The following is letter from one of
Paw Paws progressive citizens, Who is
/ heartily m accord with the ideas Of The
! True Northerner as advanced last week
in the editorial headed "Commercial-
ism"
Editor True Northerner:
! Dear Sir:-In your article in last
weeks issue, headed "Commerciahsm'
| you certainly struck the keynote, sound
ed the bugle cal as it were, that should
! 10y all means interest the people of Paw
Paw and arouse them TO the Decessity OF
the betterment OF our beautiful village.
| agree with you that 20 town can
afford to nave name SO undIg nlfled as
to furnish joke for the press at large,
TO say nothing of ninety -Sine people out
of one hundred, who hear toe name of
/ Paw Paw and who do not know the
beauties of the town.

been put TO shame when telling from

as well as the sale and the next time,
WE'LL didn't hail from Paw Paw.
Yes, by all means let's get together
and give the prertiest town in the ate

"Helo Paw Paw" Now il had told him
/ vas from Marlaton, Lakewood, Vine
sod or some 9th one of the many eu-
Pho iuS, sentimental names, probably
be NO ID not have remembered it 10
minutes, but | venture 70 say that II he
is still in the land OF living, be has never
forgotten Paw Paw. Strange, isn't 1t,
that the people who have lived in Paw
Paw for 30 years or more, many OF them
all their lives, have never discovered that
"tearfu loaa" with which the name has
burdened them? 1t has been so easy to
bear because some bOnehe8d of an eX-
press agent or some chump Of post
office clerk don't know the difference
between Paw Paw and Paw Paw Lake,
is that any reason why We should
change our name to something more
esthetic and sentimental? There is no
postoflice at Paw Paw Lake and none by
that name in the entire country, and
Paw Paw was a hourishing, prosperous
town before there was any settlement
around Paw Paw Lake. | have often
been there on fishing excursions when
there was but one small clearing 10 the
entire forest that then surrounded that
beautiful sheet of water. Ii any body
should change names, it is not up to US.
We we're on the map first.
Suppose, Mr.. Editor, that somebody
should suggest that you change the
name of your paper? There is nothing
particularly euphonious about the name
True Northerner. 1t has at the present
time no peculiar Specification, although
at the time it was established, 50 years
ago, when the country was torn by fac
tional strife between the North and the
South on the slavery question and which
eventually led to the civil war, there was
great significance in the name. Would
you entertain the suggestion for a min
uteY | trow not. The paper has an es.
tablished reputation under its unique
name and no manager would think of
such a thing as making a change.
Nature has, indeed, done much for our
beautiful town and the citizens thereof
have "lent their kindly aid" in most
liberal manner 'to add towards It's fur
ther ana constant Identification" and
today, for beauty of location and as a
desirable place of residence aud bust
ness, it is the peer of any town Of its
size in Michigan. You say, Mr.. Editor,
that eff the fruit of which we have to
bear the burden, ever did grow here,
it is beyond the recollection of the old
est inhabitants" Not so. 1t is not so very
many years ago that it was growing lux
uriantiy within the corporation limits of
the town, to my certain knowledge, and
while, possibly it may not now be found
in this immediate vicinity, the pawpaw
still lhourishes in some localities along
the beautiful winding stream that bears
its name.
AS Paw Paw, we have become known
in nearly every state in the Union, by
reason of the immense shipments of the
finest OF fruits; as Paw Paw we are-soon
to be known as a popular summer re-
sort; as Paw Paw W have ests bhshed an

SENATORS who say they will
be with Osborn on his legislative
plans declare they voted for the
Warner list purely as matter of
principle. The say they do not
believe it would have been a
square deal to turn out men Of
unquestionable integrity who
were appointed since the
close of the 1909 session and
against whom no allegations of
shortcomings was even intimated.

regret that the circumstances
were such they could not con-

with Sll 900 the year before and 5c5ses
that the greater part OF this sum was
expended I'D the eastern half of the
county and pointing to the light ex-

was 1929. 81, for the year 1910 it was

This extra expense at the county
farm was due TO the building of the
much needed addition to the main
building and taking the difference
from the total would make 81 1873. 9S
extra for the county farm.
There was expended for temporary
relief in the year 1909, S5,370.48 and in
1910, Sc, 4SS 76 or difference of 81, ll8 20.

here is another one or raw raw oluel
citizens, a true and faithful friend of
The rrue Northerner, who takes issue
with the writer in regard to change OF
name for our beautiful village, and give,
many reasons to substantiate his posi-
ton:
Editor The True Northerner:
! | read with considerable degree OF
interest the editorial entitled CONNER
caIism" in the last issue Of your valua
! bic journal. II was we'll written and
contaiued some suggestions that our
! people might we'll heed and act upon to
their future profit and prosperity, but |
| feel constrained to "join issue with YOU
when you advocate a change of name
for our beautiful village aud prospective
lsummer resort.
| most certainly coincide with you
when YOU say "there is much iu name, -
and for that very reason | should dopre-
cate any attempt at making a change
Instead OK the name being handicap,
as you claim, ] believe that its very sin
guIarity is valuable asset The name
Paw Paw, with It's superhuities OF P's
and Paws may not be quite as eLphoni
Gus as some of the names you suggest,
but it is pretty good name just the
sd me, and it is fully as euphonious as
! Chicago, for instance, and that city has
grown to be a great commercial center,
the second city on the continent, and
never seemed to be aware how badly it
was handicapped by its uneuphonious
moniker.
What is name for anyway, if it is
not TO distinguish the person or
things from all other persons or things?
Take some of the names you suggest.
They may be euphonious and smooth
sounding to the ear, but they are CON-
mon and for that reason do not impress
themselves upon the memory and would
be soon forgotten by those who see them
but seldom or only hear them casually,
but an unique name like Paw Paw is
not easy to forget. And then there are
so many of those sentimental names
that a mention of one of them serves
but inadequately to locate the town
mentioned. To illustrates there are II
Lawrences in the United State, IL Lake
woods, six Vinelands and nine Maple
tons. Take some of our sister villages,
for instance, there are 10 Bangors, 20
Hartfords, IA Decaturs, nine Lawtons
and III Bloomingdales.
The nearer a name comes to Dustin
gushing the place named from all other
places the better it fulfils its mission.
To further illustrate my meaning let me
relate a personal experiences In 1876
visited the centennial exposition. While
passing through Canada / struck up a
casual acquaintance with a gentleman
from Iowa who asked me where l was
from and when | informed him that /
was from Paw Paw, Michigan, he seemed
to be greatly impressed by the name.
Paw Paw, Paw Paw" said he, show
came the town to have such a singular
manner" j explained to him that the
place was situate on river of the same
name aud that the stream was so named
from the abundance of wild pawpaws
that formerly grew along its margin,
and that the name OF the river was given
to the town On that trip, strange to
say, l met the same gentleman in the
city OF New York, on the centennial
grounds at Philadelphia, in the city Of
Washington and 90 the train at Mans
field, Ohio, on his way 10 his Iowa home,

THE action of the senate in
confirming the Warner appoint
ees does not ia any sense imply
that a majority Of the senate is
opposed to Gov. Osborn's reform
policies. This is asserted by
every senator who voted for the
Warner list. Senator Taylor,
interviewed immediate y after the
executive session. who voted for
the Warner list said:
"The matter of confirmation
Of appointments should be ac-
copied as a matter entirely di-
vorced from the matter Of
the Osborn legislative reform

Care OF the County Poor.

The Hartford Dayspring OF
last week, mace some rather
sensational charges in regard to
the expenditures of county funds
in the care of the INDECENT peo-
pie of Van Buren, county. The
True Northerner is not fully ad-
vised in regard to the charges
IN question, neither does it know
the source of the DaySpring's
information. 1t would seem
however, from an interview with
the secretary of the county sup
erintendents of the poor, that
the figures as given by the Day
spring, were somewhat distort-
ed, and the charges somewhat
misleading.
