Others 60 out on Friday. There are

A Wen-Worn Bible.

Washington Special
The United States supreme court
has Bible which has been in con-
slant use since 1903. 1t was printed
at Oxford in 1899. On the fiy-leaf is
written, "United States Supreme
Court, 1SOS." And every justice of
the court and every attorney who has
been admitted to practice before the
bar since that date has been sworn
upon that Bible. 1t is small vol
ume and the binding shows the marks
of frequent usage, particularly where
the fingers clutch it in administering
and taking an oath.

Manchester Times: We today
place before our readers the name of
Col. w. Z. B. Jones, of McMinnville,
as candidate for Judge of this judi
cial circuit. Col. Jones is one of the
ablest lawyers in Tennessee, and if he
is elected will make a judge of whom
the people will be proud.
All of McMinnville's candidates
for judicial positions are receiving
very f1attering notices from the press
of the circuit. We wish they could
all be elected. They are all compe-
tent and well fitted for the positions
they seek, and the lightning cannot
strike amiss.
We notice that a number of towns
in Tennessee are now receiving daily
signal service reports andIwarnings by
telegraph, and are using the weather
signal flags. We again call attention
to this matter with the hope that
some one will take an interest in the
matter and secure the service for Nc
Minnville.

Mr.. A. L. Downing, of the I'd district

lose his barn by fire last Thursday
night. The barn contained 125 bar

which was all destroyed. No men,

A curious fact is, that although
there are but 200 soldiers, survivors
of the war of 1912, on the pension

soldiers of that war on therolls. The
brave boys of 1912 must have been
married late in life to very youthful

The Voice Of Vermont.

The platform adopted by the Re-
publicans of Vermont, like that OF
the Republicans of Maine, is made of
sound timber. In the two platforms
there is no essential difference except
on local questions, and it is safe to
say that the other Republican state
conventions soon to be held will
voice the same sentiments on the
tariff, the interests of the wage
earners, temperance, and other i'm
portant national issues that are to be
found in the platforms of the sterling
Republicans of Vermont and Maine.
We find in the Vermont platform
one proposition that deserves especial
commentator, and to which the at
tention of the Republicans of Mich
igan is invited--that is the one call.
ing upon the Republicans to discard
all past differences and stand united
in fighting the battles of the future.
That is a most sensible and very
important suggestion. Nothing good
can possibly be gained by fighting
over past differences or by keeping
alive ancient resensnents. The work

places to smite it with such repressive
taxation as will sweat the money out

8. In fine that he be broad mind
ed, clear visioned and open hearted
man, ready for whatever the progress

our civilization may require.
Short as is the list Of our guberna-

to be done now, the fight with present
and future opponents is all that can
interest the party now, all that can
be OF any value to the people, and is
the work before us. Vermont Re-
publicans see this and most cordial
invitation is extended by them to all
persons who are in general accord
with the views of the Republican
party to join the organization regard
less of past political differences.
Such should be the voice of the Re-
publicans of Michigan, for the gen.
eral sentiment of the party is in &C
cord with IT beyond all question.

Nominated for re election and will re-
elect Messrs. Thomas B. Reed, Mel

After a careful survey of the poll

After careful survey of the polit-
ical field there does not seem to us
any doubt that the Republicans can
elect a member of Congress in this
district, provided judicious selection
OF candidate is made. For instance,
Hon. ]. w. Belknapp, of Greenville,
or Hon. c. S. Draper, of Saginaw,
could, either OF them, be elected by
decided majority, and it would
make no difference whether the op-
posing candidate was Tim. Tarsney,
Jerome w. Turner or any other free
trade Democrat who has been or can
be named for the place.

With clear majority in favor of the

third reading of the bill to submit the

The remedy is the important matter;
and the remedy which we suggest IL that

pass IL before adjournment.
