honor of Frank Little, at the
home of his mother Mrs. George
Little, it being his eighteenth

RAILWAY PROJECT
LOOKS FAVORABLE

Armada, May 22-W. A. Dudley
represented Armada's committee
at Lansing in the interest Of the
Detroit, Armada and Northern
railway meeting held recently.
Various committees were present
from Detroit, Frazier and other
points along the proposed rail
way.
The committees met with the
Public Utilities Commission to see
what might be done about selling
bonds and financing the road. Mr..
Dudley states that no definite de-
cision was made but it was
thought that the bonds could soon
be sold and the road financed and
that prospects for the continuance
of the road building were good,
Further business will be conduct
ed along, this line in the near
future.
Mr.. Jacobson, of Detroit, build
er of roads, has again aroused
the interest of the people in this
road, which was begun previous
to the war, and the proposition
is again being backed with a new
interest. AS Armada has train
service only morning and night,
such a road would be greatly ap-
preciated here. A bus line run
ming between Armada and Mount
Clemens is now giving midday
service which is badly needed.

MUSIC STUDY CLUB

The regular meeting Of the
Music Study club on Teusday Of
this week closed the club meet
ings for this year.
This was one of the most sue
cessful and delightful gather
ings of the whole year or perhaps
of the three years of existence Of
the Music club, organized through
the efforts of a few Of our pro-
gressive and energetic ladies
and continued with unabated
ardor and zeal, giving the club
members, Of which there are
about fifty, a splendid literary
knowledge of current events in
the musical world, of old masters
and new, and a taste of the best
music, and to all others the club
has provided musical and literary
talent from the best entertain
ment courses which certainly
brings benefit to any town.
The Yale Music Study club
feels that with their three years
of active work they will be in bet
ter readiness than ever to take
up their line Of study again in
the fall, the program committee
having already completed the
subjects for consideration. Also
there will be three fine entertain
ments during the winter from the
Redpath people, which stands as
guarantee in itself.
1t is hoped that there will be
others to become members of the
Club as it is the clubs desire for
all to join who are interested in
the work.
On the occasion of the last
meeting the members with guests
met at the home of Mrs. Edward
Andreae with over fifty present,
and as noted before the program
was in the hands of Miss Marion
Fitzgerald. pianist, Mrs. George
Robbins, soprano, and Miss Cecile
Hazelton, contralto, all of Port
Huron.
With the beautiful spring flow
ers, white lilacS, purple iris, ILL
les of the valley and pink honey
suckle spreading their fragrance
through the rooms, the audience
listened to a wonderful program
of vocal and instrumental music
and were delighted and charmed
with the efficiency and talent of
the pianist, and the sweetness
and harmony in the tones of the
vocalists, both of whom were
heard at the Sacred Concert given
in the Presbyterian church re-
Gently.
The hour was a rare treat and
most thoroughly enjoyed.
At the close a large number,
about thirty, had delicious sup
per at Mrs. HERS Tea Room,
which completed the afternoon.
Mrs. c. T. Peacock, the presi-
dent is retiring with a good years
work back of her. Mrs. George
Barth is taking her place with
splendid amount Of enthusiasm
which speaks we'll for the future
of the Music Club.

INCREASE IN CARS.

.AAs 0A~>
 Roger Babson says the moderately well l-to-do are the first to retrench and the last to resume liberal spend- ing. It is for this reason, undoubtad ly. that they are moderately we'll to do." The sort of person who spends his money the moment he gets it never becomes even moderately well off, no matter how much he earns.
 On the other hand, the man who is the last to take q chance is not the man who gains great riches. Where considerable wealth exists if it has not been inherited, it will usually be found in the possession of men who have keen business vision and who are not afraid to invest even if there is an element of danger in the plan, if their judgment tells them that the chances of success are good
 In the increase in automobile regl- istration there must be seen an ln- crease in the number purchased. If it may be assuned that the very, wealthy people, unaffected by tinan- cial conditions last year and the year before, had all the cars they wanted, or if it may be assumed that the new cars bought by members of this class merely took the place of cars owned by them the year before last there would be no increase in the number of licenses granted on cars belonging to this wealthy group of people.
 If the Above assumption is the cor rect one. and it is difficult to see wherein it is false, the conclusion must be reached that the moderately well-to do purchased more cars and had them licensed the year just past than the previous year. From thls follows logically the conclusion that the class of people who are habltual- lv. according to that keen judge, MT, Babson. the first to retrench and the last to cease doing so, have begun to snend more freely-which is splen- did practical bit of evidence tha' sancly. cautiously wise men see good times ahead.

If anowers were re- ceived 10 90 out of % of the letters, and Of those 90 replies 94ia per cent favored the. cuts then more than 94ia per cent of the ten who did not reply were not in favor of the cuts.

 For these reasons the test may scarcely be said to reflect the general sentiment in the city although it is admitted that such straw vote, throughout the city would probably show some strong sentiment in favor Of cuts.

BROAD STATEMENTS

Occasion has been taken to depre- cate the making of broad statements or general statements by people in authority and in high places. Remarks heard on the floor of the common council chamber, have been critised.
 To learn that newly appointed Senator of the United States, man of whom much that is fine was said when he took his seat, has apparent lv been guilty of similar manner of sncal<jng makes such broad talking, such general statements none tn" less to be deplored; the fact merely indl- cates how far the fault has been car ried
 Senator Pepper is accused Of having imputed dishonor to every democratic Senator who voted against Newberry when his case was before the Senate. t is reported that Senator Pepper said he was quoted correctly when ms speech was partially read, He de- tended his words and adds that the democrats approached the Ne~berry matter with the wrong spirit namely cons,de ration og pur,S rather than of the case.
 Senator Pepper had no right to

DISAPPOINTMENT

There are two reasons, if not more
 why the administration is glad tha,
 there seems to be Il good excuse fol mot announcing the decision Of the
 nited States regarding attendance al
 the Genoa conference. The first is the
 very good one that President Harding
 has not made up In his mind, if signs
 may be read correctly, whether to fol-
 low his own inclination and accept, or he guided by slightly doubtful Senti-
 ment in high circles against the ac- ceptance, This anti-acceptance senti- ment is not only an echo Of the clamor
 that was raised by the Republican party against entrance into the League of Nations, but 1t is also the result of the feeling that acceptance under the present conditions, with Soviet Russia
 plahning to attend. would be quasi | recognition of that government--a thing which the administration Is not
 ready, as yet to do.
 Incidentally it may be said that a little plain speaking and few clear
 rules of interpretation of the accept
 ance Of the United States, would abolish this obstacle. Were it plainly
 understood that Russia would be represented only as country not recognized for any purposes outside the conference purposes, and Russia s attendance desired only as the evil dence of someone may be required in
 have some equity in the matter in- volved, but not present interest as far there could be no objection to the at
 tendance of the United States on this ground.
 The second reason why a postpone ment of decision is welcomed is that the United States would really like to have the matters to be discussed more thoroughly and clearly agreed upon than they are at present. The United States would like to see what is to be the status of the suggested alliance between France; it would like to see what attitude Premier Poincare is going to assume as the weeks pass. Moreover the United States will not find itself without matters of vital in terest here at home. It is willing to wait gladly before taking a step which if that step means refusal to parti- cipate in the conference, may do this country inestimable harm.
 To sum the situation up the ad- is glad to wait that it may see if it may not accept the in vitation under conditions that will bring little or no criticism-for the administration hates criticism and will go a long way to avoid it.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Again great day falls on Sunday, Tomorrow will be the anniversary of the birth Of Lincoln, One does not have to be of especially imaginative mind to feel that it is particularly ft- ting that the anniversary of the birth Of this man should be thus touched with the solemnity of the day observed ls sacred by Christian people.
 Well may there be soemnity in thought Of the life of this man. Memory Of his courage under dinl- cultics should give courage to all in times that are hard. Memory of his plain living, his early struggles against material wants and his struggles to achieve the good for which he aimed, should renew courage never to give up. Memory of his humor, often half wistfu. almost sad. should inspire courage to persevere cheerfully as long as life lasts. Memory of his sym pdLny TOT ana understanding or tne ordinary men and women of the world one of whom he was except for the qualities of of mind and strength which were his. should make him an example to follow which in tho ordinary affairs of life s not beyond the reach Of any man or any woman.
 And, finally the broad vision of Abraham Lincoln should be an in- spiration to the leaders of our land to conduct the affairs of this country in the light of vision broad enough to overlook petty obstacles or personal pride and partisanship that the great, splendid position destined for this land of ours may be reached.

THE, TREATIES

It is inconceivable that the Senate of the United States. if there was any honesty in the aspirations which prompted support of the calling of the Washington conference. should re- fuse to ratify the seven treaties pre- sented yesterday to it.
 These treaties represent the idea of the conference There are no articles or "provisions" specifically denounced as involving obligation on the part of the United States to send troops to the aid of other nations-to send our boys across the water to fight battles not their own"
 The main objection to the treaties Is that the good they will do rests in a great measure on the good faith of nations. In other words the criti- cism is that they have not teeth" The fault, therefore, if there is a fault, is in their lack of strength.
 Men who favored the entrance bl' the United States into the League of Nations--and there are more such persons than was disclosed by the vote at the last presidential election--will certainly favor a ratification of tffse treaties.
 Men who recognize the sentiment of the people of the United States who would have favored entrance into the League of Nations had it not been for the much discussed Article Ten. will favor ratification of these treaties.
 Men who did not favor the entrance of Nations, but who have had time to consider the matter and to study the narrowness of those who believe the United States can exist as the participa tion in world affairs, will favor the ratification of these treaties.

 Voters in the first ward must hay, gasped when they received a letter this week from Councilman Hart, wht is anxious to learn their mindb on tho salary question. Such ld-fashioned contact and intimacy between office. holders and electors was thought tc be a thing of the past. Fortunately the practice has not been forgotten entirely, and 1t would be much more pleasant If other members of the gov ernment were 10 adopt the same plan occasionally and get in touch with the people they represent.
 Time was when office holders deemed it their duty to discuss public questions with their constituents True. many of them waited until the last minute and, In case of federal po- sitions. went home just before cleo ton to mend .their fences' and talk things over with the folks. Office holders who still believe that they rep resent the people are discovered even at this late date, but they are few and far between. It is more often the case that the man with a political po- sition is scarcely conscious of occupy ing his post by the grace of the public. Perhaps we would all do the same un- der similar circumstances, and forget that our opinions and decisions should reflect those whom we represent.
 Councilman Hart is the father of a movement to bring about a ten per cent. reduction in all city salaries. He has been criticized for his attitude and he has decided to learn whether the voters Of the first ward, who electe1 him, approve of his activity. A long explanation of his viewpoint has been sent to each voter, male and female, in the ward with the request that he or she explain whether the council mans move to cut salaries has met with approval. Sufficient space is left on the blank for the voter to write lengthy explanation. It is said that Hart has received a large number of replies. But as we said at

 The endorsement of George A. Qulgley by ex-servie~fnsn recalls An editorial which was printed in The Herald during MT.

At that time Mr. Quigley was insetws mental in trying to put a reseiution through the council by which 11,oso would be appropriated to send to oos- ton soidierx who had been retuvnsd home incapacitAted. the purpoae of the trip being to greet New BEitAin fighting men who were coming from foreign battlefelds on the steamship "Agamemnon." There was oppo6- stion to the resolution in the council as several members were of the belief that the mayor was trying to make capital out of a patr1etic event. The resolution lacked . suf1ctent number of votes to pass, and there was con- siderable indignation throughout tho city.
 The following day The Herald print ed the editorial referred to above. 1t was headed "Pikers," and in 1t were the names of the council members who voted against the resolution. It was said that several whose names were mentioned consulted lawyers within the course Of few hours with the purpose of suing The Herald for libel.
