It proves the value of Local Option,
as the amount specified would be
only 10 of a gallon, or about two
thirds of pint per year, for each
man, woman and child in the county.
LIQUOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
Law enforcement is relative
term. Its practicability appears to
depend upon the men whose busl-
ness it is to enforce the law and also
upon the men whose duty il is to
elect men who will enforce the law
No law will enforce itself.
But laws have been enforced and
will be again. Even the present
liquor law has been enforced, it is
reported 1t is therefore i'll advised
OF the part of the liquor interests to
circulate the threat that the local
option law will not be enforced.
And this will be construed as a
threat in many instances.
In no way is it safe to say that the
local option law will not be enforced
in Ionia county. Neither is 1t be-
coming for any citizen to make this
assertion. When man tells you
that the law will not be enforced he
is making a poor spectacle of himself
as a citizen. If the law is not en-
forced l. will be because of the fail
ure of this man and his kind TO do
their duty. Nor is /. sufficient to
place a man in office on the theory
that he will enforce the law. He
must be put into office on this theory
and sustained in his efforts to put
the theory into practice after he is
there.
The statement that if Ionia goes
dry the law will not be enforced is
an unwise statement. Who knows
that it will not be enforced unless il
is those who know through former
experience that they can break il
and have made up their minds to dc
so?
AS matter of fact, there is every
reason to believe that the law will
be enforced. 1t is reasonably certain
that the law will be broken. To
complete the syllogism there is ap.
parently a series of fines and jail
sentences in store for local option
law violators.
III Ionia county goes dry the law
will be enforced. And il will be en-.
forced in such a manner that there
be no doubt Of the fact

PUT BLAME ON FATHER TIME.
Endeavor Of Mule Trader to
Squirm Out Of Tight Hole.

Mr.. Justice Brewer Of the United
States supreme court, in lecturing be-
fore his law class at the George
Washington university some years ago,
had occasion to illustrate an argument
regarding the fight of time, and the
story he told in illustration was
rather better than the usual "darky"
skit.
Il knew Of case once, said the
justice, where two darkies snapped
mules. One OF them was an old hand
at the business, and in making the
trade he represented his mule to be
seven years old. This was in Febru-
airy. and the new posseasor of the mule
had not had 1t long when he discov-
cred that he had been materially
cheated, on the point of the mules
age. at least. But the victim did not
manage to f1nd the man who had vic
timized him until we'll along into
the month of June. Having found
him. however, he at once accused his
opponent Of making rascally misrep-
RESERVATIONS to him regarding the true
age of the mule in question.
You say, said the former pro
prietor Of the mule, dat when you got
de mule in February dat he was seben
year old-huh? An now it's June an
you low he's twelb year old?'

IN ARTISTIC ROMANCE.
Church Altar Piece the Center Of In
terestlng Love Story.

There is perchance no more roman
tic episode In art than the love OF
Fra Filippo Lippi for the little nun.
Lucrezia Butt, and romantic, too, Is
the history of the altar piece painted
for her convent church In Prato. Fra
Filippo, who had been commissioned
to decorate this altar, asked the abb
bess to allow the timid nun to stand
as his model for st. Margaret. The
abbess consented (this circumstance
itself speaks for the curious manners
of the times), and thus in the long
hours Of posing and tete-a-tete an in
timacy sprang up between the pair.
Upon the occasion of a church fete
and under cover of the crowd, Fra
Filippo carried of the no longer I'M
willing Lucrezia and she went to dwell
In his house, where her son Filipino
was born. The affair caused much
talk. even in those days, the more so
that several of Lucrezia's sister nuns
followed her example and Filippo's
house became the center of revolt.
The pope's Intervention and that OF
the powerful Medici were finally in
voked, with the result that Lucrezia
and her companions were forced to
return to the convent. and by curl
Gus irony of fate they were put to do
penance before the very picture which
had been the cause of their downfall!
This altar piece now hangs In the
municipal gallery of Prato and Is
known as the Madonna della Cinto-

New Find Of Coral.

Now that coral is becoming fash.
ionable again, 1t is interesting to learn
that a diver OF Algiers has recently
discovered off the coast of Mansourab
rich banks of coral, situated at a depth
OF about 100 feet.
The fishing for this curious polyp 10
considered one of the most difncult in.
dustries which exists. Since coral has
ceased to be fashionable II has not
been at all remunerative, and is lit.
tie practiced except by the Maltese
and Sicilians.
Up to the present time the annual
allowance OF 1000 francs decreed by
the Algerian government In 1904 for
distribution as prizes among the coral
fishers has not been used. This diver
will, without doubt. be the first bene.
nciary.

TAKES PLEASURE IN GIVING.
Contrast Between Mrs. Russell Sage
ard L~r LnehanA

and Her Husband.
You doubtless remember that Rus.
sell Sage, when alive, had a reputation
for stinginess, and believe that he
didn't have much fun in life. Eating
an apple for lunch, wearing a straw
hat two seasons, and suit OF clothes
until II wore out, doesn't appeal To
many people, with or without money,
as a part of a good time. But, when
you remember how many definitions
there are for a good time, it seems
possible that Russell Sage's life was
one continual round of pleasure.
What appeals to you may not suit
your friend The man who admires
grand opera may scorn the enthusiasm
of the football fan. Russell Sage, per
haps, had no hobby but making money
If this be true, 1t was, doubtless, be
cause he enjoyed making money and
saving Ii. Life to him was one long
drawn-out spree of getting rich, and
there never was a morning after head
ache; he never lost money. This con
trast In human nature has a striking
example right in the Sage family. The
wealth Russell worked so long and
hard to accumulate affords pleasure 10
his wife only as she gives II away,
never equaled by any other woman
and only surpassed by a few men OF
greater wealth.-Atchison Kan.

IL is generally estimated by those
in position to know, that from fifty
to seventy-five per cent OF pauper
expense and public charities; thirty
to sixty per cent of Insanity; and six
ty to ninety per cent of crime, is
traceable directly to the liquor traf-
fic; hence the last four items above,
are probably much too low, and yet
on that basis OF estimate, the traffic
fails by over four thousand dollars,
to pay the cost of caring for its own
product, and therefore increases the
taxes by that amount. But to go a
step further; according to the usual
computation, the saloons of Ionia
County take in about $350,4O0 per
year, or $40 per capita. Now con-
slider what IL will mean, to turn that
amount into the regular channels of
trade, groceries. meat, shoes, cloth
ing, hardware, house furnishings
etc. IL will mean increased prosper
ity for the farmer, the merchant. the
banker and the laborer alike; and
this invariably results, where prohi-
billion OF the liquor traffic exists.
Michigan has 800 paupers per
100000 population. Prohibition
Maine has 1853. Some difference,
and Michigan is a far richer State at
that. And Maine also has over FIVE
times as much money in the saw
ings banks. per capita, as Michigan.
Kansas has "A counties without a
pauper In the poor house.
There are now nine states where
he beverage liquor traffic is pro-
hibited. and nineteen more that are
from one third to three fourths dry,
under local option.
Michigan has 205 insane per 1OO,-
600 population. Maine has 1876.
