that the bid be ac-
cepted at such time as, the money
from the bonds was in the banks in
Alma. In this he did not specify his
method of raising the money by bond
sale as might have been expected af-
ter the noise that he has been max
ing in regard TO it.
Realizing that such motion
might again delay getting the work
under way, which could be started
just the minute any bond house or
bank agreed to take the bonds, the
balance of the commissioners pres
ent would not support the Creaser
motion, as they evidently realized
that this might hold up work for two
or three weeks after an agreement
was made, during which time 1t
would be necessary to print the
bonds, signed them up in Alma, send
them back to the bond house and
them wait for the money to come to
Alma.
The commissioners know that the
low bidder has large contract at
Chesaning, and that unless the work
can be put in shape so that it can
be started when the present paving
work is done here, it might lay. over
until late in the fall, when there
would be grave danger of frost, and
freezing weather, which usually
causes damage to pavement which is
being laid.
Meantime there is no certainty of
when contract for the work will be
let or whether or not the residents of
Pine street beween Superior and
Walnut will get any pavement this
year.
