TIE democrats of the township
in caucus last Saturday, paid the
nominees on the Republican
township ticket "a deserving
compliment. The republican
ticket was nominated before the
deliberations of the democratic
caucus began, and the sentiment
seemed TO prevail that they were
all good men, men in whom the
people of the township had con-
fidence and it, would be folly to
place another ticket in nomina-
ton. Our democratic friends
are to be commended on their
good judgment and the nominees
on the republican ticket con-
graduated on the confidence
which has been reposed in them,
and the honor they so richly
merit.

THERE will be but one ticket
in the field next Monday, and no
contests for township officers.
There probably will be a large
vote however, as the Good Roads
question is the all absorbing
topic, and every voter not only
in Paw Paw but in the county
should express his opinion on
this great question. It is a great
question, and one on which there
is a wide divergence of opinion.
The True Northerner has en-
deavored to be eminently fair in
the matter and has given space
freely and cheerfully to the
arguments both for and against.
Personally we favor the county
system of roads, as we have been
convinced that under this system
roads would actually be built
and would eventually be a bless
ing to the county. 1t is a pro
gressive movement, and natural
ly it meets with persistent OPP
position. 1t may not be approx
ed by the voters next Monday,
but the people will be better
posted on the question, and even
though it does not carry, it will
still be a live issue and the
chances are the County system
will be in operation in s. every
county in the state, sooner or
later.

THERE will be no Presidential
Primary in Michigan this year
There has been enough opposl-
ton ir the senate to etfectually
block Governor Osborn in his
efforts to give the people OF
Michigan an opportunity to eX
press their wishes as to who
should head the National ticket.
1t is to be regretted that such
is the fact. The overwhelming
sentiment not only in Michigan
but throughout the nation favors
a Presidential Primary. The
True Northerner has on many
occasions expressed its opinion
that the Primary system should
prevail in the nomination Of all
candidates for all Offices, and we
still maintain that the system
should be in force from the
nomination of a village ticket to
the nomination of president.
No matter what the sentiment
may be in a convention, county,
state or national, or who the
nominees may be, the great mass
of people Of the country feel that
they have not had an opportun-
ity to express their preference
Whatever faults may exist in the
Primary system, the fact re-
mains that the people want it,
they should have it, and in time
will get it. Again we say that it
is to be regretted that Michigan
could not have had a real Presi-
dental Primary in effect this
year.

SUPERVISOR NJ. II. YOUNG has
just reasons to feel proud of his
record as township Official. He
has been supervisor now for
three years, and again has the
satisfaction of being renominated
without opposition in his own
party, and will be elected with
out an opposing candidate in any
other party. 1t is an honor he
richly deserves, and record
any man might we'll feel proud
of.

THERE is one feature of next
Mondays proceedings that
should not be overlooked, and
that is the matter of enrolment.
April LIST is the last enrolment
day previous to the August

parties must participate and ex-
press their preference for the
various candidates for office.

PARENTS ATTENTION.

No matter what heritage you leave
your child will some day be dependent
on Self. If left with a fortune already
earned, the habit formed in early years
will determine how wisely that fortune
will be spent or used.
The best object lesson your child car
have in the care of money and its earn
ing power is a savings account with
some good savings bank.
The services of this bank are at your
disposal. One dollar will start an &C

At the Bird Store Window.

The bird store window is an unfail-
ing attraction to many people. Per
haps it attracts men more than wom-
en-, but it is magnet that draws all
children.
Let small boys or girls discover a
bird store and they halt and linger
long, wondering over or admiring the
strange or beautiful feathered crea-
lures within, and children walking
with their mother if they should spy
this window are sure to tug her to-
ward it to give them chance to look
in. The bird store window interests
all children, as it appears to interest
also many grown men who may be
drawn to it by natural fondness for
birds and animals, or be attracted by
the novel or striking character Of the
exhibit on view.
Here, for instance, in this window
is a white peacock, a remarkable bird
seen with it's plumage in whatever
form. AS with characteristic delibera-
ton it walks about with it's long tail
feathers folded and trailing people
stop to look at it, and then let it raise
and spread its great white fan and
many more halt and gather in crowd
around the window-NeW York Sun.
