FRANK HENEY WILL
 HAVE POOR CHANCE.

HAVE POOR CHANCE.
 The returns of the primary election for the city and county of San Fran csco in California indicate that Mir. Francis J. Heney. well known in Ari- xona. will continue to be prominent in the news dispatches of the day. not only personally but officially, for at least a couple of months to come yet
 Under certain other circumstances there would be reason to predict that his prominence would continue much longer: and. it IS true, 1t may any way. But the great thing that stands in the way of making the latter prediction, or the prediction in its latter form, is MT. Heney's own selfishness. MT. He ney, in fact, is the greatest obstacle ID the way of MT. Heney's more perfect and generally acclaimed success. When he first came forth to the land of more people from the comparatively unde- veloped r.ehes of nature in Arizona, those in the former part of the world who were not definitely tied up to the proposition of "get all you can and never mind who suffers" were ready with acclaim for him as the political hero who was to save the princess of the common people. Bye and bye they found to their dismay and cha grin that he had feet of clay, like oth- CT more common people; they also thought they saw that he had an am b.t.on as great as Julius Caesars and far less tactful; that in the land of magnificent reaches he had developed -an imagination which showed him a straight road to the United States Sen ate from California, no matter over what heads he had to walk to get there, and a character. as shown in some of Lincoln Steffens' stories ol his exploits in Arizona that failed, toe careless in it's mastery of details, ir it's real devotion to the cause at stake 10 enable him to always retain what he had gained, and that is bad cual ity in the eyes of the people. He wen at things with a v.ndictiveness ana bombastes furioso which many people thought quite unnecessary. In fact. O late the prosecution has become per secution to them.
 It is these perceptions on the par of the people that make it so hard t secure a jury for the second Calhoun trial. and that will probably make conviction by Heney. or while Hene, IS any part of the prescott on, impos sib3e; though there is no reasonabl doubt faat could Heney be remove from al connection with the prosecr aion and the people became satisfie of that fact, District Attorney Langdo could prosecute him to a successful issue; for there is no general douh that Calhoun is guilty. The peopl are pleased in a primary sort of wa with seeing one neTyy man pitte against another, who if he is not a nervy as they thought at first. has 8 least made a bluff at it. For req nerve comes from sincere fidelity [ a cause, not selfishness.
 Thus it happens that after sever; years of trial in actual work. even th people who desire clean goyernmer are not more than half of them reall enam3red of him. but fight with hil because they cannot for the momer find any better instrument to fgf

Things to Remember

Our readers surely did paste that
little item of "things to remember !"
in their hats, for the Ionia fair people
are already putting up another new
buildin. This time it's a cattle barn
$50 feet long which makes total
addition for the year of nine hundred
and forty feet of the best stall room
found on any fair ground in the state
of Michigan.
1t don't look as though they were
"afraid of the cars" does il? But then,
if fifty and .seventy-hve dollar prem
iums don't fill up their buildings some
one please tell us what will. In years
gone by, we have heard not few of
our farmer friends say, eve don't help
the Ionia fair because the premiums
are too small, they don't pay TO bother
with and besides we wouldn't get any
thing unless there happened to be
some money left after the race horse
fellows had been paid"
OF course, we can see the way they
looked at it, but this year will prove
whether or not they mean business,
for the speed premiums are as low
as it is possible TO get them and have
good races, while those in other depart
ments, especially the livestock, have
been boosted sky high, and the pay
is sure.
There is still another side of this
fair question, and il strikes home to
all of us: Ionia's homecoming is sure
to bring people from far and near;
they will want good time and we
want them TO have il. The time and
place could not be more opportune.
We have the show and the place to
show it, The combination is so per-
feet there is but one thing that will
beat it-that one thing is your diposi-
ton. If your disposition is such that
you got mad years ago and are not
over it yet, the place for you is out
behind the woodshed until the fair
and homecoming are over, but if you
got mad years ago and now swami TO
play in their yard again, you are
the very one they want most, for
you will play all the harder AS we
said before, your disposition is now
the only issue. Don't go behind the
woodshed, but do go over in their yard
and play, and play hard.

Wooden Wedding

occasion was their wooden" wedding
anniversary. They brought with them
many well-filled baskets of good things
and bountiful dinner was served in
Mr.. Kings maple grove, after which
a melon feast was INDUCED in.
Mr.. and Mrs. King were the recip-
tents of large number of beautiful
and useful gifts, including two dray
loads of furniture, besides numerous
articles of silverware, china, linen,
useful household articles, etc.

PROF. VAUGHN COMING
Dean of the Michigan University to
Lecture Here Soon

The people of Belding and vicinity
have a rare treat in store for them on
Monday evening, Sept 20, when that
highly cultured gentleman, DR.. Vaughn,
dean of the University of Michigan,
will be the guest of the Belding Anti
tuberculosis society and give free
lecture in the opera house on the sub
ject which is today attracting the at
tention of the best thinkers in our land
and which strikes home TO the heart OF
everyone who has a friend afflicted
with that dread disease, tuberculosis.
The doctor is one of the best authori-
ties in the United States on the tuber-
culosis subject and his address will be
filled with valuable suggestions along
the line of prevention, treatment and
cure of the white plague.
The officers of the Belding society
desire to have the opera house packed
on this occasion and the Banner hopes
that their wishes may be realized.
Don't make any dates for that night
but be there yourself and bring your
neighbor, as everyone is interested in a
subject that means so much TO so many
homes right here in Belding alone.

City Moves Along Under Lo-
cal Option in Fine
Shape
BUSINESS REMAINS GOOD
Citizens Like the New Order OF
Things-No Empty Buildings
Because of Ii

Local option has been in progress for
three months and conditions in this
city are so much improved along busi-
ness lines and from cleaner-city point
of view that the indications are that
the vote in favor of suppressing the
saloon would be greatly increased over
that of last spring if one were TO be
taken today. Conditions along lines of
lawlessness, debauchery and corrup-
ton under the old law when we had
four saloons were never very bad, not
like some wild western towns or even
after the order of some of the localities
in our own county, but yet bad enough
to lend an influence in the wrong di-
rection.
1t was thought by the element in
favor of retaining the saloon that busi-
ness in this city would be badly dis
rupted by trade going 10 places where
liquor was sold and that the buildings
vacated by the saloons would lie idle.
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1909-09-09

This, however, has not proven true; all
the buildings were leased at once, one
of them to clothing dealer at larger
rental than was paid before; another is
occupied for shoe store, another for
a bakery and the fourth as a soft drink
and cigar smoking parlor and il is
stated that the proprietor of the latter
place is making more money than he
did when il had its liquor connections.
A careful canvass of the business
houses of the city show an improved
condition in trade, with collections and
payments much in excess of former
years The banks also are far ahead in
deposits and financial business.
While there are "A few farmers and
rural folk who perhaps go TO some
other town To trade occasionally, there
are rs many or more who come here
because of "wetn conditions in their
natural trading places, and have so
stated.
1t is unquestionably true that there
are many of our citizens and farmers as
well who like glass of beer and would
take it if they could get it, but are per
fectly satisfied to forego that luxury so
long as the closing of the saloon door
eliminates the temptations from the
boys and the men of uncomfortable APP
petite and desire To squander money.
Many working men who were in the
habit of spending from five cents TO
thirty-fve and forty cents a day in the
saloon now do not have that opportun-
ity and ii goes into the family expenses
or into other channels of trade. A ma
jority of these men now have money
left after the pay check has settled
accounts without the bar bill coming
first.
The nightwatchman states that on
his rounds he finds no alley parties
with baskets of bottled booze and its
attendant hilarious orgies, in which
some young men took part whom you
would least expect He states that the
closing of the saloon has been an excel
lent work and one of great advantage
to the city so far rs his observation goes,
and he has chance To see and hear
good many things.
There are a whole lot of men in this
city and surrounding country who are
better off today with the closed saloon
and who are not afraid TO say SO.

Michigan Soldiers Home

The attendance at the Michigan
Soldiers Home, located at Grand Rap

previous month there were but 934.
An even hundred ladies and 90S men

There were 2S new people admitted
during the month, % re-admitted and
34S absentees returned, while TO offset
these figures, % were discharged dur
ing the month, 2s2 were given indie
finite leave, and IL deaths took place.

OFF FOR PARIS
Miss Lena Leonard Left Last Week to
Pursue Her Musical Studies

Miss Lena Leonard, who has been
spending the summer with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. ii. J. Leonard, left last
Thursday on her trip to Paris. She
sailed from New York Saturday and
expects TO arrive at her destination
some day next week. She intends to

some of the best instructors in Europe,

high proficiency in the art as is possi-
bic for her. Her work as instructor in

LATTER DAY SAINTS
Held A Successful Meeting Here
Last Week.

The Latter Day Saints closed very
successful three days meeting in this
city Sunday night. 1t is estimated
that more than two hundred were
present in the church and large tent
provided for the occasion. During the
three days services, dinners were
served on the grounds, and people
were present from different parts of
the state. Sermons were delivered by
Elder Scott, of Coldwater, w. ID. Ellis,
of South Boardman, Elder Mcknight,
of Lansing, and Elder st. Johns, of
Canada.
The church here received a great up
lift spiritually, and pastor w. T..
Garvor is very much pleased at the
outcome of the meetings. Meetings
are being continued all this week in
the church, conducted by Elder Scott.

citation, which is called the West Mich
igan Odd Fellows Picnic Association

Business Change

Belding has another business change
to record this week. This time the
change takes place in the grocery store
of Bachelor d Curtis. Mr.. Curtis has
desired to retire from the firm for some
time past, but the desired end was not
attained until the first of this week,
when Mr.. Bachelor purchased Mr.
Curtis interest. Mr. Curtis has not
yet decided what he will do in the fu-
ture, but Mr.. Bachelor will put forth
every effort to make his grocery store
attractive and as desirable place as
possible for those who need anything
in the grocery line.

Changes in the Game Laws

Some sportsmen are unaware that
according TO the revised game laws
quail are protected for five years, and
it will not be until 1914 that they can
be hunted. The laws were passed
during the closing days of the last
legislative session, and very few seem
to be aware of the laws as passed by
that body.
Partridge may be shot from October
10 to November 30, but dozen per
day is the limit. The season for water
fowl, such as ducks, snipe and wood
cock which are of greater general favor
with local sportsmen, opened Septem-
ber and closes January l.
The usual privilege is accorded
hunters to break their dogs on game
birds fifteen days before the season,
provided firearms are not carried.

Pat May Be Dead

"Pat" DeCoursey may be dead, as a
man of his description was killed by
an insane man in Medford, Wisconsin,
last week. DeCoursey said before he
died that he lived in Grand Rapids.
"Pat" was well known here, where he
has usually blown into the city about
once or twice year for the past twenty
years, coming and disappearing quietly,
an Irishman who loved his short pipe
and tobacco, and who could crack a
joke with the best of jokers. II "Pat''
