THE A. A. MAY GET IN.
Lack of Sidetracks Cause Delay i'm Build
ing Cold Storage Plant.

The contractors and builders of the
cold storage plant and wagon works
buildings are experiencing considerable
difficulty and delay on account Of the
failure of the Pere Marquette to con-
struct the sidetracks TO the sites, all ma.
terial now having to be transferred from
the cars to the grounds by wagon. There
has been ample time for the railroad
people to lay their tracks as the
survey was made before it was
possible for the contractors TO commence
any work at all, but as the p. NJ. is the
only one Of the two roads that can get
in from that side of the river, they seem
to think that as they have things their
own way and can build the track when.
ever they choose. 1t Is barely possible
however, that they may delay too long
as there il suggestion that the Ann
Arbor rebuild its old line between Alma
and st. Louis for the purpose OF enabl.
ing them to run spur into that city to
the chemical works aud sugar factory.
Should that be done the Ann Arbor
could very easily run sidetrack in
from the north side and get control Of
the business.

children and the taxes paid by the ne

tion of any race question. l had con-
faently hoped that this matter would not
be before you. We have just eliminated
by our Constitutional Amendment the
negro from any large participation in the
government of the State. 1t was my
fortune to be the candidate at the time
when it was adopted of that party which
supported the Amendment. In my speech.
CT acceptance l made to the convention
which unanimously nominated me for the

while universal suffrage is a failure,
universal justice is the perpetual decree
Of Almighty God. and we are entrusted
with power not for our good alone, but
for the negro as Well. We hold our title
to power by the tenure of service to God.
and if we fail to administer equal and
exact justice to the negro whom we de-
prive of suffrage, we shall in the full
ness of time lose power ourselves, for
we must know tina the God who is love
trusts no people with authority for the
purpose Of enabling them to do injustice
to the weak" The reception which this
statement met at the hands of that great
convention will ever be to me a pleasant
memory. This declaration with me was
not mere sentiment. 1t was the express
sion of deep conviction. In my Inaugural
address | substantially reiterated this
statement. I said to the last General AS
sembly. You will not have aught to fear
when you make ample provision for the
education Of the whole people. Rich and
poor alike are bound by promise and
necessity to approve your utmost efforts
in this direction. The platforms of ali
the parties declare in favor of a liberal
policy towards the education Of the mass
es." The platform on which / ran for
office contained this provision: I'VE
