On Sunday last the' New York Times
began the  publication of the inside
story of Woodrow Wilson's career in
.public life, beginning with his nomination loj governor of New Jersey in
1910.   The story is written by Joseph
P.. Tumulty, priyate secretary to Governor  apd  President  Wilson  during
the, entire period of his service.   The
author tells ot his personal oppdsition
.   to the"" nomination 'of the Princeton
head for the governorship under the
ntis'taken idea* that  Dr.  Wilson  was
representative only of the corporate
interests of the state, and which at
that timeh'ad a stranglehold upon the
leadership of both party organizations
He relates that he was entirely converted.to Wilson's independence, and
-convinced of-, .his high ideals by,the
speech of acceptance made, to the convention by the nominee.   The narra-
«    tion, then goes into the inner secrets
and'trials of the President, and among
the   first  misunderstandings   cleared
away are the reasons why Col, Roosevelt   and   General   Wood ,Nwere   not
placed at the head of Divisions going
over -seas during the WcJrld War. The
contention was at the time bitterly
insisted upon by the enemies of the
President that politics alone was the
cause.   Secretary Tumulty tells numerous incidents in connection with tho
personal interviews both the Colonel
and the .General'had with the President upon the subject and insists that
nt no time was there evidence' of other
than a perfect as-Well as a satisfactory understanding. -He contends that
in naming General Pershing for supreme command the President made
it clear that he would in no way interfere with the selection of staff or
field   officers,   and   that   expecting
Pershing  to   make   good  he   should
have an absolutely free hand to name
'those who Were to serve under him.
Pershing   at   once   determined   that
none but officers in the service and-
thoroughly trained should he taken to
^77^^iJ£paife.   This necessarily eliminated
reason for the tailtire - of General
Wood ib embark tor the field ot-action is given -except that at the last
moment/and when General Wood was
■ready to embark General Pershing
ordered the division to be placed
under another command. The easy
and entertaining manner in which the
author records these interesting and
instructive annals of Wilson's career,
and the entire lack of any apparent
desire to either shield mistakes or
over-estimate accomplishments insures confidence that the story will
be of intense interest throughout.
The publication by the Times will occupy 3'7 'days, after which it will appear in book form.
J. B. Laughlin, of Saginaw, has returned to Glare after' an absence of
eight years, to op*,en the Clare Cut
Rate Store. • .    .
Mr. Laughlin will be well remeiu:
bered by his many friends on account
of his previous connections here With
Hole-In-The-Wall Gardiner, when they
operated one of the most popular'little Stores in Clare.
Mr. Laughlin has. formed a partnership with W. A. Rosberry after an
association of several years, and this
team ot live wires will form the unusual combination of Laughlin " &
Roseberry.
The Clare Cut Rate Store will* be
located in the Dunlop block, on Fifth
Street,- and will open Saturday," November 12, with a diversified line of
electrical supplies, auto accessories,
mechanics' tools, phonographs and
records, work clothing, grocery specials, etc.
With Clare's reputation as a good
shipping center, this .enterprising
firm will undoubtedly mqjte a success
in our city.

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE
SAVES MANY LIVES
Lansing, Nov. 6.—Since 1910, when
the first Christmas seal was sold in.
Michigan, a total of 2,210. lives have
been saved in this state that "would
have been sacrificed to tuberculosis if
the death rate of 1910 had prevailed
since then. The death rate in tliat
year was 97.6 per 100,000 population.

school under the direction of a committee of- eighteen of the leading busi-
ness_ and professional men of the city,
Tlie entertainment is' furnished . by
the .Inter-State Lyceum.Bureau which
has been exceptionally successful
with a new plan of offering a lyceum
course. Instead of- maintaining fifteen
or twenty different attractions from
which selections (at varying prices)
can be made by the local "committee,
they have made up a Standardiled
course — just five attractions. Evei[|f
city obtains the same five numbers at
the same price. This affords great
economy and permits the putting on
of an all-star course at a price which

Where the line shall be drawn as
to the power of the Government to
interfere with individual rights is
one which has never been settled to
the satisfaction of everybody and
probably never will. Encrouchment
upon the liberty guaranteed under the
Constitution is a serious thing, and
the Government has never failed to
guard against possible violations of
individual freedom, so long as such
freedom does not infringe upon the
rights of others. A striking example
of the hesitancy of even the highest
authorities to venture beyond safe
lines in dealing with this subject has
been afforded by Congress in the conduct of an investigation of the Ku
Klux Klan. Popular opinion ot this
secret society would have justified
Congress in promptly ordering the
suppression of the organization and
the arrest and incarceration of its
official heads. An investigation was
begun and continued for several days,
with the reputed heads of the Klan as
witnesses. When it was evident that
no positive proofs of criminal acts
were obtainable the investigation was
abruptly terminated and the' statement given out that it would not be
renewed unless new and positive evidence .of crime was forthcoming. Appreciating , the danger involved the
committee of Congress discontinued
its inquiry rather than subject itself
to the censure Which unjustified action would have occasioned.
The reading public will.easily recall
the countless, cqjumns of reputed "inside".news of the Paris, Peace Conference, which filled the'pages of the
daily press and were reviewed in endless extenr by the magazines and
periodicals of less frequency of publication during those long months
when the World Was looking to that
conference for the final settlement of
four years of war. While each writer
based his story upon what he-claimed
to be entirely dependable information,
'.there were as many-angles as there
■were stories. Each writer based his
convictions upon a particular phase
of the deliberations and as a result
,the narratives usually reached entirely different conclusions^ Today
there opens in Washington the Conference for the Reduction of Armament, afad in the eyes of the World it

satisfaction. In fact, "several here in
Clare'liave-heard Dr. Lowther and all
say he is an exceptionally fine speaker.
We mention this as an illustration of
the quality of the course.
The Sterling Male Quartette, who
open the course here two weeks from
tonight, are a group of artists of long
experience. The first tenor is Robert
W. McBride. He has one of the finest
tenor voices in lyceum work. Walter
Van Dyke is second tenor and pianist.
He has studied both in New York City
and in the middle west and has had
stage and concert experience in addition to his work with the Sterling
Quartette. Arthur Martin is the baritone. Mr. Martin comes from England, where he has sung in oratorio
■ind church work, and has sung widely in concert in this country. William
A. Vickland is the bass and entertainer. He is said to be a whole show-
in himself. He was with the Otter-
beln Quartette years ago and Is one
of the best known and best liked
quartette men in the field today.
The Schubert Ladies' Quartette are
said to possess a musicianship that
places them in the foremost rank of
concert companies. Corelli Carter,
the leader and soprano, has toured
more than thirty states in the last two
years. Helen Trover plays second
violin, Grace Dye cello and piano,
while Ruth Holden is pianist and
reader. They have attractive personalities and are equally expert whether
they sing, play or entertain.
Mr.  Arthur  Irwin  presents  a program in two parts, the first being impersonations, the  second magic.    He
believes in the Law of Laughter.  Mr.
Irwin  was two years  With  the Radcliffe   Chautauqua   Bureau   and   has
been   three   years   with   his   present
managers, so he has apparently been
giving satisfaction as an entertainer.
A Hawaiian   Quartette  consists  of
three men and one woman:   soprano,
two tenors and baritone.   The wierd
music of the Islands with the accompaniment of steel guitar and ukeleles
always has a fascination for even the
musically* untutored.   The J. Lani Pa
Quartette   combine   entertainment
with an educative feature, part of the
program being a study of the origin of
Hawaiian music.   The leader, Mr. Pa,
is a graduate of the Oaku College of
Honolulu, has attended the University
of California and has been a special
teacher   at  the   Ziegfield   College   of
Music, Chicago.
Dr. Lowther-has already been mentioned. His phenomenal success has
been due to many factors—the 'greatness of his subject matter, his brilliant thinking, splendid rhetoric, marvelous imagery, -wonderful word-
painting, entertaining illustrations.
He has a pleaaing manner, an engaging -perionality and a voice rich, mellow and full. ■ j
The Inter-State Lyceum Bureau is
so confident that these numbers will
give satisfaction that they offer a
money-back guarantee. Tne contract
reads as follows:
