MARSE HENRY
COMES ACROSS
From Seagirt.

1t was day of good words and good
omen at Seagirt yesterday. There
was about the formal opening of the
Democratic campaign an air that was
anything but perfunctory, that was
charged with significance of great
and vital things. 1t was truly DEM
ocratic air and its essence of Democ-
racy was of that wider and deeper
spirit which looks to the conditions,
the needs, the aspirations not of mere
political parties, but of the constit-
uency Of mighty country, which en-
ploys political parties only as means
for the effectuations of its healthful
existence under organized representa-
tive government.
1t is not exaggeration to say that
Gov. Wilson's ddress in acceptance of
the nomination of the Baltimore con-
vention was exceptionally impressive
and inspiring. That it would be schol-
arly, thoughtful and well-expressed,
was expected as a matter of course.
That it would be marked by the ability
of the man of intellect, the student
both of books and affairs, was equally
anticipated. But with all this its real
force was the force of the intelligence,
the acuteness, the clarity with which
the student has analyzed conditions
and the courage, the sincerity and san
ity with which he approaches the re-
sponsibility of their rectification.
> With thorough appreciation of the
fact that there has been a great awak-
ening of the people and that the coun-
try is at the beginning of new epoch,
he defines his conception of the re-
sponsibilities which the voters of the
United States are to place upon his
shoulders with no suggestion of cow
ardice, yet no taint of demagogy. In
his mastery treatment of the tariff
and trusts he urges that our policy in
working reform should be neither rash
nor timid, and this lack of both rash
ness and timidity characterizes the
denition of his attitude on the various
important questions touched upon in
his address.

The SentinePs Straw Vote

That Theodore Roosevelt is the four
to one favorite for president among
Ionia county republicans is shown by
The Sentinel's ballot as far as il has
progressed. 1t is also indicated that
Underwood is fayorite among local
democrats although the votes from that
party have oeen few and very scatter
ing. Most of the votes SO far received
have come from farmers throughout
the country, many coming in by mail.
The preponderance of Roosevelt senti-
ment among Ionia county voters is
astonishing, but it may be explained
by the fact that the Roosevelt men are
free TO express themselves while others
are hanging back. However, the votes
still come in rapidly and next week
may change the appearance of the bal
loting in favor Of some other candidate.

Editor Banner;
We reached here at end of winter
Judging from looks. Last week green
grass covered one park and a very few
house lots. Cool days, wind and very
few flakes of snow during your big
stormy days. Ice forms on water in
dishes nearly every night ofar. There
is plenty of dust, as everything is so
dry. A lime kiln and stone crusher
are working on Mt. Franklin back of
the city.
Think half of the population are
mexicans and negros. Lots of hotels
with new one just started. The
Arson Mills twelve story block has been
finished about year. Nearly every
house, apparently will take roomers or
boarders if you have no children or are
not sick.
The city extends from the river on the
west TO Fort Bliss, on the north east,
guess even farther TO the east 8 to 8
miles. Many modern stores, hundreds
of good houses, generally brick. Many
abode houses cemented over inside and
outside making warm house in win
ter and cool in Summer. Lots OF old
buildings are left in the older portion of
the city and in the section next to the
river is the old poor Mexican section,
All small square or oblong adobe houses
with nearly fiat roofs.

Barber's License Nil

One Edward Graham, student at
law at Dimondale, some time ago start
ed barber shop there without state
license, and he was promptly reported
to the state board. The board got after
Graham, but the student was game,
and he notified the board TO post up on
the Law, and kept right on doing bust
ness, and without license, too.
1t is now said that the attorney gen.
eral coincidts with Graham S contention
that there is no barber law now i'm force.
Ii is claimed that the law of 1901 was
repealed because il was declared uncon-
stitutional, and that the law of 1906 is
class legislation.
When Gov. Warner went into office
the BARRIERS were led to believe that he
would abolish the board. Until short
time ago nothing was heard of the
board, and then notices were sent out
requesting BARRIERS to kindly remit,
which many have done.

The farmers have, heretofore, been the
stronghold for this craze, But their
tax receipts are putting crimp in
their enthusiasm. They are beginning
to see that radicalism costs fearful!y;
that they have been played as pawns
to give certain fellows a CHARGE to Sc
cure distinction without inparting real
service to the voter.
OF course ali kinds of industry must
be greatly disturbed by such brainless
politics. Business men are feeling the
ground tremhie beneath their feet.
Everywhere is present the politician,
f;oking to politics alone, filled with his
own selfish ambition.
Every specous plan is put first for
reform. Plain common sense is at
discount; it is not progressive enough.

troll of affairs. BY and by the day of

Politics and Business.

All men measure the sum of public
happiness more or less by the words,
Cuisines" prosperity. When times
are good, when business runs in its ac-
customed channels, then we say every
body is happy, or at least as happy as
they can be. Now, whether this de6n-
ition suits those with ''lofty ideals or
the spiritual minded, or those who
make business of reforming others
or not, yet there it stands as the gener-
al concensus of public opinion, and it
governs.
One of the most disturbing things to
business, or in other words, to the
natural trend of industry is politics.
Right here is where we get together
TO disagree, to be suspicious of each
other, to doubt one ano.her's patriot
ism, to put on airs Of superior virtue
and foresight over each other. All
this flying apart does not close until
We are obliged to quit by the closing
of the ballot box and the declaration
of the count. Then we subside for a
time. Then we begin to resume our
former condolences in each other; then
we attend to business. No wonder
politics disturbs business. business
means getting together, coming to an
agreement amicably. Politics means
flying apart. In these latter days
there is more OF the acrid, corroding
spirit OF politics than ever before in
our history. A class of agitators have
arisen called Progressives, Who are
trying to persuade the people that the
laws are all wrong, everything is
wrong but their notions. They have
saddled themselves upon the state o.
Wisconsin. They are creating ar
enormous increase of expense. loading
down the statute books with a mass o
crude, ill-digested laws, increasing thu
taxes to a degree never dreamed o
before, and for what2

on his Judgment.

on his judgment.
Now it has developed in the course
of time that even insurgent legislators
are becoming tired of that sort of
thing, and here and there they are be-
ginning to think for themselves, and,
sometimes they even go so far as to
act for themselves. This naturally
disturbs the bosses, and, having found
the people easy to enthrall with hyp-
motto oratory, they have concluded to
eliminate the legislature, by the gen.
eral application OF the initiative, refer
endum and recall.
The transaction of the affairs OF the
government by the people direct, is
not representative government. This
nation was founded on the principle of
government by representation, and by
responsible, intelligent and independ-
ent representatives. The deliberative
assembly for legislation is a fundament-
al and indispensable function of that
form of government. The people
should not be misled by the fallacy
that direct legislation is representa-
tive government. If they want to turn
the legislative function of government
over to those who know nothing about
it, and those who in the nature of
things can know nothing about it, and
destroy a system under which 1t is at
least possible to secure intelligent con-
sideration of legislation, they should
do it knowing what they are doing.
Don't be swept off your feet by the
smiling assurance that you know as
much about what this government
needs as anybody. You don't, and in
your own heart you know you don't.
If you want anything else done, you
hire someone who has taken the time
to learn how. Why shouldn't you hire
somebody to run your government who
either knows something about it, or
will take the time to learn. Remem-
Der that the man who cries, Stop
Thief. is sometimes the man who ought
70 be stopped. In other words-dont
let Bob LaFollette, Theodore Roose
welt, or anybody else, do your think
ing for you, or jolly you into the idea
that you can do things you know you
can't, better than somebody can that
you know knows how. You can't and
you really know you can't.
