Two Detroiters Thrown From Hose

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. ia fierce

guished $4,000 worth of property was
destroyed Just what caused the fire
Is at present unknown, but according
to the theory of one of the employees
a load of coke was dumped In the
screen before all the fire was out of
it. This set fire to the elevator which
was entirely destroyed, and which, in
falling, crushed through the roof Of
the engine room, destroying some Of
the machinery.
On the way to the fire one of the
hose carts turned a corner too short
and ran upon the curb, throwing off
George Isbell and Herb Buckholz, of
Detroit, who were lending their assist
ance to the firemen. Buckholz suffered
a sprained ankle and Isbell received
such a severe shaking up that he had
to be taken home.

LA TOILETTE RSUS
ROOSEV ELT.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
an able journal with an exceptionally
clear vision, sees an irrepressible con-
fiict between Senator La Toilette and
Colonel Roosevelt for leadership for the
Progressive Republican party. Among
other keen observation on this point the
Republican says:
THE failure of Mr.. Roosevelt to write
any of his new nationalism into the New
York republican platform is causing
wide spread comment. 1t is likely to
arouse more comment when comparison
is made between that platform and the
one adopted by the Wisconsin republi-
cans. There are somes sharp contrasts
to be observed. The Roosevelt platform
in New York praises President Taft
highly and commends the new tariff
law in the conditional way in which the
president alone commends it. But the
Wisconsin platform parts company with
Mr.. Roosevelt at all these points. 1t
denounces the new tariff as a noncom-
ploHCO WIFI VIC pdA NY p1CuSc.
THE Wisconsin platform, while re-
jecting the Taft leadership, fails to sub
stitute the Roosevelt leadership. In
deed, it presents new national leader
ship for the progressive republican
party and inferentially rejects any
claims which Roosevelt may have to
such leadership"
The Milwaukee Journal, an active,
belligerent campaigner for Senator La
Toilette, joins Senator Cummins's Des
Moines organ in making bitter refec-
tions. The Journals article is reprint
ed in another column, in view of its
significance as sustaining the opinion
already held in some quarters that the
Wisconsin senator, the pioneer insur-
gent" intends to contend with Mr..
Roosevelt for the national progressive
leadership in the republican party"

Mrs. George Clark.

. Again death has entered our com
munity and taken away highly re-
spected resident in the person of Mrs.
George Clark.
Her maiden name was Mary Ann
Kinsley. She was born in Canada.
June 4, 1841, and passed peacefully
away at her home, Oct. 3, 1910 at
Rewey.
Mary Ann Kinsley was married to
Geo. Clark in Canada, emmigrating to
Wisconsin at an early date, enduring
the hardships of pioneer life; but
through thrift, industry and economy
accumulated a competency. For many
years they lived ON farm just east of
Miff1in. From the farm they moved to
Rewey in the spring of 1897, where
they afterwards resided.
Her husband died July 8, 1909, of that
dread disease cancer. Nov. 8, 1905,
Mrs. Clara was stricken with paralysis
from which she recovered sufficiently to
enjoy her family and friends, but was
never able to take the active part she
had always done so nobly in her sphere
of life. About three years ago she had
another slight seizure from which she
apparently recovered. On Sept %,
1910, she was stricken with a third at
tack which proved to be the final sum-
mons to her eternal home.
Some years ago Sister Clark united
with the Rewey P. M. church and as
long as she was able was one of it's
most faithful workers, and to the last
was most deeply interested in it's pros
perity often expressing the wish that
she could help as in the past.
She had beautiful disposition, 50
kind and considerate of others welfare.
She was the mother of twelve children
eight of whom survive: Thomas, on the
old farm; John of Rewey; Mrs. Matt
Goninen, Mrs. John Hird, Redlands.
CAL; Mrs. Burt Holmes, Miffiin; Mrs.
Lee Emmel, New Port, N. OAK; and
Sarah and Mary at home.
The services were held in the 2. M.
church at 1 80 p. m. Wednesday, Oct.
5, 1910, by Rev S. Scores and Elder
Bowden. The choir rendered appropri-
ate music for the solemn occasion and
a very large crowd was present to show
their sympathy to the family.
CARD OF THANKS.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to
the kind friends for their sympathy
and kindness in our sore bereavement.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

To cite the fact that general condi-
tions are better in these United States
than they are in any other nation is by
many deemed an all sufficient reason
for opposing all proposed changes in
methods political, economic, education
al, or otherwise. But it is a very poor
argument. In advocating vocational
education Prof. j. G. Monaghan says:
Because we have grown rich, it is
assumed that all is well. Some are
silly enough to say that our system of
education, measured by our material
success has beaten all others. This is
confusion worse COMPOUNDED. 1t is ig-
norance pure, simple and culpable.
Our remarkable resources are response
BILE for large, very large part of our
riches. Men sometimes say: 1--WE are
far ahead of other industrial schools,
