ntf(o q o.Student drivers of
obi e jushould be called to the
stoI street" ordinance which
property; it asserts that the govern-I
ment has fallen weakly before the in-
trigues of the stingy Henry Ford; it
portrays him as the super man, theI
Aristides, and as the master politician
and deigogue whose far reaching
powers control the mass of people
only for his own selfish motives. What
an exaggeration that is! It is true
that Mr. Ford has great wealth, a
powerful influence among the Amer-
lloan people, and a master mind, but
notwithstanding all these qualities he
is a just man. Could it be that these.
defamations are justifiable in view
of the fact that Mr. Ford has been
for many years leading without pub-
lic interference his business, social,i
and political life?
The editorial states that in the Mich-
igan primaries f'or United States sena-
tor Mr. Ford's name was on both Re-
publican and Democratic tickets, and
also his name appears in both parties$
when the movement to make him
President was begun. This seems to
us as written proof that Mr. Ford
is not the nefarious man as is main-
tained in this editorial, because neith-
er Republicans nor Democrats would
consider a so undesirable man as a
winning candidate for a responsible!
office. An unjust stain was placed on
President Coolidge's character when
the editorial stated that President
Coolidge after having talked with Mr.
Ford recommended to Congress the
lease of Muscle Shoals to Ar. Ford,
which in turn was followed by Mr.
Ford's statement that he was for Cool-
idge for President. President Coolidge
is not the type of man to be influenced
in regard to such a weighty question
by one solitary man in order to boost'
I his nomination for the next President.
We do not believe that the house
of representatives would accept Mr..
Ford's proposal in place of accepting
an offer by a group of southern power
companies submitted in the Hull bill,
introduced February 8, 1924, if such
a transaction would bring about irre-
parable danger to national wealth.
The giving to Ford this super, power,
station, having an abundance of re-
s ourses, and the $84,000,000 worth
of property has placed a most gigan-
ttic project :into the hands of one of
country's ablest business executives.
When Mscle Shoals is completely
given over the zgovernment will be
relieved of another business which, will
be better managed under a single{
executive than under a group of pow-
er companies.

object of the League as stated in its.
By-Laws is as follows:
'To promote education in citizen-
ship, efficiency in government, needed
legisla-tion and international co-oper-
ation to prevent war.
It is impossible to find anything in4
this statement of its purpose that has
any possible connection with the aims
of Russian Communism. For 1923 the
National League of Women Voters
adopted the following program of
study for its branches. These are all
practical questions of every day Amer-
ican politics and cannot be construed
into having even a radical twist.
1. The Presidential Primary.
2. Legislative bodies; national,
State and local; the principle of rep-
resentation, procedure and methods.
3. City government; a comparative4
study of Mayor, Commission and Coun-
cil- Manager types.
4. Methods of making simple sur-
veys of the machinery of municipal'
administration, emphasizing the Merit
System in Civil Service, and the prin-
ciples of Budget Baking.
I am acquainted with the president
of the Iioague, Mrs. Maud Wood Park.
She is a woman of the highest stand-
ing and reputation. The principal
mo. ing spirit of the organization has
been Carrie Chapman Catt whd spoke,
recently in the Oratorical Associa-
tion Course in Hill Auditorium.
The article in the Dearborn Inde-I
pendent from which you previous
correspondent quoted fails entirely to
establish any connection between theI
program and policies of hte Nation-!
al League of Woman Voters and the
Third International. To accuse every-
one with whom we do not agree of
Bolshevism is very common in these
days, but it-is.0ertainlya .,abitto .be
dicouraged. In the School of Citizen-!
ship which is to be conducted on the
Campus this summer by the National
League of Women Voters most of the
instruction is t be given by mnmbers
of the faculty' of the UAniversity Of''
Michigan. For one I can assure the
readers; of the Daily thatI would:have
no part in any organization whose
character and p rpose was such as'
indicated by your former correspond-
ent.
And now Mr. Daugherty is no long-
er a member of Mr. Coolidge's little
coterie. The cabinet is, you might say,
dwindling. First Mr. Denby, then Mr.
Daugherty-starting with D's, youI
Esee.
Still, if Mr. Coolidge was going to
have a whole new cabinet, he might
as well have canned all of Warren's
force when he swore the oath in his
barn up in Vermont. All of this oil
scandal seems to us a pretty cheap#
way of getting rid of them...
CUT WHERE BOYS WILL BE BOYS
Jaques Lebaud was a trapper. And
nearly everyone agreed that Jaques,
when he was in his right mind, was a;
,'fairly presentable citizen. But this
night the huge Frenchman was in a
rage, tempered no whit by constant
tippling. Rising from his table in the
Little Dog saloon, the giant lurched
toward a nearby table, his face purple
with rage.
"Sacre," he smote the table till the
dishes rang again, "what a betenoire
you have proved to be." And he leered
evilly at the strapping young blond,
likewise a trapper, who had latelyI
come among these people to snatch 1
a scant living from the scanter furred
animals. The young blond was a Hans
Offme, unmistakably a Norwegian.
"Back to your corner, beast," he
rose to the full height of his trim fig-I
tire, "and unless you cease poaching
on my territory, I\ siall throw you
in the boiling hot spring tomorrow."
And turning on his heel, he strode
from the buzzing room to the wintry
outside. Strapping on his snowshoes,
he made h.is way through blinding
drifts to his unpretentious log cabin.
The net dy .dawned lright anda
clear with a scent of tragedy in the
air. IHans breathed deeply of the chest-i
filling ozone.
"A great and plenteous country" ho
soliloquized as he trekked from trap
to trap: ;{
All wereienipty, altholgh stains of
blood showed tracos of a captive dur-
ing the night.
"Somebody har robbed my traps" he
told himself. "What if--" when ahead
he saw the unmistakable form of
Jaques Lebaud, bending over one of
his traps. Hans walked forward.
"I wbaud, I am going to throw you
in the boiling spring" he .remarked
. tensely. Followed a short but intense
struggle, and soon Hans picked the1
senseless body of his enemy, carry-
ing it over his shoulder to the hot
spring.
"There now" he thought as he toss-
ed the huge body forward, saw it
I crush through the ice into the clear
water, and fascinatedly watched the
steamy vapor issue from the hole as
the lifeless body . sank down, down,
down...

nine thriving seasons as one of the
most constant lattle. Theater group
in the country and after producing
consistent and increasingly artistic
plays for as many years, are announc-
ing at their final program this week
the intention of discontinuing their de-

throwing up the sponge and dropping

. The reason is at once simple and
puzzling: Their work has been too
successful! According to the director,'
the 'task of turning out five programs
yearly for six perforfnances each and

disturbing that the repective players
are fairly faced with the problem of
either giving up their business or their

favor of the greasy, but so very neces-
sary, dollars'.
