HORSE SENSE.

Ii you work for man, in heavens
name, work for him. If he pays
wages that supply you your bread and
butter, work for him, speak we'll of
him, think well of him, stand by him,
and stand by the institution he
represents. / think if l worked for a
man. l would work for him. l would
not work for him part of his time,
but all of his time. l would give an
undivided service or none.
If put to the pinch, an ounce of
loyalty is worth pound of cleverness.
If you must vilify, condemn and
eternally disparage, resign your
position, and when you are outside,
damn to your hearts content. But,
L pray you, so long as you are part of
an institution. do not condemn it,
Not that you will injure the
institutlon-not that-but when you
disparage the concern of which you
are part, you disparage yourself.
And don't forget-"I forgot"-won't
do in busiress.-Elbert Hubbard.

FIRE DEPART
MENTS RECOMMENDED

"a fire department in every home"
is the unique plan advocted by George
Maurer. president of the local mutual
fire insurance company to protect the
members from heavy losses, conse-
quent assessments, and make the COM
pany stronger as whole. The men,
bers are for the greater part farmers.
IF every farmer would buy or con-
struct several ladders of different
lengths, lay in stock of chemical fire
eXtinguishers, and a roll or two of
garden hose" said Mr.. Maurer at the
annual meeting 'smany small fires
that result disastrously could be
nipped in the bud. as it were, and
thousands of dollars could be saved in
years time. 1t is no easy matter
for farmer to summon aid, because
the buildings are so far apart"
The plan was enthusiastically re-
ceived, and many policy-holders have
already taken steps for fire protection.

Travelling men that come to our
town remark that we have very
pretty town. Yes; we have a pretty
town, and by the number of travelling
men that come here regularly we
know that we must have business

ton. Everything is on the move and
the boom. New enterprises are start
ing among us and new life is quicken
ing in the old industries. Many
things attest the prosperity of our
town. With her trade, her churches;
her schooles; and her cultured popula-
tion we have frst-claSS town in

The marvellous growth of the La
Toilette constituency, not only in
Wisconsin, but in vast number of
other states and localities as well, is a
theme of much conversation and
wonderment.
This condition of affairs is highly
gratifying and is not at all surprising
when it is remembered that the issue
rather than the man, is the drawing
card.
Thus it follows the man who fathers
the issue demanded by the majority
instead of the few, is the logical man
for the presidency and who, other
than Robert LaFollette could it be?

There never was preacher or presi-
dent, poet or politicianwho could please
everybody, There never was tinker
or tailor or soldier or sailor who could
suit US all. Show US doctor or lawyer,
a merchant or sawyer who pleaSes
the whole multitude. The Lord him
self and all the angels in heayen never
half succeeded in comforting the hu-
man race. There is not thing On
earth or anywhere else that meets
the approval of all mankind. Then it
would be nonsense for editors or CORES
poudents to fret when their honest
efforts fail to please a certain few.
Write with sound judgment. an
honest purpose and decent pen, and
the majority of sensible people will
rise up and call you blessed.

TIMELY ADVICE.

Stop grumbling. Get up two hours
earlier in the morning, and begin to
do something out of your regular pro-
fession. Mind your own business and
with all your might let other peoples
alone. Live within your means. Sell
or give away your dog. Smoke your
cigar through an air stove. Eat with
moderation, and 60 to bed early.
Talk less of your own peculiar gifts
and virtues, and more of those of
your friends and neighbors Be cheer
full. Fulfill your promises. Pay your
debts. Be yourself all you would see
in others. Be good, do good and stop
grumbling.
Don't forget that your neighbor
though he differs from you politically
may be just as honest in his convic-
tions as you, that this is free country
where freedom of opinion is one of
the biggest of the broad foundation
stones Of our government, and there
would be an end of that form of
government without it. Be tolerant,
therefore, or rather not tolerant but
rational, patriotic and good natured.
Stand by your convictions and let
your neighbor stand by his if so dis
posed. Keep COOL Argue politics if
you will, but do it calmly and rea-
sonably, and bear this fact always in
mind, that just as you have made up
your mind unalterably as to the way
in which you will vote, ninety-nine
hundredths of the voting population
has done the same thing.

We fiEd the Republican sentiment
in this city is strongly in favor of
party nominations for city election.
We would therefore suggest that all
republicans who are ambitious to hold
any city office including member of
the common council and member of
the county board, outside of the direct
city officers, confer with their friends
and after a conference which will be
called in the near future, prepare
nomination papers and procure signers
for the various offices.
In this manner, if republicans sue
coed to office the party will be held
responsible for the administration.
There is strong sentiment in the
community for more economical ad-
ministration of city affairs for the
coming two years, and it will be i'm
portant for the party, to present a
platform upon which they will ask the
suffrage of the people at election
time. Let none but good men be
urged for city offices, and who will
stand for an economical and equitable
administration of affairs.

Perhaps the best movements are
sometimes failures because the best
people do not participate and push.
On the other hand less meritoriuus
movements are successful because
influential and successful people lend
their assistance. A good movement,
backed and differed by good men,
makes for success; and the election of
the officers by the directors of the
Grand Rapids Humane Society Satur-
day is guarantee of that organiza-
tion's success. When such men as
Atty. Geo. L. Williams, f. J. Wood,
E. P. Arpin, Earl Pease and R, w.
Lyon enter actively into humane
work, it means that cruelty to chill
dren and animals in Grand Rapids
must cease. We congratulate the
society, and commend the officers.

Sunday Rev. Meilicke, Of the
First Moravian church, completed
five years of service as pastor
of that church. During that
period of time he has been active
in the work of upbuilding the morals
of this city, and in consequence there
are many outside of his church who
unite with the REPORTER in ex-
pressing the hope that he may con-
tinue his good work in this city many
years.

The slums are always down on the
local paper. They scan it's every item
to see if any of their evil doings are
given publicity. The only work some
of them ever do is in hustling around
after the paper is published to borrow
a copy to see if anything is said about
them. They are we'll aware that the
newspaper man of the present day is
"onto" all their doings and only feel
relief If they read the paper and see
nothing derogatory to them.

Senator LaFollette will have not

Guiding Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Nebraska, and will have district dele

When one finds he is out of SYM
pathy with his town, and can only
say good word coupled with an
apology, he ought to get out. Many
people fall into sort Of unconscious
habit of growing. But tits miserable
habit. Such people make of them
selves dead weight, while, of course,
they imagin themselves particularly
independent. The individual has
about all he can do to get along under
his own loads, and wants help and
encouragement from those going his
way, and who are identified with him
him in interest. So with the town. 1t
it's interest to care for, and it
needs all the pluck, all the energy, all
the cooperation and helpfulness it's
citizens can provide and bring to bear
Every man is part of bis town. The
town embraces the fortunes. and in
some measures at least takes on the
character of the man. So loyalty to
ones town is no more than loyalty to
ones self; and this loyalty is in the
the line of all we'll shaped human
nature. Therefore it is right to say
that the man who does not stand up
for his town is in some way dwarfed.
There is something wrong about him,
His fellows will pass this judgment
upon him, and the chances are that
while he may add to the discomfort of
others he will not escape making
himself unhappy.

FARMER STUDENTS

The course this winter, which is
considered an exceptionally good one,
begins February 4 and lasts for ten
days. Prominent men, both inside

and thump his head against, disputing
every mans opinion, fighting and ell
bowling and crowding all who differ
from him. That, again, is another ex-
IRENE. Other people have their opin-
ions, so have you. Don't fall into the
error of supposing they will respect
you more for turning your coat every
day, to match the color of theirs.
