Bonus Case Finally Settled.

After being in the courts several years
the bonus case of Sutton & Mckay, of
Albion, vs., A. L. Beard, B. F. Ram and
William Case, trustees of the village of
Morrice, has been disposed of by the
supreme court. The firm received ST.
900 bonus from the village and 81, 900
private subscriptions from the citizens
of the village in consideration of build
ing and operating -four mill and cleo
trio lighting plant. The property was
afterward destroyed by fire and was
not rebuilt. The village sued for the
So, 600 bonus and was given judgment
The firm then sued the trustees person
ally to recover the amount, were de-
feated in the circuit court and appealed
to the supreme with like result. The
court held that bonus giving by the vii
lage was illegal.

The Annual School Meeting.

At the close of nearly every annual
school election for several years the
charge has been made that persons who
were not legally qualified had voted.
The law applying to the qualifications
of electors at other elections does not
apply in the case of school election.
Every taxpayer who has property as
sessed for school taxes, whether male or
female, of the age of 81 years who has
resided for three months in the district,
can vote on all questions at the annual
meeting; other citizens, male and fe-
male, who are the parents or guardians
of children included in the school CEN
sus, and who have resided in the dis
trict three months, can vote on all ques-
tions which do not involve the raising
of money by tax.
Briefly, persons who do not pay school
taxes or those who are not the parents
or guardians of children included in the
school census cannot vote either at the
election of trustees or on any question
arising in the meeting.
The officers in charge should see that
the law is strictly enforced and that no
one votes who has not the right. The
city taxroll should be available for use
and the school authorities have the list
of children included in the school CEN

For the Public Good.

An independent and ably edited news
paper which commands great circula-
ton is probably the most potent inhu-
ence for good in the United States to-
day. The power for tho better things
in public affairs and policies, for in
stance, which is welded by such a
newspaper as the Chicago Record Her
aid can scarcely be exaggerated, and
much of that strength comes in the case
of the leading Chicago daily from the
fact that it is absolutely independent,
fearless and fair. 1t is not the mouth
piece of any interest except that of the
public. The Record Herald champions
the cause of the good, the clean, the
beneficial in every matter of city, state
or national moment. 1t is the knowl-
edge on the part of its readers that it
cares not whom it hits or what enemies
it makes, 80 long as it is battling for the
welfare of the community, which gives
to the Record Herald much of the in
fuence 1T enjoys. 1t gives in its news
columns the most complete and impair
tial reports of political events, another
evidence of its splendid news service.
