FLEAs KEEPING THEM BUSY
State Employees in Michigan's Capital
Complain Of Guinea Pigs
In Building.

Lansing. Mich.-The state highway
department and the state dairy and
food department occupy quarters in
the state block on one of the principal
corners of Washington avenue. EN-
ployes of the highway department com,
plain that the food department has
caused the building to become infested
with f1eas, which are a source of great
annoyance
The food department keeps a num-
Der OF guinea pigs to which It feeds
suspicious articles of food to ascertain
whether they contain poison. II the
food Is poisonous the pigs die; II It is
healthy they grow fat.
The food departments pigs are fat.
Fat guinea pigs attract feas and hence
the complaint Of the highway EN-.
ployes. They assert that the aeas
climb the stairs and interrupt the
states business
When some Of the highway depart
ment clerks should be engaged In ex-
aiming specifications for q stone ROAD
or writing out speeches for the high
way commissioner they are to be 10, I'D
chasing the elusive flea. They re-
specially request that the guinea pigs
be abolished.

yICTORs AND sPOILs.

1t is evident to an outside observer
that the political fight in this state
Is just beginning SO far as the demo-
cratic party is concerned. The fact
that the party did not expect to elect
the governor kept the aspirants for
Office silent during the campaign, but
now that they have secured political
bag of gold which they did not even
seriously hope for, they are demand
ing places, and Go>ernor-elect Burke
is being pressed for recognition on
all sides.
That the democrats of the state do
not recognize the victory as hybrid
is evident from the following state
mcnt of the Bathgate Pink Paper
Senator Cashel is reported saying
that it was not democratic victory.
We cannot agree with him. We con-
slider it so great Il victory that demo-
crazy will be greatly strengthened
in this state
Tho Pink Paper is consistently
democratic. It fought for principle in
the recent campaign, and while it
accepted the assistance of these who
were willing to aid the party with
their votes. ii did not advocate the
sale of the party for the offices.
But now that the party has won. it,
like every other democrat, is deter
mined TO keep the administration of
affairs within party lines If 1t is pos

GARFIELD TO ENTER CABINET,

President Roosevelt has selected
James R. Garfield. son OF the late
President Garfield, to succeed Secre-
tary of the Interior Hitchcock, who is
to retire from that position next
March Mr.. Garfield, who is still a
young man, has achieved marked sue
cess as head of the bureau of cor
porauons, and his selection for
cabinet position will therefore be re-
garded in the light of a deserved pro-
motion.
At the time he was entrusted with
the responsible Office of commissioner
Of corporations it was understood that
political and personal friendship for
his lamented father had good deal
to do with his appointment, but even
If there was anything of this nature
young Mr. Garfield has displayed a
degree of ability and entire worthiness
that has fully INDICATED his selection,
and secured for himself a reputation
for being able to stand on his own
bottom. He has been Industrious and
persevering in his Investigations of
various corporations, and has materil-
ly aided the administration by secur-
ing authentic and reliable information
regarding the operations Of some of
the leading trusts which have appar-
entity evaded the laws.
On the whole Mr.. Garfield has sue
ceeded in making good" in his first
official position and the president has
evidently determined to reward him
by advancing him to a more respon-
sible position where he can still
further develop the qualities he has
already displayed. 1t is intimated, in
fact, that one of the things expected
of Mr.. Garfield when he assumes
charge Of the interior department will
be a thorough investigation Of the
workings of that department, and es-
pecially with regard to Indian affairs
and so-called land grabbing.
The experience Mr.. Garfield has al.
ready he'd In conducting Investigations
of the corporations SHOULD b. Of ma
teriai aid Is MIN in carrying GU. this
further line of investigation, and it
is not improbable he may yet become
quite prominent figure in national
politics. Certainly he Is being given
an opportunity such as is rarely af-
forded to young man with practical
ly no previous experience in public
affairs, and ii he continues to work
in the same earnest, Industrious and
honest manner that he has in the past,
it may safely be predicted he has a
bright future before him.

college will be compelled to walk the
plank. 1t has been limited that the
agitation of this matter by the Eve.
ming Times and other republican
papers will prevent the removal Of
President Worst at least, but from
the present scramble for appointments
among the successful party. it is not
improbable that he will go the way
of all the others.
The Evening Times protested
against creating the opportunity for
these conditions. but now that the
people have chosen otherwise, it hopes
that every place which can be filled
by appointment from the democratic
governor will be given to his political
friends. The party won in a square
fight and the victory carries with it
the right to all emoluments.

PROSPECTIVE MANUFACTURERS.

Inc discussions AT the annual
dinner of the Commercial club indicat-
ed that the business men and property
owners of the city are giving some
consideration to the future industrial
conditions OF the city. Among the
topics discussed Mr. Mcdonald prob
ably handled the most important one
so far as the ultimate destiny of the
city is concerned.
He suggested the establishment of
Industries in the city and indicated
a number of lines which could be
developed with profit to the investors
and which would add materially to
the prosperity of the city.
He hit the key note Of all such matters
when he said that, 1t was necessary
to consider the market for the finish
ed product when considering the
selection of an enterprise Another
thing to consider is the proximity
of the raw material. These two things
made available, and the success of
any manufacture is assured.
That number of enterprises can be
secured for the city which have these
two advantages is evident from a sur
vey of the conditions Mr.. Mcdonald
pointed out several of them. There
are many outside me list which he
gave. Every bushel of grain grown
in the state, and in fact in the north
west. should be converted into finish
ed products in this city. Not only
should the flour be manufactured here
but all the derivative products as
we'll
Bread will always find market.
and in that particular the manu.
fac:E:e Of these things fully meets
the condition laid down by Mr.. Nc
Donald. 1T also meets the other con-
dition of being near the raw material.
There is still another condition how
ever which must be solved by the
manufacturing towns. That is the
matter Of power. This must be cheap
and effective. The utilization of water
power has made some of the manu.
featuring cities Of the east. especially
of'tNew England, This we have at
Grand Forks if only scientific regula-
ton and control OF the same were
had. The matter, OF freezing has been
overcome in tho latitude of Mas
Aachusetts and even In Maine where
it is as much an obstacle as 1t Is
here. The utilization of the power of
the Rea'1.ake river at the falls below
che lake would generate sufficient
power for all the industries this city
would ever need, and the transmits
sion of the power in the form of cleo
tricity practically places the power
in the city as cheap as equivalent
power can be procured in any other
city of the country
Under these conditions it does not
seem far away idea of having a
number of factories and mills in this
city manufacturing the products of the
farms into foods for the tables of the
world. We have the raw material and
We have the ability to convert that
raw material into the finished product
The market is ready for the taking
and the profits are already assured.

1t is evident that the property own
ers Of the city are awake on the
paving question. They do not seem to
be disposed to let matter which
means several hundred dollars to
every one of them go by without d
thorough investigation of the merits
and costs of the several materials.

The development of the truck farm
ing idea in this section will bring with
it correlative industry which II
properly handled will become as i'm
portant as the truck farming itself.
This is the canning Of the products of
these farms. If the plan Is developed
to any great extent 1t will be impos-
sible to find market for the products
in the raw state. especially ii the ma
jority of the people remain in some
way connected with tho agricultural
industries and are therefore producers
rather than consumers Moreover. it
is impossible to ship to the market In
the raw state the perishable products
of the market gardens and the
only way they can be handled is
as canned goods. The growing of the
products will in q short time make
imperative the demand for the means
OF saving and marketing them.
The enormous growth of the west
during the last ten years has stopped
the foolish habit Of considering any
man who could carry the state of
New York as candidate for governor
an inevitable candidate for the presi-
dency The truth is that the nation
has become greater than the state of
New York, and the man who is sue
cessful must be representative Of the
people of every section and state
rather than Of one state whose
political power is derived from the
congested condition of its population.
What of this? Have the victors al
ready begun to fight over the divisions
of the spoils of war? 1t would seem
so from the following from the Eve
ming Press, one of the democratic
dailies of this city: Maybe it's the
man who will save John Burke from
his friends who is especially needed
now. Don't bear down too hard, boys.
Give the man chance to breathe. at
any rate"
