Charles NJ. VanBenschoten, of
Flint, was a pleasant caller at The
Messenger sanctum, Tuesday. He is
candidate for the office of Prose-
cutting Attorney of Genesee County
and we can say this for him in all
candor: First, that he is a very pleas
ant gentleman to meet. Second, that
his reputation for integrity and citi-
zenship is above reproach. Third, he
is university man who has the train
ing and experience necessary to
make a competent prosecutor such as
Genesee County ought to have, COM
ing to Flint several years ago and by
sheer force of character and ability
making a place for himself in city
which numbered among its profess
ional men many exceptionally able
lawyers. This is not said in dispar-
agement of any other candidates, if
such there be, and moreover, it is
not paid for.
Some manifestly undesirable char
acters visit Clio occasionally and
while here associate with certain
young girls whom they make it a
point to meet. The results Of such
meetings have been, in times gone by,
of the most serious character, char
acter in which every citizen is direct
ly concerned, because of the fact that
it affects him financially in the way
of taxes, and because it results in
pathologic conditions that threaten
the very foundations of the race. Be-
sides this, the moral and humanitar-
ian side of the question ought to ap-
peal to every man and woman who
assumes to feel the quickening of a
real heart and living conscience
What's the answer? Well, maybe q
friendly and plain and kindly talk
with the girls might do some good
and a coat of tar and feathers or q
bomb, neatly pitched, or a feed OF
rat biscuit, might be salutary foi
the predatory male bacteria that bear
some semblance to the human race.
Quite a number of our adventur.
Gus citizens patronized the birdmer
during their stay in Clio, last week
and viewed old. terra firma from
attitudes up to 3400 feet. Severa
ladies were among those who tool
the aerial trip and it is said that 6
vigorous revivalist could have work
ed wonders with some of the men il
he could have been with them while
they were aloft. Possibly that is the
way the revivals of the future viii
have to be conducted in Clio in order
to break through the indifference Of
some Of our sinful old shell-backs
A tail spin lasting fifteen seconds
would be far more likely to wiring
from them a howl of repentance thar
