Declarations of the Republican
Party At the State Conven-
ton Held at Lansing,
February 18, 1919.

The Republican party will never
compromise with the l. w. w. nor
Bolshevists. The party is the friend
of labor. The present Legislature
will remedy these defects in the Work
mems Compensation Law. Labor In
this country must receive full repro
sentation in the Councils of the Ma.
ton. We must have remedial legisla-
tion for the uplifting and betterment
OF the great mass of our population.
We must have industrial peace, an In.
dustrial peace. which will insure that
every effort of brain and Drawn is ex-
tended in the right direction and will
ultimately help the great common
cause and add to the happiness and
prosperity of the country. In order to
achieve this end we must not only
seek economical distribution of labor
but we must see that there is no pro-
fiteering. We must not assume an
antagonistic attitude and make bust.
ness the football of political expedien.
cy. The best friend OF both business
and labor is a properly adjusted pro.
tective tariff.

Local Boy Wins
State HOnOrS
Albert Robert A Winner in State
Boys and Girls Garden Clubs.

Today news was received from East
Lansing as to the winners of the State
Championship for the Boys and Girls
Garden Clubs. Albert Robert, twelve
year old sixth grade pupil, was one OF
the four champions of the State.
Last spring Albert joined the ranks
of Sammy Supplies, one of East Jor-
dams Garden Clubs, and judging from
the results, he must have gone home
and set to work like real soldier.
This fall at the Fair the garden clubs
of East Jordan were awarded first place
\in the county for having the best ex-
hibit of garden products.
This spring the boys and girls of East
Jordan are planning, again, TO produce
a champion. The fifth, sixth, and
seventh grades will be given special
instruction in gardening. II is hoped
that we may again have the splendid
cooperation of the parents for the COM
ing summer.

An Appeal to the Women oi
the Republican Party.
Bina M. West Of Port Huron, Supreme
Commander, Woman's Benefit
Association Of the Maceabees.

The republican party has always
stood for progress. protection and
prosperity. 1t is the party Of action.
Il has expressed desire to work with
the women OF Michigan towards at
tanning the highest ideals of admin.
istration on questions Of the day. 1t
not only stood for suffrage, but was
largely instrumental In securing for
women in Michigan the right to vote.
Some women take the position that
women should hold themselves aloof
from the organized political parties
of the day. do not think this is prac-
ticable. We must work with the in.
struments at hand and public affairs
are managed through the instrumen-
tality Of parties. Every woman should
avail herself of every opportunity pre-.
sented to become familiar in a prac-
tical way with the manner In which
the republican party Is managed and
the principles for which II stands.
IL will be interesting as we'll as in
structive and an important civic duty
to attend political conventions and
familiarize ourselves with all ques-
tions of public interest. foo
Let US show our republican breth-
rem that we are going to take an in
terest in questions OF administration
of state and nation and that we are
going to do 1t in a sane, sensible and
practical way.

UNCLE SANS BILLS
MUST BE PAID
Up to America to Show World That u
Does What II Promises
to Do.

The argument, sometimes heard.
that there should be no need Of an
other Liberty loan, because the war Is
over, indicates there are some persons
so short rt-sighted and unpatriotic that
they are forgetting the grave dangers
that not so long ago threatened civili-
ZatiOn.
One OF the terrors of the past strug-
gle was the frightful havoc created by
the enemy on the high seas, which may
be illustrated by an incident, one OF
ten thousand similar ones. 1t was told
by a stranded sailor, lone survivor
Of torpedoed ship. He related how q
German submarine, after sinking the
ship without warning, came to the sur
face and helped to rescue" the few
who were swimming or drifting about
In the water. They were permitted
to cling to the submarine-in fact, to
find refuge on its deck. An empty
rowboat floated by, and the COM
mander OF the Sub" ordered the sur
vivors to avail themselves Of II, be-
cause In five minutes the U-boat would
submerge.
The rowboat had no oars. There were
no provisions aboard, no shelter against
storms In this unseaworthy shell.
II was half-filled with water-salt wa
ter-which the survivors had to scoop
out with their bare hands The cap
tain and his men descended into the
interior Of the "sub." The hatches
were closed and gradually the instru-
ment of destruction sank out Of sight,
leaving the craft, with Its human
cargo at the mercy Of the waves. This
happened In the middle Of the Atlantic
ocean.
There is only one thing that can
save the world from an upheaval far
more disastrous than tia which we
have gone through. That is fer Amer
lea and the American people to hold to
law and order, to abide by free institu-
tions, TO rebuild, to succor and COM
fort those who have been bowed down
by the terrors Of organized intolerance.
Ii Is for us to give more. pay more. do
more. IL Is for US to prove that q
wrong acknowledged becomes an obli-
CATION and that America does what
ever II promises to do.
This can be accomplished only by
patriotically getting back Of the VIC
tory Liberty loan and backing II up
TO the very limit Of our financial abil-
ity. Uncle Sans bills must be paid
and the boys brought home. Until
then the job won't be finished.

music accompanies the singer. AS a
public speaker he upholds the best
traditions of the Lyceum and is IA man
whose addresses are fascinating with
out the use of the scientific apparatus.
His appeal Is to people of all ages.
The little folks In the front rows never
bother the audience or the speaker
during DR.. Jones' lecture. They are
fascinated by the wonders displayed
by this man Of science and the lecture
and demonstration hold their atten-

flock to the platform at the close Of
the address and deluge the scientist
with flood Of eager intelligent ques-

The skeptic Is disarmed and
troubling doubts leave the mind of the
believer as this man of science shows
that there never has been conflict
between true science and true religion.
The faith OF all is renewed and
strengthened as they are shown how
the basic laws of science conform to
the basic principles of true religion.
His lecture has come to be regarded
as one of the most helpful, entertain
ing and educational addresses which
the platform has produced In recent
years.

WHYI AM A REPUBLICAN

am Republican.
Because, from the birth OF the Re-
publican party under the Oaks al
jackson, up to this very moment, that
party has stood for the principles
which have contributed most to the
wonderful development and prosperity
of our country, and, the party that
can attract and hold the support and
services of such men as Lincoln,
Grant, Sherman, Blaine, Garfield, Har.
rison, Mckinley, and Roosevelt is
good enough party for me.
am Republican.-------..- ..---.-..-.-----,.--
Because the Republican party has
always stood for a Protective Tariff,
which means protection to American
industry and American labor. Every
time the government has deviated
from this policy it has meant dis
aster to our industries and idleness
for our laboring classes.
] am Republican. rA
Because the republican party has
always stood for free and honest
resentation of all the people. Too, !.
has stood for the down trodden and

the Spanish oppression was crushing
the life out of Cuba. it was the repub

the Spanish from the Western Hemi-
spere, and made Cuba free.
] am a Republican.
Because the Republican party has
welcomed equal suffrage. In our own
state every measure introduced in the
Legislature promising suffrage to wo-
men was offered by republican, and
A4Nlen suffrage for women became a
reality in Michigan, the Republican
party welcomed the women of the
state to it's councils. Started bill on

Women Urged
To Do Duty
Fight Beer and Wine Amend.
ment to Bitter End.

A Message to the Women OF Charlie
voix County,
We fear there are those who do not
understand the significance of the
Light Wine and Beer Amendment, and
that many are being deceived into
thinking that the drinks referred to are
innocent drinks.
The drunkenness that characterized
Rome in her declining days was wine
drunkenness. The drunkenness against
which Israel's prophets thundered was
wine drunkenness. The drunkenness
which called forth restrictive legislation
in early Egypt was wine and beer
drunkenness. The drunkenness which
caused an emperor of China centuries
ago to order all the grape vines up
rooted, was wine drunkenness.
Wine and beer contain the same
alcohol as spirits in smaller proper
ton, but the consumption of larger
amount of wine and beer can easily
make up for the difference. Science
in recent years has dragged out into
the open the mischief done by wine
and beer quantities of alcohol. We
shall never end our alcoholic evils by
letting wine and beer continue. They
waste foodstuffs, they despoil men,
they have ruined nations.
I,x.4 4vxk
carries on April 7th, it will open the
saloons all over the state, and give the
liquor traffic strong foothold in Michi-
gan again. The saloon as of old will be
the rendezvous of the element that de-
fies law; the Bolsheviki and anarchist
will find headquarters in which to
mobilize their forces to fight war pro-
hibition, the federal amendment, law
and order.
If this amendment carries it will re-
peal every liquor law in the state, and
leave us al the mercy of an element
that knows no mercy and respects no
law.
II this amendment carries, the county
local option law will be repealed and
the legislature cannot pass new one
because the amendment makes the city,
village or township the local option
unit.
If this amendment carries, Michigan
will have no law, no authority, behind
its officials to enforce national prohibi-
ton.
If this amendment carries it will go
into effect May 7th, 1919. The state
Legislature. will be adjourned before
that time. There will be no oppor-
tunity to pass laws regulating the traf-
fic for nearly two years, unless a spe-
cial session is called. During that time
Michigan would be absolutely without
any restriction or regulation on the sale
and use of wine and beer. A reign Of
lawlessness would prevail worse than
that with which the vets have the
audacity to threaten us in case we do
not permit the saloon to come back.
We urge the women to make this the
all absorbing topic of conversation from
now on until election time. Talk about
it in your clubs and lodges, church
societies and social functions. If you
failed to register in time to vote at the
primaries, you may do so before Mar.
29th and vote at the April election. We
must not let the amendment carry. Do
your duty on April 7th and vote 'NO."

School Commissioners
- Notes
May L. Stewart. Commissioners

Word comes from the state committee
that the Normals have this year 1000
less graduates.
OF the Is requests for teachers re-
ceived from school directors of the
county only three offer less than $50
per month. All have asked for ex-
perienced teachers. So far only three
teachers have applied to the office for
positions, but the Com'r hopes inside
of ten days to recommend someone at
least for each school desiring change.
And yet the supply is not equal to the
demand. What is the solution?
The Health Crusade has been started
in the Robinson, johnson, Bay Shore,
and Phelps School.
With the schools: Rock Elm is feel
ing happy over the new sanitary pro-
visions of building-fumigation, sweep
ing compound, and plans for Standard
zation in May.
Evangeline township has no eighth
grade, and the two schools have no
classes in common. In order to still be
in the game, they are planning an ora
torical contest of the township to be
held in May when Wildwood School is
ready for standard Plate. The teachers
will have Educational Hall Social in
April.
The johnson and Marion Center
Schools held joint Educational Hall
Social and turned money in to the Peo-
pies Bank in East Jordan for county
fund.
Boyne Valley township have not as
whole raised any Educational fund, but
two schools, the Cramer and Boyne
Falls, have joint fund, which will be
deposited to their credit in county
fund.
Undine School, under Miss Kerry,
raised $3.50 toward new drinking
fountain. This is another school COM
ing in the May Standard School class,
and will make fine soldier memorial
building.
Boyne Falls is surely busy. Two in
formal meetings of the district have
been held and plans are well under
way. On Tuesday, Mar. 25th, special
meeting of the district has been called
by the Board of Education to vote on
the question of bonding the district for
new school building, to establish site
for same, to elect building committee,
and to vote on consolidation with such
outlying districts as may later wish to
join with them. AT previous meeting
the Com'r met with them to explain
the difference between consolidation
and township unit and to show legal
proceedings in both cases.
Letters from High Island indicate
that the school was closed for two
months with almost all the Israelite
House i'll, and with the teacher unable
to teach for even third month. There
are but few Indians on the Island this
year, but the influenza seems to have
used all alike, and the history of the
Magic Isle does not seem to have pro-
tected them.
