brand If he were remiss in his
duty; but it would seem as though
the condition of the fire engine
might have been discovered be-
fore. 1t is now nearly a year
since the present administration
came into power in village at
fairs, ana in our opinion it is q
sad commentary on somebody
whose duty it must have been &c
look after such matters, to find
at this late hour that our splen
did fire engine was out of com
mission. 1t has since been placed
in good order, for which we
should be thankful, but why was
it not discovered before? Would.
Mt it seem as though some on c
had been negligent in the dis
charge of his official duty?
Last but not least, in regard
to petty politics and "petty
grievances" in the town board,
of which the president speaks,
we would simply say, in the Ian
guage of the Saviour in his Ser
mon on the Mount, "Why be-
holdest thou the mote that is in
thy brothers eye, but consider
est not the beam that is in thine
own eye?"
In conclusion we repeat that
our criticism is directed only to
those whom the coat fits. There
is no politics in the argument,
and we regret that our good
friend and neighbor has sought
to make it a political issue. We
are interested in the welfare and
prosperity and protection of the
citizens of the village and their
property. If anyone, whether
he be member of the Sc. O. p.
breed" or the other specie, is
negligent in his official duty, we
feel that we would be remiss in
our duty if we failed to call at
tention to the fact and seek to
correct the error.

a communication comes to US

A man to whom we referred

decided that pair of twins means
four. This question was
innocently propounded to him.
"Should it be your fate to have

you prefer two or four?' The

The reception given to Sena-
tor VIM. Alden Smith at the
various banquets and political
meetings throughout the state
last week, shows that the senator
has lost none of his popularity
among his constituents. The
fact that he will have no opposi-
ton to denomination and cleo
ton as senior senator from
Michigan is a glowing tribute
to his worth and standing.

The Special Session

There seems to be considerable
dissatisfaction in regard to the
calling of a special session of
the legislature. Not that the
people are not favorable to a
presidential primary, for there
is no question but that a great
majority of the people of the
state would favor such primary.
The dissatisfaction comes from
the late hour in which the call
was issued, the probable motive,
and the fact that it would seem
as though the governor had
exceeded his authority in calling
the special session at this time.
1t is conceded that probably a
presidential primary would en-
nance the chances of electing a
Roosevelt delegation in Michi-
gan. The dissatisfaction and
criticism however, is not con-
fined to the Taft supporters.
There are probably as many
Roosevelt supporters as there
are Taft supporters, who question
the advisability and justice Of
the governors action IN issuing
such call. 1t is not a question
of Taft or Roosevelt, it is d
constitutional question, and
while there is no doubt but what
the legislature will pass the
presidential primary bill, there
is grave doubt in the minds of
the legal fraternity as to whether
it can be given immediate effect.
If such a bill cannot under the
constitution be given immediate
effect, then the expense of the
special session will be an addi-
tional burden on the tax payers,
and will be for naught.
The following communication
from one of the most radical
Roosevelt supporters in the
county, will illustrate how some,
at least, of the voters look upon
the matter, and also demon
strates the fact that the criticism
comes not alone from the Taft
supporters:
Editor True Northerner:--
The writer of this communication
is decidedly in favor of a presidential
preference primarJ, but he does not
believe that the special session of the
Legislature of this state called for that
purpose, as set forth in the call Of
Governor Osborn, was necessary for the
enactment OF such law.
The constitution OF Michigan, Section
Z, article g. reads as follows: "He" the
governor may convene the Legislature
on extraordinary occasions" Lexico-
graphers define the word extraordinary"
TO mean out of the common order or
method, not usual, not customary, not
ordinary. What is there in connection
with the choosing of delegates to the
coming National convention, we would
ask, that is at all out OF the common
order, that is unusual, not customary,
unOrdinaryY This same proposition was

We "GrowI" Again.

Our good friend, the president
of the village, has, in a commu
nication published in another
column of this issue, attempted
to answer The True Northerner's
editorial of last week, entitled
Somebody Neglected Duty" He
seeks to Justify the fact that the
fire department could not get
water with which to fight the
canning factory blaze, and other
shortcomings of the administra-
ton, by injecting politics into
the argument and charging the
council with petty politics, per
sonal grievances and ungentle-
manly courtesy"
At the outset let us say that
The True Northerner's criticism
Of last week was not directed to
anyone in particular, nor did we
desire that it should be construed
as a matter of politics. We are
willing to be designated as a
"growler" or "kicker" if by so
"growling" and clicking" we
can in any way be of service to
the citizens of the village We
would criticise one OF the sc. O.
p. breed just as quickly and
with just as good grace as we
would one of the other breed
if in our judgment their official
acts deserved it, and a careful
perusal Of the editorial of last
week would reveal the fact that
the criticism was directed to any
one.or all of the village officials
eff the coat tit.
In the first place the editor of
The True Northerner was at the
fire, and among the first there
He still maintains that if the de-
partment could have had " alter
when they first arrived, all the
west part Of the building contain
ing the canning machinery and
engine could have been saved.
That part of the argument, how
ever. has nothing to do with the
point at issue. The fact remains
in the opinion of The True Nor
therner that some one neglected
his duty.
The president states that the
hydrants could not be flushed in
cold weather because they would
freeze all the harder. That may
be true and we are not in posi-
ton to deny the statement, but
it would seem as though they
could be flushed occasionally
during the warm weather and
could be inspected by somebody
at regular intervals that the fire
men could know ia case of a fire
what to expect and what to do.
In regard to the "sagacity and
foresight" of former administra-
tons in installing the fire alarm
system, we would say that if they
erred in judgment or neglected
their duty, the present admins.
tration could do nothing better
than correct the error.
AS to the criticism of the Kib-
bic Telephone Company, The
True Northerner is unable to
answer and will let the company
speak for itself, suffice to say the
time of turning in the alarm in
this particular instance would
have made no difference with the
ultimate results.
The president speaks of the
condition of the fire engine and
states that two and one half bush
els of SCOT were taken from the
Hues. We would not attempt to
shield any former official, even
thnnch he did bear the &C. Q. =.

that the cases OF the forty union Ia

Destroying Competition
(Bv Associated Prsss.l

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 26.-The
kellogg Toasted Corn Flake company,
alleged to be violating the Sherman
law, in a petition in equity, filed in
the United States district court here
today, by order of Attorney General
Wickersham, to settle for all time, the
extent to which the manufacturer
may control retail prices.
The company and its officers, en-
gagged in the manufacture OF Kelloggs
toasted corn flakes, are charged with
fixing prices at which flakes were
sold to the retailer and consumer pre-
venting competition which would re-
duce the price and creating .;nonop-
oily by concen trating their entire in
terstate traffic in this commodity in
the hands of jobbers and retailers,
who abide by the price agreements
exacted by the defendants.
1t is alleged the defendants have
invoked the patent laws through the
use of = patented carton, in which
fakes were packed as "a mere subter-
fuge and device" to escape the pro-
visions of the Shermar~iaw. The gov
ernment asks for injunctions to pre-
vent the company from controlling
prices after the flakes leave the
hands of the manufacturer.
