understood what these policies are.
But definite and practical legislation
to make these policies effective has
been INSTRUCTED and delayed by the
evils above mentioned.
suggest for consideration as a
possible remedy for these evils that
the right and duty to directly initiate
and oppose legislation be given to the
president, to be exercised in the. con-
gress in person or through the mem
bers of his cabinet: not, however, to
the exclusion OF any of the existing
rights and duties Of the senators and
representatives in that respect.
/ think this would tend to diminish
the quantity of proposed legislation
and improve its quality
The executive could thus directly
and openly introduce and enforce ac-
ton by congress upon measures de-
signed to fulfill party pledges. The
People would thus be better informed
as to the nature and merits of pro-
posed measures; and know where to
place the blame for Objectionable
laws or the failure to enact proper
legislation.
I believe in the principles of the re-
publican party and its policies as an
nounced in it's last national platform.
! admire the courage and states
manship displayed by President Taft;
and believe that the policies and
measures hitherto advocated by him
should have the cordial and undivided
support Of all republicans.

more fully and specifically present to
the voters my views on public ques-
tions. Yours respectfully.

RUSH TO MINI.
HARD COAL FIELDS

Minneapolis, May 14.-Like a gold
rush of the Old days is the way in
which I. j. Skepet of this city charac-
terizes the excitement which is on in
Todd county over the discovery of an
thracite and the belief that IL will show
In quantities large enough to make frs
mining feasible for supplying the state
with hard coal
Mr.. Skellet asserts that people have
nocked TO Lincoln and Broweryille in
such numbers that farmers have turned
their houses and stables into hotels
ana are charging big prices for accom-
modations. Duluth Is sending the larg-
est contingent of spectators to the
field and they take with them money
to buy up the farms, offers of 5000 an
acre being readily made for whole
farms for miles in every direction.
Big Vein Tapped.
1t is claimed that three holes have
been drilled, ninety feet deep and a
mile apart, and the same vein has been
struck in each place. This would indi-
cate that there is plenty of coal, what
ever Its quality, which can only be
told by mining quantity large enough
to give an actual test. 1t is said to lie
next to a slate formation, similar to
that in Pennsylvania. 1t is not dull
when taken out, like Colorado coal,
but shiny and resembles Pennsylvania
anthracite.
Mr.. Skellet, who is a coal dealer and
claims to know all kinCs Of CONNER
cial coal, is quite excited over the
prospects and processes to believe that
If the quantity is there the coal find
may exceed in Importance to Mime
sofa even the immense iron mining in
dustry.
b Samples are now being tested at the
University of Minnesota and other
samples have been sent to Pennsyl-
vania for comparison there by experts.

the race problem. He criticised Book
er 7. Washington and told his hearers
that what the negro needs is some one
to teach him not to work. In part ne
said: Tt may be long way in the
future, but inter-marriage between the
races will finally settle all difficulties
as 1T has in the case of the Irish and
Germans and other peoples who for
mer had to be kept apart in order to
preserve the peace.
1T is not the color which causes
the distinction between the negroes
and the white people. The real bar
rier is the fact that negroes were once
slaves and that today they are in the
ranks of labor. 1t is a labor question
rather than a race problem and the
way for the negro to obtain recogni-
tion is to cast his lot bodily with the
poor and fight with them and for them.

FoR U. 8. SENATE.

am candidate for the position
of United States senator. subject to
approval of the republican voters of
the state at the next primary election.
am a firm believer in party or
ganization as the most efficient means
of securing wise legislation and good
government. In order that the party
shall serve that end, however, 1t is
essential that no person or faction be
permitted to convert the party or
ganization into machine" for the
furtherance of selfigh interests.
The senators and representa- Ives in
congress are chargeable in a large
measure with the responsibility of
shaping and effectuating the policies
of the party to which they belong, and
/ conceive 1t to be one Of their high
est duties unselfishly to exert their
influence to the utmost in and out of
congress so as to maintain the in
tegrity and purity Of their party as an
tional progress.
One Of the defects in our system OF
government is the absence or any
definite and responsible leadership in
legislation; and the consequent in
&DlllLy OL the SeHeTdL DOuy or voters
to know definitely whom to hold re-
gponsibIe for legislation or the lack
of it.
This absence of definite individual
responsibility aids the corrupt legIs-
lator to conceal his nefarious work;
and 1t also affords the demagogue the
opportunity to misrepresent and dis
parage the efforts and motives of
good men, and to confuse and mislead
the people with his false and superb
cial appeals to popular passion and
prejudice.
TO the same cause is largely due the
ever increasing mass of inharmoniuos
and poorly constructed legislation,
which makes the execution OF the
laws and the administration OF JUS
tice altogether too slow and uncer-
tain.
These evils are, I believe. the great
est obstacles in the way OF effective
and progressive legislation at the
present time. Public opinion is well
nigh unanimously in favor Of the
Roosevelt TAFT policies. and it Is well

Periodical proposals for the abolish
ment of Central park, the city's finest
breathing spot and playground, have
become so common of late years that
not great deal of attention is paid to
them. While the value of the great
park has never been definitely figured
out, the fact that it runs into the hun
dreds Of millions of dollars has led
to various mercenary proposals look
ing to its disposal by the city in the
shape of building lots and the like.
This spring, however, suggestions have
taken another turn, and Park Commits
sioner Slower has been besieged by
applicants who are anxious to turn
the park into a greater Coney Island,
I'LL 1T with shows and charge admission
to 1t. Fortunately for the public there
Is no likelihood of any such schemes
being considered. In their variety
and novelty, however, they present
many interesting features. One of the
earliest applicants this spring pro
posed to pull off real railroad wreck
daily. He planned to construct a mile
OF track, puchase old locomotives and
cars and run them together in head
"a ~OfiAoiOI, AOL Inc uSleCLdLlOn or a
large and remunerative crowd. Equal
ly 1genfous is the proposal to utilize
great Croton reservoir in the park for
naval battles, at which ships filed
with dynamite would be blown up ev-
cry day. But in spite of the novelty
of such suggestions, New York is not
likely to see railroad wrecks or mar
inc disasters in the park even though
the originators ofthe schemes would
willingly pay tremendous prices for
the privilege. The only attractions of
the kind at present are the swan boats
and the goat carts and they seem GER
tain to continue their unmolested
monopoly.

come to this harbor in a great many
years, for she bears the distinction of
being the oldest ship in the United
States. 1t is a few months over los

name of the venerable visitor, was
built, and in spite of her century of
service she is still in business today.

Built for peaceful service she never
theless at the tender age of seven took
a prominent part in the war of 1912.
AS privateer under command of Cap
tain Juduthan Upton she engaged in
battle with ships twice her size and
captured no less than eleven rich
prizes. After that war the Polly re-
turned to coastwise trade going along
without much notice for thirty-ffve
years. In 1849 and the succeeding
years the little sixty footer rounded
Cape Horn six times and made two
complete trips around the world. Later
she returned to coastwise trade in New
England waters and her visit to New
York is simply in line with her pres
ent service. The Polly has had dozens
Of owners in her los years but all have
treated her with the greatest regard.
While little of the original vessel re-
mains, as the result of repairs, she is
still the original Polly, unique in the
field of American shipping.

RENEW HUNT FOR LOST MAN
Party of Seven Start Search for Robert
Beilby. Who Disappeared Last
Fall in Northern Mich.

A party of hunters left Benton Harbor
the first of the week for northern Mich
igan to search the upper peninsula for
the body of Robert Beilby. 1t will be
remembered that Beilby was the deer
hunter who left his camp November 16
and never returned. Whether he was
attacked by wolves, shot by another
hunter who hid the body and escaped or
whether he lost his way and died strug.
Cling towards camp is mystery which
remains unsolved. Large rewards and
weeks OF searching by large parties
failed to get any trace of the missing
man.
Will Beilby, son of the missing man,
heads the present expedition, which was
organized to satisfy the appeals Of Mr. s
Beilby, wife OF the unfortunate hunter.
Beilby has several relatives in the viii
lage of Lawrence.

ADDRESSED LARGE
AUDIENCE SUNDAY
Opera House Crowded to
Hear H. M. Olney and
l.. III. Titus.
TITUS ANSWERED Mr.. TOWNE
Showed Fallacy of 'Wet" Arguments.
Olney's Remarks on Politics iii Ad-
vised and in Bad Taste.

The local option meeting at the opera
house last Sunday evening was addressed
by Ii. NJ. Olney of Hartford and Attor-
ney l.. II. Titus of this place, as had
been previously advertised. There was
good crowd out, the opera house being
crowded, and considerable enthusiasm
was shown.
II. M. Olney was the first speaker.
His remarks along the lines of local op-
ton were splendid arguments for the re-
tention of the present law. One strong
point that he made was that 1--WE should
never do anything that we will be sorry
for afterwards" If we should vote
"Yes" next Monday, there can be no
reason to feel sorry for our action. He
advised the local option forces to be
vigilant and work from now until time
for the polls to close next Monday. Get
out the vote by all means.
Mr.. Oney's reference, however, to
matters political at local option meet
ing on Sunday evening were, to say
the least in the opinion of all who
heard it, i'll advised and entirely out
of place and lessened in no small degree
the force of his previous remarks. His
intimate friends are wondering what
could have been his object and why be
did it. Later developments show that
MIR. Olney was mistaken in his charges.
The True Northeruer will make editorial
comment on the matter in later issue.
Attorney l.. IL. Titus was the last
speaker, and it was the opinion of his
listeners that it was one OF the best
speeches ever made by him. He devoted
some time to answering the speech of
the gifted orator, Chas. A. Towne, who
spoke here for the liquor forces last
Thursday evening. He showed the utter
fallacy of Townes arguments and how
be had skillfully lodged the only issue
in this campaign, to-wit: SALOONS or no
saloons in Van Buren, county" We
regret our inability to give the entire
text of Mr.. Titus remarks, as they were
worthy OF publication.

WILL START WORK
ON ELECTRIC LINE
In Near Future. So Says Engineer
S. Il. Downer in Letter to
Attorney l.. III. Titus.

Reports from S. b. Downer, chief en-
gineer of the Chicago, Michigan ana
Indiana Electric Railway Co., would in
dicate that operations will soon com
mence on the line to be built from Ben
ton Harbor to Kalamazoo via Decatur.
In recent letter to Attorney l.. Ii.
Titus, Mr.. Downer states in part as fol-
lows:
Il expected to be in Paw Paw today,
March %, but other things came up
that have delay ed me. We have our
men out contracting for the right of way
for the first section of Ii miles As soon
as we get that secured, we will put the
engineers in the field Then | am going
to set another crew at work between
Paw Paw and Kalamazoo. Within a
very short time | expect to be in full
operation Oh both ends Of the line. >"
This sounds good to Paw Paw people,
and it seems to be the universal opinion
that Paw Paw will get at least one elec-
trio line IN the near future.

BUSINESS MEN DO
NOT WANT SALOONS
Have Said They Favor Retention
of Local Option Law.

Whereas, the local option law has been
operative in Van Buren, county for
period of 20 consecutive years, and
Whereas, those J ears haze been the
most prosperous years ever enjoyed by
our people, and
Whereas, we, the undersigned, busi
ness men and citizens of the of
---------in said county, have had full
opportunity to observe the effect of the
present law upon the welfare of this
community and upon business affairs in
general;
Therefore, we earnestly favor a con-
tinuation Of the present system and
should consider a return to the era of
the open saloon as nothing short of a
public calamity viewed either from a
business standpoint or as a question of
good morals.
We, therefore, urge the voters of our
county to 60 to the polls on the 4th day
of April next and vote YES on the ques.
ton of prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors in Van Buren
county.
Hundreds of business men from the
different localities in this county-62 of
them of the village of Paw Paw-have
signed the above statement. Nan es on
file with Messrs Rowland and Mosier,
managers of local option campaign.
