here from many other states to enjoy
our excellent fishing, but l do think
Maine ought to have more of the boom

our products couldn't have been ex-
hibted at the big land show held in
Chicago a short time ago. Why our

LOCAL INDUS.
TRIAL SCHOOL
DISCOURAGED

The local Industrial Board of Ed
ucation at a meeting held August
g, 1912 voted unanimously not to
provide for the establishment of an
Industrial School in this city the
coming year
The following reasons are advanced
for the above action:
1. 1t is apparent that the atten-
dance of children under sixteen years
of age in the regular schools, pub
lie and parochial is such as to leave
little call for the establishment of
other schools for children between
the ages of fourteen and sixteen in
this city. The schools in this city
as now established are abundantIy
equipped to take care of all children
below sixteen years of age in this
city.
2. Employers of labor in Grand
Rapids discourage the employment of
children under the age Of is years
especially during the time schools
are in session. Note the following

ed from July 1, 1912 to June 80, 1912

He said when he got in Mis- sissippi he could not ride on the trains with tbe child because the> people were 80 close in pursuit He said he read in the papers of the reward being offered and that he was sorry to give up his fortune.
 '.After taking the cath he told me if I would break jail he would go with me to Moorehead, Ky, where he knew a rich old ranohman who. had a little girl about eleven years old and that we could get five thousand dol lars from him and that we could tran sact this business in the northern states but could not in south Missls- sippi and I told him alright

WtckERSHAM BELIEVES REFORM SHOULD BE WORKED OUT
 WITHOUT RADIcALlsM.
MACHINE RULE IN POLITICS
Evils Can Be Eliminated Without De- parting to Extremes, Says Attor- ney General Before Pennsylvania
 Society Diners.

New York. Dec 14--Geo. w. Wick ersham, attorney general Of the United States, in discussing the tbeofy of constitutional government as ap- piled to this country from the oe- ginning to the present time at he dinner of the Pennsylvania society oA New York tonight entreated reform CTS to consider carefully the causes of their disc0ntent, and to aseeltalh whether the evils may not De chreu without the destruction of cherished
 institutions.
 ''Constitution tinkering is the in- evitable result of reducing constitu- tlons to the category of statutes" said Mr Wickersham in discussing the rapid extension of the Swiss insiltu- tionos. such as the initiative and re- ferendum. the recall of officials ny
 popular vote, and other principles Of 1 like character.
 Like tendencies favored by what he | termed the snew school of political thought" cannot be ignored ne said, because too many people have given
 their adherence in some degree fo. them and 1t becomes the patrloac ] Uuty or every tillAen to dH"i3@r ~ts' fullv the causes of discontent with the existing system of government wAlch

 American cigiiigatii,il
 l Mir. Wickershanl dealt with kse subject of machine rule ia polisEes. which be sai l was given as the cause of evil by sue .: t.ie princlpa' eN- ponents of the new movement back of the demand for the nia.iye ani
 referendum, recall imperative man. date direct election of senatoss, etc. All of these evils Of machtpe iule are perfectly susceptible of correction within the scope of tine st,iizsss s.:s .s.. and without altering it's principles. he said.
 "The evils of the machine rule rose largely by reason of the apathy of the
 individual voter and the dormant con dition of the public conscience. |. was because reas unable and oraotica- ble reforms n passy govnrnnlsat we're deslied by those who proflsed by it that the extreme changes in our gov ernmental system have been so en- enthusiastically adopted
 Tt Is, ! thlnk, safe to say that every one of the evils of modern politics is susceptible of removal within the limits of our established forms of con- stitusional government, witl0uf des- tuction of its representative sapNbll- can character But the needed re- forms cannot be accomplished and perpetuated on one hand by any short cus to political happiness snen as se- formers eager for popular aap'aase would suggest; nor. on the other isand without the aban lonmtur by every citizen of that apa hy wIiah resufss in the face of even T clamrreus pub- lie campaign in iess than a snajoyi.y of the electorate voting lnon prenaT- ations to radiacaily change the fupda- mental law of state"
