Did You Give Thanks?

The Thanksgiving day just past and
gone has marked an era of prosperity
All around us conditions are improving
The year past has been successful in
all branches of business, crops have
been excellent insuring good prices and
farmers are in good spirits. Were we
all thankful on this holiday? Did we
load our table with good things and
come to that table with thanksgiving
in our hearts or did we say, oh what's
the use, I've nothing to be thankful
for, and go the same old daily routine
with sour face, making all around us
miserable? We all have difficulties and
troubles but ii will only take mighty
little looking to discover myriads OF
things to be thankful for. Get uI
above trouble, hold up your head and
join the vast Brotherhood which il
making the world better today. Begin
by being thankful.

VALUABLE LESSON
STUDENTS PLAY A DANGEROUS
GAME WHICH WILL LEAD
TO TROUBLE.
DOES NOT LOOK FUNNY
Creased Rails on Electric Road and
Spiked q Switch; only Timely Dis
covery Saved Disaster.

About 200 very long-faced students
OF the M. A. c., evidently fully realiz-
ing the gravity of the offense charged
against them. filed into Justice Fra
zier's court in Lansing Saturday night
to tell what they knew Of the greas
ing of 100 yards of track, the spiking
of a switch and the short-circuiting
OF the current on the lines of the
Michigan United railway between
Lansing and East Lansing last night.
The act was committed with the
seeming intention of derailing an cleo
trio car loaded with junior students,
who were returning from the annual
~ hop, which had been held in the
Masonic temple, In Lansing. Had 1t
not been discovered in the nick of
time, II would undoubtedly have pre-
cipitated the car and its human
freight into the ditch.
Nineteen of the accused confessed
to the greasing of the track. but
stoutly denied having any connection
with the more serious part of the per-
Torrance, and also declared that they,
the sophomores, did not compose more
than one-third of the crowd that did
the work Chief of Police Behrendt
attempted to draw out the names Of
the students who had a hand in the
spiking and short-circuiting, but the
crowd refused to give their fellows
away. The chief then announced that
unless the guilty ones come forward
and confess TO him, he will put de-
tectives on the case.

Republican Nominees.

The Republican state convention
was held in Grand Rapids and Chair
man William NJ. Smith started the
proceedings with a speech in which
he bumped the party for extrava-
gance. The ticket nominated fol-
lows:
Supreme court justice-Chas. A..
Blair, Jackson, and John w. Stone,
Marquette
u. Of NJ. regents-Geo. p. Codd. De
troit. and w. L. Clements, Bay City.
Superintendent of public instruction
Luther l.. Wright.
Member education board-Wm. ].
McKone, Albion.
Members state board agriculture
I. Roy Waterbury, Highland, and w.
H. Wallace, Saginaw, six-year terms;
A. j. Doherty, Glare, and Robt. ID. Gra-
ham, Grand Rapids. four-year terms.
Two-year terms-W l.. Carpenter. of
Detroit; w. j Oberdorffer. Stephen
son.
The platform. which advocates the
holding of state conventions, says:
We are in hearty sympathy with
the demand for higher ideals In poll
tical and business life, and demand
the strictest integrity on the part OF
the public officials and business men.
We believe that the future welfare
of the nation demands the conserva-
ton of our natural resources; we are
heartily in favor of preserving our
forests and favor changes in our tax
laws that will encourage individuals
to reforest waste lands and maintain
the present forested area
We favor the greatest economy in
state expenditures consistent with the
proper conduct of our state institu-
tions. We congratulate the state OF
Michigan upon its great university,
its agricultural college and other in
stitutions of learning. and ask that
the high standard of the past be main
tanned. We renew our allegiance to
the principle of protection. which has
been the cornerstone of Republican
ism since the birth of the party.
We repudiate the theory that dele
gate representatives of an honest peo-
pie are less honest than the people
they represent. and We demand the
continuance OF conventions for con-
ference upon state and national poll
cies and for the formulation OF plat
forms outlining party principles
