II has been repeatedly asserted that
no Occidental can fathom what is be
hind tho Oriental mind. can divine its
complex workings, can tell how its
mystical attributes may confound all
calculations as to It's apparently prac-
tical directions, can safely assume its
real objective. either IN purpose or real
taation. 1t Is the testimony of men
who have spent years in india and the
farther Orient. in close contact with
the natives. that the longer their res
idence the less competent they have
feit TO reach cl:nr and Intelligent con
clusions touching this problem. For
these reasons obtains the more Of less
widespread disposition to challenge oc-
oidental optimism regarding the future
OF tho Chinese republic But for these
reasons also discussion OF the question
by an educated. enlightened Oriental
who, while knowing the Chince is not
OF them, cannot but be recognized not
only as most Interesting, but as impor-
tant and authoritative.

Montgomery Webster
Political ADVERTISEMENT

To the Voters of lonia County:
On account of the constantly increas
ing volume of work of the Probate
Office, it is nearly impossible for Judge
Webster 10 get about the County as
much as he would like TO do during the
present campaign. In fact the past
year has been the busiest ever known
in that Office, IA large number of especial
ly important matters having arisen re-
quiring attention. These business
matters are being handled by Judge
Webster promptly and acceptably as he
has devoted his constant attention to
the duties of the office.
In the whole range of Official duty
there is no parallel TO the responsibility
of representing those upon whom has
came the great silence. TO do this in
recognition of duty Legal and Divine
has been his sincere effort.
We believe accordingly that those
who have had business with the Pro-
bate Office in the past may be depend
ed upon TO endorse the candidacy of
Judge Webster among their friends.
A careful examination of the facts
will show that in large number of the
Counties of the State, the Judge of Pro-
bate is continued in Office without ref
erence TO politics, il not being looked
upon as a political office. In fact its
duties require an experience and legal
training along lines of Probate work.
This training Judge Webster received
as clerk for his father, the late William
| O. Webster, which especially fitted
him To perform the duties of the office.
Your attention is called To Wayne
Couny, Saginaw, Shiawasee, Manistee,
| Clinton, Barry and in fact To nearly
all of the larger Counties TO prove that
frequent changes In this office are re-
garded as undesirable.
You may yourself be interested in
some estate next year. Is il not of too
much importance TO you To have a
change? II this is your opinion, will
you work 10 retain Judge Webster?
May we depend upon you?

The average woman now begins
that study OF society which will merge
ultimately with the marriage cam

which she admits frankly to herself.
! She comes to many conclusions" says
lncz Haynes Gilmore I'm Harper's Ba-
gar, which sink uuuoucod into her

instance, is her natural career. then
men are her natural prey
But unfortunately there are never
enough men in her world TO go round
aud of those from whom she may hope
to choose some are much more desir.
able than others. Naturally she pre-
fcrs the desirable oues--i. e.. the
'eligibles.' But--and here she runs
against her FIRST obstaCle-every 9TH
er single woman In her circle has
come to the same conclusion. From
the instant she realizes this she
must declare war ON every other mem
Der of her sex.
Men must often wonder at that mi
mute and merciless examination to
which, on first meeting, every
woman submits every other wom
an. Men must often marvel at the
power of quick observation which
women always develop in these cir.
oumstances. This is only the swift
Interrogation with which a warrior

Women are forever discovering new

most terrifying element in the situa-
ton is psychological-her sense of
