A MICHIGAN Problem.
From the Ann Arbor News.

Senate action at Lansing appears to
have destroyed all hope of dog racing
in Michigan during this legislative ses-
sion, at least. But of course the Gov
ernor could call special session to han
die such an important problem.

REMEMBER THE DAY. BY Kenneth
Koran. New York: Doubleday,
Doran & Co.
Family life in Michigan back in the
days when Mckinley and Roosevelt were
administering the affairs of the Ma
ton is the subject of the collection of
memories herein recorded by a gay
hammered writer whose photograph on
the back jacket cover gives evidence
that she Is as engaging in person as
she is in print Though she bears
masculine name she states that she
possesses the feelings Of woman, says
that she has perfectly gorgeous time
because her garden-in which she does
all the works fairly successful and
because she is SO busy reading and re-
viewing books, giving lectures and writ
ing stories. She has been a newspaper
woman, has edited poetry anthology,
written two books for children and two
long novels, one of which became
screen success.
Remembering the outstanding events
which in childhood emphasized the
dramatic. the near-tragic and the comic
crises of family life will ever be a
source OF pleasure in the adult years
that follow. And it is the memories
OF such occasions in the ODonnel family
that Kenneth Horan recalls in this COL
lection of stories. Her father owned
several newspapers in Michigan, was
a stanch Republican and leader of his
party in his State and was designated
by all comers as Governor.
AS party leader and speechmaker,
Pappa received all the political and
other notables who visited Michigan
and he and Mamma necessarily en-
gagged in an almost ceaseless round
of entertainment. There was seldom
a time when the house was minus
guests, and these are stories about the
occasions when President Mckinley, Will
liam Jennings Bryan Andrew Carnegie,
Lyman Abbott, Jane Adams, Henry
Ford, Sarah Bernhardt, 10 jefferson,
Richard Mansfield, Uncle Joe Cannon,
John Philip Sousa and host of other
notables touched the family life of the
ODonnells. with the two little girls, the
author and her pretty sister Kathie, as
animated and oftentimes inquistive
participants.
Mrs. Horan tells the stories as she
remembers them, and her memory is
hCCIl anu dCN VI dlt. OIlC ltIileulUeIS HOW
Mamma looked and how she handled the
important post of being hostess for her
prominent husband. She remembers the
family jitters attendant upon the prob
lem of providing bath for Miss Jane
Adams in the newly painted mahogany
bathtub. She remembers Pappa's beau
tiful speech introducing President Nc
Kinley, and also the occasion of William
Jennings Bryan's Gross of Gold" speech,
which brought tears to Pappas eyes and
drew from him the comment: Hes all
wrong, but can't he talk?" She re-
members that Republicans were dis
tinguished from Democrats by whether
or not Papa shook hands with them.
Mrs. Flynn, the cook; Cot, trusty
from the penitentiary who acted as
coachman; Madamoiselle, tutor and
caretaker of the children. and numerous
neighbors are part Of these adven-
lures of childhood in Michigan home,
recounted from a childs point of view
and told with the brisk humor and
vivacity that is characteristic of a
good story teller possessed of an Irish
heritage.

It's not sanitary.

The cruel old thing
From joys will immure us.

royalty investment had a personal inter-
est which entitled them to six and one
half barrels out of every 100 barrels of
oil produced. The officials made more
money from their royalties, i'm many in-
stances, than from salaries and divi-
bends from their companies.
Finally there grew up abuses so that
many OF the Standard companies forbade
their Officials from owning royalties lest
they show favOritism on leases where
they had this interest, to the neglect Of
the general program of the company.
Meantime, bankers had come into reaIi-
zatiOn of the true facts of the gains of
the owners OF oil lands. They, for a
time, formed the principal clientele of
any landowner who wanted to realize
money, from the sale of part or all of
their rights. None else would buy since
a man win not invest his money I'm some
thing he never heard of.
The papers would carry articles and
pictures of poor men who were made
rich over night and the public conclud-
ed that they must have bought oil shares:
actually they were landowners. Very
Few knew the meaning of the word troy
atty, as applied to the oil industry. It
is safe guess that there are TODAY
i'm the United States q HUNDRED MIL
LION PEOPLE who do not know the
meaning of the term toll ROYALTIES
That may seem like an impossibiIity, but
to our personal knowledge there are mill
lions of people living in the cities who
don't know the meaning of the words
section, "tOWnsfte' and s'range's and
therefore would have no possible con-
cGption of the form or term of a royal
ty assignment.
We used to speak Of newcomers to our
organization as people who didn't know
whether a royalty is used to drill with
or to haul the tools out to the fields
We have made it n policy to start out
with that promise; that a new member
has absolutely no idea of royalties
and we are usually right His educa-
ton was therefore thorough.
Ii is easy enough to see that when so
few people now ANYTHING about roy
alties, that any newcomer to the ranks
or people appreciating royalties may be
welcomed by US with open arms. We
knew Mr.. ROwley as an "aginer"-if
anyone figure out that office jar
gOn. He is one who seemed to be against
everybody who was trying to get along
In the oil industry. As to Harry Sim
clair, John ID. Rockefeller and a few 9TH
ers, everything they did was holy but
the fellow who went out TO sell stock
to get a start in the oil business Or
worse still-the fellow who bought any
stock or made any other investment, out
side of properly blessed Wall Street is
sues, was not worthy of much recOg-
milton.
But 1t is very apparent that Mr.. Row
ley has been aware of what has been
going in royalties. He has seen the
investment possibilities of royalties even
though he has been living in the midst
of the MidcOntinent where there are
three buyers for every good royalty buy
