Lansing factories will begin to run on
standard time next Monday, according
to dispatches in the state papers Now
if they will only begin work at the same
time of day by the clock, after setting
their time pieces back to standard time
and make their day begin and end just
half hour later than heretofore they
will escape a lot of confusion which
Owosso has suffered and seems destined
to suffer for long time to come. If a
factory began work at seven in the
morning and stopped at twelve noon,
began at one and stopped for the day at
six according to the old time, it is hard
to make people see the advantages of
standard time if they have tochange the
nominal hour of beginning and ending
their work to half past six in the morn
ing, half pastIeleven at noon, and to half
past twelve and half past five for the
beginning and ending of the afternoon
working hours. Let the day begin a
half hour later, by the clocks and then
stick to the old hours or disadvantages
of standard time will scarcely begin to
be realized.

Mr.. VIM. Harris is in receipt of the
following letter from his son, Mr.. T. D.
Harris, Asst. Pa5master U. S. Navy:
U. s. s. Frohc, Catbologan, Samar,
April 8, 1902.
My Dear Folks: 1t seems very nat
ural, also very good, to be writing to
you from my own ship again. I report
ed on the Frolic the 31st of March, and
as the Admiral had been holding her for
me to report aboard before sending her
south, 1 was more than hurried.
1 reported one noon and the next
night 1 had all my stores and money
aboard ready to get under way the next
morning. Had great time getting my
money. The Mexican dollar is used
almost altogether out here, so had to
go aboard the Kentucky, which is the
flagship, and get check from the fleet
paymaster for the amount required.
Then l went over to Manila to get it
cashed-$22, 900 in silver dollars. 1t
was put in boxes, five of which weighed
24O pounds each, and after it was boxed
1 sent the yeoman out after an OK cart
and three Chinese coolies After much
tugging and granting the coolies got
the boxes on the cart and drove to the
navy-yard launch which carried the
money to the ship. The naval station
is at Cavite, which is across the bay
from Manila, and the distance is about
seven miles.
We left Cavite the I'd inst and went
to Guinayan, little town about two
hundred miles south of Manila, and
picked up two officers and took them
around to another small town on the
east coast Of Luzon, called Antimonan.
These officers are establishing the lati-
tude and longitude Of different places
on the islands. From Antimonan we
came here to Catbologan, which is on
the island Of Samsr. We leave here to-
morrow for Cavite, where we will be
for few days and will then come south
again for cruise among the southern
islands. l think that l am going to
like the duty here fully as we'll, If not
better than did in Cuba The weather
so far has not been so awfully hot, this
just being the end Of the cool season.
Ashore it is quite hot and disagreeable,
and am rather glad that 1 was not or
dered to the Cavite station. The
"Frolic' was on the Great Lakes before
the Yankton was and was owned by
Mr.. Hanna, brother to Mark. She is
smaller than the Yankton, but as she
seldom goes outside of the islands she is
very comfortable. She has a crew of
sixty-ive men and six officers, so you
see l am in no danger of being over
worked. The officers are all very pleas
ant and congenial fellows, which as
sures good time under most any con-
ditions. Poor Paymaster Chum died at
the Cavite hospital the day reported.
1t was quite sad case as he was mar
ried and his wife was in Maryland at
the time of his death.
We expect to find mail awaiting us
when we get to Cavite and / do hope I
will get letter from you. I havnt
had any mail in 80 long time that
can hardly wait until we get there
The officers say that the hunting is
very good in the southern islands, so
am going to lay in q good stock of am
munition when get to Cavite.
VIII write again soon. / hope you
will write often and tell me all the
news.
With much love.

Senator Morgan of the canal COM
mittee now says that Columbia is not
playing fair with the United States in
her negotiations regarding the Panama
route. He seems to think that she is
attempting to get the greater part of
the property of the Panama company
into her own hands if it can be done
without openly breaking faith with
France.

The perfection of American watch
making machinery has proceeded to
such degree that the Waltham Watch
Co. completes in Geneva itself for the
sale of the finest watches made, while
in other parts of the continent the repu-
tation of the American cheap watch has
become so great that limitations of the
American article are found everywhere
on the market.

The Carson City Gazette says Hon.
Frank H. Watson, Owosso, will ask the
republicans of Michigan to nominate
him for attorney general at the conven-
ton in Detroit, June 90. Mr.. Watson
is an able attorney, is one of the sturdy
kind of republicans, stands well at
home, is young enough to be thoroughly
active and old enough to be conserva-
lively safe; hence, the party will make
good choice if they nominate him.

patches, are so high toned and aesthetic

Apparently the only criticism which
can be offered to their tastes is the fact
that they leave the depleted lawns and

According to the expense account of
General Wood, extracts from which
were published in the Wednesday
papers, the late Governor General of
Cuba has some interesting explanations
to make as to the necessity of making
poor, starving Cuba" pay for certain
items in his account. From the appear
ance of some of the items in that &C
count it would not seem the strangest
thing in the world if General Wood did
think that the Cubans needed aid in the
form of tariff concessions on sugar i'm
ported into this country. But the Michi-
gan farmers at whose expense the sugar
trust-instead of the Cuban planters
were to be benefited were not charging
mp their wine accounts and silk goods to
this or any other government.

cision of the reviewing authority in

Lieut.. Day was censured for obeying
Major Walters orders when he knew
that the condition of Major Waller was
such that his judgment should not have
been relied on and that the order was
one, the execution of which would
bring the gravest disrspute on the ma

were disapproved in the different points
excepting that of murder, the acquit-
tai of that charge standing.

Ohio republicans have been looking
after the interestso Of Senator Hanna at
the state convention in Cleveland this
week and already plans are well under
way looking to his return to the senate
next year. The leaders are also taking
pains to see that, if by any chance
President Roosevelt should not again be
a candidate two years from now, moth
ing shall stand in the way of the nomi-
nation of the Ohio statesman to that
Office. There have beenr-no signs Of
disloyalty to the president, whose course
is on the contrary warmly approved,
and there has been no hint Of furthering
any plans for the advancement of
Senator Hanna at the expense Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. This course is doubly
commendable. The president deserves
the support of republicans everywhere.
On the other hand If by any unforeseen
circumstance his denomination should
be impossible, THE TIMES does not
know of any man to whose executive
ability, craftsmanship, patriotism, or
desire to better the condition of his
fellow countrymen it would prefer to
see the presidency intrusted than to
Senator Hanna.

Dispatches sent from Washington the
first of the week contain items which
are Of interest to Americans in general,
although to the farmers of the country
and the, manufacturers of farm ma
chinery in particular. The dispatches
were based on consular reports from the
volume on Commercial Relations f6f
1901" and it develops that -.practieaaiy
every consular officer in France has
noted great increase in the importa-
ton and consequent use of American
farm machines in that country, 1T is
stated that the farm machinery nHhe
by American manufacturers is becom-
ing popular at a very.xapid- rate fertile
ease with which it can be used as well
as in the economy Of its use. Inciden-
tally the new departure opens up fine
field for the manufactures Of. the United
States while the resultingicheapening Of
the cost of producing crops in France
will not be enough in its entirety to
effect the market for the products of the
American farm. The result is. distinct
gain to all concerned. aa~'si' s'-s-as N. !.
