Sensitive People.

Sensitive people seem to en-
JOY sensitiveneSs. They are al
ways on the lookout for some
thing to give them pain. They
are much like cat would be with
a tail forty feet long, dragging
around on the floor ready to be
tramped upon. We are crowded
pretty thick upon life's great
thoroughfare and can't well help
elbowing each other as we pass
along. Ninety times out of
every one hundred no harm is
intended, but those sensitive
people, who have the longest
and sharpest elbows of any body,
are always attributing a motive
to every accidental jog they get.
The fact is, personal importance
is at the bottom Of this whole
thing. The world is not think
ing about you-has no desire to
hurt you-but you imagine that
the whole world should be run
in your interest.

A Good showing.

The South Haven Gazette re.
ports practically nothing doing
in the local courts Of the city.
The same condition prevails
throughout the county. For the
months of September, October
and November there were, accord
ing to the reports on file in the
office of the county clerk, q con-
victions in the various justice
courts of the county, classified
as follows: Assault and battery.
8; Migrants, g; DRINKS, 4; dis
orderly, 3; violation of game
law, 2; violation of truancy law,
/; SANDER, 1 indecency, /; lar
ceny, |; 1t is very apparent that
magistrates are not getting rich
out of the proceeds of criminal
business. Only four drunks in
three months in the entire coun-
ty speaks well for the effect of
the amended local option law.
If any county in the state can
show a cleaner record we would
like to hear about it. 1t is not
an uncommon thing for the sa-
loon cursed city of Kalamazoo to
report more drunkenness in a
single day than the entire coun-
ty Of Van Buren, had in a period
of 80 days, and most of Van
Buren's drunkenness was the
result of Kalamazoo booze.

SHINE JUST WHERE YOU ARE.

Don't waste your time in longing
For bright, impossible things;
Don't sit supinely yearning
For the swiftness OF angel wings;
Don't spurn to be a rushlight
Because you are not star;
But brighten some bit of darkness
By shining just where you are.
There is need Of the tiniest candle
AS well as the garish sun;
The humblest deed is ennobed
When it is wortbily done;
You may never be called to brighten
The darkest regions affair;
So fill, for the day, your mission
BY shining just where you are,-Knights
Progress.

As Seen by Brother Reid.

Three South Haven gentlemen
with political errand on hand
and bit of business, perhaps,
graced the city last Thursday.
They we're Guy w. WicksaIl,
Geo. H. Myhan and David Reid.
We shall not undertake TO tell
distinguishmentS, but each has
held or is now holding public
position to which they were or
are shining ornaments. Unless
the persons called upon insisted
upon knowing something about
the politics Of the trip, he was
likely to be left ia the dark, and
to infer merely that the call was
one of courtesy. That is usually
the way with Van Buren, politi-
clans, they are SO different and
delicate about revealing their
hopes, wishes and aspirations.
To those who were arduous in
their desire to know what was
up, it was hesitatingly contided
that Van Buren, county will pre-
sent Mr. Wicksall as a candidate
for state senator next year, it
being it's turn to supply the re-
publican nominee. 1t is posi-
BILE that Mr. Harvey Of Paw
Paw, ex pension agent, may be-
come a candidate also; and it is
possible, too, that the question
of favor TO this or that candi-
date for United States senator
may come to cut a figure in the
canvass before the primary cleo
ton. The Gazette can say for
Mr.. Wicksall that he has all the
qualities, natural and acquired,
necessary to the making Of a
good legislator, and so far as
these are concerned his service,
if ever rendered, will surely be
found acceptable to the district.

SUPERVISORS of the census
are making active preparations
for the gigantic task of taking
the next census which will be
taken next spring, starting April
10. Z. f. Dawson of the Allegan
Press is supervisor for the fourth
congressional district, and has
opened an office in Allegan for
the transaction of his official
work. All letters of inquiry, or
applications for positions as
enumerators of the census should
be addressed to him at Allegan.
The law stipulates that the CEN
sus must be completed in thirty
days.

DON'T KNOCK.

That paper called the Courier
Has published many little rhy mes
About political problems,
And other events of the times
Now we're not going to slam Mr.. Cole,
For I'm sure he did not write
The poem which appeared in the issue
or last week Thursday night.
The first of that little poem
I'll admit was very we'll,
But the last of the same production
l. hardly fit to tell.
Ii you read it you'll remember
lie says in almost the last line,
The states condition could he no worse
Than it was in 1909"
Now | think the person who wrote this,
Should know little more
About the person they're slamming,
And not get quite so sore
Yes, Warner makes some mistakes,
As every governor will,
But we shouldn't get sore about that
For so does President Bill.
Now please don't misunderstood me
a nd think that my little rhy me
Would encourage Mr. Warner
To run for the fourth time.
He's held the Office long enough
So that mes had his share,
And now we'll all agree
To put some one else there.
But let's not throw mud at him,
nd ALWAYS fume and fuss
But thank him very kindly
For what he's done for US.

A LESSON FROM TURKEY.

IT Kings must have been very bad in Tur-
n key or the Young Turks could not have
brought about a revolution with so little trouble.
The disposition is to give them encourage
ment and to hope for the best from them. The
Young Turks will be given a chance but those
who expect great improvements-that is what
we call great improvements-are likely to be
disappointed. A Turk is Turk after all
1t is probable, however. that the regime,
with the country having a parliament, will be
able to stop the atrocious massacres that have
disgraced the world and the reign of the de
posed Sultan. These atrocities could have been
prevented long ago had the so-called Christian
nations not been so jealous of one another and
fearful that one might gain point OF advantage
over the other. The thousands of slain Arme-
mans and others are chargeable to the great
powers of the world.
The revolution in Turkey was due to de-
sire of the people TO be relieved from oppression
of various kinds including the enormous taxes,
and to have some voice in the administra-
ton of the affairs of their country. They were
bringing about a revolution and fighting for
those things which this country has possessed
for years. When we see how other people liv-
ing in darkness struggle and sacrifice and give
up their lives for rights which we so freely
possess, how carefully should our people guard
these treasures. And yet how lightly some
persons hold the blessings that we enjoy and
how willing are they to barter their most sacred
privileges for a mess OF pottage.
