Popular OPINION.

There has been remarkable
change in popular opinion in this
section Of the state in the last few
years. Some time ago a grand
jury reported to the District Court,
in substance, that il bad wasted
neither time nor effort IN exalnin-
ing violations Of the Sunday
Law That that law was so op
posed TO the will Of the people
that II was generally disregarded.
That it would be a waste Of the
public's money and the time of the
Court TO attempt to enforce it
To-day grand jnrles see their duty
differently. They not only find 1t
pOssible TO convict, but the offend
er finds It wiser to plead gullty-li
such he is.
In the past the law against car
rying concealed weapons was i'm
potent. Weapons were but hall
concealed, and the practice OF car
rying them in some form was quite
common. The tide changed in
time A District Attorney, upon
being challenged to attempt to en-
force this law, locked the exit
door of the Office, in the court
house, IN which a large number Of
officials and others were assem-
bled, drew his own weapon, hand
ed it to the Clerk and instructed
him to record the usual fine. lie
then demanded the others to ''prO
duce," or the services of the Sher-
if would be invoked. Quite a
number Of fines were recorded and
paid. This was not a mere joke.
1t was serious earnestness. 1t
was possibly the beginning Of a
healthy regard and respect for the
law in this section Today the
fine is one that makes the would
be yiOlatOr hesitate. The better
classes have long since recognized
the wisdom of the law and are de
manding that 1t be enforced a
gainst the hOodlums
In years gone by the restric-
tiOns upon the traffic in spirituous
liquors were weak, to say the least.
Any one could engage in the trade
who could raise couple of hun
dred dollars. /. il reported that
in certain rural districts liquor
dealers have temporarily moved
with their licenses and part of
their wares to the scenes of public
balls and aMusemcnts, anu there
carry on their business. These
things are probably of the past
High license has come to both this
city and parish, and in all rroha
bili;y has come to stay. with its
regulating influences. Mistakes
now might be very expensive
From these facts one may infer
that "Public Opinion" has unde'-
gone and is undergoing wonderful
changes. The people themselves
are demanding a closer observance
Of the law. He, who mistakes the
will Of the people in this direction,
is taking a step that will certain.

The startling revelations of the
Wyoming land frauds threaten to in
vOlve at least two United States Sen.
ators. prominent officials of the gener
al land Office and other well known
men. Millions Of dollars are at stake
and the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has secured during its hearing
of the cases testimony enough to sup.
ply many great law suits, but the
most absorbing feature of the situa-
ton to those whose interests are not
directly involved is with regard to
Senators Clark and Warren who are
said to be implicated in the coal land
graft which has resulted in the Presi
dent recommending that the coal lands
be permanently withdrawn from set
Element. Senators Clark and War
rem. particularly the latter have been
held in high regard in asbington
and the announcement that they were
involved in the land scandal has been
unwillingly accepted by many of
their fellow Senators and friends out
side. When the rumor first became
public a prominent Senator threw up
his hands and exclaimed, "Grcat Hea-
veus. what is the Senate coming to
anyway. Pretty soon 1t will be look
ed upon as disgrace to be in the
Senate and people will avoid speak
ing to Senator on the street for fear
Of the deduction that birds of feath
err flock together" More optimistic
people though do not take the dis E.
pairing view OF the prominent Sena-
tor They declare that the Senate is
no worse than it always was and that
in fact it is really better. but that it is
harder for dishonest man to escape
or hide these days.

John Mutchler, who was nomi-
mated as a candidate for register
of deeds on the republican ticket
at South Haven recently, is a
Simon-pure Van Buren, county
product, and for nearly twenty
years has given his political sup
port to the party that honored
him with the nomination to which
he was so Justly entitled. For
twelve years he has been a mem
Der of the county com mittee and
for the past four years has been
chairman of that body. He held
the responsible position of post
master in Bangor for eight years,
supervisor of the township four
years, held position on the
council Of that village, and in all
of these years of work as pub
lie servant he won nothing but
praise from the people regard
less of politics. His many
friends and admirers say that
disgruntled Office seekers and
political epileptics must keep
off the grass" this fall as that

been renominated, Mr.. Ferris
would, no doubt, have been, as
now, the democratic choice. And
there is nothing to Offset the
great expense-not less than
$50, 600, probably nearer $780,
000-that has been saddled upon
the people of this state to satisfy
the clamor raised by the metro
politan press. whose Golfers are
swelled by many thousands of
dollars by reason of the new sys.
tenn and whose influence in state
politics is very largely increased
thereby But'this much-vaunted-
sure cure t o "a ! political-ills
system, We are told. is for the
purpose of getting the voice of
the people in political matters.
Well, in our own county this was
'still small voice. Less than
10 per cent spoke, even in a
whisper. A large percentage
of the republicans in the Hart
ford convention were delegates
by the votes of less than a dozen
of their fellow citizens, and in
the democratic convention of the
following day $50 delegates were
chosen by eight votes or less.
To be exact, 80 of them were
elected by one vote apiece,
which, quite possibly in some in
stances might have been their
own; 16 delegates represented a
constituency of two; q had three
votes back of them, Is were vot-
ed for by four electors; 10 repre-
sented FIVE of their fellow citi-
zens; 20 were chosen by six votes
each; II by seven votes apiece,
and nine delegates actually rep.
resented eight constituents each.
Great is primary reform, the
city newspapers are its sponsors
and beneficiaries while the dear
people," for whose welfare they
are so solicitous, foot the enor-
nous and needless expense and
reap absolutely no benefit there
from. Van Buren, republicans
in convention assembled did well
to refuse by practically a unani-
nous vote, to endorse the system,
and it was not the so.called ma
chine politicians that tabled the
resolutions of endorsement, but
delegates chosen under and by
virtue of this new political pan
acea.

Fred NJ Warner will enjoy in
history the peculiar privilege of
having been the first governor of
Michigan selected by direct vote
in which open opportunity was
given all the members of his par
ty to participate. And this dis
tinction will be shared by Pat
rick H. Kelly, the republican
candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor. Their election in Novem-
Der, too, will be practically as
unanimous as was their nomina
ton at the primary elections in
June

IT Is, to say the least, very
doubtful if the intelligent cleo
tors which constitute the great
mass of the voters of Van Buren,
county will feel like expressing
a very great degree of satisfac-
ton over the results of the first
trial of the primary reform law,
so. called. There were but 765
votes, less than 10 per cent of a
normal vote, polled in the entire
comfy, yet the cost to the peo-
pie was greater than the expense
of general election. A close
estimate of the expense shows
that those 7S5 votes must have
cost nearly or quite 81 each and
they were worth absolutely moth
ing, as the result attained is in
no wise different from that which
would have been reached with
out the intervention of this much.

township except Almena being
represented by full delegations.
The cordial manner in which the
newly nominated county officers
were greeted gives assurance
that a full vote vii be given them
next November The candidates
who were defeated at South
Haven were present at this meet
ing, congratulating their success
ful competitors, and assured them
their hearty support. At 10
o'clock, County Chairman Simp-
son called the convention TO or
der and without further prelim-
mary, invited Elk Senator Geo.
w. Merriman of Hartford to the
chair who, in a happy way, con-
graduated the convention upon
their ability TO get there via the
primary reform route. The
speaker took occasion to compi-
ment Governor Warner and the
state administration upon the
business like administration given
the state, and prophesied that
they would be reelected by a
large majority, This sentiment
brought round Of applause from
the convention, showing that a
sympathetic chord had been
struck. The temporary organi-
zation was completed by the Sc
lection of E. V. Root of Bangor
as temporary secretary. The
business Of the convention began
by G.. j. Wicksall of South Ha-
ven making a motion that three
committees of five members each
be appointed by the chair. The
motion prevailed and the chair
appointed on credentials the fol-
lowing delegates

In appointing the committee
on resolutions Chairman Merri-
man recognized the power of the
press in shaping public senti-
ment, as the committee men were
all newspaper men-actively en-
gagged in the work at present or
had been.
A recess of ten minutes was
taken at this time in order that
the committees might prepare
their reports. Upon reconven-
ing, the committee on creden-
tails reported every township ex-
cept Almena represented by full
delegations.
Chairman Wicksall in his re-
port on permanent organization
and order of bus mess recon-
mended that the temporary or
ganization be made permanent,
that the roll of townships be
called for delegates TO the state
convention by commencing at
the numerically largest township
and that South Haven City
should be counted as one of the
units. The report was adopted
without discussion and the fol-
lowing delegates were unani-
