dererS that have ever visited our county. Now. Mr. Hayner. th1s Is pretty tough, but We will pay 1t and say nothing. You have many friends here among our best people.
 :. l have also examined the divorce record and find that more homes are destroyed by the sale and Use of liquor than from any other cause.
 0. A majority oi the men in our penitentiary are located there because of Hayner whiskey and other famous brands otliquor.
 - have discovered that whis- key has corrupting influence in politics; thatit is#as dangerous to the business of community as it k To the individual.
 If Ii were not for whiskey there would not De one-half tie prostitution in the country that there is. II leads 10 all that i> wrong and is against ali that k right.
 q. A large number af railroad and other accidents that have re- suited in the loss of thousands of lives can be traced to the sale and use of liquor.
 1o. Itis time 10 stop. for the further reason that the women of this country have taken to its use. This Is an unexpected danger. but 1t is very serious.
 II. There is no reason on earth why man should use your whiskey. It is detrimental to and destructive of the most sac red interest s on earth. Whiskey brings more men and women to q premature death than anything else.
 F. Now have a personal reason why quit using your liquor. I know the boys in the office will have fit when l tell about it, but the truth is I took the Keeley. That's right. l went mp against the real thing, spent four weeks at Dwight and never missed a shot. But say. it almost broke my heart to go. You know l could take a drink or let 1t alone. could drink all night and work all day, i'll fact 1t was my boast, that l never missed a date on account of drink. But the constant use of the best brand finally fioored me. As you well know, l have held many important positions of re- sponsibiity and trust, in fact, people have said l was smart, but after using the best brands that money could buy, for several years, have concluded that the man who deliberately puts an "enemy i'll his mouth to steal his brain, is foolish.
 Now Mr. Hayner, 'on the dead this keely Cure Is alright. It will do the business everytime. No man who ever took the cure can truthfully say he had any desire for liquor thereafter.

Railroads Must Pay.

-Four of the railroad companies have
paid their arrears or taxes amounting
to more than TWO millions OF dollars,
with tie taxes of the present syear
which were paid at the same time.
They did not include, however, the
interest due upon the relinquent
taxes, and Auditor General Bradley
declines to receipt for the partial. He
nolds the money for the present. to be
credited up and receipted for when
the payments are made complete, as
they probably will be on further con-
slderation; or, otherwise, the tender
will be declined and proceedings be-
gun for collection Of the full amounts
which the law requires the auditor TO
collect. The companies making these
tenders are the Chicago & Northwest
ern, six hundred and forty-two thou.
sand, Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul,
one hundred aud fifteen thousand
seven hundred and tifty-seven; Duluth
SoathShOre & Atlantic, three hun
dred seyenty-six thousand three hun
dred and eighty-six, and the Lake
Shore, one million dollars, lacking
little over forty thousand. About one
third of the amount is the tax Of 1905
which would become delinquent the
first Of May. The balance is already
drawing interest at the rate of one
per cent month. and these partial
tenders will not operate to stop the
interest unless they are made COM
plete.
The rank Of the railroad Of Michigan
compared as TO mileage is not the same
as in respect TO assessed valuations
The mileage Of the principal lines
shows like this:
Pere Marquette system, miles, 2072.
Michigan Central system, 1920.
Grand Trunk system, 1853.
Lake Shore system, 720.
Chicago & Northwestern, 55S.
Dulsth. South Shore & Atlantic, $40
Grand Rapids & Indiana, 487,
Chicago, Milwaukee g. St. Paul, 33S.
Ann Arbor. 292.
Detroit Mackinaw. 269.
About thirty smaller lines, 1910.
So there are in the state more than
ten Thousand miles OF railroad lines,
to which we>may add over a thousand
miles of electric intururban lines
The Wabash has only eighty miles in
the state, but irs valuation equals that
of the Detroit & Mackinaw with about
three and third times its mileage
four million four hundred thousand
dollars.
