ITO ask the passage OF local op-
ton bill, although OF little Importance

Live Stock Exhibit.
Live stock Judges saJ that The eX-
hibits of animals at tha fair this year
are superior TO any ever shown In
Michigan before. II is notable fact
that Michigan breeders are getting a
good share Of the prizes also. which
means q great advance in live stock
breeding in the state. Formerly Mich
igau animals were shown In limited
classes and only the very best OF
them competed in the open ciasses
with the prize sheep, cattle and horses
of other states Now all classes are
open. but the Michigan stock has i'm
proved to such an extent that II Is
getting It's share of the honors never
theless.
The dairy building holds many
things OF interest besid 1.-The model OF
the city carved in butter, which Is the
most noted attraction. There Is a
collection OF cheeses nom all lands
which would do credit 10 an interna
tional exhibition although II Is notable
for quality rather than bulk
II may be added that this exhibit is
carefully enclosed in dir-tight glass

MUST CONTINUE RIGHT.

The following excerpt from the ad. dress of President Barrett at the National meeting at Little Rock in September, is one of the most appro- priate things to remember at this the beginning of the new year that we can think of:
 The perpetuty of this organization depends upon the fact that it must continue to be right We can not af- ford to be either cruel or unkind We can not afford to be unjust or insin- cere. We can not afford to be op- pressive or to destroy any of the great agencies of civilization or of progress which surround us. The one clear. crystal thing we must keep in our minds is the fact that We are here to demand and to secure every right and every liberty for ourselves and for our wives and for our children that our numbers and our influence and our i'm portance to the republic will justify.
 But when this is done I am sure that l speak the sentiment of the great and intelligent body over which I preside when I say that we do not wish to curtail the legitimate pros perity of any class of industry, high or low, in the republic. We wish our rights, we demand our privileges, we insist upon our full equality in the privileges of the government and in the conditions of transportation, of prices and of representation. But with these accomplished we are and we must continue to be American cit izens, standing without malice and without bitterness or narrowness in our own places in the economic and moral life of the republic and recog- nizing the right of every other class and of every other man to live, and willing in our own minds and with our own hands to help in the prosper ity of our fellowmen."

Oh, no' When your local was or ganized the thing was not finished.
 You were not organized for the pur- pose of passing few strong resolu- tions to bluff the other fellow! But to cooperate with each other for the god of all
 Organization without cooperation is some thing like Spening a lot of time putting on style and losing lots of sleep and other things too tedious to mention, to win your position, an then for the lack of grit and pluck, let some other fellow take the prize.
 Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" You need not fool yourself by thinking that since you have knocked out the bucket shops, bully ragged the cotton speculator, bluffed the New York Cotton Exchange and fly-blown the government cotton re- ports, that you can now retire to your homes in peace and plenty; you must keep at it all the while looking out for the same old enemies to poke out their heads in a new place.

The best place to hold the cotton is on the farm. There should be some sort of a system for keeping record of the supply. but the farmer has the cotton at a less cost than anybody else, or ought to, and he can best af- ford, for that reason, if for no other. to do the slow marketing which is another name for letting the mill man have 1t as he needs it.

When the final analysis is made it will be found that nobody in particu- lar is to biame for the furry that is now passing over the financial sky. For the past two or three years the pessimistic dyspeptics have been talking of some sort of a coming panic that would be a pace setter for all time This has resulted in the storing away-out of the channels of trade all the a,ailable cash. Banks, mer- chants and individuals have all done this, and the so-called panic is simply the reSlt of an accumulation of fool ishness. and never had any real cause in a financial way. 1t was simplJ the result of one of those stamDedes which no one can account for.
