areas where local showers have fall

and yields of corn, potatoes, beans
and truck are much shortened. The
ground is too dry for blowing, and
very little wheat and rye will be sown
unless copious rains fall soon. The
hot, dry weather has checked blight

apples, and the quality is reported

THE LABOR TRUST

The end OF the nineteenth century
found the so-caIled "interests" largely
in control OF the government. The
invisible government" before Roose-
volts time was curbed by the Inter
state Commerce and Antitrust acts
Until Wilson's time the captains of
industry who made the United States
world power were recognized as en-
titled by their ability to be consulted
but through the Interstate Com
merce and Antitrust statutes they
were restricted so that they must not
monopolizc or restrain trade. They
were great builders. Freight and
passenger rates were low. Efic-
iency was at a premium. Strikes
were local not national.
Then came the Wilson regime and
its "New Freedom No longer were
great builders admired. No more was
achievement acknowledged, Never
had Morgan, Rockefeller or Hill ex-
ertcd the power over legislation that
Untermer, Brandeis, and Gompers
exercised during Wilson's eight years
At the end of Wilson's reign, for il
was Il reign with dictatorial powers
granted during the war, a labor
oligarchy was established, a monopo-
listic control Of this country. "Collec-
tive bargaining" had become "monop-
olistic bargaining" The great labor
unions had immunity not granted any
other combinations The Attorney
General had an appropriation to curb
trusts but must not be used to curb
labor trusts.
Now we are in the midst of the con
test TO decide whether these great la
Dor monopolies shall control the
United States. The Labor Trust
differs from the money Trust
markedly. Murder, massacre, in
surrection, blowing up Of tipples,
crippling Of engines are recognized
as usually accompanying restraint Of
trade by the Labor Trust" The
Money Trust" so-callcd has been de-
throned. The Labor Trust must be
dethroned. Neither a Money Trust"
nor a Labor Trust" can be permit
ted to stop industry and cause star
walton. Violence must cease. The
right to work must not be destroyed
by sabotage or Herrin massacres.
If those now in political power can
not or will not maintain law and or
der, others will be chosen in their
stead 1t is no time for compromise
or surrender.

With Our State
Contemporaries
GOVERNOR GROEsBECK

Governor Groesbeck's office at
Lansing announces that there will be
general State tax decrease this
year of $3,072,0OO. No matter what
devices of accounting may have been
enlisted to encourage favorable
showing, three million dollars is
three million dollars-and reversed
trend in the appalling Michigan tax
growth will be welcome news to the
Commonwealth. Governor Groesbeck
inherited a desperate fiscal situation.
He chose to deal with it-and the
whole muddled problem of State Gov
ernmcnt-through a new admins
trative system built on the theory Of
concentrated responsibility. The
theory was absolutely sound. Many
critics say that it has been abused.
Many others are suspending their
judgment pending an opportunity for
its more adequate trial and test, con-
cedinC that in so novel an experiment
the Governor is entitled to a second
term in which to thoroughly develop
the adventure. Meanwhile, the Gov
ernor's friends can point to a budget
reduction of $3,072,000 during the
first full year Of the new system as
preliminary evidence that it is laden
with rich possibilities of popular adj
vantage. And this added fact must
have universal acknowledgment: in
the futherance Of his program for
Michigan and in the attainment of
such economies he has only scratch
ed the surface of inviting POSSIBLE
ties. Governor Groesbeck has con-
scientiously "made a job" of his
public responsibilities, working long
er and more continuous hours upon
that "job" than almost any private
citizen dedicates to his private af-
fairs. This sort of thing deserves
public recognition lest silence be
taken as proof Of the futility of gain
ing public appreciation for earnest
public works.-Grand Rapids Herald.

"To Gratiot County Farm Bureau
Members
"Your executive committee per-

NJ. Smith of Clinton County for
Congress. Our representative should
be independent, honest, experienced,

lieve Mr.. Smith possesses these
qualities in greater degree than any
other candidate.
"While we do not presume to ex-
press any views, but our own, we
wish to call the attention of every
member Of this farm bureau to the
fact that the Agricultural section Of
the Eighth Congressional District
has played only an insignificant part
in the selection Of the congressman
for the past 80 years. This should
not be and need not be if the rural
voters realize they can poll two
thirds Of the votes in the district.
United action and your presence at
the polls give you control Of the sit

matter your thoughtful consideration
and say it with votes, Sept. 18th.

We all know a few things, but
think we know more.
This world is full Of bunk, but this
assertion is not a port of it.
When your friends begin TO tell you
their troubles, unload yours onto
them. 1t works.
Never tell stale joke. Forcing a
laugh is too annoying to your friends.
Some people don't believe in pay
ing others back in their own coin.
They keep it, instead.
A safe way to get good public Of
ficials is to select men whom we con
cede to be better than ourselves-if
there are any.
Young men in love are adopts at
;oncealing their state Of mind-when
no one else is around.
Some people go crooked because
they think that right is on the wrong
side.
Don't feel embarrassed, sister,

rises quickly to the bait.
A mans soul is his most priceless
possession, and about the only thing

For the sake of your intelligence,
don't buy best seller" Select

With the buffet cars abolished, rail
road companies are putting library

Why do people persist in calling

predict severe winter it will help

Did You EUer
Stop to Think?

That you should never lose an OPP
portunity to let the outside world
know more about your city?
That you should stimulate among
your own people, more pride in their
city?
That you should encourage, by
your patronage and moral support,
the industries and manufactures Of
your city?
That the sure way to reach the big
buying public is through the adver-
Using columns of your newspaper?
That service, together with high
quality merchandise, can be bought
from your home town merchant?
Why buy by mail? Buy at home.
That you live in a country rich in
natural reso irces, where land values
are low and fertility high?
That if man does not believe in
the city in which he lives, he should
move to some other city? He won't
be missed, he will just make room
for man who does believe in it?
That the long summer days Of
prosperity are just ahead? Those
who are still skeptical about the
greatly improved conditions of our
country should wake up, look around,
read the newspapers. Get uptodate.
That your newspapers are your
citye best friends.
That your merchants, manufact-
urers, and wholesalers, carry large
stocks of seasonablc merchandise.
They are not surpassed by any city of
your size in the world, and equalled
by few.
