j. Clyde Watt was born in the viii
lage of Saranac and has resided in
Ionia county all of his life. He has
been actively engaged in the practice
of law for twenty years having gradu-
ated from the law department of the
University of Michigan in 1896. Dur
ing the sessions of 1905 and 1907 he
represented Ionia county in the State
Legislature. In 1913 Mr.. Watt was
appointed by Gov. Ferris as the Re
publican member of commission to
revise and consolidate the laws of
the state relating to civil practice
and procedure in all the courts of the
state. The work of the commission
was approved by the legislature and
is known as the "Judicature Act of
1915" Mr.. Watt believes in an eco
nomical administration based upon the
results accomplished; that all Grim
inal statutes should be strictly but
Justly enforced within the county;
that all criminal complaints, where
possible, should be investigated be-
fore the issuance of a warrant; and
that all criminal prosecutions should
be conducted by the prosecuting at
torney without the assistance of 9TH
er attorneys at the expense OF the tax
payers of the county.

COMMEND OR CONDEMN

II was with a great deal OF regret
and shame that many people learn.
ed of the proceedings at the annual
school meeting held last Monday
night. To the disrespect of the dis
trict the one retiring board member,
who was also president OF the board,
II. j. Leonard, was subjected to an
undignified- and untimely crushing by
sshissing." Kissing, while maybe
sometimes and under certain circum-
stances permissible, was wholly out
side the bounds of good citizenship
in the meeting of Monday night.
The writer does not and Will not
pose either as pro-Leonard, or anti
Leonard, nor indeed pro- or anti any
other public or private individual un-
der all circumstances, but does be-
lieve that persons who serve the COM
munity unpaid for a series OF years
is entitled to a measure of respect on
retirement from public duties.
We agree with the patrons who
were guilty of kissing that Mr.. Leon
ard has made some, possibly many
mistakes, during his thirty years as
a board member, we believe Mr.. Leon
ard will agree with them and all OF
us that this is true. We believe that
all other members of boards have
made mistakes and will continue to
make mistakes, and to which they will
all agree. But regardless of this
fact we also believe that Mr.. Leonard
has faithfully served the district, that
other members have faithfully served
the district in the past and that they
will continue to faithfully serve in
the future. We believe that having
given this service we should permit
them to pass voluntarily from the
boards with some measure of ap-
probation.
Thirty years is a long time to serve
a community in one capacity without
pay. In thirty years many difficult
problems can and do present them
selves. In deciding them it is i'm
possible to please everyone, and we
doubt whether any other one of the
school patrons could serve a like
term of years on the board and retire
blameless. We do not consider it un-
wise to censor the acts of our officials,
but do consider it unjust to men who
serve in such Offices, to express dis
approval of their well-meant work in
the manner shown Monday evening.
With such.a procedure placed before
them what may other members Of the
board of education, or any other
board, expect upon retirement from
fhe citizens who placed them in
bfice? What. incentive has any good
fitizen Of Mcpmmnnity to permit
himself to bS placed in these posi-
tions? How would you, dear read
{r, like to be so treated after doing
four duty as you saw it for a term
bf years? n
Too often we are apt to consider our
own personal feelings in matters and
heglectful Of the larger community
good, let jealousies influence our ac-
lions. In the language of the Master,
tLet him who is without fanlt cast
the first stone" ~ 4 iFAA i

ANOTHER LESSON IN RELATED
PREPAREDNESS

Secretary of War Baker has order
ed the National Guard to the border
without the organizations having
reasonable opportunity to prepare for
service in their mobilization camps.
And this is way we prepare to go to
war with Mexico
Day in and day out President Will
son has acclaimed his absolute de-
termination not to go to war. with
Mexico. Only in an utterly incom-
pentent way has he allowed any pre-
paration to be made for such a con-
tingency as he now confronts. Time
and again he has spoken lofty senti-
ments of forbearance and love for the
Mexicans, and now the young men of
this country are about to pay the
price of his regard for the greasers.
and his disregard for the rights and
welfare of the volunteer soldiers of
the United States. He rushes the
National Guard to the border in a
panic exceeding even in intensity his
emotions when speaking against any
preparation that might cause the
Mexicans TO expect we proposed to
chastise them for their villainous
deeds. For four years he has unused
in literary aloofness on the splendors
of his humanitarian sentiments, and
then within four days he chases the
Guard, unprepared and unframed, to
the Mexican front.
In the weeks to come there will be
much said about the ineficiency of
the Guard. 1t hasn't chance to be
efficient. Suppose you had a trained
captain and three trained men in a
football team, and seven unframed
men. how many games could you
win? That is the condition of the
Guard. Out of 141 men, not to ex-
coed go, in the average company, have
had opportunity to learn anything Of
field service
What efficiency these units possess
ed at the time Of the call, has been
wrecked for many weeks to come in
the smothering influence Of the mass
of recruits. Many Of them will leave
the state clad in b. V. DIS and OK
fords of civil life. They will 90 to a
hot country of poor water supply; to
routine Of work and drills as diff
ferent from their previous existence
as it is possible to order; to eat meals
cooked by different methods from diff
ferent materials; to live under rad
ically different conditions. Most Of
them have no conception of the need
of obeying camp sanitation rules, and
the bullets of the Mexicans will be
but small factor Of danger compar-
ed with the dangers Of disease.
The Guards should have had a
square deal. They should have had a
chance to harden themselves to the

new life; they should have had oppor-
tunity. to secure proper uniforms and
equipment; they should have had OPP
portunity to learn the need Of obedi-
ence TO orders, to become what a
month would have made them, some
what seasoned men, with some dis
cipline ingrained and an idea of the
stress and strain of active service.
Vera Cruz and Santa Ysabel and the
Columbus massacre should have been
warning enough for the most devout
lover of peace.
Up at Grayling are the wagons and
harness for handling the supplies for
the Michigan National Guard, but not
a mule is ready to put his head
through the collar to pull those wag-
ons. Does the president know where
the commissary department is that
will supply the mems needs; does he
know where the medical supplies arc
that will be needed; does he realize
what he is doing?
Not even the time for preparation
granted the men Of the Spanish war
is being granted these men who must
carry the burden of national duty.
The Michigan Guardi with half a
chance, could have gone out courag-
eously and in order, and performed
full service, but this panic-stricken
president sends them out with only
bare chance to do their individual
bit without mourning useless sacrifice
of life and health.
On the officers of the Guard will
fall burden of responsibility heav-
lest than any of them ever faced be-
fore. The men must face the duty
without murmuring, but the
should come. In the end
the lesson of preparedness will be
made pertinent and clear to the peo-
pie of this country.-Detroit Satur-

being absent the president called
the meeting to order. A short program
was rendered, after which the topic
was discussed by several members.

were served. A good social time was
enjoyed, and everyone reported an
other good time even if it is the busy

URIC ACID

Every since the discovery of Scheele
in 1775 that uric acid was found within
the body-most eminent physicians
agree that rheumatism is caused by it;
also many distressing symptoms as
headache, pain in back, stomach dis
tress, swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
Neglected kidney trouble is responsible
for many deaths.
1t was DR.. Pierce of the Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y, who discovered
a new agent called Anuric, harmless
remedy-that if taken before meals will
carry off the uric acid from the system
and in this way the pains and aches, the
symptoms of rheumatism and other
maladies disappear. You can easily
prove this yourself by obtaining An
uric at almost any drug store, or send
DR.. Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Try it
and be convinced Anuric is many times
more active than lithia and eliminates
uric acid as hot water melts sugar.

ers had been killed in Chihuahua City
when Villa bandiats occupied the town,
were met with a statement by Gen
eral Jacinto B. Trevino, commanding
Carranza forces who reoccupied the
capital, that "only few Chinese were
killed during the time Villa occupied
the city,"
General Trevino's statement tele-
graphed in response to an inquiry by
Andres Care a, Inspector general of
Carranza consulates, was taken by
Garcia to mean that no other foreign
ers were killed.
The information telegraphed to
Washington was said to have been OBJ

Chihuahua City, Charles Elemendorf
and another American whose name
was not given had been killed by Villa
and that Elemendorf's young daughter
