whenever any citizen summoned courage
enough to ask him what was to be done
with ;he Porto Ricans and the Filipinos.
In a great and somewhat glorious burst of
eioquence upon the floor of the Senate last
spring We recall that the Hon. George
Frisbie Hoar left upon our mind the i'm
preston that he discerned a heavy fog
hanging between the pilot and the only
safe and tried course of the ship OF state.
Indeed, our versatile and tickle friend from
Massachusetts declared that the pilot could
escape from the fog by two or three simple
little twists on the wheel, but for his part
he very much feared that these twists
would not be given.
Well, the pilot is still there. We re-
specially ask the Hon. George Frisbie Hoar
if the fog also is still there. II 1t is. then
we have the assurance of the ever hopeful
Mr. Edmunds that it will be dissipated by

Senator Hoar take this view Of the case?
If he does. then We shall not again have

quent protestations against the drift"

on the same platform, for Mr.. Hanna ad-

Very Interesting Figures
ON It's Work.

Coldwater, June 22.-Hon. Milo ID.
Campbell has given out some statistics
i'm advance of the regular report of the
state tax commission which will GER
tainly attract public attention. He
says that $50 out of 1910 townships
in the state report an increase of S42,-
315,157 on personal property assess
ment, and 26 of the SO cities in the
state report an increase on personal
property assessment amounting to
$44, 1916. The increase of real estate
assessments in the same towns and
cities above mentioned is $67, ,729, $40,

fident that the cities not yet reported

about $3S,000,O00 and the townships
not yet reported will add $ls,O00,0O0,
which will give an increase of personal
assessments in the state of $143,000, 900,
