ber In urging the exercise of executive
clemency the pardon board says
1.-The crime was most heinous and we
do not wish TO condone 1t. And while
there were some mitigating circumstances,
we believe her sentence was just The
mitigating circumstances we believe to be
that she was under the influence of man
who possessed "A will much stronger than
her own and who agreed TO marry her but
for the bar of so many children. The in
fuence which the man possessed over her
would now be called hypnotism, and ii
was while acting under it that the crime
was committed"

at Ann Arbor, Mich.

that of Mr.. Perry of the law department
and Maude Elaine Caldwell, a poetess.
Their flight to West Virginia for the pur-
pose of getting married has been entirely
condoned by the respective families. But
the faculty does not disguise its annoy
ance just the same.
Although such events are practically
unprecedented in university annals, yet
they were freely predicted in the early
days of co-education. Demonstration
Lewis, the hero of one of these episodes,
has retired from the university and left
the city. The third couple has also de-
parted, but Perry will remain and gradu-
ate. There is "A party in the faculty who
believe he should be censured and that a
rule should be passed against clandestine
marriages But this party is in minor

An Erroneous Idea.

Much dissatisfaction appears to exist
among the friends OF Mr.. Fred Lean, tn,
republican nominee for sheriff, at the nc
tion oil the board OF supervisors wher
acting upon the salaries Of the county
officers at their meeting last Friday. o
the salaries OF the eleven officers ther
fixed for the ensuing term only three wer,
cut, viz: The sheriff, whose salary was
reduced from 81 400 TO $4,000; the
school inspector, from $1,000 tn $500
and the ianitor, from $40 to $500. The
per diem board TOR prisoners was
also reduced from 10 cents to 81
cents per day. No one can
possibly kick at the aforementioned re.
duction, the only wonder is that the
board OF supervisors, who are so mig.
gardly in some respects, should have
been 80 extravaganza in this board allow
ance. man should get frst-class
board anywhere for rs cents day. The
sheriff certainly Is not expected to charge
any room rent for his board rs, as that
Ia provided by the county without any
charge to him.
But where the kick comes in is in the re-
duction OF the sheriif's salary and which
many OF Mr.. Leans friends claim il
aimed perhaps not SO especially at him
as at the people whose candidate he, at
the time OF his nomination, appeared to
be. These people claim. of course they
cannot know their claim has any founda-
ton, that II certain other person had
been appointed the cut, in all probability,
would not have been made. They also
claim that the salaries should have been
fixed before the nominations took place.
otherwise the board OF supervisors
would haye the power OF virtually multi
Tying the will Of the people as shown by
the nominating convention. For the
board could, il they were adverse
to the nominees, so reduce the
salaries as to make their
Offices lar from sinecures. 1t does seem
that il the board were seized with q c of
economy, they might have reduced some
OF the other Officers as we'll, or DIVIDED up
the s4OO among them, instead of all rom
one person.
The claim that the salaries should be
fixed before the nominating convention
may BE- valid or not, the Law on the sub
jet which was passed in 1879, says:
That the annual salaries OF all sal.
aried county Offices, which are now or
may be hereafter by Law fixed by the
board oil supervisors, shall be fixed by
said board on or before the 31st day of
October, prior to the commencement OF
the term OF such Offices and the same
shall not be increased or diminished dur
ing the terms for which such officers shall
have been elected or appointed"

city attorney OF Bay City, will speak at

1t IL very noticeable fact to anyone
who has made IL a point TO attend all
the political rallies on both sides this fall
that each side used the utterances of such
great men as Lincoln. Grant and Others
In support OF their respective positions.
For instance the speaker last evening re-
ierred to what Lincoln said about fool
ing all OF the people some OF the time,
some OF the people all oithe time, but not
all OF the people all OF the time. while Mr..
Pattengill used the same expression to
strengthen his position on the money
question. II is this fooling the people,
whether all or only part OF the time, that
takes politics to the low stage il il. for,
unfortunately, those who fool the people
most OF the time often are those who
come out ahead. What we want in poll
tics Is honesty. One week from today
