COST OF LIVING
pue to   Tarriff As
People Claim.
Many
The Same Old Story.
Francis McNamara, attorney of
Mt, Pleasant who is well known
here, has spent several months this
gummer touring in Europe and
naturally has mad'e.a study of, conditions in the old countries. In the
Mt. Pleasant Times.last week Mr.
McNamara gives hits views on some
things connected with-this ..matter.
He says in part:
'•The tariff is a yital living issue in
this campaign   and   one in   which
' every citizen Ib vitally interested.
J wage no war on the Democrat
Who Btill believes in & tarriff for revenue only. He is simply following
the principles which his party had
advocated, jn weal or woe, through
all the years'of the existence of this
.Republic. He cannot be accused of
inconsistency.
I wish, however, to ask the Republican voter this question: Do
you intend to vote a half vote for
Wilson'this year? Are.yon going-to
imperil the great prosperity, which
we are now enjoying, and which has
not yet reached its zenith, if the people do. not make a mistake on election day?
Two great countries, England and
Germany, are struggling for the mastery of Europe. Both are weighed
down with heavy taxation and the
maintenance of great fleets and
standing armies. One is enjoying
prosperity and were it not for the
upkeep of her nobility and army,
would lead the world. The other is
inthe slough of despond and condition of her worlhng people pitiable
in the extreme.
The student, who investigates the
subject at first hand cannot, but become convinced that the prosperity
of Germany is due, in the main to
her protective tariff and that the sdf-
fering of England is due, more than
anything else, to her suicidal tarriff
policy, the same which onr Democratic brethren have always advocated since the days of Jefferson.
The average daily Wage of the English laborer is less than a dollar a
day, the Irish laborer less than fifty
cents a day, with everything as dear
there as here, except intoxicating
liquors and labor.
Since the land question has been
j|tled in Ireland, I am in favor of
[ome Rule simply for one reason.
Home Rule will permit her statesmen, if they are wise enough, to pass*
Bome*tariff legislation that will upbuild and protect her manufacturing.
Now there is no manufacturing there.
There are no columns of, smoke by
day or pillars of fire by night, although Ireland possessed enough
water power to run the machinery
of the world.
Do not think for a moment tbat ,1
attribute the conditions of Ireland to
free trade alone. I simply wish to
show, aa I believe, the pathway to
her future prosperity.        ~.
Living is high here. This is true
in every European country. It cannot help be higher in the United
States now than it was ten years ago.
In ten years our population has increased 16,000,000 while the yield of
farm products has remained almost
stationary. In addition, the luxuries
of ten years ago have, become the
necessities of |oday. These are no
fanciful illusions.
Do you want a change? »
The cynic shakes his head -
And. talks of sordid days,
Of spreading money greed,
Of crooked men and ways.
How honor's bought and sold   -
For dollars and. for dimes,
And sadly hearkens back
Unto the good old times.
The good old times of yore,
For men were honest^lren
And did not plan to steal
•The goods of fellow men,
When*public good was goal—
And honesty was king,
When law was strong and just
And virtue everything.    ,
These modern times, they cry,
Deteriorated are.
More venal and corrupt
Than former days by tar.
'Tis true they do forget
In ages past our span „
Diogenes in vain
Searched for an honest man.      *

SWORN STATEMENT
t.
Now-
Required Of   AH   Newspaper Publishers,
mt. pleasant;
Interesting News Items from Mt.
Pleasant and Vicinity.
The Democratic spellbinders made
a tour of the county Tuesday of this
week. Mr.\Helme spoke at Shepherd
on Monday evening. ^ The attendance was light owing to the farmers
being so busy with beans and beets.
People are thinking a- good deal for
themselves.
Myers & Cooper managed the deals
between Mr. Zimmerman and Mr.
Vallance involving a consideration
of $20,000.   Tbey are hustlers.
Milk has risen to seven cents a
quart, shaves to fifteen cents. What
next?
The chicory plant has started and
many loads are being hauled. The
acreage is much larger than last
year. . v '
Prof. Ranch of Eokomo, Ind., has
been elected head of the music department at the Normal.
The bean crop is the cause of much
anxiety. Last Sunday and Monday
were good days and many loads were
hauled in.   Some will be.colored.
The Good Fellowship Glub met
Friday- evening. The supper waa
fine. The addresses by Bradfield
and Breese were refreshing indeed.
A number of persons went from
Mt. Pleasant to attend the fnneral of
Thos. MoGreggor of Denver on Tuesday ot this week. The funeral was
one of the largest seen in Isabella
Oo. He had held many township
offices and was a man of sterling
honesty.   Everybody liked him.      ^
A large number of Odd Fellows of
this county visited St. Louis on
Thursday to help(dedicate their new
building. Mt. Pleasant team did
some excellent degree work.
Onr readers will - be interested in
knowing that congress at its last session provided, among other things in
the postal laws and regulation's, that
all newspaper publishers must twioe
a year, not later than the first c"ay of
April and October, file with the local
postmaster a sworn statement setting
forth certain facts connected with tbe
paper. These will be indicated by
the affidavit below. This sworn statement must also be published in the
second issue after filing such statement. Iu tbe case of dailies, the
average circulation must also be included, We regret that this pro*
vision does not extend to weeklies
also. It would undoubtedly cause a
remarkable shrinkage in the circulation of some papers as now claimed
by tbeir publishers.
Another provision of the1-law requires publishers to mark, with the
word "Advertisement" any reading
matter published for which money or
other valuable consideration is paid,
accepted or promised."' A penalty
of from 850 to $500 is due any publisher who violates this statute; This
law is aimed at a definite evil and is
all right. How much good, if any, it
may accomplish remains to be seen.

The following was sent from
troit at the time of the Fair:
The Northeastern Michigan Development Bureau* is making a
splendid showing at the State Fair.
It has a comprehensive exhibit with
agricultural and horticultural products from every one of the 17 counties embraced in the territory, and
the wonderful diversity of our showing is an educator of great value.
The ignorance of outsiders concerning Northeastern Michigan is
beyond comprehension, and. one can
only realize it by, hearing the questions which are propounded to those
in charge cf the-exhibit. As an
educational proposition eradicating
false ideas, showing pur splendid
accomplishments and yet greater
opportunities,- the exhibit is. doing
great work.
Every manner of root atfd vegetable is on display, a great variety of
clover, alfalfa, wheat, barley and
similiar grains, both in the seed and
straw, together with apples bf many
varities, which make a tempting' display, .as well as pears, plums and
grapes show what we can do in fruit
raising. An attractive array of
fruitc- in glass is no small feature.
Surrounding the whole of the large
space which the. Bureau occupies is a
neat white picket fence, having for a
top rail a display of seeds and grains
-contained in a shallow tray about
eight inches wide, cov'ere*cTwith plate
glass. This feature has attracted
much favorable comment? .,*

A Kind Burglar.
Of late John Maver has bad   placards displayed in his store bearing-
such I.egendB as "Cost Bale"  "Goods
going regardless of cost," etc.    Evidently some kind  hearted man has
realized that Mr. Maver is being put
to considerable trouble in reducing
the stock and that perhaps the goods
were not Tnoving as   fast   as they
should, so a little help-might be appreciated.   Anyway he proceeded to
kick a basement window into smithereens on Tuesday night and through
that opening went into tbe basement
and up into the store.   As winter is
coming on, he appropriated  several__
suits of clothes and a number of hats. "
Being of an esthetic turn  evidently
and wishing to adorn  his person in '
becoming style, a quantity of jewelry
was appropriated.    To > get out  of
town in proper shape, the contents
of the cash drawer (only a few dollars   fortunately)   was   taken.     "Of
course this last saved Mr, Maver all
the trouble of counting the money
the next morning and was very kind
on the part pf the visitor.
Whether the goods really left town
or not is a matter of conjecture. It
is barely possible that they are still
here in possession of some "undesirable citizen" who has not yet
learned proper discrimination as to
the ownership of property.   .

Everyone should bear in mind that
a rich treat awaits ns on Saturday
evening, November 16, when ex Gov.
J. Frank Hanley'of Indiana will
deliver his celebrated lecture on
"The Patriotism of t Peace," Mr.
Hanley.is one of the best speakers
on the lecture platform today, and
this lecture has been delivered to
hundreds of crowded houses who
had nothing for it but words of
praise.
By the way, just bear in mind that
•there is to be furnished our citizens
tbis season a course of four numbers
that cannot be surpassed. It will
consist of two lectnres and two concerts by artists of • first class . type.
There is not one of these entertainments that would' not cost
a straight-dollar in any city, yet season tickets for the entire course will
•be sold for the absurdly low price of
one dollar. There should be at least
300 course tickets readily sold. The,
committee will arrange for a systematic canvass of the city soon, and
all should promptly secure tickets.
Doubtless there will be a large number in the surrounding country who
will take season tickets. There is no
possible reason Why a good lecture
course should not be maintained
here. .        ■ ■>

We regret that press of work prevented onr getting even a peep at
the County Fair at Harrison last,
week. The weather the first two-
days was ideal, something rather remarkable thii year. The third day,
however, waa rainy and doubtless
kept many from attending. Notwithstanding "{this, we are informed
that the society will get out even.
The officers are to be congratulated if
they accomplished such a result as
that this fall. In all directions one
hears of fairs that were left "In the
hole.""by reason of the almost constant rains.      ^ -
We [hear that the exhibits were
very creditable and the fair, all
things considered, a reasonable success. The officers worked hard and.
are entitled to mu'oh credit for their
efforts.
The following officers were elected
for next year: President, Thomas Mc
