lecture win not only profit by the
excellent statements made. but win
use their influence with Others 10 re
medy and prevent The spreading of
tuberculosis. and other malignant dis
eases. DR.. Williams is certainly
an excellent evidence Of the instruc-
tons she gives in righl living. She
IS very plainly gowned, of good strong
healthy, appearance, possessing
great deal Of energy, and vim in her
work. She is certainly good sub
ject in her personal appearance as
we'll as thoroughly well qualified and
equipped for the good work she is
doing. There is no question at all
in our minds, but what there is a
great deal OF carelessness, not only
on the part of parents but the sick
and those who are looking after them
which is largely the cause of malig-
nant diseases spreading. Often times
it is caused by ignorance, and again
by carelessness and thoughtlessness.
Her talk throughout was very inter
esting and instructive and if followed
only in part would be the means Of
accomplishing great good, locally as
well as throughout the state. Her
statement of the number of tuberculo
sis patients in this city was surpris-
ing to her large audience. She stat
ed that a great deal of carelessness
was exhibited by those who We're al
ready afflicted with the disease by
not giving the necessary precaution in
spreading said disease. She compG-
mented the health department of our
city, and stated while they had been
vigilant, some physicians were neg
lectful in reporting cases, while they
We're in doubt as to whether the pa
tient really had tuberculosis or not.
She urged her hearers to do every
thing that was in their power to aid
the movement that is now actively
at work in the state and nation to
stamp out this unfortunate disease,
that was now affecting our country

Grand Rapids certainly has been the

The election notice and informa-
ton to voters as published in the
Grand Rapids Tribune, was only par
TALLY complete. This was due to
the fact that all of the nomination
papers We're not on file with the city
clerk in time to get into said notice.
Therefore this is no reason to believe
that the other candida ties are not in
the field. J. A Cohen, candidate
for Mayor, did not file his papers IN
til Wednesday afternoon, and he want
all of his friends to know that he is
a candidate for that office and will
be on election day And he don't
want his friends to believe for a min
ute that be has withdrawn from the
race, He is very active candidate
and IS doing everything possible to
insure his election. We presume what
is true of Mr.. Cohen is also true OF
all other candidates whose names
We're not printed in that same notice.
We cannot understand why the city
clerk, makes it his business never to
recognize the Daily or Weekly Repor-
ter in the publication Of any Of these
official notices. While neither the
Daily or Weekly are the Official city
paper, they certainly have a large
number OF readers, who don't take
either one of the other papers. We
cannot understand why both of the
Reporters are neglected by the city
administration of affairs. Perhaps
they think that the readers of the
Daily and Weekly Reporters are not
interested in matters political. We
shall look up the election law and find
out whether they can thus overlook
the Daily and Weekly Reporters with
such official notices.

THE THREAT OF A COAL STRIKE.

The success or the employees IN
the Lawrence strike has 70 doubt
given the coal miners new hope. The
coal operators viii be very wise if
they reflect carefully on the things
that have happened in the Massachu-
sets textile city. Let them stop to
think that the result was not merely
the granting Of the demands Of the
workers, but the dissemination Of a
wide spread hostility toward the en-
ploying corporations
This is examination day for trusts
and corporations, great and small.
The American people is the court OF
final resort. and few friends at
court are going TO be necessary when
the final award is made up.
The American people know by this
time what a coal strike really means.
They had no conception of its sig
niffcance up to Dec. 1, 1902 With
a Enthusiastically happy go lucky
manner they went about their bust
ness up to the very beginning Of colo
weather that year, with little idea
that the results would be serious.
In almost any Northern city, coal
could be bought that falI up to about
October, at an advance Of a dollar
or two a ton. And yet people took
things with such calm, good nature
that they were caught in the crue
trap which this unique industrial
quarrel had set for them.
No one has ever guessed how man!
sick, frail, aged persons lost then
lives through the sufferings of the
winter of 1902. The wealthy sought
sunshine in the South or lived il no
tells. But the wheels of civilization
came pretty near stopping among
the poor.
The ability to produce fire in a col,
climate is a test that differentiantes
the civilized man from primitive man
According to this test the Northern
United States, in the inability o.
its government to act, went bach
beyond the Tower of Babel in DARK
antiquity.
If an innkeeper on a cold night Oh
a lonely road, should decline to admit
guests out of the storm because he
could not agree with his help as tc
the price of their labor, his door.
would be battered down, and his pa1
try raided
The day the miners go out that day
the resources of law, justice, and
government should be set to work
to prevent another renewal of the
futile sufferings of 1902.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH NOTES

The Sunday school Of this church
has entered into a friendly contest
with five other Methodist schools
in this part of the state, the points
of contest being attendance at the
school session and the morning wor-
ship. punctuality, and the offerings
of the school; the basis of credits
being the increase over the record
of last year for the same period of
time. Considerable enthusiasm is
created, especially as we have car
ried off some of the first points thus
far. The record is given to each
school every Sunday, so we are able
to keep tab on each other.
