The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1915-08-13

Paw Paw Commercial club, but
the program is furnished by the
Midland Chautauqua Circuit oi
Des Moines, Iowa, which is
guarantee of the best talent that
can be procured.
This annual event is here to
stay, and after six years of trial,
has proved to the people of Paw
Paw and vicinity that it is indis
pensable. The amount of good
our community receives. the in
spiration and good thoughts
that the speakers leave, and al
together the influence on moral
and social life that is left with
US as an asset is not to be com
pensated for in a monetary con-
sideration. 1t brings one in per-
sonal contact with the best of
entertainers and platform lectur
ers in the country, people whom
we could not meet or see other
wise.
The people of this village and
vicinity in general should con.
gratulate themselves for having
this opportunity, to lay aside the
cares of a busy world for eight
days, and to fill their minds with
intellectual inspiration.
AS an educator the Chautauqua
is the best learning institution
of the country. You learn some
thing from the platform you
could not learn if you read all
the books published, because the
lecturers speak from their own
personal observation, their own
experiences, which you do not
find in any literary library in the
country. The lecturers that will
address the assembly are all of
national reputation, who have
made the subject of their dis
course special life study, who
have put their whole energy and
thought in the matter which
they bring to their audience. No
college, school or seminary has
these thoughts in their libraries,
and as an educational exponent,
the Chautauqua stands ahead of
Yale, Cornell and all other in
stitutions of learning.
The week of August 10 to 26
will be a week of mirth, music,
mystery, information, instruc-
ton and inspiration, and will
bring to Paw Paw as fine a liter
ary, scientific, musical and art

The Hatties burg paper hits the nail
squarely on the head in the following
concluding paragraphs of its able de.

There are no mobs in England.
Why? Because 81 per cent of the
murderers Of that country expiate
their crimes on the gallows. In this
country the reverse is true; 81 per
cent of the murderers escape the
gallows and very large per cent go
altogether unwhipped of justice.
That is what encourages the mob
spirit.

BUYING THE Pixies.

No outrageously unfair price should
De paid for the turnpikes or for any
thing else up for sale to the public
The idea that the public should be
1ilched everytime anything is to be
bought is one that we should get
away from, it is one that has made
government unnecessarily expensive.
However, the public should always
deal justly and fairly with individuals
and owners from whom purchases are
made.
The county court may be right in
Its valuation of $3.50 per mile on the
turnpikes of the county. It may be
right in assuming that $1,000 is too
much; The Herald does not know.
But it does know that committee of
the county court, made up of good cit
szens, conscientious officials, having
an eye single to the public good, rec
commended that $1,000 should be paid
Tor the remaining toll roads of the
county. We rather prefer the view of
a majority of this committee and are
inclined to the opinion that the coun-
" court made a mistake in it's refu
@al to buy at $1,000 per mile.
AS a matter of fact the roads may
not be worth over $3.50 per mile. that
Us roads just as good might be con-
@tructed for that sum, That we can
not say Assuming that 1t 10 the case
the purchase of the toll roads at 3d..
900 mile would nevertheless been
profitable proposition for the county.
RAere are other matters to consider
besides merely the item of actual
value. There are other points from
which this issue should be viewed.
II is our candid judgment that the
purchase and opening Of the remain
ing toll roads of the county would be
worth $1,000 per mile to the people
regardless of the intrinsic merits of
The several roads. The county could
@ff0fd to pay Small bonus to get rid
of the incubus of toll gates: 1t could
well afford to pay bit more than the
cost Of construction in order to get
on the broad highway Of progress, to
get away forever from the payment
Of tolls, from what in this time and
generation is an anachronism.
Our whole experience with the toll
road has been an unpleasant and a
most proftless one. We have had lit
Agation without end and cost and It
mas really profited us but little. We
have really failed in our efforts to
regulate the toll roads. The one rem
edy is their purchase and operation
nnder the direct ownership and con-
troll Of the people. For these reasons
The Herald cannot refrain from an
expression of regret that the county
court and the turnpike owners did
not reach an amicable adjustment
and open the toll gates. We hope
that yet way may be found to at
tain this much to be desired result.

LAW ENFORCEMENT.

After declaring that it does no
good to throw mud at gutter snipe
like the Chicago Tribune" and depre-
eating a sectional discussion Of the
issue of law enforcement the esteem
ed Hattiesburg, Miss, News proceeds
to tell how wicked a place Chicago is
and how vastly superior are the peo-
pie of the South. This is rather in
consistent and spoils what otherwise
was one of the strongest, ablest and
most comprehensive discussions OF
the question Of our lax:ty
of law enforcement that has come to
our table in many moons. The Her.
aid deprecates any sectional discus
sion of thse matters. No part OF
this common country Of ours, unless
it is New England can point the fin
ger of scorn at any other for its lack
of law enforcement. Every portion
OF America has it's faults, every Sec
ton has its virtues. Fortunately the
good Lord did not give any section
a monopoly Of either else population
might soon become too much con-
gested In one and there would be no
demand for town lots in the other.
In the South we need to look this
matter of lack enforcement, this
thing of mob vengeance squarely In
tbs face. We should stop patting
ourselves upon the back and congrat-i

WEBR's ENDORSEMENT.

No public servant can 60 far afield
when he holds the unqualified en-
6orsement of Old Sawney Webb. His
testimonial OF approval of Senator
Luke Lea is one Of the greatest com.
Dliments ever paid the youthful
statesman. He may be retired to pri.
vate life, but assuredly the fact that
his course has been such as to merit
and receive unstinted praise from the
Grand OLD Man of Tennessee would
be comfort and consolation to him
through al the remaining years Of his
earthly existence.
Senator Webb's letter published in
The Herald reflected the honest con-
victions OF one of the greatest and
best of Tennessee's sons. A veteran
IN the cause of good government, the
Instructor and Inspiration Of thous-
ands OF the best youth Of all the
South, man who has never in peace
or war shirked duty, Senator Webb
clearly, truthfufly and succinctly
sets forth the record of Senator Lea.
He shows his devotion to the cause
OF temperance and gives cognent rea-
sons why he deserves the endorse
ment OF the people.
Those who rejoice in the success of
the prohibition movement, who are
gratfied at the results of genuine
law enforcement and who are willing
that the issue should be forever set
fled, should hesitate long time be-
fore they refuse Senator Lea the en-
oorsenleit "-Aich he so well deserves.
This should be the attitude Of all who
are now committe>d to prohibition re-
Eardless OF what their views might
have been in the pasfN touching the ex-
pediency or proprietE of the policy.

The people of Colorado owe such
men as Philip B. Stewart an everlast-
ing debt of gratitude and there is not
a decent-minded man in Colorado who
does not hope that Philip B. Stewart
will succeed in sending Bonfils and
Tammen to the penitentiary where
they rightly belong for their foul
charges against him in the effort to
vitiate the work of the Legislative
committee and prevent it from finding
out the whole truth about Fred G.
Bonfils and Harry H. Tammen.
Will the people of Colorado rule
Bonfils and Tammen or will they let
Bonfils and Tammen ruin them? Thi!
is the question that must be settled
right and settled soon in Colorado. If
Bonfils and Tammen escape the pen
atty of a penitentiary sentence that
is their just due Colorado will con-
tinue to proclaim to the world that
the sacredness of character and the
sanctity of the home within her Dor
ders can be bartered at will by black
mailers and character assassins. And
we trust that Colorado will deal with
Bonfils and Tammen in drastic fashion
for the safety of her government and
the preservation of the life, liberty
and happiness" of her people.-Boul-

The South Turning to Protection

The Iowa Idea, once so ominous
to republicans, is now about to be
paralelled by the Louisiana idea, B"

their philosophic basis in Hancock's
innocent declaration that the tariff is
a local issue.
In Louisiana the regular democrat
ic ticket is to be opposed in the pri-
maries by a Protection party tick

stand for the principle of tariff pro-
lection for local industries. This prin-
ciple is outraged by the present tar

ar and rice interests.
But even the success of the pro-
lection party ticket would not mean
much in the way of restoring former
conditions. Consequently Louisiana

How to Tell a Mushroom

How to tell the difference between
mushrooms and toadstools: Get up
early in the morning, brush your
teeth well left handed, put on one
yarn stocking and one cotton sock, go
out in the back yard and look the wood
pile over, but don't touch it; inform
your wife there is plenty Of coal in
the bin at her command any time she
wishes to carry it in, go back in the
house and read awhile and by that
time she may have a beef steak ready,
smothered with either toadstools or
mushrooms. Carve the steak so that
you will get all of the tenderloin, Civ
ing your wife the residue, then rather
all of the best of the smothering ma
terial, eat slowly, chew well and
breathe deeply while this meal is in
process. After dinner smoke %
cent cigar while your wife is rustiing
buttons for your shirt, then dress up
and go down town. If you are alive
after the ordeal, it was mushrooms
you ate. If the undertaken comes
after you in five hours, then it was
toadstools. No charge for this for

Ardourel Explains Appropriation to
Stewart

Representative Alphonse Ardourel of
Boulder county, who is a democrat,
served on the committee on appro-
priations that appropriated $1,000 to
Speaker Phil Stewart. 1t has always
been customary, according to Repre-
sentative Ardourel, for the senate and
the house to approprite to the lieu
tenant-governor, who is president of
the senate, and to the speaker of the
house, sums ranging from $500 to
$1,000 for incidentals incurred by them
during the session Of the assembly.
As speaker of the house, Stewart, like
all other speakers who preceded him,
was compelled to spend money out of
his own pocket for necessary work on
bills before the house, and for other
necessary purposes.
Representative Ardourel says that
Stewart asked the house not to ap-
propriate him the 81 900 as he did not
need it or want it. Stewart voted
against the appropriation that was
legally and rightfully his. Stewart
thought SO much of his state that he
was willing to spend his own money
for the best interests of Colorado.
Stewart is a rich man and also
modest man and when the truth is
known it will be found that Stewart
spent his salary, as a legislator, sew
eral times over to get industrial, legal
and economic experts here SO that
Colorado could have the best industrial
laws of any state in the union, and
so that Colorado's government could
be gotten out of extravagant chaos
into economical, systematic order.
To the men who served with Speaker
Stewart the Posts charges of graft
against him are hailed as the worst
matchmaking and libeling and char
acter assassinating attempt in all its
vile history. Only one man in the
house, DR.. Harold Garwood, whose
brothers are attorneys for Bonfils and
Tammen, sides in with the Denver
Post in its unholy and despicable at
tempt to, ruin good man and an able
man who has loyalty sacrificed his
time SO that he could help Governor
Carlson reconstruct Colorado into an
efficiently and economically governed
state.

PAY-UP WEEK IN COLORADO
Wonder If 1t viii Apply to Newspa-
per Subscriptions

The proposal to make the week be-
ginning May %. Pay-Up Week in Col
orado, originated by the state COM
mittee on employment and relief, is
meeting with hearty approval from
people all over the state. 1t is gen
orally recognized that if everybody
would make a special effort to pay
up his debts. and particularly his
small accounts, either in whole or in
part, that 1t would make money much
easier all down the line.
As matter Of fact, most people, in
business and out of it, only get mon
ey for the sake of passing it on to
somebody else whom they owe. This
is true, not only Of the wage Garner,
but of the man in business. 1t tar
ries with US but a little while, and is
gone, and only small proportion of
it stays with any Of us.
Therefore, why not keep the dollars
moving? Pass them on TO those we
owe, SO that they also may enjoy the
experience of paying their creditors.
1t is wonderful how many debts "A
dollar will pay if it just keeps moving
fast enough. Pay-Up week will give
a fine opportunity to give the nimble
dollars a chance to do business.-Col-
