comments on a recent meeting of the representatives of the upper peninsula chapters of the Isaac Walton held at Iron in which he gives it as his opinion that the Northern Michigan association has accomplished and can accomplish more in the fu for the conservation of game and fish than the Isaac Walton has no knocks for the Isaac Walton and neither has the but we note that there are a considerable number of organizers traveling about the country in the interests of the League and we must confess that we have become rather prejudiced against this sort of We have already met three or four of these or for the and have wondered if they were really a and if a con part of the money paid into the treasury didnt get into the pockets of these organizers instead of being used in the way of the conservation of wild life and the for We know of no traveling representatives of the Northern Michigan asso If there are any such we have nev er met any of and for this we are in to favor this This trav eling about the country organizing sports mens associations makes a mighty fine job for a number of and perhaps it may be necessary in some but it certainly takes a whole lot of the funds contributed by the members out of the which might well be used for other at least from our point of and any asso which could get along without these organizers would be quite a little to the Perhaps this is only our which we have gained through the large number of organizers of this and of that which we have met up particularly since the and it may be that all these organizers and pro are necessary in order to make the League a it appears to us that a great many of at could well be dispensed IMPROVEMENT OF SUFFOLK STREET PRACTICALLY all of the business men doing business or owning property on Suffolk street have signed a petition which was presented to the City Commission this asking that Suffolk street be paved with the same as was Aurora street this that the white way on this street be changed to conform with that on Aurora street and McLeod and that this street be extended south across the cave to connect with the Norrie The improvement of this one of the most important in the business section of the as requested in this would be a very fine thing and we all hope that the city government may be able to see its way clear to making the improvements as but it is all a question of the funds required for the making of these im Through While the City Commission has gotten along famously and has made some very fine improvements in the city in he past eighteen we must all re member that we have a very heavy load of debt to carry and that taxation is becoming quite burdensome to the average property owner of If the requested improvement can be made without adding too much to the already leavy taxation in the well and but it may be possible that we may be com to wait a few years until some of our debts are paid before we undertake any more improvements of an extensive It is a matter which is up to the City ommission and the City If they are able to get by with it with the funds it will be and we will all give hem the proper ONE PROSPECTIVE LEGISLATOR THE Detroit News as an effort to establish the identity of one jf the legislative nominees from Wayne On the morning of September 15 the vot ers woke up to find that Joseph whose name is almost a dead ringer for that jf Judge Joseph of the Wayne circuit was one of the 17 Re publican nominees from a field They ound that he run polling a total if Who is Joseph Monahan asked everal thousand voters after had read he Where is his what loes he and why Once more the investigator set forth on he jolliest of man he Monahan as his The investigator had discovered hat the National Association Against

deftly flicked a crumb from the long Goodbye and dont for get me at the November NO SIGNS AS YET WE note no signs that the Democratic candidate for is going to meet with much response to his in to Republicans to support him No There will be something of a bolt there always no matter who the Re publicans nominate for but it will be from all no greater than in previous years and not great enough to be distinguishable when it comes to figuring up the majority for Comstock has evidenced a purpose to have much to say about campaign as we have already while there is no doubt that there was a heavy ex in the Green campaign he is not likely to get far along that The law limits a candidate for governor to an of not more than 50 per cent of the salary for the Under its Green could not have spent more than Green was familiar with the law and is doubtless prepared to show that he ob served But as there is more than one way of skin ning a so theres more than one way of financing a primary fund of considerable proportions without anyone being much en There be it no limit to what committees or may spend to advance a candidates inter K Comstock will find that generalities on the score of the campaign expenditures will not help He must have proof of something of sinister implication if he is to startle the If there was proof to be it would be difficult to We doubt whether Comstock is going to be able to offer anything of substance in sup port of his Journal WHERE THE CIVIL SERVICE FITS THE pity of political fights and adminis changes in our state affairs not lie in the removal of appointive or the directing heads of the various com missions and departments but reaches fai out into the realm of the productive workers who have taken their tasks seriously and strive to make We have a good example of this at the present time in our conservation One of the campaign pledges of both the Re publican and Democratic nominees for gov ernor is the removal of the present of conservation from This may or may not work for the good of conservation affairs in the It depends in a large measure upon his but during the past six since the establishment of a conservation a personnel has been built up taken as a is far better than the average of any other Millions of dollars have been spent in organ izing a forest fire state geological a system of predatory animal con trol and in the erection and maintenance of fish All of these activities are handled by men who are perfectly capable of getting It makes slight differ ence to them who is governor or director of conservation just so long as they can plug along and get All they need is the incentive but with our spoils system in perfect working order every two years the entire organization is thrown in chaos for fear the next governor will clean house and their past efforts will count for How much better it would be if these trained in their were placed under civ il service and not be made to stand in fear of their jobs every biennial in Detroit THE THEATRICAL SITUATION WITH the decision of the City Commis sion that the Rialto Theatre building is unsafe for further use as a and that the petition for the making of repairs to this building be Ironwood is left without a theatre building with a the only building in the city in which an attrac tion other than a movie show can be staged being the Memorial with its level floor is poorly adapted to theatrical The Seamens Building corporation has re cently announced its intention of building a new theatre on its lot in the rear of the pres ent Seamens to cost approximately one hundred thousand work to be commenced the coming We hope that the Seamens corporation will be able to go through with its and thus give Ironwood a theatre in which road attrac tions may be A theatre costing a hundred thousand dollars would be a very fine thing for the the only question be ing whether or not it could be made a pay ing In the days before the movies there would be no questions on this such buildings always being losing in cities the size of but the movie has changed all and when used as a movie as it would such a theatre would be a paying investment in this In any Ironwood badly needs a the atre building with a and if the Sea mens corporation supplies this need with a new as it now it will be en titled to the commendation and support of all residents of the IZAAK WALTON LEAGUE HOLDS A CONVENTION LAST week Iron Ore received notice from the headquarters of the Walton League that a convention of the upper pen nsula chapters was to be held in Iron Moun last Friday and and that of the upper peninsula members would in We knew that there would not be any on as the league has not onethird that number in membership north of the The convention was held and there were eight of the 20 some odd chapters with dele gates in With those from the Iron Mountain chapter who were at the the total attendance was less than 50 It appears that even the organization will stoop to pro which is intended to The Izaak Walton League has had an or at work in the upper peninsula for some weeks and he has succeeded in adding a number of new but not the number that he has stated in press His main talking point has been that the upper peninsula was to have an organization of its completely severed from the lower Michigan but when the hand full of delegates landed in Iron Mountain for the convention they were told by lower state officers that there could be but the one main unit in this This did not set very well with the who went ahead and elected officers and passed a mo tion to the effect that they would function as an upper Michigan It may be that this entire question will have to be finally determined by the national convention of the Iron Ore is in sympathy with the work which is being carried on by the Izaak Wal ton but we firmly believe that more be accomplished through an organiza tion such as the Northern Michigan Sports mens which has obtained re sults in the past and which is going to ac accomplish much more at the next session of the state The association al ready has a large one single lub having a membership of and the clues are only about onethird of those charged by the Many will pay a dol lar a year into the club treasury who will lot pay three which the league and the larger the memberships the greater the results which can be Conservation is one of the foremost topics in the state today and the program is going o be enlarged when the necessary funds are The legislature is going to be urged to appropriate more money for conser vation work and to raise extra funds through the adoption of a rod The is just becoming aroused to the situa and the legislature will not cooperate completely until the people demand We want some of our forests and our wild ife conserved and there must be places where the public can play but where wild ife will not be there must be places where shooting and fishing will be permitted under Every of Michigan can aid in the by becoming a member of a sports mens and those of the upper peninsula should join a club which is affiliat ed with the Northern Michigan Iron DO INSPECTORS PROTECT LEADING the report of Architect Nelson on the Rialto Theatre which was made to the City and which will be found in the official pro of the commission published in an other column in this one cannot fail o feel that this building has long been a menace to the public of the when used is a and we are thereby led to won ler what real protection to the public is af forded by the reports of the official xns in such cases who receive compensation from the public funds for their The editor of the Times had lond consid ired the Rialto Theatre building as particularly in case of but any sugges ion that such might be the case was met by he statement that the State Fire Marshal had inspected the building and had pro it Now comes the statement from a disinterested who says that the exits of the building are inade that the seating is poor and does not with the regulation for Does not this mean that the building was unsafe in case of fire And how about the seating arrangement Did not the fire mar shal know that this did not comply with the when he placed his on this or is Architect Nelson wrong in this The Times does not wish to particularly pick flaws in the official conduct of the in of but it does feel that the which naturally takes the reports of inspecting officials as a is en titled to a greater degree of protection from probable danger than it apparently received n the case of this Rialto Theatre Unless Architect Nelson is absolutely all wrong in his report on the condition of this and we dont believe that he the Continued on
