conditions. They were game
gentlemen, within reasonable
limits, and refused the proffered
gold.
A while ago the Detroit Times
circulation had risen from
$4,000, which it had when pur-
chased last fall, to 100000.
Then something happeneA eA-the
trio decided that gameness is
not a business and the Detroit
Journal was sold to the Detroit
News. A special blessing is
now invoked upon the head of
the Detroit News, a fine old
paper.
The end of the story comes
In the circulation figures that
Nose Annenberg sends from De-
troit. The circulation of the
Detroit Times yesterday was
10000. And, as Annenberg
justly remarks in his telegram,
Palntam qui merutt ferat. It's
his family motto.
. The prominent merchants of
Detroit are reminded that this
writer assured them last fall
that the number of Detroit eve
hing papers would be cut down
soon from three to two. 1t has
been cut down and it was done
very soon. The disappearance
of the Detroit Journal recalls .
line from a very sad poem:
"She liDed apart, and few
ntight knoto Uhen Lucy ceased to
BE-"
One thing is definite: Lucy's
circulation can be located in the
office of the Detroit Times.
A young lady of the stage,
who had expected to marry the
son of a rich, well-known man,
sees her plans blighted, and
says of the young man, He
is easily led, .easily influenced,
and is a typical rich mans son."
There the. young lady said
great deal about what wealth
unearned, plus flattery and self
indulgence, will do for boys.
It's Carnegie's story of the
old deerhound that caught deer
and put them in big enclos-
ure, that his puppies might get
their venison easily.
The puppies had plenty of
meat, and they all died of the
mango.
United States negro troops are
sent to Texas, a special train
load, to act as police among the
striking railroad men. There
ought TO be no race prejudice,
but there is race prejudice. The
sending of those men is unwise,
unjust to the negro troops, cal
cuiated to breed more race
hatred hereafter, and everybody
concerned ought to know it.
The first test of the Ku Klux
Klan's political power, in Texas,
shows real power. The man
with the Klan's backing for
governor leads. That makes the
sending of black troops to Texas
still more unwise.
According to the chief medical
examiner in New York State, the
deaths caused by alcohol are 80
ner cent above 1920, 20 per cent
above 1921 thus far. The whiskey
sold is even more poisonous
than it was before prohibition.
It kills quickly, instead of slowly.
Hundreds are dying, thousands
will die later, including those
chat drink whiskey "colored
and Favored with iodine"
A first-class investment in the
limited States today is stock in a
GOOD cemetery company.
Tn the largest type that he
ever uses. Frank Munsey says:
"To be quoted, you must be great
ar YOU must be interesting-or
YOU must be both"
You need not be either.
The important thing is to be
unusual. Balaam's ass, neither
great nor interesting, is quoted
frequently. Luther Boldly,
voung negro, who shot and
kilIed two detectives, is wait
ING to be electrocuted, and
meanwhile says: 81 am going
to read all the books l can"
Boldly reads only fiction.
And the prison head allows him
only "good" fiction. He can
have "Ivanhoe," but cannot
read "Snarleyow, the Dog
friend" How carefully civili-
zation guards the mind, morals,
ond reading matter of a gen.
tleman AFTER he gets into
the death house, and how little
attention that civilization pays
20 such things at earlier stages.
A. man in a closed garage
left his engine running until
II exhausted its oxygen. The
man died. On smaller scale
the same thing happens when
human beings sleep in a room
With the windows closed. They
also exhaust the oxygen and
