The Press-American has added to its
equipment the latest aud most necessary
piece of machinery for the getting out
of daily paper Mergenthaler type
casting machine. 1t makes possible the
printing of the paper each day with
new, clean type and the work ordinari-
ly done by five compositors can be &C
complished with it, which permits the
holding of the columns open until the
very last hour for full reports of the
days doings at home and the use of tele-
graphic service for important news of
the world. The Geographic service,
which provides for the latest news in the
state and world by wire, has also been
arranged for, giving the papers sub
scribers the important news now fur
nished by Detroit dailies at 7 o'clock,
at their supper time and in a concise
and readable manner, the unnecessary
details being omitted. The paper will
thus supply much that now makes
necessary or desirable the taking of the
Detroit dailies. 1t is long step in ad-
vance and THE TIMES congratulates the
Press American on taking it.

The American Protective Tariff
League is making an earnest endeavor
to defeat the Philippine tariff bill in the
senate, basing it's opposition on the
following grounds:
lon the broad general ground that
it involves negation of the policy and
principle of equal and fair Protection to
all American labor and industry.
2.-That it directly Injuries the in
terests of American agriculture in that
it contemplates and paves the way for a
vast increase in the production of
articles native to the soil at a produc-
ton cost scarcely more than one-third
of the cost Of producing similar articles
in the United States, that would with
in very few years result in the practi-
cal determination of similar lines of
production in the United States We
may refer specifically to three articles
sugar, tobacco and rice. With many
millions of acres of low-priced lands
and with semi-savage and semi-servile
labor ranging from s 1-3 to Is cents a
day it goes without saying that the
production of the articles named would
be expanded to a degree sufficient to
completely supply the wants of Ameri-
can consumers and shut out American
producers from the American market
We deny the right of the semi savage
and semi.servile labor of the Philippine
Islands to compete with the highly paid
labor of the United States. Sound and
consistent Protectionism forbids it.

All Honor To Michigan.

The Bay City Times commends the
Michigan delegation in congress for its
position on the Philippine tariff bill.
1t says:
1T is far from pleasant duty for
for any congressman to vote against the
wishes of the President and his advisers,
but when duty directs him that way,
why should any Michigan newspapers
condemn him, or hold him up to public
ridicule2 1t is good deal of satisfac-
tion for us to read that the Michigan
delegation stood firmly in support of the
sugar industry Of this state. We feel
prouder of them for having done so,
even if they were outvoted. A man
who is so narrow that he has no opinion
of his own, who will allow his own
Judgment to be warped in order to
please someone else, is not the fit kind
of representative to have in congress.
Because majority voted for the Phil
ippine tariff bill is no proof that the bill
is right, or that the Michigan men who
voted against it were wrong All honor
to William Alden Smith, Samuel w.
Smith, Geo. A Loud, Young, Town
send, Fordney, Darragh, Gardner and
the others who voted as they believed to
be right instead of being whipped into
line like a flock OF sheep to do the will
of the majority. There is good deal
Of satisfaction to know that men of this
character represent the state of Michi-

Upon the completion of the Michigan
Central railroad tunnel under the De-
troit river the Grand Trunk railroad,
which will have the use of the Michi-
gan Central tunnel will divert its
through traffic from the Grand Trunk
tunnel under the st. Clair river at Port
Huron, Mich, to the new Michigan
Central tunnel to be built at Detroit.
Work will probably be begun this
spring on making a double track to the
Grand Trunk road between Detroit and
Durand, Mich, to accommodate the
through traffic that now follows the
route between Port Huron and Durand.
The st. Clair tunnel, having only q
single track, is considered to be unequal
to the growing demands made upon it,
and will have all it can do in accommo-
dating the local business and traffic des-
tined for points within easy reach of
Port Huron. The diverting of the main
line from Port Huron to Detroit will
add little distance to the Grand Trunk
route between Chicago and the east,
but it is considered that this will be
compensated for by the placing of a city
of Detroit's industrial Importance upon
the main line of the road. General
Manager G. M. Hayes of the Grand
Trunk several years ago made the pro-
position to the Michigan Central rail
road officials that the Grand Trunk
would pay half the expense of building
bridge over the Detroit river, Mr..
Hayes having at that time become con
WINGED that the Grand Trunk through
traffic should be diverted to Detroit
Finally when the Michigan Central an
its intention to build Detroit
river tunnel open TO all the railroads on
the basis OF q fair charge Tor pulling the
trains through it, the Grand Trunk
officials ciued themselves satisfied

1t should be kept in mind that the
provision for party enrolment on the
first Monday in April is not directly
connected with the question as to
whether or not the primary election
system shall be adopted in Michigan, or
as to the extent of the use of that sys-
tenn in making nominations. But all
voters who desire to vote for or against
the adoption of the primary system on
the second Tuesday of June must be
enrolled. Therefore all voters regard
less of party and without reference to
their views as to the final adoption of
the primary voting system, should have
their names enrolled as the law pro-
vides, on the first Monday in April.

It is reported from Lansing that

of tax homestead lands in Oscoda
county at sale that took place in the
state land commissioners Office on
Thursday of last week. Some tracts of
the land sold brought as much as ST. an
acre. The results Of this sale and other
recent similar sales prove the wisdom
of the auditor general and the state land
commissioner in continuing the policy
through which tax homestead lands can
be sold to the highest bidders. The
state is rapidly disposing of its delin-
quent tax lands at prices that have
placed many thousands of dollars in the
state treasury and all expense in con-
nection with recording and advertising
them is being rapidly diminished

Dissuaded by Justice White from
Attempt to SO to jail.

Narragansett Pier. r. l.. July 19.-After an in
terview with Justice White. of the United States
Supreme Court, this evening. Louis A. Gour-
dain, the former alleged lottery agent, who is
trying to be readmitted to the Joliet Ill. peni-
tentiary, from which he was recently released
by a pardon, decided that his effort to get his
petition filed with the Supreme Court of the
United States was useless. and he left Narragan-
sett Pier announcing his intention of returning
to New York by the Fall River boat tonight.
Gourdain requested Justice White to order the
clerk of the Supreme Court TO accept his petit
ton for readmission TO the penitentiary. but the
Justice informed him that the clerk was perfectly
right in refusing to receive the petition without
a special order of the court. Gourdain, after an
hours chat with the justice. expressed himself
as perfectly satisfied with the latter's explana-
tion of the obstacles in the way of the presenta-
ton of the petition
Justice White is understood to have suggested
TO Gourdain that should he desire further light
on the subject he might call on Justice McKen-
na who is a guest at a hotel here but CiOurdain
said he did not consider an interview with JUS
tiCe McKenna necessary he was fully con-
vinced from Justice Whites statement that the
petition could not be received by the clerk of
the court.
The interview between Justice White and his
visitor was a pleasant one. Justice White
formerly acquainted with Gourdains father, and
both came from La FOurche Parish. Louisiana.

commission, at the Century Club last evening
gave the following authoritative statement:
The bridge is supposed to be a memorial
bridge It will form very important feature
of the landscape. The commission, however.
does not think that the designs submitted fulfil
the requirements OF monumental and memo
rial bridge
If it had been simply a utitarian structure
for traffic, from the engineering standpoint the
designs would make a very successful structure.
But the commission does not think the designs
are handsome or beautiful enough.
AS to the alleged Importance of the erection
of the bridge in about three years certain
day. the commission considers it of much
greater Importance that the bridge, when erect
ed, shall be a beautiful structure. 1t is not for
the commission to suggest notifications or do
the work Of sculptors architects. The city
expects TO say yes no to whether or
not any work for the city is fitting. And 1t is
the opinion of the commission that the city
should wait until it gets something better than
this design and spend its money to better pur-
pose. The purposed bridge is to be erected at a
very prominent and beautiful place, and while
the design of the bridge submitted might be
admirable from an engineering point of view, it
would not be object of beauty, and is there
fore disapprOVed.

MILL WAGES INCREASED.
Maine and NesO Hampshire FollozC
Rest of Ne1C England.

Boston, July 19.-Practically all the large cot
ton mills in New England by August 1 will be
paying increased wages 10 their employees.
Notices announcing advances were posted to-
day in several mills in New Hampshire and
Maine where several thousand hands
ployed. The movement in the Northern mill
centres follows that recently made in Con-
necticut Rhode Island, Vermont and southern
Massachusetts.
Lowell is at present the only district in which
the wage situation remains unsettled In this
important centre the operatives have postponed
until Monday action on the offer of the Lowell
Manufacturers Association OF per cent in
crease in place Of the operatives request for 10
per cent advance.
In most instances to-day the advances were
voluntary, and came as a surprise to the opera
tives The Edwards Manufacturing Company,
Of Augusta, Me-, employing 1900 hands, and the
Cabot Cotton Mills. Of Brunswick, Me-, employ
ing about eight hundred persons, posted notices
announcing increases of per cent in the wage
scale thus following the lead of the Biddeford,
Lewiston and WaterVille mills which employ to-
gether nearly ten thousand hands. In New
Hampshire the Cocheoco mills, in Dover with
one thousand operatives, announced an advance
OF from 21z to ~ per cent, with an average OF D
per cent increase, and at the same time the tnree
thousand operatives Of the Jackson Mills. at
Nashua. were informed of a per cent increase.
AS the several mills of the Amoskeag Corpora
ton, at Manchester had previously granted vol
UNFAIRLY a 5 per cent increase, affecting more
than ten thousand employees, there now remain
only few of the smaller corporations which the
inward movement in wages has not taVoraoly
affected Another Manchester advance begun
to-day was that of the Stark mills, branch OF
ters in Baltimore. The increase in its wage
scale is z rer cent, beginning July 80.
