JUSTICES DIRECTLY
OPPOSITE EACH OTHER

Judge EDWIN. Pomainyille moved to
day into his new quarters in the
MacKinnion building The court
room is large and has windows in
the north and east sides overlooking
the river.
The other room, used as q real
estate and private office overlooks
the river On the north side. The
stairway nearest the bridge opens
directly into the offices
Judge Roberts on the east side
and Judge PomainVille ON the west
side now Lave offices which are di-
rectly opposite each other across
the river.
A system of signals was inaugurated
ed this morning between the two Of
fees. Ir. c. C. Rowley, Judge Poma-
inyIlle and 8 newspaper man used
a mirror as a heilograph,t to attract
the attention Of Judge Roberts. Now
it certainly looks bad for the crini-
nal element when these two justi--
ces can communicate silently across
the river by means of old father
Sol.

THE FUTURE OF DECORATION
DAY.

The spirit of Decoration day ex-
ercises, held May 30, throughout the
Northern states in honor of the hero
&c dead. has vastly changed of re-
cent years. Once there was the
gIamor of crowds, a stalwart parade
OF former soldiers, and enthusiastic
gatherings of citizenship.
The depletion of the ranks of the
veterans by death gives each recur-
ring Decoration day a deeper note
of sadness. The spirit of sectional
triumph and bitterness has gone, for
which all are thankful. But in the
place of the sturdy marchers of 20
years ago, there is but a fragment
left, who usually proceed to the GENE
teries in carriages and automobiles.
The surviving soldiers urgently enr
treat their tOwnspeople to give these
commemorative exercises, the support
OF a dignifieG -a,ssemblage. But too
often the veterans seem to have pass
ed from the center of the stage. The
younger generation know of their
deeds only through dull history books
Ball games and cut door life draw
| the crowds. while these patriotic ser
vices are commonly not we'll attend
sd. Similarly the observance of the
various Memorial days of the South
em states takes ON a deeper note
Of pathOs each year.
All who admire the heroism shown
in the Civil War will wish to see
the exercises in honor of the Blue
and the Gray continued after the
last veterans have gone But in a
few years there will be few or none
who feel directly responsible for
carrying On this work
In some towns, various churches
and societies have already organized
to observe this occasion, in place of
the veterans who have gone. Graves
of federal and confederate dead a
like are decorated. Honor is done
10 all who made these sacrifices of
the past, and Il similar spirit of self
| devotion in future is HIrged. Certain
" Decoration day should not be
suffered to lapse as the two armies
depart ON their long journey, and
there need to be some observances
other than those at the ball park

WHAT A NEWSPAPER DOES FOR
A TOWN.

The value of a live, energetic news
paper to any town or city is absO--
luteIy impossible of estimation. There
are so many ways that the good
newspaper promotes the interest OF
the city and the Individual citizens
where it is published that it would
be like trying TO number the sands OF
the sea to emumerate them 1t is the
true friend of the city or town and
every resident thereof and stands
ready to fight the battles even OF
individual citizens in a way that NO
other agency has either the nerve OF
the courage to do. 1t stands us a
great bulwark Of defense for the city
and for the people.
But this is only one feature.
There's another that is seldom Civ
en- much Thought and that is that the
newspapers Of amy town or city are
a paying investment for such place
as Individual institutions People we
come with open arms and loud 'ac--
claim amy factory costing few
thousand dollars and they think the
Eowu is wonderfully fortunate In Sc
ring a plant that will give employ
lent to a number of people. Some
times they even put up a bonus to
secure such a plant. There are many
newspapers, which give, employment,t to
a number of people and nothing is
Thought of it. The money that comes
to the paper is spent in the town or
city where it is published None OF
it goes away except for ink and pa
per and some other small supplies
that cannot be bought AT home. The
newspaper is essentially a home insti
tuition 1t works day and night to
build up its home town ami state. and
spends its money freely with home
people 1t is published ON strict
business principles these days, and
that is the reason for the growth, and
prosperity that has come TO many
papers during the past few years
AS a business enterprise, a good
newspaper is about the best industry
that amy town has. and its publishers
ask nothing but square deal
The Daily Reporter pays out every
Saturday for help alone $50, which
is distributed largely again among
the business men of Grand Rapids
This don't include what the proprie--
tor spends for his family. Should
this amount be diminished?

chant and Ward B. Stillwell, county
clerk were escorted about the city
by Mayor J. A. Cohen and City Emgi-
neer E. I. Philleo. The gentlemen ex-
pressed themselves as well pleased
with the brick paving and were very
much interested in the Oiling of the
streets. Many questions about the
effect of the oil as a dust proven
tive were asked by different mem
bers of the committee from Wautoma
The mayor and city engineer took
the committee through several OF
the manufacturing plants.
Passing up First street, Mayor
Dignan remarked that they had a bet
ter Jail lin Wautoma than the one in
Grand Rapids. Mayor Cohen told
them that probably they needed it,
but that our Jail was plenty large e.
