J0thngs.

There will be meeting of the tenn
perance workers of Van Buren, county in
the Baptist church at Hartford, Tuesday,
February 20, al 10 a. IN. The object will
be to elect officers for the anti-saloon
league of Van Buren, county. All per-
sons who are in favor of law enforcement
and are opposed to the saloon are invited
to be present.
One of the stock arguments Of those
in favor of high license is the assertion
that mo more liquor would be drank
with high license laws in operation than
there is at present, and that there would
be fewer drug stores with the open sa-
loon than with local option laws" We
wish to call our readers attention to the
fact that Fennville, Allegan county, with
1856 population has three drug stores and
four saloons, while Lawrence, Van Blu
rem county. with 500 population, has one
drug store and no saloon. Marcellus, in
Cass county, with 9S3 population, has
three drug stores and four saloons, while
Lawton in Van Buren, county, with 994
population, has two drug stores and no
saloon. Is there any force in that argu-
ment?

Regarding Recent Comments Anent the
Attorney Generals Department.

In a recent editorial the position OF
the attorney generals department in de-
laying action upon the Galbraith bill un-
til the tax commission had fixed the
rate of corporation taxes was criticised
by us, believing that the department
was at fault in not taking action be-
fore the state had gone to the expense
OF gathering data for such purposes,
The following letter from Deputy Attor-
ney General Chase places an entirely
different phase upon their action:
"My attention has been challenged to
an editorial in The True Northerner of
date January 20, 1906 The conclusion
of the editorial is as follows: at looks
to The True Northerner as though the
attorney general was playing peanut
politics."
Feeling that when you wrote that ed
itorial you were not informed as to the
facts, take the liberty to advise you.
1t was impossible for the attorney gen.
eral or anyone else to bring an action to
test the Galbraith law, so called, until
after the state board of assessors had
acted, viz January ID. The state board
of assessors furnished the attorney gen.
eral the proper data for the petition that
was filed in the supreme court. Within
"A hours after that was filed in the SUI
preme court of the state, and within one
hour after the filing of the petition, the
supreme court issued an order to show
cause. The date for hearing before the
supreme court was the earliest possible
date February 9. This date was sug-
gested by Hon. Horace NJ. Oren, attor-
ney for the state board of assessors.
Further than that, the attorney general
did everything in his power to stop the
passage of the Galbraith bill and it's APP
broval by the governor, and the records
Will disclose that to be fact. Politics
did not enter into the action of the at
torney general in any regard. He sim
ply has been doing his duty as attorney
for the state, and his work has been in
the interest, and for the protection of
the people of the state. My under
standing of it is that the attorney gen
eral intends to vigorously pursue the
policy that he has commenced. of being
true and loyal to his client, the state of
Michigan. If this be wrong. we are in
error; but, as we believe we are right, it
will be fought out out on these lines.

White Ants as a peIlcacY.

The natives of nearly all parts OF
Africa are exceedingly fond Of white
ants as a dish. On one occasion, while
camping on the banks of the Zouga,
Livingstone was visited by chief, and
as he was at dinner at the time he
gave him a piece of bread and some
preserved apricots. The chief seemed
to relish it very much, and Livingstone
asked him If he had anything equal to
that in his country. "Ah," said he,
did you ever taste white ants?" Liv-
ingstone assured him that he had never
tried that delcacy. We'll, if you
had" replied the chief, licking his
mouth with pleasant memories, you
never could wish anything better"

A Natural Conclusion.

A little New York girl, whose brief
experience of life was confined to ex-
istence in an apartment house, was
visiting in Philadelphia not long ago.
One afternoon, to amuse the child,
her cousin showed her a number OF
photographs and views, meanwhile ex-
planning ard answering questions con-
corning them. One of them was a
picture of Windsor Castle, which, she
was told, was the residence of the
late Queen Victoria. After looking at
it moment she innocently inquired:

Art Work of Walter Paris.

The recent unexpected death OF wal

artist. calls for an appropriate esti-
mate Of the work of Paris as artist
in this city. where he had resided at
intervals for more than thirty years. 1t
is probable that OF all the artists who
have made this city their home. none
have had a wider experience In art mat
ters, and perhaps none have been so
little known in that intimate relation
which sometimes exists between artist
friends and competitors.

In his landscape work he was seeker

As an exhibitor his work has found
place in the leading exhibitions OF this
country and In England. In his home
country he had exhibited in several
large exhibitions OF London, and he Is
now represented in the permanent col

Chicago he had exhibited In the Chi

His work in the present exhibition OF

Onstrates that IN his latest years he
has given to art something worth the
