The most essential characteristic of
a master is his power to inspire love.
He is to hand his disciple not a book

highest degree we find in such great
souls as Jesus, Buddha and Socrates.

A CONSPICUOUS WOMAN
AT NATIONAL CAPITAL

The American Magazine contains an
interesting sketch of Mabel T. Board
who is a great social leader in
Washington and has a strong political
influence. Part of the sketch about
Miss Boardman is as follows:
Miss Boardman Is the most con-
spicuous woman at the national cap
ital today, for she occupies an i'm
portant position in several fields. Her
parents, the W. j. Boardmans, Of Cleve-
land, have been in Washington long
enough to take a place among the most
exclusive Of the Cave-dwellers-as they
call the old inhabitants who scorn the
recent arrivals of officialdom-and
their fin home off Dupont circle has
long been a social center for what is
really the best in Washington society.
Their daughter has made a place for
herself in this select circle. =
Then she is a close friend Of the
presidents family. She went with the
famous Taft party to the Philippines
and SO acquired a more han ordinary
acquaintance with members of con-
gress. The members of the party, head
ed by the president, called on her one
night last spring and gave her a watch
in memory Of the journey to the far
east; which shows her standing in
thai part of Washington society known
as the official set. It isn't an every
day affair for the president and lead
ing senators and representatives to
call and leave a watch at somebody's
house.
Besides. Miss Boardman is q mem.

To chat from over the clouds is the

cross between wireless and the aero

Harry a. Gross of Lawrence,
republican candidate for county
clerk, is making a splendid race
for the office to which he aspires.
He is Lawrence young man and
has the loyal support of his own
township and large and favor
able acquaintance in Van Buren,
county. He is man of good ed
ucation, quiet and unassuming in
his manner, good penman and
accountant, accurate and pains
taking in his work. He is well
qualified for the Office to which he
aspires. and, if nominated and
elected, The True Northerner
feels that he will make record
for efficiency in the Office of coun-
ty clerk, equal to any of the ex
cellent clerks who have held that
position 10 the past. That the
important details of the county
will be well cared for and the in
terests of the people of the coun
ty protected.
Two years ago, Mr. Cross was
candidate for the office he now
seeks. He made a splendid i'm
preston upon the voters of the
county at that time, and was sec
ond in the race. He now feels,
as do many of his loyal friends
throughout the county, that if
there is any such thing as polit-
ical preference, he is entitled to
it at this time. He is popular
with all with whom he comes in
contact, clean, of good character,
and in every way qualified for the
important Office to which he as
pires. The loyal assurances of
support coming to Mr.. Cross
from all sections of the county,
are pleasing to the candidate as
we'll as to his friends, and The
True Northerner bespeaks for
his candidacy favorable consid-

words: Gee! Did | say that?'
This explains Congressman
Townsend's position He is fav.

This is a factor in the senate
rial race that is Of importance to
the voters of Michigan, and
should be weighed carefully be-
fore the vote is cast.
Senator Burrows has always
been consistent on all the great
problems, and time has demon.
strated that his position has been
correct The people of the state
Of Michigan have always known
where to find him, >and he has
been true to his trust. This Is

should be returned to the senate.

Paper after paper has scored
him for his vituperative remarks,
several have commented upon
the profanity which he uses
freely and each day brings forth
new developments which prove
most conclusively that the
people of this state have recog
nized the difference between the
man who dared to 90 on in the
