A Golden Weddjn0.

Wednesday, September 7, at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Rix of Oshtemo
township, occurred an event which is
given 10 but few people to enjoy the cele-
bration of their golden wedding ami
versary.
Their spacious country home was
thrown open and the generous hospi.
tally, which, tor half century, has
characterized it, made welcome the hosts
of relatives and friends who early in the
afternoon began to assemble to do honor
to Uncle Dan and Aunt Margaret" who,
smiling and happy, welcomed their
friends
The afternoon was pleasantly spent in
visiting and recalling old "reminiscences
until the supper hour arrived. The
tables were beautifully decorated with
autumn fruits and flowers, in which
goldenrod predominated, and must have
groaned with the wealth of good things
which hardly seemed diminished when
this pleasant task was over.
The success of this pleasant affair was
largely due to the efforts of the only
SUI, Dgiou MA, duu HIS Nlit duQ llc
daughter, Mrs. Louise Rix Cole.
The only cloud to mar the happiness
of the bride and groom was the unavcid-
able absence of the eldest daughter,
Mrs. Ella Rix Lapham of Chicago.
The groom presented his bride of 80
years with new wedding ring to wear
as guard to the old one which had be-
come worn and thin, and this loving gift
was the only one of value, for no presents
were requested.
Surely all who participated in this
pleasant reunion will unite in wishing
them many more pleasant anniversaries.

Two Philippine Policies.

There are some questions upon which
the American people apparently have
made up their minds, yet it seems al
most impossible for the democratic party
TO realize that fact. Is it not reasonable
10 think that the common run of Amer
lean citizen, the everyday business, pro-
fessional, industrial, agricultural citizen
has made up his mind about the Philip
pine question? Was not that settled by
the endorsement given to McKinley's
program, il the congressional election
OF 1898, the presidential election of 1900,
and the congressional election of 1902?
Did not the American people in effect
say to the republican party: Your re-
publican administration has done the
best that could be done with this ques-
ton. We did not seek the Philippines;
they were thrust upon us by the fortunes
of war, but once we had them we were
bound to make a good job and do the
best we could with them?'
And that best did not mean turning
them back to Aguinaldo and his little
group of mercenary, educated revolution
lists. 1t must be remembered that the
great bulk of the inhabitants are unedu-
Gated, superstitious, faDatical. They
form Just the mass of material which
crafty, capable aid INSCRIPTIONS men
would work upon to their own advantage.
We did what was best for them, and
the average sensible man would admit
it. We started in first to establish
peace. That had to be accomplished
by a show of force, but ii was soon
brought about. The next step was to
educate and improve them. We sent
Yankee school teachers over there, we
their towns and taught them how TO
keep them free from cholera and small
pox; we established municipal govern
ments in which the capable Filipinos
shared; we gave them advantageous
tariff terms, so that they could find a
market for their products.
We taught them cardinal principles OF
American life, namely, that a man must
work, must behave himself must inn
prove himself, if he wants to get along.
When they have advanced far enough in
these simple principles, which are as YET
an unopened book to most of them, we
will give them such need of self govern
ment "a their condition warrants.

The present campaign being carried
on in Michigan against Fred M. Warner
is remarkable one. Nothing so ma
licous or malignant has appeared in our
state politics for many years. Fred M.
Warner is man against whose integ-
rity in business not word has ever
been uttered. In private life he has
been clean and upright. He has held
positions of public trust, under the lime
light of popular criticism, and yet his
maligners do not pretend to touch a sim
gle spot in his official record where he
has been recreant to the confidence re-
posed in him, or where he has been
lacking in ability to meet every respon-
siblity that has come to him. Yet they
profess to see awful dangers coming up
on the people in the event of his cleo
ton. AS for us, we are perfectly willing
to go before the people in the state cam
paign on Fred M. Warmers private and
public record. They profess to see in
| him the tool of the railroads, because a
republican railroad commissioners was
and is among his hearty supporters. 1t
would be fully as reasonable to charge
Mr.. Ferris with being railroad tool be-
cause the chairman of the convention in
which he was nominated is the attorney
for the Grand Trunk Western, and Wei
! lngton Il. Burt, one of his chief spokes-
men and supporters, is director of the
Wabash. The fact is, neither Mr.. Warn
er nor Mr.. Ferris is owned by the rail.
roads, or anyone else. Both are, we be-
leve, clean, upright, capable men, worthy
of their partys support. One is re-
publican, the other democrat-and we
are sure the voters are not going to put
a democrat in the governors chair this
year, against clean, capable, consistent
republican like Fred NJ. Warner.

QUITE a number of persons have been
suggested as eligible for the vacancy on
the republican ticket caused by the nom
ination of Attorney General Blair for the
supreme bench. Among the names
favorably mentioned is that of our towns
man, Lincoln II. Titus. There can be
noquestion but that his nomination would
add strength to the ticket. South
western Michigan, one of the great re-
publican strongh, Is of the state, is
wholly unrepresented on the ticket, so
that, from a geographical standpoint,
his nomination would be good politics.
Mr.. Titus was born in 1860 and came to
Van Buren, county when he was but a
youngster. He studied law in this
county and was admitted to the bar 20
years ago in our own circuit court, and
has been in active practice ever since. He
served five years as prosecuting attorney
ard his administration of that office was
efficient and satisfactory to his constitu-
ents. His experience in legal affairs
would seem to have been such as to fully
equip him for the performance of the
duties Of the office for which his name
has been suggested by many of his
republican friends.

Sour Stomach.

When the quantity of food taken is
too large or the quality too rich, sour
stomach is likely to follow, and especial
ly so if the digestion has been weakened
by constipation. Eat slowly and not too
freely Of easily digested food. Masticate
the food thoroughly. Let five hours
elapse between meals, and when you
feel fullness and weight in the region
of the stomach after eating, take Cham

the sour stomach may be avoided. For
