G1TIZEHS' COMMITTEE
Gives The Public Some Results
Of Its Investigation,
Editor of the Olare Sentinel;
With all sorts of rumors afloat regarding the recent visit of the local
Option delegation to the governor,
•we feel that in justice to all interested a statement of the facta should be
made to the publio,
In the first place we wish to state
that the reports in the public press
that thia investigation was instigated
through spite or aa a matter of revenge is an absolute falsehood-
The Poulson case behind which
certain delinquent, officers are endeavoring to hide is of small consequence to the committee, and will
not begin to cover the multitude of
official sins, and is of too recent date
to make Its consideration anything
but an absurdity, "A drowning man
■clutches at a straw."
Ten months ago this community
was horrified by the shocking death
of one Pearl Calkins. Circumstances surrounding his death indicated
that somebody was criminally responsible. He was drunk when he
was killed, He procured his liquor
In tbis "well regulated (?)" local
option city. Two whiskey Dottles
were picked up with his mutilated
remains, and a third bottle taken
from his person when the doctor
arrived on the scene. Was anybody
brought to trial for this crime? Did
a jury ever get opportunity to pass
judgement on the case? Was the
druggist implicated? Was not the
broken-hearted mother's sworn testimony utterly ignored? The outraged sense of justice rankles still in
the hearts of all decent people- who
are acquainted with the details of
this case. Bid the prosecutor impress the community as being in
earnest? Is he proud of his record
here? When a biased jnstice of the
peace refuses to indict does that
nullify jnstice? Has another court
any jurisdiction? We wish to say
that this ease of prostituted justice
is where the complaint to the governor took root.
The investigating committee has
been watching events in this "well
regulated (?)" town ever since.
That a similar tragedy has not been
enacted almost weekly from that
time to the present, has been a matter of Providence rather than innocence on the part of the doctors and
druggists and officials. More than
one drunk has lugged off a quart
from the same Bource poor Calkins
did his, these watchful and faithful
officials to the contrary notwithstanding.
The .Pray law which came into
effect on Angnst 15th may be mentioned as having important bearing
on the time of tbis investigation.
Two glorious public sprees were
planned and pulled off just following
this date. We refer to the Carnival
and the race meet. An examination
of the records at the R. R. express
offices revealed the fact that the
druggiBts had provided for a mammoth thirst or for an epidemic of
heart palpitation by laying in about
10 barrels of whiskey. Anyone, even
the prosecutor, can see that into thia
startling condition of affairs it was
not necessary to inject a 62 lb, truant
to give an investigation impetus.
A representative of the Detroit
Free Press interviewed Bowler under
date of October 30th in which he
(Bowler) is credited as saying, that
"there has not been an intoxicated
person arrested here in more than
two months and not one drunk has
appeared on the streets in that time."
Didn't Bowler know that on October
25th several young men were implicated in a burglary of the P. M. depot, when a quantity of liquor was
stolen, and that two ot them were
taken to the justice court on Monday
and given a nominal fine for being
drunk? Didn't Bowler know that
an indiari had been locked up for
being druuk and disorderly a few
weeks since. It is still fresh in the
minda of some of Us that a farce
hearing of eight drunks was conducted sot long ago.ia the oiby ball,
ie maybe Bowler forgot. The mar-
flhalvpith Whom the prosecutor Is
slightly (?) acquainted remarked not
two weeks ago to one of the undersigned that the town had better be
wet than toexist in its present disorderly condition.
Tb$ investigating committee based
their appeal to the Governor oft facts
which they dug out of the records ia
tha prosecutors office. Inorlminat-
S8g facts which should bate started
« eerlae of prosecutions weeks ago,
had this officer dons bis duty in conformity With M» oath of offict.

Evidently Good Stuff.
E. A. Anderson, the druggist, took
a trip through the country last week
along with a representative of the
firm which manufactures the live
stock -conditioner known as
Vet." As a result'of the trip,
tons and a half of Sal "Vet were sold
to the fanners of this   vioinity.
Mr, Anderson bas bandied this
medicinal stock remedy for some
time, and introduced it to the people
round about Glare through a series
of advertisements in the Sentinel
early last spring. Both advertising
and remedy seem to have brought

MARRIED AT ALMA,
Miss Pearl Dwyer Becomes Wife
of Forest Hilt Man.
At 12:30 o'clock on Saturday, October 25, Miss Pearl Dwyer, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. J. Dwyer of
this city was united in marriage to
Carl W, Lanshaw of Forest Hill.
After the ceremony a five course
wedding breakfast was served at the
home of Mr, and Mrs. F. W, Buggies
of Alma. Ihe couple then took the
train for Big Rapids which will be
their home.
Miss Dwyer has for the past four
years acted as stenographer for the
Mich. Produce Oo. and is of course
well known here. Her many friendB
unite in wishing them happiness.
To Correspondents.
Owing to the supervisors' proceedings, a few letters that came in last
had to pe put over till next week.
We regret this very much and trust it
may not be necessary again. We appreciate the letters very much and
tbank all sincerely.
We submit the following facts for
the consideration of the law abiding
citizens of Olare Oounty.
1 That between August 15 and
October 18, 1913 Mussell & Son received by freight and express eight
barrels of whiskey.
That B. A. Anderson received during the same period one barrel, five
peases, and ten dozen pints.
That J. W. Dunlop has received
during two weeks following October
4 three boxes of whiskey (135 pounds)
also one barrel of whiskey,'
2 That'the prosecutor's files show
that Mussell & Son sold in tbe above
period 1271 pints of intoxicating
liquor; that E. A. Anderson has sold
497 pints; that J. W. Dunlop sold in
twelve days ending Oct. 18,135 pints.
3 That in the above period Dr. W.
F. Clute issued 744 perscriptions for
intoxicating liquor; tbat Dr, A. R.
Mussell issued 417 perscriptions, that
Dr. J. W. Dunlop issued 426 prescriptions.
4 That the committee made a tabulated list of about 30 cases where
men addicted to intoxicating liquor
had secured whiskey in what we consider unreasonable and illegal quantities. One man receiving during
that period 33%" pints, one 35 pints
another 29 pints and so on.
5 The prosecutor's records "show
that the doctors and druggists have
furnished liquor repeatedly to Indians
and on several occasions to a minor.
This is but a record of about two
months, covering the period in which
the prosecutor is quoted as saying
that there hasn't been an intoxicated
person arrested and that Olare is one
of the best regulated towns in Michigan. What would the record be for
the prosecutors full term in proportion? He confessed to the committee
that the records were so bulky that
he was oblidged to remove them to
the farm and store them in the granary. What kind of damnable evidence the old granary holds, God
only knows.
What successful prosecution under
the local option law can he point to
j during his term of ofllce?
The prosecutor has maintained
that under the present law the drng-
gist was protected by any prescription from a doctor.
He has also admitted ignorance of
the looal option law on other occasions and stated before several witnesses that he had not searched the
filed records for violations as the
committee were doing.
A competent prosecuting attorney
in a local option county would have
informed himself in these matters.
Some people think we made a mid-
take in implicating the mayor and
the sheriff. While we admit the prosecutor is   the greatest Stumbling

,Miss Chamberlain also with the
Stevens Concert Company is a pianist and whistler of rare ability. Her
whistling, like the finest of instrumental music, is a song without

the songs of all blrdB with absolute
fidelity.       "
Miss Editb Welsh, also with the

Delightful Party.
(Prom Farweli Correspondent.)
Mrs. E. (J. Lamb entertained about
35 ladies on Friday afternoon Octj
31st, in honor of her grandmother,
Mrs. Smedley, who on that day
reached her eighty-first mile stone.*
The afternoon was very pleasantly
spent, the guests were regaled with a
delicious luncheon, a mammoth birthday cake containing eighty-one lighted candles was in evidence.
"Grandma" as she is called by
nearly all, received a goodly number
of useful and pretty gifts as tokens of
love and esteem making a very pretty
speech of thanks, after which the
ladies departed wishing the good lady
many more happy years.

block to the enforcement of the law,
the sheriff and mayor are by no
means innocent, inasmuch as they
had good reasons to believe that the
law was being grossly violated and
had taken their oath to enforce it.
It was reported that the committee
had asked the Governor for . the removal of these officers, The committee placed the evidence procured
from the prosecutor's office before
the governor and requested that
these officers be apprehended by his
Excellency and dealt with as law and
justice require.
We asked for an investigation and
it was granted, and in addition to
this we were given to understand that w e would b e again
received should occasion warrant
further complaint.
We do not believe conditions necessitate the removal of the mayor*"
We believe that inasmuch as he
promised that the liquor traffic
should be suppressed during his administration, and that inasmuch as
it has become more flagrant since
his election that he needs prodding
from some source of dignified authority to get busy. His failure as chief
of police to apprehend and bring the
vi61ators of the liquor law to a waiting justice has weakened our confidence in his intentions to make good
his promises.
With a governor like Ferris in the
executive chair, a governor who believes in the dignity of the law and
the protection of the commonwealth,
officials who wink at bootlegging and
try to bluff law abiding citizens, are
going to be called. We have God,
and law and righteousness on our
side, and believe" that right will win.
Since the enactment of the Pray law
Which went into effect Aug. 15, we
have the best means of acertaining
evidence that the state has ever given
us.
We ask that all decent citizens of
the county-refuse to sign petitions to
bring the grog-shops back into Clare
County. y
We appeal to you men, in the name
of humanity to give us a chance
under this new law to enforce prohibition. 4
We axe in the fight to stay. And
we mean that bootleggerB, whether
doctors or druggists will have a rooky
road to travel in the future.

AUCTIONS
Sentinel's Value As Advertising
Medium Recognized.
More and more people are coming
to see that they cannot afford to trust
to bills alone in advertising an auction. Not only is the newpaper way
a hundred times more effective, but
it Is much cheaper when time Is considered. Of course* the -advertising
must be in a paper of extended circulation to reach all the surrounding
country.
Two sales are advertised this week
to be cried by Col.'Ward. Both have
very fair lists of property and should
attract a good crowd of buyers.

The Committee's Report.
We give considerable Bpace this
week to the committee, of citizens
which has for some days been investigating liquor shipments and sales
here. As it has been telegraphed
from here to some of the Detroit
dailies that the committee was actuated simply by spite and carrying tbe
inference tbitfc really there are no
grounds for any such investigation,
we deem that justice to the committee demands tbat they have an opportunity to let the public know what
they found.

Receipts Show Little Decrease,
Washington.—Although the new
tariff act with its lowered rates of
duty has been in effect practically a
month, the customs receipts have so
far shown little falling OS. According to the treasury Statement Novem->
beri, the customs receipts for.Octo*
ber amounted to $30,138,000, just
about $80,000 less than those Of October, 1912. Th3 deficit for the fiscal
year to date, the statement shows, is
$5,757,627, about ?3,900,000 more than
the deficit at.the corresponding period
last year.
Pension payments'under the Sherwood act are apparently largely responsible for the larger deficit.
The payments, in 1912 through October amounted to about, $52,500,000
and .tor the same period this year
nearly 157,000,000, an increase of
mora than ¥4,000,000 In this one
