Gov. VanWagoner States His Program
Independents Wb and LOSO
HU laattgral Spooch Makes a Goj»d Impression ane! It U Uo*»ttui ir Attempts To Block HU Program
Will Get Anywhere
Gov. Murray VanWagoner office last Wednesday and his augeral address seems to have
took in-
been well received all over the state.Even the Republican press praised it. The Detroit Free Press knocks those skeptics who wail that his program eellf for increased expenditure*, by classing them as people of faint heart and little faith who think be-cause a thing never has been done it cannot be done. Gov. VanWagoner expects to get $25,000,000 more revenue this year by increased tales taxes, due to more sales, and » more efficient means of collection.To that end he favors consolidating a number of departments and forming a tax collection dept
In his inaugeral speech *he governor promised to put the 80,000 people in Michigan who are entitled to old age pensions but who have been refused them for the past two years, because the governor and legislature were economy minded on the pension rolls. He made the same promise as to aid to crippled children who were also penalized as a economy move. These two promises in the name of mercy and humanity should be carried out and any legislator or bunch of legislators who endeavors to block them should have the light of pub-licit) turned on him or them.
In regard to school elections the governor would abolish the property owning qualification and let all citi Zens vote upon all matters. 'His reason for this is that the schools are no longer supported wholly by the property tax but the bulk of their revenue comes out ofthe sales tax which ali people contribute to. In this matter he has the backing of supt. of public instruction Gene Elliott who has long endorsed /this stand.
There seems to be one fly in the ointment and that is that the aged tiring governor, Luren Dickinson.He still continues to Attempt to keep in the spotlight. The last legislature did ndt confirm many of his appointments and others he failed to make. K< publican politicians wished him to rail a special session to get the appointments confirmed. As this would put ithe matter squarely up to him he refused but instead passed the buck to the new legislature by sending in a list of 58 names for appointment There is doubt as to the legality of this action. In a similar case the supreme court has ruled such action by a retiring governor unconstitutional. Gov. VanWagoner likewise sent in }us appointments. Attorney General Roihton who owes his nomination to Dickinson has ruled thai no appointments can take office until eon-firmed by the senate. Heretofore they have taken office when they received their commission. This patronage row is a petty matter and it should be .shelved in favor of more serious matters confronting the legislators.
Gov. VanWagoner's appointment of George Burke of Ann Arbor, former Governor Grosbeck and John Beukoma of Muskegeon to the civil service commission apparently meets with eneral satisfaction.

However their star player was Pulkerson who scored ]S points most of them on long ghOts from the center of the floor. No Pinckney player was able to i'corc more than 4 points.

Iloth the second and third draft inductions of men from tni.s county 'nt(» the army have been postponed. The second hunch of draftees scheduled to leavo on January 2 will pro nr, January 20. Three Pinckney boys a'p on the list, Lloyd Hendee, Ted Adesh and Harold Wall. Also former resident, John Dillon Howell. The entire 13 boys on !ist are volunjteers. -
The third bunch of draftees probably go about February 3, t'sough this date is not yet definite. Tvis list has been cut down some by the fact that two from Pinckney failed to pass the medical examination. They are Clarence Culver and Pavle Shirley. Others will probably fail tto pass and if this happens this county will have to send replece-nentf for all rejected men.
We understand that most of the second and third draftees will go to Camp Custer providing quarters are »eady for them there. Lack of accomodations there caused the postponing of the second bunch of drafftees.
In the third bunch of draftees to <?v> in February are Royal Baker Jr. Ladonis Spears, Steve Gerycz, Leonard Devins, Francis Krupa, Gerald Clinton and Bennie VanBlaricum.

Confronted with * state legistatur'" that is not subservient to hb com-mund.Governor Murray VanWagoner er, the third Democrat to occupy the state executive office in ten years lias undertaken a challenging task to "make Democracy work" in Michigan.
Not mere pious words are these, a? expressed in his inaugeral address.
Critical days of 1941 demand a closely coordinated effort for national defense. And national defense, like demouracy itself, has a way of beginning at home. It requires doing, nut-.talking, to get things done.
In his emphasis on "making Democracy live in America" by doing something about it in Michigan, the new governor served effective notice on the Republican majority in the senate and house, as well as the Republican officeholders at ithe state louse that he expects their co-op-cration in making state government responsive to popular needs. Bi.Partisan Control
Tooday's situation at Lansing is extraordinary in several respects.
It is throughly bi-partisan. While the Democrats elected a governor, lieutenant governor, and state tereas uerer.the Republicans retained majority control of both houses of the le^.slature, elected an attorney general and re-elected a secretary of st ite and auditor general.
Responsibility is divided whereby eaci, party may raise the hue and cry that the other is responsible for failure of accomplishment.
Phrased in more familiar language the door is wide open for political buck-passing.
To make democracy work under these circumstances is a Herculean alignment, and it will take all Ithe diplomatic skill of the practicn!-n-inded Van Wagoned to achieve eve), a moderate success.
"Men without jobs, children on cru.ches don't care for party labels" ht cnulioned in an appeal for "unity of will, unity of purpose, unity of administrui ion."

The pigeons, capable of flying up to 600 miles a day at an average speed of 35 miles~per hour, are used to carry to headquarters messages from combat and observation aircraft, tanks and units cut off from ordinary channels of communication. The messages are placed in a capsule attached to a band on the bird's leg.
Among the 20,000 pigeons in the United States army during the last war were many whose deeds of valor equaled those of any soldier.
Tributes to Heroic Birds. The Signal Corps Manual for
pigeon-handlers pictures two of them with these tributes:
" 'The Mocker,' with one eye destroyed by a piece of shrapnel and his head a welter of clotted blood, homed in from the Beaumont front (in France) early in the morning of Sept. 12, 1918. This bird carried a message of great importance which gave the location of several of the advancing heavy batteries that were doing terrible execution on American troops. The information enabled the American artillery to silence the enemy's guns within twenty minutes."
" 'The President Wilson,' on the morning of Nov. 5, 1918, through heavy fog and with a leg shot off, arrived at his loft {on the Western Front) with an important message."
Mounted and preserved in the United States Museum of Natural History in Washington is "Cher Ami," known as the army's most famous pigeon of the World war. He was credited with carrying—with one leg shattered and a machine-gun bullet in the breast—a message that saved the "Lost Battalion."
Training Pigeons. At Fort Monmouth, N. J., the sig
nal corps school and training base for pigeons, is one of the bird veterans of the World war. He served with the German army 23 years ago and was captured and brought to the United States. He has at
tained an age seldom equaled by his kind.
Mobile lofts, each housing 60 birds, are being assigned to various army posts.
Army records disclosed that the first extensive use of the birds by American troops in battle was during the Aisne-Marne offensive in the World war between August 29 and September 11, 1918. A mobile loft operating near the line received 78 important messages and 148 test messages.
Of the 72 birds used from this loft not one failed to return. However, casualties in other engagements were not uncommon. *
At the beginning of the last World war Germany operated an efficient and well-established pigeon service in all arms. The allies developed similar service early in the war and the German army resorted to trained hawks—in addition to gunfire—to destroy the enemy's pigeons.
Fur and Feathers Friendship
All eats are fond oX birds—as a variation in their diet—bat "Toy," a pet tomcat in New fork, wouldn't dream of even licking his chops at bis pal, "Bob," a common English sparrow. Toy overcame his natnral instincts when Bob, helpless and hungry, was picked up outside the window of his home four years ago.

Conservation Farming Swells Supply of Milk
AMHERST, MASS. - With 1940 feed supplies and pastures improved by conservation farming, dairymen could provide every person in the United States with 45 quarts more milk and cream this year than in 1939, according to the Agricultural Adjustment administration. It is also reported that they could furnish 81 pounds more cheese, butter and ice cream than last year.
Match Is Believed Cause Of This Rooster's Death
PARIS, MO.—A scorched rooster-gizzard was recently displayed here by Mrs. Longnecker.
It came from a Rhode Island Red rooster which Mrs. Longnecker saw in convulsions.
Investigation revealed a burnt match and scorched places on the gizzard lining.
She believed the grit in the gizzard had ignited the match.

"Is it as great and wide as the Green Meadows?" asked Sammy Jay.
for it in your thoughts. That is just the way it was with Old Man Coyote. He was living on the Green Meadows, and he was very well satisfied there, but once in a while his thoughts would go back to his old home, the home where he had learned a great deal of the cleverness which made him the smartest and most feared of all the Green Meadows people. He never had mentioned that old home until now. Sammy Jay had said that he would like to hear about it, and somehow Old Man Coyote felt just like telling about it.
"It was in the West, the great, wide, wonderful West," said he with a faraway look in his eyes.
Peek Inside British Pillbox
Although grim and forbidding on the outside, the pillboxes that form an almost endless chain around the coast of Great Britain are quite homey Inside. Here is a typical interior of one somewhere in England. The men pass the hours by reading, playing checkers or writing home. Note the tools for gun repair in the background.
"Is it as great and wide as the Green Meadows?" asked Sammy Jay.
Old Man Coyote looked at Sammy pityingly. "So much greater and so much wider that I could trot and trot for days and days and not reach the edge," he replied.
Sammy looked as if this was hard to believe, but he said nothing, and Old Man Coyote continued:
"The sky was bluer, the grass was greener, and the very air was sweeter than any you have known."
Sammy had it on the tip of his tongue to say that he didn't believe a word of this because no sky could be bluer than the one over them that very minute, no grass \ could be greener than that of the lareen Meadows, and no air could be sweeter than that which he breathed every day, but just in time he remembered that Old Man Coyote was talking of his old home, and that that made a difference. Sammy was smart enough to know that these things might seem so much better to Ojd Man Coyote just because they concerned his old home. So Sammy held his tongue and listened while Old Man Coyote went on.
"Out there is room, plenty of room for everyone—room enough to turn around without hitting your tail against your neighbor. There's plenty to eat, and life is really worth the living out there."
"Don't you think it worth the living here?" asked Sammy. "I notice you took the greatest care not to get in one of those traps. If it is such a wonderful place, why did you leave it to come here to the Green Meadows?"
Old Man Coyote hung his head just a wee bit as if ashamed of something. "I didn't leave it because I wanted to," he replied in a low voice.
Sammy stared down at Old Man Coyote in round-eyed wonder. Somehow, he couldn't think of anybody who could make anyone so smart as Old Man Coyote do anything he didn't want to. "Why—why did you leave, then?" he asked.
"Because I was caught in one of these things and taken away," growled Old Man Coyote in a very low voice, as if both angry and ashamed that such a thing could happen.
"Oh!" gasped Sammy in a low voice. "Oh, I thought you knew all about traps."
"I was careless," replied Old Man Coyote very simply.

NATION LACKS TITLE OF VAST AREAS OF LAND IN MIDWEST WASHINGTON.—Dusty files in the
general land office disclose the strange fact that five states contain whole areas which, as far as the country's title goes, are not a part of the United States.
Only one ot the states, Colorado, has taken the trouble to do anything about the situation, hoisting a flag several years ago and claiming the area in the name of the federal government.
The land office relates the story of the paradox which has existed for 137 years:
when Napoleon peddled that large subdivision known as the Louisiana Purchase to America he could have used a better surveyor, to say the least
Broadly, the territory included the western drainage basin of the Mississippi river. The negotiators made mistakes, though.
They believed certain sections drained into the Mississippi when actually they drained into the Great Lakes. So, under terms of the treaty, parts of what became Minnesota, North and South Dakota, are not properly parts of the Louisiana Purchase.
The same thing happened in Louisiana.
A portion of this state—thought to drain into the Mississippi—later
turned out to drain into the Sabine river.
A part of Colorado was a little more involved.
A small part near Fates Park w%a discovered not to drain into the Mia* sissippi, and hence was not a part of the Louisiana Purchase. On t*a other hand, it was east of the Continental Divide and not a part *f what Mexico ceded to the United States in 1848.

Boosting Michigan Soil Fertility

Good Soil M a n a g e m e n t P r o d u c e s Profitable R e s u l t s .
"TWO questions usually occur to * a farmer in Michigan when he is
considering the use of c o m m e r c i a l fertilizer.
One i s : "What kind of plant food shall I se lect and how m u c h shal l I a p p l y ? " The .o ther i s : "Can I afford to use fer t i l i zer !"
"The answer to the first quest ion," s a y s a s ta tement of the Middle West Soil I m p r o v e m e n t Commit tee , " is that the se lect ion of the fertilizer that will produce the most effective re*ult3 in higher y ie lds and better quality crops d e p e n d s on the type of soil , the crops to be grown, the kind of rotation and other factors. The soi ls and agronomy departm e n t s of the s i c t e agricultural coll e g e s a n d e x p e r i m e n t stat ions h a v e useful information in eas i ly avai l able form.

"The a n s w e r to the second question is furnished by the exper ience of success fu l f a r m e r s throughout the Middle W e s t R e c o r d s on the use of fert i l izers show that the a v e r a g e dollar spent for ferti l izer m a y be exp e c t e d to return a t l eas t $3 in inc r e a s e d crop y i e l d s , h igher quality and feeding va lue , b e s i d e s building u p and increas ing the fertil ity of the soil for future c r o p s .

Friday night, Jan. 10, the Pinckney basketball team will play one of its meet important games of the season with Dexter. Its importance lies in the fact thai if the Pinckney boys win thty will keep themselves very much In the championship race while a ttefeat, while not eliminating them would practically remove them from championship consideration. As the rac« now stands Pinckney and New Haoson are tied for the league leadership with one victory and no defeats each and the following week brings New Hudson here for a crucial game.
Dexter has quite an impressive record this year with 8 victories and I defeat The defeat being at the liands of New Htadson by a 2 point trargin alter Dexter had led until the final two minutes. (
Pinckney in the meantime can I boart of but t victory in 4 starts but the boys have shown improvement in each game. In their last en
counter they were defeated by a fast Chelsea squad by a 84-26 count.
The game between the reserve squad? of both schools should be quite a tu&sle. Dexter** reserve squad has yet to taste defeat while the local reserves boast a two game winning atreak their last victory being gained over the Chelsea reserve's *>y 6 score of 84 to 12.
It is hoped that many Pinckney fens will journey to Dexter to support these teams and aid them in their attempts to establish them-serve* ae championship contenders. So far this year the teams have been supported whole heartedly by local fans and It is hoped that this fine support continues and that the boys can deliver the type of basket-tall that merits such support.

Meeting, potluck, of the Altar Society, Thursday, January 9, 1:80
The crop year of 1941 should be relatively free from emergency hay and pasture crops. It would be if the farm operators had taken the time to compute the cost of planting borne of the emergency crops and balancing this cost against the production from some of our biennial and perennial plants. Roughly we can figure that preparation of seed bed and planting will cost $6.00 per acre. On top of this $6.00 per acre we have our seed cost which runs from $1.20 an acre to $160 making a total somewhere in the neighborhood of $6.60 per acre. Now remember that this has to be done each and every year with an emergency hay crop whereas with some of our other pasture or hay mixtures it is done every two, three or four years.
A seed bed preparation in each case we will assume *to be the same. The cost of the seed for alfalfa and brume grass will be slightly higher than the seed eoet for sudan grass. Even though the seed cost of these perennials is twice the cost of your annual emergency crop you have the preparation of the seed bed only once, so each time that a year goes past and you figure on an emergen-ry hay crop for the next year the cost of this emergency forage is increased by the cost of /tillage operations. The quality of forage rendered is not quite up to the standard set hy your alfalfa-brome mixture.
1 believe if any one will stop and consider these cost factors that the f-mergency hay and pasture crop

(Consolidated Feature*—WNU Service.) ^ E W YORK.-Joseph C. Grew, • ^ ambassador to Japan, got his start by crawling into a cave and getting a half-nelson on a tiger. No
Bear - Wrangler, J ° n ^ ^ £ Tiger-Tilter Was talk back to Diplomat Crew F0™'1^ M i n -, p , o m w urmw ister Matsu-
oka and to teU him that "The American people are firmly determined in certain matters."
About that tiger. Just out of Harvard, the young Bostonian headed for Singapore, to piece out his sheepskin with a tiger skin. He hunted big game for two years in southern Asia, engaging in a great deal of jungle milling before he found the open door in China—the entrance to the tiger's cave which was his gate* way to a distinguished diplomats career.
When the tiger story was published, it caught the eye of President Theodore Roosevelt, bat it was a later bear story which really stirred his interest. Young Mr. Grew took three straight falls from an angry bear. Naturally, T. R. saw in that the makings of a diplomat. Cables the next day routed the bear-wrangler and tiger-tilter into a lifetime career in diplomacy, starting a post with the Egyptian consulate-general at Cairo. He was paced steadily on up
through posts at Mexico City, Petro-grad, Berlin, Vienna, Copenhagen and Berne. He is rounding 60, 36 years in the diplomatic service, tall, erect, weathered, graying. His durable career typewriter has come along with him down the years, and on it he raps out his terse reports to the state department. Bear-wrangling, diplomacy and this and that has left him with only one good ear, but it serves to register a bigger earful than most diplomats get with two.
Mrs. Grew is a granddaughter of Commodore Perry, who opened Japan to the western world—or vice versa. Living with them at the embassy is their daughter, Mrs. Cecil Lyon, with her two children.
VTERNE MARSHALL was born * and grew up in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, and for 26 years has been editor of the Cedar Rapids Gazette.
Scrib. Stay. Put, L V p u . , ^ Believe* the U. S. thinks the U. Should Do Same &• A-ought to
do the same. In New York, he becomes the organizer and director of the No Foreign War Committee, which puts him in the opposite corner to William Allen White, the other sage of mid-western newspapering, who heads the Committee to Defend America. Not that Mr. White wants war, but their ideas are so opposed that they already are pumping large-caliber editorials at each other.
Mr. Marshall lost one war. For his courageous anti-graft campaign in Cedar Rapids, he was awarded the Pulitzer prize, on May 4, 1938. Bat while the cheers were still echoing, the Iowa Supreme court, the next day, knocked oat his graft charges against 31 persons. He kept on slogging, however, and is highly esteemed in those parts as a self-starting, hard-hitting editor. He was in London in 1911, writing
tor the London Chronicle, returned home and later left his newspaper desk for a stretch of machine-gunning in the big war. He didn't like it and now says enough is enough. He is the father of six children.
N O CUSTOMER who ever dropped in at Jacques De Sieyes' Fifth
avenue perfume shop for a spot of "fleur d'amour" would ever have thought of the elegant M. De Sieyes as a fighting man. But that's the way it is with the French—elegant, but tough, on occasion. M. De Sieyes was a flying ace in the Work! war, lost a leg, was wounded five times and is now looking for a return engagement as he serves as the personal representative of Gen. Charles De Gaulle, to rally the "free French" in this country. Just now, with three other members of General De Gaulle's American committee, he gives vehement assurance that the present political machinations of the Nazis will consolidate France and steel it for final resistance.

Drop in Spring Pig Crop Predicted by Government
Rise in Pork Prices Considered Likely; Washington Correspondents Discuss
'Jitters' of War Rumors. Nat'l Farm and Home Hour Commentator.
WASHINGTON.-4'Pigs is P i g s " -that was the name of one of the funniest short stories ever written. Of course pigs "isa't" pigs. They " i s " shoats and hogs and a number of other things including sausage and pork chops.
Not long ago the mail carrier probably stopped at your gate and asked a lot o{ impertinent questions about your plans for your porkers and the other day the department of agriculture finished Teporting what the mail carriers reported to them. The result was the semi-annual Prg Crop report which said that there would be 10 per cent less little pigs going to market next spring than last.
Officially the Agricultural Marketing Service said this:
"The downswing in hog production which began in the spring of 1940 continued through the fall and will continue at least through the spring season of 1941, the Agricultural Marketing Service reported today. The decline apparently has been at an increasing rate. The percentage decrease in the 1940 fall pig crop was greater than that of last spring, and the indicated percentage decrease for the spring of 1941 is a little greater than that for the fall of 1940.
"The fall pig crop of 1940 is estimated at 12.5 per cent smaller than that of 1939. The decrease in the 1940 spring pig crop was 9 per cent. The combined pig crop of 1940 is down 10 per cent from last year but the crop is the second largest since 1933.
"The indicated number of sows to farrow in the spring season of 1941 is 14 per cent smaller than the number farrowed in the spring of 1940.
"This information, from the December Pig Crop survey, is based upon returns from 160,000 farmers obtained in co-operation with the post office department through the rural mail carriers." EXPECT PRICE RISE
Now according to past experience these estimates have proved to be pretty accurate and so the city folks can expect to have to pay more for their pork chops and the demand will probably exceed the supply.
Eventually that may apply to milk, too, but right now there are thousands of potential customers of
A family tree of value.
dairy farmers who would buy if milk and milk products were cheaper.
Efforts of the department to breed better cows is illustrated in the accompanying photograph. I wouldn't want to go on record as saying that the fine old Aberdeen-Angus that flourish in my home state of Illinois would be flattered to learn that mixing promiscuously with the strange-looking critter in the picture with the enlarged collar button on the back of its neck, would improve their family tree—but it's a fact. At least the Brahman cow has certain points which help an Aberdeen-Angus if it has to live down Texas way. It's cool in Scotland where the Aberdeen-Angus came from. It 's hot In tropical Asia where humpbacked beauty originated. The Brahman have sweat glands in their skin which acts as a refrigerating system. And a little of that goes pretty well in the Gulf states of this country.

Newt Correspondents Discos* War Jitter*
This is a story of chin-beards and war.
We have been going through some jittery moments in Washington lately with war and rumors of war all about us. In the midst of the confusion, little things, unimportant things which we remember years afterward but which never get into the papers or the history books stand out clear and sharp in our memories
OSEE1 CHILDREN
WASHINGTON. - One story which has not been told here is how a million young folks are helping Greece win the war. These children, members of a National Youth organisation, are from 8 to SO years old. They act as couriers, as aids to firemen, help the nurses and work at all sorts of jobs vacatad by the men called to the front
like a lantern swinging on a dark night, like the eerie, night-mare sound of the first coyote call you ever heard on a lonely ride home, with the moon half hidden under the moving clouds.
I was sitting in the Press club on a recent Sunday evening. There were a couple of correspondents there but the place was almost deserted. A heavy set fellow carrying a walking-stick came in.
Of course we began heckling him a little. But he's equal to it. Leon Henderson is one of the New Dealers who has managed to hold his ground, winning hate from some, respect from others who disagree with him all down the line. I'll never forget one occasion in which he figured. I can't mention the names of the men present but they were all legitimate contenders for nomination of the presidency of the United States. And Henderson offered a 10 to 1 bet that none of them would be candidates. One, only, got furious and when it was his turn to speak, launched into one of his famous invectives against Henderson and all his works. It was a good show but Henderson proved right in the end. He won the bet.
TALK ABOUT CRANKS Well, what we said to Henderson
that Sunday night and what he said in reply wasn't particularly important until we got to talking about the cranks trying to see government officials with plans for saving the world.
Then somebody said to Henderson: "Have you met the man who is communicating with Mars?"
Before he could answer, one of the cynical listeners who insisted that the administration was trying to get us into war, piped up:
"I thought you folks were already in communication with Mars."
"No," Henderson answered, quick as a whistle, "we aren't trying to communicate with the god of war, we are trying to keep away from him."
Mr. Henderson left. Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts came in. We greeted him. He said he'd been away.
Naturally the talk turned to beards. For Representative Tinkham has a famous beard. A fine wavy hirsute decoration that makes him look as friendly as some of the kindly animals you've seen with similar appendages. Beards are no longer the style. I often regret it and I have always believed that their absence was due to one of two things: moral cowardice on the part of those who fear to be different or, as in my own case, an inability to raise a crop of whiskers that would look like anything but a wheatfield in the dust bowl.
TINKHAM WELL KNOWN But Representative Tinkham is
more than a beard. He is a Washington institution. When the government purchased a well-known apartment house in the capital, in which he has had his bachelor quarters for years, and turned the building into one of the alphabetical agencies, Mr. Tinkham stood on tu> legal rights and refused to move out.
There he remained among his trophies—heads of wild water-buffalo which he had outfaced in the jungles —lions that he had not only out-bearded but beaded; tigers, elephants, tusks and all—and of course, his own much-photographed beard.
However, it is not merely the fact that Representative Tinkham ha* faced beasts in the jungle that hap made him famous. He has faced opposition for his seat in congress since 1915 and has never been defeated. And he does it without making a speech. Perhaps he is successful because he has never made a speech. Like the growing of a beard, that method is different.
And Representative Tinkham ha« another distinction. He is a member of the opposition, U not the "loyal opposition" an opposition which he considers is* based on loyalty— loyalty to his state and his nation.
"It may be too late to keep us nut of war," he said, "but I am going to fight to do it.**
And with that he turned oh his heel and with his whiskers waving like the defiant plume on the hat of Cyrano de Bergerac, he stalked rut of our presence, the tails of the strange, half-length pea-jacket he wears for an overcoat, flapping ia the breeze.

MICHIGAN STATE MlUtOft N I W 1 The role of a governor battling
against a selfish partisanship la one to inspire popular sympathy for Van Wagoner. Therein lie a peril to the Reublican leadership, as future developments may reveal.
Four Point Program In outlining his ideas about how a
democracy should function, the governor presented a four-point platform:
First, "we must do our part in the national defense program."
Because of a previously voiced lack of sympathy for the illegal sit-down strikes of 1937 (declared illegal by the United States supreme courit), Van Wagoner may be expected to discourage hastily-conceived strikes in Michigan plants where national defense awards are centered.
*'It is the duty of state government and every citizen of the state" he said, '<to speed this important work and to co-operate with the federal government so that the defense program may proceed unhampered and unmolested."
He praised labor and management for working more closely together in effective national teamwork.
Stcond, "we must never lose sight of the real things we are building to defend our national constitutional rights."
What are these traditional rights? Freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom of religion. Or in other words, freedom of a minority to crit iJze the majority; freedom of the individual to "believe and speak and write" as he chooses yithout fear.
Ao the governor expressed it, we sshould foster an "active spirit of tclerance for the beliefs of those who may happen to diagree with us."

"Election i$ Over" As Governor VanWagoner
'The election is over well
velop these social gains" — the right of labor (to organize and to bargain collectively; the right of the farmer to ;. ''fair share of our national in-cor:<": the right of all to be "secure
Sr.> \e worst hazards of unemploy-n old age and physical disabil-it " •
( overnor Van Wagoner echoed a or termination of President Roose-\"it to withstand pressure H of many people" to curtail these newly p-r.'tnted rights on the assertion that they interfere with national defense.
Regardless of defense urgency, Van Wagoner indicates that he favors greater spending by the state government for old age pensions, unemployment compensation, crippled chirdren benefits, state hospitals and public schools.
The Fizgerald-Dickinson administration emphasized home rule and a local financial responsibility. Van Wagoner's attitude would suggest a return to the conception of a centralized state government, and it may presage the opening wide of legislative purse strings to the possible embarassment of the executive office unless badly needed budget reforms are enacted in the 1941 session.
In his message to the legislature last Friday, Van Wagoner recommended more business-like collection ana administration of state funds to prevent the re-occurence of the $30-000,000 deficit left by his Democra-
Social Gam* Third objective of the Van Wag-j s o
oner program is to "preserve and de-j 0 u r-c i s the ^ ^ d u t v o f working together for the common good."
And therein is a reflection that democracy, if it is truly to be a democracy, must recognize the WM °f t'K majority.
'Regardless of the Republican vic-1 oi its, the electorate chose Murray D. Van Wagoner to be Governor of Michigan. '
Likewise, Franklin D. Roosevelt, although not the choice of the majority in Michigan, was re-elected to serve a third term as President of the!* United States.
Wendell L. Willkie in his Nov. 11 radio speech summed up the bi-partisan problem in these words: "Let us not, therefore, fall into the partisan error of opposing things just forthe sake of opposition. Ours must not be an opposition against it must be an opposition for an opposition for & strong America, a productive America. For only the productive can be strong and only the strong can be free.''

Put your own interpretation on this sentence. The governor accompanied it with these words: "of seeing to it that our state government is honest, efficient and effective."
To many persons the fourth point has partisan implications, arising out of the federal grand jury indictments.

One should claim for himself the ability to express every good and strong and lovely characterise which reflects God. Sometimes It takes much work and prayer to demonstrate them. It may take se* tienee and persistence and steadfast effort to do so, but as impatience, thoughtlessness, selfishness, and narrowness of vision ere replaced oy their opposites, man it Ood's likeness becomes ever clearer.
Every earnest person wants bit thinking and acting to bless others. He can always be sure that they will if he is reflecting God. Not to cos-done evil but not to condemn pej
