CLARE'S PRINCIPAL BUSINESS STREET LOOKING NORTH.
In accord with a movement on in many cities Clare has fallen in line and adopted a slogan.
"THE MARKET CITY." The adoption was made Monday, a committee determining that A. E. May-
nard's suggestion as given above be the city's choice. This is an admirable one as interpreting what
Clare does today. It is much to be doubted if any other town in Michigan in proportion for her size
can sjiow such an array of wagons and buggies as come to Olare, especially on Saturday.
"One and all" for "The Market City", not to inject it into our political differences, not to boost
just on the eve of a municipal election and forget it immediately, but on a sane, consistent basis let us
all boost for better markets, a cjbeater cla.ee and a city of pure homes and ambitious lives.

The sentence came as
an investigation about a month ago
by night watch Charles Powers, who
bought several bottles of beer in the
place. It was claimed that it had
been shipped in in barrels. A warrant was sworn out for Fowler, who
disappeared before it could be served.
Yesterday Sheriff Frank Convis was
given the tip that Fowler had returned and with night watchman
Powers, turnkey A. Wilber and mar-
shall George Clow went to the Fowler home with a search warrant.
Fowler was found hiding under the
bed. He was taken to the county
jail and there asked advice of the
sheriff as to his proper course of action. He was advised to plead guilty
and promp'tly did so, being bound
over to the circuit court by justice
John Myers and sentenced today.

Ticket in Field.
Farwell Correspondent.
The following ticket was nominated at the village caucus on Monday
evening and from the facts known at
this writing it seems that tbere will
be no contest, no other caucus having been called and no hint yet heard
of anybody running on slip. Mr.
Wiesman the nominee for president
has served during the past year,
evidently very satisfactorily:
President—Louis Wiesman,
Clerk—Geo. L. Knight.
Treasurer—Jno. B. Harris.
Assessor—Chas. I. Maurer.
Constable—Sylvester Coon.
Trustees—Jno. Ritchie, Wm. 0.

There will be a meeting at the
Russell school bouse nest Monday
evening to drganiae for securing lower telephone rates,
began with Samuel Stewart as the
"star" performer, making a plea a-
gainst the local optionists on the
ground of "personal liberty," arranging the church, Catholic and
Protestant alike, as tyrannical in the
past and as seeking in the local option movement to re-establish its lost
power. Incidentally, too, his own
neighbors, Clare merchants, some of
the visitors present, preachers generally, even women were all handed
some hot stuff, the arraignment ending with a challenge to meet any of
'em on the local option question with
'' tongue or sword.'' President Rowe
spoke for the dry side, defending the
church as standing on the side of
progress.
P. A. Bennett argued that while
the church haa at times in the world's
history been tyrannical'and corrupt,
today the American saloon is the
most tyrannical and corrupt force in
the nation's life. Henry Hales declared that while he loves sobriety
and temperance much he loves personal liberty more.
The most eloquent thing of the
evening: was an incident narrated by
Mrs. Thomas McGregor of Denver.
She said that last spring she went to
the home of a relative, giving the
name, and found want and 'misery.
Today, she said, with the temptation
of tbe saloon removed from Coleman,
the husband is sober, takes care of
his home where now happiness
reigns. The next Pomona meeting
will be held in Union township.
luiis^aiiri
Rufus J. Powell and Miss Nettie A.
Sanborn were united in marriage at
the M. E. parsonage by Rev. Quinton
Walker Wednesday evening, March
3, 1909.
Mr. Powell is" one of the successful
young business men of Farwell being
proprietor of the creamery. He is
well known and highly respected.
Miss Sanborn is one of Surrey's popular and attractive young ladies with
a host of friends.
The happy couple will make their
home in Farwell with every prospect
for a joyous and successful life.
Agricultural County
Vernonites have an agitation on for
lower telephone rates.
There was a district Sunday school
association meeting held at Leaton
yesterday.
Mt. PJeasant's paving proposition
is all in the air again. An injunction
from tbe circuit court turned the
trick.
Rep. Dusenbury has introduced a
bill providing for Central Normal
current expenses for the next two
years and a liberal sum for improvements on the campus.
Rev. Quinton Walker and E. G.
Welch of Clare were the speakers at
a local option rally at the Evangelical church in Wise Tuesday evening
to a good sized house.
Congressman Dodds went to Washington last week to get in touch with
his duties as" seen in the present congress preparatory to the assembling
of congress in special session March
17 when his duties in legislation
begin.
At the corn exhibit in the farmers
round up at Mt. Pleasant Isabella
farmers took away tbe three prizes
for corn—W. H. Wood first, E. L.
Salisbury second, John Walton third.
On clover Wm. McKay of Vernon
waa first. The corn contest was
especially gratifying to Isabella
county with an Indiana Judge.
The Wise Farmers' club, 125 strong,
met at J. H. Seeley's in Vernon Tuesday and a general good time is
reported. Local option was again
the principal theme with A. L. Harrington of Grant, north of Clare, A.
T. McDonald of Wiae, M. Johnson of
Rosebush, Rev. G. D. Kaufman and
Rev. Quinton Walker of Clare making some of the principal speeohes.
The only thing that marred the occasion was lack of somebody to' take
the "wet" side of the argument, The
next meeting will be held with John
Gardner in Olare.
The state found up farmers' institute concluding its Sessions at Mt.
Pleasant last Friday was one of the
best in the history of the state,—in
practicability, in interest and in
ability of speakers participating.
All in all it was most creditable to
all concerned. Resolutions, passed
recommended a state wide primary
election law mandatory upon all
parties. Resolutions were adopted
against the Ormsbee bill. An illuminating incident occurred as they
were considered. The chairman asked how to get money to telegraph
same to legislature. "I'll pay half
said a man from the gallery", dropping the money dowtt, "and you the
other half." One progressive farm-
es declared, "What ninnies so many
of our farmers are. Here was the
best thing that ever came to the
county and yet there were whole
townships not even represented,"
WOWS COURAGE.
Stops  a   Maddened    Runaway
Horsp Escaping Unhurt.
One* of the bravest things seen in
Clare was the part taken by Miss
Pauline Krell In a runaway. A team
ran into her rig breaking a thill and
starting the big terrified horse madly
up the street, the rig sluing hither
and thither and threatening every
moment to throw the occupant out.
But she hung on to the lines for dear
life and finally'at State street slowed
the animal down so that a' strong
hand grasped the bit and brought the
house to a standstill,—the driver safe.
A purse was spilled during the mad
race but many men went to Searching along the street and when Miss
Krell counted up she found herself
50 cents ahead to help pay for the
repairs,—a lost half dollar found
along the. street swelled her purse account by that much.
Inning faltli fo
pudiateii Statements.
That the managers of the campaign
against local option are depending
on ignorance and false statements is
clearly shown iu the publication last
week in the Harrison Cleaver of the
same Cadillac forgeries as were published the week before in the Olare
Courier as an ad. only to be repudiated last week by Editor Canfleld himself in justice to his readers. But is
it not true, Mr, Canfleld, that the
"Michigan Publicity Co., Detroit,"
under whose name the ad. was published was a shield for the saloon
keepers of Olare, that is, the K. Y.
M. S. Club of which J. Mason is president, F. E. Alderton secretary and
D. MoPhall treasurer?
The repudiated statement of Rev.
Fr. Ryan of Pontiac also is being circulated, trying to prove that Pontiac
is against local option. This reverend gentleman of the Catholic church
says, of the man who put up the alleged statement, in the Detroit News
of February 19, "He didn't question
me along the lines indicated in the
published interview and I made no
statement of the sort attributed to
me."
Several bushels of the Saginaw
Evening News have been sent out into the surrounding country this week
containing a paid advertisement, all
very smooth with a whiskey twist of
one of Lincoln's speeches. The
Deroit Times {published the same ad.
and subsequently apologized to its
readers for its falsity. But this false
ad. is circulated by Clare liquor men
regardless of the truth.

long Happiness and prosperity,
Tri render the reforms lasting, how
ever, and to secure at the same time
freedom from alarm on the part of
those pursuing proper and progressive business methods, further legislative and executive action are needed.
Belief of the railroads from certain restrictions of the anti-trust law have
been urged by my predecessor and will
be urged by me. On the other hand,
the administration is pledged to legislation looking to a proper federal supervision and restriction to prevent excessive issues of bonds and stocks by
companies owning and operating interstate commerce railroads.
Then, too, a reorganization of the
department of justice, of the bureau
of corporations in the department of
commerce and labor, and of the interstate commerce commission, looking:
to effective co-operation of thes©
agencies, is needed to secure a more
rapid and certain-enforcement of the
laws affecting interstate railroads and
industrial combinations.
I hope to be able to submit, at the
first regular session of the -incoming;
congress,  in  December next, definite-,
suggestions in respect to the needed'
amendments to the anti-trust and the^
interstate   commerce   law,   and   the.
changes required in the executive departments concerned in their enforce- •
ment.
It is believed that with the changes-
to he recommended, American business can be assured of that measure?
of stability and certainty in respect £o<
those things that may be done and?
those that are prohibited, which is essential to the life and growth Of all
business. Such a plan must include
the right of the people to avail themselves of those methods of combining;
capital and effort deemed necessary
to reach the highest degree of economic efficiency, at the same time differentiating between combinations
based "upon legitimate economic reasons and those formed with the intent
of creating monopolies and artificially
controlling prices.
The work of formulating into practical shape such changes is creative
work of the highest order, and requires aft the deliberation possible In
the interval. I believe that the amendments to be proposed are just as necessary in the protection of legitimate'
business as in the Clinching of the reforms which properly bear the nama
of my predecessor.
Extra Seooion for Wlarch 15.
A matter of most pressing iinpor-
tance is the revision of the tariff; la
accordance with the promises of the
platform upon which I was edected,.
I shall call congress into extra session,,
to meet on the fifteenth day of March,,
in order that consideration may be at
once given to a bill revising the Bitsg-
ley act. This should secure an sae-
