League and addressed large audi
ence at the Armory several days ago
has been engaged to deliver another
talk at Port Edwards. He will ad-

August c. Miller of this city. a
deputy of the Wood County sheriff's
office the past seven years has form
ally announced himself as candidate
for sheriff on the Republican Ticket.
Mr.. Miller has an excellent record of
service. He became deputy under
Ex-Sheriff Cowell and filled the bill
so well that he was retained twice by
Sheriff Bluett, who is now serving
his second term as sheriff, and by Ex-
Sheriff Normington. Mr. Miller has
been resident of Grand Rapids since
1908, and was raised on a farm east
of Grand Rapids. He is well quail
fed in every respect for the office he
seeks.

they should back him solidly. But
farmer or no farmer, he is a true
blue American and man of the prin-
ciples, integrity and conservatism that
promises fair and square shake for
all classes, should he become their re-
preventative in Madison.
We understand that he hasn't the
time nor money to make an extensive
campaign, nor the oily tongue of a
seasoned politician, as this is his first
dip in the political game, in view
of which we would suggest that his
many friends do little electioneering
for him among their friends. If you
haven't the time to sing his praises
in general then just say "Clark is the
man who put Wood County on the map
in the purebred stock line" He was
standard of cattle to the high plane
it now enjoys.

DESTRUCTIVE

Every community possesses two dis
tinct classes of citizens, although this
community is to a certain extent an
exception to the general rule.
Both classes are critical as regards
community affairs, but one class is
obstructive in its criticisms while the
other is destructive
The one sees the weak spots in our
municipal life, points them out, and
suggests rational methods for the cor
rection and improvement.
The other class sees the faults.
criticises the authorities for permit
ting them to exist, but offers no sane
suggestion for correction.
The man who accepts a position of
authority in any community must ex-
pect criticism. But he has right
to expect the public to refrain from
violent criticism unless it can suggest
a method of procedure that would be
an Improvement over the one he en-
ploys.
The public has legitimate right to
criticise its officials when it feels that
criticism is due, but it should be GER
tain of the justice of that criticism be-
fore it is uttered.
A constructive critic is an asset to
any town, out the destructive one is
simply knocker.
Constructive criticism is always well
come to any high minded and well in
tentioned public official, but it is
thorn IN the flesh to those who sur
render to ulterior motives and forget
the duty they owe to their constitu-
ents.
Our own officials are constructive in
both their intentions and in methods
If you see something that needs cor
rection, tell them so. They will well
come the information.
But go a little further and suggest
what appears to you to be the best
method of correction. 1t may be an
improvement to what our officials would
deem appropriate action.
1t is the team work of this kind
that breeds success in the garden of
life.

RUNNING FOR ASSEMBLYMAN

NJ. J. McRaith, formerly a resident
of Grand Rapids, where he was born,
raised and educated, is a candidate in
the Eau Claire district for Assembly
man on the Democratic Ticket. Macs"
father was in the Assembly, back in
1865, and therefore it's proper he
should serve in the same body Here's
TO "Mac's" success. The Daily Tele-
gram of that city, in it's issue of July
26 says of his candidacy:
"Then there ISM J. McRaith, but
always known as "Mac", whom the
Democrats put in the field for the
assembly. Everybody knows "Mac"
and as everybody who knows him
will vote for him, "Mac" should
show a clean pair of heels all along
the line. Every Korker will vote
for Mac, and that means a lot. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that
"Mac" holds forth at Nichols drug
store, for everybody knows that. He
is the founder of the famous Kork
Klub of Kindness and is its presi-
dent, and always will be- The Kork-
ers will probably take hold of
"Mac's" campaign for him and make
his election unanimous.

CLARK WILL RUN

w. w. Clark, county agricultural
agent the past five years, who recent
ly resigned to look after his farm
near Vesper, is the republican candi-
date for assemblyman of this county.
Announcement to this effect was made
this week, after much urging to get
him out.
lie is regarded as the logical man
for the place for various reasons
principally because of being so well
posted on the wants and needs of the
people of the county, an advantage he
gained in his work of county agent
which took him to all parts of the
county and brought him in contact
with alarge percentage of the people.
In addition to this he possesses the
required qualifications to hold down
the office of assemblyman.
Mr.. Clark was very seccessful as
agricultural agent and accomplished
much good for the county. Always
boosting in conjunction with his pro-
motion work, he built up a reputation
for the county that spread far and
wide These efforts proved that he
had the welfare of the county at heart.
Such q man can be banked upon to
take excellent care of his district when
in public office. A man who has ac-
complished what he has is deserving
of some sort of public recognition, and
the voters could give it in no better
way than by honoring him with the
Office he seeks.
A novel feature of Mr.. Clark S
candidacy is the fact that he is the
first farmer in some years in this
county to enter the field for a legisla-
tive office. It gives the tillers of the
soil a long longed for opportunity of
voting for one of their number and

BRYAN TRUE GAME SPORT
DECLARES SAN JOSE FRIEND

From Evening News, San Jose, CAL:
" 'Bill' Bryan is as good sport as
he is a statesman, and I've seen him
under some pretty tickliEh circum-
stances" declared E. J. Akey of Akey
and Skaggs, real estate dealers, this
morning.
Mr.. Akey was at one time publisher
of the Mission Times, at Mission Texas
Mr.. Bryan had winter home at Mis-
sion and made the Times office his
headquarters. A strong friendship
grew up between the two men which
was heightened by frequent hunting
and fishing trips up the river.
Mr.. Akey renewed the acquaintance
last Monday in San Francisco and re-
'newed a warm greeting as the guest of
Mr.. Bryan for the day. Plans were
made for the Bryans>to visit here as
guests of the Akeys on Monday after
noon, but the convention ran a little
longer than expected and prevented
the trip.
Mr.. Akey also assisted Mr.. Bryan
many times in the rendition of his
famous lecture 1.-THE Prince of Peace
by the use of his voice on the pro-
gram.
sI've seen Mr.. Bryan wade int
| water to the armpits to secure ducks
when other people by the dozen offer
ed to get them for him. He's a game
sport and gentleman" declares Mr.

AS THE EDITOR
SEES It

''Too bad that old maid can not get
husband" remarked a Smart Aleck
of q very charming maiden lady the
other day.
But the "old maid" is fortunate in
at least one respect-she hasn't a
Smart Aleck for a husband.
She is not an upstart's slave, and
she doesn't have to stand the abuse of
one who does't know how to respect
his own mothers sex.
She may be an "old maid" in point
of years, but she is honored and res
pected, and decent people do not turn
from her in disgust when she makes
a remark about other people.
An "old maid" without husband?
Possibly so.
But of infinitely more value to the
world than a Smart Aleck.

''That fellow is a hustler!"

THAT fellow is hustIer!"
Well might we say that of many of
our enterprising citizens. They des-
erve it all, and more.
But in the background perhaps there
is one to whom even more credit is
due-the true and loyal wife, who sup
plies the inspiration that urges men
on to greater and better deeds.
A cheerful and loving home brings
to the surface the best that is in any
man.
It's pure and ennobling influence
gingers him up and fills him with the
pep of conquest.
1t stimulates the red blood of man
hood that makes it possible to avoid
the pitfalls and surmount the obstacles
of the business world.
THAT fellow is hustler -yes-but
with a wife who inspires the spark and
fans the flames of hustledom.

Give us a million of them.

The sporting pages of paper have
a lively interest to many good citizens
especially on Sunday mornings.
They tell of the successes and of the
failures of men who have achieved
fame in the world of base ball, ath-
letics and other sports. They are
good reading for red blooded men.
But there is other reading for Sun
day morning that is equally good
even better.
The momentous words ever penned
are to be found in the bible, to be read
at will-especially on Sunday morn
ings
But if you are not in mood to read
the bible, and want to know of deeds
that live in the memory of man, you
still may hear of the wonders that are
told in this book, transcending in i'm
portance the heroic achievements of
the diamond, the track, and all other
fields of sport combined.
Lay aside your sporting page for
one hour on Sunday morning. Go to
church and hear the story of the man
whose achievements are too great even
for your favorite sporting page, the
mere mention of whose name dims
the lustre of all the heroes the world
has ever known.
Be a real sport and go to church.
