It might work Charge of $9275 WM for Whole Year as Regent Not Simply During Con Con To the Editor: I 'notice in your valuable paper of the 5th Inst the following: "Objection Raised to Expense Account Lex 1 Barbour of Detroit another member of the constitutional con vention has been allowed for expenses' as a regent of the State university covering a period when the constitutional convention was in session" The same objection is raised to this claim as to the one presented by Mr IJIlie viz that he supposed to be in attend ance upon the convention and can not be presumed to have been else where on duties for the state in an entirely different This charge looks like The fact is that the $9275 was my entire bill tor expenses during a fexv more davs than the whole of niy last year of service as regent of tlie university only $960 of the amount xvas incurred for expenses during the term of the convention and they were entirely separate and distinct from any expenses conn'ect ed directly or indirectly with tho convention Nor is there any ques tion of a per diem for re gents of tlie university are allowed no compensation whatsoever for their services Moreover xvas excused from the convention for the purpose of attending the meet ings of the board of regents Novem ber 16 and December 13 the only two occasions xvhen the expenses were incurred above referred to I understand that the information for this charge emanated from the office of the attorney general do not suppose that it will be claimed that even if the items ot expanses incurred during the sitting of the convention technically ought not to be alloxved the other items incurred during the whole year should be disallowed The statement that the $9275 was for expenses a when tlie constitutional convention was in is quite untrue for It covered a whole expenses To say the least of it the attorney office is very unjust to make a statement for publication throughout tlie state so variant from the facts may be too Sensitive to a charge of especially tn connection with the university: but if you will give this denial the same prom inence you did the charge shall be very much obliged ft ft shall be determined that I am" not en titled to the $960 because of tlie reason given by tlie attorney gen eral I am able and shall be per fectly xvilling to refund it to the state treasury hut the whole af fairs seems to me to be straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel very easy especially if as am in formed the state machine was con vened at the time of a recent con vention and the bills of the several commissioners etc paid out of state funds LEVI BARBOUR On the eleventh of June 1805 just five months after Gov appointment a tire broke out at mid day in the midst of the town of Detroit and when darkness settled down upon the world the whole town was one vast scene of smouldering ruins and tbe entire population were homeless Within the limits of the stock ade one small rench built dwelling house on Ste Anne street and a large brick storehouse al most in range standing below near the river were all that remained of the city During the conflagration the utmost panic and confusion prevailed The flames raged xvith such fury as to defy all control urniture once removed was soon ed by the advancing tire and as a last resort chairs bedsteads and suchOther articles as xvould not be thus injured were sunk in the river as the only means of saving tjiem from the flames Every skiff and canoe was employed in conveying clothing and other easily removed valuables across the river Two larger vessels werein port but they were ob liged to drop down the river for their own safety The day after the destruction of Detroit the governor and other territorial officers arrived A sad spectacle presented itself to the astonished gaze of these newly appointed dignitaries In stead of a flourishing town growing rich by a lucrative5 trade with the Indians they found only a wide spread waste of still smoking ruins The inhabitants suddenly impoverished and greatlv discouraged were gathered on the com mon within the range of the guns of the fort with no other abiding place than cloth tents or rude huts erected from such materials as they could obtain The1 little children and the sick and aged had found refuge among hospitable I farmers on both sides of the river I This catastrophe gave to Detroit its city I motto meliora resurget and its present street plan modeled after that of Washington which replaced the old tive street plan of the original rench ment Those who controlled the destinies town during the years immediately succeeding the American occupancy are often stigmatized as unprogressive but there must have been something about them worthy of admiration Thev were at any rate same spirit' that inspired Chicago 70 years later and Galveston still later and with even greater handicaps than hampered those cities they resolutely set to work to rebuild their ruined town It is a spirit that still inspires Detroit has risen from ashes it continues in times discouragement as well as of prosperity hope for better things SUBSCRIPTION TERMS BY CARRIERS lOc 5c DR DAY'S HANDICAP IN HIS RIENDS Chancellor Day of Syracuse university seems to be unlucky in his friendships When his bitter attacks on President Roose velt were published it generally surmised that he was influenced by his close relations with certain financial magnates Now it is reported that John Archbold of the Stand ard Oil Co is behind hint in his contest with Dr William Kent who Is not disposed to his summary dismissal by the chan cellor from the deanship of the college of applied sciences The utterances concerning the president xx ere matters of public concern but the con troversywith the

this is true there will be general commendation of the suggestion to Dr Day that he may a vacation for eight months or as much longer as he sees fit The case illustrates very well the peril all public

hiannhr felt devoted the day to paying tribute to the children of the nation There is something very appropriate in the I idea Most national holidays commemorate past action some achievement of men dead and gone for long years Norway sets the example of rejoicing in what is yet to be done and typifies a forecast of the future in its children who must make the most of that fu ture for the nation national life is yet to be lived Through a very large part of the historical era she has been an adjunct for Denmark or Sweden and in spite of the thrilling deeds of the vikings and the Norsemen her people have not made their country prominent in theworld Now all is to be different the Nor wegians believe and hereafter there will be a real Norway The children will do what forebears left undone Wherefore they make a holiday Over here we reverse the process We'make the holiday because of famous things our lathers have done And the children make the day their own Our ourths of July our Memorial days even the yearly holiday for prayer and thanksgiving have all been seized for their own purposes by the younger genera tion for their own spoHs and enjoyment and all the elders are permitted to do is to sit on the bleacher and watch the children Young America needs no one to make holi days for him He is entirely capable of doing it for Youngsters who have that much initiative
