suits of this campaign upon both races
throughout this State cannot but be high.
ly beneficial and DR.. Waaeington and bis
party amply merit the courteous receipt
ions everywhere extended them. The
highest officials in the State, Mayors,
Judges, CounciImsn, and the leading citiz-
ems Of every speaking place, came to hear
and honor the great man who had done
so much for his own race and for the
whole South.
His address in cur town was filed with
wisdom, spoken in the plain homely
fashion that befitted the character Of
many Of those who heard him, and en-.
Iivened with many . bit of humor which
il sometimes little pungent was none
the less true and wholesome.
He appealed to the colored people to
learn habits of thrift and order; to give
faithful service to theiremployers; to settle
down and make homes for themselves,
get bank accounts, keep their homes and
persons clean, and in every way, not
only to strive after and deserve the re-
pect and confidence Of the white race,
among whom undertook g providence they
are lappointed to spend their days, but
by bard effort to try and make them
selves so useful and necessary to their
employers that they could not do without
them.
The speaker told them they must to-day
do better work on the farms and in the
kitchen than they once did-or their
jobs would be taken by foreigners who
could give a superior service.
Mr.. Washington said many very plain,
sharp things to his audience that they
might heed. He keenIy rebuked the
loaIing. crap-shooting, rum drinking
fellows who bring 30 much discredit on
their race, and satirized the dude idler
with the S. bat on his so cent head.
1t vas . noble address witty, wise and
wholesome and was listened to with great
attention by an audience of over 500
people.
The speaking was preceded by some
fine singing by the colored people of
few old eongs of the days of slavery, q
Major Moulton one of the party with
DIR. Washington giving the lines and
leading in the singing.

ANYBODY CAN DO 1T
Easy} Trick to Make a News
paper and Everybody Knows
How but the Editor.

Men who make newspapers some
times believe that their profession is
an exacting one. They are wrong.
1t is The simplest calling. Making a
newspaper is an easy trick. Anybody
can do 1t.
A lawyer with only diploma and
a brass sign, who would lose suit
even IL the other side was ready to
confess judgment. will tell you how to
run a newspaper. A physician who
would send his patient TO the mOrgue
before the prescription has been tilled
will know all the fine points of maxi
log newspaper. An actor who nev.
er earned any other plaudit than a
soft tomato will give instructions Ia
handling the worlds news. Anv old
womao who knows enough to get of a
street q ar backward has positive opin-
ions 6h Nhe press. Even society per-
son who never paid anything but a
call or made anything but visit, did
ANYTHING but tailor, knows how
stupid those men are who write
"stories. (" edit copy" with "heads"
that won't fit, and get the paper out
on time.
One reason for the universality OF
perfection la this trade, among those
who do not work at 1t, is that every
body has been employed at IL. 1t Is a
most unusual thing to meet a man
who. when the occasion seems ripe,
will not say, Il used TO be a news

When Barriers Rise.
WARRBS w. LAMPoRT

A little streamlet sped along
With rippling rush and song,
Seeking the sea that lies
Far off beneath the sunny skies.
An me! 1t little knew
What wonders 1t could do,
Nor seemed TO care for anything
But just to dance along and sing.
But when across its narrow way
A barrier rose one day
It's joyous song was hushed.
From side to side it wildly rushed
With maddened dash and roar
Seeking its way once more.
Yet felt within rising power
1t had not known until that hour.
1t felt a stronger, growing will;
It's banks began to ill;
Its waters deeper grow
Upon the barricade below;
Till, like giant tall,
1t Oserleaped its wall
And dashing with reSiStleSS force
Swept on again upon It's course.
1t caught the waiting wheels below;
The mills began to go;
New industries to rise
Like magic on the wondering eyes.
Glad, happy homes were found
Where plenty smiled around;
And OF the streamlet's helpful part
Men kindly spoke, with thankful
heart.
AS once again 1t sought the sea
1t seemed TO sing song to me:
Courage, D man! when barriers rise
Between thee and the skies,
BE thou the master STILL
Make them the servants of thy will
TO fit thee for the hour
When with augmented power,
Thou shalt push on resisLlessly
To fill n0bler destiny.

Will Not Sign
PomQna Grange Opposed to Re-
Submission of Local Option
Question.

The ideal Spring weather prevailing
April 81, brought with 1t such rush
OF farm work that many patrons were
prevented from attending one OF the
most enthusiastic Pomona meetings
ever held In our County. The, attend
ance however was good, eight oranges
being represented. The LECTURER s
prog. A proved in all its parts, a very
strong feature OF the session, some of
the discussions reaching very high
and inspiring plane of thought. This
was particularly true where the dis
cussion related to improvement Of the
home, the school and the Grange.
These topics were handled by Worthy
Master Mears, E.S. Stacks, John Jones,
Mrs. E.J. Creyts, and Others in most
thorough aud earnest manner. In the
evening. State Speaker, Mrs. e. J..
Creyts, of Lansing, delivered most
excellent address on ''Opportunitv".
Permanent Committees for the present
term were appointed as follows:- Fi-
nance, II. &. Barber, John Jones and
E. S. Brintnall: Fifth Degree Member
ship, Miss Minnie McGeorge, Mrs.
Mary L. Poquette and Miss Ursula
Crawford; Bylaws, Lozell Heaton,
Peter Knudsen and Fl. L. Wilson.
The Fifth Degree was conferred on
seven applicants, Bro. Glenn Dubois
ably presiding as Worthy Master dur
ing the initiatory work. 1t was decid-
cd to make an agricultural exhibit at
next annual session of Michigan State
Grange, and all patrons in the county
are urged to unite in making this exhi-
bit an unrivalled success. Owing to
lack Of time action on report of special
committees on Bylaws was deferred
until next meeting. A careful in
vestigation of the reports Of thirteen
oranges disclosed the fact that Deer
Lake Grange was again in the lead
with score Of 80 points and that
Irouton WAS again close second with
a sc'ee1of 26O. Deer Lake Grange was
acco.Yngly declared the Banner
Grange of the county for the End
quarter.
By unanimous vote, the grange ex-
pressed satisfaction with present con-
ditions existing under Local Option,
as compared with previous conditions,
and adop'ed a resolution urging all
friends OF Local Option, not to sign
any petition for re-submission Of the
question, to be submitted to the super
ysOrs at their annual session in Oct
ober; expressing the belief that by so
refusing they can save large expense
to taxpayers and others, in money and
time, and that longer time than two
years Is needed to make a complete
and satisfactory test of Local Option.
The hospitality and entertainment
extended TO the visiting oranges by
the local grange was highly commend
able. The next meeting will be held
with Ironton Grange, June %.

SUGGESTIONS TO
LAND SEEKERS
Fruit Growing, Potato Raising
and Seed Raising Important.

Western Michigan is a region that
offers exceptional opportunities for
fruit growing, potato raising and the
production OF high grade seeds. These
industries, together with the minor
ones that naturally 60 with them, are
the industries that are causing West
ern Michigan's extractOrs of soil
wealth TO get ahead In matters mate
rial AS we'll as in all that makes for
comfortable living. all land Is not
equally we'll adapted for all Of the
three principal soil industries of the
region; in fact, each plot may be used
a little more protitably for some one Of
the three than for either Of the other
two. The lay Of land, the proxim-
ity Of large bodies Of water, the soil
moisture. and the chemical compost
tiOn OF the soil are factors that should
be duly considered when deciding to
which one OF the leading industries a
given plot Of land shall be devoted.
Investigate Before Buying
All persons whU may contemplate
ali Investment In Western Michigan
lands are urged TO be sure that they
purchase such as are suited for the
industry in which they desire to spe-
cialize. If il is fruit raising that ap-
peals 10 them, it is their bounded duty
TO he sure that they get fruit lands; If
potato raising, then they should choose
lands suited for general farming, for
rotation OF crops Is an essential In Sc
curing profits from tubers; and if they
desire to raise seeds, it is important
that they buy lands within the Operat-
ing radius OF some of the seed stations.
Marketing and shipping facilities
should also be given due weight 10 To-
eating farm. This is especially true
when perishable fruits are to be- the
crop harvested, otherwise there will
be disappo!ntments instead of profits.
The character of the roads from the
proposed orchards and fields to the
loading stations are also factors In OBJ
tanning favorable results. If the naul
is too long or the roads too heavy, the
transportation expenses will absorb
the hOped-for net gains. Probably
three-fourths OF Western Michigan
can be protitably devoted to general
farming as now carried on. With the
adoption of more of the scientific
method Of fertilization and cutiva-
tion, it is more than likely that the
entire region can he made to produce
wealth on basis that is commercially
attractive.
Large Area of Fruit Lands
In round figures, twO-thirds OF the
region is well adapted to fruit grow
ing as now practiced. These fruit
lands are the choice spots OF the terri
tory, the places where the lay Of the
land, prevailing winds. opportunities
for air drainage. and the chemical
composition of the soil, unite to pro-
duce results that are exceptional.
There are areas in the region which
probably cannot be prontably devoted
to fruit raising, az it is now known.
and while these lands are cheaper
than the recognized fruit lands, and
are in most cases suitable for general
farming, their value to those who have
horticultural ambitions is still doubt
ful. Such persons must be willing to
pay trifle higher price per acre for
orchard lands, aud they should see to
IL that they get that which they are
seeking.

SPECIAL OFFICER
AIDS IN HOLDUP
John McSherry Involved With
Saloon Keepers in Robbery
of Fruit Dealer
Victim Declares He Was Forced
to Give Up Money and Note
at Point of Gun

Patrick and jeremiah Farley, saloon
keepers at Nineteenth and Howard
streets. and Special officer John Nc
Sherry were booked at the city prison
yesterday on a charge of robbery on
complaint of John Dariots, proprietor
of a fruit store and grocery at 749
Rhode Island street. They were ar
rested by Detectives Gallagher and
Burke
According TO Dariotis' statement to
the police McSherry came to his store
Friday morning and accused him of
stealing sealskin sacque from woman
Dariotis denied the charge. McSherry
compelled Dariotis to go with him to
the Farley Brothers saloon, where Nc
Sherry pointed a revolver at him and
while one of the Farley brothers held
him the other went through his pockets,
taking $3.50, all the money he had.
They accused him of owing bill of
$25 for liquor and forced him to give
an evidence of Indebtedness for $16.20,
the balance due.
Jeremiah Farley admitted to the po-
lice that $3.50 had been taken from
Dariotis and that the latter had given
an order for S16.20. He declared he and
his associates were justified in doing
what they had done, as they could not
ouldl1 the go lnat DarlOtlS owed Cnem.
Dariotis denied that he owed the
saloonmen a cent.

ley brothers will be cited to appear
before the police commission to show
cause why their license should not be
revoked. charge will also be made
against McSherry. He offered the ex-
cuse that he had evidence against Dari-
otis of selling liquor without a license
and said Dariotis offered him SIS not
to prosecute him. Some weeks ago
McSherry arrested a man named Car
ter, who was his predecessor as spe-
cial officer, a charge of vagrancy
and the case was promptly dismissed
