The sensational newspapers are trying
to make a war scare out of the German
difficulty with Venezuela, and with their
usual yellow methods try to make
a showing of danger of war between
Germany and the United States growing
out of the Venezuelan affair. The fact
is that there is the most complete I'M
Outstanding between Washington and
Berlin and there is no probability of
even straining the friendly relations be-
tween the two countries.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1902-01-03

THE Michigan Central, for the forcible
surrender of its special charter through
action of the legislature, expects damages
of several million dollars from the state.
While it is probably true that the road
will receive some damages, The True
Northerner believes that, in the long run,
the reduction of fares to two cents per
mile under the general law of the state
will result in an actual benefit to the
road and an increase in its passenger
earnings. At any rate, the people can
better afford to pay very substantial
damages than to have permitted the road
to continue to enjoy the privileges of its
ancient special charter

Edif0ri0I Comment.

The article written by a Republican.
and published in The True Northerner
last week, advocating the calling of
special session of the legislature for the
purpose of enacting primary election
law, has attracted great deal of atten-
ton and is the subject of considerable
discussion among those who take an
interest in public affairs. We feel that
it is our duty to add our opinion to the
discussion. We believe that primary
election law, not only for Wayne county
and other counties in which cities are
located, but for the entire state, is a
desirable thing. Under the present sys-
tenn, our caucuses and conventions are
much more subject to corruption and
unfairness than are the elections. The
matter of party nominations is of public
importance and interest and should be
more completely under the control and
direction of law. On the other hand,
there is no more crying need for such
legislation to-day than there has been
for years past. Special sessions of the
legislature are expensive, and we do not
believe the urgency of the need is suiiici-
ent to warrant such a session. Within
the past few years, we have had alto
gether too many special sessions In
Michigan. Let the matter be thoroughly
talked over the state until the next
regular session of the Legislature, so that
sentiment may crystalline and satisfac-
tory statute be framed and enacted at
that time. The True Northerner believes
that Governor Bliss is right in his de
termination not to call a special session,
and we hope he will stick to it in spite OF
any pressure to the contrary that may
be brought to bear upon him.
