The Correction OF the Oath.

II became known Saturday that
Chief Justice Fuller in pronouncing at
the Inauguration the oath which Mr..
Taft was to take. made a mistake. The
chief justice said:
81 do solemnly swear that | win
faithfully execute the constitution of
the United States" etc.
Senator Knox was standing near Mr..
Taft as the oath was being admins
tered. He noticed the mistake and
smilingly whispered TO Mr. Taft;
Don't do it,"
There was a pause OF a few sec
onrs and then Mr.. Taft with appraised
hands spoke the oath in its correct
form: Il do solemnly swear that will
faithfully execute the duties of the Of
fee Of president of the United States
and will to the best of ability preserve.

The WET AND DRY
BATTLE IS ON
THE FIGHT is TO BE WA0Ep
WITH vlooR BY BOTH SIDES
FOR VICTORY.
WET AND DRY COUNTIES
Here Is the Latest Dope About the
Great Fight Coming on Next Month
Between the Vets and Drys.

The battle of the drys and vets In
Michigan is on in earnest for the con
troll of the counties where the liquor
question will be submitted next
month. The counties in which the
great fight will be pulled of are
Allegan, Berrien, Calhoun, Charlie
voix, Dickinson, Jackson, Genesee
Washtenaw, Eaton, Altoona, Benzie,
Branch, Glare, Emmett, Hillsdale'
Huron, Ionia, Iosco, Isabella, Kalkas'
ka, Lapeer, Livingstone, Mecosta,
Monroe, Newaygo, Ottawa. Sanilac
and Tuscola.
In many counties-in fact, practical
ly all of them-the result is going TO
be very close, according to the best
information available. II Is very hard
to obtain a definite line on the coun-
ties, because both sides are claiming
victory by overwhelming figures.
Allegan was dry, but went wet two
years ago, and is very likely to re-
main wet, the principal argumen. be-
ing that Saugatuck, which is big
summer resort center, openly violated
the law under the dry regime and
conditions were worse than with the
saloons operating under a tax.
This same argument is being used
with effect in Berrien county, where
both Benton Harbor and ST. Joseph
are resort towns. South Haven, which
is in Van Buren,, supposedly dry, is
the horrible example held up.
The biggest fights of all are being
made in Jackson, Washtenaw and
Genesee. In the first and last of the
trio are big cities, Jackson and Flint,
and it is warrior dry indeed who Is
willing to stake much that prohibition
could ever be enforced in either of
these cities.
The university is the center OF the
big fight at Ann Arbor and the result
there is very close. Even the faculty
at the university is divided on the
question. One faction believes that
the saloons should be wiped out TO
keep the students away from tempta.
ton, while the other side believes that
well regulated saloons are better than
the dens which are sure to spring up
If the county goes dry. What is true
of Jackson and Genesee is also true
of Calhoun, where Battle Creek is the
big city.
The indications are that in all OF
these counties the country districts
will vote dry, while the cities will &C

come the country vote

Canadian Annuities.

Consul Frederick NJ. Ryder of Rim
ouski furnishes the following informa
tion concerning the Annuities Act of
1908, inaugurated by the Canadian Gov
ernment: The measure originated with
and passed the Senate and House of
Commons without a dissenting voice.
Annuities from $50 to 5000 year are
provided upon payment of stated sums
periodically. or lump sum amounts.
The annuities are nonforfeitable, and
cannot be seized for debts of any kind.
Premiums may be deposited in local
postoffices, and in case beneficiary
should die before annuity becomes pay
able, all payments made, with COM
pound interest at 3 per cent, added, will
be paid to the heirs. The government
bears all expenses of management and
responsibility in connection with the un-
dertaking, without charge or deductions
of any kind
That this new departure-has every APP
pearance of becoming popular is shown
by the fact that the sale of annuities
during the seven months in which these
have been on sale has totaled S2O5. 900
with the prospect of total of one
quarter million dollars at the close of
the first year.-Daily Consular and
