THURSDAY. JUNE "a, 1909.

IN A rather remarkable editorial
ofrecent date the Southside SEN
tinel lays great stress upon the
fact that Mr. Evans has paid his
capItation tax and is thereby
qualified TO vote and hold Office.
Whatever use may have been
made in Midiiesex of the omis-
inio1 of Mr.. Evans name from the
list we do not know, but we are
prepared TO say that TO our know
ledge it was certainly not men
toned with the purpose Of iujur-
ing him In Mathews and surely a
man possessing the fine record
and ability crediteA to Mr.. Evans
by our Contemporary could not be
injured in his own home county
by SO trilling a charge.
Brother Ryland makes the still
more remarkable charge that
those who are opposing Mr.. Evans
have none but personal reasons
for their conduct and that such
action IS not becoming in good
Citizens. We are at loss to I'M
'derstand how man shall make
a decision between two candi-
dates in a primary if his does not
do so on personal grounds. When
the two candidates are both good
Democrats and both stand side
by side upon the great principles
of that party; when they both IA
'vor good schools, good roads,
larger pensions for Confederate
Veterans and etc; and when their
ability to represent tkir constitu-
'ency with credit is very nearly the
same I'VE see no way of making
n selection save on personal
grounds.
Did we have then no other rea-
son for opposing Mr.. Evans and
for supporting Mr, Christian than
that mentioned above we would
feel that our course was Unsuitable
but when we remember Mr.. Chris
tIans long experience in matters
OF such vital Importance to our
people as the FISH and oyster bus
sness and IN education matters:
his recently discovered ability as
nm orator and his genial and tax
ing personality we feel that our
position needs no further reinforc-
ment. We do not wish it 10 be
thought that we are running
down Mr.. Evans tor whom we
have great respect and admiration
but that we are talking up Mr..
Christian for whom we are going
to vote and who we believe to
be the man for the place.
We feel SUE that Mr.. Ryland
did not meanCe say that people
world make mistake not to vote
TO send Mr.. Evans back because
he had made good representa-
tive and deserves such a mark of
approval, Surely the editor of
the Sentinel has preached too Of
ten doctrine Numerically OPP
posed 10 this to be able to lead
the charge under these colors
without jaring his equilibrium
along the lines of consistency to
a dangerous degree and we trust
he will not persist in the expert
inent.

Judge Mayne
From Missouri
Hence Local Option Still Holds
Good in County.

Practically the last stand our sa-
loon friends can make In opposing the
will of the voters of Charlevoix County
was made st the county capitol Mon
day and Tuesday.
Through Atty Lisle Shanahan Of
Charlevoix, Leonard Adams-a saloon
keeper of the same place-secured a
temporary injunction from Judge
Mayne restraining the Board Of Sup
ervDers from canvassing the vote on
Local Option until the arguments
could be heard on the case as to why
the injunction should be permanent.
This temporary injunction was served
on County Clerk Payton,
The case was heard Tuesday. Atty
Shanahan appearing for the "wets"
and Pros. Atty A. b. Nicholas, as
sisted by Atty j. M. Harris, repre-
senting The People.
The petition whicn was filed in
Chancery asked for the injunction for
the following reasons:
First: Because the vote was
against the ordinance OF 1887, which
annexed the Northwest territory, be-
cause It takes PERSONS property
without due process OF law.
Second: Because the ballots were
not all of the same shade Of paper,
some being white and Others of a
yellowish cast.
Third Because the local option
ticket was la a separate ballot, the
claim being that it should have been
on the same ballot with the Good
Roads ticket,
Forth: Because in some voting
precincts separate ballot boxes were
used for the local option votes.
After hearing the case, Judge
Mayne decided that the arguments
were not sufficient to sustain the
''wets" position and he therefore dis
solved the temporary injunction and
the Board of Supervisor, went ahead
with the canvas.

A Strong Attraction.

That merry, romping, musical farce,
"Ma's New Husband" will appear at
the Loveday Opera House on next
Friday night. From all accounts it
Is one OF the big laugh-makers Of the
season, aud the management has been
obliged to promise return dates in
nearly every city that it has played in
order to satisfy the popular demand.
The Dcompany has been receiving
glowing press notices for clever, rapid
fire work and for the singing and
comedy merit of the individual men,
hers.
Much Of the success Of MAS New
Husband" is said to be due TO its plot
and to the dexterous handling OF a
maze OF side-splitting situations.
The scene of all the mirth and mel.
ody Is laid in the Chicago home of
rich old-sport bachelor, Culpepper.
His cousin, Maria Longfellow, has re-
Gently lost her husband. Culpepper
had loved her ia the old days and
writes her to come en- from New York
and take charge OF his home. His
letter arrives In the nick OF time to
save Maria from visions Of starvation,
as she has just been eaten out OF
house and home and furniture by a
lot Of impecunious actors. One Of
these actors. Herbert Short by name,
has Obtured her heart. They arrange
to marry as soon as there is money In
sight To tide over the honeymoon.
Maria brings Short along to Chicago
and as CuIpepper has never seen her
little boy, Willie, q lad Of fourteen, it
is agreed that Short will impersonate
that youthful darling. 1t is needless
TO state that Short is the center Of
mirth and laughter. His escapades
with Dorothy, the housemaid, with
Mrs. Dickles, guest. with Madame
Halliday, a vocal teacher, with ven-
erable tutor and old humbug. Mr..
Hooker, and indeed with every char
acter ia the play afford little time for
sanity or .straight-faced demeanor.
The musical numbers include all the
new aud popular songs, solos, duets,
auazettes, and choruses, together
With pleasing dancing numbers.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change q
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition OF many
women. The freshness, the charm, tho
brilliance vanish like the bloom from u
peach which Is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form Of its
fairness.

For the Public Good.

One hears good deal about the
power of the press, but the fact is
that no newspaper has very much real
power over men or events in these
days unless it is known To be stand
lug sanely and steadfastly for the well
fare of the whole community and ha-
tion. The day Of party organs is
past. Sensational papers appealing to
popular passions cannot move thought
full men-the men who make history.
The only kind Of newspaper that
really has tremendous power i'm these
days is the independent. reliable, dis
interested journal Of wide circulation,
whose columns are known TO stand al
ways for the genera goOd-for public
honesty and a square deal, whatever
happens. An excellent example of
this sort of journalism Is the Chicago
Record Herald. 1t has the enormous
circulation that deseryedly goes with
the printing OF all the news, but its
power lies In its wise, conservative,
independent editorial policy. which is
shaped with one sole end in view
the public good It's news and criti-
cal columns show the same spirit.
