MoNTRosE

There sure was some scrap on in
Montrose township, where Jack John
son, supervisor, who failed of nomina-
tion in the caucus, ran on the Peoples
ticket and after his constitutional
habit made things hump" The finish
was even more exciting than the battle,
because the election of Mr.. johnson
was at first conceded by vote of 210
to 2O9 for his opponent, Simon West
fall, and then. because of the existence
of certain questionable ballots, the orig
inal count was changed to 2O8 for West
fall and POT for Johnson, the election
board taking until three O'Clock in the
morning to make their final decision.
This result was unsatisfactory to Mr..
johnson and a recount was ordered,
which will be held in the town hall at
Montrose to-day. AS it now stands the
officers elect are as follows: Super
visor, Simon Westfall; clerk, Edgar
Swartz; treasu er. Neil Mccormick:
highway commissioner, VIM. G. Wright:
member board of review, Charles Ec-
cles; justice. Arthur Payne; constables,
Albert Hunter, Chas. Summers, Del
bert Leach and Henry Westfall.

township can and will be given its
share of benefits as originally compre-
hended when the bond issue was author
lied. They say the assumption of the
auditors that there should have been
$97, 100000 or thereabout, in the road
repair fund on Jan. 1st, is ERRONEOUS, as
but $58, 236. 43 has been raised for that
fund since the commission was estab-
lished, of which about $22, 100000 re-
NAMED as balance on the first of jan
uary. They further say that had the
gentlemen making the audit applied to
them, they could and most willingly
would have explained many matters of
which they claim the former had not a
proper conception. We cannot escape
the conviction that the gentlemen COM
prising the commission are right in
many of their contentious. 1t is COM
paratively easy to build public high
ways on paper, but the actual construc-
ton of them and looking after the
wealth of detail which their construc-
tion involves is a very different and
sometimes difficult matter. One thing
we are going to say about the Genesee
county road commission is that they
have given us system of country
thoroughfares that is the admiration of
the entire state, and so far as their
books of account are concerned we are
told that they have been copied by
many of the highway departments do
ing business in other counties of Mich
igan.
The auditors report they found the
books in the offices of the county treas
urer and county school commissioner
and poor commissioners to have been
fairly well kept, but assert that some
improvement in the systems now in use
is advisable.
Summing the whole matter up, we
believe it a reasonable assertion that
no matter what kind of an accounting
system is adopted, the public must re-
pose its trust largely in the honor of
the men it chooses to transact its busi-
ness, and if this be true the audit just
completed demonstrates that Genesee
county has been very fortunate in its
selection of men to fill its public offices.
These men, it is said, might have done
wrong and didn't. Men of different
character have always found way to
to carry on their peculations despite
elaborately devised plans to force them
to be honest.
In the light of revelations that have
sometimes been made in Investigations
of this kind, the people of Genesee
county may congratulate themselves
upon the fact that. at most, nothing
more serious than faulty Bookkeeping
system has been discovered in their
county offices.

"Snnile"

The worlds always down on the face with frown,
One that smile does display;
The world loves the Skies with their bright silent eyes,
AS they shine in their spheres far away
Much better 'twould be, for you and for me-
Instead of frown, give smile.
At this, and at that, should laugh and grow fat
Forgetting cares for awhile.
And when you feel blue, the right thing to do
In spite of yourself you should try
That frown to erase and put on your face
A smile, and bid trouble goodbye.
When your spirit is sad, just sing and be glad
For music's the language of heaven.
With song in your soul and heaven your goal,
Press and with grace take what's given.
Sweet is the face that is beamng with grace,
And the soul overfowing with joy.
The world has place for such beauty of face
And for all that is free from alloy.
There never is gloom where the wild flowers bloom,
Though dark ming clouds may appear.
The sun it shines out and puts them to rout
And nature fills all with good cheer.
The birds on the wing, how sweetly they sing
While fitting from boscage to tree.
The rivulets ring, and closely they cling
To their bed, as they sweep to the
But man will allow deep burrows to grow
On his brow, that he might have controlled;
While yet in his prime, he wasteth his time.
And whines and grows haggard and old.
The world loves the lad who is merry and glad
One who smiles should all other folks sigh;
Who never will scold should it be hot or cold.
And who laughs should it be wet or dry.
T. F. Francis.

THETFoRD

Thetford township developed some
real, live contests. The regular nomi-
nee for supervisor, Fred Lowell, was
opposed by Verne WILDER, present IN
cumbent of the Office, on slips, and Mr..
WILDER won out by vote of 10l to 81.
Austin Cummings, who likewise made
the race on slips, failed to make the
grade, his opponent for the office of
treasurer, Claude Holden, winning out
by vote of lat to al. There was only
one ticket in the field in Thetford, so
the Republicans had all of the fun to
themselves. The officers elect are as
follows: Supervisor, Verne Wilber;
clerk, William Price; treasurer, Claude
Holden; highway commissioner, Her
bert Haas; overseer, Edward Scafe;
justice. William Teachout; board of re-
view, Oscar Sears; constables, George
Hackney, Louis Brady, Eugene Bar
