Present Policy Not Satisfactory to Many of
Best Farmers, Who Believe County Able -
to Make Model Fariji.
The attention of the board of
supervisors .yillO-Oubtless.be called
this year to the desirability of
establishing a county farm in the
true sense of the word. There is no
criticism of the superintendents of
the poor nor of the board of supervisors for repeated renewals of the
policy established so many years
ago, because until .vitbin recent
years all were not convinced that
the present county farm was susceptible of practical cultivation at a
profit, hence it has become a custom
to rent the farm for a nominal sum,
pay for the board of the inmates
and keep the expenditures within
the lowest possible range. Con-
di-ioTns have changed to tbe extent
that Clare county has for several
years past won notable blue ribbons
at th& state fair upon its exhibits,
and has demonstrated to the state
its ability to cope with most ofthe
counties in the matter Of agriculture
and fruit growing.
Contrasted with this showing is a
county farm, rented, at $150 per
year, and the Keeper paid by the
week for boarding the Inmates,
Beyond annual expenditures for
stumping and fencing, nothing! has.
been done to either stock the farm
or place it in a condition to produce
for the county. In the light of
present conditions THE CouiUbb
believes this policy wrong, and
such opinioii is largely based upon
the expressed opinions,, of many of
the best farmers of the county It
is time to commence to farm it in
the right way. If the present farm
is sufficiently fertile to warrant additional expenditures in the way of
properly stocking and ' fitting for
agricultural purposes, let it be done,
and soon. If not, then buy a farm
somewhere in the county that can
be made into a farm that will meet
the growing needs.
Clare is a growing county; its
development has been the wonder
of the people ot central-Michigan
for many years past, antf it should
bo disclosed to the world that the
county, as a county, has such interest in its further development
that it will not hesitate to proceed
with the establishment of a farm
that can well and truly be called a
county farm. The time has arrived
to do away with the countv boarding house, and many of the progressive citizens of the oounty will
welcome such action by the board
of supervisors at its October session as will set the wheels in motion
toward the establishment of a farm
that is a farm. I
Twenty-Epii District Once More Escapes
Awful Gaiamity Which tiie Election of
a Democrat Would Have Caused.
•Another Glorious Victory   for  the Grand
Old Party on Tuesday, and the   Con
Games' a Go,
The smoke of Tuesday's battle
has cleared away, and the clash of
ballots, disclosed that the struggle
for control of the great con game
which opens in Lansing next month
has been one more of those triumphs
for the only real friends of good
government, the Bepublicans!
To be sure, in this district the
Democrats did not make any attempt to b-'eakin upon-the claim of
the majority party to have and to
hold every job In sight, (and the
right tomake new jobs when all the
old ones are filled) • but there was
fear in the boots of many of tbe
faithful lest the awful minority
should stuff the ballot box or com'
mit" some, dire act wheyeby the co»
stitution might not be properly
revised, '
If the vote polled In Glare was In
proportion as to number cast in the
remainder of the district, above one-
fourteenth of the electorate has
chosen the delegates to the convention. In one ward of this city even
the election board refused to vote.
Seriously, the result throughout
nearly the entire state was a farce,
and veyy largely because' -of the
fact that the movement to revise
the constitution was made a partisan one. The framers of the measure probably now realize that even
a vast majority of the Republicans
have no sympathy with such politics. Beturns will show that Olare
couuty has' probably polled less
than 160 votes. In this city the
total number was twenty-three, and
several of those promise to contribute the "Skidoo" next spring
when the new constitution comes
up for approval.
That the reader may see the official figures In this, the home city of
so many famous citizens of. Michigan, we give the vote by wards:
