Excerpt from The Tribune Almanac and Political Register for 1902 February 28, 1901, at Grand Rapids - The platform indorsed the national and Republican. State administrations and denounced former Republican State offi cials who brought shame and disgrace on the State by dishonesty. March 6, 1901. - We denounce the present State legislature generally, as an incom petent and idle body, whose sole business seems to be to obey its Senatorial owner re gardless of the public welfare. We denounce it specifically for its Democratic. Recent attempt to deprive the cities of Detroit and Port Huron of home rule; for its flagrant violations of its party pledges to give the people of Wayne and Kent counties primary election reform, at the dictation of an absentee United States Senator, who owes his seat in that body to the use of money in delegate conventions; for its extravagance in State affairs; for its failure to equalize taxation, as repeatedly promised by party platforms. We demand the right of home rule for all municipalities, ard the election of United States Senators by the people. We believe that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the gov erned; and in order that the governed may have that full and free voice in govern mental affairs to which they are entitled. We favor the right of direct legislation by the people themselves of the laws under which they are 0 live. We indorse the efforts of Senator Heine to secure a constitutional amendment to the accomplishment of this reform. We believe that for the proper safeguarding of the rights of the people the minority should be represented on the supreme bench; and we appeal to all good citi zens of the State to aid us in the election of a Democrat Justice of the Supreme Court in order to moderate the partisan character of the present bench.

ISBN: 0871953633

A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

ISBN: 0870205285

In Every Root an Anchor, writer and arborist R. Bruce Allison celebrates Wisconsin's most significant, unusual, and historic trees. More than one hundred tales introduce us to trees across the state, some remarkable for their size or age, others for their intriguing histories. From magnificent elms to beloved pines to Frank Lloyd Wright's oaks, these trees are woven into our history, contributing to our sense of place. They are anchors for time-honored customs, manifestations of our ideals, and reminders of our lives' most significant events. For this updated edition, Allison revisits the trees' histories and tells us which of these unique landmarks are still standing. He sets forth an environmental message as well, reminding us to recognize our connectedness to trees and to manage our tree resources wisely. As early Wisconsin conservationist Increase Lapham said, "Tree histories increase our love of home and improve our hearts. They deserve to be told and remembered."
