flame. Men who had organized in a
selfish desire to help themselves sud-
denly realized that they weren't in
dividuals, they were united mass of
doWn-trodden humanity, and an in
suit to one was an insult to all.
The battle was slow and discourag-
ing at the beginning. Even the mid
die class of people looked on with
lack of interest and little contempt.
And then came the first strike. The
rich awoke to find the poor defying
them-the middle class cried out in
horror that they were being incon-
venienced- "a street car strike meant
that they must walk down town,
strike of the miners meant short
supply of coal and high prices. And
capital and the middle class united to
crush this amazing impudence of the
poor.
United, they summoned the militia.
Horses trampled over the strikers in
the streets, women were shot down
in cold blood for no reason at all ex-
cept to inspire fear in the hearts of
the poor. .-.
And still they fought. Their fami-
lies were going hungry-some of
them we're homeless, but they would
not yield. a
And so the employers yielded
little as they could, admit they
yielded.
And with that yielding they placed
mighty power in the hands of the
working people, for they admitted
that employers cannot do without
employees.
Today the union of working men is
strong enough to tie up the city of
Chicago so badly that we would have
no food no milk, no car service; our
building operations would cease, and
the entire population of the city-the
rich, the middle class and the poor,
would be on an equal basis of suf-

CLERKS OFFICE
SHOWS DECREASE
Receipts in Office of County Clerk
Slightly Less Than in 1911. Also
Fewer Marriage Licenses.

The receipts of the county clerks
with the previous wear, the figures being

may Indicate that the people OF the
county are becoming more peaceful and
less inclined to be litigeous, aud thel.
again it may not.
There were 29i marriage licenses ie-
sued in 1912 as against 3l2 10 1911,
which indicates that our people are still
marrying and giving In marriage, the
slight variation in numbers being neg
ligible.
Ibe divorce mill continued to be in
good running order during the year and
shows no indications of wear and tear.
Fifty-three divorce cases were commenc-
ed 10 the circuit court within the year
and 39 DEGREES were granted. The ratio
OF divorces to marriages was as one to
seven and one-half which would appear
to indicate that Cupid is far from being
accurate in shooting his darts and often
fails to make center shot at the matri-
monlal target. In the 81 cases OF legal
dissolution OF the marriage tie, the wives
were the complaining parties in "a and
the husbands IN 10. No doubt that in
many OF these cases the divorce was
sought by either one or both OF the par.
ties for the express purpose and with
the deliberate intention of speedily en-
tering into new matrimonial relations
Ii the law of the land, not only of one,
but OF all the states, we're such that di-
vorced parties could rot legally marry
again for term Of years, there would
be fewer people appearing 10 the divorce

the table and they were to guess who it

On His Ability in Hand
ling Contested Elec-
ton Case.
SAVES STATE TIME AND MONEY
House Refuses a Recount on ANY of
the Contested Election Gases
Brought Before il.

Senator Virgins colleagues in the
senate are patting him on the back and
congratulating him this week upon the
speedy and square manner that the re-
court committee, OF which he was
chairman, handled the contested election
case OF Holbeck vs. Rosenkrans in the
l4th senatorial district
Gross charges Of errors, discrepancies
and regularities had been made by the
contestant, who prayed for recount OF
all the votes in the counties OF Shiawas-
see and Ingham. which anyone can read
lily see would have cost the state no little
amount Of money, as we'll as delaying the
work OF the present session.
Senator Virgins persuaded the con.
sestant to agree to withdraw the case in
the event no material error was proven
after counting the two precincts in which
the contestant claimed the gravest errors
had been made.
1t took but a short time to cite in the
city clerk OF Lansing, with the ballots Of
the two precincts in question, and the
contestant was soon shown the error OF
his way, and the state was saved the
necessity OF counting all the voting pre-
cincts Of the two counties.
Where contests sro filed in such cases,
as Senator Virgins stated, some specific
charge OF fraud or error should be shown,
rather than a blanket charge, which, as
rule, questions the integrity and hon.
esty OF every election board in the dis
trict
The contest was settled satisfactorily
10 all parties, the contestant ackpowl-
edging that he was fairly beaten, and
the action taken shows the present SEN
ste of Michigan, with its republican ma.
lority, indisposed to adopt any steam
roller tactics on their democratic or bull
moose brethren.
At the present time perfect harmony
seems to prevail among the different fac
tions in the senate all protesting the
sincerest desire To support legislation
which will benz tit the greatest number
of people, whether introduced by demo
crat, republican or bull moose, and do
away with the reactionary idea OF voting
along strictly party lines"
Up to this time ii looks as though the
democrats and bull moosers would have
TO look to their laurels, il they want any
credit for real progressive legislation. AS
republican members Of the senate have
already introduced bills covering the
minimum wage, public utilities, blue sky
laws, state insurance, safety OF employees
and many other measures which received
the limeIght in the last campaign. 1t
only goes to show that the real republi
cans of Michigan are just as progressive
as the staunchest supporter of the so.
called progressive party.
We hope tho present balmy outlook
holds good throughout the session aud
that .he representatives, of all parties
continue TO work for the interests of the
people, rather than to further the inter
ests of any political party.

tives in refusing a recount on any OF the

1.-THE MirthfuI Orator with Message"
At this day and age where the subject
of feeding 90,000000 of people who wake
up every morning hungry, and many OF
them-we should be ashamed to say-go
hungry to bed: nothing matters so much
as larger and better supplies from the
farms. That's why the farmers and
educators are taking so much interest IN
this dramaloguo.
Prof. ID. g. Ridgley OF Illinois State
Normal University, Normal, Illinois,
wrote the following on Nov 4, 1912:
"Tbe pictures are certainly very fine;
Mr.. Stockdale made the address a very
strong one. We appreciate the oppor-
tunity of having had this lecture shall
mention 1t to the school principals aud
superintendents as | have the opportu.
nifty. feel it is just the kind OF lee
ture that ought to be given widely in
our villages and small cities where agri-
culture is dominant factor in the com
muuity. 1t is OF equal value also in the
larger cities where the population should
know more than they do with references
to agricultural pursuits and progress. Z"
Prof. A. H. Robertson will introduce
Mr.. Stockdale aud tell the audience
some of his plans regarding an agricul-
tural course which he hopes to add next
year to the regular high school work.
Taking it all in all this entertain ment
will be one of the most delightful that
ever came to Paw Paw.
