Ii Paws To Advertise

In our issue of November 2nd, the
Belding Furniture Co. inserted several
liners relative To rug sale TO be held
on the Saturday following. The sale
was big success. Last week a couple
of the liners were accidently left in the
paper and on Saturday there was an
other rush for rugs but those who went
at that time were doomed to disappoint-
ment as the stock had been sold on the
Saturday previous. Mr.. Dow, the
manager called up the Banner and or
dered the liners taken out this week
for sure as he did not want TO disap-
point his customers any further.

MUST HAVE LICENSE
Merchants And Grocery
Peddlers Are Liable
To Law

The state scored victory Friday
when the supreme court affirmed the
decision OF the circuit court of Berrien
county in the case of the people VS..
David j. Stewart. BY the decision,
the court held the hawkers and ped
dlers act constitutional. This will
aid the state treasurer's department in
securing convictions in the future and
will eventually mean great deal TO
merchants of this state.
Stewart, it appears, operated store
in Chicago, and for several years has
engaged in soliciting orders and deliver
ing goods in this state. Goods sold by
him were SHIPPED in carload lots to ST.
Joseph and consisted in the main of
flour, sugar, coffee, tea, etc. All goods
were consigned TO Stewart and no
packages were consigned to the pur-
ported purchasers. Stewart was ar
rested and convicted both in justice
and circuit courts. His conviction is
affirmed and he will have to stand
sentence.
Inquiry at the office of the state
treasurer revealed the fact that this
was only waiting the out
come of the decision before starting
several complaints against parties who
are operating under similar conditions
in the state.

NEW CHURCH
is ORGANIZED

"With a population OF 2400 East Lans-
ing has been without church up TO
the present time. Last week con-
venient and handsome structure was
dedicated there, built at the cost of SIT,
600, to be known rs the "People's
Church." with purpose as broad as
the name implies.
To become member of this chucrh it
is only necessary 10 subscribe to this
covenant of membership: 81 believe
in the teachings of Jesus Christ, and
with the help of God will strive day
by day TO lead the life of purity, unself-
ishness, and Of service which He exem-
plified to the world"
Among the first 100 persons who
affiliated themselves with the church
nine different denomipations were
represented, but the new creed was
expansive enough to be acceptable to
all, and it is the belief, as well as the
design, that there shall be no more
protestant churches at East Lansing
for many years.
Rev. Robert Goldsmith is the pastor
and through his efforts the new scheme
resulted, recently Mr.. Goldsmith ex-
changed pulpits with Rev. w. w.
Mitchell pastor of the Congregational
church in Carson City and the Gazette
spoke very highly of his sermon.
Ii all the ceurches and church people
in Belding and the ungodly and sinner
could come together on platform Of
faith and doctrine like that, live up to
the teachings of the great Master, and
each take upon themselves individual
ly the responsibility of work and ac-
tivity in the church and help boost
instead of knock, the Silk City's
already fair name for model city
would be greatly augmented.

up of the articles of agreement to be
clinched, when Mr.. John Donovan
should set the seal of his approval on
the project after trip West, viewing
the land and testing the mineral in its
primitive state.
Mr.. Donovan made the trip but evil
IDENTIFY the proposition diden't look good
10 him, as there has been nothing doing
at this end of the deal, since his arrival
home a couple of months ago.
Mr.. Seely claimed that the mineral
could be scooped up by the shovels full
and sold at dollar a pound, needing
no ingredient or liquid Of any kind ex-
cept pure water to make it the finest
metal polish on the market.

Spencer Electric Light and

1T is A GOOD MOVE
Bell Phone Company's Still Standing
But With All Others May Come

Look Fine

Some time ago the City Council pas
sed an ordinance that all electric light
and telephone poles should be removed
from Main Street but no action has
ever been taken 10 enforce the order
and the unsightly poles and mass of
wires have remained. Recently, how
ever, the Spencer Electric Light and
Power Company began the work of
changing their wires TO the alleys and
are now engaged in taking down the
poles and removing them from the
complish the work but the company
like TO have everything looking nice
and up to date and are entitled to
credit for their enterprise. The Cit
liens Phone Company have poles on
one block of Main Street at the West
end and Miss Presley, the manager,
says they are ready at any time to re-
move them and will do so when neces-
sary.
1t is expected the Bell Phone Com
pany and the Citizens Light Company
will fall in line and assist in making
this improvement TO Main Street a
permanent one so far as the poles are
concerned. After the poles are all
down street improvement will soon fol-
low and the sooner the poles are down
the sooner will Main Street be paved.

A Costly Smoke

On Wednesday of last week, j. G..
Bradford who lives west of this city
went TO husk little corn. When he
reached the field he thought he would
take smoke and proceeded to light
his pipe while standing behind the
corn stalks which he had already drawn
together TO protect the match from the
wind.
When he had lighted his pipe he
dropped the match little To near the
stack and proceeded To husk corn. He
was quite surprised little later to hear
the cracking of fire and upon look
ing around found that a portion of his
winter fodder which had been drawn
and stacked was fast being reduced TO
ashes.

Washington in Westminster.

What do the people Of the United
States think OF w. T. Stead's sugges-
tion that a statue of George Washing
ton be placed in Westminster Abbey?
Perhaps Americans would not have
the final say as to such a plan. Mr..
Steads idea was expressed in his Lon
don speech and was based upon the
proposition that Washington, the
father of American independence, was
also the father of British freedom
that is, that the reaction of the Amer
lean revolution upon the British pub
lie life made England democratic
and that therefore II would be appro-
pirate for the two nations thus to
unite In paying homage to a common
benefaetor. Moreover, in the mind of
Mr.. Stead, it would be timely to do
this now, or next year, as a fitting
memorial to the 100 years of un-
broken peace between Great Britain
and the American republic.
Granting. for the sake of argument,
that but for the genius of Washington
we might not have won our indepen-
dence Of England and that our sue
cessful revolution laid the foundation
for the liberal colonial policy that has
extended the British empire to the
ends of the earth, we are not yet sure
that England views it in exactly that
light, or, If 1t does, that it would think
It necessary to celebrate its debt to
Washington in just that way. Eng
lishmen have been rather slow to for
get that through the military prowess
of General Washington they lost the
most valuable colony they ever pos
sessed.
On our side, too, we have popula-
tion elements who would resent the
acceptance of any such favor from
England as indicating acquiescence of
England's mistreatment of Ireland.
So while the idea is at first attractive,
It will be we'll to go slow about 1t.

Probing a Gentiemen's Agreement.


Those steel masters from nine diff
ferent countries went about their
Brussels conference with a good deal
of gusto. Judge Gary announced the
plans of the meeting with something
more than common animation. Com
ing so abruptly on the heels of our
governments action with reference to
the Steel corporation, it sounded
something like challenge of this
governments power. Under that i'm
preston authorities at Washington
have decided to see what can be done
toward checking this apparent effort
toward a worldwide working agree
ment in the steel industry.
1t is a settled conviction that this
Brussels conference, which goes by the
sweet name of "Gentlemens Agree
ment," foreshadows nothing more
nor less than a universal trust, since
the national combine In this country
is threatened. II that is the case, 1t
is up to the United States to meet the
issue. 1t is gratifying, therefore, to
know that the president has directed
the Department of Justice TO proceed
along this line.
How far out into the sea the Sher-
man law will reach has never been
definitely determined. In the case Of
the steamship monopoly. however, It
was shown to possess some extensive
powers. So 1t may apply to trust in
the basic commodity of steel II it con-
templates monopoly of trade inter
course with American interests, which,
indeed, are to be the governing inter-
ests. The administration deserves a
good deal of credit for it's prompt
alertness in undertaking 80 formidable
a task.

HOT WEATHER MUSIC.

How I love to hear the rattle of the hard
coal In the chute
When IT'S ninety-six or seven in the
shade; u .,.,.
nv being seems to scoot,
BY what pleasing, airy fancies am
swayed.
In my glad imagination behold the driver
where
He's lndustriously shoveling the coal;
His cars and neck are blackened, there is
fuel In his hair,
But there may not be a stain upon his
soul
To his skin his shirt Is sticking, here and
there little stream
Trickies from his chest or dribbles down
his back;
From his shoetops there are rising cunning
little puffs OF steam,
on his visdge white streaks mingle with
the black
You may think the hurdygurdy makes the
sweetest soothing sound
Or he giaddened by the pupil with the
flute:
But to me the sweetest music, when the
sun has parched the ground.
Is the rattle OF the hard coal In the chute.

Who Is Behind the wiley Chargesi

The people at large will scarcely
concur in any premature verdict Of
guilty against DR.. II. w. Wiley, the
government pure food expert, by a
house committee until the accused has
had the benefit of fair hearing. The
committee recommends his summary
dismissal from the government serv-
ice, but President Taft evidently re-
CARDS that as a little precipitate and,
instead of calling for the Doctors res
ignation has transmitted to him all
the papers in the case and suggested
an investigation, which the house has
now ordered.
The charges against DR.. Wiley in
volve the diversion of money for un-
authorized pay to subordinates. The
offense would not be heinous II proved
and before passing judgment the peo-
pie will want to know who has started
the movement that led a democratic
house committee to this secret inves-
tigation Of Wiley's work, which, 1t is
given Ou'' mas DSSh III piOBioSs SihCS

fetal. He has done a great deal in
the way of obtaining and enforcing
pure food legislation. Some of his
activity has offended large special in
terests. 1t has long been a matter of
common report that these interests

they have anything to do with this
present move against him? That is

"Wave of Crime"

Eighth Victim Taken by Jack

Atlanta Is a little larger than
Omaha. 1t would seem that in city
OF that size such diebolical deeds
could be traced to their source. 1t is
also unthinkable to imagine that any
police force could wink at crime so
violent, New York and Chicago have
this year had their experiences with
this so-called wave OF crime. and so
have other cities, and each has
thought that it's problem was the
worst A few months ago, when
deeds of violence were perpetrated in
Omaha, the old cry OF the worst city
in the country was raised az usual.

Here is an item from the Indianapo-
lis News which throws an interesting
light on the ice situation there:
OF course, there is no ice trust. There
is not even reasonable" one or a COM
bination of any sort, or the intangible thing
known as a "gentlemen's agreement" But
all the same, yesterday dozen or more
OF the larger Indianapolis ice companies
denied report that the price Of Ice had
been or was to be again advanced from
80 to 40 cents n hundred pounds, and today
these same companies have all advanced
the price to 10 cents. It is expecting q good
deal Of the public's imagination to believe
that without any agreement of any sort
all the Ice companies decide, between two
days, to advance the price to the same
figure in all cases. The mere statement
of the facts may not be sufficient evidence
for grand jury, but to the ordinary hui
man being it is conclusive enough.
Wonder what folks would do in In
dianapolis If the ice companies should
simultaneously screw the price for de-
livery to households up to so cents a
hundred pounds as they have in

Note the Difference.

While a dozen candidates have filed
on the republican ticket for the seven
judgeships to be filled in this judicial
district, the democrats are beating the
bushes to scare up enough material to
make a full ticket without leaving va
cant places. It is not hard to dis
cover, however, that there is reason.
The last legislature changed the
boundaries of the judicial district by
taking Sarpy county of, constituting
the district of Douglas, Washington
and Burt counties. Sarpy county has
usually given democratic majorities,
so that its subtraction leaves the judi
cial district more strongly republican
than before. Democrats OF judicial
qualifications willing to sacrifice them
selves to such a condition naturally
have to be persuaded.
