Mercer and Johnny Baldwin have not

Cause for Rejoicing.

81 Louis Globe-Democrat
The whole country rejoices in the escape
OF President Roosevelt from instantaneous
death in a desperately dangerous accident.
In SO violent a crash the president might
easily have been killed or terribly injured.
A less robust man might have suffered a
long time from shock or minor hurts. The
presidents courage under all circumstance
is well known and his high vitality is ex-
ceptional. 1t is sincerely hoped by AL the
people that he will take no needless risks.
His death in the frightful collision Of
Wednesday would have been a great blow,
a deplorable following of tragedy upon irag-
edy.

The accident will recall one somewhat
similar which occurred to President-elect
Franklin Pierce. On January 6, 1853, only
two months before his Inauguration, he was
travelling on the Boston & Maine railroad
from Andover to Lawrence, Mass. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Pierce and their son,
1S years old, when the car was thrown
from the tracks and dashed against the
rocks. The boy was killed instantly.

The hrst great fact which sticks out In

A CENSUS bulletin just issued

the states Of the Union ninth in
population, tenth in the total value
OF manufactures and twenty-fourth
in the value OF manufactures per
capita. In 1890 the total value of
the products of the factories in
Michigan was 1877, 896,7O and in
1900 it was 1856, 944, 0S2. This is an
encouraging increase, but while
Michigan has been increasing 30 per
cent, Wisconsin and Indiana have
