After ten years or experience the
Var Department has decided that
the so-called dynamite guns which
at one time formed a picturesque
feature OF certain harbor defences
are obsolete ana is getting rid OF
them as quickly rs possible Guns
OF this type wers mounted at Sandy
Hook, Fishers Island. San Fran
cisco, and at one or two other
places. All OF thorn have since been
sold and removed except the three
big 15-inch pneumatic guns at the
Preside of San Francisco, and
these, too. will bo sold In short
time to the highest bider. Their re-
moval will mark the passing OF these
guns, which at the time OF their In
stallation were expected to revolu-
tionize modern warfsre.-New York

THE statement made by a Lansing
newspaper correspondent, that Governor
Warmers course in connection with his
controversy with the railroads of Michi-
gan to secure change in the annoying
and inconvenient requirements of their
new mileage books was being noted with
interest there, is equally true of many
other sections of the state. 1t has not
needed this incident to prove there was
no truth in the statements made for cam
paign purposes last year that Governor
Warner would be dictated to and con-
trolled by railroad influences. Other
happenings have proven more clearly the
falsity of that charge. His official course
since the first day of last January testifies
to the fact that there is no executive of
amy State IN the union more free or more
willing to do exactly as he thinks will be
for the best good of all the people of his
state, regardless of any and all conflicting
interests, than is the present governor of
Michigan.

THE statement touching the increase
of state expenditures as compared with
the expenditures OH state account OF six
teen years ago, recently made through a
Detroit paper, would have been more
valuable as information to the people OF
Michigan had it further analysed the
sources and causes of the increase noted.
The items which show the largest ratio of
of the state and the insane asylums. The
amount provided in the state tax just
spread by the auditor general for the
University of Michigan is $4I6,S25. Six
teen years ago the university received
$o7,722 Sixteen years ago the Agricul-
tural College received from state taxes
<32 500. The taxes now called for by
the state provide a total of $237 900 for
the Agricultural College. If other state
expenditures had increased in proportion
to the increase of these two institutions
our present state taxes would be many
times greater than they are. And yet the
Detroit newspaper that paraded the in
crease and suggested extravaganza has
persistently denounced every legislature
and every newspaper as narrow-minded
and an enemy to education that dared to
suggest that any limit should be made to
the expense of the university on state
account. The Agricultural College, too,
has been supposed to be an especial
object of care on the part of the farmers
of Michigan. Baskets of letters are
received by members of the state legisla-
lures in their biennial sessions, from
oranges and other organizations of farm
ers, and from the individual farmer him
self, urging liberality in appropriations
for the State Agricultural College.
Against these appropriations for the
university and the State Agricultural
College, and for the insane asylums of
the state, if in proportion to the results
obtained, no objection will come from
any source in Michigan. Fair and honest
discussion and presentation of state taxes
will return a verdict of commentator
for those in whose care and keeping the
financial affairs of Michigan are now
entrusted and the policies under which
they operate.

TIE report froih Lansing that the state
dairy and food commissioner, A. c. Bird,
has inst succeeded in Kidding the state
of large quantity of spurious vinegar,
stuff that had been doctored and COM
pounded to be sold in Michigan as pure
cider vinegar, suggests the practical
value of an alert administration of the
duties of Mr.. Birds office. In some past
years there has been question as to the
value of the dairy and food department
and as to its vigor in the enforcement of
state laws against some of the influential
makers of impure goods. But there has
been no suggestion of fault in that direc-
ton during the present administration,
and the evident increase of activity as
the officials of the department become
more conversant with the methods against
which they must contend gives promise
that commentator rather than criticism
will be the future deserving of the dairy
and food department.
