Solid fOrPatton.

AS the time for electing United States
senators draws nearer, the forces of the
candidates are becoming better known and
the probable outcome nearer certainty.
Kent county representatives in the legis-
1ature will be solid for John Patton, Jr., Civ
ing him backing the power of which must
certainly be felt. 1t is the opinion of every
one who has heard Patton speak tina. he is
one of the brightest and best qualified men
for the position to which he aspires that the
state has. Personally he is man who will
make friends of everyone with whom he
comes in contact Such faculty is a

cess in position such as the senatorship.
He is young man compared with some of
the present members of the u. S. senate
and this is one Of the special reasons why
he should be elected. Up to date, active
and progressive he is more nearly in touch
with the thousands of young men who cast
republican ballots at the last election and
who have in him representative whom
they know considers their interests from
their own standpoint.
Senators and representatives in various
parts of the state who have studied the sit
uation very carefully in the past year are
very favorable to his candidacy and hope
for his election. He should be and we be-
lieve will be supported by many of the
younger men.

The Michigan legislature of 1895 will un-
doubtedly consider the question of again
submitting to the people an amendment
regarding the salaries of state officers. IL
will be somewhat delicate question I'm view
of the manipulation of the returns of 1891
and 1898, yet the people of Michigan, we
believe, are too fair, have too much sense OF
justice to ask the officers Of the state to do
the work of their responsible positions for
the misery salary at present paid.
When the constitution was adopted In
1850 the Office of attorney general was al
most an unnecessary one and the salary of
eight hundred dollars was sufficient. The
officer could sit in his Office when he pleased
and do his work; while at times he would
simply lock his door and go about private
business. Gradually it became necessary
Tor the attorney general to do work in vari-
Gus parts of the state and the salary being
too small to pay travelling expenses he was
compelled to hire assistants who sent in
bills, which the auditors allowed.
amounting at many times to $4,000
or even $4,000 per year. When the
salary amendment was declared passed the
attorney general, with salary OF $500
announced that he would do the work of
his Office in all parts of the state with the
help of one assistant. This he undoubtedly
did, saving the state thousand OF dollars.
Later, when the fraud was discovered the
attorney general was compelled to pay back
all in excess of $500. Many believe he was
guilty of changing the returns, yet he nor
any other man capable of handling the i'm
pOrtant legal work of this great state, should
be asked to do so for the beggary salary of
$500 year. A competent attorney should
not be asked to give up his practice even to
serve his state. Pay So, 900 or So, 500 in full
for the work and know that that is to be the
entire expense and that the work is to be
done by the man whom the people have
chosen for the position.
The same statement is true of the other
state. officers and especially of the superin-
tendent of public instruction. The super

office in an able manner and will continue to

A. X. Hyatt, writing in Farm and

l. Thou shalt get move on thee
early before the patrons, with the
voice of multitude as it were, or the
voice of mighty laundering, are shout
ing to be delivered.
2. Thou shalt wash thy hands every
day in clean water-counsel is mine
clean from under thy nails, soak out
dirty creases and wrinkles, for dirty
butter maker is an abomination.
3. Thou shalt not let fat escape, for
when thou givest dividends thy pat
rons shalt say, "Why taketh it twenty
five pounds of milk to make ,und
Of butter when twenty will do it Just
over the way?" and thou wilt be left
as the beacon on top of mountain or
an ensign on top of a hill
Thou shalt not add water to our
skim milk and so cheat whole neigh
borhood of hungry hogs. The Lord
have mercy on thy soul. Repent and
sin no more.
s. Thou must not mix in flies. Dead
flies cause the ointment of an apothe-
cary shop to send forth a stinkinz

G Thou must own a knowing nose,
a sensible nose, ever on the alert; know

2. Thou shalt not allow one or two
hogs to steal from the many. A two
legged hog allowing other two-legged
hogs to steal milk from half the four
legged hogs in the neighborhood, is a
sad picture.

A filthy butter maker is of all abom-
