Commissioner of Schools.

This year there is a new office for
the people of each county to vote fol
that of Commissioner of Schools
This is quite an important Office in
the educational interests of the
county, and it should be well looked
after by all friends of education
The Democratic candidate for that
position in this county is Egberi
H. Fox, of Long Rapids, a young
man of excellent qualifications, and
we'll fitted for the important posi-.
ton. While we have no fault tc
find with his opponent, Mr.. Case
we would at the same time say that
as we have first-class candidate or
our own side of the political fence
we advise the Democracy to see tc
it that Mr.. Fox receives the Dem.
ocratic vote.

Better and Better /.

The New Peterson for April is even
more attractive than its predecessors and
cannot be too highly praised both for its
contents and illustrations. Easter Days
in and about Rome" by Sarah Powell
begins with visit to the Eternal City In
the days of Plus TX. 1t is not only
amusing, but Instructive; and several OF
the photographs are entirely new. "a
Collage Girl" by Ellen Olney Kirk, is
one Of that popular authors best stories.
The New Peterson was very fortunate to
secure her, as she can seldom be persuad-
ed to undertake magazine work. "Haw-
aiinei," by Mary Gray Umsted, is de-
lightful account of the Sandwich Islands,
taken from journal kept during resi-
dence there, and the photographers are
admirable. easter at Naples" by
Louise Chandler Moulton, is worthy the
pen of that famous poetess. 1.-THE Altar
Cloth OF San Carlos" by Catherine Thay-
or, is very original and striking story;
but indeed, the storios are one and all
Of high order of merit. "By the Fire.

important feature. "Some Fireside
Pets" by Minot j. Savage, ''Dr. Prim-
rose and His Administration" by Edward

$500. The money to pay for the flags
can be obtained either by donations or by
arranging series of entertainments and
raising the required funds. The latter
plan would make the subscription one in
which all citizens could assist. We
would suggest that the ladies take hold
OF the matter and make arrangements for
entertainments at the Opera House, and
that they be given the power to levy on
every person they think capable of sing
ing, acting or performing on musical in
struments to amuse and entertain the
audience. II the ladies take hold OF the
matter 1t is sure to be a success, and we
believe the Opera House would not be
large enough to hold all the people who
are willing to contribute to the flag fund.

One of the constitutional am

One of the constitutional amend
ments to be voted on at the spring
election concerns directly Grand
Rapids. With the ambition born
of a live, go-a-head city, Grand
Rapids wants to deepen the chan.
mel of the Grand river so as to Sc.
cure a permanent navigable steam
to Lake Michigan. The Valley
City asks the privilege of issuing
bonds to raise the necessary money
Inasmuch as every industry in west
ern and northwestern parts of the
state will be benefited, it would
seem that the people ought to say
yes to the proposition.

Democratic Nominations.

An amendment that ought to
prevail at the polls on April Sd is
the question providing for a county
system of roads. Good highways,
properly constructed, should become
a part of our government, and if
the proposed constitutional amend
ment is a step in that direction, it
should be supported by every voter.

In few months one Of the finest steam
ers on the lakes will arrive at this port
on her first trip. She will be inscribed
"City Of Alpena," and she will be one OF
the fastest vessels on the lakes. IL con.
fers an honor on this city Of ours to give
her that name, and it will be great adj
vertisement for Alpena. The custom,
when a steamer is given the name OF a
city, is for the citizens to present her with
a set Of colors, and this was done when a
former steamer was so named. The peo-
pie Of Alpeua have duty before them Of
preparing fine set Of colors for the new

"Omega: The End of the World" which

the highest point of excitement by his
vivid description of the alarm and despair
excited by the approach of a comet whose
collision with the earth had been declared
by astronomers inevitable. The descrip-

Circuit Judge

A very important duty before
the voters of the ..2eth judicial dis
trict, at the election next Monday,
is to select a Judge to preside over
the Circuit Court during the next 8
years. As a candidate for the po-
sition the Democrats have selected
James Mcnamara. He is worthy
and well qualified for the position,
and he should receive the warm
support of every Democrat in the
district. He is well known here
for his legal ability, and there is
no doubt that he will make a good
Judge. We believe his rulings
will be free from all partiality.
His popularity in this city, his home,
is noteworthy. His entire profess
sional life has been passed in the
district, and his standing in the Al
pena bar is equal to any attorney
in the city. No man can say a
word that reflects on his integrity
or his worth as an upright citizen.
With such candidate as James
Mcnamara it is the duty of every
Democrat to give him all the assist
ance in his power, and help to
elect him to the responsible position
of Circuit Judge for this district.
If this be done James Mcnamara
will be elected to fiji the position,

Occasionally have very narrow es-
capes from being imposed upon in putting
men into positions of such responsibility
as that of receiverships, " said Mr.. Eek
els. THAT was the case recently in the
matter of the removal and appointment
of a successor of the receiver of the First
National Bank of Little Rock, Ark. The
removal was asked for the then incUm-
bent upon several grounds but the prob
able and real cause for asking for his re
mOval was that he was a prominent and
and active republican and as such had
been offensive. No removal was made
until a thorough Investigation was had,
and only then because it was ascertained
that the receiver was interested in the
bank TO the extent of 800 900 as a credit
or; and while he probably would have
discharged the duties of his trust proper
ly, there was room for criticism on
the part of other creditors; and there
fore, in the interest of all
and to avoid any criticism, his resigna-
ton was asked for and promptly ten
dered When it came TO appointing a
successor great many kilograms were
received from representatives and men
prominent in public life in Arkansas and
elsewhere in the interest Of q gentleman
who, the Endorsements stated, stood very
high in the community, but had no inter

than two weeks this very man was iu-
dicted by the federal grand Jury on a
number Of counts for perjury in CON
neCtiOn with false returns while in this

who are charged with the duty of select

Owing to the unsettled financial policy of
the present national administration, and
the general financial stringency which
prevails all over the land, the demand for
lumber has fallen off until there is but
little doing, except, perhaps in Texas,
along the line of the Southern Pacific and
Houston, East and West Texas, from
which quarter a fair business is reported
Fortunately for our industry, the stock
of lumber on hand is very light indeed.
Many manufacturers have practically
nothing for sale, while others have less
than at any time in years
Some manufacturers who have stocks
on hand seem disposed to cut prices for
the salH of getting business, and / wish to
warn all such against this suicidal policy
The stocks OF, manufactured lumber
in sight would not supply an ordinary
demand for ten days, hence all can see
