The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Evening Post admits
that "Mr. Wilson has thoroughly
alienated at least three classes Oi
voters; the colored people. who hold
the balance Of power in three Middle
Western States, the womn who vote
in nine states, and the foolish Ger
man-Americans who are proposing. to
inject their feelings about Germany
into the next election" Without
pausing to question the choice of ad-
jectives in this language, it may be
wondered how Mr.. Wilson is TO make
up for the three defections-lnasmucn
as the correspondent goes on to pre-
dict his triumphant reelection"

anxious. Each has a different rem
edy-but they all come to the same
end. more taxes. And this from the
leaders of a party which promised to
free the people from the burdens OF
taxation.

CONFERENCE BANQUET
A GREAT SUCCESS
Two Hundred Boys Enjoy Feast
Friday Evening.

II was an inspiring sight to see two
hundred boys sitting at long tables
well laden with food stuffs that just
pleased the growing boys appetites.
The Older Boys Conference Banquet
was held at the X. OF p. Hall in this
city and boys were present from all
parts of the country as were interested
business men from CharlevOix, Boyhe
City and East Jordan.
During the banquet hour music
which Immensely pleased the boys and
drew round after round of applause as
well as lusty school yells, was furnished
by the Metropole Orchestra.

The address of the evening was that
of Gerrit Masselink, acting head of the
Ferris Institute. Under the question
as Christianity worth while?" Mr.
Masselink delivered one of the strong
est addresses to young men the local
delegation has been fortunate enough
to hear.
Mr.. Masselink took the argument for
constructive Christianity, eloquently
urging that the right life to be lived be-
cause thereby could true happiness
only be attained. Christianity is a
means to live, not means to escape
eternal punishment. Live today, dom
worry about whether you will wear
horns or wings in eternity but spend
your life in service. Through service
will come the greatest blessing. Read
the bible each day and keep clean.
Take an inventory once in while to
see whether or not you are losing your
moral grip, then brace up and 60 into
the fight again.
Speaking of cigaretts and bad habits
he stated that where one fails in school
