The recitation, "The Old Maid s

The recitation, "The Old Maid s
Prayer" by Mrs. Van Lieu was given a
hearty encore; she responded by recit-
ing, "Shaky's Piece" The law regard
ing telephones was then read by the Sec
rotary. AS no one cared to make any
remarks concerning the telephones, the
Associational Topic was taken up by f.
Owen, ITO what extent can the princi-
pies of plant breeding and seed selec-
ton be applied to farm crops?" Anum-
Der Of the members talked on the topic,
and all seemed to be of the opinion that
although the farmer should be careful
in the selection of seed, it would not be
profitable for him to try experiments
with crops, as there are experiment
stations for that purpose.
We next, listened to instrumental
music by G. face Owen, after which the
Synopsis Of the Primary Law was read
by Mabel Rogers. This was not ex-
plainee as none of the members could
understand it.
The question box containing thirteen
good questions, was conducted by w.
Bingham. This brought out many in
teresting subjects for discussion.
The motion was made and supported
that we postpone the election of officers
until next meeting.
The names of Elmer Yerrick and
family and Mrs. Taphouse and family
were presented for membership. They
were voted upon and made members of
our club.
The resignation of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.

The program committees then read
their report.
AS it was getting late, the closing
song was omitted, and we adjourned to

The negative ICES cast by the three

Their opposition to the bill arises from
the fact that they want complete Free

Clark will be found voting in the affirm.

That would seem to be good reason

The Primary Law.

Ex-senator John Robson, of Lansing,
who has been known as one of the most
ardent primary reform men in the state,
endorses the position of Gov. Warner
and urges fair trial of the new law.
Read what he says in letter to the
Detroit Journal;
A few days ago l noticed an article in
The Journal, headed, Horton Tried to
Gag Him." purporting to come from
Pontiac under date of Dec, 90, which
said that Grand Master Horton for
certain reasons did not want Gov.
Warner to address the State Grange in
defense of his position on primary re-
form. dput that the governor insisted on
hayingan opportunity to talk after hav-
ing been invited there, and particularly
after statements had been published to
the effect that he would not dare go be-
fore the State Grange and defend his
position on primary reform" In view
of the fact that during the gubernatori-
al campaign of 1904, when Mr.. Warner
was candidate for election as goY-
ernor, the most vigorous fight madesfor
years, was put up by the democrats,
with primary reform as their campaign
slogan; that thousands of the governors
own party friends opposed his views on
this question, and that possible defeat
stared him in the face; yet, notwith-
standing all this, he had the courage of
his convictions and rarely made aspeech
during the campaign in which he did
not clearly define his position on pri-
mary reform and his reasons therefor.
Remembering these facts, how any
member of the Grange or any citizen of
Michigan could haye become possessed
with the idea that Gov. Warner would
show the white feather to the State
Grange is more than 1 can see.
AS primary reform republican, 1
never was in accord with Gov. War
ner's view on this question; yet voted
for him, and l honor the governor for
standing by his convictions and his ante
election pledges. He promised to sign
any law the legislature might pass, and
the result is the" present primary cleo
tion law, imperfect as it may be and
undoubtedly is. Complex it certainly
is, and falls far short Of what the advo-
Gates of primary reform desired, yet l
am in accord with the governor and be-
lieve the law should be given an honest,
fair and thorough trial. If it is deserv-
ing it will stand on its own merits; if
defective, thorough test will develop
its weak points and proper remedy be
made by the next Legislature.
The time is now close at hand when
the machinery of the law must be put
in motion, and if it is to be given fair
and impartial trial, it is Of the utmost
Importance that the people should be
thoroughly informed relative to the
provisions of the law to be complied
with.
/ believe that the prominent news
papers of the state can render no more
important service to the people of the
state, than the publication of the full
text Of the primary election law.
Publish the law, Mr.. Journal; it's of
more Importance than boss races, foot
ball or society news

one Of the important subjects discuss
ed was diversified farming, the great.
est crop is not the question but which
crop will bring the greatest profit
