After all there is good deal in
talk. Let man talk dull times aud
it is infectious, everybody talks dull
times. Instead of rustling around to
take care of what business there is.
they all 60 sit down aud NOPE over
dull times. If customer does happen
to drob into one of these "dull times"
stores he actually gets frightened out
of one-half as much as he expects to
buy, because things look SO blue.
He catches the spirit of the store and
resolves to hang on to all his money
with death grip, even if his business
goes to pieces on account OF running
short of goods to fill up the empty
shelves. The bug-bear of hard times
should be sat down upon. 1t is doing
more to kill business than anything
else Tell man he is sick, keep it
up, and you will eventually hound
him to death.

Consider what the hen does when

season is on and she clamorS for ra-
lions. The market value Of ''Biddy"
is about 80 cents and the value of her

fifth part of her own worth. True,
her career is short, but long enough
for her TO earn her value many times

At the reception of the ederated
clubs last evening held at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs Chas. Kellogg, the
question of the proper protection of
children was thoroughly discussed,
Immediately following the address of
Mrs. Buell., of Madison. The opinions
were many and excellent.
In view of the prominence lent to
this subject by the ladies the Re-
PORTER feels that the question of a
Humane society in Grand Rapids
ought to be given very careful con-
sideration. A movement, started as
a result of articles in this paper
written by the observer" is now on
foot, and petition for the establish
ment,- or rather the calling ola mass
meeting looking to the discussion and
| possible establishment of such an or
ganization,--is now being circulated
and literally signed by those people
who have given the matter due con-
sideration.
To establish such a society. it is
necessary to have the financial and
moral backing of large number of
people. This financial backing means
the finances which result from the
membership dues, which will probab-
ly not exceed two or three dollars per
year. The moral backing means the
heart and hand work as time shall
demonstra the need of it.
We feel that the movement is in
the right direction, as it had been
demonstrated in every city of any i'm
portance that only through the organ
lied efforts of the humane people, can
the cruelty to animals or children be
properly punished and prevented.
| The Wisconsin Humane society is
the organization through which this
work is being done all over the Bad
ger state, and Grand Rapids could do
no better than to fall in line and pre-
vent the re-currance of the many incl
dentsof cruelty to animals which have
been noticed of late.

The call for the Republican Nat
ional convention TO meet in Chicago
on June 18th 1908, for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for president,
has been issued and published by the
National committee.
After stating the regular method
of electing delegates by the conven-
ton system, the following paragraph
is annexed:
and provided that delegates both from the
state at large and their alternates may be
elected in conformity with the laws of the
state in which the election occurs, provided
the state committee or any such congress
ional committee so direct; but provided fur
Their, that in no state shall an election be so
held as to prevent the delegates from any
being selected by the Republican electors of
that district.
This is the concession asked by the
Wisconsin delegation in order that
the election in this state might be in
accordance with the primary laws
upon the statute books 1t will be
noted from this paragraph that the
consent of the state and congressional
committees must be obtained before
the will of the people as expressed at
the primaries can be recognized.

the result, should the committees
