is treating them cruelty. Most of
Us are guilty at times, and we never
stop to think that our innocent vic
Tins are utterly defenseless. Con-
slider how quickly all members of the
family suffer when one brings his
depression TO the breakfast table /;
how easily good spirits are quenohed
by one persons moroseness how
readily an atmosphere of nervous
ness, of ill nature, of physical pain
makes itself felt when there is no
effort at self-controlI Even a sulky
maid in the kitchen can bring dis
comfort to the whole household. No
one has a right to infiot his bad
feelings upon others, and we realize
this when we are the victims. But
if we have not slept we'll, or if we
have a headache after a wearisome
day, or if some business matter has
gone wrong, where is our own cheer

help us to make excuse for other

Shakespearian Lectures.

The members of the two literary clubs
of the city are to be congratulated on
the character of the lectures which
they have provided for the enjoyment
Of Owosso citizens this week. Miss
Wadsworth, of Oak Park, H., who
made such a splendid impression on
the delegates at the meetings of the
State Federation, in Ann Arbor, is cer-
tainly most inspiring Shakespearian
scholar. Her command of English is a
matter moreover of continued enjoy.
ment on the part of her hearers. Two
lecturers were given on Wednesday
and Thursday evenings and the last
one, is given this afternoon, all having
been given in the parlors of the Con.
gregational church. The lectures of
Wednesday and Thursday evenings on
the subjects of Shakespeare's Women
and Shakespeare and the Bible were
full of interest not only for Shake
spearian scholars but for others as we'll.
Besides the regular lectures Miss Wads.
worth addressed the pupils of the high
school yesterday afternoon interesting
them to a surprising degree in the
works of this master of English or all
literature. Her work cannot fail to
broaden the appreciation of Shake
speare's works in the city.

mony DR.. w. G.. Law, of Flint, sang,

march, from Mendelsshon, was played
by Miss Myra Sherwood. The decora-
tions Of the house were simple, an
arch of smilax under which the bridal
party stood during the ceremony be-
ing the most striking. More elaborate
decorations however were scarcely to
be desired in the newly furnished and
decorated house.
Mr.. Mann is one Of the bes. known
young men in the city where he has
lived the greater part of his life. He
is a graduate Of the Owosso high
school and has since graduation been a

The Beet Sugar Factory.

Hon. w. R. Burt, of Saginaw, spent
few hours in the city yesterday after
noon and at his request conference
was held in his private car with the
committee having in charge the work
of securing sugar factory for the city.
MIR. Burt stated to the committee that
he would send a check on his return
home the first of next week to pay for
the site, and desired the committee to
secure the necessary right of way to the
river across the Michigan Central
property for the water and sewer pipes.
He also suggested that work on the
construction of the plant should COM
mence as early as the lst of August
next. From advices received from the
gentlemen in Washington representing
the beet sugar interests of Michigan, Mr..
Burt is of the opinion that no change
will be made in the existing sugar
tariff.

THE CITY OF WASHINGTON.
Most Unique Municipal Government

Most Unique Municipal Government
In its internal government the city OF
Washington, ID. c., stands unique
among the cities of the world Most
cities of the world at least those of great
consequence, have their foundation In
the desire to become great commercial
centres. The rule of governmental
economics requires in such cases an
active, present and local legislative
control-the power to make. and also
to execute laws to meet exigencies
especially in the police power, without
delay. This is absolutely necessary ia
all great commercial centres.
Would it be possible to govern such
cities as Chicago, New York, London
or Paris without each having its own
legislative functions. Certainly hot.
Because of the conditions existing in
society and the spirit of commercial
enterprise, the police power must bs
made adjustable to these conditions
But the capital of the AmericaB
nation is not great commercial centre
The commercial spirit is not smiled ups
on within the District of Columbia,
Neither the sentiment of the public nof
the laws of congress favor the city OF
Washington as city of commercial
enterprise. Indeed, commerce In the
sense Of manufacturing is frowned up
on.
Congress by its action In these latef
years inclines to the sentiment of
non-commercial centre for this great
republic. It is safe to say that Wash,
ington and those who helped to lay the
foundations of the nations capital
hoped to make this spot a chosen marx
of trade as we'll as beautiful home fof
the servants of the people OF this
country. There is corroboratior of
this in the early debates in congress
and Washington's letters. Located az
the head of navigation on the Potomac,
in the broad valley Of the river easily
accessible by railways and stretching
back into the beautiful hills of Mary
land, close to the coal fields of Pennsyl'
vania and the minerals of the Virginas,
this is an ideal spot for commercial
centre as it Is for beautiful home.
The present government of Washing,
ton dates from the act of congress Feb,
81. 1871. In the act it is termed q
municipal corporation, although it Is
unlike any municipal corporation that
ever was or is. 1t includes the terri.
tory known as the District of Columbia.
This corporation is given the rights and
assumes the responsibilities in Law

glad to have them.
The response was made by Archibald
Wrigley, of the Oak Grove Farmers
Club. He described the institute as the
farmers business college, where he i'm
bibes new ideas useful to him in his
calling. 1t also taught the farmer to be
confident in public speaking.
A. H. Owens, OF Venice, spoke of
Improvement in corn culture. Mr..
Owens Is an old gentleman who has
spent useful and busy life on his farm.
His first experience in corn culture was
in 1920, when he rode horse for the
plowing and wooden plows we're In use
then; there were no cultivators until
1887. He traced the evolution of farm
ing tools to the present.
