We direct attention to the article
rom the Abbeville Press and Banner
written by Mr.. w W. Bradley on the
Special Sc2ool Mania" There is
orce IN what he says, but t2e is mis-
taken in at least one thing. The law
does limit the time when an election
may be held. 1t is true, though, that
here is no definite manner of finding
cut just what property is in a par
ticular school district, especially on
the line. Many people do not know
themselves in w>at sczool district
their property is located The law re-
'.uires each man to state in what
school district he resides when he
makes his return, but as We say,
many times he does not know himself.
'Hhe school district should be tie tax
district, as Mr. Bradley says, and We
recommended tat some two years
go In fact the whole school law
needs to be recast. But when you
come to do it the school teacher thinks
ze knows how it should be done, and
he lawyer and t. e farmer think they
know better how it s&ould be done
The truth of the matter is the school
teacher is too theoretical to cast the
.aw, and the lawyer and the farmer
and the others know little about what
s needed. TIE thing to do is to reach
compromise and get some of all
classes on a committee to go over the
Whole situation. Conditions in school
Eork and school application, like every
hing else, have undergone great
changes since the present laws were
made and they s@ould be remade to
meet present day conditions.

MANY DOORS TO
BUSINESS PLACES
WERE FOUND OPEN

An interesting fact regarding the
lack of care on the part OF many busi-
ness men in locking the doors to their
establishments at night developed in
the report OF nightwatchman, Lewis
T.. Granger to the common council last
Friday night. In all eighteen doors
were found unlocked during the last
month. Most Of them were in the
rear Of the buildings, but few were
front doors. They belong to thirteen
different businesses Of the city, repres-
enting almost as many different lines
OF trade,
The report reveals the fact that the
merchants are getting careless in the
matter Of guarding their places Of
business against possible easy theft.
It Is barely probable that some Of
these doors were opened by petty
shoplifters In any event the matter
OF "a final trip 20 all OF the openings Of
the buildings before leaving for the
night to see that they are securely
locked would be a wise precaution for
each merchant to incorporate into his
daily duties

CITY MAY FACE SUIT
FOR A LITIGATION FEE

Members Of the common council
Friday evening entered into a general
discussion of the advisability OF the
city paying the litigation fee of T.. NJ.
Davis OF Grand Rapids for counsel in
the case of the City of Belding and the
Belding Base Ball association VS..
Chas Briggs which was carried into
the Ionia circuit court last summer.
While no vote was taken ii was the
general sense of the council that the
bill, amounting to about eighty-nine
dollars should not be paid by the city
Davis has threatened to bring suit
either against the city or the Base Ball
association for the amount of the
claim The latter body is inclined to
disregard the claim on the grounds
that Davis was retained by the city
authorities and not the Base Ball as
sociation to push the case against
Briggs

GEO. Il. DYE ASKS
VOTE RECOUNT Of
THE ENTIRE COUNTY
NAY ALSO RAISE NATTER OF
ALLEGED IRREGULARITIES
IN ORLEANS

There is still considerable question
as to who will fill the office Of register
OF deeds for Ionia county for the next
two years. On the face OF the re-
turns Frederick Pitt OF Orleans Is
elected on the republican ticket over
his democratic opponent George II.
Dye OF Ionia by a plurality of three
votes.
But Dye is not going to let the mat
tor rest. According To information
from Ionia he has this morning de-
manded recount of the vote OF the
entire county. If he fails to win out
as result of this recount he will try
10 nose in by alleging gross irregulari-
ties in the vote of Orleans township.
According TO Dyes friends twelve
unregistered voters were allowed to
cast their ballots in Orleans town
ship and IL is also alleged that there
are a number OF illegal registrations.
Other Irregularities are claimed to
have existed in Orleans.
1t is alleged that in the course of
the election day events one OF the
members OF the election board became
intoxicated and was unable to carry
ont his duties. 1t is also claimed that
late in the day the. board adjourned
and assisted the intoxicated member
10 a place of rest and while absent
from the polling place on this errand
took time TO eat their suppers.
When they returned to the polls il
is said, a bystander was summoned
without due J 10 assist in counting
the votes.
After an election board is in session
the law forbids it to adjourn until the
votes are counted and the results,
signed by each member OF the board,
have been placed in regular envelope
provided for the purpose and the en-
velope scaled.
II is claimed that the results were
not signed by the absent member of
the board at Orleans and of course
that the party summoned in TO assist
had no authority to sign.
