over which w< had no control As a

Taxes are not made when n city
council, or a legislature, or congress,
provides the money to meet the ap-
propriation- They are made when
these appropriations are demanded
for one purpose or another.
When we go before a legislative
body, whether local, state or national
ami ask such and such sums of mon-
ey for such a'd such an enterprise
or activity, then we make the taxes.
When we a k a bond issue, we
make them, not for one year, but for

leave the authorities no option in the

A v> rilict of not guilty was return-
ed by tlie jury in tlie Franklin Hod-
ges case, the jury reporting at 11
o'clock on Saturday morning The
case was on trial at the time the
Spectator was published last week,
and a summary of the testimony of
tlie principal witnesses was then giv-
en. Quite a number of rebuttal wit-
nesses were placed on the stand by]
the state after tlie defense had plac-,
• <1 its witnesses on the stand, but the1
testimony of tlie principal witnesses,
was not shaken and tlie jury found I
tlie verdict generally expected it
would find, by those who followed!
the case closely, after a few hours or
deliberation.
Tlie introduction of testimony was
concluded Friday morning. the
charge of the judge to the jury was!
given in tlie afternoon and State's]
Attorney Bassett opened the argu-
ment. He was followed by Hon. S. F.
Rowan for the defense and County
Attorney Sidney P. Chandler for the
prosecution, in the order named, and
court adjourned until after supper
when Hou. Sani’l. J. Styles and Capt.
Chas. C. Ingram spoke in behalf of
the defendant and the state’s side was
wound up by Hon. John II. Crooker
the speech making ending about 10
o'clock when the case was turned ov-
er to the jury.
Tlie district court room was packed
to standing room during most of the
trial, and particularly while the law-
yers were arguing the case, and after
they had finished, many remained to
see if tlie jury would arrive at a ver-
dict that night. About 11 o’clock,
however, it was announced that the
jury had retired and would not decide
upon their verdict until the following
morning, and those who had been
waiting all went home.

The Christmas Pageant "The Light
of the World” presenteil under the
auspices of the Womans Missionary
house last
and im-
pressive and a success in every par-
ticular. Long before the time for
closing the doors for the first per-
formance the house was filled to ca-
pacity and crowds were turned away
Io wait for the second performance.
When the house was emptied from
tlie first performance the waiting
crowd surged in and quickly filed It
again.
This pageant is conceded to lie one |
< f the most successful affairs of its
kind ever attempted in Bay City and
goes to show what we can do by
hearty co-operation in civic endeav-
ors It. stands as an unanswerable
testimony to the efficiency and pow-
er of religious unity and co opera-
tion. The Woman's Missionary Fe<l-
, ration Is growing stronger ami more
secure in the hearts of our people
with tlie passing days and wields an
influence for good along all lines
that is incalculable.
Time and space would fail in an ef-
fort to mention separately every one
who conlribuled to the slice.ss of the
pageant. Inn »pacial mention must be
made of the efficient nid untiring
energy of the Federation's president.
Mrs. I’aris Smith, who worked un
eeasingly for its sueinss. Her efforts
would have been In vain, however, if
she had not had tlie enthusiastic sup-
port of the exeoutive committee The
Messrs Miller, who so kindly grant-
ed the use of the opera house, have
much of their time and thought and
contributed no little to. Hie general
iiccess. Tile I'ederation and the pub-
lic are grateful to them Mr. Kyler,
the sign num. wired to Chicago tor
,i spieial poster to be made into a
drop curtain, but on account of the
dampness of Hie weather, this could
not be used after it was fixed.
The entire city Is under obliga-
tion to the Federation and to every
membi r of the cast.
At tlie beginning of tlie next year's
elections let us all keep In mind that
group politics Is dangerous and
fraught, with many disappointments
I.et us remember Hint group polities
aims a blow nl tlie freedom of the
ballot ami destroys one of out most
sacred institutions Let us remember
that group politics Invariably elevtes
to office unreliable and unsafe men
iml gives them the idea that to obey
Hie group is their only obligation.
Let. us remember that group )s>lities
was never Intended to lie invoked in
a democracy and that all men are
free to inter the race and to lie vol
ed for by tlie tree and untrammeled
men and women. Let's have things
open mid above l> >ard. that our con-
sciences can lie glorified In tlie cast-
ing of a free and unsullied ballot
Let's go to the polls next year free
men mid vote for free men. If we do
not we are sure to regret It a few
months later, for ixperlence has
taught us that we have tailed on our
men everytime we have elected one
by group polities and group methods
No mmi. who is a free man. can af-
ford to have 111-’ ballot, suggest. I
