Editorial Comments OF the Grand
Press Upon the Good Roads
banquet.

According to the maker of cynical
proverbs the way 10 mans heart
lies through his stomach. At Belding
Thursday night the truth of this ven
cradle saying is to be put to the test
in a somewhat novel cause, and an eff
fort will be made to reach the brain
as well as the heart For the stom-
ach's sake a banquet will be provided
and when the path to the heart and
brain has been made straight and
smooth, good road arguments will be
driven home Banquetj and their ac-
companying feasts Of reason have
long been used TO keep political en-
thusiasm at white heat, but the
idea is somewhat new in good roads
campaigning Whether it will prove
a brilliant discovery in its new appli-
cation remains to be seen.
The great need of the good roads
movement is the active, earnest, sub
stantial interest of every person who
may in any way receive benefit from
it. That interest has been difficult to
arouse. Many persons who should be
enthusiastic workers in The cause are
either in the rut of lazy indifference
or are fearful that the reform will
strike their pocketboo6s too hard. If
these persons could be awakened to a
vivid realization Of all the benefits
that would result TO them from the
possession of improved highways, they
would doubtless become strenuous
supporters Of the reform. The ban
quet at Belding may help the cause
by arousing latent enthusiasm.
This same town of Belding promises
to send forth a shining light in the
good roads movement. 1t has taken
up the agitation in earnest and in the
right way The business men Of the
place are among the most active
workers. They realize that smooth
highways in the country will help
them as well as the tiller Of the soil.
With both merchant and farmer en-
listed in the same cause the good
roads crusade should wax strong and
irresistible. 1t already has logic on
its side, and what it wants now is
financial support and well-directed
energy, 49,

The Lyric Ladies Of chicago.

The next number on the concert
course comes on Monday evening next
being the Lyric Ladies of Chicago.
So emphatic has been the success of
this most admirable organization for
several seasons past there is little
that need be said of it. 1t consists of
the ladies quartet, and everyone a
cultivated soloist, and lady violinist
and entertainer
The first Of the course Of entertain
ments arranged for by the managers
of the Canonsburg Lecture Associa-
ton, was given in the opera house
Tuesday evening TO an audience which
completely filed the large hall. The
Lyric Ladies of Chicago elected the
the most favorable comment i'm fact,
we believe that no musical program
ever rendered in the opera house has
given such universal pleasure and
satisfaction Grand Delightful"
THE Best YETI were the eXclama-
tions heard on every hand. The ladies
are artists of high order and their
singing called forth numerous encores
to which they cheerfully responded.

The last literary work in which the
late Governor Pingree was engaged
was largely labor of love. 1t was
the story of the Beers. While the
governor was in London in February
of last year he became so interested
in the great tragedy of South Africa
that he determined to view it at first
hand and give the American people
his impression
The trip to the Boer republics fol-
lowed and Mr.. Pingree went at his
task with his customary nervous
energy and directness. He inter
viewed the chief actors in the great
drama, tramped over battlefields and
thumbed documents When he sailed
from Africa he had collected much
valuable material. and the months
voyage from Durham to Marseilles
was spent in preparing it for publica-
ton. Then came his fatal illness in
London, and the manuscript has been
slowed away in his library until re-
Gently when Eli Sutton, his literary
executor, found time to give the final
chapter the finishing touches.
Keen interest will be felt in Hazen
$. Pingree's last message to the
American people and The Press is
glad to be able to announce that it
has secured the publication rights for
Western Michigan. "The Story of
the Beers" will begin in next Satur-
days Press No matter whether the
rerder agrees with the Pingree con-
clusions, he cannot avoid admiring
the vivid, trenchant style and the
Pingree frankness in calling a spade
a spade.

SPEAKERS FOR GRIDLEY CLUB.
The List is now Completed for the
Annual Banquet to be Held
Jan. 81


The oratorical bill of fare which
I the officers of the Gridley club are
preparing for those who attend the
annual banquet on the evening OF
Friday, January 81, will equal any
that have preceded it, and that is
saying a good deal.
! Governor Bliss will talk about
michigan" and it need never be
doubted that he will have something
TO say that will make us proud we are
'Michiganders."
"Some Problems of the Future by
Ex-Governor John 7. Rich, is topic
full of suggestment and Gov. Rich
never fails to do justice to any sub
ject that he touches.
Hon. Charles Z. Townsend. of Jack
son, is well known as one of the most
polished orators in the state. His
voice has been often heard in state
conventions and he is always digni-
fed, scholarly and impressive. He
will discuss Republican Possibil-
tiles"
Charles A. Blair, of Jackson, son of
the late Austin Blair, the war gov
ernor," is the worthy son of a noble
sire. He is a profound student, a
most dignitied and courteous gentle
man, and a speaker who ranks with
the best in the state. His topic is
DESTINY
Perry f. Powers, auditor general of
the state, has long been regarded as
one of Michigan's most brilliant
young men. He has been heard in
lonia. once before at least, and his
speech will be one of the most enjoy
able course TO III intellectual feast.
Patrick II. Kelly, of Detroit, men,
Der of the state board of education,
has never spoken in Ionia, but those
who heard him i'm the other counties
during the last political campaign,
speak of him as one of the most effec-
tive orators sent out by the republi-
can state central committee.
Judge Wolcott is judge of the super
ior court in Grand Rapids. and his
presence may be regarded as high
honor to the Gridley club His ad-
dress on citizenship" will certainly
be one of the most thoughtful and
noteworthy in this list of unusual ex-
cellence.
General Henry NJ. Dutiield of De-
troit, a polished orator, and a veter-
an of two wars, will discuss some
phase of "Our Insular Possessions -"
in addition to this array of brilliant
speakers nearly if not quite, all of
the state officers will be present as
guests of the club.
That so good a bill of fare will at
tract large attendance to the ban
quet seems assured. Every republic
can in the county ought to be there.

BELT LINE BUYS
 FOUR CITY BLOCKS
PROPERTY WAS SOLD FOR $too,ooo BY THE BIRMINGHAM REALTY COMPANY TO HARRY M. ATKlN- SON AND ASSOCIATES.

The four blocks of property between Fourteenth and Eighteenth streets. on the southside. bounded by Powell avenue and Avenue A, purchased last winter from the Birmingham Realty company by Harry M. Atkinson and associates un- der the name of the Railway Construction and Manufacturing company, and after wards combined with the Belt Line prop critics, was yesterday transferred to the Birmingham Belt Railroad company, now owned by the St. Louis and San Francis co railroad.
 The consideration for this property when purchased last winter was s100,0O0
 It is not yet known whether the Frisco people will use this property for depot purposes or whether they will sell it as warehouse property. By virtue of the fact that it is located adjoining the Belt Line and the Alabama Great Southern railway tracks, it would be very valu- able for storage warehouses and 5mall manufacturing enterprises.
