THIS Is PLEASANT.
Annual Report of state Labor Com
missioner Very satisfactory.

Annual Report of state Labor Com
missioner Very satisfactory.
There are several reasons why
Michigan should feel gratified over
the factory statistics contained in the
annual reports of the state labor COM
missioner which has just been issued
from the binders. During the year
1901 a total of SOP factories were in
spected, eighty-one more than in 1900.
Only l5l idle factories were found as
against 322 in the previous year, and
the majority of these were abandoned
sawmills. The increase in the num-
Der of employees during the twelve
months between inspection was 30,
which speaks we'll for the expansion
of Michigan industries. One OF the
most pleasing features of the report
is the advance in wages recorded. AS
compared with 1900, wages in 1901 had
increased an average of l9cents day
per man. Last year there was Il5
more factories employing female la
Dor than during the previous year,
and 2,gl0 more female factories work
ers were employed throughout the
state. The average number Of fee
males employed per factory was, how
ever. less than in 1900. There was
also small decrease in the number
OF children employed per factory
These statistics on their face show
a promising betterment OF industrial
conditions in Michigan. Factories
are growing in number, the ranks of
the workers are increasing and wages
are mounting upward.

Mrhe uhristian,s Son

The story of "rhe Christisn's Son"
has been pronounced by some of the
best critics as the finest novel of the

as it is more human. Some writer has
said that it Is through "weakness we
gain strength we might carry the tru-
ism farther and say by its results we
are taught to acquire moral force or at
least the power of direction of the
moral forces. So with "The Christians
Son" 1t is story intensely human It
relates great tale of human love and
sacrifice. 1t is full of human sympathy,
weakness and strength which yiyidiy
, portrayed form the base of a series Of
incidents of such various natures that
the attention is kept riveted throughout.

for rich and poor and is q Performance

Democratic County Nominees.

Our county offices should be held for
the benefit of the public and not for the
benefit of any particular person, or any
political party. They are in no sense
political, but are purely business offices
and should be so considered. In counties
where nomination is. and has been for
years, equivalent to an election, quail
ticstion is not apt to be considered
The shrewd wire puller, who seeks the
nomination, is usually the one who
secures 1t. The reverse is true of the
nominees Of the minority party. The
nomination Is sought by no one, and the
candidates., a. rule, are selected be
cause Of fitness for the office. And yet,
year after year, blinded by psrtisanship
men of good Judgment will wholly dlsre-
gard their judgment and 60 to the polls
and vote for the inefficient office seek
or, for no other reason than that he is
the regular nominee of the party with
which they affiliate.
Now, Mr.. Voter, If you were owner OF
large business plant, and could moi
give 1t your personal attention, would
you select men to manage 1t, basine
your choice upon their acting with the
same political party that you do? 70,
know that you would not. You would
not inquire their politics, but would EN-
ploy men that you were REASONABLE,
certain would best serve your interests

1t is good sign of the times that
