Entitled to be Returned.

Mr.. Joseph Fordney has made an ac-
ceptable representative in congress, and
MIR. Fordney should be returned. The
most influential members of congress
and most able to render signal service
to the country and to their constituents,
are the men who have served years in
congress. 1t takes time to learn the ms
and outs of the government machinery.
1t requires years of experience to be
versed in matters of state, and the men
who have served long terms in congress
are the men who are prominent in the
house. Dingley and Boutell and others
welded large influence in congress,
because of their familiarity with govern
ment matters. which they acquired, not
by reason of their brightness, but be-
cause of long membership, which rem
dered them intimate with men and af-
fairs. The work of congress is facilitat.
ed largely, if not wholly, in committee.
Members of committee must study the
questions referred to them, carefully
and patiently; the more intimately the
members o. committee are acquainted
with this kind of work, the more ex-
peditiously will it be accomplished and
the greater will be their influence in
settling the questions referred to them
Now this condition of things can only
be brought about by returning the same
man to congress many times, in fact, so
long as he gives satisfaction. Mr. Ford
ney has certainly given satisfaction.
and Mr.. Fordney is entitled to be re-
turned .-Saginawian.

Olivet College Offers Scholarship Tor tn
Owosso High School.


Reputation, equipment, and endow-
ment are three things which make a
college great
At the very outset Olivet set up high
standard of scholarship which it has
never lowered for the sake of numbers.
AS result no college in the state ranks
higher or is more widely or favorably
known.
Throughout the years the college
has steadily added to its plant and
equipment until the institution has
eleven buildings fine museums, labora
tories, a splendid library of 10000 vol
umes, four literary societies, and a
faculty of twenty-five drawn from the
leading institutions OF America. Its
preparatory department is the strongest
in the state. Its college courses are
largely elective and offer much oppor-
tunity for specialization. There is an
art department, conservatory of
music of high order, and normal de-
partment which is altogether unable to
fill the call it has for teachers. A di-
ploma from the college secures the state
teachers certificate.
Olivet is now increasing its capital
stock. Last commencement saw $780,
900 added to its endowment fund, and a
considerable amount in sight for sec
ond hundred thousand.
These three conditions warrant Olivet
college in assuming more liberal policy
in reference to students. For one thing
this policy takes the form of esta blishing
a free scholarship in a limited number
of leading high schools of Michigan.
This scholarship is offered,to that gradu-
ate in the high school selected whose
standing in studies is highest or next to
the highest,is good for the coming school
year, and is worth forty.five dollars.
This will do much in solving the prob.
lem of going to college, especially in
view of the fact that at Olivet other ex.
penses are so moderate that, with econ
omy, from 500 to 500 will suffice.
Superintendent, e. T. Austin, has
been notified of the action of the college,
and blanks placed in his hands to be
filled out with the name of the fortunate
winner.
Under the above offer the person
who is eligible to the scholarship for
next year is Miss Bertha Payne, daugh.
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. H. Payne, of
Willowdale Farm. south of the city.
Miss Payne's average standing was "a
and 11-19ths. In case Miss Payne should
not desire the scholarship it would be
offered to Miss Georgia Tilden, of Yer
non, whose standing was "a and 1-S the
second highest in the class.

A Remarkable Suit.

Chnlieothe, O., July i16.--A.77 suit of
a most remarkable character was filed
here yesterday by Mrs. Cornelia H.
Emmitt against her husband, Floyd
Emmitt, son of the late Hon. James
Emmitt, and Howard and. A; e. Hol-
land, of Washington G. H. Some years
ago Emmitt invented the Emmitt hose
coupler, and hiszwlfc subsequently be-
came the owner of the letters patent,
which, She claims, were worth $4,000.
About March 2S last she alleges that
her husband conspired with the Hol
lands to have her sell these letters pat
ent for the grossly Inadequate sum of
$1OO. 3" ~ s-,-,,
She declares that while she was sick
she was given large quantity of in
toxicating liquors by her husband, in
stigated by the Hollands, and that
while in a helpless and irresponsible
condition, the three men caused her to
execute and sign a paper selling the
letters patent to the Hollands for 800
together with the right to manufacture
and vend this improvement in coup
lings 1t is further alleged by Mrs.
Emmitt that the check for $l00 was
drawn April 1, 1900, and that her hus-
band by improper influences. knowing
her mental and physical condition. per-
suaded her to indorse her name on the
back of the check and kept from her
any part of the sum mentioned.
She asks that the sale be declared
fraudulent and that. a temporary in
junction be granted to keep the Hol-
lands from selling the letters patent
until the final hearing of the case.

Ahead of Civilization.

A good roads congress now in ses-
sion at Port Huron, is attracting very
little attention.. That is because the
association which it represents is a
step ahead in advance of our present
civilization. This country is not i'm
pressed with the importance of good
roads. Its people are ready to admit
that they would rather travel on good
roads than on bad ones, but they don't
think the good ones are worth the
money they wohld cost Figures are
at hand to show the comparative econ
omy of good roads over bad ones, de-
spite their greater first cost, but the
people will not read them, or, If they
do, will not believe and act on them.
That is why we say American eiviliza-
tion has not yet reached the, good
roads point.-Philadelphia Public

Gardner Found Guilty.

Chillicothe. O., July 14.-Guilty of
murder in the first degree, said the
jury which tried Richard Gardner for
the outrage and murder of little Ethel
Long. and they made no recommenda-
ton for clemency. The arguments
were concluded and the case submitted
at AIS this afternoon. At GAS the
jury filed in and solemnly announced
their finding which if it stands will
consign Gardner to meet death in the
electric chair at Columbus. The YER
dict was received with grim satisfac-
ton for the feeling against Gardner
had not abated and little would have
been needed TO cause REPETITION of
the attempt made to lynch the prison
er here and in Athens, when the first
thrill OF horror was in the public mind
The crime OF which Gardner stands
convicted is the outrage OF little Ethel
Long as she went to the spring near
her Ross county home, the negro fol-
lowing up his awful deed by choking
the life out OF his victim with a piece of
rope. While there were no eyewit-
nesses to the crime, a chain of circum-
stantial evidence was welded from
which there was no escape.

Risking Niagara's Fury.

The boat that went through the Nj
agara rapids was no the first, nor was
Bowser the first man to pass through
the great rapids into the whirlpool and
live to tell the tale. Forty years ago
the little Maid Of the Mist made the
trip, and, we believe, her successor,
another Maid. passed through them
safely long afterward. and both had
crews, Some have tried to pass the
rapids by swimming and paid for their
fool hardines with their lives. One
man went through IN a padded barrel,
but in spite OF the pads ne was ex-
hausted at the end of the trip and
thankful he was living. Another man
went through with cork jacket to
protect him and escaped safely, but,
for all that men of sound sense. who
are not seeking notoriety, will not
make the experiment.
