1.-The extremely low postage rate
accorded to second class matter gives
these publications a circulation and
corresponding influence unequalled
in history. 1t is common belief that
many periodicals are secretly owned
or controlled and that in reading
such papers the public IS deceived
through ignorance of the interests
the publication represents. We
believe that, since the general public
bears large portion OF the expense
of distribution of second class matter
and since these publications WELD

special concessions in the mails, it is
not only equitable, but highly desir-
able, that the public. should know

Elk POSTMASTER MYHAN SAYS
that Hon. Amos S. Musselman
is too old to be governor of
Michigan, that he is in the "sere
and yellow leaf" so to speak,
but Mr.. Musselman is about the
age of Mr.. Myhan, not quite as
old, we believe, and the South
Haven man thought himself not
toe old to represent the 4th

The fact is that Mr. Musselman
is just in the prime of vigorous
manhood, both physically and
mentally. Oh! George, why did

The endorsement given Michi-
CANS senior senator. VIM. Alden
Smith, in the recent primaries
cannot help but be gratifying
to the senator and indicates
something as to what the general
result will be at the election in
November. The following en-
dorsement of Governor Osborn,
published in the Grand Rapids
Herald of recent date, expresses
the universal sentiment of the
of the state:
81 sincerely hope that United
States Senator William Alden Smith
will be reelected. He has substan-
TALLY earned this consideration by his
constituents.
"As has been we'll said, for years he
has been Michigan's minute man at
the capital-always loyal and always
effectively alive to the interests of his
state.
But more than that, his attitude
toward problems of government gen.
orally has been honorable and sane.
81 quite agree with the sentiment
expressed by Senator Beveridge at
Republican banquet in Bay City last
April, when he declared:
"'With the concentration and the
consciousness OF son serving a
mother, has Senator Smith served the
interests of his state
Il can only share the telief With

progress, so has it been 10 the affairs of
our state. Practically since its organiza-
ton it has written the laws OF Michigan,
and its history is indissolubly linked
with the history of the commonwealth.
Michigan Leads In Humanity.
Under republican rule Michigan
leads in the humanity, efficiency and
wisdom of its laws. We have enacted
Statutory laws for the protection OF
working men, women and of minors.
We have enacted laws providing for the
compensation OF injured workingmen.
We have created great and efficient
school system. The cities and villages
Of Michigan enjoy greater measure of
independence In the regulation OF their
local affairs than do those OF any other
state. In the past, as new conditions
have arisen, they have been promptly
met with the sole purpose of furtherng
the common good and insuring justice
and equal opportunity to all. To the
continuance OF this policy we pledge our
party.
From time to time defects have APP
peared in the taxation laws Of the state,
which have been remedied as the occa-
sion arose. At the present time it
appears that certain forms of industrial
enterprises are not contributing their
just share of the public revenues. We
favor empowering and compelling the
assessing officers OF the state to take
into consideration the earning power of
such property in fixing its value for the
purpose OF taxation.

the people must pass before proceeding
to the consideration of any other is the
same old question we have had to decide
every four years for half century and
that is, Are we ready to turn the gov
eminent of the country and with it the
solution Of all these current problems
over to the democratic party.
"If we really desire this end, We are
fortunate this year in having two ways
to do it instead of the one which has
always been open to US heretofore. Ii
we desire to place the democratic party
in power, we can do it either by voting
directly for the Candidates of that party
or by so divicipg the republican vote as
to give the democratic candidates a
plurality. The answer is the same
whichever is employed.
"At the recent election in Vermont
the republican party cast approximately
26, votes, the democratic party
10000 votes and the new party $4,000
votes. The democratic party actually
increased it's vote over former years.
ut is fair, therefore, to assume that
the votes cast for the new party were in
the main diverted from the republican
party. The republicans still had a
plurality Of 5000 over the democrats.
Had the democratic party Of Vermont,
recently proved itself to be in Maine,
such a division 10 the republican ranks
as occurred in Vermont would have
resulted in a democratic victory there

Not a Ruling, But the Law.


i the new law in regard to
the publication of paid reading
notices and the fling of sworn
statement as to owner, publisher,
business manager and editor of
all publications in last weeks
issue, stated that it was in ac-
cordance with a ruling Of the
postmaster general.
Not to find fault with the
statement, or to criticise its
author, but simply as matter
of information, The True North
erner desires to state that the
regulation of which the Courier
speaks is not a "Ruling of the
Postmaster General" but it is
the law. These provisions
together with the provision pro
hibiting the Sunday distribution
of mail are a part of the last
appropriation act passed by the
last congress, and are law the
same as any other act of con-
gress.
The provision referred to may
seem arbitrary and an infringe
ment on the rights of publishers.
The criticism, however, should
not be addressed to the post
master general. He is simply
carrying out the provisions of
the law.

Protection to Workers.
1.-THE republican party believes not
only In the protection of our children
but has always insisted that wage
carriers generally should be the object
of solicitude by every wisely administered
government. The gratitude of the
republican party toward the great army
of workingmen cannot be better shown
than by the passage of Workingmen's
Compensation law and the creation OF an
industrial accident board by our present
state legislature. The enactment of
legislation OF this character typifes the
interest which the republican party has
always shown ia our great army Of
workIngmen.
