The Philadelphia Item thoughttuliy
remarks: lowing to the large influx
Of foreign labor in the coal fields.
within recent years, the operators are
masters OF the situation. While keep
ing mp prices, they have been con-
%stantly grinding down wages. In
many sections the wage scale has fall
len to figures almost on a par with
those of the old world. But the
the strike means higher wages, many
of them eagerly welcome it. The ex
actions of capital aud the gradual
wedding out Of American labor by
aliens. in many industries, are matters
which call for national investigation
and correction"
The SENTINEL fully concurs in tie
conclusion of the Item, and believes
the ooner the investigation and cor
rection take place, the better. Right
here at home we are menaced by an
undesirable class of foreigners who
not only stand in the way of American
laborers but moreover injure every
business man in the community by
sending off their wages abroad instead
of spending them at home. We hear
a great deal of bosh about protecting
American labor against foreign pau
per labor by keeping out of the coun-
try the manufactured products of such
foreign pauper labor; it is about time
to protect American labor from the
ruiaeus competition of foreign labor
right here at home by keeping gu,
foreign paupers. That would be the
right sort of protection, for it would
be protection to American labor
which would protect, whereas, the
other kind Of protectio on don't protect
always.

AN UNJUST ATTACK.

An esteemed Republican contempo-
rary, the H%opklnsville, tKy,D Banner.
contains the following unjust attack
upon our distinguished Junior Sena-
tor:
"The tariff bill has been passed in
the Senate by a vote of SO to IS. One
Democrat, Senator McEnery s. of Louis
lana, voted with the Republicans. If
we believed he was sincere in his pro-
LESSONS of friendship for the protec-
tive policy we would applaud his
action. But this is only one of the
Senator's tricks to restore the sugar
planters of louisa ma 10 the Demo-
cratic ranks. Alter taking the stump
to defeat the Republican State ticket
and to help put into the Legislature
men pledged to low tariff principles,
he then manages To get himself elect
ed to the United States Senate in
opposition "a "A protectiOnist and %
We find him advocating the doctrine
of the Republicans. We believe
Louisiana is entitled to at least one
vote for protection but we hate 10 see
it cast by a h~ypocrite."
"Only one of tile Senator'S tricks to
restore the sugar planters of Louisiana
to the Democratic Ianks,n forsooth I
Why, that is a good one, indeed. The
editor of the Banner has lived some
years in the sugar district of Louisi-
ana, but evidently rot long enough to
become well acquainted with it's po-
litical history. Were he familiar with
that history, he would know that fully
nine-tenths, it not more, of the sugar
planters nf Louisiana who have en-
rolled themselves under tho Republic
can banner have been the bitterest
opponents Of Senator McEnery while
they tarri-d in the Democratic ranks,
vbercass about the same proportion of
planters who Ina ve stuck to Democra-
cy, were his warn friends and sup
p0rters. Such being the case, what
would have sam ID. McEnery to gain
by res0rtirg tn tricks to restore the
straying sheep ~ The Democratic
fold Restore item, I'd fight him in
the future in the DrmncratIc ranks. az

But ny ocrito be II not ; he 10 a

tions, and no man who knows Samuel
d. McEn-sS, whether IL. agrees with
him or not ea the stand which be took
in the tariff Legislation, will withhold
from him fall credit for having acted
honestly and siacer~tely, according to
what be d+4.n"d ", " his constitu-
ents.
Our esteemed contemporary can,
therefore, cheertully accept the Zone

The Unfortunate Muses..

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Examiner relates this incident Of a din
ner in Philadelphia at which Archbish-
op Ryan (Roman Catholic) and DR..
Watson were present: 1T would be a
great mistake to suppose that the arch
bishop dwells i'll an atmosphere of ghosts
or is saturated with gloom. 1t was quite
delightful to see him and DIR. Watson
fraternize and exchange felicities. The
archbishop said the inquiry had been
made why all the nine muses. are repre-
sented as unmarried. 1t was suggested
in reply that it was thought more in ac-
cordance with delicacy and sentiment
that they should be pure, unmarried
virgins. But the archbishop's response
was: No, that is not the reason. 1t is
because all those who WOO the muses.
are so poor that they are never able to
propose marriage to them.

Do THE RIGHT THING.

There will be a constitutional amend
ment submitted to the people for their
consideration at the April election,
which among other provisions, raises
the salary OF the Attorney General
from its present Insignificant sum Of
$500 TO the more proper amount of
So, 500, and requires him to become a
resident at the capitol and devote his
personal attention to the office.
In speaking of the matter the Sault
Ste. Marie News remarks: IA private
citizen would not expect to retain the
neanest crossroads pettifogger on that
scale. We hope that when the people
get chance. at the measure they will
vote in defense of equity, honor and
dignity"
The News also quoted from a promi-
nent attorney as follows: "Why,
Michigan has lost easily million dol
lars by its petty policy of expecting to
get something from its attorney gener-
al for nothing. They haven't been all
like Fred Maynard. He is one of the
very few who mas given conscientious
attention TO the duties of the Office. /
once saw him earnestly and ably trying
an important case for the state with
corporation legal talent against him
amounting to $37, 200 year. Yet
Fred won the suit at two dollars a day.
The outrage never seemed SO conspic-
uous as upon that occasion. If the
people get another chance and then
don't vote to increase the attorney
generals salary, l will lose my faith
in Michigan, which l want to feel and
believe is as grand and dignifed and
honest as any state in the union. Ten
thousand dollars year would be a
small salary for such an attorney gen.
eral as Michigan has at the present
time

The Scientific American gives the
following simple recipe for thawing
out frozen water pipes: ''Place un-
Stacked lime around the pipes, cover
with straw, and then pour on water.
The heat generated by the Stacking OF
the lime will thaw out the pipes If the
operation is properly carried out.
Pipes may also be protected from
freezing by first wrapping with straw,
then putting on layer of unslacked
lime, and finally again covering with
straw. The gradual Stacking of the
lime by the moisture of the atmos-
phere evolves sufficient heat to prevent
water pipes from freezing for a whole
season."

1t is strange that the parents of the
half-grown boys OF the town cannot see
that these same boys are being de-
frauded out OF what is really their
right, by being allowed to give up
school. Some day the men OF the next
generation will discover the truth Of
this, but it will be too late then. One
father declares that his boy has already
more education than he got when a
boy, and that there is no use in his
wasting any more time at school.
This boy might make both wiser and
better man than his father and the
world be none the worse for it.

COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONER.
Elmer II. Hale should be honored Again
with the Position-Has Made Good
Record and ~ Capable.

Record ana 10 Capable.
In the coming election the Office Of
Commissioner OF Schools is beyond
question the most important Office to
be voted for by the people OF Ionia
county. Elmer b. Hale has served
the county as such officer for two
years, and it is but fitting to acknow-
ledge results OF his administration in
view of the fact that he is a candidate
for reelection. Under his direction
many libraries have been placed In the
district schools, the standard OF grades
have been perceptibly improved, the
teachers associations have been more
frequent and have registered fuller
attendance than ever before. Mr..
Hale has been a man OF recognized
ability and sturdy integrity. In his
college course at the Agricultural col
lege, of which he Is graduate he es-
tablished his reputation as a keen and
industrious student, and by teaching
winters betrayed the major part OF his
expenses. At the college he received
the highest honors which the college
and students could bestow; and in his
senior year was elected president of his
class. After graduation Mr.. Hale en-
gagged in the profession OF teaching,
and has been closely identified with
school work ever since. AS student,
teacher and commissioner, Mr.. Hale's
record stands out as a plain and COM
plimentary recommendation for the
SURFACES Of the people at the coming
election.
