11l LMSING SPIRIT TIMES WRITER FINDS UN EXAMPLE ; FOR OTHER CITIES TO COPT Capital City Is Blessed With Men of Push and Get- There Spirit ENTERPRISE IS THE WORD Board a f Commerce Has Been Organized and Is In Charge • of Live Wires From a Ntaff Correspondent. LANSING, March 2. —"Our liven are what we make them," according to a wtae one, and it can be sagaciously said that our cities are what we make Lh«m. Galveston “conic buck" from ibe terrible devastation of the too* much-water plague, not because that it was the only spot left upon which a city eould be planted, but because men of brain, bravery and brawn de termined that the famous gulf city should “not perish from tne earth " San Francisco has sprung up in greater grandeur from a shake that reduced her to a heap of smoldering scraps, not because that particular Han Francisco was Indispensable at that particular spot on the western edge of the continent, but for the rea son that some men of "git” and grit and constructive optimism rolled their sleeves up and went to work. Detroit is Detroit largely because of Detroiters. Hustle—wise and public spirited hustle—has made Detroit the big and famous city that she is today. Abolish Detroit's Hoard of Commerce, congeal the prideful ardor of her peo ple, and make over all of her boosters Into knockers, and then watch for green pastures in the streets and the laising pf a crop of cobwebs in houses, stores and factories. And this little preamble leads us ud to the announcement that this. thA capital city of Michigan, has a recent ly organized big. growing and pre tentious Chamber of Commerce that /teems to be saturated and soaked with the "get there” spirit. For about 11 years the Lansing bus iness Men's association existed and influenced for the growth and geueral development of the city, and out of this organisation bus evoluted the present lousing promoting institution. The Chnniber of Commerce was or ganised here last January and with the yeur yet in its youthfulness, this am hit ions association has already attained a membership of nqarly 400. Secretary Thomas H. St am nuugh is aiming to hit the Htx> mark iiy the :irst of April and here’s hoplug that 'he zealous secretary will not he fool ed in this particular on that particu lar date. This enterprise is unique in the fact that it combines * the usual iw».<: lions of an organisation of that nature with the pleasures and advantages of a well-equipped club. The cham ber has commodious quarters on Mich lgan-ave., over the gas office, where the* attractions consist of a large lounging room,, convention bail, ban quet hall, kitchen, directors' utul com uitUeeg' rooms, reading room supplied "TT>l*nty"tlT literature, and pri vate telephone booth. A cigar sluurt Is another feature and a receptacle containing loose tobacco and acces sible pipes await the appetites of vis iting victims of tlie wiles of the w*\d. It is the 1 plan to equip another room with a billiard tubte and a pool table. The use of the rooms is not con fined to ihe chamber Htid its mem bers. but the headquarters are -4he meeting place for a number of other organizations such as the retail gro cers, meat dealers, etc. A special effort is to be made :o Inject young blood into the institu tion and with this end in view a ape ' tal young. fellows’ night is being planned for The event is to be char acterized by the use of young speak ers and the general lent tiring of youth- The president of this new r organisa tion, the Lansing Chamber of Com merce. Is J. H. Moores, one of the real big. beloved and boosting citi zens of the capital city, and a man with a history to look at and thunk about with a feeling of licensible pride. Some years ago Mr. Moores tailed in business, and we understand that society proceeded to count ten on nuy and class him with that much membered fraternity of aown-and outers. But “you can’t keep a good man down." it is said, and Mr. Moores was CHILD HAD ECZEMA , ITCHEDTERRIBLY Smitt Sores All Over Face, Scratched, Which Made Them Worse. Could Not Sleep. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured Her. 1711 W. 20th 81., Chicago, 111. “My child suffered ffreatly with eczema. First small tores began tn a few places on her far* and then all over her face, becoming larger. The child scratched them, which made them worse. They itched terribly and (he rduld not sleep. The itching made her cry often, but medicine did not seem to help any. This had lasted three weeks whan I sent for Cuti cura Soap and Ointment. The result was great. Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured her and we highly recommend them ” (Signed) Mrs. Krai. November. 1911. FACEFREEDFROM PIMPLES Through Cuticura Soap and Ointment. ♦l7 Cherry Bt., New York. N. Y. About two years ago there suddenly appeared on iny face and forehead pimples and blackheads. The pimples war* scattered over my face Tbay were tor* and caused plenty of pain. I suffered much from them I tried several different remedies I declared it was hope less to remove thoaa pimples from my face. "About four months ago a friend recom mended to me the Cuticura 9o*p and oint ment. I used them nightly and almost imme diately I found th* desired results. First I would saaear the affected parts with Cuticura Ointment and leava same on my face for five minutes. Then I would wash my face thor ••ighly with Cuticura Soap and warm water. Aftar doing this for throe weeks I found my face fre*- from ptrni’t'— so.* -or an end I altgays use the Cutieura Soap now '* (Signed) Sydney Unger, Nor. 72. 1911. Cuticura Soap and Ointment are void everywhere. Sample of each mailed free, with 32-p book. Address. “Cutirura." T, Boston. Tender-fared men should ahavo with Cuticura Soap Shaving Stick. NEW TAILORS ON FORT STREET y i > % v\ (AJj, A >. Jr TOW HANKY. Haney A Dixon, anew tailoring firm, ure t sialiltshlng business ut tit Went Fort-St., opposite the postoffice. Both members of the firm are prac tical and experienced men in catering to the correct dresser among men. Mr. iiaosy la well known in Detroit. The new nrm will handle xtrletly high-cluss ci «ioni work i«t moderate prices, em ploy In# only the best of materials and workmanship, all work receiving tbeii personal supervision. Their display and rutting rooms have beer redecorated ami furnished, and the firms stock, which is a large one, comprises the products of the beet European und American mills. and in a good man. He Isn't bass wood —he's hickory. He went away from Lansing for a while after Lis financiar misfortune and later "came back" in more way than one. He buckled on his harness arid his arm r and "went to it.” He engaged in the real estate business and the timber land business and struggled to his feet\ He paid all of his debts —dollar for dollar. Not only that, but he mode another fortune for himself. Not only thut. but he played the game ot plillanthrnphy und won the admiration and affection of the people. President Moores Is an elderly in an now. but he is not the retiring kind and lie is actively ou the job as a man of business and a public-spirited citi zen. This story would be under the well-done point if it neglected to inuki more mention of the small and youthful hut "there-wlth-the-goods" secretary, Mr. Htambaugh. He is re ported as 22. but that isn’t his cali ber. He is 22 and short, but not “22- short " He's a "live one." And. say, when It conies to that cotne-in aud inako - your - self at-hotne and-have-u --good-time business, our young secre tary de luxe is a "peach.” A few win some words, a sunshine smile and a melting "glad hand” and he's got a fellow. Mr. Htambaugh has spent a dozen years in Lansing, which means most of ills life. He was at one time a currier boy on the State Journal and later accepted a position in the Capi tal National bank. He was a climber and lie reached the position of receiv ing teller. He was holding this place in the bank when tile Chamber of Commerce opportunity knocked at the door of his umbitlon and he told it to come in. Thin “boy" secretary has the symp toms of being a winner. I ansing is some city now v,*th its some thirty thousands of peo ple, automobile factories, capital ad vantages and beautiful streets and residences, but it is quite liable to be some more city as a result of the activities and hustling proclivities of its new Chamber of Commerce. As we said in the introduction or preamble, “our cities are what we make them," and the public-spirited, wise-headed, progressive and aggres sive citizens of lousing can make this city to enlarge its measure in all of the ways that are wortli while. This city's splendidly and alluring ly equipped Chamber of Commerce rooms offers food for thought among other peoples of other cities who have not made a similar venture but would like to get into the grow game.

The excise tax, so-called by the ways aud means committee, is in ef fect an Income tax. The bill is so drawn tnat it is expected to oomph writh the supreme court’s decision against the constitutionality of an in come tax. Its effect would be to tax every person who earns more than $6,000 a year on the excess of $5,000 at the rate of one per cent. The estimate of Chairman Under wood and members of the ways and means committee is that the proposed excise tax would bring In a revenue of betweeu $60,000,000 aud $00,000,000 a year. Placing sugar on the free list, the Democratic leaders estimate will re duce the price of sugar to the con sumer about a cent and a half a pound. The secret that members of the ways and means eomtnittee had been so closely guarding for several days was the provision to extend the cor poration tax. In the caucus that bill was nut seri ously opposed. The free sugar bill, however, was bitterly assailed by representatives from Louisiana, the cane sugar state, and representatives from sugar beet growing states, who were absolved from the bond of the caucus. No roll call on the ratification of the bills was demanded. Majority Leader Underwood an nounced that the bills would be re ported to the house in a few days. SEVEN MORE WARRANTS FOR LOAN SHARKS CoaliMued oa Page Sevea. agencies who tailed on Prosecutor Shepherd, Saturday morning, to com plain against the agents with whom they had been dealing, none told a more pitiful and astounding story than Mrs. Edith Lee, mother of five children, living at Mercer st., Windsor. She was accompanied by her eldest daughter, 15 years old. “Eight years ago, l borrowed SIOO from the Reliance U>an Cos., of Detroit/ said Mrs. Lee. “and since then I have been trying to pay the debt. It 1b still unpaid, although I have paid out over SI,OOO in trying to wipe it out. I was to pay $0.40 a month, but at times I had to pay as much as sll. In December, 1010, the Reliance company, pressing me for a balance, advised me to borrow SSO from the American company, across the hall from the Reliance. I did this and in this way got the SIOO debt paid up. Rut now lum iu debt with the American company. I have paid one payment of $9.40, which was to be the monthly installment on the American loan.” “Have the companies threatened you In any way?” the prosecutor asked Mrs. Lee. “Yes,” she said, “they come over to my house and threatened to take my furniture aud otherwise made It unpleasant for me.” “Well, now, Mrs. Lee.” said the prosecutor, sympathetically, “you go home and don't let this thing worry you. I’ll take care of it for you; you have paid too much already. One thousand dollars for a loan of $10"! Why, I never heard of such a thing!” Mrs. Lee told Mr. Shepherd she would gladly "vswear t« a warrant against the two companies. Upwards ol a dozen people called on the prosecutor in addition to Mrs. Lee. Each had much the same story to tell. They were all willing to pros ecute, and the prosecutor told them to stop paying the Illegal rate of Inter est. to tender the agencies the legal amount due and to have nothing more to do with them, lie kept their hook* and simply told them to reply to the agentji, if the latter wanted to knoy where they were, that the prosecutor had them. wsm - mSffm |||||H __ At 'Mm Ja / t 7* '?
