people that you are still doing business
at the old stand, and expect to remain.
Stand by the business interests of the

He was active in all township business

He was the youngest of a family of ten

raw material in the United States than
abroad. With the increase of other in
dustries in Cuba, the cane sugar indus
try with its low state of civilization will
slowly vanish. In the same ratio will
the American beet sugar industry forge
to the front, and the refining industry
will give way to the domestic sugar in
dustry.
No matter how much the sugar trust
may still oppose this evolution, it is
powerless to prevent it. Against eco
nomic forces even the trust is helpless.
1t is like putty in the hands of the great
laws that will inexorably make the peo-
pie of the United States independent of
the rest of the world, not only in the
matter of sugar consumption, but of all
necessities of life.

SMITH HAS a RIVAL
Congressman Fordneyl Seeks Same
Position.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. 23.-This
was busy day for Congressman Will
lam Alden Smith. In addition to the
aspirations of the fifth district congress
man to become senator of the United
States, he is also ambitious to occupy
position on the committee of ways
and means, and his energies this morn
ing were divided in booming his double
header. At the call of Mr.. Smith as
chairman of the Michigan congressional
delegation, ten congressman met here
today to discuss committee mem
berships and such other matters as
might be brought before the meeting.
Congressman Fordney, of the eighth
district. and Darragh of the eleventh,
were absent.
1t developed as the members arrived
that William Alden had strong op-
ponent for membership on the ways
and means committee in Joseph w.
Fordney, and it was evident early in
the day that no member would be in.
dOrsed by the delegation. The friends
of Fordney argued that it would be
unfair to the absent member to take
such action now. This was done at the
request of Smith after he had informed
the delegation that he was anxious to
secure its Endorsement and after Con-
gresham Hamilton had said that he
would be willing to accept the indorse-
ment of the delegation himself in case
it could not unite on either Congress-
man Smith or Fordney. Detroit Free

LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE.
What Rev, Hicks Says About Next
Years Weather.

Not content with predicting weather
month by month in advance, Rev. Irl
Hicks now comes forward with little
dissertation on the subject of next years
weather in which he says:
From time to time it is our custom
to carefully sum up the causes and give
our readers our conclusions, in a gener-
al way, concerning the seasonal out
look for the coming year. Hundreds of
importunate letters are being received
from farmers and leading commercial
men, asking our opinion concerning the
rainfall in the spring and summer of
1904. This information is the most
earnestly sought thus early in order to
determine whether they will seed
heavily this fall. We say very frankly
that we expect another time of shortage
in rainfall over the western grain
regions, within the next two years.
The probabilities are that the crisis will
not be reached before the summer Of
1905. If we were in the farming bust
ness we would plan this fall for large
crops of wheat, and other products cal
culated to withstand dry weather in the
summer Of 1904. We would make a
careful inventory of our lands, setting
apart the fields on middle and uplands
for wheat--a crop more likely to develop
before hurtful drouth sets in, and re-
serving the bottom lands or fields better
suited for corn. We do not figure that
general disastrous drouth will come,
even in 1905, but we would advise care.
full planning for rain shortage, even in
1904"

The American Economist of Oct. 2,
will contain an extended article entitled
Cuban Reciprocity" by member of
congress. The article in question deals
in a very thorough and exhaustive man
ner with the question of the treaty max
ing power of congress, The contention,
vitality important if true, is that under
the constitution no power whatsoever
exists in the executive and the senate
jointly or separately to conclude a
treaty in any manner affecting our
revenue laws. 1t is shown by an extend
ed array of precedents that the Cuban
treaty could not be made valid, legal or
effective even if approved by the house
of representatives. Readers of THE

The eleven Republican congressman
from Michigan have total of thirty
terms or sixty years to their credit, OF
an aggregate but a little more than
the tenures of almost any two of the
oidtimers in congress. The average
for each member of the Michigan dele
cation counting from the ten years of
Messrs Smith and Bishop down to the
two years of the new members, is but
FIVE years each and this looks diminutive
indeed when compared with such records
rs those of Mr.. Ketcham of New York
who is just starting upon his thirty
second year in congress; Cannon of
Illinois, just beginning his thirtieth
year; and such veterans as Hit Gros-
venor, Bingham, Grow and Cummings.
When Michigan shall learn to keep
worthy men in congress until they be-
come as valuable as these veterans, she
will rival any of the older states with
her delegation, and the members them
selves can help to teach Michigan the
lesson by pulling together tremendously
and effectively-Grand Rapids Press.
