for he could place no reason why his
employer should borrow money, I'M

twice he saw Mr.. Drake come from
the direction of the Drew farm, each
time looking broken and depressed,
and once, as Drew drove by, not OBJ

him shake his whip 'in the direction

as though vastly enjoying some
spitefdl triumph over the man who
in the far past, it was said, won his
wife against the efforts of his rival
Reuben went into the sitting room
late one afternoon, to find Drake at
his desk counting over great heap
of banknotes, his face cOlorless and
drawn with some, mental anguish. He
uttered a deep groan and Reuben
caught the muffled words:
I'm the grasp of that villain and I
dare not defyShim. No, no, for Net

Reuben bowed and retired. Two
hours later Drake got up on the seat
beside him. Neither spoke during
the dreary journey It had begun to

some trees.
He watched Drake enter the house.

A FAIR WARNING
One That Should Be Needed by Alma
Residents

Frequently the first sign of kidney
trouble is a slight ache sor pain in the
loins. Neglect of this warning makes
the way easy for more serious troubles
--dropsy, gravel, Bright's disease.
IT'S well to pay attention to the first
sign. Weak kidneys generally grow
weaker and delay is often dangerous.

William II. Hill is a Republican and
il. is as a thorough-going, uncom-
promising Republican that he offers
himself at the Primaries August ~
for the Republican nomination for
United States Senator.
But there are certain characteristics
of Mr.. Hills Republicanism that he
wishes thoroughly understood. He
neither q radical, nor a conservative
least of all is he reactionary
By radicalism Mr.. Hill understands
action not based on good judgment
and common sense; by conservatism,
lack of action that amounts TO
timidity, failure TO grasp new .condi-
tons; by reactionism, no action at
all-stagnation.
Mr.. Hill is progressive in his prac-
tice and application of Republican
theory and doctrine.
By that he means that he recog-
nixes new facts, new conditions, when
they arise and believes that theory
and principles OF government should
be adapted TO fit these new facts and
conditions.
There should always be progress.
One cannot stand still. One should
advance with the times-molding and
adapting principles TO the new prob
lens that arise. but never altering the
fundamentals 1t is this sort of Re
publicanism that Mr.. Hill practices
and will practice.
That he has the courage OF his con
victions was proved in 1912 when
believing that the conditions OF that
hour demanded il, ne followed Col
onel Roosevelt. He ran for Con-
Eressman-at-large and polled the
largest vote, next 10 Roosevelt, run
ning ahead OF his ticket 10000. and
exceeding the vote OF the Republican
nominee for governor by 5000.
Mr. Hill remains unshaken in his
belief in the soundness of the pro-
gressive Republican theories. Those
who believe i'm progressivism as a
necessary elemen. IL al political
theory and who supported Mr.. Hill so
generously in 1912 may rest assured
that the same ideals Of government
for which he stood at that time will
actuate his conduct IL he is nominated
for United States Senator and elected
on the Republican ticket
Support him as you did four years
ago and il will mean that the advo-
Gates OF progress and humanity will
have a friend in court. The Primaries
are August 10Th. Get out and place

Detroit News editorial Aug. 8, '16.)
Now that the Wayne county and
Detroit Republican organizations are
pledged to Frank b. Leland's eandi-
dacy for governor, his chances of Sc
curing the nomination have been
greatly improved. Detroit has not
produced a governor since Pingree
and Michigan admits that he was
a good one. But Mr.. Leland has
more than geographical claim to
consideration. He combines the edu-
cation and training of a lawyer with
those of business man, and is thus
fitted not only to give Michigan that
business administration" which of
late years has been so clamorously
desired by certain groups, but also
to give expert attention to Legislation.
Mr. Leland has never been an
Office seeker. His election as regent
of the University of Michigan in 1907
and again in 1913 gave him place
OF honor rather than of political in
fuence. 1t was a position in which
executive capacity was needed, and
this Mr.. Leland showed he had. In
another field of public service he has
won popular esteem-the fight
against tuberculosis. There he has
shown fine qualities of organization
and leadership.
Michigan Republicans will do well
to consider the qualifications of the
Wayne county candidate and to COM
pare them with those of other as
pirants for the nomination. 1t would
be a mistake to choose him merely
because Detroit may feel that this
city is entitled to consideration. Blu,
if his record and his abilities, his
broadmindedness and his freedom
from factionalism appeal to the party
it should not let minor considerations
influence it.

b. Leland of Detroit seems to meet

united on him.
Mr.. Leland was born on an Oakland
county farm and today owns and OPP
crates the farm on which his boyhood
was spent. We worked his way
through the University of Michigan
and has made good as a lawyer in

for Is years, and it a thoroughly cap
able business man who would make q
governor strong enough to bring about
improved methods in the states sys-
tenn of taxation and expenditures, con
corning which he has expressed him
self in no uncertain terms.
Mr.. Leland is a man of high ideals
undaunted courage and tireless in
dustry and his election to the Office Of
governor would mean the Inaugural
ton of many important public i'm
provements, with a big reduction il
expenses, which would be relief I,
