7. Brooks commanding the division in
called to lead the Twelfth corps. Brooks
had Lead brigade in another division,
and when we asked his soldiers what sort
of leader our new man was, they an
swered: ''Ol, he's all right. We call
him Bully Brooks" A few days after
he established headquarters with US one
of our men came in from foraging ex-
pedition with half lamb, we'll wrapped
MP and slung over his shoulder. The Or
iers about foraging were strict at the
time, the penalty being confinement ut
Dry Tortugas breaking stone.
Our comrade was challenged by some
pne at headquarters, brought before the
general, the plunder seized and sent to
the headquarters mess, of course. The
exact conversation that took place cam
not recall, but the delinquent was told
IN substance that he deserved good
kicking, or some other mild but humili-
.ting punishment, for not bringing in
she whole lamb, and for not sneaking
into camp unobserved while cast iron
orders were in vogue.
When he owned up frankly that he
had blundered and was a novice in the
business, the general told him to go to
the cook and get a share of the lamb
and repair to his quarters, never to re-
peat the Offense. AS soon as this story
got around camp our boys of the First
division concluded that Brooks was a

THEIR LAST KICK.

There is certain kind of meanness
which is too despicable to be categorical.
1t is that which is too low to acknowl-
edge its defeat with frankness; but
responds to sober arguments with per-
sonal abuse. 1t is no excuse for this that
a quondam "minister of the gospel
INDUCES in it. In the eyes of an
impartial public that does not excul-
pate the "tool."
The Democrat took the trouble this
week to come out one day late so that
the untruthful figures it prints might
not be answered before election. 1t
tries to prove that the officers of last
year saved the township some great
amount This argument, together
with string of cooked up" figures,
may persuade the foolish; but tax-pay-
ers know too we'll that their taxes have
been, with few exceptions, as great or
greater than last year.
But we do not say that years pre-
vious to last our taxes were just. They
were equally bad with last year; it
may be worse, but that is no excuse
for the oppression we have II t suf-
fered. 1t is no excuse why our ASSESS
ment should have been raised 1925, 900,
and that we should have paid as a
township $625 of state and county
taxes more than our due. 1t is not a
Question of two evils. 1t is merely
whether Supervisor Hodgins did right
ly or not. And if he raised our town
ship 1925, 900, he did not do rightly.
He is on record as belonging to the
ring which plans to raise the townships
and lower the cities; and all fair prom
Uses before election will avail nothing.
He has done wrongly and therefore
some other man should be given a
chance.
The statements made by the Demo-
crat are all without the basis of truth.
They are the mad assertions Of man
driven into corner. We defy it to
prove them; and it is brazen lie when
it says that the Port Huron merchants
in question were assessed $4,000; for
the rolls have not been published yet.
We said about 500, and received Il fair
approximation from good authority.

OPINIONS OF OTHERS.

The Mt. Clemens Monitor comments
editorially as follows upon the TAX con-
troversy which has been going on
through the columns of the ExPosIToR.
1t reflects most favorably upon the
honesty of that esteemed organ; and
shows also the opinion prevalent out
side of the county on this mooted
question and the disgrace consequent
upon it, if it does not arouse enough
interest among those directly affected
to give the subject a fitting examination:
The Monitor has looked vainly in its
Port Huron, Marine City, and st. Clair
contemporaries for an answer, or an at
tempted answer, to "a series of articles
that have appeared in the Yale Expos
IToR charging, and apparently prov
| ing, all manner of rascality upon the
st. Clair county board of supervisors.
| The EXPosIToR seems to have the facts
| TO prove that in the work of equaliza-
| ton the most outrageous frauds were
| practiced in the interest of the cities.
| The law was braZenly detied. The
Port Huron Times, with its lofty pre-
| tensions of independent virtue, and all
the other Port Huron, Marine City,
and st. Clair newspapers tacltly con-
done the rascality.
The querie is very timely. Why is
it these periodicals have not attempted
to controvert the fundamental truths
Of what we have stated? A few angry
articles have appeared in these papers,
to be sure. But they merely affected
certain minor questions. The basis of
the charge they have never attempted
to assault. The Port Huron Times,
the one organ of the county, which by
means of its prominence should de-
fend the "rights of the people," has
never dared to utter word editorially
1t seems very much as if, in the mind
of the Times editor, there was a diff
ference as to what "people" were
meant Still it may be of the opinion
that subject of such minor import
ance should hardly be considered, in
the light of the very plausible efforts
to make their paper of Il national rep
utation.
The fact still remains that the peo-
pie are interested in this subject and
will soon demand an account on this
score. This very calm, hypocritical
air of the city journals may do for the
present because they now have moth
ing much to fear with majority upon
the Board. 1t may be in order, never
theless, for the cities to take hint on
this matter. 1t is not an impossibility
for determined townships to destroy
that majority.
But there is nothing that can COM
pei these organs to speak if they are
bound not to. 1t only remains for the
public to establish itself in its opinion
that our charges are true and the
Board has been guilty.

AN Am ENDM EMIT.

The Legislature has accomplished
this year one thing Of honest merit.
That is the unanimous passage of the
joint resolution submitting TO the peo-
pie the question of changing the sal
airy of the Attorney General from $500
to 50 500. AS has been the case in past
years the Attorney General has been
little more than farmer Of the States
business. The salary paid him has not
been sufficient to justify him in giving
the duties of the Office his whole time,
and he has had to give out the business
to other attorneys who charge their
own fees. In this way $l3,4S0 has
been spent within the past year. The
economy of giving the chosen official
of the people Il sufficient salary to
insure his whole service must be evil
dent to all. This is true economy.
1t is conducive TO the dignity of the
State also that an Office of 50 much
prominence be made sufficiently re-
munerative to make the Office worth
the time of competent men.
Care has been taken in the bill at
present before the Legislature that the
rights of the People are thoroughly
protected. They, therefore, run no
hazard in giving the Legislature per-
mission by their votes to attend the
matter

ANOTHER EXCUSE.

There is another excuse for the
corrupt practice followed on the Board
of Supervisors for the last few years,
which is very commonly peddled by
few well-tutored gentlemen because its
absurdity will hardly allow of its APP
pearance in print. They say, if it is
true that all this evil has been goiIrg
on for 80 many years, why is it it WAS
not discovered before?
If man were not rendered totally
blind 10y partisan prejudice he could
hardly repeat such piece of sophistry
without laughing in ones face. More
over, no one except person, who has
absolutely decided to close his ears
to the truth, could entertain such bit
of foolishness for a moment. 1t may
be, therefore, unnecessary for us to
answer it, for drowning man will
catch at a straw even if you do try to
tell him it can not save him.
To face the question soberly, the
true reason is, that for the last ten
years Port Huron and its allies have
prevented those supervisors, who know
of the abuse, from exposing it by
threatening to put their towns cup"
on equalization. This proved most
effective thumb-screw until last Oc-
tober. But then certain supervisors
had their towns put at the top notch
the first thing. The secret crept out.
A protest was made. Threats availed
nothing. The few members who raj
lied to face this disgraceful conduct
were "ruthlessly slaughtered" They
continued to protest, and could not be
squelched. At length the public heed
ed their complaint and investigated it
The records of the session proved thai
the laws of the State had been grossly
disregarded. 1t was an old practice
So old that it had become an acknowl
edged custom. Further investigation
brought out other astonishing facts
Thus the whole subject was at length
aired.
This is the true reason the corrup
ton Of the Board existed for years anC
was not known until recently. I
there is any reason in this why w
should placidly do nothing and ALLOW
the practice 20 go on, We fail to see il

FOR SUPERVISOR.

The Republicans surely can not COM
pl in at the nomination for supervisor
made last Wednesday. They certainly
have selected man who will attend to
the business which will come before
him az guardian of his township with
the best of his energies. He is not a
man who will spend the time he owes
to his constituency in playing pedro
and carousing rs members did last
year. The same business tact which he
has always shown in his long career in
our midst will be shown in his work for
the township.
1t lie needless to say that that is just
what We need al present. We want a
man who will fairly represent us. Not
man who will JOIN any party for Of
flee. Thomas Hickey is not an Office
seeker. lie is firm business man who
has consented to serve his friends and
neighbors if they wish it. lie is too
well known to need any further eulo-
gy. AS we have always found him
honest and straightforward we owe it
to ourselves as honest citizens and Re-
publicans TO vote for him.
The remainder Of the ticket the Re-
publcans have nominated is equally
good. They are all good men. Not Il
Republican should hesitate to vote for
Il single one. hat will elect the tick
ct Let every Republican, therefore.
come to the polls next Monday. Vote,
if never before, and give your man a
chance to serve you faithfully.
