The Republican state convention
was held In the Light Guard Armory,
Detroit, on Tuesday to nominate state
officers and transact the usual conven-
ton business. There was no inhar-
mony, no objections to any candidates,
no scrambles for place and all was
done In harmony and unanimity. The
preliminaries Of the night before
showed that there would be nothing to
delay the proceedings and there was
not. The convention was called to or
der by Chairman Diekema and prayer
was offered by Rev. Mac. H. Wallace.
The delegates were welcomed by
Mayor Codd. Representative Fordney,
of Saginaw, was chosen temporary
chairman, and made lengthy ad-
dress. Committees we're appointed and
q recess taken till 80 D. m.
At the afternoon session speeches
were made by Governor Warner, p. H.
Kelley, candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor; Senator Burrows and others. The
governors address embraced these
points:
AS a summary of two years OF close
observation, he expressed the convic-
ton that there never was a time when
interestedly the conduct of public af-
fairs and when officials generally were
more responsive to public sentiment,
In an inventory Of the accomplish
ments of his administration, he frank
ly admitted that some of the 1,020 acts
of the legislature to which he had
given his assent had proven disap-
pointment. One of these was the law
making changes of venue mandatory.
Another was the law limiting to de.
pendent relatives the right of action
against those responsible for death or
injury caused by carelessness or ne
glect.
Another was the Galbraith law per-
hitting manipulation under the guise
of "equalizing values" In fixing the
railroad rate. of taxation. Its passage,
however, had the advantage Of result
Ing in a judicial determination OF an
important question.
Divers grounds for Republican OPP
timism were outlined and satisfaction
with the primary law and he expressed
gratitude for the honor Of being the
first beneficiary under Its operation.
Correction of defects In that law were
recommended.
General Legislation for the more ef-
ficient regulation of corporations was
also recommended. President Roose-
welt was eulogized for his work in
this direction and Michigan's co-opera-
tion In further efforts Of. that charac-
ter was pledged.

THE STORY.

News Of a most alarming nature
had thrown the peaceful, quiet camp
into a condition bordering on panic.
For weeks now the Hebrew people had
been encamped at Rephidim, weeks of
physical refreshing and spiritual
growth. After the long journey across
the barren wastes Of the wilderness,
they had needed rest and God had
given 1t them.
And during those weeks of bodily
comfort and ease, as they gathered the
mama daily and sought the great
rock from whose riven side there
flowed the refreshing waters, they
thought of God, of his wonderful de-
liverances, of his unfailing care. Dur
ing those days which dealt SO kindly
and generously with them, the con-
seriousness grew upon them that the
God of Moses was their God, indeed,
and that they were his people. They
recalled how he had delivered them
from Egypt with a mighty and out
stretched arm; how he had fought for
them at the Red sea and had swal-
lowed up utterly Pharaoh and his
army.
How good 1t was to have such a
God; how easy was the way with
their God to fight for them. And
now with their old enemy destroyed
and the dangers Of the journey behind
them what more was there to fear?
Such was the spirit of confidence
and self-ease which pervaded the camp
of the Hebrews on that morning when
the note OF alarm was sounded, and
the cry raised that. a hostile foe was
lurking on the outskirts of the camp,
waiting favorable moment to strike
crushing blow and spoil them Of their
goods.
Not one, but several, while gather
ing the mama out beyond the camp
that morr ing had caught fleeting
glimpses of the armed men. Not sus-
pecting their hostile purpose. they had
sought to come up with them and
hold friendly converse, but SO fierce
had been the demonstration against
them that they had fed as for their
lives and had FASTENED into the camp
10 spread the alarm.
There can be no doubt that they
have come out to fight against u.s."
exclaimed one.
"Yea, and they are men Of fierce
visage," broke In another, the fear
which was clutching at his heart be-
ing reflected in his blanched face and
wildly glaring eyes.
"And each man has sword and
spear" added another.
1t can we'll be imagined what wild
CONSERVATION these reports created
among a people so defenseless and un-
used to war.
The confusion and panic In the
camp soon reached the ears Of Moses
and Aaron, and the elders Of the peo-
pie, and they hahtened forth, and hav-

Prosperity and OF Thor

Building Schools and Roads
Roy Mclean. who recently took a
position with the Hair Riddle Hard
ware Company and whose wife ar
rived from Portlnad last week, has
rented for this month the residence of
A. E. Voorhie les, while the latter and
his wife are in the East. Rev. Robert
Mclean is making his home with his
son, while in the city on his vacation
from his missionary work in Porto
Rico. Mrs. Mclean will arrive in
Grants Pass the first week in July
from New York where she stopped to
visit relatives and take medical treat
ment, the four years residence in the
tropics having seriously impaired
her health.
Owing to Mrs. Mclean not being
able to stand the irving climate of
Porto Rico Rev. Mclean will proba-
bly, give up his position as superin-
tendent Of Presbyterian missions in
that island. He expected to remain
here for at least three months as he
has not had a rest from his ardious
work for four years but urgent matters
have arisen that may require him at
once to return to San Juan, where are
his headquarters Though the Pres
byterian Mission Board desire that
he continue in charge of the Porto
Rico mission field yet he feels that
he must give up the work for his
family's sake. Rev. Mclean speaks
Spanish like a native and he has
gained position of marked influence
with the Porto Ricans and he re-
grets to give up his missionary work.
Of Porto Rico AMI conditions in
that island that is as large as the
Willamette Valley and has almost
double the population of Oregon
Rev. MLcean says that the people are
/ taking to American ideas and customs,
though rather slowly owing to preju-
dices aroused by disreputable Ameri-
cans who come to the island as gov
ernment officials and as Adventures
to exploit various schemes for getting
rich quickly. The Porto hicans are
learning that this class of persons are
not representatives Americans and
they are gradually changing their
affiliations from Spain to the United
States Many young people ara being
sent to American colleges to be edu.
Gated and a large number of Porto
Rico teachers are taking a course in
normal schools in the United States.
The Island is rapidly building up a
fine school system and school houses
are being erected by the hundred.
Both English and Spanish is taught in
the schools. A system OF macadam.
lied highways are being constructed
in the Island that far excel the So
called roads in most of the states OF
the Union. The agricultural re.
sources of the Island are heing rapidly
developed and the Porto Ricsns are
now more prosperous than at any
previous time in the history of the
Island. They are very much disap
pointed and chagrined that they are
not made citizens of the United
J States. Living under the American
flag and paying taxes they think they
: are entitled to citizenship especially
as all classes of foreigners, no matter
how ignorant may become a citizer
