An American family drives out for a Sunday air. John Henry Jones comforts a sick son while motor traffic grows chaotic and dangerous. The son deserts the journey, wanders, returns home to find his father decades later and his life changed after marriage and eight children in Detroit.
A Times letter from May 22 prompted correction of an article alleging lack of a judge on traffic cases. The piece acknowledges Judge Harry K. Bay is on the job at all times, clarifies the police informant may have erred, and stresses prompt case settlements for arrestees, including transients. The column also discusses Prohibition era beverage issues in Detroit and Windsor, noting mixed views and reactions from Rev. Benjamin Spense and Ontario officials.
A local beer jury of seasoned experts finds the Ontario four point four beer recalls Milwaukee fame and pre prohibition popularity, but some tasters express disappointment on two counts.
The case of Charles Ruthenberg and William Z Foster, split verdicts in St. Joseph, sent to the Communist International in Moscow, ends with both sides accepting Moscow's decision. After Russia’s recognition, Ruthenberg and Foster may turn to the Russian embassy in Washington, elevating it as headquarters for American communist activity and raising concerns about a world court and the League of Nations.
A statement describes a prominent figure unafraid to welcome rebel forces within his country. It notes his uncompromising stance while commenting on his hair length as a curious personal detail.
The piece contrasts William Jennings Bryan’s stance on teaching evolution with the Scopes trial in Dayton Tennessee. It notes Bryan’s framing of the case as not a comedy and highlights supporters and opponents, including the ACLU and the AAAS, plus Dayton’s publicity push and side incidents in Chattanooga and with a local barber.
The Progressive Dayton Club notes visitors from the war department last week, praising crowd care and the use of cars as temporary hotels. A boarding-house survey promises fair rates, while plans include radio broadcasts from the village court room. Dayton envisions a real estate surge if business expectations rise.
The Marquette Mining Journal notes excellent relations between Catholic and Protestant groups in the Upper Peninsula, especially Ironwood. It attributes this to polyglot immigration, balanced communities, and a tradition of peaceful coexistence, contrasting with harsher clashes seen elsewhere. Knights of Columbus members outside Ironwood are mentioned.
The article extols the high level of religious tolerance in Tronwood and neighboring Upper Peninsula cities. It cites former Ironwood educator Luther L Wright on private matters and urges avoiding criticism of others for church choices, arguing unity over denominational quarrels strengthens the community.
The United States Supreme Court handed down a unanimous ruling early this week striking down an anti parochial school amendment in Oregon. The decision is seen as a major victory for opponents of such measures in Michigan and ends further attempts by local groups to push similar restrictions. Oregon’s vote had already shown religious intolerance, but the court’s ruling prevents the measure from taking effect there or becoming a template for Michigan.
The article notes that free camping grounds for tourists are rapidly passing as many tourists refuse to pay a reasonable price for a well equipped site. The writer argues only paying guests deserve such facilities, and the piece signals continued discussion on page 8.
