Editor Times-In recent issue OF
The Times, a certain Mr.. Updike
indirectly gave me slight spanking
for:
1. Complaining about the ice men
who start serenading the streets at
6 in the morning.
2. Being somewhat Of a lazy
scoundrel that doesn't get up at 6
a. m. and catch worms. He says,
HE should be up at a. m, as 1t
is. none too early for any one"
Well, I agree with Mr.. Updike
that 6 a. m. is none too early for
any one. But which one Of US
doesn't have little weakness7 You
see, the factory whistle doesn't blow
for me until 8, and you'd be sur
prised how much enjoyment 1 get
out Of that one koE from 6 to z.

Great in Commerce

NNE-THIRD of the American
~ people dwell in states border
ing the Great Lakes.
The second, fourth and sixth larg
est cities in this country are located
on the Great Lakes, not to mention
Buffalo, Milwaukee and Toledo,
which hardly can be rated as un-
important. especially since Buffalo
and Toledo are among our eight
greatest ports.
About three times as much ton
mage passes through the Detroit
river and Sault ste. Marie each year
as through either the Panama or
Suez canal.
1t is doubtful whether any equal
area Of water on earth carries as
much commerce as the Great Lakes.

A writer declares, 1--WE talk too much We see
too much. We listen too much. We rush about too
much" And you will agree there is much to that
statement.

1t MGy Seem Strange, bit
Oar Greatest Coast Line Is
That of the Great Lakes.
THE United States has four
Il coasts-one on the Atlantic, one
on the Pacific, one on the Gull Of
Mexico, and one on the Great
Lakes.
OF all four, that on the Great
Lakes is the longest, which viii sur
prise some folks.
The fact that we have called
them "lakeS" seems to have made
a deeper impression thar the fact
that we have called them great"
a good illustration OF the effective
ness Of nouns, compared 70 that of
adjectives.
Rare is the visitor from other
parts of this country who beholds
one of the Great Lakes for the first
time, without expressing astonish-
ment that he can not see across it

have been reading in the papers
about law violations and I can't
see why our police don't know
what is going on, when everyone else
does. They do, but they have eyes
and don't see and ears and don't
hear.
If they would stay out of these
dives themselves and stay on the
outside and not accept pay not to
see, our city would not be wide open.
You can tell them of these things
and you will not even see them near
the places. They are no better than
the rest Of the law violators.
I have seen them drunk on the
streets many times. They make 1t
to the place where they stay from
the time they come on duty until
time to call in. Very often I have
seen that they get drunk and have
to be put to bed and sometimes
someone else calls in for them.
They do not know where every
place is that's not right, but what
do they care? Then, another thing.
If white men did not bring white
women to the hell holes. maybe the
colored men would not be caught
riding with them, and they are not
the poorest of people either. Then
when the men are somewhere else,
the same women keep these takes
busy bringing and carrying them
day and night.
Yes, there is plenty going on in
indianapolis by white and colored
and the police are not trying to stop
it. You never see one on his beat out
here unless he has had a lacking up
downtown. Then they pick up some
one to make it appear that he is do
ing something. Then he goes back to
his dive and we know just where
he is.
You do just as much good telling
the police on duty as to call down
town. We know that, too. The whole
bunch is rotten. There are men here
in town who have committed crimes
and they don't bother them either.
But good people don't get any
thanks for telling about these things.

 MT. Pulver was appointed execu- tor to serve without bond. A pe- tition was filed asking that letters of administration be issued to him, and it will be heard next Wednes- day when the will will be formally read.
 Other Requests
 Mrs. Gertrude Thompson, we'll known colored woman who aided in caring for MT. Valentine for the past two or three years, was one Of the principal remaining beneficiaries under the will. To her MT.

In the event of her marriage this al- lowance would automatically cease.
 To his brother, Julian Valentine, besides the sum of $l willed out right, MT. Valentine left the sum of $15 to be paid monthly as long as he lives, by the executor. Other relatives receiving the sum of $l each, were: a sister, Mrs. Lucia Thomas, and her sons Stanley and Shirley, of Dunlap, Iowa; Fred M. Tanner, Skagway, Jessie Tanner Greive and Maud Shutzman, sis ters of his deceased sister, Mrs. J. M. Tanner; his sister, Mrs. Etta Valentine Parenteau, of Denver and each of her sons, Roger and Lyle.

 In leaving his estate to MT. Pull yer, MT. Valentine said in his will:
 q give and bequeath the resi- due of the estate of which I shall die possessed, consisting of real and personal property, sums and ac- counts owed me on open accounts, notes whether the same is secured by mortgage or not, choses in ac- stion, and all and every kind of Property of whatever kind or na- ture owned by me at the time of my death, to my loyal and faith full friend, Ernest L. Pulver. of Ju- neau, Alaska"
 MT. Valentine then directed MT Pulver to make necessary provision for paying SIS monthly to his brother, Julian Valentine, in the event that Pulver's death should precede that of the former.
 MT. Pulver is also empowered "to sell any or all property, both per } sonal and real, belonging to my estate" without the formality of pe- titioning the court for an order for sale or requiring an order for said sale, or without furnishing bond for such sale.

DEAN INCE o. KS MARRIAGE VOWS
 WITH .WAY OUT''

LONDON, Sept. 1.-Two startling suggestions for new marriage sys- tenn are proposed by Dean Inge, Gloomy Dean'' of St. Paul's, in his new book, Christian Ethics and Modern Problems just published by Holder and Stoughton.
 One "a limited contract" would be for persons who do not recog- nize lifelong VOWS of fidelity and would be recognized by the state, and the other would be marriage in which the parties would take lifetime VOWS, recognized by the church.
 ExpiaIns Contracts
 The Dean says:
 Those invoking the blessing of the church will have understood that they have pledged themselves to lifelong fidelity and will have taken VOWS, which if broken, would prove most scandalous and dishon- orable.
 "If two persons wish to enter a limited contract which is under stood on both sides, think they have the right to claim that the state recognize their position as something better than concubinage.
 O.K.'s Birth Control
 The deans views on birth con- trol and divorce will shock many. On the subject of birth control, he says:
 T cannot approve the withhold ing of m e d teal knowledge from adults wishing to obtain it. No one who knows anything of human nature could suggest total abstin- ence as the solution to the prob- lem. It is likelier to wreck the happiness of married life"

SAY C. Q. P. MUST GO
 VET OR MEET DEFEAT

NEW YORK CITY, N. r., Sept. 18.-Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, foremost critic of the Republican Party in this state, has warned the party that unless the Republican delegates, at their state convention in Albany. September 25, take the same firm stand on prohibition that Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt took recently, the party will be beaten by half a million votes.
 Commenting directly upon MT. Roosevelt's announcement the presi- dent of Columbia University said that he hailed it with high pleasure and expressed the hope that strong men in both parties" would remove prohibition as an issue between the parties by advocating repeal.
 Former United States Senator James w. Wadsworth, wet leader, from his home in Genesee, said that unless the Republican Party stands for repeal it will be "courting de- feat" on election day.
 Asked if he thought the Republi- cans could defeat MT. Roosevelt If they definitely went on record as wet, MT. Wadsworth replied:
 T do"
 Of the governors statement, he said that it has won him the ad- miration of many citizens. He add ed that the opinions expressed therein did not come as surprise since he felt all along that that would be MT. Roosevelt's prohibi- tion attitude.
