Now that the democrats at Kalamazoo
have established the precedent Of feeding
and toasting the delegates to the democratic
state conventions, perhaps even Shiawassee
democrats will get up enough interest in
their state conventions so that the chairman
Of their county convention will not have to
beg for names of delegates, saying In q
pleading voice, "Now. who else is there
that thinks he can possibly gos II any Of
you know Of any one. just speak up and
we'll send him." and have for . reply
only dead silence broken only BY
the gsrulous voice Of some back mum.

favor of the best bill for equal taxation
which could be secured-the Atkinson bill
in spite of Its defects If no better one could
be passed.

Beet Sugar at the University

The subject OF beet sugar production Is
to be provided for in the Summer School
of the University OF Michigan. A course of
laboratory work and lectures on this sub
ject is promised by Erwin E Ewell,o of Wash
ington, one of the sugar chemists of the
United States Department of Agriculture.
Mr.. Ewell was one of the contributors to
Spencers's Handbook for Beet Sugar Manu-.
facturers now In use In the factories. He
was the author of Every Farm an Expert.
ment Station In the yearbook of the depart
ment Of Agriculture for 1897; also of Pro-
ducti0n of Ammonia of the Soil by Mi
crObes In volume VIII of Agricultural
Science, and of Bulletin No. IS on the
Fertilizing Value of Street Sweepings. Mr..
Ewell was student at Ann ArbOr from
1889 to 1890.
A careful study of methods of beet sugar
manufacture will be made by the present
class In organic chemical technology in the
lectures by Alfred Fl. White. As a special
student of Professor Lunge at the Zurich
polytechnic Mr.. White has had the best of
preparation for this teaching. In the analy.
sis of beets for sugar and for the factor OF
impurity there is now small but very en-
thusiastic class in the chemical laboratory,
under the instruction of DR.. Gomberg.

Com. o. l.. Bristol was nominated at the
convention held in COrunna last Thursday
for a second team. Mr.. Bristol has given
general satisfaction during the past two
years and has had the advancement of the
standard of the district schools ever at heart.
Some of our schools are behind the average,
but we look for hard work from the next
commissioner, and slight increase to the
teachers salary, to put those schools yet in
the ranks. We see no reason why our
former principal will not be reelected in

In explaining the amendments to the
Cheever-Atkinson made by the senate COM
mittee, Senator Potter made the startling
announcement that, as the bill passed the
house Notwithstanding all that has been
said about railroad taxation, the word
''railr0ad" was omitted from the most vital
section Of the bill, and IL the senate had
passed 1t without inserting this word, the
bill would not have applied to railroad COM
panies at all. After all there is nothing
particularly strange about such fatal
omission as something must be wrong about
the bill to give Gov. Pingree an excuse to
be q candidate for reelection In 1900.

Senator Collingwood's bill to allow Du-
rand to issue bonds to the amount Of $780,.
900 for the purpose of putting in water
works, passed the senate Tuesday, after
being amended to require two thirds vote
of the citizens to authorize the loan.
Senator Sayre opposed the bill on the
grounds that the village of Dnrand is
bonded to amount of nearly $40 per capita.
The bonded indebtedness at present ID
$40, 900. The request is for $50, 900 more,
making total of $50. 600 with population
of about 1000. He claimed the village
could not now pay its running expenses.

Auouo0y.
A bill which would injure the business
of the druggists Of the state many Thousands
Of dollars worth annually. besides driving
many Of them out of business altogether.
without doing the public any correspond
Ing good is the one introduced into the
Legislature as the Pack bill. This bill II
made q law would require every manu-
facturer OF so.called patent medicines to
paste ON every bottle or package Of his
medicines which he offered for sale In
Michigan, label on which was printed the
full formula Of drugs and other ingredients
Of which the medicine was composed.
Just what use this would be to con-
sumers of patent medicines 1t Is little diff
ficult to see. The person who has used q
patent medicine for years and has always
regarded 1t as q necessary and useful
family remedy, relying on 1t for the cure of
certain ailments, has no desire to know the
formula from which 1t Is compounded. In
fact the chances are that he would trust the
old familiar label quicker than the word Of
stranger that the new mixture was sex
actly the same" as the old any way. But
the formula of the most trustworthy of
these old family medicines would not be
known, for the manufacturers would with
draw the sale of their medicines from the
state rather than give up to INSCRIPTIONS
imitstors the secrets they have guarded so
long. Thus neither would the medicine
buying public be any wiser nor, II that is
Its object, would they be able to have the
medicines compounded themselves at q
lower cost.
But the manufacturers have some rights,
themselves, and 1t Is manifestly unfair
after they have spent thousands of dollars
In bringing their remedies before the public,
and have created a demand for them, to
oblige them suddenly to throw up their
business at great loss or else give up the
secret which has been perhaps, secured
by them only at great cost. To the drug
1gists such measure could not fail to work
severe loss which could not be made up by
the extra amount of prescription work re-
quired.
The advantages of the measure practic-
ally do not exist for honOra BILE consumers,
while the Inconvenience exist for all-cOn-
sumers, druggists, and manufacturers alike.
The bill should not be allowed to become a

The judicial convention for the 35th cir
cult, held at Howell yesterday. did Its work
in very prompt and satisfactory manner.
Odell Chapman, chairman of the circuit
committee, called the convention to order.
+. H. Watson, Of this city. and Frank j..
Shields, OF Howell. were selected to serve
respectively rs chairman and secretary.
The usual committees were named, the
temporary officers made permanent, and q
full list Of delegates reported from each
county.
Nominations for Q candidate for circuit
Judge being In order, N. X. Potter, of
Burns, In his characteristic manner, pre-
sented the name of Hon. Stearns r.
Smith, of this city. The name of b. 7. o.
Clark, OF Brighton, was presented by one
of the Livingston delegates. After the
nominations had been seconded, an In.
formal ballot was ordered. The whole
number OF votes cast was 90, of which Mr..
Smith received Is, Mr.. Clark IL. On the
formal ballot Judge Smith received 25 votes
and Mr.. Clark 1, and on motion the former
was declared the unanimous nominee of
the convention. Judge Smith was brought
before the convention and In very happy
20 minute address accepted the honor con-
ferred upon him. Remarks were also made
by several of the Livingston and Shiawas-
see delegates, pledging earnest support to
the nominee.
The following judicial committee for the
ensuing two years was appointed: A. e.
Richards, C0runna; r. j. Shields, Howell;
N. K. Potter, Burns.
The proceedings throughout were marked
by the utmost harmony and good will.
From the start the nomination was conceded
to Judge Smith, large part of the Liv-
ingston delegates favoriDg his candidacy.
Unusual interest was manifested in the
convention, the court room being filed with
spectators, among whom were over thirty
residents of this county in addition to the
delegates.
If the republicans of the district get to the
polls on election day there is not the slight
est doubt of Judge Smiths reelection by a
large majority. Livingston voters will do
their full share in seeing that he is thus
hOnored.
