The Prohibition party has honored
members Of the party in this county
with the nomination on the state ticket
for the spring election, viz, Seth B.
Terry of Durand, for justice of the su-
preme court, and J. G. Curtis of Yer
non, for member of the, state board of

to the proposed shifting of Shiawassee

plan was stricken from the bill in the
senate. Genesee county lawyers were
the prime movers.
The general excellence The Amer
lean Magazine is what appeals to the
reader. Experts in the business say
that no periodical now published is at
tracing more attention, or winning
more enthusiastic approval, than The
American Magazine. It is publica-
ton which exhibits unusual energy,
liveliness, candor, courage, and humor.
No one who reads it can ever forget its
distinctive qualities. 1t is as much of
a character" as exists anywhere-and
most intelligent and delightful "char.
acter" too. q
A remarkable characteristic of The
American Magazine is the quality of
its fiction, plus the story quality that
is to be found in many of it's articles.
BY this is meant the fact that this par
ticular periodical requires that many of
its most important articles he told in
story form. In this manner the pages
Of the whole magazine fairly TEEN with
downright human interest. The facts
are gathered and presented with the
most scrupulous attention to truth, but
in the presentation the art of story tell
ing is summoned, and the result is the
finest quality of journalism that exists
that which both informs exactly and
entertains wonderfully. Not many
journalists OF this rare double ability
are strolling up and down the world,
yet several of them are in the exclusive
employ of The American Magazine.
Three great original departments
have been created by The American
Observation-Disclosures People," 1.-THE

derful fiction story, or beautiful pic

est you more than these departments.
And yet those famous departments form
q great attraction in the periodical.
They are always there-filled to the
brim with ideas, emotions, and sspira-
lions. There is curious flavor in them

FoRDNEY OPPOSED TO Reel
PRociTY.
One Of Seven Who Voted Against
Reporting Treaty to the House.

One Of Seven Who Voted Against
Reporting Treaty to the House.
Washington, Feb. 1i.--Despite the
fact that President Taft has advocated
in the strongest terms the passage at
this session of the reciprocity agreement
bstween this country and Canada, Rep
ressntative Joseph w. Fordney. the
Michigan member of the ways and
means committee today, was one Of the
six Republican members Of the commit
tee who voted against reporting the
bill. Mr.. Fordney has been known all
along as opposed to the agreement and
he will sign the minority report from
the ways and means committee. which
asserts that the farmers and consumers
OF this country will receive no benefit
through the ratification of the treaty.
Mr.. Fordney says 1 voted against
this reciprocity bill because it puts
everything the farmer produces on the
free list and that it opens up market
of 80, 900. 600 of people free to Canada,
but does not give us free access to
Csnada's market of 1900, 900. and while
1t puts wheat on the free list 1t retains
the duty on -four 1t puts all kinds of
livestock. such as cattle, sheep and
hogs. on the free list and makes the
consumers pay tribute to the packing
houses of this country. That is not
only discrimination against the farm
ers, but againit the consumers. While
1t mentions all kinds of agricultural
machinery it does not reduce the duty
at all on farm machinery. but it does
reduce the duty to Canadian farmers.
It is another direct discrimination
against the American farmers. It puts
print paper on the free list coming from
Canada, but leaves Canada absolutely
free to retain her discriminatory tax
license fees and refunding charges on
all her farm products and will not per-
NIT American pulp mills to get any Of
their raw material from Canada.
This is also direct discrimination
against the pulp mills of the United
States, that have an investment of
more than $500, 600. 900. discrimination
for which we cannot stand. 1t puts
rough lumber on the free list. and fixes
duty of per cent on dressed lumber
and permits Canada to charge us q
duty on any lumber of % per cent ad
valorem. The lumber industry is but a
mere bsgatelle as compared with the
effect on the agricultural interests Of
this country. In other words, the
principal items in the bill are dis,
elimination against American farmers
and consumers.
