Mckinley Carnation Day.

The Goth of January will be the sixty
eighth anniversary of the birth of Will
liam Mckinley and 1.-The Carnation
League of America" will again do hon
or to this distinguished son of the re-
public and as tribute to his memory
will wear his favorite flower upon this,
his natal day.
Patriotism feeds and grows upon ma
tional traditions, historic events and the
memories of famous men, and while
this nation is greater than any man yet
there are those who stand on Pisgah's
height and catch the coming glory.
There are cycles in the history of ma
tions and of men, and forever associ-
ated with the name and fame of this
republic will be the names of the three
great martyrs to the cause of human
and civic liberty, Abraham Lincoln,
James A. Garfield and William McKin-
ley.
Their lives are bright and illustrious
with work and achievement, and they
most fittingly exemplify the possibilities
in a land of universal liberty.
To neither of these was fortune and
favor measured with unstinted hand,
but they came from the furnace of
struggle and endeavor with that meas.
ure of success which can only be won
by hard and unwearied labor, and by
means of that application which opens
the door to those only who are willing
to use the talent which has been en-
trusted to their keeping, and which
must be used to bring its own reward.
With the passing of the years these
great names will forever grow brighter
and brighter in the galaxy of nations,
and those who are to come after will
find world of inspiration in the lives
and deeds of these illustrious leaders,
and be lifted to a higher plane of en-
deavor by the examples which are to be
found In the humble birthright and the
marvellous conquests which were won
through honesty of purpose and safe
reliance upon the sustaining and guild.
ing hand of Omnipotence.
Let us therefore, for one day at least,
pay tribute to this Ole whose life was,
in the fullest measure, an example
which can we'll be followed by the COM
ing generations.
Nothing could be more fitting as a
memorial to William Mckinley than
that instituted by The Carnation
League of America

Cong. Fordney Opposed to Civil
Pension Bill.

Detroit News Correspondence
Washington. Jan. 17-"It is easy to
sympathize with President Taft's idea
that something should be done to en-
able old and wornout government
clerks to retire from the public ser
vice in comfort The spectacle of an
aged person who will be penniless II
discharged from Office, is not a pleas.
ant one to contemplate, yet | cannot
agree with the theory that these peo-
pie are entitled to pension"
Congressman Fordney, of Michigan,
was discussing the present movement
for the pensioning of government en-
ployes when he gave expression 10
the above.
"As it seems to me-" he continued,
"a civil pension list is utterly repug-
nant to republican form of govern
ment. We, the people of the United
States, have banded ourselves togeth-
er here for the establishment and
maintenance of equal opportunity fu'
all, as nearly as may be, and for mt
tual protection i'll that opportunity
For us now to segregate 10000 to
100000 of our number and say TO
them that we will make them class
by themselves, with privileges NOT
granted to the rest of the people,
seems to me to be entirely outside OF
the theory and intent of our institn-
tions.
Il know the president wants these
people compelled to chip in a certain
amount of their pay every month to-
ward the pension fund, and ] concede
that this is little better than to take
the money directly out of the treas
ury. Yet it is not muchs better.
Doesn't Like Taft Plan.
Whenever you pass law to force
a certain portion of our population to
exercise thrift you enter upon an nm
fair and un-American discrimination.
You compel those who are thrifty OF
their own volition to contribute to-
ward the old age of those who WIZ
only be thrifty when the law forces
them TO be.
Take the government employees
here in Washington. With few ex-
ceptions every individual of them gets
more pay and works less number Of
hours for it than is the case III priv
ate employment of the same kind
Yet these government employees ask
for pension upon which to retire
when they get too old to work. By
what right can l, as a member OF COR
gress, vote to give pension to a gov
ernment clerk who works seven and
half hours day for Sl,400 year.

ployment in the eighth district OF
Michigan who work 10 hours day,

PRODUCING COAL FAST
New Haven Coal Company Now
Making Excellent Proeress-Coal
In Great Demand.

In Great Demand.
The New Haven Coal company is
gradually increasing the daily tonnage
of coal taken from its new mines in
New Haven township. The present
output exceeds 200 tons per day. Lack
of small coal cars for the mine has been
a great handicap but this is now being
rapidly overcome by the receipt of new
cars.
Locally the company has met with a
pleasing success in the sale of it's coal.
In addition to large quantities sold at
the mines to farmers living in that
vicinity-there has been an enormous
local demand-and at times it has been
a problem to fill all the orders. With
the present large production however
the company is in position to meet all
demands
A large amount of coal is also being
shipped to outside points and is evi.
IDENTIFY giving most excellent satisfac.
tion as new orders are coming in every
day at the company's office.

Influential Citizens Consider Him aw

Washington, d. c., Jan. 20.-In-
formation received here indicates
that the campaign of Senator Bur-
rows for reelection is being sub
jected to minute scrutiny by the co1,-
servative Republican powers of
Michigan for the undoubted pur-'
pose of making a quick switch to an
other candidate in case Burrows is
found to have little or no chance te

The high protection sentiment 70 ,
the state has no fault to find with
Burrows. He has been good, so far
as the high protectionists are con-
cerned. The sole question with
them is, can he be reelected? The
information is that the regular Or
ganization fears for him, and there
fore is only waiting to make certain
that it's fears are well grounded TO

have a better show. in the fight.

1t is announced unofficialfy that after
February 18th all mail matter depos-
tied in rural letter box for collection by
carriers must be stamped The placing
of money in the boxes with the letters
or other outgoing mail will not be per-
mitted. The picking out of pennies
and other small coins from the boxes
delays the work of the carriers, especi-
ally in the winter months, and to avoid
this and give more prompt service pa
irons will be requested to fully stamp
all mail before placing it in boxes.
The carriers will be pleased with the
order. II is stated that in the past
year carriers have taken over three
hundred million pennies from the
boxes.
Since the above was put in type Off
cial notice has been received at the To-
cal post Office which slightly alters the
statement. The order is to the effect
that carriers will not be required to
collect loose coins from rural boxes.

The beet sugar industry in Michs-
gan is expanding, notwithstanding NO
new factories have been built in re-
cent years. The growers are turning
more extensively to beet culture. The
acreage is steadily increasing and the
output indicates that better success
is attending the cultivation OF the
beet. Through careful and scientific
methods sweeter beets and more 90
the acre are being grown. The sec
ond fact which impresses itself iss
that the beet sugar industry is good
and increasingly better thing for the
state, regardless of its relations with
the sugar trust, which have been made
the subject of much discussion in re-
cent years.-Saginaw News.

Shortage on Coal.

Local coal men are finding it difficult
to get enough hard coal to meet the de-
mand. Practically every dealer in the
city is experiencing the same difficulty.
The shortage is mostly due to delayed
shipments. Unless it is relieved, how
ever, it will cause considerable incon.
venience to say the least.

More Jurors to bo Drawn.

Judge Miner has decided to have
twenty eight jurors drawn for each
term of the circuit court hereafter as so
many desire to be excused and furnish
good reason therefor. Formerly thirty
were drawn, but Judge Miner thought
the expense of that many was unneces-
sary, but now considers that twenty.
eight are needed.

Charles City, Qa.) Press:-The yell
low magazines have got busy against
Taft and his administration, but this
needs to alarm no one. Every presi-
dent from Washington down has had
the same experience and yet the nation
lives and is prosperous. It is easy to
denounce public men and charge them
with being unpatriotic and identified
with the trusts and Wall street, ETC.,
but it is another thing to prove it. OF
course these magazines only deal in
assertions and expect the people TO be-
lieve their unsupported statements.

BIG EXHIBIT
OF Grain and Farm Products From
Canadian Northwest

An immense exhibit of grain and
farm products from the big Canadian
northwest is to be seen at Kinne's real
estate office. 1t is worth viewing too,
for the wheat, rye and oats in the dis
play are as fine as one could wish to
see.
The hardy, sturdy growth of wheat
in that big country is amply illustrated
in the handsome sheaths of wheat in
cluded in the display. The stalks are
often over four feet in length, and top
ped with an immense head rounded
out with good full wheat kernels. Other
interesting articles include potatoes,
squash of several varieties and minor
farm products. This particular exhibit
was obtained from the big farm Mr..
Kinne has near Alberta.
