Election Of Justices

MICHIGAN in recent years has been working toward
wi partisan judiciary. Such tendency IN the
matter as has to general attention has seemed
sound If the tendency is to be furthered 1t Is TOR the
citizens at the elections to advance the idea.
At the last election experience was had IN the
matter of filling judicial offices from nonpartisan
ticket So far as heard, objection has arisen be-
cause of that trial of the matter The way must
be judged wei esteemed
As the matter stands, the parties still make nomi-
nations to the judicial offices but, the ballot the
judicial nominees for the positions have place to them
selves out from under the party emblems If the people
of Michigan at the coming election make good use OF
the nonpartisan idea in respect to the judiciary way
will be found express the tendency fully apart
from the parties
TWO of the present justices candidates for re-
l election. These are Justices Bushnell and Sharpe.
There could be popular support of the non
partisan Judiciary than to re-eect these two men
The two Justices nominated by the Democratic
Party of the state There no other way to place
them before the PUBLIC but, IN the judgment OF The
State Journal which has regarded the services OF the
two justices during the eight years they have served
they have been justices IN every sense OF the word and
not parsans Inquiry develops the view that they have
grown with experience.

TO THE EDITOR:
OUR family here in Saginaw
" has taken your daily Times
for a long time.
Detroit is looked upon as the
foremost city of our state and
am sure the people through
the entire state are ashamed OF
the councilmen that have stopped
so low as to accept a bride on
a government housing program.
- In my estimation, those that
have accepted money can be
claSSed as traitors to our state
and TO our country
1t doesn't make any difference
if they got 81 a day. or $50 a
day salary. they took the job to
represent the people. and they
destroyed the peoples trust and
sold out.
They should be branded COM

TO THE EDITOR:

IT is hard to have TO stand by
i and see either ones family or
ones country grievously injured
by the wrongful acts of one OF
its members.
Not so long ago the United
States threatened Germany re-
garding the Monroe Doctrine
but nothing is now said about
the Monroe Doctrine since the
administration itself has repudl-
ated it,. Somebody pointed out
that the Monroe Doctrine clearly
contains the co-relative provl-
sion that the United States
should keep out OF European
affairs.
Later cash and carry-then
lend-lease. | do not know how
Germany feels toward us for slip
ping guns and war materials to
its enemies. | do know how |
would feel if a neighbor handed
a loaded gun to my enemy dur
ing a fight with me.
And now seizure Of German
and Italian boats. OF course, no
sabotage was contemplated
while the boats were safely IN
harbor. but only in the event oil
inevitable seizure. Hence
sabotage is no Justification for
the seizure. Actually it was a
kind of robbery with Our eetn--
try as the thief
The serious thing IS that
things like these always have a
way of kicking back at The
wronedeer- which will involve
all of us. England robbed Ger
many of much of her land and
all of her colonies not so long
ago, and all the Englishmen |
have talked TO now wish that
their country had played the
game square.

Spots of Pate de Fois Gras
Herald Happy Days for I94I
BY DAMON RtNf0N

MIR. PHIL COOPER. a cleaner
AA and dyer of Edgewater, y.
J.. claims that he can tell
whether good times or bad are
ahead by the spots on the
clothes that come to his estab-
lishment for cleaning He as
serts that his spot barometer
informs him that 1871 is going
to he a good year because the
spots indicate that people are
going in more for luXurles than
for some time past.
He says for instance children s
clothes are coming in with more
candy spots on them than usual
which he thinks argues that
parents are becoming more IN
dulgent.
His theory is that indulgence
is a forerunner of good times.
He is finding more champagne
and perfume spots on the gar
mentS of ladies and gents and
ne figures that the eXtrava-
gance of these liquids is the best
Roger BabSon of them all IN
showing that happy days are,
or will be. here again.
He further claims and here
we fear Mr. Cooper overreaches
himself-that gravy spots on
vests and dresses have been
stHiPfelahted great extent
hy what he calls the more deli
cate pate de foie eras spots.
which he says would seem to
show that people are cultiVating
more expensive tastes in food
Maybe il would if the spots
were genuine unaduherated
Strasbourg pate de foie gras
spots. which we are inclined to
doubt
WE are assured by our minister
w of Strasbourg pate de foie
graS. Mr.. Lucius Beebe that
there is not enough genuine
Strasbourg pate left in this
country TO make a good sized
spot and that even if there
was. il is inconceivable that
any of the supply would have
.percolated to Edgewater, n j..
We will take Mr.. Beebe on gem
uine StraSbourg pate against any
other man in the United States
and give you SIX points handi-
cap.
OF course. il is possible that
there is some imitation pate de
fOie gras on the market. or
perhaps a local version, which
leaves its Sullying influence on
iabotS. basques and gabardines.
But we are willing TO wager
that the spots would not fool an
expert on the genuine Stras-
bourg pate. like Mr. Beebe
The genuine furnishes in a
peculiar fashion unlike any
other substance We Just wish
we had one of Mr. Beebe's last
years dickeys here TO show you.
The nearest approach 10 IL is
the good old American chopped
chicken livers. This produces
spots of a slightly rectangular
/ shape, vaguely resembling those
of the genuine Strasbourg pate
de foie graS. only the chopped
chicken livcrS cover more-derri-
tory
Nor does 1t always follow a
set design On the serviette we
had tucked in our collar in
Hirdy'~ the time We ate
chopped chicken 'liverS there.
some square spots were dis
closed though this was con-
Sidered pretty much of a freak
happenstance.

came. over the NIL 10 carry OIL
skins and ladies. an early hairy
village Hampden may have ub-
dubbed somewhat. as follows:
THAT big bum can get away
with that iust so tong Hs pHCh of
US does his own hunting and has
to go to work every day. But he
can't II we gang up on him.
Let's leave some of us, turn-and-
turn-about. to take care of him
while we go about our business
in peace"
We don't know whether that
was the way il was argued But
that is the way it happened.
II laid the foundation of civ
ilizatiOn. 1t made states and
governments possible-the orig
inal social compact"
1t conferred great benefits,
but it also imposed a great re-
sponsibility. For how could any
early Piltdowner live under the
peace of that pact for years and
then on the single day that the
hoStiles came over the hill not
do his trick at guard duty?
THAT is the principle of the
Il selectiye draft. 1t is almost
impossible to apply il to labor.
Under the true theory of con-
Scription no man is either taken
or deferred from military serv-
ice on any theory that il is TO
his advantage.
The whole idea in modern
war Is that those are taken who
can best serve the national in
terest by marching with the col
orS and those are deferred who
can contribute better by remain
ing on their civilian iobs-elther
because that best supports de-
pendent people or best serves
the interest of wartime produc-
ton
The rub comes when man
who is deferred because he is
said to be an essential man in
an industry essential to de-
Tense" refuses to work at that
JOB because he doesn't like the
pay he is getting. lie forgets
that he is Getting many times
a. much as his soldier brother
and that if the soldier struck y
on his Job he would either GO
TO a penitentiary or face a fir
ing squad.
THE- truth is that the prob
L lem on the labor front is less
grave than really appears.
The great majority Of workers
arc not SlackerS. Yet the strike
record is alarming.
Man days lost on army con-
tracts alone mot including navy
and maritime commission were:
January 10000. February,
469 600: a little more than three
weeks in March. $4,000 total.
11290O0.
That was bad enough. but il
doesn't tell the whole story.
Many of these strikes were al
key points. where stoppages Of
production of component ma
terials really delayed final out
put by multiples Of 100000
man days.
TIIE consistency about these
Il StoppageS at weak links in

Vote Against
The Gas Proposal

livery sincere proponent Of municipal ownership
L should be concerned the proposed purchase Of
the Michigan Consolidated Gas Company by the City of
Detroit
The principle Of municipal ownership be helped
or hndered by decision of the this PROPOSE
ton next Monday
Nothing helps the municipal ownership cause more
than a successfully operated municipal utility
Nothing binders it more than an unsuccessfuly
operated municipal utility.
This newspaper always has staunchly advocated
municipal ownership when it is practical and workable
Ae4rererr-Dphen- purchase
posal was preached eight weeks ago that sometimes
community can't afford municipal ownership; that if it
imposes great burden the people or operates
inefcenty it to be civic asset
We expressed doubt also that such momentous
question should be rushed to such an early vote
THIS newspaper feels strongly than that
the voters have not been given sufficient time 10
study and understand all the pros and of
the proposal. Sincere effort has been made at the
several Town Hall discussions to clarity it but there
simply has been time enough to weigh and examine
its various merits and defects

CPoNSoRS Of the purchase proposal say the gas com

Opponents deny IT. They point out the gas COM
panv must compete with electric power and coal and
fuel oil in addition to working in the highly competitive
field of retail fixtures and appliances.
Therefore should the City at this time go into the
gas business
The Detroit Times thinks it should not for three
reasons.
One reason is the highly competitive nature of the
business itself.
The second is that insufficient time has been given
for study
The third reason is that the City Council should
thoroughly clear itself the scandaous Herman Gardens
housing graft charges before presuming to take over
such an expensive and complicated and important project
as the gas company

air is cooler than that surrounding
the ducts. Insulation acts as bar
rier between the two extremes of
temperature.
Third, insulation is a sound-ob-
sorbing material, which tends to re-
duce the mechanical sounds which
might otherwise be transmitted from
furnace through registers into your
living rooms. 1t won't eliminate all
the noise but will reduce definitely
what is known as the loudness
level of the room which the ducts
serve.
Duct insulation, which can be ap-
piled to round. rectangular or irreg-
ular duct shapes, is on the market.
1t is easy to apply by means of
special adhesive, which is brushed
on the duct, against which the felt
like material is pressed in place. A
protective tape glued to joints makes
tight. neat job. The insulation is
made of asbestos. which is fireproof,
and has a reinforced outer surface
that can take plenty of abuse and
hard usage. 1t comes in roll So
inches wide, each roll containing a
hundred square feet. 1t is not neces-
sary to paint the insulation, but you
can do so If you wish. It takes
