Leaving explicit instructions as to her
case with Mrs. Clum. he left home, eI-

Are You A Builder?

The below is clipped from the ed
itonal columns Of the Traverse City
Evening Record, and there is quite a
bit Of good common sense in the
article.
"a few davs ago gentleman was In
Traverse City with desire of locating
mere. He had heard others speaking
well Of the city, its industrial advan-
tages, its schools, its value as home
city and had Just about made up his
mind to locate here permanently. He
was conrersing with citizen, when
the man made the remark, did you
know there's fully one hundred cases

ply, Il don't think I'll come here !
was given TO understand that Traverse
City was healthy" The laugh of the
citizen dlspelled all doubt and the bus
mess man who desired TO locate left.
THAT was only one instance. We
could cite many Others but they all
show the same thing. That report was
utterly without truth. 1t not only
gave the city bad name but it dis
cOuraged someone who undoubtedly
would come here, settled and became a
part of the business lite Of the city.
"Qui non profcit deficit is an old
Latin motto, which Translated into
plain Anglo Saxon means, "IIe who
does not progress, retrOgates," and il
it's true Of man it's true of city
because cities are made through men
II new people do not come in, if new
industries. are not attracted, if new
capital does not take hold Of natural
advantages, city will go so far and
no farther. 1t will get into a rut and a
rut that is deep and trends only in one
direction, down hill.
"a city never progressed through i'll
speaking by its inhabitants. A town
was never built by one who was ready
to magnify rumor. One who speaks
I'LL Of his home city is not builder
but destroyer. Twenty enemies
without are easier withstood than one
traitor within. And yet, the "knock-
er" keeps going along, without comp
ensatiop, even perhaps marring his
own hTiness, yet cheerfully contented
because he or she has chance to
speak ill of his or her own and work
injury instead of good"

that we have no institution in Amer

The war drums beat upon the shore.

And watching nations wait once more
For what the end may be.
New herots rise and men go down
Defeated and disgraced.
And yonder in the smoking town
Are corpseS interlaced.
And after all is done a few
Will have the gains, and then
The rest will plow and dig and hew
And carry brick again.

ciple of direct nominations and recon-
mends its adoption by the various
conventions to be held throughout the
state:
Primary Election Reform in Mich
igan means the nomination vf candi-
dates for public Office by direct vote of
the people. The great reformatlOns
effected in our general eleotionS
through the Australian ballot inspire
us with confidence TO apply the same
method IN making nominations. 90
that every voter,may exercise hiS so-
vereign right OF choice by direct vote
without the intervention or ipterfer.
ence of any political agency. The
people OF Michigan demand the en-
actment of snch a law. We therefore
demand that caucuses and Conventions
for the nomination OF candidates for
state, legislative, congressional and
county Offices be nominated 10 a
primary election, upon the same day,
by direct vote, under the ustralIan
Ballot.

ELKS PARADE
WAS THE MOST UNIQUE IN
ORDERS HISTORY.

Cincinnati, July 20.-The Elks
parade was the greatest and most
unique in the history of the order.
Nearly one hundred lodges were in
line, with many bands.
The streets along the line Of march
were crowded 20 suffocation. The
floats and costumes caused continuous
applause as the parade passed.
There has been much said during
the week about the administration
favo,ing certain ones as their success.
sors In the offices of the grand lodge.
]. W. 0'Brien, Jr.. of Baltimore was
called the administration" candidate
for grand exalted ruler. As there were
but two candidates for grand exalted
ruler, the lines are said TO have been
drawn rather distinctly on the ballot,
which resulted as follows: W. J..
O'Brien, Jr., of Baltimore, no;
Samuel II. Needs of Cleveland, $40
majority of O'Bren, 1871.
So much time was occupied in sec.
ending speeches for o'Brien that a
limitation was put on them.

A NEW POINT
BONDSMEN NOT LIABLE 10 IN.
DIVIDUALS FOR ACTS OF
OFFICERS.

Chief Collins and the other officers
who were made defendants iu tins
damage suits filed yesterday, do moi
think they will amount to anything
but it is of course unpleasant for then
to have to 20 to court in the matter
and they regret that their bondsmen
were made parties.
According to Lieutenant Harlan,
who watches such cases very closely,
the court of appeals has held that
even where an officer exceeds his su-
thority. which they do not think was
done in these GASES, his bondsmen are
never liable to individuals, but to the
city. If sn officer does anything that
justi6es a suit for damages, the city
is liable to the person or persons in
jured, and the city has to make il
good from the bondsmen.

Says the City Has Debts Paid
and is $40, 900 to the Good.
IL Much GratiHed with the Good Work
Done BY the Board Of Public
Works.
5ss BLOCKS OF STREET HERE

Mayor ID. A. Yeiser was feeling
unusually good today, when a reporter
madq his daily call, for he and Auditor
Alex Kirkland, after checking up &C
counts, found that the city was in a
good financial condition, II only tenn
porarily.
To date there is about $40, 900 on
hand, with all current debts paid ex.
cept possibly $1,000 or IS, 900 that
goes to the schools. After this is paid
the city will still be $4,000 to the
good, according to the mayor. This
really signifies little, however. except
that we are in good shape for the time
being, as the fiscal year Is no. near
over and the city has great deal to
pay between now and then, including
the salaries Of all the new firemen
when the additional stations are COM
plete, no appropriation for which was
made when the last levy was made.
The mayor is particularly pleased,
and apparently not without reason, at
the splendid work accomplished by
the board Of public works This board
took hold several months ago, aud has
made many changes that are profit
able to the city, a. we'll as sour ce of
comfort TO the public.
There are now in Psducah bs2
blocks Of graveled streets and the
board has charge Of every one Of
them, aud IL trying TO get them in
shape and keep them in good condi-
ton, having very small appropria.
tion with whioh.to do it. Many of the
streets have been narrowed and -olled
and placed IN good condition, no new
gravel being used on them.
Mayor Yeiser says he is pleased
with the condition Paducah 10 in, and
with the prospects for it's remaining
that way.
