Last Friday night Marshal Favor ar
rested a drunken tramp at Broadway

then he went p' aceably.
An Abilene citizen who gratutous-

The Hygiene Of Old Age.

We look upon the aged with good

life, one that may be loosened by
slight shock Of injury or disease
which, in the young or middle.aged,
would serve only as stimulus to the
reparative powers. This is a conser-
valive belief, but it warns us to shield
our loved ones, who have fought the
fight, from all influences which might
shorten their stay with us. But we
must not 20 to far in our solcitude,
for injury may be inflicted and life
shortened by coddling the cid, al
most as surIy as by coddling the
young. The vital processes in the

tent, and they may be KEEP. active by
gentle opposition and stimulation, just
as they may be increased in childhood
and youth by rough methods. DR..

striking out the house provision for

Cuba had said thai Cuban labor is as
well paid as farm labor in Kansas or
any other part Of the United States
Mr. Burton said that if this were true
the Cuoan laborer certainly was not
in need Of aims from the people Of the
United States. He also urged that II
the plantation owners we're able to
pay Kansas prices they could not be
in desperate straits, as had been rep
resented.
Nor, he added, could it be said
that Cuban government was in posi-
tion to ask assistance from any one,
for when Governor Wood surrendered
the rens Of government at Havana
there were $800,000 in the Cuban
treasury. and the government had an
assured annual income OF $l7, 900, 900.
His conclusion was that as neither the
government, the planters, nor the
Cuban laborers had any need OF the
proposed assistance it was unfair and
unjust to ask the taI mers Of this coun-

the purpose Of granting an annuity Of

BURTON ON CUBAN ASSISTANCE.
Kansas Senator Shows That the Island
Is Not Suffering.

Before the senate caucus on the
Cuban reciprocity bill Senator Burton
last week made one of the principal
addresses in favor of the American
farmers interest as opposed to
Cuban sugar interests. The assocl.
ated press gives this report OF it:
"rhp meeting had almos conc uded
when Senator Burton Of Kansas took
the Il ,or to make brief bul impas
stoned and eloquent speech in sup
port and defense Of the attitude OF the
beet sugar Republicans. he took as
bis text certain remarks which had
been made by Senator Plalt Of Con.
necticut, at the Wednesday evening
meeting and by Senator Foraker al
today's meeting. He spoke especially
with reference to an intimation that
the beet sugar senators were not loyal
to the party. He said that the press
Of the country had presented only one
side Of the question. His side. he
said, stood for the support Of one Of

coming to the front with a rapidity

had marked the history OF few inter.

that this interest should have the
same protecting care that the Repub'

Cling Industries. He said that it was
not true that the beet sugar men were
not willing to extend helping hand
to the people OF Cuba II they needed
help, but he contended that there wa
no need for assistance to the people o

the years that he has been in the bust

from almost nothing splendid business
which has brought thousands of dollars
already to the pockets of Shiawassee
county farmers whose confidence he
gained from the start and has always
held. Incidentally he has been the
means of showing the farmers of the
county that there is far more money in
poultry for them than they ever sus-
pected and his business has been good
one both for them and for the city in
which it has been conducted. Aside
from business way of looking at the
matter moreover THE TIMES is glad
that the mayor has purchased the bust
ness and will continue indefinitely to
make his home in the city which last
spring made him its chief magistrate

as warm weather comes the work of
doubling the capacity of the beet sugar
factory here will be begun. The capac-
ity of the plant after the improvements
have been made will be 1000 tons of
beets per day, which will make it the
largest in the State. The enlargement
will necessitate the securing of contracts
for raising 10000 acres of beets, but no
difficulty is anticipated along this line,
as the farmers of Tuscola county are
thoroughly well satisfied with their past
experience in raising beets. =

The French are now making great
efforts to study American methods of

Germans We're discussing plans for
sending representative and capable
young German mechanics to this coun-
try to study the methods of the best
American shops, mills, and factories,
and now the French are making plans
for not only that part of the work, but
to make that work doubly effective they
also propose to establish schools in
various parts of this country in advan-
tageous locations where students and
workers from France can learn Ameri-
can methods and study the operation of
American machines. When it is con-
sidered that but two or three years ago
the technical schools of France and Ger
many were considered the best in the
world and American students went to
both places for advanced engineering
work, the revolution in the manufactur-
ing world seems all the more striking.
All this attention to American meth

the American workman feel the slightest
uneasiness. There is however the ne
cessity for a better education of the
American boy who is going to make the
American machinist and engineer than
his father had His father could easily
compete with the European skilled
laborer because he knew more than the
European skilled laborer knew. But the
European machinist of tomorrow is go

an increasing degree, they will not make
the same Roadway over their European
competitors that their fathers have

American of tomorrow will have keen

has at last become aware of the fact that
he is being badly beaten, and now the
American must look anew to his laurels
to see that he maintains the lead And
he will do it. The American skilled

Collector Ivey at Sitka has his own

With all due respect to the Canadian

fact that it too has been called down by
this same Collector Ivey who called
down the obstreperous Canadian-who
even opened the mail Of United States
officials according to the American col
lector's report-and that it will keep
him in the service. 1t may be possible
that Collector Ivey needs little coach

little more respectful way but it GER

There are two things yet which Shia-
wassee county farmers would do we'll to
write about to their congressman and
the senators from this state and they
are the proposition to cripple the rural
free delivery service, by the proposition
embodied in the Loud bill to place the
carriers on contract system, and the
other is the proposal to reduce the sugar
tariff thereby endangering their interests
in one of the most profitable industries
which have ever been inaugurated in
this state. All of these gentlemen
themselves stand pat on both these
questions but the receipt of few
hundred letters from their constituents
in this county will give them arguments
of no small weight with their republican
colleagues from some of the other states.
The farmers have the opportunity at
this time to take hand in keeping their
rural free delivery service up to the
high grade it should have for their own
self-respect and protection and to also to
take fall out of the sugar trust and
protect their own interests by telling
their representatives what they think of

Congressman Fordney has been taking
public buildings in reference to the
favorable reporting out of his bill for a
public building at Owosso. Mr.. Fordney
has been making a good fight for the
bill and although he told a number of
prominent citizens during his holiday
visit to this city that he had begun to
fear that there was no chance for it, he
gamily kept up the fight. A letter re-
ceived from him this week says that
there is no longer the slightest hope for
getting the building. The difficulties in
the way of getting public building for
a city no larger than Owosso may be
guessed at when it is said there are at
the present time large number of cities
in the country asking for such buildings,
whose population runs all the way from
twenty-five to over one hundred thous-
and Mr.. Fordney adds II would like
to write more encouragingly on this
subject but am giving you the true
situation" The news is disappointing
to Owosso citizens who realize however
the difficulties under which the con-
gresham has been making his fight and
different turn in any respect their
interests would be promptly taken care
