The Question of Locality.


On Monday next a circuit Judge is to
be elected.
In all the history of Van Buren, county,
there has never been but one circuit
judge elected who claimed this county
as his home While it is true that we
have usually had excellent men on the
bench, the fact remains that as locality
Van Buren, county has been neglected so
far as judicial positions are concerned
In the present election, it seems to us
that there should be a county pride In
this matter and that Judge Heckert
should go out of the county with a large
majority, given not only by voters of his
own party but by residents of the county
generally.
OF course it would not be right to ask
for the election of Judge Heckert merely
because he is resident of Van Buren,
county; but on the other hand, the voters
ot this county cannot fail to feel that we
are entitled to the judgeship here, and
in the present case there is not a single
particular in which the Van Buren,
county candidate is not the full equal of
his competitor.
Judge Heckert has resided in this
county for many years. He is we'll known
to almost every voter in the county. He
is a lawyer who has enjoyed large and
successful practice. He is man who
has always borne an unsullied reputa-
ton in all his business transactions. He
has been a successful judicial officer.
There is not the slightest reason todoubt
that he would make as good circuit
Judge as has ever presided over our cir
cult court. We believe that Judge
Heckert should and will be elected to
the position to which he aspires. Els
peciaNy in this county there should be
full>tote out, and voters regardless of
party should rally to his support.

AGRICULTURE IN ALASKA.
An Experiment station In tn he Es-
tabIished mt Sitka-GoOd He
suits Expected.

Prof. C. C. 0eorgeson, of the depart
ment of agriculture, has left for Alaska
to establish at Sitka an agricultural
experiment station and look after the
agricultural possibilities OF that re-
gion. Prof. Georgeson is native OF
Denmark and thoroughly familiar
with the conditions of agriculture in
northern Europe and has had long
experience as professor and expert
ment worker in Japan and Kansas
The Inquiries will be conducted on
systematic basis and advantage will be
taken OF the experience of the past two
seasons In that region. Prof. George
son was conducting Investigations In
the territory last year, and, despite
late planting, he not reaching Sitka
until the middle of May, the oats, bar
ley, fax, potatoes and number of diff
ferent kinds of vegetables of good quail
ity matured and clover and grasses
made an excellent growth. This spring
an experiment office building will be
erected at Sitka to contain offices, Ia
boratories and quarters not only for
the special agent In the experiment
work, but also a weather observer.
A full equipment will be purchased to
meet the requirements, and later small
buildings will be erected on reserved
land at Sitka and Kenai for field ex-
periments. The experiments now will
be limited to growing different crops,
studies of soils and different methods
of culture and preservation Of grasses
and foreign plants, and before long ex-
periments in the care and feeding Of
live stock may be feasible.

JUDGE Claudius B. Grant, candidate

JUDGE Claudius b. Grant, candidate
for justice of the supreme court on the
republican ticket, has made for himself
an enviable reputation during his term
upon the bench. He has always been
fearless in the discharge of every duty,
and it would be detrimental to the best
interests of the state OF Michigan to per-
init his retirement at the present time.
When you go to the polls on Monday
next, be sure that you cast ballot that
will aid in his retention in the position
that he now fills with such dignity and
honor.

Then why don't we all have

OF ELECTING A PRESIDENT.
What the effect of SO democratic an
election would be on the mind of the
believer in the divine right Of kings can
only be imagined Certainly to an Ameri-
can who has always lived in doubtful
state it was revelation OF democratic
simplicity of procedure undreamed of
before When one recalls the enormous
amount of time consumed in the aggre-
gate by presidential election and the
equally enormous sums of money use
lessly-and worse than uselessly--ex-
pended at such times, the nervous tension
under which the entire country is put,
not only by the election itself, but by the
nominating conventions months in ad-
vance of it, the personal animosities en-
gendered by such struggle, the political
upheaval that follows change in the
Office, since friends must still be rewarded
and enemies punished, Notwithstanding
civil-service laws, it is with at least a
momentary regret that one remembers
the rejection by the Philadelphia con
vention of the proposition to elect the
President by the two houses of Congress.

TAKES THE PLACE OF SILK.
Large Quantities of Mercerixed Cot
tons Coming Hither from
Europe.

steady increase is noted in the i'm
portations from Europe of a new fab
ric designed to replace certain grades
OF silk. 1t is mercerized cotton-that
is, cotton which has been so chemically
treated as to give gloss to the surface,
while at the same time changing the
character of the fabric. Within the
past year an enormous increase has
taken place in the importations of
this fabric, and customs officers say
that the constantly multiplying orders
for mercerized cottons have caused an
appreciable diminution in the impor-
tations of silk goods. The mercerizing
process is applied to cotton yarns as
well as to the cloth, and the "silkifed"
cotton yarns are steadily crowding
out the silk yarns for embroidering
purposes. Experts in this line of goods
have declared that mercerized cotton
yarns are about 25 per cent. stronger
than the silk yarns.
Edwin A. Hartshorn, assistant Unit
ed States appraiser at New York, in
charge of the division in which these
mercerized goods undergo the official
inspection as required by the customs
law, says that he had seen some mer-
cerized cottons which in their close re-
semblaEce to silk would deceive men
long accustomed to handling silk
goods. An investigation recently
made by the United States general ap-
praisers into the character of imported
mercerized cottons resulted in the Off
cial declaration that the color in the
warp OF these goods is impaired by an
insoluble, inextractable coloring mat
ter inherent in the fiber, the physical
construction of the fiber being changed
by the action of caustic soda. These
mercerized cottons are coming into this
country in large quantities from Ger
many and Switzerland, and also from
Scotland. They are expected from 9TH
er countries, inasmuch as United
States consular agents report that mer-
cerizing machines are being put in
operation in nearly all of the European
countries. Dress goods in imitation of
silk can be put on the American mar
ket about 20 per cent cheaper than the
real silk.
Importers say that these cottons are
fast supplanting silk in the manufac-
ture OF silk shirt waists for women and
as novelties in dress goods. The new
fabric is also coming into extensive use
for the covering of so-called silk UNI
brellas. In tapestries and upholstery
silks the mercerized cotton has become
all important factor. While the mer-
cerized cloth has the gloss and luster Of
silk, it is pronounced as durable as
heavy cotton.-Chicago Chronicle.

PHILIPPINE INSURGENTS.
They Are Swayed and Led ON by
Different Leaders-AguinaI-
dos Power.

The insurgents facility of movement
and indifference to hardships, which
would be uncomfortable to other troops,
have made the conquest of Luzon
speedy and easy matter to them. 1t
was in this conquest that the independ-
snt spirit of the different leaders has
been shown, and it was only after the
success gained by other generals that
Aguiraldo began to appreciate the fact
that, while the commander in chief in
name, he was, in the opinion of many
of his generals, only partner in the
enterprise. For example, Gen. Maca-
bulus, a young man of about 80 years,
has raised an army and has taken pos
session of three of the richest provinces
in the northwest. Aguinaldo proposed,
not long ago, to send MacabuluS to an
other part of the island. Suspecting
that he was to be freed from his COM
mand on account Of his popularity in
the north he refused to go, saying his
provinces would have to be conquered
by Aguinaldo before he would leave
them. A few days later he forwarded
to Aguinaldo, as guarantee OF good
faith in the cause of the insurrection.
the sum of $4,000 in cash This was
since the young commander in chief
moved his headquarters from Bacoor,
in the province of Cavite, to Malolos, in
the province of Bulacan, about 25 miles
north of Manila, where the revolution
ary gov "nment was formally organ
lied recently. The action of Macabulue
is not unique. Several other prominent
leaders openly refuse to recognize the
absolute authority of Aguinaldo, each
of them refusing to submit to his die
tatorship any further than is compat-
ible with his own personal interests
Aguinaldo's power seems to be chiefly
among the lowest class of natives. who
have superstitious veneration for him
