Sunday Amusements.

An attempt was made i'm the house
TO repeal the existing law against
Sunday amusements, but Ii died with
neatness and dispatch as soon rs the
members understood the proposition.
The campaign against Sunday base
hall especially appears to be adj
vancing i'm the state and the general
trend of public opinion is against any
further liberalization in this direction.
The bill eXempting all credits from
taxation was on the house special or
der for last Wednesday, but its spon-
sors had the matter put over until to-
morrow. A stiff fight is on over this
bill. The demand for its enactment
comes from the northern portion or
the lower peninsula principally ana
from the upper peninsula, the south
ern portion Of the state being OPP
posed 10 it for the reason that IL
would remove vast amount OF cred
its from the tax rolls and thus in
crease the tax to he paid by the tarm-
ers and other owners of real estate.
The senate has put to sleep the Elch-
horn Joint resolution providing for the
submission to the people of PROPOSE
ton to amend the constitution SO as 10
provide an annual salary of 5000 in
stead Of the present per diem of -
for members of the legislature. The
people have already voted down a sim
liar proposition.

Makes Their Fate Dubious.

This condition Of affairs serves to
make dubious the fate of bills Great
ing new institutions. The only meas
ure of this character TO thus far find
approval in either house is that which
makes an appropriation of $4,000 for
state hospital for consumptives.
This institution has been advocated by
the state board Of health for several
years. This years State Medical So
ciety made an active canvass in its
behalf. In addition to the $4,000 APP
preparation the bill provides that the
state shall donate lands which have
reverted TO it for non-payment of
taxes as n site for the institution. The
selection Of this site is left to n board
to be appointed by the governor. Last
week committee representing the
state board of health went to White
Cloud, NewaygO county. to inspect the
institution which Or. Branch desires
the state to purchase for this purpose.
They found it was not suitable 10y rea-
son of defective sanitary appoint
ments. etc.

OfInterest to Publishers.

Under new law just approved by
Governor Warner. the newspapers OF
Michigan will have little better show
for their white alley when sued tor
libel. Some thrifty individuals about
whom an erroneous statement may be
sent out from news centers and be
generally used by the press have gone
up and down the country collecting
damages from newspapers. Under the
present law the defendant is not al
lowed to Introduce evidence to prove
that the plaintiff had already collected
large sums on this same account. The
new law permits such a showing to be
made
Another attempt will be made to
compel competing telephone companies
to exchange business. or, in other
words, to make connections with one
another. This regulation has been
sought at previous sessions, but with
out success.

Limits Rate ofInterest.

Detroit has had SO much trouble
with loan sharks who exact ruinous
rates of interest for loans on personal
property that Mayor Good has been
instrumental in having Representa-

Hon. William Fitzpatrick, of Owosso,

nomination for circuit judge, has been
a resident of this county for more than
a quarter of century and been in civil
and criminal cases during these years.
and we have yet to hear of any charges
of Indifference towards, or extortion in
his exactions from clients or people.
Indeed, we have yet to hear of any
practice affecting his integrity as a
lawyer, legislator, or representative
man in his party. A clean and manly
record is the Rooseveltian test for Office
and will not be amiss in local selections.
A man of mature years, of excellent
Judgment, and a successful lawyer. He
would be an ideal judge, one who would
