UNCLE JOHN AN EXPERT.

Uncle John Cook OF Decatur was in
Paw Paw, Thursday. to attend the bat
talon picnic. Uncle John is always
welcome guest at any gathering. His
ready wit, mis- good nature and hearty
hand shake have always made him
general favorite. To all Appearances
Uucie John is lust as young as he use
to be- He is still vigorous and does
more work every week than many young
men who are simply worked to death"
He takes great pride and delight in caS
ing for his large garden and truck patches
and the editor OF The True Northerner
knows whereof be speaks when he pys
that our good friend knows just hos~to
raise the finest cabbages, the largest
onions, he sweetest peas and the largest

Why is it that nearly every
body who attends church likes to
sit in the end of a seat and hold
onto it like grim death, and every
person who gets a berth in that
pew must stumble over them?'
Well. we confess we do that sort
of thing. 1t is to get out quickly
in case of fire-we sinners are
quite strongly reminded of fire,
flames and birthstone that is pur-
suing us. and we cant tell Just
exactly when it is going to come.
We want to be in position to

LEFT STORY WITHOUT MORAL
Judging from Boys Comment Father
Who Believes in Early Rising

Is there a boy in the world who
doesn't hate to get up in the morning?
A Jersey man who has three possible
future presidents does not think so.
With his he has tried everything from
bucket of cold water and a Single
to proverbs. The single seems the
best argument. The proverb was in
this nature:
"You know Jones?" the father re-
marked at the dinner table, address
ing his wife We'll, he is very
early riser-takes a long walk before
breakfast every morning. Besides the
good ii does his health, he says that
he finds any number of things on the

TariT Makiag "a Compromise

The long tariff fight is now
drawing to d close. The confer
ence committee report, which
was revised according TO the
ideas of President Taft, has been
approved by the house of repre-
sentatives and the long strife is
nearly over.
1t is hard to realize and com
prehend what a stupendous un-
dertaking it is TO make tariff
bill. There has been consider
able criticism on some features
Of the new bill, and there would
be criticisms 40 matter who made
the bill or how the schedules are
arranged As a rule, however.
the most strenuous objections to
the proposed tariff bill have come
from those who know the least
about it. We predict that when
the new bill shall be put in prac-
tical operation it will be univer-
sally conceded to be the very
best tariff bill ever adopted in
the United States. OF course
some features of the bill may be
open to criticism in certain Sec
tions of the country. 1t must he
remembered, however, that the
business interests of the different
sections of the United States are
widely diversified, and that tariff
after all must necessarily
be a compromise among many
interests.

Not True sportsmen,

1t is a matter of sincere regret
on the part of the Paw Paw
sportsmen that there is not a
local act to protect the fish in
Maple lake for a term OF years.
The lake has been stocked with
all kinds of game fish, and there
is true craftsmanship enough in
local fisherman TO refrain from
fishing in the lake for several
years, when there ought TO be
excellent sport for everybody.
1t seems, however. that there
are those living in the vicinity of
the north part of the lake who
are fishing in the part formerly
known as Ackley lake nearly
every day, and it is reported
that one party caught 10 pounds
of pickerel there the first of the
week. We refrain from publish
ing the names of the parties at
this time, but they are persons
who ought to know better.
1t isn't right that a large ma
jority of fishermen should de
prive themselves of the local
sport when two or three persons
take advantage of it. With the
fish that were already in the
lake and those that have and
are being planted, the lake would
soon be one of the best fishing
grounds in the country. 1t ought
to be left entirely alone for sew
eral years. Don't be greedy or
piggish, boys and men, fish some.
where else and let Maple lake
get fully stocked, then we will all
take a whack at it. Be true
spOrtsmen, and not what is
known as fish hogs" and "pot.
hunters. The sport later will
amply repay US for all the sacri-
fees now Think it over.

Honor To Whom Honor IL Due.


There are two organizations
holding reunions in Paw Paw
this week which deserve more
than a passing mention. We re-
fer to the annual picnic of the
county battalion and the meeting
of company G 4th Michigan cav
airy. The True Northerner de-
sires, in behalf of the citizens of
Paw Paw, to extend a welcome
to those old veterans and to as
sure them that the glad hand
will be extended to them at any
time they desire to honor our
village with their presence.
But short time must elapse
ere the last trumpet will be
blown and TAPS" will be sound.
ed for the last survivor of the
memorable days of '61-'65. Their
names will be but memory, but
the results Of their heroic
achievements will always be
present as a reminder of their
devotion and sacrifice, and when
future statesmen shall turn to
the pages Of history for the most
unselfish devotion to this Repub-
lie, they will have but to glance
at the record of the "boys in
blue" during the days that tried
meh's souls" Measured by the
standard of patriotism, they have
no parallel in history. They
marched through four years of
blood, restored broken union
and indicated the authority of
the nation.
1t is therefore meet that while
this last vestige of the mighty
Grand Army of the Republic re-
mains with US, we show in every
way our appreciation of their
efforts and extend to them that
hearty welcome which should be
accorded them in their gather
ings here. Make them feel that
what we have to give is theirs;
that they are entitled to the best
the land affords, and that their
wishes are but to be expressed.
1t was once a proud boast to
be able to say, 81 am a Roman
citizen" 1t is now an honor to
be accorded the title Of "Ameri.
can citizen" and that honor was
secured by the sacrifices of those
noble men who were of the grand
old army of the Potomac or who
marched with Sherman to the
sea. So we say let the highest
honors be accorded the old vet
Grams who are yet with us, who,
during the dark and bloody days
were weighed in the balance
and we're not found wanting"

Sensible Advice

The habit of INDUCING in the
use of profane or obscene Ian.
guage is one of the most non
sensical habits a human being
ever acquired. No man or youth
ever raised himself in the esti
nation of saint or sinner by the
use of foul language. Purity Of
thought and speech are valuable
virtues. And yet, it is our honest
opinion that the man who unwit-
tingly "cusses" a little now and
then, is not half so big a sinner
as the fellow who continuously
thinks evil and speaks evil of his
neighbors, and refuses to pay
his honest debts upon the theory
that "Jesus paid it all, all the
debt | owe If the pulpits of
the land would "go after" the
fellows who refuse to pay their
honest debts and to love their
wives and their fellowmen-"go
after" them as vigorously as they
go after the fellows who "cuss
and use tobacco" the true re-
formation Of the race might be
nearer at hand.

You're the gong which turned the

First to make Old George sniff air,
And cease to be quite so bizarre;
Then TO place an army strong
In the field with sword and song
OF land of liberty
Filled with opportunity.
Yet it was taught Betsy Ross
To supplement the stars for cross
In a armament of blue
Held by stripes of blood red hue.
AS the days of strife assuage,
And our country takes on age,
More we learn to reverence thee,
Emblem of the brave and free.
So again to you we plight
Our strength, our all, in any fight,
To preserve you for ali time
Ia freedoms cause in any cline.
