Because OF the line OF witnesses
outside the grand jury room, Lam
sing is quivering with rumors that
Judge Leland w. Carr. who is con-
Quoting the investigation, will soon
produce indictments that will rock
all Michigan.
"Our best work has been done
In recent weeks" Judge Carr
said indicating that the arrests
so far are trivial compared to
his newest discoveries.
Mai Hemans and Hamilton are
disclosed to be principal figures in
the inquiry through a document
filed with the county clerk by
Judge Carr granting immunity to
the former councilman and former
legislator.
This record shows that Atty.
Gen. Herbert j. Rushton asked
immunity for Hamilton on grounds
that his answers to three ques-
tons might tend to incriminate
him"
VITAL QIESlIONS
As set forth in the document,
these questions were:
1-Mr. Hamilton. you may
l. state whether you were
ever promised any money or
anything of value in the House
of Representatives during the
session of 1889.
Did you agree with Hemans
- or anybody else TO support
certain legislation pending in
the House of Representatives
during fhe session of 1889 for a
consideration of money or any
thing of value?

Editorial

Let us give thought to the
significance of the day and
it's celebration.
Thanksgiving Day was a
day devoted and consecrated
by our fathers to the devout
expression of gratitude to
God.
What had our Pilgrim
fathers to be thankful for?
They were alone in a cold,
bleak land.
They had difficulty in
securing enough food to sus-
tain them.
They were subjected TO
many deprivations and hard
ships.
They were surrounded by
strange and often unfriendly
savage tribes.
But they WERE thankful
ID e e p i y, sincerely, in
tenseiy thankful
For what?
BECAUSE they were free.
- Free from the antagon-
isms and injustices of the
Old World they had left be-
hind them.
Free from Europe's abiding
hatreds and constant wars.
Free from European bigO-
try and persecution.
Free from Europe's oppres-
sion and RECOMMENDATION.
Free from Europe's corrupt
rule by autocracy and
bureaucracy.
Our fOrefathers cheerfully
suffered any privation to be
fully free from Europe and
It's Inherent and interminable
list of evils.
In the midst of the troubles
and trials they encountered
IN tfrrir new faHt and new
life, they assembled and gave
profound and heartfelt
thanks To God for FREE
DOM-for liberation from the
unalterable and intoIerable
inpsiices of the Old World.
NTHEN we of today are
w concentrating this day
of Thanksgiving, which our
forefathers reverently in
augurated, let Us not forget
the SPIRIT in which--and
for the perpetuation of which
this great and typical
American holiday was
founded.
Let us remember WHY
our fathers were thankful.
Let Us be deeply grateful
toy the American 'ifNtrties
they bravcd The periis OF ans
new land to win for them
selveS-and which they be
queathed to us.
Let us never willingly sur
render or jeopardize our free
dom and our independence
never consent TO reassume
the burdens and reincur the
woes from which our fathers
delivered us.
Let uS never return t.
European evil practices and
base detectives.
Let US never restore the
yoke of autocratic oppression
To our own necks or team
ourselves in any way with
Old World tyranny.

who has not a spark of romance in
her and a woman who's never been
in love. Oh, how wrong they are
though. Our heroine of this story
revealed a few weeks ago to some
of her friends the real intimate
story of her life. 1t seems as if
years ago when in her twenties she
was engaged to a young, brilliant
and handsome chemist who went to
school here but whose home was in
the East. Their wedding date was
set, preacher selected, wedding and
bridal inery purchased, in fact
everything seemed to be perfect
until the tragedy which ruined our
heroine's life occurred.
The young bridegrOOm-tO-be two
weeks before his wedding dashed
out to his home in the East to clear
up a few business matters. While
at home, he spent quite few spare
hours in his homemade laboratory
where he loved to try out new ex-
Periments with various chemicals.
One evening while working in his
laboratory, evidently something
went wrong indeed, for a terrific
explosion destroyed everything in
the laboratory killing our young
bridegrOOm-tO-be, and disfguring
his body beyond recognition. Our
heroine of this story never really
recovered from this tragedy. She
admitted recently though, that
every year about this time on the
anniversary of the date on which
she was to marry, she still tries on
her wedding veil and gown and
sheds many a tear while she remi-
nisces over the life she might have
had. "a true but very sOrrowful
tale, isn't it?)
Well, friends, I'll really have to
be on my way, but I'll be SEEM you
again soon.

j. NJ. H: have been a reader of
your column for a long time and l
have so much faith in them. Would
you please tell me if my husband
is just angry at his whole family
or is he so in love with this other
woman that he just can't be pleas
ant at home?
Ans: Your husband is not get
ting the attention and comfort at
home that he thinks he deserves and
by gOlly he intends to stay mean
until he does get little more con-
sideratiOn. What he needs is a
pleasanter home environment to
come home to. It's partly your fault
my good woman. A wife's job is
a big one she has to be wife,
nursemaid, pal sweetheart and
business partner to a man. Some
where along the line you failed him.
Put your finger on the spot and his
abuse will turn to affection. 1t
should be worth trying.
C. A. T.: For the past three
years I have been going with a gen.
tleman who is Sc and I am %. ]
am a high school graduate. I am
considered a rather quiet type of
person, not a "jiver" at all. 1 love
this man and prize each moment
I'm in his presence. We have about
the same outlook on life and agree
on about the same things. I really
love him. Not from a financial
standpoint, because he is considered
wealthy. Should I continue this
courtship or consider someone else
Ans: There are many angles t.
be considered in a matrimonial ven
ture such as you contemplate. FRS
of all, there is 80 years difference
in your ages. If you marry ana
bear children, it is very probable
that the father will not live to sc,
them grown. 1t will fall your lot Il
support them. Furthermore, tn,
next ten or fifteen years are tn
best years of your life, are you will
ing to share them with an old man
Remember, when you're 40 and still
a young woman he'll be 70. L
anything should happen and he los
his money, and his health, wOulG
you still want him? If there's an
doubt in your mind you had bette
call this whole thing off before il
goes any further.
E. W. B.: I am sick. went tc
a doctor and he says 1 have beer
treated wrong for my case. He says
need the fluid drawn from my
lungs. Should I go to the hospita
or what must I do?
