THE REVIVAL
Much Interest Is Being Manifested In
The Meetings.


The Hart and Magann union Revival
meetings in the Methodist church are
moving off with tremendous swing,
the afternoon service especially has a
very marked increase of attendance.
Mr.. Magann has been slightly indis-
posed and unable to use his voice but is
rapidly improving and will be ready
for work in day or two. Mr.. Hart is
AT his best and he thrills and stirs and
deeply moves the people, and withal is
so alive and entertaining that the de-
light Of the audience grow TO the very
end of the service.
He has been helping the ch hristians
into better experience and more
thorough knowledge Of the Word this
week, and the quick response of nearly
the entire christian body last night to
come to the front and the crowded and
congested condition of the aises and at
the front, although seats had been re-
moved and more room made showed
the deep movement Of the spirit in their
hearts.
Surely Belding never had such soul

Seems to Be the Sentiment of
All The Officers Through
out The County.
OFFICERS SPEAK PLAINLY
Prosecutor Dwight c. Sheldon and
Sheriff Cilley State Their Posi-
ton on Enforcement.

1t has been said that the local OPP
ton law will not be enforced and in
consequence there will be more liquor
sold and drank in the county than be-
lessness. But there seems to be a
strong sentiment in favor of a strict
enforcement of the law and a desire
on the part of many people even who
were not in sympathy with local OPP
/ tipn to favor its enforcement to the
letter. They say the large majority
given in the county is an expression
of sentiment to that end and that
sentiment should be respected.
The lonia Sentinel last week in
terviewed Prosecuting Attorney
| Dwight C.. Sheldon and Sheriff Elmer
F. Cilley as to their attitude on the
question of enforcing the law and
they were found TO be heartily in ac-
cord with the popular sentiment
Mr. Sheldon said:
1T is the intention Of the prose-
cutting attorney to enforce the pro-
hibitory liquor laws as far as his
ability permits and without dscrim-
ination OF favor
1T has been our policy in the
past TO investigate cases where con-
dltions permitted before the issuance
of warrants, and we shall adhere 10
this method in the future I be-
lieve in this procedure ~ft is right %
the accused and the people, and
promises the best results.
1--WE hope to receive assistance
from all local officers in the enforce
ment of this law. as well as of all
other criminal laws, and when that
aid shall not be afforded us we shall
act independently as we have done in
| the past.
Il have every confidence that
the sheriff and his deputies through
out the county will bend every effort
toward the enforcement of the local
option laws, as they have in the past
in the enforcement of other criminal
laws.
"Sheriff Cilley has frequently as
sured me of his cooperative efforts
in this regard, and | rely absolutely
upon him.
| Mr.. Cilley was emphatic in his
assurance that the law would be en-
forced as far as possible in his power.
II shall insist on the law being
lived up to-" he said Now that
the people Of the county have shown
what they want it will be my only
duty to see that they get 1t.

w. F. Bricker Closes His Sixth
Term as Mayor-Wm. F.
Sandell Succeeds Him
"BUSINESS"WATCHWORD
Exaugural Address Given by Bricker
aGood One-New Mayor Ap-
points His Committees

Last Monday evening saw the re-
tirement of a Democratic mayor from
the city of Belding and in his place
a staunch out-and-out Republican
will direct the destinies of the Silk
City for the next twelve months
Willis F. Bricker, who has filled the
mayoral chair for six terms, at
various times, turned over the helm
TO his honored successor.
The usual routine of business was
carried out under the old regime.
Bills audited, petitions read, etc,
and when all necessary business had
been transacted Mayor Bricker closed
his administration with the follow
ing eXaugural address which was
warmly applauded by all present, fol-
lowing which the old council ad-
journed sine die. The retiring
mayor then relinquished his seat to
mis- successor and upon taking his
seat Mr.. Sandell arose and with his
customary smile turned to the alder
men and said: well, gentlemen;
how do you think you will enjoy
sitting in the council chamber with
a man who has no more hair on his
head than l have? But l have to lay
the blame for the bald appearance to
Hibbard McElroy, who has been prac-
ticing on it for the past 15 years.
He then said that he had not prepar-
- 81 ANYTHING in the way of a speech
for the occasion but he desired to
thank the retiring mayor for the
kindly words which he had spoken
concerning him and that he would
have more to say at the next meeting.
After offering few suggestions
which at once suggested a strictly
business administration he appointed
the following committees:

CAN NOT VIOLATE LAW
Supreme Court Ruling on Question
Submitted Was All Right-Full
Text of Decision Given.

The recent decision of the SUI
preme court reversing the decision of
a Cadillac Judge in convicting and
| imposing fine and a jail sentence
on former saloon keeper of Cad
lilac for serving beer TO guests at
a party ut his home after local option
went into effect, has given rise to
considerable unfavorable comment
against the court by some of the rad
ical local optionists and been a
source of encouragement to the wet
element who favor beer drinking at
all times. in all places and as much
as they have mind to, considering
II their own business.
1t was not charged in the Cadillac
case that the dispensing of beer to
guests at the party made his conduct
obnoxious to the law, or that he pur-
chased the beer for the purpose of
serving il on the occasion.
This decision has generally been
understood as letting down the bars
and making it possible to serve beer
at wedding celebrations. etc, but the
court makes il clear that this point
is not involved. though IL also makes
clear that one of the saving features
of respondent action in dispensing
beer at his daughters party was that
he already had the beer in the house
and that 1t had not been purchased
for the occasion. The opinion is
written by Justice Ostrander and is
herewith presented in full:
THE single question presented is
whether the giving of liquor by a
host to his adult guests by way of
hospitality, in his own home, violates
the provisions of act 207, public acts
1889, known as the local option law.
1t is a misdemeanor, punishable by
| fine or by Imprisonment. for any per-
son to himself or by his clerk. agent
or employe, directly or indirectly,
manufacture, sell, keep for sale, give
away, or furnish any vinous, malt,
brewed, etc, liquors, or to keep a sa-
loon or any other place where such
liquors are manufactured, sold, stored
for sale. given away or furnished
with an exception relating only to
druggists and registered pharmacists
The object of the act is to prohibit
the manufacture of, and all traffic
in, liquors 1t can not be reason
ably construed so as to apply tC
the individual use or the keeping fol
use of liquors by citizens. Whether
an individual might, even in his own
house, dispense liquors purchased
and kept for his own use in such
manner as to make his conduct OBJ.
noxious to the law is a question not
presented In this case respondent
served eleven pint bottles of beer
to large number of guests who Wis
tied his home upon the occasion OF
the birthday anniversary of his
daughter. 1t was a surprise party
the beer was not purchased for the
occasion, and it is not claimed there
was any intention to violate or to
evade the law. The jury was told
that the law had been violated and
that they should find respondent
guilty"

Gentlemen: Before retiring from

During the past two years ii has
been the policy of the health officers
and health committee to quarantine

to contagious diseases Immediately

past year we have further prepared
