Tbe man has already bpen decided upon. portant position for more than a year Ailed at the present time by John C. Ketcham. Everybody knows who the man la that has been agreed upon by tbo machine and wp are not going to say that be Is not up to the standard of scholarship, experience and general fitness which the school commlsslonersblp demands. Wo suppose he Is. If be la not, the responsibility rests upon tbe machine, not upon tbe people. And that Is one of the beauties ot hav- He red of all accountability In tbe mai­ ler ot choosing tbelr officer*. So, there Is nothing for tbe republi­ can voters of the county to do but to ratify tbe will of the machine. A pri­ mary election or a convention must be held of course, and the voters must go to the polls and drop in tbelr ballots on tho Aral Monday in April, but that will only be a form. Tbo people will not have been called upon to bother their heads about picking out a proper and satisfactory man to manato tbe schools affairs of tbo county. Tbo whole thing I* all cut and dried and haa been for a long time. But some one may say that tho people ought to have a voice io selecting the man whom they want to dll this office, even though their judgment may not bo m Infallible as that of tho machine. Furthermore, it may be contended that tbe office of school commissioner is pre­ eminently ton-partisan and should be Ailed without resorting to machine polities. Out upon such reasoning! Dore not everybody know that tho present school commissioner, bright been very much 6f % politician during hla whole term, tn fact has been one of tbo balance wheels In the republican organization? Why, then, should there be soy need of divorcing tbo ■obool Interests of tho county from re­ publican politic*? No. let us ocntlnuo cl* I ng our Inalienable rights as free American citizens.

Tbe old notion that only old men, gray and reverend with the load of years and tbe wisdom of experience, arc fit to be sent to tho upper branch of our legislatures has-been pretty ncsrly dissipated In these modern days. Many of tbe senators of today are young men, mere boys as compared to the veterans of that body. Some of tbo stales, however, seem to cling to tbo old idea aa to senatorial fitness. Ala­ bama, for Instance, has recently sent both her long lime senators bank to Washington for another term. Ono of them Is elgbty-tbroe aud the Other eighty-seven yearn old. They arc both able mco, but it can hardly be doubted that extreme old ago will be something ot a handicap un thelrcapaclty to servo their stalo as younger men might do. Michigan's senators have of late been men disqualified by tbo limitations of ago and declining strength to give their constituents the same degreevf service which younger men would bo able to render.

Senator TUynorof Maryland, In hla recent xpwcb critlcixlng the prerid ent for aaautnlng power that doea not conMilutlonslly belong to him, hat tbown tbe democratic party the great and urgent duty that faces it- “I beliere," be says, “tbxl if lhe democratic party would lakeupuiU battle cry tbo re­ served rights of tho stales and lhe in­ violate constitutional distinction of tbe legislative, tbe judicial and tbe eseculive departments, weceald ralfy around the doctrine tbe inte.llgent eoffragex of our countrymen." Our whole system of government de­ pends upon tho prevorvation of tbo equipoise of lhe three departments in­ to which lhe constitution divides it. Lei any one of these departments in­ fringe upon tbe powers that belong to another department, and tbe whole fabric of our government is affected and our liberties are In danger. There have been times when tho legislative branch threatened to dominate the ex­ ecutive, as in the days of tbe Impeach­ ment of Andrew Johnson. Tbo failure of that attempt U> discredit an execu­ tive who waa obnoxious to congress greatly strengthened tho preeldwoUkl office. Today tho pendulum has swung to lhe other extreme aod there Is serious danger that the president through the new policy of a very loose construction of the constitution, may become a virtual If not an actual, die­ later. Mr. Hoosevolt, because of his many admirable qualities and because he has had tbo people behind blm, has mag­ nified tbe executive branch of our gov­ ernment lo a point of actual danger to lhe balance of the complicated struc­ ture of our federal government. Be­ cause of bls popularity ho has com­ pelled ooogrros to do things Il did not want to do. And so far as be has ex­ ercised this Influence within constitu­ tional bounds and by reason of public approval, ho cannot be justly criticised. But the tendency of all this prestige and popularity enjoyed by any man, however good and honest bis Inten­ tions may be Is towards imperialism. Roosevelt, high minded and honor­ able though be be, is also impetuous. Impatient of conventionalities and re­ straints of custom aod diplomacy, over ambitious to enforce bls own Ideas, almost Imperious in bls tendencies. Becsi>sa of bis popularity he does tbiaga which, while they might be looked upon complacently If tbeir ef­ fects were but temporary will become precedents for bls successor, sod thereby assume a really serious im­ portance. Senator Raynor has alluded to some of tbees extra constitutional acMof the president, aa In the case of tbe Santo Domiago treaty, which be hMwirtuaily carried Into effect without tbeeanctloo of tbe senate, his intrusion upon state governments, as in tbe case of bis let­ ter te Governor Guild of Maasaobusetts aad hla Influencing legislation by means of the powers of patronage at his command. Ills high time that the attention of tboeowotry be called to thia ©entrailsIxing. (ssperlallxing tendency of tbe president aod bin followers. Because lhe presi.leot is an able aod patriotic mau does wet detract from the danger. We are drifting away from the conMlleUoa ao a result of tboBoosoveltian dcotriae, recently «o clearly Mated by Secretary Beet. Thia new doctrine would build up, by wstabMthlagl aew prseedeata, by kose cooatractiont of the written eoostitutlon. by aosuming tude of Japan. Congress can hardly fall to hoed these conditions by mak­ ing heavy appropriations for defend­ ing our Insular possessionsThen again our relations with Cuba promise to be troublesom-j. Tbo Cu­ bans, In spite of all lhe help and en­ couragement which the American gov­ ernment Is giving them, are likely io fall in their attempt to govern them­ selves In an orderly and constitutional way. And If they do fail, tbe United States Is In honor bound to Interfere. Such lalerfereoc-j will create some very hard problems for tho Washing­ ton government to solve, questions in­ volving the status of tbe island, the tariff, etc. Thus, whether we want to bo a world power aod meddle In the affairs of other nations or not, dtwtloy seems to bo forcing us to assume each a role, and whether we cars to spend untold millions in creating and maintaining a big navy or not, our world wide inter­ vals will compel it. We are an Imper­ ial power and what can we do about fl but take the consequences, even if they do come high. The Anthony Fui Fred Spangemic -WXX.MAX tit® SMTIX. Elected U.

IT 18 IN TH18 WAV THAT THE EXPLORER 18 M08T HAM­ PERED IN HI8 JOURNEY ACROSS THE DRIFTING POLAR ICE. One consequently must be prepared every year to meet similar con* ditions in the north, and sledge journeys across tho polar ice, there­ fore, arc always more or less difficult as compared with sledge jour­ neys ALONG THE COAST of arctic lands or across the inland ice of Greenland. One cannot expect to cover such great distances daily in the north polar sea as is possible, for instance, during journeys over ice along coasts, and this is the ease even if one travels across thq polar sea IN THE BEST SEASON, which is the early spring. Later in the summer the difficulties are greatly increased, as the ice is then broken up in floes, with channels between, which are. not soon covered by ice, as the temperature of the air rises too high. But what makes the sledge traveling across the north polar ice bo difficult is not only tho open water lanes and channels, which have evi­ dently caused Peary much trouble, but it is also tho UNEVEN SUR­ FACE of tho ice which ia formed by the ice pressures piling up tho ice into “pressure ridges and hummocks,” u was especially experienced by Markham. These are difficult to cross with heavy aledges,-which generally have to be carried. Wo thus see that a aledgo expedition across tho ice to tho pole from, say, Grant Land, Greenland, or perhaps some still unknown land to the west, stretching farther north, will have to cope with GREAT DIFFICULTIES. None the less, I am of tho opinion that an expe­ rienced sledge traveler like Peary, with an adequate equipment and, above all, with good dogs AND PLENTY OF THEM, will bo able to accomplish the task. A aledgo expedition across the polar ice from tho NORTHERN­ MOST KNOWN LAND to the north polotnd back again is not at all an impossibility, and if ANY man haa tho neceasary qualification! to carry it out it ia certainly Peary- May wo hope that wo soon shall see thia expedition carried out, one aledgo expedition from tho west northward and one “drifting expedition” from the Bering strait!

O IT WOULD BE FAR BETTER IF OUR BANKS COULD KEEP RESERVE MONEY ON HAND AS RESERVE AND FURNISH THE CASH CURRENCY IN BANK NOTES. This is a matter of far greater importance to the general public and the people engaged in all lines of business than it is to the banks them­ selves, except so far aa they may be interested in tbe general prosper­ ity, which, of course, is tho truer and HIGHER INTEREST of a bank. Tho banks can view with equanimity an active demand for money and an increase in the rate of interesL Tho scarcity of money and tbo higher rate of intereat make the handling of the crops raised for our farming population more difficult AND MORE EXPENSIVE. This increased cost must ultimately be paid by the man who raises the crops. He is therefore more vitally interested than any one else in an improvement in our facilities for providing CROP MOVING FUNDS. Any financial disturbance caused by tightness of .money ia felt more directly and keenly, perhaps, by men engaged in commercial, manufacturing or mining industries. All modern business must neces­ sarily bo done largely ON CREDIT. A bill, the object of which is to increase the elasticity of our cur­ rency, has been recommended by tho banking and currency commit­ tee to tho house of representatives dealing with this subject. It may not bo a perfect bill and may not give us ideal conditions in our cur­ rency laws, but it is A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. Its rosin features have the indorsement and support of the New York Chamber of Commerce, the leading commercial body of tho United States, and of a commission appointed by the American Bankers* asso­ ciation, embracing representatives from all the leading banks of the, country.

George, the colonists and traders at the western posts retained in a large measure their habits, man­ ners and traditions. Detroit, at this time, was a village community. Outside the garrison at the fort and a few traders whose shops and storehouses were near at hand, the fixed inhabitants for the most part lived upon the front of their long narrow farms which extended from the river back into the forest sometimes for miles. Shortly after the Revolution, Major Matthews declared that had the British Peace Commissioners seen this delightful place they surely never would have signed away the right of the nation to it; adding, that in point of climate, soil, situation and the beauties of nature nothing could exceed it. Detroit was not the only western post, but it was the established military headquarters, the chief distributing place of presents to the Indians, and. the center of British influence in the Northwest. It stood like an oasis in the forest wilderness. To the north stretched the widening, rippling blue of Lake St. Clair and beyond the tall primeval pines stood darkly silhouetted against the sky, southward the sun scintillated from the waves of Lake Erie’s wind swept • face, while to the west the solitude of the unbroken forest, silent, mysterious and grand, greeted the traveller now just as a century before it had greeted LaSalle when he first traced his forest path across the state. The fort garrisoned by a hundred British regulars con­ stituted nearly the only military force in all the region ex­ tending from Niagara to the Pacific, from the Ohio to •Hud­ son’s Bay. The business was almost wholly concerned in the fur trade. A few farmers tilled the soil and their crops and produce found ready market among the merchants, at the post, and among those outfitting for the Indian trade; but by far the greater part of those dependent on the post were Indians too shiftless to work and couriers des bois of all races attracted by the wild life, reckless adventure and freedom from restraint which naturally followed embarking in the Indian trade; bold, hardy, reckless, quick with the gun, familiar with every lake and stream, the arts of woodcraft to them an open book; they packed their baled peltries across the portages, poled their battcaux up the rapids that often almost barred their way, and mingled with the red men of the forest with an ease which only their indifference to civili­ zation could beget. They were not ideal citizens. Major Matthews, writing to General Haldimand in 1787, says, "In trade the lowest of all the profession resort to these obscure places, they are without education, sentiment and many of them without common honesty. These are perpetually over­ reaching one another, knowing that they are too distant for the immediate effects of the law to overtake them.” ' Here was a free and unostentatious hospitality and a 1 social atmosphere that spurned restraint. The red sash and ' tasselled toque of the half breed bushranger was seen side by E side with the scarlet coats of British subalterns and the flasht. ing eyes of Basque and Norman maids were seen as they I danced indiscriminately with merchants, traders, bushrangers £ and officers of the fort. At times these hardy pioneers faced | danger without fear but far more often they chose to placate E' with presents the savage red men rather than run the risk of ambuscade or open war. II. Civil government at Detroit was conspicuous only by its absence. Captain Hamilton while commandant at Detroit > retained his rank in the British regulars but he was also L lieutenant governor of Detroit and was included in a com­ L mission of the peace of the entire province at large. Hamil­ ton, writing to General Haldimand in 1778, indicated that he F doubted the authority seemingly conferred upon him. k Patrick Sinclair when about to be commissioned lieutenant l governor of Michillimackinack in «779> questioned directly 1 . the wisdom of accepting a commission uniting into his own r hands both the civil and military authority. Ou August 20, K *779. General Haldimand wrote him that: “As lieutenant governor you are of course civil magisE tratc. Mr. Hamilton whose commission is expressly the f same as yours has always acted as such in cases where it was necessary." Judge Frazer in his introduction to the Territorial Laws I Michigan says: * * “In all matters of controversy between the inhabitants Ejttitice was meted out by the commandant of the post in a ». summary manner. The party complaining obtained a notifi­ cation from him to his adversary of his complaint accompanied I by a command'to render justice. If this liad no effect he was t . notified to appear before the commandant on a particular day J and answer the complaint and if this last notice was neglected ? sergeant and file of men were sent to bring him—no sheriff no taxation of coats. The recusent was fined and kept in L prison until jie did his adversary justice." k This agrees Substantially with Major Matthews' letter to |L General Haldimand written in 1787 where it is said: : “The only resource in all matters in dispute is the coms moding officer, for onr justices of the peace it seems are not E authorized to take cognizance of matters relating to property, on which almost every difference arises so tliat if the com­ manding officer is indolent or indifferent he will not hear them at all, or if he does hear and decide his judgment tho perhaps equitable may be very contrary to law and hereafter involve him in very unpleasant consequences besides tliat, acting in the capacity of a judge his whole time is so em­ ployed that he cannot pay the necessary attention to his pro­ fessional duties. It is much to be wished that some mode for «»$ Prompt and effectual administration of justice were established, for the want of it is a temptation to many to take advantages and commit little chicaneries disgraceful to society and distressing to individuals. In all matters where I cannot clearly decide I make the parties refer to arbitration binding themselves to submit to the decision." . The condition which existed under Major Matthews had existed at Detroit for many years. In 1778 we find Lieuten­ ant Governor Hamilton writing the Governor General of Canada, Guy Carleton, that "the persons resident at this place are chiefly traders and must give up their business if they accepted the place of judge, as it requires the knowledge of two languages besides some acquaintance with law proceed­ ings. I cannot find anyone here who will undertake it.” And again during the same year we find him writing General Haldimand that: "A very able and amiable person (Mr. Owen) was destined for the place of judge at this post. His absence which I have sufficient cause to lament has oc­ casioned me to act at the risque of being reprehensible on many occasions • * • I am obliged to act as judge and in ^several cases as executor of justice." III. Judge Cooley in his history of Michigan says that "at the beginning of 1767 Captain Turnbull who wns then in command issued to Philip Dejean a commission as Justice of the Peace but with such specification of powers as seemed designed to make his court one of arbitration and concilia­ tion only.” Mr. Utley in the first volume of Michigan as a Province, Territory and State says: "One Philip Dejean was appointed by Hamilton a Justice of the Peace and to him apparently was given jurisdiction in all matters civil and criminal.” In a marriage contract of July 27,1770, Dejean describes himself as "Philip Dejean, Royal Notary by act of law, residing at Detroit,” and not as Justice of the Peace. In some cases temporary commissions as justices of the peace were granted by the commandants of the posts but these commissions were in all cases ratified by the Governor Gen­ eral. If Dejean was commissioned by the commanding officer at Detroit as a Justice of the Peace this ratification seems to have been overlooked. Lieutenant Governor Hamilton in a letter to General Haldimand written in 1778 says: “Mr. Dejean who has been justice of the peace here a long time is indefatigable but he as well as myself require to be better informed and better supported." Judge C. I. Walker in a paper read before the Wisconsin Historical Society says "Criminal justice was administered by a justice of the governor’s appointment and a jury was pro­ vided for in criminal cases by the Quebec Act and the sen­ tence of death was more than once inflicted. In February, 1777, Governor General Carlton wrote Hamilton that he was included in a commission of the peace of the entire province, adding: "In that capacity you have a right to issue your war­ rants for apprehending and sending down, any persons guilty of criminal offenses in the district at least such as are of con­ sequence enough to deserve taking the journey but these must be signed by you and not by Mr. Dejean whose author­ ity is unknown here.” The Quebec act was passed in 1774 but these instructions to Lieutenant Governor Hamilton from the Governor General arc not entirely consistent with Ham­ ilton’s letter above quoted. Again on September 15,1777, we find the Governor General writing Hamilton saying: "I am not authorized to delegate the power of appointing civil officers to any persons whatsoever.” This correspondence establishes that Dejean’s authority as Justice of the Peace was unknown at the office of the Governor General and therefore it is improbable that his commission if he had one from the Lieutenant Governor was ever ratified and that Hamilton had no pow-jr or authority to appoint Dejean a Justice of the Peace at all for in the same letter the Governor General says: “Neither the civil or mili­ tary officers of your settlement can be properly authorized to act in their several capacities without commissions from the Governor or Commander in Chief of the Province.” These facts however were not sufficient to disconcert De­ jean who was at all events a Justice of the Peace de facto, as some learned to their sorrow, because his orders were backed up by military authority. We can see Dejean even now, short, fat and swarthy, of active mercurial temperament, with an exaggerated idea of his own importance, with a fixed conviction that his official dignity must lie upheld at all hazards, a pompous, pious bungler who was willing to send any suspect to the gallows on short notice for the fee there was in it. His office, one scant story in height, roughly constructed of logs chinked with timber and plastered with mud, with shake roof and puncheon floor, the rude door creaking upon its wooden hinges, the latchstring hanging outside, stood a short distance from the site of Detroit’s present city hall. The floor was plentifully besprinkled with tobacco juice, which from every part of the room had fallen short of the fire-place at which it was aimed, a few hand made chairs, a table whose whitewood top had been planed by hand and above which were rudely constructed pigeon-holes, the hand­ iwork of some frontier artisan, completed its equipment. It was here in March, 1776, there was brought before Dejean a Frenchman named Jean Contcncinau, charged with stealing furs from Abbott & Finchley, a commercial firm, and Ann Wyley, a negro slave, charged with stealing a purse of six guineas from the same firm, the money having been found upon her person. Dejean impannelled a jury of six Englishmen and six Frenchmen and before them the case was tried. . Mr. Utley says they were both convicted. Judge Frazer who says that he gave the original papers in tbe case to Mr. tamniau for his history of Michigan, says they were con­ victed, sentenced to be executed and executed accordingly. Judge Walker says the jury were unable to agree but that Dejean finding that the facts were very much against them sentenced them. He agrees with Judge Frazer that they were hanged, while Lamman who as Judge Frazer says had the original paoers says that the man was hanged and the woman reprieved. Undoubtedly one at least of them was executed. We have seen that Hamilton regretted that he had acted as executor of justice and in a manner thr.t seemed repre­ hensible. Others undoubtedly had the same view for the grand jury of the Court of King’s Bench in Montreal on September 7, 1778, filed a presentment against both Ham­ ilton and Dejean charging them as follows: “The jurors for our Sovereign Lord the King for the Body of the District of Montreal do present that whereas by certain testimonies and evidences to them offered it hath appeared that one Philip Dejean of Detroit, in the district aforesaid, hath at divers times during the years of our Lord 1775, 1770, 1777, at Detroit aforesaid in and under the gov­ ernment and command of Henry Hamilton, Esq., the Lieu­ tenant Governor of Detroit^ aforesaid, acted and transacted divers unjust and illegal, tyrannical and felonious acts and things contrary to good government, and the safety of his Majesty’s Liege subjects. The jurors aforesaid upon their oath aforesaid are bounden to present further to this Honor­ able Court that it may be stated and represented to His Excellency, His Majesty’s Governor in Chief, in and over this province that the said Henry Hamilton hath not only remained at Detroit aforesaid and been witness to several illegal acts and doings of him the said Philip Dejean, but has tolerated, suffered and permitted the same under his gov­ ernment, guidance and direction, and as commissioner as proven upon oath before this inquest, hath authorized the said illegal acts and doings of the said Philip Dejean.” Before their arrest Hamilton and Dejean both left De­ troit and before either of them were reached there was a change in tbe administration of Canadian affairs. Lord George Germain, now Governor General, in a communica­ tion under date of April 16, 1779, says: “The presentments of the grand jury at Montreal against Lieut. Governor Hamilton and Mr. Dejean are expressiue of a greater degree of jealousy than the transaction complained of in the then circumstances of the province appeared to warrant Such stretches of authority are however only to beexcused by unavoidable necessity and the justness and fitness of the occasion and you will therefore direct the Chief Justice to examine the proofs producedof the criminal’s guilt and if he shall be of opinion tliat he merited the punishment he met with, tho’ irregularly inflicted, it is iu the King’s pleas­ ure that you do order the Attorney General to grant a nolle prosequi and stop all further proceedings in the matter." . IV. On July 4, 1778, George Rogers Clark, fresh from his victorious campaign against Kaskaskia, Cahokia and the settlements on the Illinois, captured Vincennes, a settlement of about seven hundred inhabitants on the Wabash river at or near the present site of Vincennes, Indiana. Hamilton was anxious to dislodge the Americans, and having obtained per­ mission from Montreal be set out with a considerable expe­ dition by way of the Miami and the Wabash to attempt its recapture. Clark was absent with his men and the post fell easy prey to Hamilton’s superior force. It was necessary to send supplies from Detroit to Vin­ cennes and on February 9, 1779, an auxiliary expedition under command of Adhemar SL Martin left Detroit for that place. News of his indictment had undoubtedly reached Dejean for Judge Walker says: “By the nrgent request of Justice Dejean he was per­ mitted to accompany the expedition in order to obtain from Governor Hamilton his warrant or authority to justify his own conduct as magistrate and especially as to the executions already mentioned." News of the British success had reached Clark at Kas­ kaskia and he now undertook by a perilous winter march across the snow and ice-covered prairie to reach Vincennes. This he did after great hardships and intense suffering on the part of his men. Hamilton surrendered to the Kentucky colonel February 23, 1779, and learning of the approach of Adhemar St Martin’s expedition laden with supplies and provisions, Clark dispatched Captain Helm who had been compelled to surrender the fort at Vincennes to Hamilton to capture it. This Helm did, and on March 5, 1779, Dejean was brought to Vincennes a prisoner of war. Dejean had letters and papers for Hamilton who says, “Mr. Dejean heard we had fallen into the hands cf the rebels but had not suf­ ficient presence of mind to destroy the papers which with everything else was seized by the rebels." In a letter written April 19, 1779,-by Moses Henry, an attache of Clark's army, Dejeau is spoken of as the "Chief Judge of Detroit” Early in March, 1779, Dejean together with Hamilton and others started their overland journey of twelve hundred miles to their destination, the Virginia prison at Williams­ burg, where they arrived June 15 of the same year. Here they remained for some time. A parole was offered the pris­ oners but while its terms seemed to Hamilton to be too onerous to be accepted by him they did not apparently so affect Dejean who after one hundred and twenty days in prison accepted the parole offered him, it seems largely through the influence of Thomas Bentley and returned to Vincennes. July 28,1780, Dejean wrote the commandant at Detroit and referring to the charges against him and Gov­ ernor Hamilton says: “The only thing in which I can reproach myself is in having too blindly obeyed his orders. I flatter myself that if the affair had been conducted according to the real tenor of the law he only would be to blame.” In this same letter he declares that he cannot visit De­ troit without violating the terms of his parole and urges the commanding officer to allow Madame Dejean and his family to come to Vincennes. On the same day he despatched a similar letter to General Haldimand. At this time the French were actively assisting the Americans. Dejean was undoubtedly satisfied to remain at Vincennes which was within the territory actually controlled by the colonists and whose French inhabitants were as friendly to them as was prudent when their proximity to Detroit is considered. Here Philip Dejean disappears from view. Far down the winding Wabash near the spot immortalized by "Alice of Old Vincennes" lie the remains of Philip Dejean, Grand Judge of Detroit, whose name will be known to history Jong after you and I have passed away. His only claim to tame, his outrageous usurpations of power, his illegal and arbitrary condemnations and executions and the fact that he was tbe first judicial officer who dwelt within and exercised juris­ diction over any port of the territory now constituting th: State of Michigan.

As has bee previously stated In these letters, the situation is quite critical and blds fair to become more so unless relief la atforded. A few day* ago Warden Ful­ ler of tbe Ionia prison wan Iwfore the joint committees arguing strenuously In favor of the elimination from lhe constitution I lie provision that "no nie chanlral trade hereafter slinll be taught to convicts In the state prison, except for the manufacture of those articles of which the chief supply for home consumption I* -Imported from other states or countries." In view of the recent decision of tbe supreme court on this suldert, Warden fuller declared that unless the con­ stitution la amended as suggeete*! there will soon be 500 Idle convicts In the prison of which he turn charge. Tbo groat financial buiden and the danger of maintaining these prisoners tn Idleness waa dwelt upon, as it will be neceiwary to employ free labor to do all the baking, plumbing, cooking, painting, carpenter work, etc, about the prison which Is now done by Inmates. The same situation con­ fronts tbe other two state prison*. so It will tie seen that the condition Is a serious one. The campaign which re­ sulted In the recent Judli-lnl Interpret))tlon.of tbe constitution mis waged by union labor, which. It tins been sug gested. will be glad to cooperate lu measures of relief If the case is prop erly presented. Binder Twine Plant at Jackson.

Not so Katrina. A mother Is too ab­ sorbed In her child to worry about Its future.* She contented bergolf with tbe care of little Peter, aa bo was named, trusting to bls own strength when be became n man to bring blm comfort. Tbo father never got over croaking, as tho mother called it. about Peter’s future, and when tbe boy was old enough to play with little Gretchen Becker, the daughter of George Beck­ er, wbo occupied tbe adjoining farm, Ilans said: "Bee, there Is more misery coming. By and by they will marry nud bring more children Into tbo world to Buffer." Thia constant forebodlug bung like a dark cloud over Katrina’s life. It tended to draw her nearer to ber son and estrange ber from ber tius band. Tbe mother gets tbe greater port of a child's affections, and little Peter showed bls preference for bls mother from the first. Tills was nat­ ural. How could he love n man who was continually telling blm and bls mother that ho would grow up to beg­ gary! Oue matter especially tended to make this division In tbe family of tbq father on one aide and tbe mother and sou ou tbe other. Hans bad a secret which be told neither of them. From little Peter's blrtb every now snd then be would go somewhere at night after they bad gone to bed, always remain­ ing away about tba same length of time, an hour. Katrina did not ask her that If be wished her to know be would tell ber. When her son became old enough for ber to talk wllb him about bls father’s absences, tbe secret drew them closer together and separated them tbo more from tbo husband and father. Peter suggested that be follow hla father to see whore be went aud what be did, but Katrina aald "No," and Peter, though very young, had the good sense to agree with ber. As Peter emerged from childhood to enter upon youth It was noticed that be and Gretchen were an devoted aa ever. None but themselves knew childish friendship and the love of maturity, but there came a time when had been crossed. Katrina dreaded the moment when her husband would say fools sowing tbo wind to reap tbe whirlwind." But fora long while Hana bad ceased bls croaking and said noth­ ing about what be saw plainly. Hana was a hardworking man and a good husband and father. Neither his wife nor son had any complaint to to buy stock and tools for bls farm, ami before Peter came of age bad farm and stock and tools paid for.

Mrs. Russell Sage haa lately entered the race of the multi­ millionaires to see who can do the most good with the embarrassment of riches which bas come to them. She has re­ cently given ten million dollars to es­ tablish a fund the Income of which will be used In bettering the social and liv­ ing conditions of the poor, and It is said that she intends to Increase her benevolent gifts several times ten mil­ lions before her plans are wholly real­ ized. Il la quite worthy of note that all these charitable undertakings arc most carefully and systematically planned ao poor and unfortunate Instead of directly helping Individuals. It is colleges and libraries and hospitals and all manner of organized charities upon which these millions are to be expended. No per­ sonal cases of denltutlon and suffering aro to be sought out and directly re­ lieved by handing over a sum of money to them. No doubt such a policy of organized and general bendvnlence is wise. Tbe poor and tbe distressed can be most benefited,not by pamperlxing them and destroying tbelr self reliance and self respect, but by removing the obstacles, the social, the Industrial, the living Inequalities that press upot them and kesp them from lifting themselves to a higher plane of existence.

Mr. Ketcbsm Is a genius In tho organization aud. execution of school matters. He bus succeeded not because of hb lock of <■ pec lai training but in spite of II. Gonlu-es however are most rare and If we have a man who hM added to average ability the benefits of normal tralniog, bo Is the man wo should elect. My second point b that tbe man who is to supervise our rural schools should boons who has not only taught a country school but one who has gonu on to teach In a bigger and higher school. His advance proves beyond question hb success m a school man. Moreover bls views sre wider and be has a basis of comparison that enables hltn to tell when a school is good or poor. Also because of bls higher position be bs> that respect of the teachers which makes lesdorshlp easier for him. My third *uggo*tlon is tbst what we want in our commbsloner Is the per­ sonal qualities that wHI tnakehlm work well with his teachers and the school patroos. There is no position under heaven which demands these same qualities more than the prloclpslsbtp of * high school of 150 boys and glrb at the age when they think like Job s friends, that all wisdom will be buried with them. By ho'dl ng just such a pos­ ition through * long term of ’ c*ni with constantly advancing salary and with repeated tokens of affection and es­ teem from teachers, patrons, and pu­ pils. Mr. Edger has proved conclus­ ively that bo has these qualities In high degree. Ho will make a tactful, sympathetic, firm leader of our county educational forces.

The one candidate hu never taught In tho graded school, tbe other ba* taught In both rural and graded schools. Tbe one bu climbed no fur­ ther up tho Isdder of knowledge than to graduate from the high school and qo take some special work at tbe Big Rapids Institute.

Tho Importance of this special train­ ing Is not bo lightly estimated. It la more essential today than ever before that our school commissioners have the special pedagogical training which can be obtained no where else Ithan In tbe state normal college.

This bill la favored by Governor Warner who is apparently bent upon covering his administration with glory by doing some greet thing for the peo- While this bill, known aa the Wet­ more bill, Is meeting with much sup­ port, there may bo reason for believ­ ing that It la a llUle too sweeping.

Whether tho Wetmore or tho com­ promise bill Is passed, should depend upon the facts as they are carefully and fully considered. There certainly ought not to be such hasty and Incon­ siderate action as will work barm to tbe railroads.

CONTRACT FOR PAVING LET Two Important steps have been taken this week In tbe paving matter. First wu tho opening of the blds of con­ tractors last Friday. There were six blds, three from Grand Rapids, one each from Kalamazoo, Detroit and Lansing. Tbe bid of 0. J. Carpenter. 125,714.00, was the lowest and the con­ tract waa awarded to him. It calls for a high grade of brick paving with con­ crete foundation, of Slate street from the west line of Broadway to tbe east line of Creek street, Jefferson from State to tbe south line of Court, and Church from State to the Michigan Central railroad. Before the paving can begin the re­ moval of tbe telegraph and telephone poles will have to be accomplished. Thia necessitates the establishing of public alleys and ths council are tak­ ing steps to do this. Yesterday afternoon tbe council held another session and opened tbe blds for the purchase of the paving bonds.

He moved off at a pace that astonish ed me. How bo dared proceed at what on a clear day I would have considered an ordinary gait I could hot Imagine. Now and again above tho contusion of noises I heard a tapping as of some one. bitting the pavement with a stick.

On Tuesday and Wednesday Judge Smith heard the case of Alta Ludwick and Lutlcla Foster of Grand Rapids, who own summer property al the south end of Long lake against the township of Hope, the action being an appeal from the town board to restrain the construction of a public highway across their property. The proposed road Is laid 40 feet beyond low water mark to enable the township to construct a wharf or dock for the aouommodatioo of campers and others ot Cloverdale. It is the contention of the property owners that the township cannot ex­ tend the highway beyond low water mark on the basis that the highway laws do not permit this.

In tbe course of an argument before tbe supreme court of lhe United States a few days ago, Col. James Hamilton Interesting things and some very time­ ly ones. Without violating the proprietiM required In addressing that august tribunal he very likely startled lhe learned judges somewhat from their placid dignity by appealing to them to stand with lhe president and lhe people In the struggle against tbe encroachments of the corporations. ' He called attention to lhe well known practice of lhe corporations and vested propertire to use tba courts to lhe full­ est limit to avoid lhe payment^of taxes and tho duty of clUjujushlp generally. This has brought about the present re­ volt against corporations. "The limo thane contentions of delay and vex­ atious prolonged litigations founded upon gauzy theories having for their purpose the avoidance of public duly and the defeat of government, should cease and that this court should make an announcement from Its high chancery that will be a warning-to tboao wbo shall hereafter attempt II and a menace to those who shall seek to thwart lhe legitimate exercise of the powers of government by just such perversions ot the federal constitution as were attempted In this case." tbe perpetuity of our Institutions, has been menaced by tbe practice of cor­ porations complained of by Mr. Lewis. Tbe courts may be entirely just and loyal lo their high duties, they may alm to be unprejudiced and found all tbelr decisions aud base all tbelr pro­ cedures upon justice and law, tbo fact still remains that a feeling has been growing up In tho popular mind that they sympathize with aud protect cor­ porate Interests rather than those of the plain masses of the people. This exceedingly unfortunate senti­ ment has been fostered by tbo defiant, militant attitude of tho corporations, an attitude aa dangerous as it Is un­ patriotic.

The local option bill known aa tho Lugers Bill seems to bo ss fair aud moderate a measure of temperance leg­ islation as could be desired. It recog­ nizes the principle of localigovernment to tho fullest extent by giving to lhe people in every election precinct tho option of permitting or prohibiting liquor selling within Its precincts. This ought not to Interfere with the business of running saloons in such .districts as may be willing to have them. At the same time those pre­ cincts which do not want lhe business to bo carried on in their midst will lw able to protect themselves. The saloon question Is an exceeding­ ly difficult one lo manage, largely be­ cause public sentiment Is so hopelessly divided on it. By localizing lhe prob­ lem as Is proposed by the Lugers bill this division of sentiment will no long­ er be such an obstacle to the successful solution of tbo problem. Tbo majority In liquor drinking districts can have as many saloons as they want, and the majority in non-ilquor drinking dis­ tricts can keep out lhe detested saloon*. Thus the rights of lhe majority will be fully sustained.

In spite of his defects as an orator. And surely this western lawyer and philanthropist has done something the recital of which from hla own lips is worth hearing. Be has found tbe key to the problem of saving a vast army of boys from crime and making them good cltizeas. While the ponderous machinery of the lav- and the courts has failed to check the growing tide of juvenile crime, ibis Denver lawyer, un­ til recently obscure and unknown, has hit upon the expedient of love and sympathy and patient study of con­ ditions as the true way to save tbe boys of the slums. He would remove tho youthful offenders from control of the regular courts and tbe vicious atmos­ phere of the jails and establish juvenile courts and reformatory Institutions. His lecture, or rather talk, was a plain recital of bls experience with the street gamins of Denver and of bow, by a itutiy of tboir environment and an effort to put himself In tbeir place so u to understand their ways of looking at things, be could win their confldence and willing co-operation In bls efforts Ui lift them out ot tho criminal plane in which they live and make honest men of them.

The big factory was lighted and in full operation. The workmen were running latbes, drills, planers, etc., and huge castings weigh­ ing a thousand or more pounds were being handled with great facility. Some ot the presses are ponderous af­ fairs. One of these castings weighed JtMJO pounds. A largo press just fl wish­ ed and ready for shipment, capable of exerting a striking force ot 100 tons was being run In order to test tL Manager T. J. Potter and Superin­ tendent Joseph McKnlgbt received the visitors and courteously showed them through tho shops. Then they wore factory which was brilliantly lighted. Here all were served to light refresh­ ments and the ladles were presented with flowers. Altogether the affair was a happy success and reflected much credit upon the gentlemen who have brought this important industry to Hastings, show­ ing them to be public spirited and fully alive to the welfare of tbo city. port, Hastings. Middleville. The Hast­ ings lads are putting up an excellent port from the citizens. There is no city base bal I team, and the high school worth witnessing.

The Jameatowoexposition waeopened 1MI week 90 time and according u> pro­ gram, with imposing ceremonies, vast crowds In attendance and an address by the president of the United States. Though tho buildings are not complet­ ed and the exhibit! are far from being ready the opening oerstnnnios were none the less brilliant. For they de­ pended more upon tho military and nasal demonstrations than upon ioduotrla), commercial or other trophies of peace, and the battleships of all nations were there in all tbeir grim splendor. This last and, on Ils military side, greatust of our expositions, will be chiefly notable for its historic signifi­ cance. Il will no doubt be well worth ylsltlng solely on account of the display of relics connected with our early history. Jamestown, aa every school boy knows, was the first place to be set­ tled by the English adrentarers who laid the foundations of this republic. Around It duster many recollections and Incidents that go to make up American history. To visit the expo­ sition la to make vivid tbe stirring events of our past and to Intensify our love of our country and our Institutions, purchased for us by mighty struggle and heroic sacrifice. . The associations and tbe educational features made prominent thereby will give the Jamestown Ter-contennary Exposition a distinction of its own. lu military side has been deplored by the advocates of universal peace aa tending to arouse a dangerous military spirit in our people at a time when extraordin­ ary efforts are being made to advance the cause of universal peace. There Is force In these criticisms no doubt. But, after ail, the peaceful dis­ position of the American people, tlielr absorption In tbo arts of peace, their kindlv relations towards all tho world, are not likely to be disturbed by the naval reviews in Hampton Roads. And it may be. well to point to tbe kindly expressions of friendship and esteem for the United States which the diplo­ mats of all tbe great powers present at the opening ceremonies uttered as an offset to any warlike influence pro­ duced by the presence of tbe battle ships. At any rate the exposition at James­ town Is of national interest and a source of national congratulation and pride. The wholesale effect of tbo crusade against railroad law breaking and In­ justice towards tbo public Is being made apparent everyday by the changed methods of tbe roads In deal­ ing with the public. John D. Rocke­ feller owed bis wonderful success large­ ly to the special privileges which tbe railroads accorded him and the huge and arrogant Standard Oil monopoly of today Is founded on these special privi­ leges. But now it Is reported, tbe railroads, influenced oo doubt by the pressure of public opinion aod by the public determloatloo that discrlmloatlona shall stop, have made a big concession to the independent oil men. They have taken away from the Standard an exclusive raU which enabled that company to mooopollxe thu Pacific cosat oil busi­ ness and placed It oo Ute same footing as the other companies. Ot course there was the rankest in­ justice and defiance ot law In discrimi­ nating al any time In favor of Mr. Rockefeller's company, but the roads have practiced ft just the same. Now, however, after congress has passed n measure to overcome the rate evils, and just befoie the Interstate commerce commission Is to bold a bearing on tbe matter tbo roads have anticipated what they evidently sea is oomlog. There does not seem much virtue In an act of ’ justice performed under such circum­ stances, but it certainly la encouraging to note that tho railroad managers have got tbeir ear to the ground and are at last heeding the overwhelming demand of tbo country for a “square deal" to every American citizen. rmunlty just the same as tbe taxpay®*'. Hence tbe injustice of discriminating against this large class of citizens when it comes to a question of issuing public bonds. E ,ss===s=====C e Forlorn Man (Original.] This atory to true.

Two boys of tbe eighth grade walked to Nashville Friday afternoon to M»e their big friends of the high school play ball. They had to crawl into tbe grounds by way of a pig .pen to avoid the admission fee. The ball team paid their fares home. Tho next day one of them played with a team at Middleville which won from the “Kids'' there by a score of 11 to 10. A delightful social event took place Monday evening when Mrs. M. W.

Ufa wife waited dinner au hour; B, id o’clock came, ami still be did uot come. Mrs. Tuttle supposed be bad Iw-eti un­ avoidably detained,* but why had be not telephoned na usual? At 11 o'clock she called up tbe police headquarters, requesting that they send to certain places where her husband might possi­ bly be found. These places were vis­ ited, but Mr. Tuttle was not at any of |bem. The next morning tbe city wan ran­ sacked for the mining man-tbat is, after tbe usual hour for his appear­ ance nt his office. That hour enme and the next, nnd there were no signs of Mr. Tuttle. The day passed with­ out tbe slightest trace of him. His wife soon fell Into a condition border­ ing on nervous prostration. Weekx, months, years )>axxe<l and Mr. Tuttle was not heard from. The police gave him up. couxklering bls entm one of tbe mnny In which the subject Is murdered nnd the body Hticcesefully got away with. Tills they nt Inst told Mrs. Tuttle, and ns soon as she became convinced of It bcreelf. accepting Hie Inevitable, she liecaniv resigned and regained her health. Iler husband's estate was administered, and widow and children were found to have In­ herited such an income ax they needed. Five years offer Mr. Tuttle's disap­ pearance n man of forlorn mien went up to tbe Tuttles' front door nnd rang the Iroll. Of the servant who answered the summons lie asked If Mr*. Tuttle lived there. He wax Informed that she owned the house, but had rented it and gone to Europa with her children. The man turned away. It was a Sunday morning, nnd he strolled aimlessly for a while till, pass­ ing a church, he entered it nnd took a back seat. “What's that handsome marble lie­ side the chancel ?' be asked In a whis­ per of one next him. •That's the Tuttle font” wns tbe re­ ply. “It was placed there In memory of Matthew Tuttle, who disappeared and never waa heard from." Tlie forlorn man made no reply ami when tbo congregation was dismissed went out with the othera and stood on the church steps ax If not knowing where to go. Presently he went down into tho street and boarded a trolley car. After half an hour’s ride be got out at a cemetery nnd. entering the gate, followed n walk till he came to a lot whereon was a handsome monu­ ment. He read the Inscription. ''In Memory af Matthew Tuttle." The man looked nt tbe other graves In the lot. taking in each separately, then went away. One morning in Geneva. Swltxcrland, where Mrs. Tuttle bad gone to put her children at school, she was walking over the bridge leading to an Island In the Rhone, now and then stopping to lean over the stone guard nnd look into tl>e crystal waters. After one of these pnuxcx she raised her head to proceed. Suddenly she clutched at the stono beside ber and wns sinking down when a man caught her in his arms. It was ber husband. Some time passed before tbe aston­ ished woman could speak, and then the Idea that filled ber brain was that she bad been deserted. "Where bsvo you been?" she asked, drawing away. "I remember." be said, placing bls band on bls forehead, “a long while ago boarding a train. Where I was going I don't know.

Earle, State Highway I £’• �CATCHING COLD. The First Need Of Modern Mankind. HAT which mankind needs first of all u to make it possible for it to live A’CCORDING TO ITS CONVICTIONS. The old forms must go. They must make way for now one* which will satisfy the REASON. The individual must be cured of his internal malady. He must become true and aincere again. Man even then will not have attained to tho complete happiness of tho Nirvana, the rest without effort, the con­ tent without desire, for lie is debarred from this absolute happiness by his ORGANIC LIFE. Organic life is fiynonymous with DEVELOPMENT. But this is tha impulse to attain n standard which the organism has not yet reached. C DEVELOPMENT IS THUS A STRIVING TOWARD THAT WHICH IS NOT YET ATTAINED, BUT DISSATISFACTION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH A SENSATION OF COMPLETE HAPPINESS. The single individual experiences this dissatisfaction the more keenly as he is a fragment of the great whole, the race, and ns in his own development he is working LESS FOR 1IIMSELF than for this whole. Tho results of his efforts toward perfection do not benefit HIM. but his descendants. Every generation toils for tho next, every frag­ mentary, individual organism for the race. The individual can there­ fore never attain to a sensation of completion, of perfection, of having realized his own ideal and of FEELING RECOMPENSED for his efforts. This sensation, if such a thing can be imagined at all, can only be experienced by the race, which is a whole, but never by the individual, .WHICH IS A FRAGMENT. Perhaps tho day will come after mankind has attained to an ideal stage of development when this sensation will be experienced by the race as a tone of thought and sentiment characterizing the whole race nnd finding a reflection IN EACH INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUS­ NESS as a more cheerful background and brighter tints throughout the entire inner world. But if absolute happiness is beyond the reach of humanity, if tho organic process of ita development renders it impossible, tho individual can at least obey his impulse of development and feel that he is mov­ ing TOWARD HIS GOAL, tho ideal. THE FEELING THAT WE ARE DRAWING NEAR TO THIS GOAL OF DEVELOPMENT IS A FORETASTE OF THE FEELING OF HAV­ ING ATTAINED TO IT, AND WE MAY FIND IN IT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE ABSOLUTE HAPPINESS BEYOND OUR REACH. /I h Workt, Not Worth, That Hat Madt Pt to catch n rota.

GEORGE E. ROtUTl. HE tightness of money is caused by tho tremendous demand for all kinds of MANUFACTURED articles. Th* busi­ ness of manufacturers is profitable, but it doe* not furnish the money with which to supply the additional funds tha* are needed to EXTEND it When this condition exists in every line of business all over the country, as at present, th* de­ mand for money is BEYOND THE SUPPLY. That this is the case is demonstrated by tho fact that more tonnage is offered to tho railroads than they are able to carry, and so the railroads are forced to appeal to tho money market for funds to buy more locomotive* and cars and equipment of every kind and to enlarge their terminal fa­ cilities. »■ The result has been that within the last ninety days we have aeeu a now stock and bond issue aggregating NEARLY A BILLION OF DOLLARS. It has fcreed up the rate of interest until it begins to be questionable in tho minds of tho people whether it will pay to make investments in railroad stocks; whether, with interest rates as high aa they aro and labor as scarce, wages soaring and all materials that enter into construction expensive, they had not better wait IT IS A NATURAL CHECK UPON DEVELOPMENT. I do not see any reason to suppose that development will not go on as soon as these improvements can be made at somewhat reduced cost But our prosperity has carried us ALMOST TO A STATE OF DEADLOCK so far as getting labor or materials or money is con­ cerned—a state of congestion of all supplies. I don’t think that radical railroad legislation is the most impor­ tant factor in this condition, although it is not improbable that it has some influence. I believe it is largely due to tho increased coat of con­ ducting transportation, the general advance in wages having made big Inroads on tho revenues of tho lines. Then the general movement by state legislatures to reduce freight and passenger charges seems to bo NARROWING THE MARGINS OF PROFIT from both side*. These facta may have some influence on investors in railroad securi­ ties. But I think the most important element in the situation has been tho ENORMOUS DEMAND for labor and money. C IT HAS PRACTICALLY FORCED BUSINESS MEN AND RAILROAD MEN TO CONSIDER POSTPONING SOME OF THEIR PROJECTS FOR THE PRESENT. Men Who Abuse Wall Street. M By HENRY CLEWS. N«w York Banker. ANY people abuse Wall street, but as a general rule tho majority of them are UNSUCCESSFUL SPECULA­ . TORS who have made a mistake in the selection of their profession. There is always an open door in the stock market ANY ONE CAN COME IN. IT 18 NOT AN EXCLUSIVE CIRCLE, AND THERE ARE ALWAYS THE PALMS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL MAN. Mr. Carnegio should not despise Wall street, for Wall street money built our railroads, which wore instrumental in developing far and wide tho resources of the nation, without which it would have been IMPOSSIBLE for Mr. Carnegio to have built up bis great iron and steel plant, which afterward was unloaded through Wall street machinery, making him the second richest man in tho universe. Mr. Carnegie Ims told us that he has never speculated, so of course thia does not apply to him, but among a certain section of people it has been considered tho correct thing to decry tho stock market, and tho unsuccessful speculator, with THE MAN WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT, accuses the more fortunate men of sharp practice. % Our Government Is Founded on the Open Shop Doctrine, "IK T.VITONS have brain storms a* well as individuals, but the I American nation has always shown a SUBSTANTIAL I 1 ELEMENT OF SANITY at the bottom which has ena- • bled it to come safely through even- crisis. The whole labor question revolves around the simple proposition whether tho unions shall obey the law or whether they shall, by com­ mon consent or by act of government, be given a special license TO OVERRIDE THE LAW. If the laws are wrong, then they should be changed—changed in an orderly AND CONSTITUTIONAL way, and not annulled or disregarded according to tho caprice of PORTIONS of the people. This being granted, the natural in­ quiry is, What law is it that unionism commonly seeks to violate or abrogate I Tho answer to this query is that it is the law of INDIVIDUAL LIB­ ERTY. To think that in this country there aro 2,000,000 organized men who seek the overthrow of the law of individual liberty, THE BASIC LAW OF THE REPUBLIC, is enough to shake one’a con­ fidence in tho average good judgment of men. Hnt there is one saving grace about tho situation, and that is that the great majority of the men belonging to tho uniona do not under­ stand that unionism seeks its ends THROUGH THE DESTRUC­ own. and ten years of systematic TION OF LIBERTY. They would be the last to do anything con­ breeding will nearly double the value sciously that would injure the liberties of the people, and they would of tha American cow. be the first to offer their livea IN DEFENSE of those liberties.

CHICHESTER CHEMICAL CO. �STINtfS HERXLD As usual the state of Ohio la furnisblag material for political comment and Interest. Tbo game of politics Is par­ es a lai In tbe Buckeye state and If Ibero were not “something doing" in tbe po­ litical Hoe all tbe time, there would be good reason for fearing that an earth­ quake or some other dreadful thing had overtaken that uneasy commonwealth. Just now It la tbe clashing of the am­ bition* of two of Ohio's favorite sous that la attracting tbe attention of tbo country. Secretary Taft, backed by the administration, Is trying to Hoe up lhe republican force* of the state In the interest of hl* presidential boom, and In so doing be ba* struck a bard blow at tbe plan* of,aoolher distin­ guished Ohioan, Senator Joseph For­ aker. Tbo senator, too, wants to be president and be I* resenting tbe inter- of such an uaprogrosalv* people aa tbe Spaniards. Not oaly Is such aa sveat Interesting to lb* people because of tbe exalted station of the parents, but it la momentous In Ila political algnlficance. It mean* that a new ruler baa been provided for tbe people, who if he lives to manhood, will ascend tbe throne and wield lhe scepter over tbam. Tbe one thing which would be Intol­ erable to a free people la the fact that the Spaniards have bad and can have oo vofoe In the matter whatever. Tbeir future ruler will be such by the acci­ dent of birth. He will rule by “divine right" not by tbe authority of the peo­ ple. He may grow up to be a strong, wise, beneficent monarch, or be may be weak, Incompetent aud Immoral. that the birth of a royal prince should Intensely internet the Spanish people. But, except lo tbe royal family, it la not easy to see why tbo nation abould go into rapture* of joy over the event. the birth of this royal Infant baa been a blessing or a curse. Such extrava­ gant rejoicing aa tbe whole Spanlab people" are reported to have Indulged In seem* unwarranted and premature. Especially when tbe Undency of mod­ ern nations, even tbe moat conserva­ tive, towards popular sovereignty la tho other tho old time politician* of taken into consideration. Il la possi­ the machine type, with Boca Cox of ble that when this new prince of tbe Cincinnati, Senator Dick, Governor, A atu rias reache* bia majority, be will. Harris and other* of their ilk fighting for the Interests of tbeir leader, lhe recarrying out ot bl* plana. So on tbe one aide, tbo Rooeevelu Taft-Burton force* are arrayed and oo tbe other, tbe Foraker-Dick-Cox-Harris school who know that In furthering tbe boom of William H. Taft they are pleas­ ing lhe president, and on tbe other tbe conservative* who would be glad, if they dared say so, to see a return of tbe good old days when there waa no big stick In tbe While House. What tbe result of thia clashing of tbe republican faction* In Ohio will be can bo easily guessed. Theodore Roosevelt is not tho man to brook oppo­ sition to bl* carefully matured plans for hl* successor. He may be relied on to stand by bia secretary. He will use tbe big nick to bring the recalcitrant politician* of Ohio Into tbe Taft camp and It la pretty safe to predict that ho will succeed, ft will not be surprising to learn that harmony ba* been secured In Ohio. But It will bo a harmony of necessity on tbe part of Senator For­ aker. For unices be la willing to climb Into the Taft band wagon, bia chance* for re-election to tbe United Stale* senate will be very slim. Il may be ex­ pected therefore, that tbe news from Ohio will be peaceful and that Taft will Report* from Washington point to a conspiracy on tbe part of republican* to keep Oklahoma out ot tbe union. An effort will be made to induce the president to refuse to issue tbe procla­ mation admitting tbe new stale. These politicians claim that tbe constitution adopted by tbe now state la an imposi­ tion on a free people, that the creation of new counties ba* been simply a case of gerrymandering, and so forth. It Is argued therefore by these indignant and patriotic politicians that Oklahoma abould be refused admission to tbe fed­ eral union until tbe defecu which they point but are remedied. There may be some soundness In the criticism* of these republicans, al­ though If Oklahoma bad happened to bare a republican population instead of a democratic, and if New Mexico and Arisona, with a predominance of re­ publican votes, had accepted tbe joint statehood proposition aa they had ex­ pected, It Is not at all likely that they would have started the present move­ ment to keep the new slate ou» io tbe cold. Bat admitting that tbe ne'wstale has adopted an Imperfect cooatltutioo, It does not follow that President Roose­ velt la called oo to pass judgment on the Instrument adopted aa the deliber­ ate expression of two million Ameri­ cana who live within the limit* of the naw stale. It la probable that no ter­ ritory baa ever been admitted to tbe union whose constitution did not bare defects folly aa objectionable as any contained In Oklahoma's oonstltutloo. And It should be remembered that any such defects can be remedied after the state faadmllied. For if soy provision* of tbe constitution of a state are con­ trary to tbe national constitution they will of necessity be void.

Be clean and sanitary In milking. Have all palls, crocks, cans and dairy utensils scakled ata! clean. Keep the separator clean by washing after each separating. Cool each lot of cream In cold water before setting It away, and have II thoroughly cooled before adding to the general lot of cream.

The English stage is SWAMPED.IN TOMFOOLERY, and the Eng­ lish nation has madn np its mind not to take the drama seriously. I have always maintained, and publicly maintained, oven in Eng­ land, that there will be a NATIONAL THEATER in America be­ fore there is ono in England, this because there is a heartier interest in the drama in America than there is in England. There is a larger vitality among American playgoers; they aro less hidebound and are OPEN TO NEW CONVICTIONS, for to tbo American there exists an attraction in the theater more vivid and varied than there is to tho Englishman. This will concentrate around such an institution as a national theater, in the accepted sense of the word, and bring eueh an institution into existence long before such an event can take place in England. H Twelve years ago I had hopes of the drama in England. Wo seemed to be advancing toward a SERIOUS DRAMA of English life and began to gather around us a public that camo to a theater pre­ pared to judge a modem play by a higher standard than tho number of jokes, tricks, antics and songs contained, but today the higher and more legitimate purposes of playwriting aro swallowed up and lost sight of in the demand for MERE THOUGHTLESS ENTER­ TAINMENT, the one purpose of which is not to show people their lives, but to provide them with a moans of ESCAPE FROM THEIR LIVES. I believe, of course, that the drama should amuse, but why should it not amuse with material DRAWN FROM LIFE i To my mind tho one remedy consists in the publication of plays. That would ena­ ble people to judge in the cold, sober light of the day after of the value of that which they have laughed and cried over. Tho dramatist Is not necessarily a teacher. I do not pose as one. It is with plays as it is with laws—they should never be AHEAD of their generation. They should be pictures RATHER THAN COMMANDMENTS. Tho dramatist should find in them a healthy, refreshing exercise. PLAYWRIGHT® SHOULD HAVE THAT BROAD GENERAL SANITY IN DEALING WITH HUMAN THINGS THAT DISTINGUISHES SHAKE­ SPEARE AND MOLIERE. We Approach the Seedtime.' T" IVING expenses aro never cheap except in periods of industrial IJ STAGNATION. There is a reasonable limit, however, to all good things, and that limit has been a little more than reached. A slight CURTAILMENT everywhere will do us good. Our only danger is from UNWARRANTED alarm. Wo have been running at a breakneck pace until everybody ia well nigh out of breath. If wo can now slacken and nobody lie down in tho road it would bo well with us. There is a great difference between n PANIC and commercial aud industrial STAGNATION. It is an error to speak of the panio of 1803 to 1807. The panic was in 1893. Tho conflagration which followed the panic wns of long duration, while commerce meantime sat on tho sidewalk and the fire department disbanded. THAT EX­ PERIENCE IS NOT NOW TO BE REPEATED. Conditions are entirely different Every dollar of our currency is now admittedly worth 26.8 grains of gold nnd passes everywhere unchallenged. Revo­ lutionary financial legislation is advocated by no one, and reactionary revenue reform is not threatened. Our prosperity rests on a surer foundation than STOCK MARKET QUOTATIONS.

The programme to be urged by the United States has not yet been decided upon. I hare no doubt that the movement will bo helped by the coming noting of tho national arbitration and pence congress in New York city, which will be addrcued by the leading peace advocates of thia country and Europe.’ PERMANENT international peace will not come in a day.

For a long while It waa uncertain wbo would cast I found with sufficient reputation for skill In bell casting. so great were the expectations of tbe people that hr en­ tered upon the work with fear and trembling. The ironmaster was ready for the last act In a work that bid for yearn taken up hla attention. A long time he bad been engaged on hla calculations; carefully he had prepared hla mold; In­ tently he bad dwelt on tho combina­ tion of metals, especially as to the quantity of allver on which he retied to aoften the harsher sounds produced by the others, giving sweetness and tisrmony. Tbe component parts were all In the huge crucible, under which the fires had been burning sufficiently hng to dissolve them Into one molten mass. The long continued effort was ready for consummation. But the result—would tbe bell be a wonder of melody or give out n harsh dang? It might be anything between these extremes. If thought, calcula­ tion. care, could make It perfect. It would tie perfect. But In the calcula­ tions might there not be some error? And tbe casting- If the mold should be defective. If the melted metal should not be at tbe proper tempera turo, all this long ixintlnned effort would bo loot. Satisfying himself that the metallic fluid was nliout ready to run off Into tbe mold. Hie Ironmaster, feeling that be would Ihs better able to bear tbe last concentrated effort by preparing himself for It physically, resolved to go to his house for a meal and a glass of wine. During tbe whole of his long labors a young apprentice had assisted him. Placing Implicit confidence tn tbe yonng man's discretion, the master left the crucible, the tire under It. the mold ready to receive the casting. In When be bad gone tbe apprentice •food looking up at tbe huge crucible of tbe Church of BL Mary's. Ho had watched every effort of bin master. as­ sisting at many of them, and with tbe entbualaam of youth believed It would be one of tbe famoua belle of tbe world. At tbe base of tbe crucible waa tbe stopcock which held tbe metal In Ita place aud when opened would let It run into the mold. That waa all cock, and gravity would make tbe bell. Just as tbe apprentice's eye rested on tbe stopcock a thought lit, like a bird on a branch, on hla brain. Why not himself open tbe stopcock? He would suffer the wrath of bla master, but his name would go down through the centuries aa the caster of tbe world renowned bell. Whenever It sent Ita musical vibrations far and wide those wbo heard It would think of tbe story of the apprentice who per­ formed tbe consummating art in Its construction. Tbe Impulse was irresistible. Going to the stopcock, ba pulled It open, and moment a diabolic "Ha. ba!" rang tn tbe youth's ears. Balan, unable to prevent tbe bell from exciting through Ita musical tones tbe piety and rever­ ence of countless human beings, had chosen to bring about a tragedy which abould forever be connected with Its history. While tbe metal was running into the mold tbe Ironmaster, having finished bla meal, returned. When he •aw what bad been done, turning white aa tbe snow, be demanded to know wbo had opened tbe cock.

THE KIND THAT SUITS The school meeting laat Friday night voted to hire a third teacher for dur schools next year. A good deal of opposition to the third teacher has de­ veloped but we believe thia la due mostly to ignorance of the condition* existing in our schools rather than to a deaircjto have (>oor aoltoola. Not the kind that gives you fits or gives you the appearance of staring a stout man’s size when you require a suit ot moderate propor­ tions. Clothcraft Clothes do not do these things. Clothcraft Clothes give you an appearance of style because they fit perfectly- a 34 inch waist measures 34 Inches, flrat and last; the arm sizes do not cut or pinch because the tailors know how to cut, shape and sew to prevent these faults, and there are no wrinkles In the coats—where they don’t belong. It is details like these that show the superiority of CLOTHCRAFT. Its makers perfect the many points that most tailors overlook—they know how to make clothes fit tho man—the thin man and.stout man-and do not depend upon the man to fit the clothes. Then add to this care the selection of always all wool material, the careful shrinking, the up-to-theminute designing and you have Clothcraft—the clothing which exhibits real clothing knowledge, and which should lead you to be a Clothcraft believer. And CLOTHCRAFT wearers are not only well dressed, but they are not required to waste money. Thorough system and care have enabled EIGHTH GRADERS WHO WON FIFTY-EIGHT PER CENT. PASSED THE EXAMINATION.
