THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) PATRONS CONTINUE PROTEST Patrons of*the Richholt school are backing petitions addressed to the school board requesting that no change be made in the grade arrangements at that school. They ask that the seventh and eighth grades be retained at the Rich- holt<and William Moore and that two of the four teachers of seventh and eighth grades at the William Moore be trans- ferred to the Roosevelt school so that there might be estab- lished seventh and eighth grades in this school, thus giving each of the schools mentioned the same facilities. It was stated editorially in The Tribune when the board announced that all seventh and eighth grades would be grouped at the Will school, that a protest naturally would come from the patrons of the Richholt and William Moore schools. Such a protest is being expressed in no uncertain DETROIT Kresge Bldg. arck) Editorial Review Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. are presented here in ordet it our readers may have both sides of important issues which are fa discussed in the press of ne day. (Grand s Herald) A few days ago the New York Times editorially advised the elec- tion of Davis and Bryan as the best means of heading off a third party. aw letter to the editor John C. Brinsmade of Washington, | Conn., questions the soundness of the argument and urges that elec- tion of Coolidge and Dawes, writ- ing in part as follows: President Coolidge by his dresses and his record has ¢ i sympathetic with of the case of the He has the respect and confidence of a large portion of the labor and farmer class, and of the more moderately “raateai? element, as it: proved by his inti macy with sue Republicans as Borah, Kenyon and Capper and their loyal support of his candi- dacy, and also by the fact that even such men as Brookhart, Nor-; ris and Couzens infinitely prefer him to Davis. The very fact that in sipte of President Coolidge’s difference of opinion on important | issues with prominent party lead- ers, both radical and conservati he received a practcially unani- mous nomination for President with the cordial approval of most of such leaders, speaks volumes for the advantageous position | which he would occupy as C Executive by the direct mandate of the people. Mr. Davis, with all his attractive and high character, lacks ing which Mr. Coolidge has had from the exceptional ex- perience as executive and legisla- ve official, uninterrupted as it s been for the last quarter of aj terms and hundreds of school patrons and tax payers are ning the petitions just as 500 signed to have seventh and eighth grades at the Roosevelt which petitions have not been granted. Surely when taxpayers are willing to sign and make a formal request for seventh and eighth grades at the Roose- velt, Richholt and William Moore and what is more are will- ing to pay any additional charge, they should be given this school service. It is not fair or right that children from the outskirts should be forced to walk miles to school when they have school facilities at their very doors. Property owners have invested in homes with assurance of certain school facilities being available and now the board proposes to upset the whole scheme and please no one. Surely it is time for some of the school officials to heed the taxpayers requests. ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE? Danger! Perit! Whether or not the United States is to continue as a government by the majority, or decay into government by minority, will be determined by the ap- proaching election. There is nothing partisan about the movement to “Get Out the Vote.” It is quite separate from HOW they should vote. The goal is to preserve America as a government by majority rule. Back yonder in history, it was a rare man who falied to exerzise his power to ballot. About 50 years ago, a few began to neglect to vote, probably figuring that “My vote doesn’t count much among so many millions.” The number who failed to vote increased steadily until in the 1920 election over 25. million neglected to vote, com- pared with less than 27 millions who did vote. If this chronic half-century tendency continues, this year the nation will pass the danger line and become a govern- ment by a minority. Your vote can help ward that off. It can. It should. It must. % f The appeal to all voters to go to polls has such obvious prsuments that it’s a marvel the slacker-voters do not grasp em. = More is at state in the 1924 election than the question of candidates. Government by majority is at stake. In a series of editorials, The Tribune will show, by his- torical precedents, how one vote often determines the critical actions of legislative bodies, and how a few thou- sand individual votes by citizens can sway an entire national election. In a deadlock, one vote has the power of thousands of votes in elections where candidates run far apart. Three major parties are in the field this year. There is almost unlimited choice. for the voter. For once ,he has no ground for the shallow excuse that no candidate exists representing his indeas. Your vote is needed! fail! Vote without fail! Vote without RELIEF France, paying her people for war damages, has already handed over 24 billion frances. She has put her o. k. on dam- age claims- of 60 billion francs and expects the final total to be as high as 85 billions. The value of the franc has fluctuated so much there’s no way of estimating how much this amounts. to in American dollars. No one knows how much of the expenditure will be recovered from Germany in reparations. When the books are balanced a century from now, how- ever, Uncle Sam’s final war loss may not be far from the top. We also were “devastated” financially. into the billions.

A Republican Adminis- tration headed by Calvin Coolidge, with the progressive an liberal men who would be his immediate advisers and supporters. would be interested in and likely to bring into being the constructive meas- ures to relieve the “discontent” to which you refer. The LaFollette element is fully as distrustful of the Democratic as of the Republican Party. Granted that many of the rank and file Democrats would wish to pass “Liberal” legislation, 2 Dem- ocratic Congress, if that were pos- | sible, would be dominated byj Southern Congressmen, on account of the seniority rule. The leacing committees in both Senate and House would be controlled: by Southern members. It is no re- flection on these men, many of tthem of the highest character and ability, to say that the legislation which they would put through would not be so likely to satis?y ‘the desires of the “discontented” as that which Coolidge with a Re- publican Congress would pass. Assuming that you are right in your statement that “the Demo- cratic Party numbers within its tanks many more than the Repub- licans can pretend to of those rep- resenting the very kind of poli- tical material which Senator La- Follette hopes to draw to his sup- wport,” it does not follow that a Da- vis ana Bryan administration kWould prove a more constructive agent than one led by Coolidge and Dawes “in averting or weak- ening a disrupting and demoraliz- ing Third Party movement.” The logic of the situation seems to point to a Republican victory a3 offering the best hope of such remediable measures. as The Times says are necessary to head off “radiealism.” 1 am wondering what attitude The Times would| assume toward such general wel- fare agitation. * * * BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Pretty soon the Sand Man and the Twins came to the potato patch in Squeejick Land. The potatoes had grown to a tre- mendous size and their curiosity had brought them to the top of the ground which any farmer will tell you is no place for potatoes at all. Their eyes were wide open and they blinked and winked as the jtravelers came near, Indeed they had seen them far! away and had whispereg it to the | corn (which was all ears, you may be sure) and the corn had told the cabbage heads who sent word to the | Squeejick King by the scarlet run-/ ner, The Squeejick King sent back! word by his royal gardener for the | potatoes to keep. their eyes wide! n and to let him know if the| tors came any nearer. | “Why, hello there!” exclaimed the | ,Sand Man to the Twins. “These are fine potatoes, my dears!

Lerd) LETTER FROM JAMES CONDON TO SALLY ATHERTON ®Dear Sally: You'll be surprised, I know, to get a ietter from me, for until now I have scrupulously kept the vow I made to myself when I Teft you that mornifg at the train some months ago. : At that time I said to myself that with the exception of a bread and butter letter of the most conven- tional .kind I would never write to you or*see you again if I could help it. You pretty thoroughly _disillu- sioned me, Sally, for you showed me a woman whose heart is always led: by her head, and I do not like that kind of a woman. You did tell me one or two truths of which I shall speak later, however. —, I think I kept my vow. Indeed, I do not think I ever wrote you the note I was supposed to write thank-' ing you for your kindness to me whiJe in your city. At that, I am not sure you were very kind. You spent most of your time while I was there with John Prescott on the plea that he was your boss and you had some very important business with him, : Of course you’re not a young and inexperienced girl, Sally, but after I had gotten home I wondered if it would not have been better both for you and for me if I had told you something that your husband told me-once. It was apropos to one of our bosses being seen at dinner with his’ stenographer at a well-known cafe. “Jimmies,” he said, you're going to be a boss of some big business, and let old Sam give you, apiece of advice for you to remember at that time, When that day eames, never have any kind of flirtation or affair with any woman in your office. If you must have a stenographer on your personal staff, EVERETT TRUE take your friend’s stenographer, not your own, Taking a woman out of, your office always gets both you and the girl into trouble. “Don’t you see, you can’t diS- charge a woman for bad work or in- subordination in the office to whom you have spoken words of love, and if she is a crackerjack stenographer you have to keep her on although you have grown tired of*her as a sweetheart and it makes you sick to see her around. It works out all wrong both ways.” T’vé been wondering lately how it is with you, Sally: I hope you have had sense enough to have nipped any personal interest that John Prescott seemed to be showing you, ip the bud. I needn’t tell you at this Jate day that you are a very fase wan, Sally. You are always piquing a man’s curiosity. He wants to ex- plore both the recesses of your mind and heart—and you like it, Sally, you know you do. You lead him on. You make him think he is just about to solve the mystery, that unfath- omable feminine mystery which men have tried to solve since Eve, and which is still a mystery to them. I could see that John Prescott was exceedingly interested in you, and although you denied it to me, I could see you were exceedingly in- terested in him, for otherwise you would not have thrown me down to make engagements with him. Sally, I am sure your love of ad- venture will some time get you into trouble, and I expect what I am writing to you is getting me into trouble all right with you. You are wondering why I am writing you— why, after vowing I would never write again, I am going on in this strain. It is because I have a con- fession to make, and being very happy at the present moment my. self, I want you to be happy. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1924 ENTRANCING PERFUMES By Albert Apple Inymysterious Tibet, the rulers forbid the killing of the deer from which musk is taken. Tibet is a long way from here, but this ban will have its effect locally. For musk is ‘used in the manufacture of high-grade perfumes almost | without exception. | Trading has ended national isolation, for us and for all ‘other countries. A hunting law in Tibet, an earthquake kill- ing Japanese silkworms, a Brazilian revolt interfering with Nothing of importance can happen in any part of the world without af- fecting all other parts. 1 Tibet, like China, practices drastic penalties. Hunters who defy the ban and kill musk deer will have their hands chopped off and nailed to the doors of temples. They will not need many game wardens. Perfumery is probably the oldest of woman’s artificial [ jlures. The cave girl decorated her hair with sweet-smellin: jungle blossoms. Crafty orientals figured out how to e: |tract the powerful scent. They started the perfumery \industry. Perfumes have reached their highest development in the orient, where water is usually too scarce for frequent bath- ing. It was a problem of inventing perfumery or gas mask: to enable filthy people to get within’ speaking distance of éach other—and perfumes won. The first perfumes, after musk, were frankincense, myrrh and other dried gums obtained from trees in India and Africa. The trading of these scénts was one of the earliest forms of commerce. Perfumes and jewels and witchcraft tokens were trnsported by camel caravans over long and stifling deserts and in primitive frail boats over the stormy seas. i As transportation was developed, the traders began to carry other wares. But perfumery was one of the first, and the ‘history of this industry abounds with romantic ad- venture. Today the industry is “scientifice’—and correspondingly dull. Last year, for instance, 11 million pounds of rose petals were taken out of the Valley of Roses in Bugaria—and this stupendous amount yielded only 470 ounces of oil of roses. An ounce of oil of roses, of course, makes a vast quaritity of perfumery. New York, is being purified. Uniformed evangelists of the law have been assigned to various popu- lay shows to see that naughty words in .ggalistie plays and nude. scenes in the‘ living pictures of ‘revues are deleted, ¢ The only effect of this’ annual gesture, it seems, is to make more popular the shows under fire. One of the first~plays’ picked upon is a war story.
