department TO hold "A special meeting,
and he suggested that Council have the
Street and Sewer Department instructed
to proceed with the work and Council
will advance the department. the money
necessary next week. These payments
will be made weekly until the bonds
are sold
President George W. Sparks, of the
Street and Sewer Department, asked If

Mr.. Groesbeck's Platform.

Alexander j. Groesbeck, of Detroit,
aspirant for the Republican guberna-
torial nomination, has made known
some of his ideas regarding public
affairs in this State and upon which
he is making his campaign. The main
points are:
Laws and judicial procedure should
be simplifed.
Recall of judges or of judicial de-
cisions opposed.
Legislation should be =" freed of
needless technical formalities.
Appointment not election of univer-
sity regents, members of the state
board Of agriculture and the state
board of education favored.
Labor department should have pow
er to investigate labor troubles and
mediate when the parties consent.
All banking institutions should be
brought under state control and juris-
diction, except those now supervised
by the federal government. This
would eliminate private banks.
State game warden should have
greater powers of making rules and
regulations to protect game and fish.
State forestry department should
have jurisdiction over reforestation
work.
A state board of estimates of three
members should be created to prepare
a state budget for the legislature.
Honor system and reformative
methods should be extended in our
prisons.
State should adopt comprehensive
accounting system.
Complete stenographic reports
should be kept of all legislative de-
bates.
Good roads should be more gener-
ously aided by the state.
Laws should be written to command
the respect and confidence of citizens.

words. one of the signs of a New Dis

Significance of Zionism.
the revival of hope amongst the jew

Zionism, and declare that this return
of hope and faith To the Jews respect
ing their land and the Divine promises
is exactly in line with prophecy. They
point to Isaiah 10 as in process Of full
filment: Comfort we My people, saith
your God. Speak We comfortably to
Jerusalem. and cry unto her. that her
appointed time is accomplished, that
her iniquity is rardoned; for she hath
received OF the Lords hand double for
all her sins"

kiels prophecy of the valley of dry
bones does not refer to literal resur-
rection. but to the revival of ISrael's

of Israel: behold. they say, Our bones
are dried, our hope is lost; we are cut

These Bible students declare that
ST. Paul teaches that the Jewish ma

mael. Hagar's son. Galatians 4:22-31J
AS Hagar and Ishmael were Outcast
for n time, so the Law Covenant and
the Jews have been cut off from Divine
favor only temporarily. Ishmael had
almost tainted for thirst in the will

of the Lord, who pointed out n spring

ii typified Il cleans
ing of the antitypical Temple, due, we
believe. in our day.
According to modern legal usage, It
would be quite improper for one to
enter church edifice in order to in
terfere with the rights of conscience
or the procedure sanctioned by the con-
gregation owning that edifice. III
wrong were being done. and he wish
ed to rectify il. he should either swear
out warrant or call policeman to
witness the infraction of the law and
correct matters. But under the Jewish
Law it was different. Every Jew was
privileged to enforce the Divine Law
respecting blasphemy or sacrilege.
Jesus therefore did only what any
Jew had n right to do. 1t will be no.
ticed that as much as the Scribes and
Pharisees desired to find occasion
against Jesus. they made no objections
TO the procedure here described. Jesus
was within His rights. He was cham
pioning the cause of God and His Tenn
pie.
Jesus intimated that responsibility
for the prevailing condition rested
upon those I'm authority-the Scribes
md Pharisees. For graft and other
considerations they had permitted
Gods House to become place of mer-
chandise-had made religion a cloak.
We fear that religion is still used to
cover selfishness. The Master, who
was especially indignant at such mis-
use OF the House of God, holds the
same sentiments today.

Mr.. Ford Doesn't Know.
From the Bad Axe Tribune. !

From the Bad Axe Tribune.
Henry Ford told President Wilson
last week that there WASH 7 any hard
times in the country.
This is undoubtedly true as far as
the Ford interests are concerned, and
probably that is about as far as Hen
RVS knowledge of the times goes.
When mans cash profits are $3.50
per minute, and he has twenty million
dollars cash in the bank, and when,
according to his own admissions, he
has made rs million dollars in the
past six years, one could scarcely ex-
pect him to cry hard times, or be able
to conceive Of even psychological
depression. !"
Mr.. Ford only sells automobiles for
cash, and by perfectly organized
world sales system has been able to
sell all the cars he could make, until
this year, when the demand slumped
so that he discharged 5000 men. Be-
fore this year it was always boosted
that there were no dull seasons at the
Ford factory.
1t can be imagined also, that Mr..
Ford thinks times are good because
so much of his spot cash comes from
farmers and people Of small means.
But there is another side which very
possibly Mr.. Ford is not familiar with,
and that is the fact that much of the
money which is piling up in his cof-
fers, every day is borrowed at bank
interest rates. Some of it is secured
through mortgages on small farms and
homes and often the purchasers 90
without the necessities of life to get
an auto, not to mention the debts thew
ought to pay before buying such a
luxury.
When a man, or a woman, or a
family gets the automobile fever,
many of them stop at nothing in the
way of their consuming ambition to
ride like their neighbors, and many of
them are satisfied to go in debt for
even Ford. Moreover, there is little
doubt but Mr.. Ford himself has been
the cause of no small part Of the hard
times and scarcity of money, which
we of the country, know exists, be-
cause much of the country has been
literally mOrtgaged to furnish his mil
lions.
Mr.. Ford has drawn half a million
dollars out of Huron county for his
cars. They are no doubt worth the
money, but nearly half of that money
was borrowed, at a safe estimate and
good portion of it still unpaid.
But Mr.. Ford got the cash before
his cars left the shop.
Because people of limited means
buy Ford gas wagons is no evidence of
prosperity.
Mr.. Ford is honest enough but he
doesn't know. He sees only streams
OF gold pouring in while he sits in
his office, guarded closely from the
public and the people by paid retain
ers like Car of Europe or a poten-
tate of Asia.
Henry should come up into the
Thumb and get acquainted with real
life. He should talk with some one
besides money kings, fawning croe-
sus, and bowed worshippers, who have
to be restrained from licking his shoes
and falling PROSTATE in his presence.
Then he might go back and tell the
President the real, new truth, he had
learned.

~ ESUS triumphal entry into Jeru-

- Holy City, He returned to
Bethany. Going to the city the next
morning, He noted fig tree by the
wayside, bearing plenty of leaves. He
approached it, but found no figs. The
good show of leaves was deceptive.
Then He put curse, blight, upon
the tree, declaring that it should not
bear fruit forever, or to completion.
Bible students believe that they now
see deep Specification in this incident.
They believe that the fig tree was
used as type Of the Jewish nation;
and that the blight upon the tree be-
cause of unfruitfulness corresponded
exactly to that pronounced the day be-
fore upon that nation because Of it's
unfruitfulness.
On the day previous, Jesus had said
% the Jewish nation, "Ye shall see
Me no more until that Day" He de-
clared that this tree would be blighted
