BUY FLOUR FOR THE
STARVING BELG|ANS
MICHIGAN COMMITTEE APPEALS
TO PEOPLE OF CLIO
One Million Mothers. Children, the Aged
and Infirm, Have Perished Since the
War Began, Help is Imp srative

Elsewhere in The Messenger this
week we are printing an appeal to the
people of Clio and vicinity to partici-
pate in the work of saving the starv-
ing people of Belgium from death by
buying flour for them. 1t is estimated
that one million women, children and
aged people have already died in Bel
gium as result of starvation since the
war began, and countless thousands
more are doomed to the same terrible
fate unless they are furnished with
food by the charitable people of the
United States. 1t is beyond our power
to even attempt to portray the depth
of suffering that must have existed in
Belgium to have resulted in the loss of
life before mentioned, and the most
pitiful feature of it all is that it has oc-
Cured among innocent people, who
were in no wise responsible for the war,
that, like mighty pestilence, forced
itself into their homes and not only
robbed them of everything that life
holds dear, but even of life itself. And,
let it be remembered, that in helping
the Belgians we are helping no un-
worthy set of professional mendicants.
Belgium is the most densely populated
country of Europe, notwithstanding
which her people have ever been among
the most intelligent, Industrious, and
generally admirable in that part of the
world. If there are any people on the
face of Gods earth who are entitled to
our sympathy. if there is any present
opportunity of obeying the precepts of
the golden rule, it is afforded in this
opportunity of buying sack of flour
for the starving mothers and babes of
Belgium. The Messenger doesn't know
just how the flour will be forwarded,
but that part of the problem is in the
hands of as good men as there are in
Michigan and will be carefully and eff
GENTLY provided for. The main thing
is to get the relief on the way. The
money for the flour may be left with
your grocer and the names of the list of
contributors will be published each
week. The Messenger will start the
list with two sacks of flour and we hope
to have long list to publish by the
time the next paper is issued. The CO.
operation of every philanthropic agency
in Clio is invited and will be thankfully
acknowledged.

chat the Vigilance Committee has been
exceptionally vigilant in the short while
it has been in existence, or that its pro-
gram was prearranged before it had
any'existence at all.
Col. Peter Carton and Fred A Cowan,
both of whom strenuously opposed Pros
ecutor Bishop for election, are promi-
nent in the recall movement and allege
- that the prosecutor has been very in
efficient in the direction of public busi-
ness and that numbers of prosecutions
have failed in the circuit court because
of defective complaints, a rather intan-
gible indictment of the prosecutor,
which will have to be, or in fairness,
at least, ought to be, pretty thoroughly
particularized before the public is asked
to take action. The old Sayre case is
also revived and cited as reason why
the prosecutor should be removed from
office.
The election was held only last No
vember, at which time all of these
charges, or charges of similar char
acter, were thoroughly aired before the
people of the county, tried in the peo-
j, ,ple's court, and the people decided in
favor of Bishop. Now, within six
months after the election was held, it
is proposed to go through with another
strenuous campaign, which certainly
cannot be conducive to the prosecutors
efficiency, and will cost the people of
the county a considerable sum of
money. However, if Mr.. Bishop has
really been inefficient in the con-
duct of his office, that is, more
inefficient than the general run of his
professional brethren, or if collusion
with any unclean element can be prov
en-, he ought to be removed, but if he
merely stands in the way of the aspira-
tions of rival set of politicians. there
is no call for the people to enlist in the
campaign against him. 1t should be
borne in mind that the lawyers, some
of them, are mistaken in just about
half of the cases taken into court; one
side or the other proves a failure in
just about that percentage of cases.
This may be termed inefficience, poor
judgment, or just common human falli-
bility, as may be preferred. Perhaps
the advice of Ebert Hubbard. with re-
gard to the cow might also be effica-
cious in the case of the prosecutor. He
said: Don't kick the COW, be good to
her; it means more milk"
Sometimes, too often indeed, as we
believe, people are ready to join in sup
port of the old familiar cry ''turn the
rascals out" without actually deter
mining whether the accused are ras-
Gals or not; they try the accused on
the charge and not on the offense. But
lin this case they have but recently rem
dered decision and we do not believe
they are going to reverse it unless abb
solute proof shall be adduced making
theiy duty plain so to do. Under the
law twenty-five per cent of the voters
balloting at the last preceding election
must sign the recall petitions in order
to make them effective. In case these
are secured special election is ordered,
the ballots stating the complaint and
answer, each not exceeding two hun
dred words in length. If the recall is
successful, another special election is
held at which successor to the deposed
official Is chosen.
