ADJACENT To CITY
OF KALAMAZOO
Celery City Gateway of Fruit
Belt. Interesting Article
in Sunday Gazette.
GIVES KALAMAZOO THE CREDIT
Big City Always Claims Every
thing in Sight, But we are
Proud of Big Sister.

In its issue of Friday last the Kal-
amazoo Gazette devotes something over
page to an interesting write-up of
eastern Van Buren,. The article opens
as follows:
> kalamazoo is just at the entrance to
the gateway of one of the largest, if not
the largest, grape growing territories in
America, and while not the oldest, it is
the most extensive producing belt be.
tween the oceans" Continuing, the Ga
zette says further: "Grapes are grapes
from Mattawan to Paw Paw and beyond,
and in every direction
The grape industry in the territory
adjacent to Kalamazoo extends back
ward over period of nearly 30 years."
is another quotation from the Gazette.
1t would appear as though it was in
tended by the writer that Kalamazoo
should be credited with the developm ent
of this great industry, but we have no
criticism to pass upon that, as we have
long been accustomed to the idea of hav-
ing our big sister city on the east claim
pretty nearly everything in sight. and
We feel rather proud that Celeryville
is adjacent to Paw Paw. Kalamazoo
is beautiful city and prosperous and
may we'll be pleased with it's adjacency
to so handsome and enterprising town
as Paw Paw.
The Gazette article was profusely IL
lustrated, among the numerous cuts be.
ing one of the Paw Paw Grape Juice fac
tory, and while in some respects the
write up was inaccurate, it showed a
commendable degree of enterprise on
the part of the Gazette and was decd-
edly interesting to its Van Buren, pat
rons-and their name is legion.
The thanks of the vineyardists and of
the business men of Paw Paw, Lawton
and Mattswan, the three principal ship
ping points for the fruit of the vine, are
certainly due to the Gazette for the val
liable service it rendered them by its ex-
tended sketch of their flourishing indus

If the Gazette man will come to Paw

luscious Concords, Niagaras and Della
wares than he ever before was 10 his
whole life and it won't cost him nickel.

EASY GAME FOR bLOOMINGDALE
IS to o. Crowd Disappointed
Expected Professional Players

The Paw Paw ball team went to
Bloomingdale last Friday and were de-
feated by the score of 10 to q. Bloom
ingdale had advertised an all star team
for Paw Paw players who are now play
ing professional ball. The result was a
disappointed crowd, as Paw Paw was
not strong. None of the old players
were in the team and none were expect
ed. Just why Bloomingdale should ad-
vertise as they did has not yet been ex-
planned. Bloomingdale has a strong
team, but there will be a ball game,
when they meet Paw Paw tomorrow.

THE SAME ROOSEVELT.
from the New York world

FROM tue New YORK world.
The Theodore Roosevelt who now
bursts forth in virtuous denuciatiun
of Senator Foraker and the Stand
ard Oil Company is the same Theo-
dore Roosevelt who summoned Ed
ward II. Hartman to the White
House shortly before the 1904 cleo
ton and encouraged Hartman to
raise $2jO,OOO campaign fund,
which could be used only to corrupt
voters.
He is the same Theodore Roose-
welt who made George b. Cortelyou
chairman of the Republican Nat
ional Committee in 1904, thus setting
his chief corporation inquisitor to
the task of collecting campaign tri-
butte from the corporations subject
to Federal investigation.
He is the same Theodore RoOsc-
welt whose 1904 campaign was fl
nanced in part by life insurance con-
tributions filched from the policy
holders.
He is the same Theodore Roose-
welt who made Elihu Root, Thomas
f. Rydn's attorney, Secretary Of
State in his Cabinet.
He is the same Theodore Roose-
welt who made J ..Pierpont Morgan $
partner, Robert Bacon, assistant
Secretary of State.
He is the same Theodore Roose-
welt who personally licensed the
Steel Trust to acquire the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company regardless
of the Sherman law.
He is the same Theodore Roose-
welt who commanded the reactionary
corporation platform adobted by the
Chicago convention and gladly ac-
cepted James S. Sherman as the
Republican candidate for Vice Pres
ident.
Mr.. Roosevelt is greatly scandal
lied by Senator Foraker's unseemly
relations with the Standard OH
Company, but what II Foraker had
been a supporter of my Policies"
instead of an opponent of my Pol

Mr.. Roosevelt when he is asked to

HASKELL RESIGNS.

Governor G. n. Haskell OF Okla
homa, Treasurer of the Democratic
National Committee, charged by
Hearst with corrupt connection with
the Standard Oil Company and the
charge exploited by President Roose-
welt without line of proof, last
Friday night resigned the treasurer
ship, that his connection with the
Democratic Committee might not
give the Republicans room to be-
cloud the real issues Of the cam
paign by their sensational charges
against him. He declares his inno-
ccnce, defes his accuscrs, and warns
them that he will meet their attack
on his own responsibility, and that
in SO doing he will treat Mr.. Roose-
volt and all of his accusers as pri-
vate citizens, "subject to the penal
ties of the law which they merit. "
Following is his letter of resigna-
ton:

mittec, New York City: In pursu-
ancc of information as to your date

morrow.
Since the President and his cab
met have Joined forces with Mr..
Hearst and three Wall Street brok-
ers to make n personal fight against
me, Notwithstanding the President
In his answer to Mr.. Bryan aban-
doned his charge about Ohio Stand
ard Oil cases, yet by all the means
at the command of the Government
and the millions of Hearst and his
Wall street allies, they persist in
vicious, unwarranted and untruth-
full attacks on me. Personally, !
welcome their attack and shall meet
II with all the vigOr AT my command.
| shall treat them all as private citi-
zens, and subject to the penalties of
the law which they merit.
In this | know | shall have the
aid Of my neighDors at home for all
proper purposes, but my time must
be free from other demands here.
Again, my heart is full of hope for
the election of Bryan and Kern.
Honest government and rule by the
people is ut stake. Important be-
yond any battle at the polls in the
last generation is the pending con-
test.
| would not for one moment con
slider remaining in any way CON
nected with the committee, therefore
hereby tender my resignation as
treasurer of the Democratic Nation
al Committee, that not the slightest
contest of my own could in any way
be used by the President to cloud
tue sky, and shield our opponents
from discussing the real issues and
laying bare the Republican duplicity
TO the people. Sincerely yours.
