"draft accounts for a great amount of the vice und lawlessness in communities where grafters are in control," Mr. Ih eker stated. "Viee exists In most cities, not because it cannot be eradicated, hut because grafting officials protect it. Every Investigation reveals this. There are fewer people in any town who want vice than there are who do. "Why then do we have it? Graft is the answer. "Those who want graft and profit by vice can pay, and in America people can have most anything if they can pay for it. The min reason why these things continue in a community is because of the indifference of the average citizen. If you steal his purse cr break into his house, you hear a vigorous protest, but steal his Falary or wages through rent, taxes or assessments and he pays no attention to it. "The second reason for the existence of graft is that many fear to protest against grafting by others because they are grafters themselves. The big grafters graft because tho little grafters graft. "The official who gets his electric lights free can't protest nrrainst anything that the company does. There are so many whose affairs won't bear Investigation that their mouths aro closed ab..uc the affairs of others." Mr. Decker advocated three remedies for the evil. These are, an ethical and spiritual awakening on the part of the people, a return to the simple life, where people would not be l.-d into dishonesty from trying to l-.eep up with the extravagancies nf ;'.e idle rich, and an increase in amount of moral teaching in the public schools.

RESORT COMPANY IS MADE DEFENDANT During th last week notion has been brought in the circuit court at Grand Haven. Mich., entitled State ex rel prosecuting attorney vs. Macatawa Uesort corapany. Attorney Stuart MacKibbin of this city appears for the plaintiff. The object of the action is to determine the right of the park company to control Macatawa Park, ami the streets and various platted grounds thereof. This suit is of more than ordinary Interest to .outh P.end people because of the fact that a large number of them are property owners in said park, and are virtually interested in knowing what the rights of the park company are. The suit is of more than local interest because of the fact that there nre a large number of these summer resort companies operating in Michigan, and it is claimed that outside of (mo r two of them none of the companies are observing the law under which they are incorporated. This is not the first attempt that has been made in Macatawa Park to resist the pretentions of the company in coni oiling the grounds of the park. The cottage owners assocation brought suit some years ago with "Michigan attorneys and were defeated, but r.dmund C. Westervelt of this r!ty in two actions in the United Slates court, in both of which he waa I e re: -rrted by Atty. Stuart MacKibb.ii of this city, was successful In his contention:; against the park company. The prevent cr.se hits at the very exco oi' the park company and its right to do business, and is of Interest in Michigan mt alone in regard to Maci:;av.a. but b--.---u?e of the large r.r.ub. r f corporations doing business in th.it ttate in a imtlar manner.
