Under the present program there

the Covert Act.
These funds, however, are all paid

charge an efficient employee who is

average predecessor had held it, and

the seriousness, as well as delay and
perhaps financial loss that might in

be made.
Your county as been operated un-
der the county Road System now only
little over a year and it as taken
the best part of this year to get this
organization up to its present effici-
ency, which efficiency by the way is
now recognized by the state Highway
Department as being of the very
highest type and the organization of

Should a new man be elected, ii

Perhaps some few of our readers
who are not acquainted with George
w. Moulton, the present efficient
clerk of lonia county, will wonder
why this paper-though claiming to
be strictly independent. in political
way--is urging the reelection of Mr..
Moulton to the Office.
We wish to state that we have no
especial interest in the election of
Mr.. Moulton to the Office other than
that we know him to be a valuable
man in the office and really think
that a mistake would be made and
that the people of the county will be
working directly against their own
interests in voting against him.
We have no other interest in the
matter. We never got dollars
worth of the county's job printing
and Mr.. Moulton never asked US to
support him or write a line for him.
Neither have any his other friends
asked us to do so or paid US a cent
for our part.
We really do ndt think that in
supporting Mr.. Moulton and asking
other people to vote to retain him in
Office, that we are doing him as much
a favor as We are doing the people
of this county, in that the public's
affairs should be kept in the best
and most efficient manner and a
change from the present clerk to
some other person, no matter how
good and efficient they might be,
would mean a slackening of the high
standard of efficiency under which the

CITIZENS CO. SAYS III WILL
TAKE MATTER TO UTILI-

If all goes well for the Citizens
Telephone Company they will present
themselves before the Michigan Pub
lie Utilities Commission at Lansing
on September i. 1920 at ten o'clock
in the forenoon, for permission to
boost the rates Of their telephone
service approximately one-third OF
what they are at the present time. Ii
the request is granted, it will make
the second raise which the telephone
company has had handed them since
the pre-war days when better service
was had at the lower prices which
prevailed at that time.
The Citizens Company has notices
of its intention in this issue of this
poper which affect the patrons of the
Bedding and Grattan exchanges. 1t
will set forth as it's reason for ask
ing permission to~faise its rates that
with the extremely high cost of ev-
erything entering into the operation
of the telephone business that it is
practically impossible to carry on the
business in the manner which it
should be carried on with telephone
rates and charges as they are at the
present.
If the people of Bedding and Graf
tan and other places which will be
effected wish to oppose the raising
of their telephone charges in any
way it will be up to them to have
someone representing them at the
time the petition will be presented
to the public utilities commission on
September /, at ten o'clock and also
at the subsequent hearing which will
be granted and set for later date.

KIDNAPPED BRIDE
FROM HOTEL LOBBY

A kidnapping occurred in the lob
by Of Hotel Belding Monday night
at about 1880 o'clock when couple
Of desperadoes carried Mrs. Ted
Waite, who was sitting in the
lobby of the hotel waiting to dine
with her husband and some friends
who had arranged the supper in their
honor and placing her in q waiting
automobile which stood outside
whisked away and were seen no more
until some time afterward.
The crime stirred the whole section
of the city where it was committed
but it particularly riled the people
who were waiting for the stolen bride
to come back. 1t particularly stirred
Mr.. Scrubby Haynes, who denounced
the perpetrators of the crime as VII
lians of the deepest dye, not SO much
because anyone had been kidnapped,
but principally because he had to
wait for his supper and it was the
first time that his meals at regu-
lar time had been interferred with
since ne left the service. The rest
of the party, consisting Of Mrs
Haynes, Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Bracken
and Mr.. Ted Waite, the groom, were
loyal to the stolen bride and refused
to go on with the banquet until she
had been taken away from her cap
tors.
Secret service men were soon on
the trail of the kidnappers>and it was
found out that the two men who car
ried off the waiting bride were 81

1t is astonishing that so small and
Cox could have secured the nomina-
ton for so important an office as that
of president. He Is constantly finding
some conspiracy" and is rich in abuse
and denunication without a construc-
tive policy to advance. Having been
shown up as falsifier as to the re-
publican slush fund charge, he daily
seeks some new charge to make
against the republican party His
last nonsensical assertion is that an
effort is being made to Silence" the
democratic reports of the campaign
Why, Cox must be going bugs as he
loses all hopes of winning. Pick up
any daily paper and his charge of
"silincing" reports of the democratic
campaign is, refuted. Every day his
speeches, or large proportion of his
speeches, and accounts of his meet
ings appear in the daily press, both
democratic and republican There is
no effort on the part of the repub-
lican press to suppress any report OF
Mr.. Cox's utterances, for every time
he utters anything in public speech
he makes votes for his opponent. Mr.
Cox is impossible as a presidential
candidate and the mass of the voters
are so well convinced of his incapacity
that he will be showed under so deem
at the November election that he will
not come to the surface again until
the hot weather of next summer.

At the election November End. the
voters will be called upon to vote III
favor or against an amendment to the
state constitution which provides Tor
an increase in the salaries Of the state
officials. Nov, people hesitate to "a
vor expenses that may add to the cost
of government, but in this case the
added burden is infinitesimal and the
purpose most laudable one. wages
and salaries have increased in every
line of human activity while the state
officials havee ben compelled to ac-
cept the same pay that attached to the
office years ago, and at the same time
shoulder more work and responsible
ity. In all fairness and justice this
amendment should be adopted. On:
of the strangest things that has de-
veloped in the campaign is that OF Z
candidate for state office Directing to
the increased salaries OF state OIL
Gals, especially when the same can
didate would uphold strikes for high
err wages among employees OF indus
tries, no matter how high that wage
already might be. Such hypocritical
demagogy is unworthy of man run
ming for high office and stamps him
as a person totally unfit for the con-
fidence of his fellow-men. There il
nothing revolutionary or oppressive
upon the people this request for high
err pay to worthy officials, and the
voters of the state should favor the
amendment.

The Keller Eagle is inclined to pass
up democratic extravaganza in the
matter of ordering excess harness for
the army during the war as joke, but
it is a grim old joke when you come to
read the figures, and merely goes to
show democratic incompetency in ev-
cry branch of the government. There
were just 100000 cavalry horses in the
service and the government ordered
and paid for $4,000 saddles for the
use of those mounts. That is exercising
good judgment with a vengeance. But
why dwell upon this one instance Of
criminal extravaganza. The same reck-
lessness was displayed in every depart
ment, and the awful wastage of food
and materials in France is almost be-
yond belief. But that such waste was
the result of reckless carelessness and
perfect indifference on the part Of
those in authority can be easily proven
by conversation with any soldier who
served in France. Millions of dollars
worth of property was ruthlessly des-
troyed or so neglected that it became
worthless. If that extravaganza had
ceased with the war there might be
some excuse for the willful waste, but
there has been but little reduction in
wastefulness since the armistice was
signed, and the only instance where
there was any stoppage in the leaks
was when a republican congress re-
fused to sanction enormous appropria-
tons.
