Future Depends on Good Congress

The chief business of our people is to get done
with the war and erect structure of peace on the
solid foundation of truth, honor and Justice.
Enough has already been brought out to put
every responsible citizen warning that the clock
of American civilization, regulated by the pendulum
of liberty, is in danger of being stopped.
The firm way in which Congress has refused
to be rushed off It's feet and the intelligent fashion
in which it is getting at the facts further warn
ing to responsible citizens that their future depends
upon the integrity of the Congress and its ability
to function as legislative body amid the ever.
growing pressure that IS being brought upon 1t by
those who are wrapping themselves in the Stars
and Stripes for the purpose of destroying all that
the flag stands for.

MICHIGAN COUNTIES need
q remodeling of their machinery
Of government just as much as
does the state, was the decision
of Mrs. w. H. Porter and Mrs.
Paul f.cKee, Yesterday at the
meeting Of the League Of Women
Voters.
After q study Of the two
branches Of government they
quoted the authorities they had
studied in making the points
that the present county govern
ment is the most expensive for
the work done; that there is no
head man responsible for the
county work; that the board of
supervisors can xercise control
only through budget = managing
and salaries; that Mount Glenn
ems pays an unequal share Of the
county tax and there should be
reallocation of the burden.
The description of the stage
coach" type of state government
in Michigan was :iven by Mrs.
Porter in developing the pro-
grams title, "Streamlining Our
Govern ment." She pointed out
the weakness of our legislature
in having too many members;
too many committees; and the
fact that there is lack of cooper
alton between the legislature
and the governor. She recon-
mended strengthening by reduc-
ing members; increasing pay to
improve quality; longer term OF

ILL. GENERAL ASSEMBLY
CHOOSES SIMMONS FOR
LINCOLN DAY ADDRESS

CHICAGO, Feb. 8 (ANP)-Dem-
ocrats and Republicans in both
houses, in joint resolution, asked
Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, sill
ver-tongued orator, to deliver the
address Feb. IL commemorating
the 136th anniversary of the birth
of Abraham Lincoln.
Since the Illinois celebration of
the birth of Lincoln is official, and
is held in Lincoln's home town, al
most in the shadow Of his tomb, it
thus takes precedence over all other
memorials to his honor. The COM
memoration will be attended by the
governor and his cabinet and other
distinguished people of the state and
nation.
The resolution inviting Col. Sim
mons to do the honors was led by
Rep. Charles Jenkins, and Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in both houses
joined hands on the idea. Simmon
is the first man so honored by the
general assembly, and although the
lifelong Republican and Lincoln
disciple has been the recipient of
many an honor this one, he said,
