THE STATE OF SUPERIOR.

From the Troy Times.
1t is intimated in Washington that the
plan to form a new commonwealth out
of the northern peninsula of Michigan
and the northern portion of Wisconsin
will be revived at the coming session of
congress and a strong effort will be made
to thus add to the Union the forty-siXth
state. IN general, it may be said that
the sentiment of the public is against
the creation of new states, but thl5
sentiment applies largely to the propos-
ais for admitting western territories TO
statehood. A burnt child breads the
fire, and the experience of the nation in
the recent past in relation to the creation
of new states has not been of a kind that
would make herpropositions of the same
nature altogether popular. That expert
ence has resulted in giving undue power
and influence to the representatives in the
United Stetes senate of states the popula-
tion of which is far below that of east
ern cities And it is because of that eX-
perience that the clamor now being made
by Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona
for admission to the ssterhood of states
is far from likely to produce results.
%
But with this proposed new state in the
central Northwest, to which the name
| Superior has already been given by the
promoters, the case Is decidedly differ
I
| the necessary area, hut II would also have
| a considerable population to start with
| 1t would begin life as a state with nearly
| 100000 inhabitants within its borders
| Its inducements to settlers would be more
| tangible if not quite so glowing as in the
| states further west, for the reason that
| its resources in copper iron and build
! ing stone are practically limitless, while
| the lumber and agricultural industries
are also of importance. With a greater
coast line than any other state in the
| Union there are immense possibilities for
| the development of commerce.
o
The people Of the Northern Michigan
| peninsula are anxious for statehood in
order that they may be Independent OF
the control i'm public affairs now welded
| by the larger and Weather southern
peninsula. The interests of the two sec
tions are not identical; indeed, in many
ways they are conflicting, and there have
been even more disputes between these
two sections than between the eastern and
western shol es OF Maryland. 1t is urged
that the only way to settle these dis
putes once for all is to divide the terri
| tory, nor is this solution of the problem
very strongly opposed in the southern
peninsula. Whether it will be WISE for
the nation TO settle the matter I'm this
manner is question for congress to de-
eide. The arguments against the western
| territories admission cannot be applied
to the proposition for the creation OF the
state Of Superior, but there may be other
arguments of equal weight and force,

Responsibility for
Van NyCk'S ELECTION

New York Commercial Advertiser.
History of the campaign unites with
analysis of the vote to put responsible
ity for turning the city over to Tam
many Hall solely upon the Citizens
Union, which from the first has resist
ed and defeated all efforts to combine
the opposition. 1t is due to Mr.. Low to
say that he discouraged and resisted
this stubborn folly at the beginning
though he surrendered weakly later to
those who cared less for defeat of Tam
many than to destroy all existing poll
tical organizations and set up their own
machine in their place. At the outset
Mr. Low was the candidate of a mere
Cabal, and no one recognized the weak
ness of his position more clearly than he.
Asked in June by small and irrespon-
sible body If he would accept the NOM
inaton for mayor, he answered that he
would if convinced of his popularity and
that his name would prove a unifying
force among friends of good government.
His popularity was proved by over 1O0,-
900 signatures to vague pledge, obtained
by paid canvassers, but the Citizens
Union did not wish to make his name a
unifying force. Its object was disrup-
tion.
Meanwhile the Republicans had made
all possible preparations for and advances
toward union. An obstructive executive
of the organization was deposed and all
demonstration of hostility to Low or the
Citizens Union on part Of subordinates
repressed. Repeated efforts were made
for free conference with all other anti
Tammany forces. These were steadily
repulsed by the Citizens Union, which
developed more and more its settled pur-
pose of indiscriminate war upon the Re-
publicans and Tammany. Finally, in
September it forced its own nomination
upon Low, in ostentatious disregard of
Republican advances and in advance of
the Republican convention, and he ac-
cepted, pleading that conditions had
changed, though the only change was in
his point of view. Thus Mr.. Low him
self adopted the programme of disrup-
tion and put an end to all hope of union
of anti-Tammany forces on him.
Even then Republican efforts for union
did not end or Citizens Union resist
ance to it cease. a candidate was sought
to whom no citizen could take exception
who did not put hatred of party above
desire for good government. He accept
ed the nomination with a double pledge
to govern in the sole interest of the peo-
pie If elected and to retire as a cand-
date whenever his retirement would adj
vance the end of good government. For
pure high-minded unselfishness, General
Tracy's attitude is worthy of the man
who retired to make Low mayor of
Brooklyn sixteen years ago. 1t left the
door of union open, but the Citizens
Union closed it resolutely as it had done
before, refusing all overtures and terms
and granting only permission to vote for
its candidate.
1t must be said for the Citizens Union
that, before the election. it discovered
no timid hesitation about accepting re-
sponsibility for any result to which its
action might lead. 1t cannot hope now
to escape responsibility for all that is
coming to New York city in the next
four years through the establishment Of

A busy Bee.


If there Is anything more dangerous
vi industrious than a woman let loost
in the spring with pot Of green paint
it is the small boy who owns any ap-
paratus for making his mark. Not
long ago some misguided parents fur
nished an enterprsing urchin with q
stencil stamp and ink pad which would
print the family name. No special
warnings on the subject were consid-
cred necessary, but one fatal day the
mother of the lad made startling dis
covery in her handkerchief box. Every
handkerchief she owned had huge
purple signboard stamped conspicu-
-ously on one of it's corners, the work,
of course, of the small boy and tho
stencil. She had not the heart to be-
stow too severe reprimand on the in
FAINT artist, SO now at intervals, when
she fourishes dainty embroidered
mouchoir with great inky stain ON
its border, she has to submit to this
harassing exclamation:
wasn't that nice in me, mamma, to
print your name SO big ON all your
handkerchiefs? Louisville Courier
