Spaln's Mourning Stamp.

AS means of paying off the war
debt, which is claimed to be 1900, ,000, 900
pesetas (s4OO, ,OOO, ,OOO), the Spanish gov
ernmer has issued stamp of mourning,
which is to be used on all the inland

stamp, which is of the denomination OF
of five pestas zone cent, is printed in
sombre black and must be affixed to all
mail matter in addition TO the regular
postage stamp. The Spanish Govern
ment has occasionally issued stamps of
this character, the use of which was
voluntary, but not so with this one
Every piece of mail matter for inland

Vote for Good Roads.

On Monday next the voters of Alma
will be called on TO vote for or against
the bonding of the village for 81, 900 for
street improvements The tax payers
have been asked 10 do this by the pro-
moters of an institution that will double
the inhabitants of Alma in five years
and one that any live Michigan town
would have been willing to bond for S2O,.
600 and paid bonus if they could have
procured it. The history of Michigan
towns that have spent money literally
on their streets is, that nothing can be
done that will increase trade and draw
new residents into live town like good
streets.
We are informed that the s., 600 will
purchase a stone crusher, road plow ana
six ton roller and macadamize about
five blocks with crushed stone or gravel.
just which viii be used has not been de-
cided. Many favor coarse gravel, while
others, crushed stone. This of course
will be settled by the council when they
have been authorized by the people TO
make the improvements The figures al
ready secured are on crushed stone, but
of course the cheapest and the best will
be used. Six blocks would be a nice
start for the first year and with the tools
on hand each year, side streets can be
put in shape that never could be ac-
complshed, and with less money than
year at present. Side streets properly
shaped up with plow and grader and
then rolled with a roller, like the one
proposed and then by putting two inches
OF crushed stone on, almost makes a
pavement We are sorry to hear that
some are opposing the question, but we
are satisfied that they have been misled.
All kinds of stories are ahoat, such as
the crusher costs S2, 900, when. as a mat
ter of fact the three ,crusher, ,plow and roll
Ter, cost less than 81 POO. Another that
il cost s., 900 TO macadamiZe two blocks.
This can be assured by statement
from one of the best contractors in Mich
igan, that that amount will macadamize
six blocks with catch basins and stone
or brick cutters.
No man with the interests of Alma at
heart can oppose this measure. The
advance in property and the increased
population will almost pay the debt
when due. Let US wake up, Se enter
prising and not train in the steps of
many towns that are going backwards
for the lack of little push. The town
that hustles and branches out is like the
business man, sure to succeed. Alma
has a bright future before her in the
next ten years, but each and every per.
son must do their share, not set down
and expect one man to do it all without
some assistance on our part Vote for
the bond and prove TO Michigan that
Alma is the cleanest and best town
within her borders.

WILSON & WEBB.
The Firm Name of the New Grocery
men in the POllaSky Block.

For some time il has been known that
Win Wilson intended TO move his gro
Gerry stock into the corner store in the
Pollasky block, but not until the latter
part of last week was it known that he
would take a partner with him when he
moved, and then it was learned that
Byron S. Webb had purchased half
interest in the business and that from
this time on the grocery trade in this
part Of the town would be served by a
very strong combination. Mr.. Webb
went TO Detroit the latter part OF last
week and while there placed orders for
a large amount of goods with which 10
swell the stock so as TO have one of the
best equipped groceries in the county.
The carpenters finished their work on the
shelving so that Mr.. Wilson could move
his stock in on Saturday night last, and
ever since goods have been arriving as
fast as the clerks could find place to put
them on the shelves. The store has all
been trimmed very neatly and il can be
truthfully said that a cleaner or neater
store does not exist Mr.. Wilson's long
experience in the grocery business
places him in position to handle this
store to the best of advantage, both to
himself and his customers, while Mr..
Webb will carry with him into the new
firm an acquaintance with the people of
over fifteen years. Success to the new
firm.

NEW p OBLIGATIONS
The February Forum.

The current number of THE Forum"
completes the twenty-sixth volume, and
it may with propriety be said hat the
magazine, with increasing years, shows
no sign of decadence, but, on the con-
trary, preserves it's virility unimpaired.
In the February issue there are two ar
ticles of especial Importance at the pres
time. One is by Commander r. B.
Bradford on "Coaling Stations for the
Navy" This officer. as is well known.
has seen much active service, and in
bringing the necessity of coaiing-stations
before the public his effort has been, as
he says, to deal with facts. The other
paper is by Hon. David J. Hill, Assistant
Secretary of State, md is entitled THE
War and the Extension of Civilization"
Mr.. Hill approaches his subject from a
new standpoint, and claims that the
terms imperialism and expansion do
not meet the case. A more fitting phrase.
he considers, to designate the aims and
achievements of the nation is the extern
sion of civilization; for 1t expresses the
motive and controlling principle of the
war and of the treaty by which, when
ratified, 1t Is to be concluded. Hon. Chas.
DENLY contributes to the same number
some further arguments Why the
Treaty should be ratified

LEGAL AID BRANCH OPENED.
Opened in Whittier House Yesterday
With Miss Philbrook in Charge.

Jersey City can now boast of an office
where the poor may receive legal aid and
legal advice for a mere song. Yesterday
the office of the Jersey City branch of
this organization was opened in the dis
pensary at Whittier House, with Lawyer
Mary Philbrook in charge from four to
hve in the afternoon. During that time
Miss Philbrook had three applicants.
All kinds of law cases will be taken up
by this organization, from a divorce to
a trolley or other accident, and many
young lawyers, who make a livelihood by
procuring large damages in case of ac-
cident, where the client is unable to pay
at the regular rates. and then taking half
as a just compensation, will find them
selves the sufferers. Money sharks Of
all kinds will also feel the effect of this
movement, and much property is likely
to be saved for it's rightful owners. AL
ready three suits for non-support, one in
Jersey City; two divorce cases. three
suits for recovery of wages and several
cases of chattel mortgage have been
either won or satisfactorily settled.
The president is Miss Cecilia Gaines, of
Jersey City; Mrs. Caroline B. Alexander,
of Hoboken, is vice president; Mrs. S.
r. Krom, of Plainfeld, secretary, and Mrs.
James Benny, of Bayonne, is treasurer.

The Newark Avenue Boom.

It gives US sincere pleasure to endorse
the action of the Newark avenue mer-
chants at their meeting, last night, in
practically all its details. We are heartily
In favor of the Improvement and develop
ment Of this leading business thorough
fare Of the city. and we are willing to go
to any length to help the merchants to
realize any reasonable demands they may
tnake.
The Avenue should be asphalted, and
IN the summer it should be carefully
swept n sprinkled. Business in dry
goods and millinery cannot be properly
condut-ed ON a filthy street. The dust is
a greater detriment to the goods than two
seasons handling would be.
We are also in favor of the concentra-
ton of as many lines of cars as possible
at the shopping centre. We lay so often
dweit on the need of centralizating the
city at some one business district, that it
is unnecessary for us to go into details
ou IHe SuuJeCi ijOns II II thS PbihioA
need of our municipal life.
We are glad to see that the merchants
zee the beam in their own eye. The talk
regarding signs and awnings and frame
rookeries at last nights meeting was all
In the right direction. 1t is just as neces-
sary TO have these disigurements and
dangers cleared away as it is to have the
causeway improved. The sidewalks, also,
need attention. Let the merchants shake
up the Street and Water Board by all
means. But let them show their good
faith by making all improvements in their
W power at the same time.
No doubt they will get anything in
reason that they ask from the city
authorities, for, TO put it on 10 higher
plane, any party that happens to be in
power will find 1t good politics to meet
the views of these influential citizens. and
to spend the public money in a locality
where its good results will be so apparent
to all citizens.
