Blanche Vaughn of Portland, candi-
date for county school commissioner
on the Democratic ticket, was in the
city Monday and called on many OF
the citizens in the interests of her
candidacy. Miss Vaughn is bright
and intelligent young lady and posi-
bly, there would be no question but
that she would make a good officer.
We haye heard of no argument, how
ever, in her favor that would lead us
to vote against Mr. Scott the Repub-
lican nominee by crossing a ballot IA
voring her for the position. Mr.
Scott's long experience in educational
work has fitted him in a special man
ner for the place and it should be the
duty of his party and friends to elect
him

The Republicans of Michigan never
presented to the people better
ticket than is presented for their
SURFACES this spring. The NOM
inees on the rtate ticket are
men of conceded ability, each
being exceptionally well qualified for
the position he seeks. Each is en-
titled to the support of every member
of his party and worthy of the suffrage
of every citizen of the State regard
less of party affiliations. The nom
inees of the Republican party are
high minded men of unsullied reputa-
ton. In their official capacity as
in their private careers they will dc
honor to- themselves and to the State

Oh, how many sad lives we might
brighten five would only.scatter.seeds
of kindness all around the way. We
often keep back the word Of encourage
ment, the smile or look of love until
it is too late, then we think OF what
we might have done. Don't wait I'M
til your friends are dead before you
offer the words their hungry hearts
can understand. Speak to them ten
derby and you may guide them to the
way of right and duty. Your own
heart will be happy as theirs. Don't
forget the sweet maxim: {" A little
word in kindness spoken will often
heal heart that's broken" Try it.

young lawyer in Newark, N. j who
began writing short stories for amuse-

he has written over fifty, most OF
which he is said to have succeeded in

BY an odd incident the cabin in
which Abraham Lincoln was born
and another cabin of logs which was
associated with the life of Jefferson
Davis, have become mixed up and
timber of both structures now makes

fact came about through the efforts

1t is not necessary to remind voters
that next Monday is election day and
that state, county, township and mu
nicipal tickets are to be elected, In
this city two tickets are presented
for consideration, republican and
democrat. w. F. Bricker has been
placed at the head of the latter and
it is as natural for him to want TO win
out as it is for the nominee on the re-
publican ticket to desire the same.
Mr.. Bricker is a good man there is no
question about that. Every citizen
knows it and his published platform
is one which all can endorse. The

Bishop Charles N. Fowler gave some
salutary advice about marriage to
Methodist candidates for the ministry
at the New Jersey conference the
other day. 81 hope" he said, you
each have a good wife. If you have
not, get one, and do not marry her
because she is pious. Marry her be-
cause she has good common sense. II
had two women to choose from, one
having common sense and the other
only religion, would take the wom-
an With common sense. A woman
who is only religious may back slide,
and have no doubt we give them
plenty of cause for it, but a woman
who has common sense will not expect
us to be saints"
The good bishop probably assumes
that clergyman should have enough
religion for the whole family. Too
much piety might be embarrassing.
