PERPETUAL MOTION

Notwithstanding the fact that the asylums are filled with those who be- lieve in solving the problem of perpet ual motion, there are vast numbers, who are not yet in the asylums, but who believe that they can lift them selves over the fence by their boot straps.
 Nothing can be run without power Action and reaction are equal and op- posite. Every effect has a cause and the man who does not recognize these principles of philosophys in poor shape to add much to the sum total of human knowledge.
 The argument that saloons make a town belongs to the same category of blooming imbecility as the argument
 that machines can run without power. Saloons build nothing constructive. They make Wrecks. Their mission is to destroy. They never built up a com
 munity in the world that was worth saving.
 | So far as Arizona is concerned there are three things that build up a town i Mining is one, agriculture another and
 manufacturing a third. A health resort
 can be built up without the three 1 named, but no one would have the hardihood to advocate a saloon for a 1, health resort for a health, resort for the
 saloon is the acknowledged foe of
 health
 As a machine must have power to
 make the wheels go round, so a com
 munity must have something to pro- duce an income to make it grow. Min ing produces an income, so does farm 1 ing, so does manufacturing. Not on' of these things grows up about sa-
 loon, but the saloon grows up about al
 these things.
 The saloon settles down in a com munity, not to build, but to destroy

to produce, but to consume. Not as a worker but as parasite. Not to add to the general store but to feed on the general store. Not to add to the labor of others, but to absorb the labor of others
 You can travel the world over and you cannot find single locality worthy of survival that has been built up by the saloon. You can find thousands that have been wrecked by the saloon. The saloon is always and everywhere a parasite. It belongs to the bed-bug family; the chief objection to it is the way to make it's living.
 The saloon is a Wart, wen, a fun gus growth on the body polite It is an insect that devours all and adds nothing. It never gets to a commun- ity with the idea of adding anything to 1t, but with the sole idea of taking from it. Wherever the forage is best | there is where the flies gather The saloon lives off of most other enter prices create.

 Of course the least that Winkelman could do would be to educate the chil- dren of the miners that it has bled to { the last dollar But the town does not do that. It does not own a school 1 house.

with as they saw fit. Many of RiePs
 accomplices were sentenced to i'm
 prisonment and four to death.
 The trial of Riel began on July 20, 1885, and it required eleven days
 to hear all the evidence, sum up the
 case and pronounce a verdict. On the last day of the trial, August 1, Riel himself addressed the jury, and 1 he presented such a pathetic appeal for his life that it brought tears to their eyes but it did not save him. Riel was to have been hung on September IS, but his counsel sue | ceeded in securing a postponement, and the execution did not take place until November 16. Riel met his death bravely. The prisoner decided 1 only moment before starting for l the scaffold that he would not make a speech. This was owing to the earnest solicitations of both of the | priests who attended him.
 1 The execution of Riel was followed at Battleford by the hanging of ten | Indian chiefs for atrocities committ- | ed during the Riel rebellion, and in each instance for murders committed while Rieps conviction was for high treason against the Queen of Great | Britain and Ireland. Nor was the
 death of Riel the end of all the trou- | ble, for the French Canadians, es-
 pecially of Quebec and Montreal, for | q long time were very much wrought
 up oyer the execution of their chief
 and it was a number of years before
 they were entirely pacified.

 History
TRIAL OF LOUIS REEL

Two French Canadians, by the name of Louis Riel figure prominently ir two different insurrections in Canada during the nineteenth century. The first occurred in 1S49-a revolt princi pally against the Hudson Bay Com pany.
 Louis Riel, the second insurgent. when still young man became the head of a movement of the native people to resist the establishment of Canadian authority in the territories. He first began his revolutionary tactics on December s, 1869, and from that time on until 1885 he frequently found himself in the hands of the law.
 Finally Riel left Canada and set tied in Montana, where in the sum mer of 1884 deputation of half breeds invited him to lead them in an agitation for their rights in Manito- ba. In the following March he was able to get a sufficient force about him that he established a provisional government in the northwest
 On May the Dominion troops met the rebels at Batouche's Cross ing where after warm fighting Riel was put to flight. It was here that Captain Howard, an American agent for a firm in the manufacturing of Calling guns, was of great service to the Dominion troops doing more execution with the Gatlng gun than all the volunteers with their rifles
 Riel was finally captured on Thurs | day afternoon, May 14, by three scouts four miles north from Ba- touche, He said he was on his way to the Dominion camp to give him. self up, and claimed that his pa : pers would show that he was not l the real Header of the rebellion.
 Riers conduct while in prison in duced many to believe he was in sane. A few days after his capture he was sent to Regina for trial, il having been decided to turn hin over to the civil authorities
 The trial began July 20 befor, Justice Henry Le June and Stipen- Giary Magistrate Richardson Rie was confident of acquittal and wa: very self-possessed until the evi HchNO Dt5hH to ttll lltdNllN dSdlnS him. and then he adopted the tac tics of Guiteau, the assassin of Pre- sident Garfield, interrupting the pro ceedings with interrogations and act ing altogether as though he wa crazy. Riel also knew the feelings of tn French Canadians towards him an, he did not believe, in the face o this, that the government would dar
 hang him. He was very much sur prised when he was found guilt
 and condemned to death. but wa
 buoyed up with the hope that h !: would be reprieved and given a Tiff
 sentence.
 At the conclusion of the trial a
 appeal was at once taken to the su
 preme court, which affirmed the yer
 dict of the lower tribunal, and the
 en appeal was made to the Priv
 Council Here the judges unan
 mously confirmed the legality of tn
 sentence which condemned him
 death, and, as last resort, tn
 counsel of Riel brought the notice

GARDNER OUT OF RACE.
Had Many Friends in GratiOt Boost
ing His Campaign.

Washington Gardner of Albion, can
didate for the Republican nomination
for governor, has withdrawn from the
race. In a letter to Secretary of State
Martindale, he asks that his name be
removed from the ballot and that
county election commissioners be in
structed to observe the request.
Mr.. Gardner declares that when he
yielded to the importuning of his
friends to become a candidate he did
not realize so much of his time would
be taken in making a statewide can
vass. As national and state comman-
der of the c. A. r., with sessions to
be held soon now, he says his time
is nearly entirely taken up.
Mr.. Gardner's petitions were signed
by over 5000 persons. His leanings
were decidedly on the "dry" side, a
factor in Michigan politics which has
always made a strong showing.
Osborn, Groesbeck and Martindale
supporters are claiming that the with
drawal of Gardner has greatly
strengthened their chances for the
nomination. 1t is generally conceded,
though, that Mr.. Osborn will profit the
most.

candidate for the office of county clerk
subject to the will of the Republican
voters of Gratiot county. The Record
is only too glad to make the correc-
ton. Mr.. Kress informs us that he
is exceptionally well pleased with the
expressions of support he is receiving
from all sections of the county.

HONE FROM The EAST
The Misses Smith, Brown, Turner
and Dewey Returned Friday.

Miss Olive Smith, together with
Miss Alene Brown and Miss Pearl Tur-
ner, former teachers in the city
schools, and Miss Matte Dewey of
Evart, completed very interesting
vacation tour of the eastern states last
Friday afternoon.
The members of the party met at
Grand Rapids and from there went TO
Pittsburgh where they remained a half
day. From Pittsburgh they travelled
to Washington, spending six days see
ing interesting places in the national
capital and historic spots nearby. One
day they visited Mt. Vernon, which
members Of the party assert is the
most beautiful place visited. A trip
through the Cumberland mountains
and down the Potomac brought them
to Norfolk, from where they took a
trip up the James river to Rich
mond, the old Confederate capital.
A long boat ride down the James, out
TO the ocean and up along the coast
was supplemented by weeks stay in
New York City. AS one days outing
they took a boat trip up the Hudson
to Albany. After a Eye-day stay in
Boston the teachers went to Chester,
Vermont, the old home town of the
Smith family and the birthplace of
Mr.. p. M. Smiths grandfather.
On their way home they stopped at
Niagara Falls and Buffalo, arriving in
Alma just one day over month
from the time they left.
While at Richmond, Virginia, Miss
Turner was robbed of her hand grip
which contained only a few things of
much value. Fortunately, she failed
to put her ticket and coat in the bag
that morning as was her custom, but
carried them instead. No trace was
ever found of the stolen articles.

Miss Lois Fraker, Recipient of Many
Useful and Costly Gifts.

Miss Lois Fraker was the guest of
honor at a linen shower given last
Thursday at the home of Miss Laura
Brown on West Downie street. The
decorations throughout the house were
in yellow, goldenrod being used in pro-
fusion.
During the afternoon Miss Fraker
was the recipient of many useful re-
membranes, including pillow slips,
towels, napkins and other articles too
numerous to mention. During the af-
ternoon those present spent the time
in social conversation and incidentally
hemming towels and other articles
useful in the home.
Later in the afternoon dainty re-
freshments, carrying out the color
scheme, were served by Miss Brown,
assisted by Beulah Parr.
Miss Fraker is an Alma girl, a
graduate of Alma college and for the
past two years has been instructor in
Latin in the Alma public schools. Her
friends in Alma are limited only by
the extent of her acquaintance.
