A LOGICAL REASON
For Casting Your Vote For Judge F
d. M. Davis

The chief argument which the
opponent OF Judge Davis is making
in his campaign is the fact that
Judge Davis has held the Office for
Is years. To the thinking mind
this is one or the most logical reasons
why Judge Davis should be re-
turned
The Grand Rapids Herald OF March
] 9th has a long article upon the
question, which seems to hit the nail
squarely on the head From this
article it will be seen that Senator
White is TO introduce a bill at the
present session OF the State Legis-
lature proposing an amendment to
the Constitution, making Circuit
Judges of the State appointiye for
life instead of elective for six years,
and this suggestion seems to be
meeting with very general approval
throughout the whole State. The
object is to make loDg tenure i'm
perative. There is no answer to
this argument. Experience counts
Suppose Mr.. Farmer you were
looking for a hired man and you
found that Mr.. Jones had worked
for Mr.. Brown three, four or five
years. You would be very apt to say
if he has worked for Brown as long
as that he must be good man, and
this would be about all the recon-
mendation that you would need.
That Judge Davis has been an able
Judge no one can deny. True, he
is not infallable and sometimes his
decisions are reversed, but this is
equally true of cases which are ap-
pealed from our State Supreme
Court to the United States Court.
Many times cases are reversed after
having been decided by five or eight
Judges of our State Supreme Court,
and cases are appealed from the Fed
eral District Courts to the Supreme
Court of the United States and there
reversed, and in fact the Supreme
Court of the United States some
times reverses itself. But how much
more likely will be reversals with an
inexperienced man on the bench.
There is no force whatever in the
argument against Judge Davis. and
nothing could be said stronger in his
favor than the simple fact of his
wide experience. The voters will
make no change, In our Judgment.

KIDNAP CASE
The Godding Children Were Cause
OF Considerable Trouble

Deputy Sheriff .. f.. Webster re-
ceived a telephone from Grand Rapids
Saturday that couple children,
Gladys May Godding and Martha
Godding, had been kidnapped from J.
II. Andrews who lives near Mosely,
and had been taken TO Belding, and
wanted him to locate them. Mr.. Web
ster got bnsy at once and found the
girls at the home of their aunt, Mrs.
Hugh Evans, there also were their
mother and Griffith Vaughn, an uncle
who it seems had taken the children
from the Moseley home. Webster
notified the officer who came here on
the evening train and together with
Mr. Webster and Nightwatchman Al
Weber went TO the Evans home and
demanded the children. The uncle,
Mr.. Vaughn defied the officers to touch
the children and was ready TO fight
and whip the whole trio of officers even
after they had covered him with their
reVolvers. The children were finally
secured and taken to Grand Rapids.
Monday hearing of the case was
held at which John L. Godding, father
of the children was present. Mr..
Vaughn was still belligerent and when
Godding came out of the court room
he landed blow on Godding's chin
that felled him to the walk and put
him out of commission for several min
utes.
A big policeman took Vaughn TO Jail
and i'm an hour had him before Judge
Hess who fined him $50 or 65 days in
Jail. Vaughn took the Jail sentence.
The Goddings lived here several
years ago but are now residing in
Grand Rapids and Mrs. Godding re-
Gently applied for divorce, out of
which has grown the trouble, and it
seems the children had been placed in
the Moseley home temporarily during
the divorce proceedings.
Mrs. Godding on advice of her at.
torney supposed she had the right TO
get the children, and asked her brother,
Mr.. Vaughn to go with her after them.

were collected in July because they
could not be met.
At the close of the fiscal year In
1910, there was to the City's credit
| $9763.6l in all its funds. An in.
, crease OF $4575.1S over the pre-.
| ceding year besides having paid q
number OF the bills that should have
been paid the previous year.
And In addition there has been
no small amount OF improvements
made. During the past year there
has been six lines Of sewer laid;
there has been as much money ex-
pended on the streets as the last
year under the wet" period; there
has been as much and more side
walk laid the past two years as any
other two years under the wet"
regime; the city street lighting has
cost considerably more during the
past two years; $500. has been paid
on the floating Indebtedness the past
year and $40, 900, of the bonded in
debtedness; 1t has paid $1,000 and
the interest on the same for con-
structing the Mary street stwer
which was laid the last year of the
saloons and should have been paid
that year. That virtually makes the
Mary Street Sewer an Improvement
of the last year; besides all of this
the city has erected a High School
building the equal Of any city OF it's
size.
Contrary to the report that has
been sent out the taxes in the city
have not been higher for the last
two years than they were before.
The rate OF taxation is .013fo now
the same as it was the last year OF
the wet" period. Any increase in
taxes is due TO the school tax for
the expenses OF erecting the new
building or for some special assess
ment such as constructing sewers,
etc.
During the fiscal year 190S-9 the
city expended for special police
S155.17 and for the year 1909-10
it expended the sum of $57.5S for
the same purpose a saving OF almost
one hundred dollars on that item
alone. Also in the year 1908 the
city paid out for the care and sup
port Of it's poor $39S.64 and in the
year 1910 ii cost only S27S.24 to
take care OF the poor saving in
this regard OF $1,000.

CLUB LADIES BANQUET
Ladies Literary Exchange Held An.
nual On st. Patrick's Day

The annual banquet of the Ladies'
Literary Exchange was held Friday
evening, st. Patrick's night and the
occasion was one in line with the mem
cries of that good old saint.
The ladies of the Congregational
church served the banquet in the
church dining room where about sixty
covers were laid at tastefully decorated
tables, green and white being the color
scheme. The menu was tempting and
it seemed TO touch the palate in the
right spot.

.'The Final Settlement" drama of
today will be the attraction at the
Opera house on Tuesday, March 2S for
one night only, This will be the first
presentation of the play in this city.
1t is quite melodramatic, with strong
vein of good comedy. The story deals
with the early struggles Of a young su-
perinlendent in one of the mills OF a
great corporation. Through an acci-
dent he is raised to the position of pres
ident of the corporation. His sudden
ly acquired wealth and position, and
the alluTments of life in the fast social
set in which he moves, cause him 10
renounce the wife of his youthful strug
giles and privations, and to seek COM
panionship in the person of a beautiful
actress, whom he believes better quail
fed for the exacting demands society
would make upon the wife OF a man of
his exalted commercial position and
wealth. His subsequent ruin, and his
final rescue at the hands OF the wife of
his youth, form the basis Of the melo-
drama. The company presenting the
play is strong one-is now playing
the big city time, and the production
is in every way qualified TO give the
theater goer good evenings entertain
ment
