Dark Problem.

There are those who are dreadfully
intolerant of ignorance about New
York. The other day, for instance, a
lady, obviously from many hundred
miles away, boarded a Broadway car
at Times square.
Does this car go to Third avenue?"
she asked.
A look composed of equal parts Of
pity, rage and disgust spread over
the conductors face.
will you please tell me, lady, how
this car could get onto Third ave-
nue?" he asked coldly, as soon as he
could enunciate.

a broad discussion of the peace

vocated by President Taft in his Sag

Congressman Kinds spoke on ma

revenue is free trade only the speak

it sounds when fiippaptly rolled off

Tor Q Of Bees on Him.

Fred Lossey was badly injured at
the sugar factory, Sunday. when he
jumped into the sluice into which
beets are run for washing, several tons
of beets falling on and around him,
but the sluice being such shape that
the weight was not entirely on his
body. His left thigh was fractured
and his left hip dislocated. He was
employed undermining and forcing the
beets into the sluice and the slide
came before he could get out of the
way. but he realized that his only hope
was tn jump into the sluice. He was
taken to his home on Frederick street
and will recover.

Republican s..au.. ats. JOHNS.

st. Johns, Feb. Formal an
nouncement OF the candidacy OF State
Senator Coleman c. Vaughan, of St
Johns, for Republican nomination
for secretary OF state, and a number
OF brilliant speeches by leading Re-
publicans OF state and nation were
features of the third annual banquet
of the Clinton County Republican
club Wednesday night. United StaIes
Senator VIM. Alden Smith, Gov.
Chase S. Osborn, Congressman Ash
or w. Kinds, of Maine; Congressman
Fordney OF Saginaw, and Lieut.. Gov.
John @. Ross, were the speakers.
About 700 attended the banquet, the
crowd being so large that an overflow
banquet was required in neighbor-
Ing hall.
I'm his Introductory remarks VIM.
M. Smith, president of the club, paid
high tribute to Gov. Osborn, refer
ring to him asa '.:Man of the people,
who is working heart and soul for
this state and whose heart and head
are in the right place." Adding, MIR.
Smith said, There is no longer any
criticism in this state that the COVER
nor Of Michigan Is not the governor.
The present governor Is the real gov
ernor OF the state and takes his ord
ers from no one."
Ovation for Osborn
Gov. Osborn was the first speaker
being given a hearty ovation. The
governor referred to the guests OF
honor, of Congressman Kinds, of
Maine. Governor Osborn said his
fame had preceded him as the chief
engineer of congress
before his election from Reeds old
district. OF Congressman Fordney
the governor said: "I'm for him,
you're for him, and he's a good man
in Washington, and if he succeeds in
keeping the beet sugar industry III
Michigan protected as ,he has, he
should be kept in Washin gton as long
as he lives. We want the people of
the United States to know that Mich
igan intends to guard this industry
jealousy and courageously, and that
this state is back Of him." (Great APP
plause.)
Mr.. Osborn paid high tribute TO
Senator Smith and spoke of their diff
fering views on reciprocity as an
honest difference of opinion. Lieut..
Gov. Ross was referred to as mighty
capable and fair-minded man, and If
the people ever promote him they
will find him worthy.
Frank C. Martindale, an announc-
ed candidate for governor, was also
referred to-. "He has perfect right to
be a candidate" / can say this for

of him, but he has been square; he

his general remarks, Gov. Osborn
said:

Big Breweries i'm Politics

Declaring it not to be his wish TO
make an expression binding upon
the Republican party but that his
statement represented his Individual
and personal view, the governor
went TO the main subject Of his talk,
that of brewery domination.
81 have recently taken a stand in
opposition to threatened brewery
domination in Michigan politics. In
my message / speared this once and
1t has been wriggling ever since.
Whether ! ever get 10 votes for any
otflce or not want to say to you that
9 vicious evil, worse even than black
slavery, is the artificial stimulation
of the beer business by big Detroit
breweries and Others"
The governor defined brewery
domination by instancing Detroit,
where of its 1900 saloons 900 are
brewery owned, where these saloons
are required to pay dollar extra for
beer, and other similar burdens are
imposed, and all solely in interest OF
brewery ownership. Sooner or later
Michigan has got to clean louise with
the brewers or great harm VIII come
to its citizenship. While We are
talking Of conservation, let us con.
serve our boys and girls" dec'arco
the governor amid great storm of
applause.
Brewer Voight, when he sold out
to an English syndicate, transferred
100 Detroit saloon keepers and sa.

] wish that it could be true in regard

The governor referred to his reason
for not calling a special session to
consider the important recommends
tions of the tax and workingmen's
compensation commissions. These
reports are Of great Importance and
the governor believed their recon-
mendations should be thoughtfully
considered by all, and that candidates
for the legislature this fall should be
made to make a statement of their
views. 81 do not believe in artificial
forcing of legislation or hot house
laws" declared the governor, cor in
calling special sessions to pass legis-
lation and then say, I did it. q"
Gov. Osborn spoke at some length
on the work of the liability commits
sion and highly praised it's report
and the law recommended, referring
to the great benefit it would not only
confer on labor but also on capital.

Some twenty minutes later Boggs'
came in sight. He experienced . mo-
ment OF doubt-doubtless Fentress
had been there and gone! 1t was .
hid eous thought and the Judge
groaned. Then at the other end OF the
meadow near the woods he distin-
guished several men. Fentress and his
friends beyond question. The Judge
laughed aloud. In spite Of everything
he was keeping his engagement, he
was %plucking his triumph out OF the
very dregs OF failure. The Judge
threw himself over the fence. a cor
ner Of the quilt caught on n OF the
rails; he turned to release 1t, and in
that instant two pistol shots rang out
sharply in the morning air.

that had been thoughtful of Pegioe-
he would not forget him-the City
Tavern should continue to enjoy his
patronage. II would be something for
Pegloe to boast OF that Judge Slocum
Price Turberville always made his
place headquarters when In Raleigh.
Feeling that he had already conferred
wealth and distinction on the fortu-
nate Pegloe the Judge thrust his fat
legs over the side OF his bed and stood
erect. STOPPING he reached for his
clothes. he confidently expected to
find them OF the floor. but his hand
merely swept an uncarpeted waste.
The Judge was profoundly astonished.
Maybe I've got 'em on. | don't re.
call taking them on" he thought
hopefully. He moved uncertainty In
the direction of the window, where
the light showed him his own bare ex
tremities. He reverted to his orig
inal idea that his clothes were scat
tered about the floor.
