GOVERNOR ROoSEVELTS MESSAGE.

Governor Roosevelt's fl st message Is good
sxamn,e of that common sense which he COM
mended so highly in H. inaugural address. He
takes IN the problems Of State government as
he would take up business propositions, and
deals with them frankly and evidently with
no object except to reach the best and most
practicable solutions for the benefit or the
whole people There IS absolutely no attempt
In the message to play politics or make in any
case a worse appear better reason. Abuses
arc pointed out without regard to their In
trenchment in any political class or sectional
interest The Civil Service abuses and canal
announcement of the politicians are con-
demned along with the treatment of State
charitable institutions as If they were local
perouistes by people where they ere situated.
Rigdd factory acts and labor-law enforcement,
biennial sessions of the Legislature. the present
Excise law and tax reform all receive his ap-
p,oval. Notwithstanding the fact that he may
thereby hurt the feelings of some manufacture
ers and corporations. anger the liquor interest,
disturb people who fear attempts at theoreti-
cally inst taxation as likely to cost them money
while relieving others and ALLEVIATE the SYM
nathy AZ the Albanians who cannot be pleased
TO have q man come among them TO deprive
+hem of A valuable source Of income. And not
only does he signify his conventional sympathy
with these reforms. hut wherever necessary he
makes practical recommendations for carrying
them into elect.
Perhaps the most interesting part OF the
message is that dealing with Civil Service Re
form. Governor Roosevelt has no use for the
"starchlcss" kind. and does not hesitate to say
40 with refreshing frankness. He goes as FAR
In support Of the merit system as any desp!sed
"perfectionist" could desire. The present meth

produced in the state. 1t is wise
economy, for once established upon a
satisfactory footing, competition will
result, as it ever has, in cheapening
the product, and the bounty will be re-
pealed, having served it's purpose of
enriching the state beyond computa-
ton. Such bounties are designed to
be tentative and temporary. Help the
sugar and iron industries to a firm
footing, and generations to come will
rise to bless you.
Says a writer in the Minneapolis
Tribune:
Not long ago Michigan passed a
state law giving a bonus of l cent
a. pound for term of years on beet
sugar made in the state. There is to-
day a furore in Michigan for the con-
struction of beet sugar factories.
Probably not less than $40, 900, 900 will
be expended in the state this year in
their erection. Hardly a Michigan
paper that one picks up but has an
nouncements of one or more new prof
ects and new plants. The Legislature
will this winter probably repeal the
bounty provision, for it has done it's
work, and new plants coming in here
after can stand on their own bottoms
Michigan is no stranger to the state
bounty idea, and seems to like it.
Years ago the state provided a
bounty on the manufacture of salt,
amounting to 30 cents a barrel and in
a few years the industry was more
firmly seated there than in any other
part of the union. The bounty was
long ago repe aled, but Michigan salt
controls the markets.
It paid Michigan-it will pay Min
neSOta.

The Band Concert.

The Sank Centre Brass band gave
a promenade concert and dance on
Thursday last, and without exception
it was one o. the best concerts the
band has given in years. The band,
as it is now, is in the best condition it
has been for some time as an organ
ization that any city might be proud
Of. Mr.. Mansell, the director, is a
and it is by his untiring efforts that
the band has made such marked i'm
prOvement. 1t is necessary in organ
izations of this kind to weed out the
ones that are not competent to fill the
several positions. Mr.. Mansell has
used good Judgment in this matter,
and now. though not SO large in num-
bers, he has a band that is composed
of musicians and one that will keep
advancing. The numbers played by
the band were rendered in fine style,
good attack, good colQring and shad-
ing, and the audience enjoyed every
piece, and the boys are to be con-
graduated. Our citizens are always
ready to help and assist just such Or
CARNATIONS il every way they can,
and the large audience present on
Thursday evening was in evidence Of
this fact.
The music for the dance program
was furnished by the Symphony or
chestra, and it was the best
dance music eyer heard IN this city.
The orchestra is composed of must
clans. There is no trouble hure-
they are able to play any kind of
music at sight and every number was
a gem, and many of the pieces they
played had to be repeated before the
dancers were satisfied.
The band boys feel very grateful to
all who purchased tickets. 1t costs
quite sum TO keep up the band. There
are many expenses and this is the only
way in which they can meet them.
Just such another entertainment in the
near future will be the proper caper.

Golden wedding.

From physical appearances no one
could suspect that Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam S. Richards, of the township of
Sank Centre, were eligible to the cele-
bration of their golden wedding-and
one would search far and near for so
young an appearing couple who had
experienced a half century of married
life.
On Saturday evening last, sur
rounded by their children, grand
children and host of personal
friends Mr.. and Mrs. Richards cele-
brated their golden wedding, and it
was delightful affair. All present
entered into the spirit of the occasion,
and the central figures of the event
were carried backward at a bound to
the heyday of their youth. Few par
ents have been more abundantly
blessed in their children than they.
AL Of them are men and women, some
Of Them no longer to be classed
strictly as young, rejecting credit
upon their parentage.
Mr.. Richards was born on January
Is, 1880, at Columbus Indiana, and
his wife, Mary NJ. Fitch, was born
February % at East Union, Ohio.
They were married at Columbus on
February 4, 1919, removing to Roches-
ter, Mimi, in 1856. Three years later
they made their home at Hastings,
where they resided until 1864, when
they came to Sank Centre, where
they have since resided. Nine chill
dren were born to them: Rosetta A.,
married J. Fl. Garfield, Frances NJ,
married H. H. Spencer, Isabel E.,
married c. F. Whitney, Elizabeth c.,
married A. I.Wilcox, Eugene A., mar
ried Mary Woolford, Nettie B., mar
ried Geo. M. Rice; Robert, died on
December rs, 1867 in infancy Clara ",
married w. G. Smith and William
H., married Edith Craig; Mrs. Spen-
Ger died on Jauly q, 1896.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richards have earned
the esteem of a large circle of friends,
and have impressed themselves deeply
and indelibly upon the community in
which they have lived so many years.
Hearty congratulations are extended
them, coupled with the hope that they
may long be spared to enjoy the af-
fiction and regard of their host
of friends.
