MUST PAY S1Co..,
Michigan Central Failed to- Deliver
PASSENGER as Agreed.

Passenger as Agreed.
Lansing, Mich, Sept. 14.-Probably
the first case which was ever brought
to the supreme court to collect dam
ages against a railroad company for
failure TO deliver a passenger accord
ing to the contract, was decided by
the supreme court Tuesday afternoon.
The plaintiff, Alberta Van Camp,
was given a Judgment of $500 against
the Michigan Central Railroad Co. for
it's failure to carry her, according to
its published schedules from Ypsi-
lanti to Grand Junction without delay.
The time card showed aatrain leaving
Kalamazoo soon after,-the arrival OF
the train from Ypsilant, but the train
had been discontinued without notice
to the agent at Ypsilanti, and the pas
senger was compelled to remain over
night at Kalamazoo before proceeding
to her destination.
She brought suit to collect the stat
utory penalty of 500 and a verdict
was directed in her favor. This YER
dict was affirmed by the supreme court
in an opinion by Justice Grant, Jus
tees Hooker and Carpenter dissenting

Fred M. Warner is a man so upright
in character and so clean of record that
all who have known him we'll, whether
of his party and faith or not, love him
and trust him, while his meanest and
most merciless enemy can find nothing in
his conduct to impeach his worthiness.
From his boyhood until now he has
been trusted and respected so far as he
was known, and only malice has ever
assailed him. He has been honest, in
telligent and progressive in all relations
and all positions, and faithful always to
whatever trust was committed to him.
He will go into the governors Office
with clean hands and free hands-not
tied up by the pledges or obligations to
any man or faction or interest-and
will administer the Office according to
his own best judgment and his own
sincere Purpose. He will not be specta-

lrlshmen Flock to Roosevelt.

Without any apparent attempt on the
part of the campaign committees it is
found that Irishmen are focking to
Roosevelt and Fairbanks all over the
country. Irishmen who know their
countrys history we'll are protection
is is and consequently republicans.
Perhaps the letters of John Mitchell,
whom every workingman holds in great
respect, to the New York American has
done more than anything else to drive
workingmen and Irishmen in particular
from the party of free trade. Says Mr..
Mitchell in recent letter:
ireland has suffered, and is still suf-
fering, from the evils of the past hun
dred and fifty years. During the eigh-
teenth century the English government
adopted toward Ireland somewhat the
same policy that it sought to adopt to-
ward the American colonies. The in
dustrial development Of the island was
crushed out by the commercial policy
of England, and the industries of the
country died under the influence of the
competition of its stronger rival.
"The Irish. driven out of industry,
were forced into agriculture; and even
here they lost ground, especially after
the adoption of free trade, which re-
moved the duties from foreign grain.
In the competition with the great grain
producing countries of America, Russia
and India, Ireland was left far behind
And the failure of the potato crop sixty
years ago crushed the last element Of
hopefulness out of the people. The peas
ants were ground down between the
upper milestone of falling prices for
their produce and the neither milestone
OF rising or at least, stationary rents
for their lands, and as each year passed
the condition of the population grew
steadily worse.
1.-THE result was that the Irish were
out of Ireland. Hundreds of
thousands died during the famine of
1916, when the food, for the want of
which the people were starving, was
shipped out of the island. Those who
could, sought refuge in America, and
during the last sixty years a steady
stream of emigration has poured out Of
The country. At every census the popu-
alton has decreased. In 1871 there
were almost eight and a quarter mil
ions of inhabitants in the land. At the
present time there are less than four
Ind a half millions
This is a terrible indictment against |
1ngland's policy toward Ireland, while
he republican policy Of protection has
IN effect just the reverse both at home
md abroad. This is why, without any
particular campaign work, the Irish
'otes will gotto Roosevelt and Fair

Luther, Mich, Sept 14.-Fire which
broke out in the Nickel house. the
leading hotel of Luther, at midnight
came near destroying the business Sec
ton of the village. Despite the efforts
of the local fire department, the flames

ephone exchange, a barber shop, three
saloons, two livery stables, a large
warehouse and the fire engine house.
The fire was not, gotten under control
until late in the forenoon. The loss

Pontiac, Mich, Sept 13.--The state
fair, which opened Monday, is proving
to be the greatest ever held in the
state. Open pens ware hurriedly con
structed yesterday to'slKe care of the
overflow ofcattle, pigs tnd sheep, and
the management is simply ppnplussed
a. the interest that is beingtaken by
exhibitors. The horse, cattle, Aeep,
swine and poultry displays are xag,'
best ever seeh.
The poultry display is already clear
Out of bounds, there being $500 exhib,
its, with accommodation for Tdt LOCO.
There are magnificent displays Of
shorthorns, Holsteins, Polled Angus
and other valuable breeds, showing a
steady Improvement in all depart
ments.
The horses, too, make an excellent
showing, and the entries far exceed
those of last year. The hogs and
sheep are also credit to the fair.
Like all first days, THE grounds were
not crowded, slough goodly :;.n Der
passed through the gates. Tie fekirs
were on hand as usual with their
shooting contrivances, their canes and
other devices for separating the farm
ers, as we'll as the city people, from
their nickels.
The exhibits this yeal will exceed
those of last year. both in quantity and
quality. In fact the fair ofici:.. have
not space enough for all the yhibits.
Temporary pens had to be put up for
the sheep, hogs and cattle, and addi-
tional. tents were provided to house
them ia. Some of the sheep, as we'll
as the poultry, were exposed to the
open air.

Some of the advantages of living un-
der the Michigan laws as made by the
republican party can be noticed by
comparison of the passenger rates upon
the Grand Trunk Western Railway in
Michigan, and upon continuation of the
same line in the state of Indiana. The
rate from Granger to South Bend, a
distance of IL miles, is 81 cents, while
from Cassopolis to Marcellus in this
state, a distance of IA miles, the legal
rate is 20 cents, From South Bend to
Valparaiso in Indiana, the fare is 81 "a,
the distance being A miles, while from
Cassopolis to Climax in this state,
distance of 43 miles, the rate is So cents.

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work..
