THINGS on the farm are changing, and
we already observe, If we watch the bar
ometer of social life, that there is tend
ency to go back to the country. The
question is receiving much attention 'Oi
late by the farmers clubs, and we note
with interest the question, ''Do not farm
ers make mistake i'll moving away from
the farm" which will be discussed at the
April meeting of the Arcadia Farmers
Club.
Fifteen years ago, for instance, less
than fifty per cent of the population were
moving countryward; Ill 1900 the stats
tics show that seventy per cent were seek
ing homes i'll rural districts, and II Is
likely that the proportion now going
away from towns and cities reaches
se~enty-fve per cent
Yes, they do make mis- AXE i'll leaving
the farm, and they soon discover that
all is vanity" in the city; that friend
ships are difficult, and the struggle to
live is at the desperate stage all the time.
Inc telephone, Tree ulali delivery anu
many other things are mitigating the I'M
social and isolated side OF rural life, and
the beauties of nature are doing the rest.
Intelligent men and women who value
the physical, moral and spiritual health
of their families stick to the homes where
acres abound. The movement IS an all
FOUND good one and makes new era in
rural life and change of inestiinable
value to those who have courage enough
TO pull up stakes and leave the town. II
is one of the most encouraging signs OF
the times, and is a stimulus TO the prac
teal farmer who is wise enough to be
contented with the free, healthy life of
the farm.

ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING.

The legislature has changed the date OF
ofannual school meeting from the first
Monday i'll September to the second Mon
day i'll July. This change especially
applies to rural school districts and vii
lagos: the cities have been holding their
annual meetings in July for years.
The attendance at the annual school
meeting i'll September has not been
especially large in most districts, and one
can easily imagine the number of farmers
who will turn ont TO school meeting
held in the midst of haying and harvest
the first week in July. The primary
schools of Michigan have managed to get
along very we'll under the old arrange
ment and good reasons for this change
are not very apparent; there was no cry
ing need" visible for a change If our
Legislators were especially pushed fIr
time in their work we hardly think their
constituents would have complained very
loudly If this matter had been pigeon
holed till the next session; or for several
sessions.
Like New Years, Christmas, Fourth Of
July and Thanksgiving, annual school
meeting has long been one OF the land
marks of the year, and many peGpie will
regret to see il changed.

PRESENT indications are that PRIMARY
election bill will be agreed TO 10y hOtl
branches of our state legislature provid-
ing not only that local and district momi
nations shall be made by direct vote in
cities, counties and districts where the peo-
pie so desire, but that the nomination OF
governor and lieutenant governor by
direct vote will be included in the option
to be submitted to the people Of the entire
state, through their respective political
parties, at an election for that purpose
alone to be held on the second Tuesday
in June, 1906. Some further changes
may be made in the details of the bill
which passed the lower house last week
but that it will retain the option of nomi-
mating some state officers is altogether
probable The final submission of the
entire matter to a vote of the people will
give interest and purpose to the full dis

which the intervening time will permit

THE failure of the Stewart bank at
Owosso, which Unexpectedly occurred a
few days ago. calls renewed attention to
the need in Michigan for the requirement
that all private banks should be subject
to state supervision. 1t is more than
probable that the situation which caused
the failure of the Stewart bank, by over
loaning to a manufacturing institution in
which the banker was interested would
not have occurred if the bank had been
subject to state inspection. In any event
the books of all banks should be open TO
scrutiny in behalf of their dispositors and
the state banking department exists in
great part for that especial service

Lansing, Mich. April Ex-senator
Martindales substitute for his bill.
providing for the inspection and reg
ulation Of foundries, met a dismal
death in the senate Tuesday afternoon
through one Of the cleverest parlia-
mentary tricks of the present legisla-
ture and after one OF the most bit
ter contested battles OF the session
Senator Baird is responsible for the
burial of the measure, which IS now
beyond resurrection.
Baird Wanted to Amend Bill.
The death knell of the substitute
was sounded during its consideration
By the committee of the whole when
Senator Baird moved TO amend the
bill by striking out TIE words author
izing the factory inspector, at his dis
erection, to order proprietor to make
alterations in his plants.
Then Senator Fyfe took up the fight
against the amendment and pointed
out that it was Baird's intention TO
place the wording Ct the bill SO that
IL would vest the authority to carry
out its provisions with nobody Bairds
amendment was lost.
The next attack on the measure
came from Senator Smith, who moved
20 strike out all after the enacting
clause. Senator Smiths motion precip-

motion by vote of 10 10 -, and also

mittee OF the whole
Takes UP Fight Again.
After the committee arose Senator
Smith again took up the fight against
the measure. He opposed concurrence
in the action Of the committee of the
whole upon which rested the fate OF
the bill. After little dilly-dallying
1t was discovered that some OF the
senators had dropped out 20 escape
going on record.
Senator Fyfe moved the call OF the
house and II was found that Senators
Sheldon, Dohe-ty and Mills were alb |
sent. The first two were pledged to I
vote for the bill. Senator Baird made .
an unsuccessful attempt to have SEN
ator Doherty excused Senator Brown
with motion to excuse Sen
ator Sheldon.
Before voice could be raised Lieut..
Gov. Maitland declared the motions
,arried. Senator Fyfe Appealed from
he decision and the senate sustained
Maitland. Senator Mills was excused
