Can Decide Whether They Want
Saloons   Continued.
The board of supervisors bus done
its part in respoi^e to tbe request of
the people and now it is up to the
voters to decide whether they want
oar county longer disgraced hy the
present condition of ail hits and h
laughing stock 'o all   our   neighbors
One thing it seems to us must render the decision very simp!? Xo
man canclaim t hat heisignorant of the
kind of work the saloon accomplishes. To he sure the man in the country knows only a small part of the
filth and the cussedness resulting
from tbis, but he knows enough that
there need be no hesitation in bis decision. Every prediction of evil
made by those wbo opposed the return of the saloons has been more than
verified. Every promise of betterment made by saloon advocates has
been shown to be absolutely false.
The leopard does not change his
spots over nigbt and everywhere and
always the saloon is a moral pest
house,   contaminating all it touches.
Two years ago there may have
been a shadow of excuse for some in
voting for tbe return of the saloons.
Possibly some had never lived in a
community cursed witb saloons.
Some'people have abort memories.
Many were disgusted with thelax enforcement of tbe local option iawand
concluded that jumping out of the
frying pan into the fire would at least
afford a change. No man can justly
claim now that he does not know.
The question is not one of theory but
one of fact. Drunkenness is so common tbat it attracts no attention
whatever. The disgusting spectacle
ot two or three men staggering
around at tbe depot is of frequent
occurrence. We believe it is no exaggeration to say that tbere were
more drunken men in this city during the first two day9 of the saloon
than there had been during the entire five years of the dry regime.
Men addicted to drink in the former
saloon days and who had lived sober
lives during tbe dry years have again
been drawn into the whirlpool: and,
worst of all, boys that in ail human
probability would never have touched
a drop have been drawn in and
taught tbe drinking babit.
During tbe campaign we shall  have
occasion to notice various   phases   of
this question   and   our   columns   will
be    open   for    brief   communications
from any of our readers.     Any   mac
who thinks tbe saloon a blessing can
have space without money and   without price to explain   the   grounds   of j
his    faith.      We   don't   want   him   to '
teli   us   what   great   benefits   it   con- j
ferred   on    Podunk,     Mo.      Nobody ;
knows  about     Podunk.     Everybody j
here knows about Clare and vicinity, j
Just name one benefit tbat bas   come !
by reason cf the saloons.      Everyone j
knows the curse.    Does anyone know
anything else?

GREAT CARE
Necessary In Selection   of Seed1
Beans.
The Agricultural college is sending]
out a bulletin warning farmers to use |
great care  in   tbe  selection   of  seed j
for the bean crop of next jear.    The '
season   this   year   bas   been    an    unusually   bad   one.      A   much    larger
proportion of beans are   likely   to be
diseased,   yet   the  higher   price  will
cause   a   tendency   to plant diseased
stock.
As these unfavorable conditions
have been quite gsneral over the
state, the best thing that anyone can
do is to secure seed from some one
in the locality who had a field that

SUNDAY-SCHOOL
Convention At   Farwell Was
A Success.
SEVENTEEN  SCHOOLS
Represented  By   Delegates   And
Visitors.
We were not able to attend tbe
Sunday School convention at Far-
well on Thursday cf last week, but
hear many good things said respecting it. «In thd maiii tne program as
published was carried out. thot'Kh
sotr-e were necessarily absent and
their    part    was     taken    by   others.
At Grand Rapids, where she had
lived for the past two years, occurred
tbis week the death of Mrs. Frances
Wilson, mother of John H. Wilson of
the firm of Wilson-Davy Co.
The funeral is held at 10 o'clock today at Big Rapids where she had
lived for nearly forty years. The
husband has been dead for some
time. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Wilson
bad been with her since Saturday.
The rest cf tbe family motored
through this morning for the funeral
services.
HORSE KICKS LOOSE
Eugene Allen   Has   Lively Time
Week   Ago.
Last Friday evening about 7:30 as
Eugene Allen, who works for Dustan
Hampton, was coming round the
corner at State street into town, his
horse was taken with a sudden spell
of kicking, splintering up tbe front
end of the carriage, tossing Mr. Allen
out upon his head. He plunged and
ran into the auto of J. E. Doherty
which stood at his curb, where the
horse tore himself loose, running
down McEwan St. tothe O'Callagban
barn.
The back end of tbe car was some- j
what damaged   but   the   occupant   of
the   buggy   escaped   without   serious
injury, we understand.

that every possible effort will be pat
