Killed the Bill.

The house on Wednesday killed the
bill drafted at Gov. Warmers sugges-
ton, to force the big telegraph and
telephone companies to pay their
share Of the taxes of the state, under
the guise of protecting the little cross
roads telephone systems from being
obliged to pay taxes, which would
force them into bankruptcy. The vote

Accused Of Criminal Libel.

San Jose, Cal.-Charles NJ. Short
ridge, ex-state senator, editor of the
Daily Times and former owner of the
Mercury, was arrested Thursday on
complaint Of Congressman f. A.
Hayes, on a charge of criminal libel
The action grew out of an assertion
by Shortridgc, in a public speech last
Wednesday, that he had information
that Hayes had burned his former
mansion at Edenvale for the insur-
ance, which statement. together with
another serious accusation, was pub
lished in Shortridge's paper.

Some Glaring Defects.

There are several glazing defects in
the bill, due to the prejudice that ex-
lists in some sections of the state, as
reflected by their senator's, as to how
far the primary system should be eX-
tended. Several senatorial districts
now operating under the primary sys-
tenn will be affected under the new
law.
tits provided that in senatorial dis
tricts where all the counties do not
operate under the primary, the prop
osition must be resubmitted by petit
ton. Under the last senatorial reap
portionment several primary counties
were joined to convention counties,
with the result that they will have to
petition to have the primary PROPOSE
ton submitted and in case the conven-
ton county polls the largest vote will
not get it.
The biggest change from the pres
ent law is the provision relating to
the election of delegates TO the coun-
ty convention which in turn elects del
egates to the state convention. 1t is
provided that only counties which
nominate county officers by the pri-
mary system shall elect delegates TO
the county convention by the primary
system. This will hit some thirty
five counties in the state.
Wayne Back to Caucuses.
1t will result in throwing Wayne
back to the caucus system to choose
delegates to the county convention,
for the reason that Wayne, Kent, Mus
kegon and Alpena counties are ex-
empted from the provisions of the bill.
and Wayne has no local act to cover
that point
Summed up, the bill aims to make
the primary system optional instead
of compulsory in the various districts.

working features of the bill" was. the
only comment that Acknowledgement
Bird had to make regarding the bill.
That the administrationists are mad
clear through is putting it mildly, but
they were outgeneraled. The boxer
bill had so many features that could
not be overlooked that it threw the
burden of action upon them. They
waited until the last moment, fondly
hoping that some boxer would desert
and finally, with defeat but a question
of minutes, they wilted.

it coal mine. The coal is from two

quality of Jackson county coal. 1t is
found at a depth of 60 feet on the
west and between 80 and 100 feet on
the eastern part Of the property. w.
F. Ward, who owns adjoining coal
leases, says this coal will yield from

the revenue would amount to from

that the coal covers an area of about
40 acres.

Fair Play for the Railroads.

Momentous problems of national CON
Germ cannot be solved overnight. One
must avoid both the spirit of the self
centered plutocrat and the self-seekiug
demagogue the cass-spirit and the
mass.spirit; the professional spolator Of
the poor and the professional agitator
of the ignorant. Every railroad corpora
ton or company is a business venture.
But every railroad corporation is also
q public, or quasi public, institution.
The owners and the patrons may dis
agree about many matters, such as rates,
discrimination, profit and service, but
these two groups must be reconciled.
Harmony must prevail if such splendid
progress as We have known in the past
is to continue.
How may public-service corporations
he properly regulated in the interests of
the investing travelling, and shipping
public? This is the problem, ana un-
til it is solved with equal and exact
justice to all, it is not solved. No issue
is closed until right has prevailed. The
nation must not be unduly influenced
by either the prayers of silk-vested oil
garchy or the threats of red-shirted an
archy. Sanity must ultimatel y triumph,
and we must learn to make haste slowly.
Our primary among the nations of the
world is due in large measure to our in
dustrial supremacy. And why are we
first in industry? The answer is, The
railroads. They have dispersed the in-
rushing hordes Of immigrants; they have
civilized the West and opened up the
great Northwest. Wherever they have
gone they have built miestones of pros
perity.
Prosperity spells content and the OPP
portunity to educate and to develop
There are other contributory causes of
the nations greatness, but we must not
forget the leading role which the rail
roads have played. This insane desire
to curb and restrain the enterprise of
the nations progressive builders of pros
perity will surely react, and we shall
suffer as we should, and eat the fruits Of
our own misdoing.-Leslie's Weekly.
