AS THE time for the local option
election approaches, we are sorry to
note a seeming lack of interest in the
result, on the part of a great many
voters. When the last election was
held, FIVE years ago, the vote cast was
a very light one, and from that day
to this, those on each side of the ques-
ton have protested that the small
ness of the vote was detrimental to
them. The local option people believe
that, had the vote been $500, as in
last falls general election, or even
1000, instead of paltry 5,4O0 as it
was, the old time prohibition majority
of Van Buren, county would have
been maintained. On the other hand,
the high license advocates are of the
opinion that their men, thinking
there was no chance of defeating the
law, were the ones to stay at home.
But be that as it may, to the North
erner the settlement of this question
by vote of less than two-thirds of
all the electors of the county, is un-
satisfactory indeed and does not give
fair decision as to the wishes of the
people. The continuance or repeal
of local option is an important ques-
ton, both as an economic policy and
as a matter of public morals, and its
Importance entities it to the vote Of
every elector in the county, as his
judgment and conscience may
dictate to him. Let us have full
vote on November l, and then, for
the two years to come, let all cheer
fully abide by the avowed will of the
majority.

Anplomaniac Sorrow.

Our lglomaniac friends have oc-
casion to protest again. The continu-
ed decrease of British exports is to
them most deplorable effect of the
Dingley tariff law. The board of
trade returns for September show a
decline of = per cent as compared
with the corresponding month of last
year. The English press unal inous.
ly attribute this to our new tariff law.
Commenting on the situation, the
London Times says:
"Whatever its ultimate effect, it is
clear that the immediate result of pro-
lection i'll America is to close the
American markets very largely to
British exports. We may as well
make up our minds to this fact, and
seek an opening for our goods else
where"
Whatever may be the anglomaniac
notion, the Northerner finds cause for
rejoicing rather than sorrow in the
fact that America is again making
her own goods. If it is crime for
this country to care for its own work
men and manufacturers, let the crime
go on.
England has never been known to
so shape her policies as to add to
American prosperity at the expense
of her own industrial welfare.

The Old Gentleman Was No Linguist. but
He Knew Life.
Mr.. Cumrox's son was studying his
Latin lesson. There was the tremolo of
encouragement in his voice as he re-
marked
81 don't seem to get along with this
lesson very we'll, father"
Cant you say any of it?"
"Yes, l can say 'amo, amas, amat,
and then l always forget what comes
next.
What does those words mean, John
n.y." asked Mr.. Cumrox who deserves
credit for being always ready to add to
q somewhat deficient early education.
''They mean L love, thou lowest, he
loves. "
1T does seem too bad to see you
startin in so soon, the old gentleman
mused, with the difficulties that have
always surrounded that verb. But you
might as well commence young to learn
that them words in one way or another
cause two thirds of the botheration that
occurs in this life. F"
please, can l quit school, them"

couldn't dodge 'em, and you might as
well go right along and get as familiar
with them as possible. You'll find that
learnin 'em amt half the worry that
handlin 'em is after you know 'em.
Cheer up, Johnny, and remember that
most of your trouble is still ahead of
you. Washington Star

THE retirement of Justice Stephen
j. Field will mark the disappearance
of one of the most remarkable fami-
lies which the United States has
known. The four sons Of David
Dudley Field, a poor clergyman of
Massachusetts-David Dudley, Steph-
en- j., Cyrus w. and Henry M.-were
all remarkable men. Each held a
high place in his particular sphere.
Cyrus, the greatest of them all, had
a name which was known in every
country in the world. To smaller
extent the other three have had an
international reputation also. David
and Cyrus are dead, Stephens life
work is virtually finished, and Henry,
the youngest of them, who is now rs
years of age, though still connected
with the New York Evangelist" is
seldom heard of by the world. With
their departure the glory of the
family dies. Not one of them has
a son who can transmit the luster Of
their name to another generation. In
the Field case, as in many other in
stances which can be mentioned, the
truth of the old saying is exemplifed
that "great men leave no continu-
ance."

DR.. Mcdonald
The Specialist.
Office Parlors at the Dyckman
House, Paw Paw, on
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29.
One Day Only Each Month.

One Day Only Each Month.
DR.. Mcdonald has for years
made study and speciality of
chronic and lingering diseases
that require skillfull medical
treatment for their cure; such
cases as family physicians fail to
help and pronounce incurable are
particularly solicited, especially
those over dosed with strong
mineral drugs and poisons. DR..
Mcdonald uses only the purest
medicines from the vegetable
kingdom. He pays attention to
the cause of the disease and in
structs his patients the way to
health and happiness.
DR.. Mcdonald can show hun
dreds of testimonials in the hand
writing of grateful patients who
have been cured by him, when
others fail. He is so familiar
with the human system that he
is able to read all diseases of the
mind or body correctly at glance
without asking any questions.
Thousands of invalids are being
treated daily for diseases that
they do not have, while a few
drops of medicine directed to the
seat of the disease would give
speedy relief and permanent cure
in very short time. Good health
is the most precious jewel in our
crown of happiness. With it the
world is bright, without it, misery
claims us for her own. If you
are sufferer you should weigh
we'll these words; a person who
neglects his health is guilty of
great wrong to himself and a
grave injury to humanity. The
name of DIR. Mcdonald, the we'll
known specialist in the cure of
chronic and lingering diseases,
has become a household word in
thousands of homes which his
skill and wonderful remedies have
made happy by restoring dear
ones to health after all hopes
were lost The doctor ;s a Grad
