Doing Real Auditing.

Padding expense accounts is a
form of petty grating with which
the state board of auditors has been
greatly bothered and some men well
known all over the state are said to
have received notice that their ex-
pense vouchers contained items
which the board would not allow. 1t
is even said that some circuit judges
have, by mistake or otherwise, turned
in accounts which have been disal-
lowed.
One means taken by the board to
ascertain whether the state is secur-
ing value received is through the
work of a clerk whose business it is
to ascertain what passenger trains
have diners and parlor cars attached,
and what are the rates of hotels.
This makes ii rather embarrassing
for a state employee who turns in a
bill for $3.50 day for staying at a
hotel which the board knows has no
rate higher than $1.50, or for 1925
for meal on a diner when the train
has no ration car attached.
1--WE are not starting in to cause
any trouble for any one" says one
member of the board, "but we are not
going to allow padded expense ac-
counts If We can help it, and this is a
word of warning"

Sheriff Probing a Horse Stealing
Charge Finds a Condition of Home
Life That is Startling.

Trading wives is a pastime said to
have been INDUCED in by Lansing
township citizens. Not entirely salts
fed with his matrimonial ventures,
and looking upon the wife of an ac-
quaintance with envious eyes, one
young farmer is said to have made a
proposal TO swap" wives. There was
a difference OF opinion regarding the
comparative value of the women, but
after considerable "dickering' the
deal was completed, one man giving
an ak handle ito boot" according to
information gained by the sheriff's de-
partment during recent investiga-
ton.
While probing a charge Of horse
stealing recently, a miniature grand
jury was conducted In Justice Crow
ley's court at East Lansing at the
suggestion of Sheriff Cline. Several
witnesses were sworn during the Sc
cret session and one of the women
called to testify is said to have told
of the wife trade.
Other unusual acts by Lansing
township citizens are said to have
been divulged, and when the sheriff's
force completes its probe, some inter
esting developments are expected.

Lunatlc On a Rampage.

An unknown farmer about 20 years
old, who cannot speak word of Eng

Bennington township Thursday even

deputy sheriff in an automobile, after
a desperate chase, and taken to Lam

Brown there in an automobile. When
in sight of the place the officer count
ed two dead calves and four dead

wild whoop and in the distance
spied his quarry. Then he began a
mad chase after the man down the
road in the car. The man proved to
be a wonderful Splinter and several
times fred his revolvers back ut the
auto. Finally the fugitive cut across
the fields to Bath and the deputy
had to abandon his auto and pursue
on foot There the man was cornered,
but would not give in. He appears to
be a Bohemian, but no one knows
where he lives or can get a word out
of him that they can understand.

LINCOLN SERMON
Some Of The Things Said By
Rev. Holly

One hundred years ago on the 18th
day OF Feb. by the grace of God, was
born Abraham Lincoln, of unquestion-
ed parentage and fitting ancestry.
The production of men of such vast
powers and transcendent characters,
unique in their race, is no freak of ma
ture nor racial accidents.
God came closer to the race in Abra
ham Lincoln than He has for thous-
and years: for no man since the dawn
OF the christian era has so nearly APP
proXimated the life of Jesus of Nazar-
eth as did this man, the greatest char
acter of the first modern century.
The genius of Shakespeare, the mu-
sic of Mozart and the art of Angelo are
wonderful, but some of the sayings OF
Lincoln, like the teachings of our Lord,
abide forever, playing upon the heart
strings of the world, and the sweetest
music of human brotherhood responds
in symphonies of universal peace.
There is but one other man in his
tory like him, who would have under
stood Abraham Lincoln and that man
was VIM. de Nassau, Prince of Orange.
Nothing could sweep him from the
path of duty toward the fulfillment
of a mission destined to transform the
philosophy of human life, giving it
the delayed Interpretation of divine
love in the terms of the Golden Rule.
Lincoln dates new epoch in the
worlds history, because his ideas and
ideals are as indestructible as he is
immortal, and they are changing So
ciety from the old order of war, lust
and greed to the new order of peace,
love and faith in God and keeping
steadily onward in his course, like a
| luminary of the highest order, this
unique figure wildly outlined against
the worlds horizon, a dark, somber
Silhouette midst the livid red of war,
clasping the hand of the Son of God
signed the greatest state paper of the
18th century, the Emancipation Pro
1 CldllldUlOu.
Nothing but a personal conscious
ness of God upon his soul can explain
Lincoln'S greatness. He was humanity
plus. A faithless man never reaches
the pinnacle of fame nor the ranks OF
the immortals Faith, a living faith
in God, thrilled every drop of Lin
coins blood" for he said: ''truth is
everything. know l am right, fol
Christ teaches it, and Christ is God,
Like Christ, like Socrates, like the
Prince of Orange, like all the world!
Redeemers he dies at the moment O
victory by the hand of the assassin
But death cannot kill an immortal, il
onlyintensifies the victory and spread.
broadcast heliving, eternal truth o
{ the sacrificial victim.
f All the genius of poetry, music, ar
and religion seemed to center within
his majestic soul and made him th
teacher of the purest philosophy o
, human life as revealed by the Son o
Man. Abraham Lincoln, "the sim
plest, serenest, sublimest character
OF the age is Gods masterpiece o
Christian Civilization.
