Word comes from Bourbon county
that a justice OF the peace down there
has declared the polltax law passed by
the last legislature unconstitutional.
That ]. P. assumed unto himself priyi
leges and powers heretofore only en-
joyed by supreme courts. He is occu-
plying an obscure place at present, but
he ought to move from Corsica to
Paris. There are worlds waiting for
him to conquer.
And yet the J. P. received aid and
allotment in his assault on the legisla-
ture a. NJ. Keene, representative from
Bourbon county, and J. P. Cassin, rep
resentative from Crawford county, botlI
appeared in court and testified that the
pOiltax law was read in a rush during
one noon hour when a lot Of bills were
railroaded. Indeed Cassin offered ex-
pert testimony to the effect that no
man could read the polltax bill in two
minutes and yet that the measure was
disposed Of by a loose-lipped reading
clerk in that period.
The J. p. weighed the evidence, APP
piled the Irresistible logic to the case
and landed a right hook to the jaw of
the poIltax law. The la is now down
and out and the Kansas roads will
be overgrown with grass and weeds
unless some body of men come to tie
rescue of the law and try to revive it.
The case in point was that of a Bour-
bon county farmer who refused to pay
MS polltax, taking the ground that the
law was not good. The man was re-
leased from custody on the strength Of
the ruling by the J. z.

his evening at the college GYM
nasium the Alma high school basket
ball team will meet the Grand Rapids
high school team in the final game
of the season for the local squad.
Upon this game depends whether the
championship of this part of the state
shall go absolutely to the Saginaw
high school or shall remain to be
contended for by the Grand Rapids
and Saginaw fves. Saginaw has de-
teated the local five on the college
court and if the yellow and black can
turn the trick tonight on the Furni-
ture City bunch, the Saginaw men
will retain the title. The local school
has had a very successful season de-
feating practically all the teams from
schools OF cities OF the size OF Alma
and giving the big city teams a good
contest Most of the men remain,
which assures another good team next
year
Attention is already being given to
basketball and track work. Prospects
now look as if the baseball nine will
be the very best in many years. The
preparatory boys are confident of Civ
ing the college some lively practice
games The track work is being
taken up with a vim now that the
warmer weather seems to be more
permanent and when the annual
county field meet comes around the
Alma squad ought to make a good
showing
Next Saturday night will occur an
oratorical and defamation contest in
the auditorium room of the high
school. Six orations and four decla-
nations will be given Those having
orations will be Marjorie Delevan,
Hugh BARLEY, Calvin Race, Arthur
Mcintyre, Archie Daley and John

tions are Donald Smith, Hollis Clark,
Dick Rockwell and Paul Cash. The
contest will begin at 73O and no ad-
mission will be charged. Those in

invited to hear the work of the stu

SHE USED A CHAIR.

scene OF the Knowlton tragedy, de
tailed in another column, there is a
husky woman who is alive today just
because she has muscle, presence OF
mind, and plenty Of nerve. Just a
few days ago, so the neighbors say
and they get the story from both
parties to the trouble-a man and
his wife had morning argument,
which had become rather frequent and
as intense as frequent. The discussion
had been progressing some minutes
and both parties had been heard when
the. husband, TO emphasize his author
ity and impress upon his wife his
ability to govern his household,
reached for his shotgun. Her percep-
tion was keen and her aim accurate
when she grabbed chair and brought
it down upon his head
The medicine administered was de-
cidedly effective When the irate lord
OF the manor came 20 his senses he
had lost all interest. in his shotgun
and was as docile as a spring lamb.
He afterward told a neighbor. in
relating the incident, that if she had
not been the quickest he would have

attend the state oratorical contest at

but the crowd failed TO materialize
with the result that the adventure
found itself some So deficient Part
of this has been made up among the

care of by Prof Adams personally.
The result was unfortunate as much
time and effort had been spent in per-
fecting and executing plans to give
the college a good showing at Ypsi-
lanti
AT the down-state town, Albion won
first place in the oratorical contest for
men, and Ypsilanti Normal first place

TO SAVE NIAGARA

The power-developing companies
at Niagara Falls are not satisfied with
being allowed to run their works at
full speed upon water for which they
do not pay one cent The compromise
measure enacted in 1906, and extend
ed in 1909. allowed all of them all the
water they were then able to use,
even though the falls were distinctly
injured.
But now they have taken advantage
OF the outside limitations of the Can
adian Waterways Treaty, and seek to
have the amount diverted from the
falls on the American side increased
2s per cent. This would give them
more than $4,000 horsepower addi-
tional, worth to them, nearly a mil
lion dollars a year.
According to the army engineers,
and the Lake Survey authorities,
grave damage has already been done,
and worse will be done if diversion is
increased. The American Civic Asso-
citation. which has led in the fight to
save Niagara for the people, insists
that the power pepole have now
enough, and should not get another
drop. 1t is shown that the American
falls passes less than 4 per cent of
the whole volume of the Niagara
river. and that taking more water for
power means many bare rocks in the
rapids and on the crest line during
periods Of lower water
