There is a breadth in the purposes
of the Carnegie institution which
easily marks it as the most unique
educational factor of the world. The
plan and scope announced by the in
corporators suits the magnitude of
the endowment with which the insti-
tuition starts its work. The simple
reading of the ends to which the rev
enue from the $10.000,000 is to be put
is stimulus to every lover of higher
education and scientific research.

At least two measures are before
congress to provide civil rule for the
Philippines, and there is a chance
that an agreement will ultimately be
reached between house and senate on
some bill. 1t is essential to bear in
mind, however, as Gen. Chaffee said
long ago, and as Secretary Root has
said several times, that it is the mil
itary which is the backbone of Amer
lean authority in the islands. The
soldiers provide the moral force be-
hind which the civil officials can
work.

A notably enthusiastic welcome
was given to the old Independence
Bell from Philadelphia on it's arrival
in Charleston, South Carolina, where
it is now one of the attractions of
the exposition. The day was made Il
general holiday in the city. It's
schools, banks, factories and mercan-
tile houses were closed for the occa-
sion. There was a military parade,
addresses and firing of cannon in the
forts in the harbor.

According to Chicago jury, the
material woman is worth exactly $50
a pound. Miss Lizzie Miller brought
suit against Henry J. Heuning be-
cause she lost thirty pounds in
weight owing to grief at being Tilted
by him. The jurors sitting in The
case gave her verdict for $500 as
representing the extent of the dam
age arising from thirty-pourd
shrinkage in feminine avoirdupois.

Rudyard Kipling may never eake
high rank as an academic poet, but
as a political singer of tremendous
influence he occupies unique posi-
ton. His latest rhymed budget Of
unpalatable truths for the British
government and people is a master
piece for boldness and shrewd sur
gerry in song. The resultant benefit
TO the English depends upon the COM
mon sense with which they receive
and consider the Kipling screed.

Those observers of the more i'm
portant current events who count
upon Great Britain's reverses in
South Africa and the unfriendly at
titude of other European powers to-
ward that government to diminish
English spirit or impair English
pluck are ignorant of English char
acteristics as emphasized in history.
There is probably no other people in
the world who can so frankly face
- errors and so .resolutely
Srrect them in the very
aster as the British.

3. CoIvin Is Vigorous.

The following from the late Ben Col
vim, originally published in the Detroit
Journal, expresses his sentiments to-
ward the present democratic candidate
for congressman in this district in very
plain words The letter is printed just
as it was written by Mr.. Colvin.
To the Editor: Gov. Pingree once
said the traitors and lyers had all left the
democratic party and had taken shelter
under the wing of the republican party
shall take ishue with him on that for
traitors and lyers are thicker in the
democratic party than tiddlers in hell.
This fall one week before election the
republican candidates came up in this
part of the county and as soon as they
left you could hear one democrat boiler
ing for republican congressman, an
other for republican county clerk, an
other for republican judge probate, an
other one for republican prosecuting at
torney, another for sheriff, and register
deeds, another for treasurer. Now MIR.
Editor do you think these democrats
was converted in four or five days, or do
you think they were doing it just for
money. hope the true democrats will
never send any money up here in this
part of the county to get teams or pay
chalangers for they will shove it down
in their pockets and then take republican
money and vote the republican ticket.
A man has right to vote as he sees fit
but this getting converted so sudden,
have no faith in death bed repentance.
There is some good loyal true democrats
and they voted the ticket straight
say by the men that howled for republi
cans as Gov. Pingree said by Senator
Yomens when he voted and killed the
Atkinson bill if he did not get money
for it he was Dam-fool and if he die
he was Dam nave. That is just where
l stand in this election.

wagers are being made that Con-
gresham Fordney will have anywhere
from 5000 to 5000 majority. Indica-
tions are that it will be big enough.
Mr.. Fordneys record in behalf OF the
material interests of the people in the
district is an open book and is recog-
nized by every intelligent citizen. Be
sides, no good could be accomplished by
the election of Mr.. Youmans, if such
thing were possible. Mr.. Fordney is in
position to be of use to his constituents.
The Republicans will control the next
house of representatives, and the con-
gresham who accomplishes much must
be in working accord with the domin-
ant factor. The great work of Mr..
Fordney for his district at the last SEES
sion furnishes an index of what is
needed next winter in congress. The
majority of the voters in this district
will act on live issues, keeping in mind
what they believe to be the best inter
ests of the district, and for this reason
they are not going to throw their votes
away upon Mr.. Youmans Saginaw

AS the beet sugar industry is so young
in Michigan, being only four years old
the time has not yet come when the
factories are able to reduce the cost Of
manufacturing sugar where it ought to
be. There are now too many unavoid-
able expenses which with few years
more of experience and experiment
will be cut off. There are valuable BIZ
products, such as pulp, lime-refuse, and
molasses, now practically going to
waste, but which contain elements of
great value. The ingenuity of the
American mind will in few years con-
struct devices for the manufacturing of
these bi-products into articles of value.
In addition to this, improvements are
slowly but gradually being made to
minimize the cost of harvesting beets.
The beet sugar industry of Michigan
only asks that the tariff on sugar be
left unchanged for few years, or until
such time as this new and valuable
| industry to our state may become
thoroughly established ON its feet Sc
as to be able to financially stand the
altered conditions of a revised tariff.
We are sending more than 800, 000,0 0C
year out of this country to buy sugar,
all of which ought to be retained and
circulated within this country, and if
our senator's and Representatives al
Washington could only look ahead a
few wears they would see how this
enormous sum of money can be retain
ed and circulated at home by treating
the nations new industry with the
fairness it should be accorded. Edward
H. Parker, in Michigan Investor.

the laboring classes is in addition to the
amount expended in the way of farm
labor, made necessary by the increased
cultivation of beets.
The factories secure their beets by
making contracts with farmers during
the winter before the crop is to be har-
vested. The price paid in Michigan is
uniform, being "a. so per ton for IL per
cent beets, but the beets grown for the
Detroit Sugar Co.'S factory last year
averaged 10 per cent, the average price
paid to the farmers being $3.50. Beets
are shipped to the factory in the fall of
the year. and the factories start slicing
about Oct. LIST, and run continuously
until the last beet is cut.
The sugar beet crop has fully demon
strated its stability by enduring the
great drouth of 1890, and the extreme
wet of this season, thus proving con-
clusively that the sugar beet is stand
ard and reliable crop for every Michigan
farmer to grow. Nothing, perhaps, is
so indicative of the success of the sugar
beet industry as the vigor with which
the farmers connected with this crop
are going ahead and preparing their
ground for the crop Of 1908. What
this new industry has really done can
be ascertained by any one willing to
take the trouble of looking over the
records of the county register of deeds
in any county where beet sugar fac
tory is established, and comparing
records of mortgages discharged during
a certain period of time before and
after the locating of the factory. And
not only the growers benefit by this
crop, but also the grocer, clothier, shoe
dealer, and so on throughout the whole
list of business men in the state, each
through the various channels of trade
receiving his share of this general pros
perity. Investigation shows they will
readily testify that, directly or indi-
rectly, this proportionate enlargement
Of trade is due to the beet sugar indus

at least two strikes brewing all of the

He is getting all the advertising the flop
is worth.
Owosso people have discovered that
it will be necessary to locate a site for
the new government building or they
will be out of the building indefinitely.

Cuban Sugar and the Eighth District

From the Saginaw Courier Herald:
the situation in Cuba, which no longer
ago than last January was on the brink
Of ruin, from which she could only be
rescued by reducing the duties on raw
sugar. 1t was set forth that the crop of
Cuban sugar was piled up in the ware
houses and could not be moved unless
the duty was cut at least % per cent.
AT the same time it was shown by act
ual evidence that the labor of Cuba had
been increased in wages 70 per cent,
and that labor had never been SO uni
versally employed That was last Jan.
nary The Journal aoas:
LIT Is year since these predictions
of the interested pessimists were circu-
lated. Cuba is tranquil. There is no
news of unusual distress among any
class of people on the island, Even pre-
dictions of coming disaster have almost
died out. Doubtless we shall do some
thing to improve the economic situation
in the island, but it will not be in re-
Spouse to repetition of the advise of
the prophets of year ago of immediate
ruin in sight. They have discredited
their cause and impeached their judg-
ment."
ha a11 hot f1,a Of
Cuban sugar this year is estimated at
900, 900 tons, an increase over last year
of something like 100000 tons. And
aside from the we'll defined sentiment
that we have already done very well
with Cuba, the idea is gaining that ou1
own interests, and not particularly
those of Cuba, ought to occupy our at
tention No such distress as has been
pictured has existed in Cuba since peace
was declared, nor does it now. The
sugar planters in Cuba are men operat-
ing with large capital, and they are in
terested in making their plantations
more valuable. The American sugar
trust handles large portion of their
product, and it would place some mill
ions in the pockets of the trust if the
tariff on Cuban sugar We're reduced.
The American people are not opposed
to such reciprocity with the island as
can be arranged without injury to
American industry, but they will OPP
pose any proposition to cripple grow
ing industry in this country, that the
republican party is pledged to foster
and encourage, merely to add to the
wealth of the Sugar Refining trust.
The people of the Eighth district,
who are largely and vitality interested
in the development of the beet sugar
industry, are fortunate in having such
a resourceful and capable representa-
tive in congress as Joseph W. Fordnev
He has proved his great utility to the
district, especially in the fight for the
beet sugar industry, and that he will be
sent back to assist in holding back the
hands of the sugar trust is as certain as
that Tuesday, Nov. 4, will arrive on
schedule time.

Cleanliness is next to godliness. y
Dirt and depravity go hand in hand.
This is just as true of the inside of the
body as the outside. Constipation clogs
the body and clouds the mind. Con
stipation means that corruption is
breeding in the body, poisoning the
blood with its foul limitations, befog
ging the brain with its tainted exhala-
tons Constipation is the beginning
of more diseases than, perhaps, any
other single disorder. The consequence:
of constipation are legion. Headache
pain in the side, shortness of breath, un
due fullness after eating, GOODNESS of the
extremities, nervousness, indecision
lassitude, dizziness, sallowness, flatu
lence, and a sore of other ailments are
directly caused by constipation. Cure
