Great City For Prayer.

A visitor to Moscow soon discovers
why it is called the Holy City. Ev-
cry 200 or 800 feet there is cathedral,
church, chapel or shrine, and which
ever way you look you see people
crossing themselves. Until one has
seen Moscow the piety of the place is
not easily understood. The outsider
cannot imagine Moscow conditions. He
cannot imagine church bells ringing
all the time and people praying In the
public streets at all hours of day and
night.

What Tim Told Them.

Some weeks ago bridal couple
visited San Francisco, The bridegroom
was very sensitive, and so he told his
valet not to tell any of the servants at
the hotel that he was newly married.
Notwithstanding all precautions, the
young couple seemed to be the CEN
ter of attraction. In the dining-room
they were ogled by the ladies and in
the corridors by the men. Finally they
could stand IL no longer. Calling his
valet, the bridegroom said severely:
"Tim, l thought told you not to tell
anybody that we were newly married"
'Shure, sorr," was the reply, "an'

For Attorney General.

The announcement Of the candidacy of
Hon. Chase S. Osborn, of the $780," for
gubernatorial honors and the consequent
withdrawal of Hon. Horace NJ. Oren, also
of Sault Ste. Marie, from the field for re-
nomination as attorney general, will throw
the latter nomination open again this year
to new candidates. In view of the fact
that two years ago Owesso went into the
state convention with a candidate for this
nomination who secured remarkably large
vote In spite of the lateness of the an
nouncement of his candidacy. this late de-.
velopment in the political field has a striking
local significance. In effect it means that
Hon. Frank Fl. Watson. who nearly secured
the nomination captured by Mr.. Oren two
ago, will again appear'5efore the con-
vention as candidate for this nomination,
and. in view of the strong showing made
before by Mr.. Watson, The TlaeEs believes
that this year DE will stand the best Of
chances for landing the prize. The TIMES
will have more to say of Mr.. Wats0n's
claims later on. but Ia the meantime it may
be set down that Hon. Frank Fl. Watson is a
candidate for the republican nomination for
the Office of attorney general and will be
until the last ballot Is east

Tuesday evenings Detroit papers con-
tanned the announcements OF the candidacy Of
another exceptionally good man for guber-
material donors at the hands Of the republi-
can state convention, being no other than
the present efficient and popular state rail-
road commissioner, Hon. Chase s. Osborn,
of Sault Ste Marie. Mr.. Osborn's name has
often been mentioned In connection with
this nomination but until this week he had
not given much encouragement to the
friends who wished him to made the can
yass. As Mr.. Osborn never does things In
any half.hearted way, however, he may be
expected to make up In the vigor Of his can
vass for whatever time he may have lost be.
fore announcing his candidacy. Besides,
the most enthusiastic admirer of long can
vass could hardly ask for an earlier an
nouncement than Mr.. 'OsboTn's In spite of
the fact that with such men as James O'DOn-
nell, ID. M. Ferry. Col. A. T. Bliss, and
Michigan republicans may feel that the ad-
tliti0n to the list of another name as attrac
tive as that of Mr.. Osborn's is only increas-
ing the difficulty of making choice among
the candidates. The new candidate will of
course have solid delegation from the up
per peninsula behind him when he enters
the state convention, but as Mr.. Stearns ap
pears to be almost equally certain Of the
solid western Michigan delegation at that
same interesting juncture, 1t now appears
more than likely that the latter will lead
all candidates, on the first ballot. Each Of
the other candidates is however very strong
In his own part of the state and has many
friends throughout the entire state as has
also Hon. Milo. ID. Campbell, who Is gener-
ally understood to be in the race tho he has
not formally announced his candidacy.
The result Is that while the friends Of Mr..
Stearns are perhaps more confident than
any of the others yet there Is both hope and
uncertainty enough about II all to keep up
the interest of all to the very highest pitch.
On the other hand as before pointed out, a
better and more representative list of can
didates was certainly never before held up

Self HELP In Education.

will be from : 90 70 & 90 per day.
These earnings carefully laid aside will
enable the young men Co enter college
about February (Which IL the time of
the opening of the second semester)
They will toe permitted 20 take any col
lege work for which they are qualified !:
or they may enter upon special course
in the science of the beet sugar Industry
the art of which they acquire in the
factory. During the long summer vaca-
ton they will fiud work on the farms
where the sugar beet grows" This is
believed 70 be the best solution OF the
problem OF self help yet found. II is
the education Of hand and brain allie
Ii is more remunerative than school

eft of this offer, all that a young man
needs 70 have is good sense, good health,
good moral character and good common
school education Seventy free scholar
ships are offered by the faculty They
have been divided between the college
and the academy as follows: Thirty Of
them give entrance to the college from
accredited high schools having twelve
grades, and forty admit TO the academy
from accredited schools having eight or
ten grades, and from district schools

The tariff is not the mother Of trusts
A practical illustration Of this fact re-
Gently came before the Michigan Press
Association In its meeting at Grand Rap
ids. Print paper has nearly doubled in
price within q year. This very naturally
makes the country editor who is furnish
ing dollar "A. year paper, wonder how he
10 going to pay expenses and not increase
the price Of his paper. while all dealers
have largely increased the price OF their
goods for a similar reason. A few mem
beers Of the Press Association favored
sending petition TO congress asking
that the tariff on wood pulp. from which
print paper Is made. be removed. But
this was evidently a political move by
the enemies Of the tariff. as the facts will
prove. The tariff on wood pulp Is only
three.tenths Of cent per pound and If
entirely removed would effect the price
Of print paper so little that purchaser
would hardly realize that reduction
had been made. The wood pulp pro-
ducers have raised the price Of their pro.
duct to four times what 1t was q year ago
and yet the tariff don't help foreigners TO
come in for their share in the big profits
produced to the trust by its mother, the
tariff. The facts are about the same in
this case as In several others; the pulp
trust has secured control of large part
Of the timber that is used for paper pulp
and also it takes some time for new con.
Germs to build up factories and get into
the market. The trust is also over CAPT
talized and users of print paper must pay
prices for their stock that will make divi-
dends on about double the amount of
capital that is actually invested in the
man ufacture Of print paper But the
observing, thoughtful editor will not fly
10 legislation nor 70 anything else for
immediate relief for he knows that Il
business that Is org nized on unsound
business principles can not long stand on
such foundation and the water must be
squeezed out of the print paper trust
stock or the trust will 90 down as bust
ness investment.

I Sugar Beet Notes.

Two-thirds OF the worlds sugar IL
now produced from beets. Prior TO
lS7l-72 the worlds production OF beet
sugar had reached million tons in the
present crop year il il, according to lat
est estimates 6,5l0, 900 tons. while the
cane sugar crop which In lS7l.72 was
,599 900 tons IL in the present year
Z, 1901, 900 tons. Thus cane sugar pro-
duction has scarcely doubled during the
period under consideration. while that
from beets has more than quintupled.
Meantime the price has fallen more
than one half, the average cost In for
eign countries OF all sugar imported in.
10 the United States in the fiscal year or
1872 being 5.37 per pound. and in 1899
2.39 cents per pound. These facts are
interesting in view OF the consideration
of matters by Congress relating TO the
sugar producing islands which have re-
Gently come into closer relations with
the United States. The sugar produc-
ing area ofthe world has in less than
half a century been shifted from the
tropics northward and the farmer OF the
temperate zone has shown his ability
not only 70 compete with the low priced
labor Of the tropics, but In doing 80 to
reduce by one-half the cost OF the arti-
Gle produced
The following statements are from
newspa pers located in towns where no
sugar factories exist. and therefore IL
cannot be said that they have been
made on account Of any influence the
factories might have:
South Haven Messenger: The exper
fence of most farmers who grew beets
last year was not encouraging. Many
of them thought theydid not get ade.
quate pay for the labor expended and
decided at once not TO attempt IL again.
Did il ever occur 10 them that many
times some other crop. even one with the
raising Of which they were familiar, has
often failed to pay, or been complete
failure? Wheat sometimes fails. Corn
is often poor crop. Peaches are nm.
certain. Had they had poor first crop
Of corn would they have stopped at
that?
Muskegon Chronicle 1t IL pity the
new beet sugar factories In southwestern
Michigan have to 60 to northern Indiana
this year for their supply Of roots. OF
course Michigan farmers do not want to
grow beets at loss but are they not too
soon becoming discouraged when IL Ia
known that those Of other states have
done we'll in the business' Few crops
are profitable every year. The new in
dustry deserves more than one years
trial.
