1t is now the duty of the newspapers
of the state 20 impress upon the voters
the necessity for the adoption of the
amendment to the constitution providing
for an increase in the number of su-
preme court judges, which will be sub
mitted at the next election. Amend
ments looking to the same end have been
rejected by the voters in the past, for the
reason that they did not correct
ly understand the importance to
themselves OF the proposed in
crease. Every voter is liable to be

1t is probably safe to say that there
is not a voter who is. or has lately

the court as at present constituted can

"A. cable dispatch announces that Mrs.
hansen, wife of the explorer. has received
at her home in Christiana, Norway. a
message by carrier pigeon from her hus-
band, to the effect that his expedition was
doing well. That was all of the informa-
ton in the message. Explorer Nansen is
on the vessel Fran, which is supposed
to be somewhere in the unknown Black
sea of the north. No word from him had
previously been received since August,
1898 During that month the vessel was
last seen in the Yugorski straight, heading
northward 1t is almost incredible that
so small a bundle of vitality as a carrier
pigeon should have flown thousands of
miles, from the frozen polar regions. and
arrived safely at the Nansen home in
Norway. A more reasonable explanation,
offered by the Philadelphia Ledger is that
the Fran is near home, and that the bird
really flew no more than seven or eight
hundred miles. The Ledger recalls that in
July last a vessel resembling the Fran
was seen beset in the ice off the coast
of Greenland. 1t says the possibilities are
that the vessel seen was really the FRAN,
that she has regained her liberty and is
on her way home. If that is correct, then
the receipt of the message by pigeon
means that the Fran will arrive in
few days. If the vessel is not reported
shortly. then, according to the Ledger,
lit will not need official denial to stamp
the reported message as a Fabrication"

New Drain Law.

At the last session of the legislature bill
was introduced. passed and approved which
made some important changes in the drain
laws of the state. For the benefit of the
township drain commissioners THE TIMES
gives below digest of the changes made
by the new law.
The first section changed is sec. 1, chap.
4 Of act No. 227. Of 's5, amended by act 1888
OF 'S9. The principal change relates to the
review of the assessment. The new section
provides that personal notice, which shall
be served and In form be the same as pro-
vided in sec. z, chap. 3 of the old law, shall
be served upon every resident whose prop
erty is affected by the drain, at least fifteen
days prior to the time of letting and by
publishing notice of the letting two inser-
tons in some newspaper published and of
general circulation in the county.
The second important change comes in
sec. 1 of chap. 5. The old law said that
when the county drain commissioner fixed
the amount to be assessed at large upon any
township for health and public good, there
could be no appeal The new law provides
that the township may appeal to the probate
court by the proper officers and that such
appeal must be made within fifteen days
after the day of review. When such appeal
is taken, three disinterested persons will be
appointed by the court to determine the
justice of the assessment. If the assessment
stands, the township shall be liable for the
costs. The special commissioners are re-
quired to perform their work within fifteen
days of their appointment.

cation excellent. All children, as the law
provides between the ages Of and 16 are
obliged to attend school and receive an edu-
cation practically the same as Is taught In
public schools. The law says that attend
ance at schools shall be consecutive. Now
this In itself is first class thing. 1t means
that except for very good reason the child
shall attend school every day. In case Of
sickness, or alleged sickness, the school
board Is empowered to send a physician to
investigate and If he says the case warrants
It, absence Is granted.
II don't suppose the fact that a county
commissioner must now have at least twelve
months teaching experience is of much in
terest to the. general public; but this was
done to prevent some college graduate who
has never had any experience In school gov
eminent, stepping into a position like that
of commissioner. There are many other
innovations, such as the section which COM
pels voter in a school election to have as
sessed property; also that teacher with q
duly signed certificate from other states can
teach school in Michigan without taking ex-
aminations. Then the law provides that If
man live say an eighth of mile from a
school house in another district and mile
or more from the one in his own district, he
can send his children 10 the other school,
something impossible under the old law, by
paying tuition of Is per cent more than
the average expense per capita.
"Yes, think the school legislation as
passed by our present legislature is excel
lent and l know it puts the schools under a
better system than ever before"

Organize Republican Clubs.

From the Cadillac News and Express.
An effort is being made by an organiza-
ton calling itself the "Honest Dollar Club
to organize free silver clubs throughout the
state. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that re-
publicans will not become members of such
clubs. so far as political action Is concerned
1t is the privilege and duty of all republi-
cans to urge and influence their party for or
against any policy or issue, as the good or
Ill of the country may seem to them to de-
mand. I
1t is not necessary or to be desired that all
republicans shall fully agree upon all ma
ti0nal problems. There is growth in inves-
tigation and life in discussion, and there is
room and freedom within the republican
party for investigation and the candid dis
cussion of all important public questions.
1t may not be possible to secure the adop-
ton by the party of all the purposes which
individuals may possess or through it to ad-
vance all the varying interests which locali-
ties may deem important, but the history of
our country since the organization of the
republican party vividly reveals the fact
that the greatest good to the greatest number
can best be secured by and through it.
The membership of the republican party
Is so formed as to quickly and intelligently
respond to the important issues involved in
every great question. The well doing and
we'll being of the homes and shops and
schools and stores and industries Of our
country have been the themes and principles
upon which 1t was established and upon
which it has been maintained. Its relation
to all that pertains to the welfare of such
interests is even closer and greater to-day
than ever before.
Let all republicans who desire to discuss
present and possible political issues with
their fellow republicans assist in the forma-
ton of republican clubs as the best mediums
through which such discussions can be
effective. The argument In the club may
be influential in the caucus and thus find
expression in state and national platforms.
Our country is governed by parties, it is
therefore the duty of every republican to
see to 1t that the government by his party is
patriotic and wise.
Urge and assist in the organization Of re-
publican clubs.

II think great deal of it," said Superin-
tendent of Schools III. r. Pattengill to The
Telegraph in reply to question regarding
his opinion Of the new law affecting
public schools that was passed at the last
term of the legislature.
''The old law" he continued, "lacked the
vital essentials which the new law especially
provides for. Now take for instance the
change made regarding the treatment OF
truants. Under the old law fine could be
imposed on parents who failed to send their
children to school. Under the new law,
this failure can be punished with imprson-
ment. 1t doesn't take more than one dose
of the later In community to impress upon
the parents the necessity of complying with
the law.
"This law also obliges the school boards
to appoint truant officer whose duty it is
to report and investigate cases of truancy.
The school board does not wait for the par
ents to make complaint now. The truant
officer does that before a justice of the peace
and under the law the justice is compelled
to hear 1t. This practically makes truancy
a misdemeanor as it is In many of the
European countries.
1.-The new law also deals with incorrigi-
bic and unruly children. 1t provides that a
graded school be instituted for them. 1t
prevents contagion, SO to speak, of these
undesirable qualities in pupil. Truants
can be forced to attend this school, also
street walkers, loafers and all disorderly
Juveniles. In case it is necessary to bring
the child before a justice, the fine imposed
can not be less than IS nor more than $50, or
not less than two days in jail nor more than
