The constant threat that the
Curtis law will be enforced in
case tho treaty fails has no terrors
for the intelligent Cherokee cil-
zens. The Curtis law would not
be repealed by the ratihcAlion Of
the treaty, and we would have not
only IL TO contend with but the
treaty also. The two together con-

case against two fullblood Indians
who were charged with heinous
offense. The Indians were con.
victed, but the verdict did not
provide for capital punishment.
Because OF the peculiar actions Of
the prosecuting witness toward the
Indians after the offense was said
to have been committed and other
little incidents which sprung up
at the trial, Judge Gill refused to
sentence the men to imprisonment
for life prefering to more carefully
weigh the testimoney. The men
were ordered brought to this city
in May for sentence.

Authentic information has been
received that the agents Of the
Delaware Indians are selecting the
choice lands along Grand River
for their allotments, or a portion
of them, in anticipation that the
treaty will be ratified and that
they will receive their 157 800
acres in addition to their regular
allotment. Besides the choice lots
along Grand River they have al
ready selected some the best lands
in other portions Of the nation.
When we use the word "they" we
do not mean the Delaware Indians
but certain of their attorneys and
agents who hope to grow rich out
Of the distribution of lands.

The Tenth district republicans,

Aplin has long been figure in east
ern Michigan politics, and upon many
occasions has demonstrated his abili-
ties as politician. As chairman of
the congressional committee in Mr..
Crumps three campaigns he was
largely responsible for the splendid
showing his candidate made at the
polls. His career had not been con-
fined to managing campaigns for 9th
ers either as he was twice elected
auditor general upon the republican
state ticket. Mr.. Aplin's nomination
was made on the twenty-second ballot
which, when it is considered there
were eight or ten favorite sons to
select from, was particularly good
showing. The preliminary canvass
and the convention, while spirited,
were marked by good nature. With
Mr.. Aplin in congress the Tenth dis
trict will be ably represented.

In many of the towns of Southern
Michigan cement walks are being put
down at from 619c to 719c per square
foot. In Albion the price is 712c and
the city pays half the amount.
Whether this is the result of the new
cement industry which has recently
been developed in this state or not it
is hard to state, but ii is certain that
the price has become considerably re-
duced in many places and that it is
today the most economical walk in
the long run that can be built, as well
rs giving the best appearance to the
streets. The BANNER favors the re-
bate plan in Bedding which has been
tried in so many other cities and vii
lagos, and given, so far as we have
been able to discover, satisfaction in
every instance. They are public
benefit and it is entirely fitting and
proper that at least portion of the
expense should be paid from the pub
lie funds. Bedding claims to be an
up-to-date town and is in most things,
but in this matter of cement walks,
she is little slow. Better late than
never, however and we have faith
that our city fathers will see it later
if not sooner.

BANNER.
The editor of the BANNER don't be-
lieve in newspaper quarrels. AS a
rule they are needless and take up a
great deal of space which might be
utilized to far better advantage from
the standpoint of the general reader,
whom we are here to please. Conse-
quently what we have to say in an
swer TO the'essay i'm last weeks Star
will be made as brief rs possible, and
will end the matter as far as we are
concerned, unless new developments
arise which have to be treated from
the standpoint of news matter, which
was our only intention in what was
said in the BANNER of two weeks ago.
We have no quarrel with the pres
ent editor of the Star, with the new
owners, or the Citizens Light
Co. The parties interested in the lat
ter have seemed to think that we
were opposed to them ever since the
two years ago and have taken pains
to draw away from the office as much
business as possible, but we leave it to
all disinterested parties if they have
not had fair treatment at our hands,
in fact refrained from criticism when
perhaps it would have been justified.
1t is a matter of regret to the editor
of the BANNER that this electric
light fight enters SO prominently in
all our local affairs, we wish it were
otherwise, and we started out with
the intention of giving both sides abb
solute fair play in all treatment in
our columns.
The article published in the BAN
NER was absolutely true we have
reason to believe and we hold to the
statements therein made. What
changes have taken place since our
statement or may take place in the
immediate future we know not, but
we gave it as it stood then. We are

our informants but could do so if
necessary and can say their reputa-
ton for truth and veracity is not us

If it is a square business deal and
the purchasers are not afraid or
ashamed to be known why do they not

themselves. Mr.. Tucker has stated
time and again in private during the

About this time of the year over

worse. 1t seems it is impossible to
make roads by the present system.
A road commissioner who will pillow
up the road should be asked to immed-
lately resign his Office and someone
appointed who is up-to-date and knows
his business. The road bed should
never be broken by pillow, but should
be gradually raised from year to year
until it is higher than the ground on
either side. Systemic the work, re-

At the last National convention of
the Modern Woodmen society, held in
ST. Paul (Minn.) last June, resolu-
tion was adopted providing for the
appointment of a committee of five
on revision of assessment rates. This
committee will formulate various
propositions for a change in plan and
these propositions will be submitted
to the membership for discussion next
January, through the columns of the
society's official paper, a copy of
which goes to each member. At the
next biennial convention, to be held
at indianapolis, Ind. in June, 1903, the
plan which seems to be the most pop
ular with the membership will be
finally adopted. In December, 1900,
the membership of the Modern Wood
men society voted on a proposition to
establish a reserve fund, and it was
defeated by majority of $4,000.
