Editor Clare Sentinel..    ,
'"My dear' Editor;—Permit me thron
the columns ot your esteemed Sentinel out of the spirit ot fairness, to
Bay a word in favor of those who had
tha misfortune or the good fortune
to   vote   against    the   amendment
providing    tor    woman*  .^sutfrage.
There  is one thing certain that my
wife shall never vote and there are
a, host of-eitizens in Michigan and I
cannot consider   them    the*1  more
stupid, who preferred  their wives
without the franchise.    Polities and
corruption   are     pratically     syno-
noraous terms.     Everywhere   they
are called into action, they Bmaok of
beer find bar room  arguments and
tactics of prejudice, lies, calumnies)
treachery, hoodie   and bribe.    No
character too sacred not to be vilified
and no principle too low. not to resort to in order that a candidate may,
win, and the politician in the general
accepted sense  of the -word is, at
least in my estimation, one of the
most contemptible characters in our
every«day Hf® and history.   It was
consequently not then, so   much a
question whether women were unfit
for politics, but rather that politics
were* unfit for women.. It was not
-whether woman was not good enough
for politics but that politics were not
good enough for them.   It was not
so much a  question of   rights,  for
God bless the ladies we will accede
them all to them, as it was a question of woman's honor,  of woman's
virtue, of woman's   character,   that
henceforth must be open to all spe-
eieB of sin and slaughter.    It was
Shakespear who    said  "I hate the
slime that sticks to filthy deeds" and
politics are filthy,  and I must pay j
. my heart's best honors to the men
who preferred    their   wife's,   their
mother's    and   their   sister's   fair
names to all the  petty    privileges
the ballot   might give them.    The
ballot is indeed a blessing and thank
God for it.    Men   may   purify the
' political life  bnt   the political life
will never purify man  or woman,
and if it does there is something new
at last under the   sun.   If woman
wishes social activity, prominence,
fame,   honor   I would  recommend
■ "Charity," for greater than them all
, is charity.   Yours,
i Father McAllister.
",-s Remarks:
\ All Avill read with  interest what
Father McAllister has to say on this
f'  subject.    There "are certainly very
i few questions but that   have   two
: sides and of  course all   should en-
, deavor to   see both.     Fortunately
r this one finds no division on party
\ or sectarian lines.   "We could  in five
' minutes fill a' page   with   extracts
from    dignitaries   in the   Catholic
church as strongly  favoring woman
'   "suffrage.   That .too' much, of the. rot-
. tbnne6S of our  political life,  about
which Father McAllister complains,
is true," no one can deny; but the
trouble always has been, not so mnch
lh keeping bad men out  of politics
as in  getting   good  men  in.     Too
many in the cities  stand  back  and
let the bum   element run things and
-   then these  same people»complain
because matters do  not go to their
liking.
_ We do not think women are likely
to be partisan in their voting.    They
will, however, as a rule, demand chat
the nien for whom they vote shall be
.    clean and  decent.    The  Aldermen
Glinnana will he retired to private
life-as they, deserve.     In  short,  it
seems to hb that a most potent force
*" will be created to compel men to be
decent.   So far as contamination to
woman in the act of. voting is con

a quarter of a century in the slums of

century,  we  do not fear for   the
This son of Mr. and Mrs, Barton
"-jATeaver was born at Harvey, III.,
Sept. 4,1901, and died at- Mann Siding, Nov. 6,1912, being only a little
over 11 years of age. He was an, industrious lad and fvery much liked
aftd respected by all. His' teacher
and school-mates attended the funeral
in a body as a token of their regard
and esteem.   The funeral condupted
by Rev* Joseph Switzer, was held at
tbe Mann Siding ("church witb interment at Maple Grove cemetery.
Besides the parents, there remain
to regret his early death, one sister,
three brothers and three of the

REM ESTATE
Business of W.   H.   Caple -Is
Growing Rapidly.
W. H. Caple, the popular and
hustling young real estate dealer of
Glare, returned Satnrday- from one of
of h)s regular trips to Ohio, where he
spent Beyeral days' looking'after, his
interests in tbat territory. Although
the summer months are usually the
quiet' months from the standpoint -of
a real estate dealer, Mr. Caple reports an exceedingly large amount of
business done daring the summer
and early fall, the greatest since his
arrival in Olare. He naturally anticipates, therefore that the coming
six'months will see an increase In the
sale and exohange bf land and farm
property.      *\ '
Just now most of his time is being
spent in systomatazing and listing
tha various properties that are in his
bands for disposal, so that the annual prospectus for 1913 will be ready
for distribution in good season. This
will put thousands of possible buyers
.throughout Indiana and Ohio , in
touch with the situation in Clare Co.,
and Central Michigan, and provide a
good medium for sale or exchange to
those in the surrounding territory
who have property listed at this time.
We believe the people appreciate
having a capable real estate man in
tbeir midst, and this belief rests"npoh
tbe service which has been done
them in the past through his efforts.

THE SITUATION
t
Hallowe'en Party.
As Farmer Views It.   Likes Hatton Scribe.
One of the most pleasant events of
tbe Hallowe'en season was the
monthly card party Of the Embroidery Club, Mrs. Dr. Roe being responsible for the pretty little affair
given at her home, where she
spared neither ability nor work to
make the party one of enjoyment for
all. Tbe early part of the afternoon
was passed playing "500." Afterward the guests were ushered into
the candle lighted dining-room va"nd
told to find their places at the table
which was spread for twelve and
which presented a wierd, fantastic
picture, strewn with witches and
their brooms, black cats ,and owls,
the seasonable introduction to a
dainty two course lunch.

Coleman, Mich., Nov. 11,1912
The Olare 'Sentinel;
Olare, Mich.
In last week's Sentinel, under the
head of "Wilson President;" appears
the following extract:   <
"The Democratic victory in' many
of these Republican states was due.
entirely to the split in tbe Republican
party and to tho candidacy pf ex-
President Roosevelt. In most of
these states Roosevelt got the labor
vote and the radical Republican
vote."
As one of the radicals who cast
their vote for the champion of the
Progressive cause, I, a farmer, do
not revolt at being lined up with the
laborers; but by comparing the votes
cast for Wm. H. Tuft with those cast
for Roosevelt, it would seem that the
Republican party was composed
largely of candidates and its defeat a
blessing to tho country.
.While I witb tjiie rest regret the
final results, it. seems to me the few
standpatters left in tbe Republican
rankB should catch the inspiration
and open their eyes to existing conditions, and .join hands with the
many, who by their votes, denounced
bossism and such utter disregard of
the will of the people aB was shown
at the Chicago convention.
As Roosevelt received 29 ■ electoral
votes in Illinois and 15 morig'in Michigan, two great agricultural states, it
seems he must have polled heavily
the farmers vote.
I believe the farmers are sensible,
thinking men and not radicals and
are surely not men with a political
pull.
I sincerely hope that the ranks will
not be broken at the next Presidential election and that we will be
united for that which is best.
By the way, I -missed the Hatton
correspondent this week. I like the
way he boosts bis locality and its
people, and the way he says things
generally, I sincerely hope he has
Survived the blow with the rest of us.
