Bad Axe, Mich, Sept 25.-During
the last day of the Huron county fair,
which was held here last week some
inquisitive farmer slashed the canvas
surrounding the serpents in the "bis

largest to escape. One was caught
on the grounds later and Killed, but

rattlesnake, are still at large-vith n

GRANT SPEAKS OUT
Denounces Manner In Which jackson
Prison Is Conducted.
LikENs 1T TO sAN!ThRIUM
Make II Place Criminals Will Dread,
Demands Supreme Court Justice
Upbraids Public For It's E,sregard
of Law.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 25.-Before ths
business mems class OF Martin
Holmes Memorial NJ Z. church, Judge
G. b. Grant of the state supreme
court during the delivering of short
address made a number of statements
which, considering their source, are
of more than passing interest to the
citizens of this state.
"One of the greatest needs of this
state and all the. states in the Union
today is a better enforcement of the
| law" said Judge Grant One of the
great dangers to the republic, in my
opinion. is lawlessness and disregard
of law.
Enforce the criminal laws of the
state rigidly, swiftly and impaI tally,
l refer particularly to the laws agains,
gambling, houses of prostitution ana
regulation of the liquor traffic. Drink
| ing, gambling and. prostitution are the
principal sources of crime Of ali sorts
of poverty, Of divorce, os imbecility
and insanity.
Prison a Santarium.
Cease to make your state prison az
Jackson a sanitarium and a pleasure
resort" he demanded. Make it as r.
should be, a place criminals VIII
dread. 1t should not be place where
criminals are better clothed, better
housed and have more of the comforts
and Injuries of life than has the aver
age laboring man.
Criminals have no real dead Of
being confined in the prison at Jack.
son. They have easy times. contrary
to the law which requires a sentence
to hard labor at Jackson.
Criminals dread to be sent to thu
prison in the upper peninsula. Mr..
Russell does not pretend to make that
a reformatory, a sanitarium or pleas
ure resort. He is humane. but the
strap is applied when occasion calls
for it.
Bar the Public.
"The prison should not be open to
the public. When the prison gates
close behind a criminal he should be
dead to the world till the gates open
again for his release. The prisons
and jails should not be made a place
for the exhibition of heroes or mon
sters, as in the case OF the Meyer MUIR
derers.
"The work of law enfol cement
should be begun early. Most Grim
inals begin their careers on the streets
in the cities and villages. They often
come from good families. A walk
along the streets from to II O'CLOCK
in the evening will give a practical
demonstration Of one Of the 81 eatest
schools of crime.
Three years ago in Lansing three
boys. one a clergyman's son were az
rested for burglary. They said they
began their criminal career by playing
the slot machines. 1t is the fist les
son in gambling"
Quotes Lincoln.
Judge Grant concluded with the
quotation from Abraham Lincoln:
LET reverence Of law be taught in
schools and colleges, be written in
primers and spelling books, be pub
lished from pulpits and proclaimed ia
legislative houses and enforced in the
courts OF justice-in short, let it BE-
come the religion Of the naticn."
"Such teaching and preaching" said
Judge Grant, will accomplish more
for the stability Of this country AMI
It's institutions than the preaching of
creeds and the methods of salvation
of ones soul"

WHEN THE EDITORS
JOURNEYED TO ESOPUS
An Incident of the Late Campaign Recalled With
Humor One Chapter in the Story of a Strenu-
Gus Summer at Democratic Headquarters.

Astoria, and the management of the
hotel was kept busy for days cutting
down the number of plates, as Mr..
Daniels found that democratic editors
who were willing to come to New
York, all expenses paid, on the road,
while in the city and on the return
journey, were much scarcer than he
had imagined.
Did they come 1000 strong? They
did not, and, with few exceptions,
those who did come were not strong,
as editors, and were bit fat-chested
as men.
Before the day of the banquet it was
rumored that the Oncoming host might
not number more than 500. When it
had staaggled into town, had been cor
allied, currycombed and watered-no,
not watered-it mustered about 100.
The Conference of Editors Fiasco.
Generally speaking, the visiting ed
itors were Bryanites, and not few
had less tact than appetite. They ex-
pected to have Judge Parker for fell
low guest at the banquet, but were dis
appointed. At that stage of the cam
paign Judge Parker was strong on
reticence.
The banquet was eaten. There were
many speeches. On the day that fol-
lowed the banquet as many of the Wis
ting editors as were able to find and
catch the train went to Esopus. They
were piloted thither by Josephus Dan
iels, whose Panama hat had begun to
show signs of wear and tear.
The moulders of public opinion were
presented to Judge Parker, who made
one of those seven by nine addresses
which he is accustomed to reel off and
read at the shortest notice. He said
complimentary things to the ''gent1e-
men of the press, >" but the latter were
lacking in the enthusiasm with which
they had bubbled on the previous
evening.
The good things that it was expect
ed by Josephus Daniels would come
to pass did not do so. The visitors
upon reaching their homes did not see
them alight, and the reports which
they printed of the great editorial con-
ference did not blister the enemy.
The editorial conference cost the
democratic national committee several
thousand dollars more than it was
worth. The editorial conference was
a source of irritation at democratic
national headquarters until Clifford
Smyth burst into bloom.

10000 MILES OF BLACK HAIR.

Empress of China Has Ordered Sub
jects to Cut Off Pig Tails.
Our man milliners and others that
make the mode are talking brunettes
again and fair girls will be relegated
to the background in the future, that is,
as soon as the food of cutoff Chinese
pigtails arrive. 1t will be remember
ed that the empress of China sternly
commanded, and pleasantly cOerced
her hundred millions of subjects to
cut off their pigtails, stating that the
| HSOn of Heaven himself had con-
sented to do so. The Son of Heaven
is China's emperor, whom the Com
Jesse d'Alemcourt once called "a little
yellow fakir." OF course, when the
little yellow fakir cuts off his pigtail
every Chinaman who respects himself
follows suit and so we will have II, 600
miles or so of black braids in the near
future, for, of course, there is no
market for this commodity in China.
Twelve thousand miles of tresses OF
one color is the greatest lot of hair
ever offered to the women of the civil
lied world, and though they use more
of it now than formerly, because SO
many ladies swing the curling irons
for crimping, waving, ETC., 1900
miles is an awful lot just the same.
While the hair market has been Sc
riously affected by the information
red-haired girls express delight.
''When everyone wears black because
of the cheapness of the thing we will
be the more in demand" they say.

Cotton farmers are having brought
home to them the fact that when the
cotton crop is large one the price is
pretty certain to be low, and Mr..
Stevens, commissioner of agriculture
of this state, in an interview in the
Morning News, said that if they will
plant only half the acreage they plant
ed this year they will get II to 10
cents per pound for their cotton.
There is not much doubt of the truth
of the statement. Last years crop
was a rather short one, and at one
time the price went as high as II cents.
But if the farmers should plant for
a little more than half crop the
European spinners would set to work
at once to develop new cotton fields,
lust as they did last year. The cotton
associations in England, France and
Germany all began experimenting in
the growing of cotton in Africa and

BETWEEN DEVIL AND DEEP BLUE SEA


other parts of the world where cotton
isn't now produced as regular crop.
The reports from these experiments
have, in some instances, been promis-
ing. But it is probable that all of
these experiments would be abandoned
if cotton could be obtained in this
country for about s cents pound,
that is if it could be obtained at that
price at the farms.
The cotton farmer seems to be be-
tween the devil and the deep blue sea.
If he grows big crop of cotton he
gets practically nothing for it-thatis,
after the cost of production is paid
there is nothing left for him. On the
other hand, if he grows small crop
he is threatened with the opening of
cotton fields in countries where land
and labor are so cheap that he would
have to produce cotton for almost
nothing eventually or abandon the
planting of cotton altogether.

The New York Sun prints tive-col-
umn article on alleged ''inside facts"
about the democratic campaign. The
story of the strenuous summer in the
Century building on West Thirty
fourth street is told with humOr, if not
with accuracy. 1t claims to have been
put up by some man on the inside.
From the time the committee rented
the basement and two flats in Mr.. Bel
mont's new building to the night in
November when the lights went out
early and the champagne supper was
untasted running account is given
of Tom Taggart's doings.
The visit of Josephus Daniels OF
Raleigh, the editor of the democratic
paper at the state capital and the
national executive committeeman, is
given with some humOr. One thousand
editors were to go to Esopus and see
! Judge Parker. There was to be a ban
quet at the Waldorf. The conference
finally dwindled down to one hundred
and then Daniels piloted them up the
Hudson. The editorial conference
according to the Suns story, an eX
tract from which follows, cost the
democratic national committee severa
thousand dollars:

The fact that there are not a thou
sand democratic editors in the country
gave an air of much plausibility tc
the scheme in the opinion of the
national committee. Mr.. Daniels was
instructed to go ahead and do his
worst, and he did.

Colonel Oxford's popularity is at
tested by the fact that he was nomi-
mated and elected to the sheriff's office
without opposition, something that
perhaps never occurred before in the
history of Terrell county when the
candidate was making his first race.
Sheriff Oxford is in the vigor Of
young manhood, strong physically
and mentally, kind and courteous,
and has every qualification for max
ing an efficient and popular officer.

Sheriff Oxford will continue Deputy
Sheriff j. H. Slade in his present

ed him. Deputy Slade has held this
position for twelve years, and the

ceived with general satisfaction. He

Following the Introduction of the
resolutions Messrs. J. G. Parks, NJ.
c. Edwards and NJ. J. Yeomans made
remarks upon them, and paid high
tribute to Sheriff Christie as com
petent, painstaking and courteous
official.
Sheriff Christie was taken greatly
by surprise, and though deeply touch
ed he responded in an earnest manner
and expressed profound appreciation
of this evidence of esteem and conf
dence.
Terrell county has never had more
popular official than Sheriff Christie
has been. Prompt in the discharge OF
his duties, however disagreeable they
may have been, careful of all of his
acts and courteous to those with whom
he came in contact, he retires with the
friendship and esteem of the whole
people.
He has been appointed state guano
inspector by Commissioner Stevens
and will devote his time and energies
to the duties of that position and his
large farming interests.
