lifa's Mirror,

There are loyal hearts, there are spirits
brave,
There are souls that are pure and true;
Then give to the world The best you have,
And the best will come back to you.
Give love and owe to your heart will flow,
A strength in your utmost need.
Have faith and a score Of hearts will show
Their faith in your word and deed.
For life is the mirror Of king and slave.
IT'S just what you are and do.
Then give to the world the best you have,
n the best will come back to you.

HOUSE REPEALS LAW
PUNISHING CARELESS NIMRODS
People To Vote On Amendment Te
Provision For Primary School
Funds.
From a Staff correspondent.)


LANSING. Mich, Jan. 31.-ThA
house got down to work last night
and passed its first bill, one introdnc-
ed by Rep. Amerson, to repeal the
law furnishing the negligent or care
less shooting Of a human being by
persons in pursuit of game.
The law was passed in 1908, but
has been Intellectual. Rep. Martz of
Detroit, was one Of three to oppose
the repeal,
The house passed several concur
rent resolutions, the most important
of which was one introduced by Rep
McNaughton, to submit a constituti'
onal amendment changing the provis.
ions as to primary school money. The
amendment would prevent the &C.
emulation of money by districts be-
yond the needs Of the ensuing two
years.
Fep. Giles of Muskegon, introduced
an amendment to the improved high
way law, which will probably solve
the problem of improving Grand Riv-
crave. Detroit, on the half-mile
stretch which runs on the city line.
The amendment will permit the coup-
ty highway commissioners to extend
their improvements into cities where
asked to do so by the common coun-
ellis. The bill was asked for by the
highway commissioners Of Muskegon
county.
Another bill of interest in Wayne
county was introduced by Rep. Ari K.
Woodruff, to legalize the recent issue
OF sewer bonds in Wyandotte. An
issue of $65,O00 was voted by the peo-
pie last fall, but the action is invali.

TAFT PLEADS FOR
RECIPROCITY PLAN
Quotes McKinley's Last Speech At
Buffalo As Strong Argument in
Favor Of It.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.--The last
public utterances or President Nc.
Kinley, in favor OF reciprocity, made
the day before he was assassinated at
Buffalo, was recalled last night by
President Taft in an address at the
Ohio society's anniversary banquet In
commemoration of the Mckinley
birthday.
Many men associated with McKin.
ley in public Office and prominent
ohionas were present. Justice Day.
former Vice-President Fairbanks, and
Senator Dick, OF Ohio, were among
the speakers.
Mr.. Taft eulogized the martyred
president and paid tribute to his at
titude on the commercial expansion
of the country with particular refer.
ence to the declarations In favor of
reciprocity generally made by Nc
Kinley at the Pan-American exposi-
ton at Buffalo.
The broadening effect of the ma
tional responsibility Mckinley had
had to carry" said Mr.. Taft, Shows
!tself in no respect more conspicu-
ously than In this change OF view on
his part In respect of q policy Of which
he had always been the chief ex-
ponent.
May we not hope that the change
that he advocated may soon find ex-
preston in our national policy to-
ward our good neighbor on the north
who has come half way to meet us?
May the fragrance OF his beloved
memory lead those upon whom Is the
responsibility, and incline their minds
and hearts to this end.
THE Canadian agreement, II con
firmed by legislative action, will be
fitting close to century's contro-
versies and permanently establish
good feeling and commercial union
between kindred peoples. We shall
find a rapid yincreasing market for
our numerous products among the
people of our neighbor We shall
deepen and widen the sources Of our
food supply in territory close at hand.
Our kinship, our common sympa'
thies, our similar moral and social
ideas furnish the strongest reason
for supporting this agreement.
Canada Is our neighbor for three
thousand miles. We have not always
acted toward her in manner most
conciliatory or with due regard to
her sensibllitles. She has become a
great country-indeed, nation. She
causes us to use no forts or battle
ships. She does not attack us and
never will. She extends the brother
" hand OF friendship and proposes
closer relations ~.sh mutual dement's
Ought we to decline? The last words
of Mckinley urge acceptance.
81 am proud as a son OF Ohio to
bring forward for approval an effec'
tive action. a measure carrying out
the policy which he proclaimed and
made his own at the acme OF his
great career"
