Do not forget the county convention
which meets in Corunna week from
next Tuesday to elect delegates to the
state nominating convention. Shia-
wassee county should be represented by
good delegation, one which will do
credit to the county and which will be
able to WELD the greatest possible in
huence at the state convention for
Shiawassee's candidate for attorney
general, Frank H. Watson. While the
younger men of the party should be
recognized in making up the various
delegations pains should be taken to
see that the list also includes those with
wide acquaintance about the state
The matter of the choice of delegates
is an important one at this time both
from Mr. Watsons standpoint and for
the welfare of the party in other direc-
tions as we'll Look out for the caucuses,
where they have not already been held
and at all events remember the county
convention and send the strongest pos
sible delegation to the state convention
in Detroit.

Ex-President Kruger announces
that he will end his days in Holland
where he now is This is all very well
if all that Mr. Kruger cared for was
the mere form of government, the
governmental machinery, of the
transvaal 1t is all wrong if what he
really cared for was and is the people
who have made that land what it is.
1t was the latter for which he cared he
might better go back and help them
make their country better than it was
before. The decision to remain in
Holland is another confession of the
narrowness which in so large measure
was the cause for the bringing on of
the war.

1t is stated on the authority of the
consular reports that inquiries for
American made goods in Spain are on
the increase. There seems to be no war
prejudice against American made
goods and the reports point out that
with little more effort to accommodate
methods to the methods of the Spanish
buyers still larger quantities can be sold
in that country.

An enterprising MusKegon reporter
interviewed Colonel" A. B. Gardner,
proprietor of the Warwick hotel of Grand
Rapids, the other day, on the situation
in the Philippines and the water cure in
particular. He thought he had Col
Cornelius Gardener before him. The
Colonel said that he had just put in a
new bar room himself and had little
faith in the water cure.

Reports of the breaking down in health
of j. Pierpont Morgan were received
the first of the week from Venice and
almost as promptly denied. 1t is certain
ly to be hoped that it is the denial which
contains the truth. Whatever there is
that is detrimental to society, or to that
portion Of society represented by organ
lied labor, which can be traced to the
doors of any Of the immense concerns in
which Mr. Morgan is controlling
spirit, the advantages to society far out
weigh them. j. Pierpont Morgan is
one of the teachers of mankind, and
there is abundant reason for thinking
that he will vet show the American
people and the entire world how to do
still more astounding things in the
financial and business world if he is
spared his health for few years more.
If it governmental control of important
industries is ever to become fact the
more that can be learned from just such
men as j. Pierpont Morgan before such
control is entered upon the greater will
be the chances for success in the new
order of things.

One of the prominent state dailies has
evidently some qualms of conscience in
the matter of the grade of poetry which
it has been inflicting on its readers. In
an issue of the present week it felt
called upon to characterize poem by
Phebe Cary, which it published, as a
Poem Worth Reading" A black head
line to that effect was placed above the
poem. 1t must have been printing
poetry of such character that it no
longer expects its readers to even look
to see whether its poems are worth
reading" or not

After all there are lot or people
about the state who would feel more
than little grateful to Col. Eli R.
Sutton acquitted of completely in the
military scandal at his trial about a
year ago, if he would resign as regent
of the university. Perhaps he was
innocent then, and perhaps he is now
innocent of the charge of perjury
which has been preferred against him
for his conduct during the trial of last
year, but the excuse that he needs all of
his time to prepare his defence from
that charge would be very acceptable
one, so far as the people and friends Of
the university are concerned, for his
resignation at this time The university
deserves whole lot better than to have
regent whose character has been as.
sailed in the manner that Col. Sutton's
has and if he really cares to serve the
university or the people whose uni
versity it is he can do so best by resign
ing. If afterwards he can prove him
self really worthy, as it is to be hoped
that he will, of the honorable position
which he has held as one of the guiding
officers of that great institution of
learning, he can be reelected to the
Office. A great deal of lenience has
been shown him already by President
Angel, by his associates on the board of
regents, and by the people of the state
at large. 1t is time that he reciprocate
and be willing to bear whatever odium
there is in his connection with the
scandals referred to and the charges
preferred against him alone instead of
longer playing the sympathy act and
screening himself even in the slightest
degree from popular displeasure by
hiding in the bosom of the official family
of the University of Michigan. 1t may
be hard thing, and may require con-
siderable courage to do, but Col Sutton
should resign.
Since the above was written con-
corning the much needed resignation of
Col. Eli R. Sutton, of Detroit, from the
board OF regents OF the University, that
gentleman has apparently seen fit to
settle the matter in q different way.
He apparently does not care to stay and
attempt to secure an acquittal from the
charge of perjury as he secured an acquit-
tai from the other charges about year
ago. AT all events he has been regard
ed as fugitive from justice since Mon
day when he was expected to appear be-
fore the court at Lansing. Since he
has apparently taken the trouble to
remove himself from the state perhaps
Governor Bliss can see his way clear
toward doing the state and the Univer-
sity in particular favor in removing
him from the board Of regents. There
certainly should be some provision by
which the governor can do it and 1t is hard
to imagine any reason for his exercise of
any clemency in the matter if he has the
power to make the removal.

President Palma, of Cuba, signed the
amnesty bill on Monday which set free
two Americans who have become
known from one end of the country to
another from their connection with the
postal frauds-Neely and Rathbone.
The latter was out on bail pending an
appeal in his case. The former was
spending the twenty -sixth month of his
eight years sentence in prison and was
freed. There are perhaps a dozen other
Americans who were convicted of some
offense or other. during the American
occupation who are freed by the act
which, as President Palma said was
another evidence Of the gratitude and
good will of the Cubans towards the
American people.

1t is said that the English are little
worried because there do not seem to be
as many American tourists coming over
to the coronation with good American
dollars in their pockets as they had
hoped for. Incidentally, now that the
war in South Africa is over, there are a
lot of sensible Americans with good
American dollars who are thinking
more seriously of sending the money to
that British dependency instead of going
in person with it to England Already
shrewd American business men are
planning for share in the South African
trade which has been badly demoralized
since the beginning of the war The
English speaking portion of South
Africa is however considered the fourth
best consumer in the world of Just such
goods as the American people have for
sale and it will not be surprising if a
few American dollars are spent in
developing trade there which in the
event Of the further continuance of the
war might have been spent for the
purpose of seeing King Ed.

why Two Beers Deprived Nurse OF
Her Horse and Returned 1t
safely to Her.

A curious incident befell an army
nursing sister while out riding alone
In the northern Transvaal, close to
small town which has been held for
The past year by the English, says the
London Hospital. Two men on horse
back, dressed in what seemed to her
the uniform of our scouts, rode by.
When they had gone little further,
they dismounted, and, taking their
rifles in their hands, came up, grasped
the reins of her horse, and asked her
il "she would like a walk" Surprised
at the question, she inquired to what
regiment they belonged. Their an
swer made her aware that, though
claiming to be British, they were really
Beers in disguise. The men spoke to
each other in Dutch, and then one
said to her: I'VE are Beers, and we
want your horse" The sister, greatly
distressed at the thought of losing the
animal, which was borrowed, begged
the men not to take it. They replied
that they were very short of horses,
and required it badly. Expostulations
proved unavailing; she had to give way
with as good grace as possible, made
easy to her by their extremely polite
manner and the gentle way in which
she was lifted from her saddle. They
left her with the promise that the sad
die and bride should be returned.
A few days after letter was brought
by q Boer to blockhouse to say that
il the English commandment would send
out beyond the British lines, the sis
ter's horse and property would be re-
stored. He did so, and everything
was found as stated, together with n
letter explaining that the two men
had been compelled to take the horse,
as they thought that the sister sus-
pected their nationality, and they
\ feared she would ride at once to the
nearest blockhouse and report their
whereabouts. They had, therefore, in or
der to secure their own safety, to choose
between taking her with them be.
yond the blockhouses or the confisca
ton Of her horse, and they chose the
latter as being probably less repug
nant to the sisters feelings. No doubt
the good treatment their own womer
have received at the hands of the Brit
ish authorities tends to account FOL
their friendly and courteous behavior
but the sister is none the less to b'
congratulated upon the result OF al
experience that might have been mos
unpleasant.

COCOANUTS FOR THIRST.
A Northern Mans Experience I'm 10.
Vincent Convinced Him OF
Their Value.

During his recent visit to the vol
cano stricken islands of the West In
dies Tribune reporter was told that
the water from the cocoanut fresh
from the tree is the best thirst quench-
err in the tropics. During an all day
ride over the dusty road from Kings
ton to Georgetown, st. Vincent, the re-
porter had chance to test the truth
Of this statement, says the New York
Tribune.
For various reasons IL was deemed
unwise to drink the ordinary water.
and when beyond the reach OF dis
titled water from the Dixie, thirst be-
came an interesting fellow traveller.
The heat was awful, and volcanic ashes
in the air parched the throat and made
life almost uncomfortable. Sucking green
lines was a failure, wine was too heat
ing, and soda and other soft drinks
only aggravated thirst. Eight miles
out of Georgetown a stop was made
ut small plantation, where several
trees bore heavy burden Of yellow
ing cocoanuts. Sixpence sent black
boy to the top of a tree, and after he
had scared q miscellaneous collection
Of lizards, chameleons, scorpions and
spiders out of the bunch of nuts, he
twisted off six and threw them down.
Our driver chopped of the end of each
nut with . machete and we squeezed
the juice Of q green lime into the wa
ter within. The drink was warm, but
palatable and satisfying.
The party had gone without lunch
con, and after drinking the water the
nut was laid open with a blow OF the
machete and the meat was eaten, which
was like the white Of soft-boiled egg.
| The members of the party were
neither hungry nor thirsty for the re-
mainder of the journey. and felt con-
tent--a difficult matter for New
! Yorker. 500 miles south of the Tropio
| of Cancer. at the end of May.

The United States probably has
more wealth in public parks than
any other country in the world. Last
year, in cities of more than $4,000
population, there were 1880 parks
and squares, with total area of
59,7i7 acres and valued at $531,571,-
s47. Nearly siO,oOO.oOo was spent
upon these parks for improvements
and maintenance.
