You could not have put a more

replied There is a great difference
of opinion on that subject among
men who have TO deal with both ami

The Great Fair of the State.

Year by year the state fair of Michi-
gan has grown in size and Importance,
and more and more is it looked forward
to and its coming eagerly awaited by
thousands. At Pontiac, September ~
16, the fair for 1904 will surpass all pre-
vious efforts if the hopes and expecta-
tions of those in charge are realized.
The handsome premium-list which is
now being sent out, is brim full of in
teresting information New features
have been added, and each day will be
continual round of enjoyment for
young and old alike.
The grounds will be in ideal condition
this fall; the work of improvement done
last year was of permanent nature,
and this, supplemented by additions
this fall will make the grounds more
satisfactory than ever before. Secretary
Butte rfeld predicts that this will be one
of the most instructive fairs ever held.
A Grange Headquarters tent will be a
feature
The mammoth grand stand. with a
normal seating capacity of 1000, has
been enlarged this year to accommodate
the crowds No better testimonial
of the popularity of the fair needs to be
cited than that this stand was last year
found to be far too small. One thous

A couple of Detroit newspapers
which are unfriendly to the candidacy
of H IA. Fred NJ. Warner for governor,
and " Mich persistently and religiously
find fault with everything he says and
does. have now resorted to the old time
political tactics of garbling his utter
ances in order that they may continue
their program of villi6cation. Their
latest performance of this nature has to
do with remark by Mr.. Warner in an
address to the farmers at Whitmore
Lake last week. The following is ex-
actly what Mr.. Warner said ON that
occasion:
"Such pleasant gathering as we
have here today does us all good. 1t
gives us all more friends and l consider
one of the best things in the world to-
day is true friendship, and he who
makes most of this makes most of life,
and he who guides his official and bust
ness acts by what his best true personal
friends think of them cannot go far
wrong"
The average fair-minded citizen of
Michigan will find nothing wrong with
that utterance. Since the beginning OF
time it has been the aim of all good
men to so shape their conduct that it
will have the approval of their neigh
bors who are their "best true personal
friends" feeling that if they could
merit the approval of those who know
them best and are thus capable of judg-
ing the sincerity of their motives and
their honesty of purpose, they need
have little fear that they will fail to
command the approval of their fellow
citizens generally.
This has been true in all times and in
all countries, and it will continue to be
the rule by which honest, upright men
will measure their conduct, and by
which the general public will deter
mine the character of men in public
life. No man can have better endorse
ment of his acts than that furnished by
those who have lived close to him and
have observed his conduct under all
circumstances his best true personal
friends.
If Mr.. Warner makes no more OBJ
jectionable or unfortunate remark than
the one above quoted during the pend
ing campaign, he need have no fear
that even the garbled reports of vicious
ly unfriendly newspapers will injure
his standing with the people. Lansing

In his Detroit speech Prof Ferris
stated that he did net think Michigan
should have such primary election laws
as they have in the southern states. 1t
is doubtless we'll known to Prof. Ferris
that in no other section of the union at
the present time are primary election
laws in operation such as he is supposed
to stand for. Several states are discus
sing the matter Of adopting such laws
and in two or three northwestern states
some progress in that direction has been
made. But no northern state has APP
proved of or adopted the sweeping and
radical changes now proposed for Mich
igan under the title of primary reform. y
If Prof. Ferris had given his candid
opinion as to the best methods of NOV
ing in the direction of the primary
election changes proposed for Michigan,
as teacher and as business man
rather than as a democratic candidate
for governor, he would probably have
advised just such experimental action
as has been taken in other northern
states and is proposed and will be adopt
ed by the incoming republican legisla-
ture.-Cadillac News and Express.

Not to be Wondered at.

Capt. A. e. Stewart, the wellknown
Detroit vessel man, who was one of the
staunchest supporters of the late Gov.
Pingree from the day of his entrance
into politics until his untimely death,
makes this direct observation upon one
of the phases of the state campaign:
Il notice that some of the opponents
of Fred NJ. Warner have got so much
into the habit of accusing him of being
tied up TO the railroads that they seem
to believe it. Now, 1 was in the legis-
1ature when Warner was a senator, and
I never saw any indication there that
he was controlled by anybody but him
self. He voted for the bills that in
creased the taxes of the railroads, and,
also, for the bill GREETING the state tax
commission. That doesn't look as if
the railroads own him, does it? Why
don't some of these people produce
evidence that Warner has made
promises? l don't believe that anybody
can show that Warner made a promise
OF any kind to get the nomination or
for vote in the coming election AS
governor, he would be guided by his
usual good sense and decency, that's ALL :"
While these remarks of Capt. Stew
art do credit to his sense of fair play.
he must know that there has been q
studied attempt from the start of the
Warner campaign to misrepresent Mr.
Warner and to try to attach to him
whatever odious charges the guerilla
press of Detroit could invent. 1t has
persistently misrepresented him on the
primary reform matter, his indepen-
dence of character has been assailed, his
public career attacked, and his pro-
nounced ability and clean life impugn-
ed. No one, least of all Capt. Stewart,
who has had some experience with the
tactics of this sort of political warfare,
should wonder at anything that it pro-
duces Saginaw Courier Herald.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfe
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.
