With the coming of cold weather
owners of horses should see that their
animals are well blanketed when left
standing on the streets or in the open.
Every winter complaints are filed re-
garding the leaving of horses on the
streets in cold weather. This winter
drastic measures are to be taken by the
humane society. 1t is proposed to keep
in stock at certain place number of
good warm blankets and every time a
horse is foudd standing unblanketed in
the street to care for the animal A
blanket with the words Cared for by the
Humane Society will be placed over the
animal, and if that is not enough the
horse will be placed in livery stable,
the owner to pay the charges. A war;
rant will also be issued for the owner
and he will be prosecuted to the extent
of the law, which provides for severe
punishment. In the past there has
been too much said on this matter and
too little action taken.-Petoskey In

CAN SECURE LIBRARY
School Districts are Able to
Have Good Books for
Nothing.

Any school district which does not
have an excellent library in its school
house for the use of the boys and girls
can lay the blame to an unprogressive
teacher or school board as the Michigan
State Library will send a library of
fifty volumes to any school district
which will pay the freight and carriage
from Lansing and return. AS the cost
of the most distant district is not more
than $1.25, the travelling libraries are
available for all. The books may be
kept for six months and then returned
and new set secured. AS the books
are well selected and of a type which
appeal to children, they make an i'm
portant equipment for the schools.
Framed copies of the best master
pieces will also be loaned by the State
Library under similar conditions. Ap-
plications for both the libraries and the
pictures should be addressed to Mrs.
Mary c. Spencer, State Librarian, Ian

JUDGE AND politician.

The most inspiring thing about the Sui
ger impeachment is Judge Cullen. Few
could read the reports of the trial with
out noticing that most of the questions
raised thus far have been decided by the
opinion of one man unanimously backed
by the votes of the forty-eight senator's
and eight other Judges of the court of
appeals. Though the New York Senate
is not noted for idealism these opinions
have been of the very highest and most
dsnterested character. The personality
promiscuous court must be possessed OF
| unusual power.
| Chief Judge Edgar NJ. Cullen is de-
scribed as a Brooklyn democrat, nomin-
ated first by republicans and later en-
dorsed by the democrats, entirely free
! from Tammany influence and above ali
! political chickering's and chickering's. He
was colonel of a regiment in the Civil
War at the age of nineteen. and is ex-
tremely vigorous to-day. Indeed it Is
said that he is the only member OF the
court of appeals who sits in every case
and that in tho present Impeachment
proceedings the chief Judge works harder
than any other man.
| Judge Cullen is a great lawyer by ma
| ture and training, a man with his head
near enough the clouds to be above all
partisanship and prejudice and beyond
even the suspicion of these things. When
it became known that he was to preside
| the Suzer advocates We're greatly relieved
because they knew the action would be
fair and deliberate. And whether or no,
Murphy's camp liked it. they could not
find faultmith so fair Judge. His abil-
ity shows in the simplicity and direct.
ness of his decisions. 1t is said that sew
| cral times when the whole high cour,
of procedure Judge Cullen settled the
matter IN so simple and natural manner

inevitable that there was nothing further
to be said
