MONDAY IS IMPORTANT DAY
Township meeting, Presidential
Primary, National Committeeman and
County Road Question.

Next Monday April is annual township meet
ing day. 1t will he of more than usual interest
this year and it is probable that every in the
county who possible will be at the polls.
In addition 20 the regular township officers to be
elected and the annual township business to be
transacted, comes the Presidential Primary, the
election of National Committeeman for the various
political parties and the County Road System.
On the Republican Presidential ballot three
names, Senator VIM. Alden Smith, Henry F. Ford
and some one from Detroit by the name of Smp-
son. 1t is probable that the republicans of the
state will show their loyalty to their senior Sena
tor by giving VIM. Alden Smith overwhelming
vote.
There is but one name on the Democratic Presi
Dental ballot, Woodrow Wilson.
For National Committeeman on the republican
ticket there is but one name, Hon. Chas B. Warren
Of Detroit. On the Democratic ballot two names
will be found, the present incumbent, E. o. Wood
and VIM. A. Comstock
The county road system will be the big question
in Van Buren, County. This question should carry
this time If it does not it will simply be because
not enough of the voters of the county understand
it. This system is now in force in about so count
les of the state These counties all like it.. Event
uay it will be in force in every county in the state
1t is to be sincerely hoped that Van Buren, county
will be in line this time and cast vote on the
right side of the question. Vote Eyes" on the
Road question.

THAT wet AND DRY" AMENDMENT

A misapprehension seems to exist in the minds
of some people as to the effect of vote on the
proposed wet and dry question to be submitted to
the electors of the state at the next November
general election. 1t is argued that if the state
goes wet the local option law will be wiped out
and the saloon become lawful in those counties
which have adopted such law. This view is entire
ly incorrect The question to be submitted is not
'Shall Michigan be Wet or Dry, but shall the
constitution of the state be so amended as to make
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating LIQUORS
unlawful throughout the entire state. If such pro-
position is approved by majority Of the electors
voting thereon Michigan becomes prohibition
state. If the proposition is rejected at the polls
the constitution remains unchanged and the local
option law is in no wise affected by such vote A
refusal on the part of the voters of the state to
approve proposed constitutional amendment
does not and from the very nature of the case
cannot affect the laws that are already on the sta
tute books of the state. In nutshell, if Michigan
votes dry the liquor traffic becomes an outlaw
but if Michigan votes wet matters remain exact
ly as they were previous to such vote.

The ideal married couple is the hus-

When he is first married he goes
home to be comforted when he has
trouble Of any kind, but 1t is different

A few men 60 to the polls to vote for
somebody, but most OF us go there to
vote against somebody.
A girl never has any trouble In max

14th. The County system is an
equitable plan spreading tie cost

County.
18th The County system has
shown the folly of constructing
any piece of road unless it is con-
structed according to state speci-
tications and a reward for it's
construction received from the
state. Thousands of dollars are
wasted each year in improving
roads without receiving State
reward amounts to nothing more
or less than temporary repair
and is expensive for any town
ship. The State offers to pay
nearly half the expense if they
are built right, Why not get this
reward in every piece of improv-
ed road?
