to prevent the corrupt use Of money in
securing nominations, but he does not
favor doing away with all party conven-
tions. One OF the arguments OF the
democratic and independent press in ia
vor of a primary election law is that it
will do away with professionalism
party organizations. Experience has
proven the world over that political
par les are necessary and desirable for
good government. They keep alive a
healthy interest in public affairs 1t is
easy to see why party in the minority
has nothing to lose but everything to
gain by change in law that would
weaken the organization of its oppon-
ents; but if it benefited such a party it
must as surely injure the other party.
The Republican is heartily in favor of a
primary law that provides for the nomi-
nation of governor acknowledgement,
members of the legislature, judges, con-
gressmen and city officers, but we be-
lieve the county and state convention is
good thing for the party and the body
polite. 1t is good for men to get to-
gether and compare notes in affairs of
state as well as in business and religion,
The demand for a primary law arose
from the lavish use of money in irving
to secure the nomination for governor,
and in this Mr.. Stearns was one of the
chief offenders, but probably not much
different than others would have been in
the same place with the money to spend.
He is now an EXTREMIST for primary
reform, while Mr.. Warner is an advo-
cate of conservative measure. There
isn't republican state in the union that
goes as far as the Stearns platform, and
it is hardly worth while for Michigan to
copy election laws from Mississippi
where half the population is disfranchis-
ed in violation of the constitution of the
United States. Clinton County Repub-
lican.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott Emulsionis themod-
ern method Of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.

What splendid type OF tlreless activ-
ity is the sun as the psalmist describes
it issuing like "a bridegroom from his
chamber and rejoicing like strong
man to run race. Every man ought
to rise in the morning refreshed by
slumber and renewed by rest, eager for
the struggle of the day. But how rare
ly this is so. Most people rise still un-
refreshed, and dreading the strain of
the days labors. The cause of this is
deficient vitality and behind this lies a
deficient supply of pure, rich blood, and
an inadequate nourishment of the body.
There is nothing that will give man
strength and energy as will DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
does this by increasing the quantity
and quality of the blood supply. This
nourishes the nerves, feeds the brain,
builds up enfeebled organs, and gives
that sense of strength and power which
makes the struggle of life joy. The
good feeling" which follows the use of
Golden Medical Discovery" is not due
to stimulation as it contains no alcohol,
whisky or other intoxicant. 1t does not
brace up the body, but builds it up into
a condition of sound health.

The Political Situation in Brief.

The gubernatorial fight in this state
seems to have resolved itself into a
choice between two men as far as the
republican party is concerned-Fred
M. Warner, the present very efficient
secretary of state, and Justus S.
Stearns.
These two gentlemen are before the
public with their views on the primary
election scheme.
Stearns would have all nominations
whether for local officers or for state
officers, made by direct vote of the
people. Warner would retain conven-
tions and would provide that each
county might select its own style of
making nominations, which in the
opinion of The Courier is correct
The destruction of county and state
conventions would practically obliter-
ate party lines.
The Courier is most emphatically
opposed to the primary election scheme
as outlined by Stearns and others who
want to do away with conventions. 1t
will cheerfully support a measure to
supplant caucuses with primary cleo
tions to elect delegates to conventions,
but beyond that The Courier is decid-
eddy opposed and it voices the senti-
ments of the people of Branch county
on the proposition. Coldwater Courier.
Your Share of the Public Debt.
drand Rapids Herald.
Your father can remember when a 7
per cent government bond served as a
sort of interesting standard. Of course,
it was gilt-edged security, but 7 per
cent for money was considered about
the proper figure. That was not very
long ago. 1t was in day when the
public debt of the nation, measured by
the resources of the people, was heavy
burden
Now we have two per cent bonds In
fact, more than half of our bonds are
per cent securities In the face of a
thousand alluring Investments, includ-
ing farm mortgages and municipal
bonds, the government can have all the
money 1T wants at 2 per cent.
Your share of the interest on the pub
lie debt is "a cents annually. Your
share of the interest bearing debt is 81.
We piled up millions of liabilities dur
ing the Spanish war, and vet the total
public debt is less than the capital of
the Steel corporation: less than the total
amount of life insurance credited to at
least two concerns. The interest bear
ing debt on December 81, 1908, was
1901, TAI, 800. In Great Britain the debt
is $75 per capita, and in Holland it is
800 France has national debt SC
great that each inhabitant owes $3.50.
The ray of sunlight there is the fact
, that France has borrowed from the peo-
pie and there is no danger of foreign
creditors foreclosing a mortgage on that
country. Argentina owes 1928 per eapi-
ia and Australasia 1868. In this coun.
try it is S11.
We talk much of our natural re-
sources, our loyal people and our new
navy. Don't forget that one of our
greatest items of strength in foreign
lands is our financial standing. The
nation with unlimited credit, with big
treasure chest is in position to com
mand and direct and influence. Finan-
cially the United States has no COMPETE

was stated that two members of the
board would be elected for term of

board is elected at the same time and
