The Isay City Tribune OF SUNDAY

The BAY City Tribune of Sunday
publishes column article, purporting
TO be the report of an interview be-.
tween Detroit Post and Tribune re.
porter and well-known business man
of Bay City, on the congressional ont.
look in the Tenth district, which in
brief recapitulates what most of our
readers know, the names of the candi-
dates, Hatch, Gibson and Birney OF
Bay City, Loud of Oscoda. Kelley of
Alpena, and Huston of Tuscola. The
gentleman, of course, favored Bay
City candidate. and claimed that Hatch
had the backing OF the mill owner and
bank men, that Birney was gentle
man well known and fitted for the
place with hosts of friends who were
working with vigor TO make up for his
entering the race at so late day in
the canvass, that Gibson has not the
ability of either of the other candi-
dates but is very popular with the vot
ers and his friends are largely among
the men who manage and control the
primaries and are working for all they
are worth. lie thought the differences
in Bay would be fixed previous to the
convention, as division there would
certainly lose them the nomination. -
lis 4, Ian of u al l.af
not bring TO the convention his own
county solid, that Loud had much
greater stI ength up the shore and was
a good man every way. The Tribune,
in the same issue, comes out 'sculrely
for Hatch, for the first time, and dep
r"cates the possibility of a division in
the Bay county delegation: It. says:
The Tribune knows there is an ar
dent desire pervading the ranks of the
Republican party in this county to
have the nominee taken from Bay City,
but it il fearful that different result
will be reached unless there is unity
of action TO that end. Bay county
must center upon one man, and that
man must be the one who can the most
readily secure the support of other por
tions OF the district. As the account
now stands the tribune is convinced
that Mr.. Hatch is that man. 1t has
nothing To say against the other gen
tlemen who are candidates; they have
as many rights as Mr.. Hatch in the
canvass; but as a matter of policy for
the Republicans of Bay county, they
should center upon one man and sup.
port him with whatever zeal may be
necessary to success. If there is any
way of determining which is the most
available, it should be adopted and
that man supported, whether Mr..
Hatch, or some other candidate.

THE EVILS OF TESTING AND
GOSSIPING.

The writer particularly refers to that
kind of jesting which tends to make
Others miserable for some natural and
moral conduct shown in and before So
ciety. This conduct on the part of
the offenders does not improve or ad-
vance the social standing of their
character, neither does it improve up
on that of whom the joke was given
or tale was laid or upon society at
large, but on the contrary, il makes
enemies or create dissent between the
parties concerned, and still, by far
worse. it creates u feeling of tiinidity
upon well-disposed persons who are
naturally intended to be shining lights
of society and keeping them on the
alert for fear of being made the sport
Of such disposed persons, thereby de
prlring humanity of its lustre, of pure
moral and humane conduct. of good
enjoyable and natural comforts of life
that humanity il heir TO, and to GER
tain degree make the whole communi-
ty dull and unappreciable. A good
lesson to be learned is the fact that to
make ourselves happy we must first
make all about us happy, or at least
agreeable, and encourage them OH i'm
social ways, and make them feel the
ameliorating influences Of sociability.
and they will in turn, as n natural con
sequence, blend the same feeling i'm us.
and our happiness will come suror and
greater through that source than any
other that the human mind can invent.
On the contrary, by making Others un-
happy by our sayings or doings, we
surely make our surroundings disagree
able and ourselves as consequence.
These influences are mostly felt in
the smaller towns, and often threatens
and does shut out the social and up
lifting elements of society, and in its
stead is cngendered the gossiping, the
immoral, the degrading and vicious
elements, which naturally takes place,

REUNION AT LAKE LINDEN.

The fourth annual Reunion of ex-soldiers
and sailors at Lake Linden, Michigan, recently,
drew together large number OF the boys who
served SO gallantly in the defense Of their
country The organization under which the
celebration was held is known as the Upper
Peninsula Association Of Soldiers and Sailors.
The citizens had decorated their town hand
somely for the reception of their patriotic and
honored guests. Flags, bunting, evergreens,
and flowers were tastefully displayed in all
conspicuous places.
According to the programme, the Lake Lin
den veterans assembled at School Hall at nine
a. IN, and, headed by the Young American Cor
net Band, proceeded to the depot where they
met the Calumet veterans about 10 a. IN. Form
ing into line, they then marched to the school
house dock, where they met the Houghton and
Hancock veterans, who arrived about 1920 a.
III. The veterans then all formed into line,
and, followed by a long procession of citizens
and visitors in vehicles and on foot, marched
out to the Lake Linden park, where the ad-
dress of welcome was delivered by Mr.. T PruIe
The address, in the main, consisted Of a poep
written for the occasion, and delivered in an
enthusiastic manner by MIR. Brule. who was
frequently interrupted by applause and at the
close received three hearty cheers and "a
tiger" from the Boys in Blue.
Col c. B. Grant, of HOughton, president of
the association for the year just closing, was
ex-oficio master OF ceremonies, and Col. VIM.
B. Wright, of Eagle River, the present sheriff
of Keweenaw county, was commander. Under
the leadership Of these two gentlemen every
thing passed of smoothly and pleasantly. Col.
Grant, in characteristic speech, which elected
considerable applause and great deal of
laughter, among other things, informed the
veteran guests that he was requested TO state
that while they were at Lake Linden their
wants would be provided for by the citizens of
the place, who regarded it as pleasant privi-
lege to entertain them.
A little necessary business having been dis
posed of, and dinner time approaching, the vet
