Cruel to Beasts, Cruel to Humans.

Following is a clipping from
the Chicago Daily Tribune which
will be self explanatory to those
who read the editorial columns
of The True Northerner last
week.
Chicago, Jan. 4.-Editor of
The Tribune. i heartily second
the remarks of Ben and Fannie
in your issue of today. The
man from Paw Paw, Mich,
speaks in his article of the cruel
ty of imprisoning or imposing a
fine upon the sensitive team ster,
utterly overlooking the obvious
fact that a man who is inhuman
enough to beat or otherwise ill
treat helpless animal under his
care would in all probability ex-
tend the same treatment to his
wife or children if he possesses
them, and cannot be suffering
particularly from a case of over
constituencies. Kind words do
not have much effect on such
cases, which only the proper au-
thority can bring to time. Let
the Anti-Cruelty society, which
has been doing such good work
see to it that such men are prop
erly disciplined and that law
is passed for the sharp shoeing
of horses in winter weather, and
the condition of the helpless
horses will soon be improved

Bad For the Justice.

Who says that local option is
a failure? John l.. Frisbie, of
Hillsdale recently resigned his
position as justice of the peace
In resigning the Office that he
had held for many years, he says
that local option, from an
officials standpoint, but hardly
from the standpoint of MAORI
ty of the taxpayers, or from the
standpoint of those who desire
to live in a community whose at
mosphere is moral and as near
pure as may be, is a failure.
Following is Mr.. Frisbie's letter
of resignation to the mayor and
common council of the city Of
Hillsdale:
To the Honorable Mayor and
Common Council of the City of
Hillsdale-Gentlemen: | hereby
most respectfully tender the res
ignation Of my commission as a
justice of the peace Of the city
of Hillsdale to take effect March
l, 1910. Cause: County prohibi-
ton, local option, no DRINKS, no
Migrants, no disorderies, no
business to further make the
Office desirable or in any way
profitable Really, there is no
use for more than one justice of
the peace 10 the city of Hillsdale
under present conditions. With
kindest saIutations to all our
good citizenship. | am,
JOHN l.. FRISBIE.

Van Buren, County Claims The Banner
The official records of the
county clerks Office show that
since the second day of Septem
Der last, the date when the
amended local option law went
into operation, and up to the
first day of January, there was
thirty-two convictions in the sew
eral Justice courts of Van Buren,
county and for the following of.
lenses: Hoboes, u; drunken
ness, Z; SANDER and indecent
language, 4; assault and battery,
3; violation of game law, 2; vic.
lation of truancy law, larceny
and violation of pharmacy
law, / each. The entire amount
of justice and constable fees al
lowed by the board of supervis-
ors at their January session was
but 1926 65, nearly 500 less than
in January, 1909, and about $3.50
less than in 1908 During the
same period Of four months
there we're but five persons held
for trial at the circuit court for
crimes committed since the first
day Of September, 1909, / each
for larceny and forgery and 3
for burg larry. Two of the burg
lari9s were committed by colored
individuals who were drunk on
Berrien county "budge The
foregoing record speaks we'll for
Van Buren, as being peaceabl1,
quiet, law abiding community,
and incidentally is valuable in
dication Of the benefcent effects
of the local option law. If there
is another county Of 30, 900 pop
ulation in Michigan that can
make better showing we should
like TO hear about it. Until
some community can equal this
record, Van Buren, claims the
banner.

BE GOOD TO THE MAIL NAN.

The following little poem has been
going the rounds of the state and coun-
ty press. Ii contains much for refec-
ton if you are a friend of the rural mail
carrier:
I'm hearty ADD I'm hale;
I've nothing in this world to do
But glide round with the mail;
But one thing almost breaks my heart,
And my nervous system Shocks;
It's the everlasting pennies
That I'm fishing from the box.
l carry stamps and envelopes,
And postal cards and SUCH
And l would like to sell few
'Twould please me very much.
But man can't sell unless you buy,
No matter how he talks;
So have to keep on diving
After the pennies in the box.
It's alright in the springtime,
Or when summer breezes blow;
But different proposition
When it's thirty-two below;
When all your fingers and your toes
Are frozen hard as rocks,
It's most anything but funny
Scratching pennies from the box.
Ard now quite confideDtialy,
I'll tell you something more;
rural carrier (way out west,)
Forgot himself and swore;
Says be: 81 can stand the snowdrifts,
can stand the frozen locks,
But blast the measley pennies
In the blasted measley box"
when the roll is called up yonder,"
And we shall gather there,
They wouldn't let mail man in
If they knew he learned to swear;
Ii you want st. Peter to opsn the gate
When your rural carrier knocks,
Buy stamps and don't be guilty
or putting pennies in the box.

1t will be noted that the labor accounts
