tion.

active life applied In politics, business,
industrial and social life.

useful life.

Michigan and the Republican Party
All Right.

The following is summary of Gov.
Bliss address at the annual banquet of
the Gridley Club held in Ionia:
Gov. Bliss said that at no time since
the civil war has Michigan been so
prosperous as it is today, and that in
such moment it was well to pause
and take stock. It's people have been
satisfied with the republican party's
administration of its affairs, else they
would not so unvaryingly have re.
turned it to power.
"This would not have been done had
not the people been we'll satisfied, "
said the governor. zone foreign to
state affairs would think, if he listened
to the opposition, that Michigan is on
the verge of revolution. but after the
fighting and the mouthings are over,
he finds the state as solidly republican
as OF yore."
Gov. Bliss called attention to the
need for better primary election laws
He recommended no plan for reform,
but believed it should be such as would
ensure expression from the largest
possible number of people. Politicians,
he said, had always been with us and
always would be. Political battles, he
believed, always brought forward men
skilled in that line of warfare, and, he
said, "The larger the number of men
with that knowledge the better for the
welfare of the people"
The governor hoped for better pri-
mary elections, and said he had signed
four bills seeking that end, notably two
acts applying to Kent county, and that
so long as he is governor he would
work Cor the betterment of laws regu.
lating primary elections.
The governor declared, however,
that he was not in favor Of special
session of the legislature to frame a
primary election measure. He thinks
the people are heartily sick of special
sessions, and will approve his refusal
to call one to pass primary election
law for Detroit. Anyway, he does not
believe a proper measure could be
framed in 30 days.
"There is another thing Michigan is
in need Of" continued the governor.
land that is a more vigorous enforce
ment of law. / have no respect for

the opposition to the oleo anti-color

ItPaYs to be Courteous.

A noted writer has well said: MAN
ner is the ornament of action; in
deed, good action without a good
manner OF doing it is stripped Of half
its value" How often do we see peo-
pie do favors to others in sort Of
grudging, half-hearted way, as much
as TO say; "Well I'd rather not, but
l suppose I'll have TO help you out"
There is no virtue whatever in such
alleged kindness. In rendering IA
vors or benevolences this scripture is
especially applicable: "And whatso-
ever We do, do it heartily, as to the
Lord, and not unto men,"
1t always pays to do all things
heartily and courteously. An Illus
tration Of this fact is afforded by an
anecdote related by DR.. Samuel
Smiles.
"a story is told of poor soldier
who one day called at the shop of
hairdresser, who was busy with his
customers, and asked relief, stating
that he had stayed beyond his leave
of absence, and unless he could get
a lift on the coach, fatigue and severe
punishment awaited him. The hair
dresser listened to his story respect
fully, and gave him guinea. God
bless you sirp exclaimed the soldier,
astonshed at the amount, how can [
repay you? l have nothing in the
world bat this pulling out dirty
piece Of paper from his pocket it is
recipe for making backing; it is the
best that was ever seen. Many half
guinea l have had for it from the off,
GERS, and many bottles l have sold.
May you be able to get something for
it to repay you for your kindness to
the poor soldiern Oddly enough, that
dirty piece OF paper proved worth half
million of money TO the hairdresser.
1t was no less than the famous Day
& Martins backing; the bairdresser
being the late wealthy Mr.. Day, whose
mandatory is one Of the notabilities
Of the metropolis"

following excellent observation re-
garding the utility and value OF cul-
tivating good manners:
The cultivation Of manner-though
in excess il is foppish and foolish-is
highly necessary in a person who has
occasion to negotiate with others in
matters of business. Affability and
good breeding may even be regarded
as essential to the success of a man
in any eminent station and enlarged
sphere of life; for the want of IL has
not unfrequently been found in a
great measure to neutralize the re-
suits of much industry, integrity, and
honesty of character. There are. no
doubt, few strong, tolerant minds
that can bear with defects and an
gularities OF manner and look only
to the more genuine qualities; but the
world at large is not so forbearant,
and cannot help forming its judg-
ments and likings mainly according to
outward conduct"

At the Baptist Church.

"On the Race Course" was the
theme Of Rev. Frank S. Lyons SER
mon at the First Baptist church Sun
day morning. Text, Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, let us also, seeing we are
comprised about with SO great cloud
Of witnesses, lay aside every weight,
and the sin which doth so easily beset
US, and let US run with patience the
race that is set before us, looking un-
to Jesus the author and perfector Of
our faith" Synopsis: The Apostle
here gives us one of the strongest fig
ures possible to illustrate the chris
tian life, appealing as it does to that
innate love of victory which, though
sometimes hidden, yet under favorable
circumstances, may be awakened in
every life.
Life is comparable to race with it's
course, its preparation and its goal,
whether it be good or evil. The text
describes the christian race; its course
from earth to Heaven; its preparation,
daily prayer, study, penitance and
discipline; the goal, our Fathers
home, and the prize, the fadeless
crown OF life.
In the preceding chapter we have
the splendid roll of the heroes of faith
whose achievements glorl6ed all his
tory; these teach us by their example
what is necessary in the way Of prep
aration for the race. The need is two
fold: 1st. That which God has done
for us. I'd. That which we must do
for ourselves. He saves, teaches, in
spires and gives power. We must lay
aside every weight, and the sin that
doth so easily beset US, then run;
"look unto Jesus the author and per-
fecter Of our faith" Jesus is our per-
feet example Of faith, obedience and
service. All things were obedient to
His faith. In service, nothing was
too great for His achievement, nor SO
humble as to be beyond the reach Of
His willing hand. The foundation Of
the christians faith is not in himself,
but the running of the race is his.

FIRST M. e. Church.

The text of the evening sermon is
found In 1 Timothy lis: "This Is a
faithful saying and worthy of all &C
ceptation, that Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners" Christ did
not hesitate to come to the world, He
did not say that man was not worth
the sacrihce of His life. He knew that
He was to save the world and He came
without questioning. A physician
may go to a sick man in prison and by
the use OF his medisines may cure the
man and save his life, but he cannot
deliver him from the prison. He is a
savior but not deliverer, whereas
Jesus Christ Is both.

all of the power in enforcing this law, A"
the governor added.
Gov Bliss then took up the state tax
levy for this year, saying it would be
sa,S67, 206.15. or about sl,O00,000 less
than last year. The rate fixed by the
state board of equalization will be
1915, the lowest since 1894
81 call attention to these figures for
l believe they point the way to greatly
decreased taxation during the ensuing
two years. 1t is my opinion that the
amount required by the state during
this period should not exceed 81. 500, 900
to 100000 for ordinary needs"
The governor believed state ipstitu-
tons would need very little in special
amounts for two years. Without in.
creases in valuation by the state board
of equalization, he said there would
still have been a decrease in taxes.
The chief benefciaries of the increase,
he said, were the funds, such as the
university and the war bonds. The
appropriations which must challenge
attention, he believes, are those for
educational purposes, s441 900, and for
asylums, s343, 1000.
Reference was made to the prosper
Gus condition of the state and to new
industries that have been developed
with marvellous rapidity.
II refer especially to the beet sugar
industry" said Gov. Bliss, (which is
all important to- the welfare of the
state. 1t deserves and should have
protection. and l am convinced that
when the situation is fully understood
by congress and the president it will be
given the fullest measure of encourage
ment. Everyone in this state ewes it
to his interest to take this stand, and
call for the protection of this industry
that promises so much"
The governor briefly described the
growth of this industry until, he said,
last year the farmers of Michigan re-
ceived SO, 107, coo for their beets, as
compared with S6, 397, 600 paid for their
wheat in 1899. Laborers, he said, re-
ceived from the farmers on account of
the beet crop $1,000, 900. Thousands
of farmers, he said, were enjoying the
benefits from this industry which has
grown so marvelously in the four years
it has been established in Michigan.
with law wisely administered and
order secured, with taxes as low as
possible, with our election machinery
surrounded on every side by all possible
safeguards, and with industries all

He concluded his speech with word
picture of the future before the expand
ing commerce of the state, which he
termed:
