The Rev Benjamin r. Graft Of Hart
ford is in serious trouble. 1t seems that

straight and narrow path" Last week
Under Sheriff Shrine went to Kalama-
zoo and arrested the Rev. Mr.. Graft on a
charge of non-support. He was found
in the company of one Miss Wayne Mer-
win, and the surroundings seemed to
justify the officers in taking both Mr..
Graft end his companion into custody.
They were placed in the Kalamazoo jill,
where they are awaiting trial on a
charge OF illegal Capitalization. Boz DIS
were fixed al 1000 each, which up to

Attorney General Bird has held
that county boards of election
commissioners should prepare
ballots for each political party
having registered its vignette
with the secretary of the state
for the nomination of candidates
for governor and lieutenant gov
ernor at the September primary.
The fact that candidates for the
offices named may not have filed
petitions for their nomination
makes no difference in the duty
devolving upon the election COM
missioners, the law providing
that the enrolled voters Of each
political party shall vote for
party candidates for governor
and acknowledgement at the
general primary.
Under this opinion of the at
torney general blank ballots for

THE county road system may
be adopted in any county if the
voters so ordered.
The statute provides that "on
petition of not less than ten free
holders residing in each of the
several organized townships, in
corporated village and cities, of
any county, or upon a majority
vote of the members of the board
of supervisors, the board of sup
ervisors shall submit the question
of adopting the county road sys-
tenn TO vote of electors of such
county," and such submission
may be at a general or special
election, but not later than at the
next general election. If ma
jority Of the votes cast on the
question are in favor of the pro-
position the system shall be con.
sidered as adopted.
ln any county adopting the
system there shall be elected a
board of not more than three
county road commissioners, the
number to be determined by the
board of supervisors. In the
first instance such commissioners
may be appointed by the board
of supervisors. And commits
sioners shall be elected every
two years at the spring election.
The commissioners are EN-.
powered to lay out such roads as
they may deem necessary which
shall not be less than two rods in
width (and they may change the
width or location or stral ghten
highways already in existence J
The statute makes ample pro
vision for and adjudication and
award of damages in all cases
where the commissioners and
owners of private property are
unable to agree.
The commissioners are empow-
cred to declare any highway un.
der their jurisdiction to be a
county road and a name is to be
given to each such county road,
and they may abandon control of
any such county road which shall
then revert to the township.
The commissioners are author
lied to grade, drain, construct,
gravel or macadamize any road
under their control, and to con-
struct bridges, culverts, ETC., and
to repair and maintain the same.
They must determine the
amount of tax that should be
raised to be expended on county
roads each year, which shall not
exceed two dollars per thousand
of assessed valuation, such de-
termination is subject to approx
al or disapproval of the board of
supervisors. The commissioners
are forbidden to incur any in.
debtedness outside of the amount
of tax ordered to be collected.
but the electors of the county
may vote to bond the county for
the construction and maintenance
of county roads.
The compensation Of the com
missioners is TO be fixed by the
board of supervisors.
Any county having adopted the
county road system may abandon
it by a majority vote at an cleo
ton to be called as in the first
instance for the adoption of the
system.

Did The True Northerner Arrive at Hasty
Conclusion?

The Decatur Republican In It's
issue of last week takes issue
with The True Northerner in our
position on the good citizenship
league and states that we have
arrived at a hasty and enron
eous conclusion, We still main.
tain that the position of The
True Northerner is correct and
believe that Brother Moulton
will come to the conclusion
sooner or later that he is the one
who has CARVED at a hasty con-
clusion.
If the ministerial association
or good citizenship league would
confine its efforts to the enforce
ment of the law and the better
ment of mankind in general, its
object would be worthy and en-
titled to the support of every
good citizen of the county. But,
if, as The True Northerner un-
derstands the matter, one of the
objects Of the league is to inves-
tigate the records and fitness of
the several candidates for the
different county offices and use
its influence in favor of any one
candidate to the detriment Of
other aspirants for office, then,
we say, the league would be
going too far, and, in our judg-
ment, doing that which does not
properly pertain to the efforts Of
such an organization.
The political situation in Van
Buren, county cannot be com
pared with the Bath House
John" and" Hinky Dink" methods
in Chicago politics, as intimated
by the Republican. Candidates
for county Office in Van Buren,
county have, as a rule, been
clean, capable men, and very few
mistakes have been made in the
choice in conventions and at the
polls, The county is not so
large but that all the candidates
are we'll known to all the voters
Of the county long before time
for the primaries without having
to be told by any society or
league
The Republican asks, us there
a candidate for Office in the coun-
ty at this time who is afraid to
have the light turned onto his
record?' Certainly not. Then
why should the good citizenship
league show any partially and
make certain selections? Let
the voters decide That is one
of the cardinal principles of the
primary system. The voter
should be supreme without being
influenced by any concerted &C
ton Of some society.
1t is possible that The True
NOrtherner may be mistaken in
regard to the objects Of the
league. If so, we hope to be
corrected. Nor do we wish to
be understood as being opposed
to the ministerial association or
good citizenship league. The
men who belong to this associa-
ton are good citizens and honest
in their purpose. We believe
that much good can be done
through such an organization,
but we do not believe their efforts
be used in the interest of
any one candidate for Office to
the detriment of others.
