THE LOCATION OF THE STATE

DETRoIT's CLAIM FOR IT

The ancient claim Of Detroit that II
Is the legal capital of the state Is to
be passed upon by the constitutional
convention. and organizations are al
ready reported as forming In various
sections Of the state to remedy what
Gov. Pingree called the crime OF
1S47." when the state legislature
moved the capitol from Detroit and
ordered that II be located In the town
ship of Lansing" In the county of Ing
ham, at that time In the midst of a
forest and 20 miles distant from any
railroad.
In the convention of 1885 . clause
was included which provided that The
capitol should be located At Detroit
until 1S47. when the legislature should
locate a permanent capital. There
were many claimants, Grand Branch,
In Genesee county; Byron, In Shia-
wassee county; Lyons. in Ionia coun-
ty: Dexter. in Washtenaw county. be-
sides such cities as Jackson, Ann Ar
Dor. Marshall, Corunna. Eaton Rapids
and Battle Creek. Finally the commit
tee OF the whole, which had risen sev-
eral times In agreement, always to lie
rejected by the house. located the
capital in the wilderness.
Since that time. at intervals, and es-
pecially since Gov. Pingree's message,
there have been many attempts TO
pass an amendment through the legis-
lature to return the capitol to Detroit.
Sane People in Asylums.
c. w. Mason, editor OF the North
west Farmer, published In Menomi-
nee. charges that heartless relatives
who wish to become rid of infirm old
people, send them to asylums on the
pretext OF insanity, and that the state
asylums are full of instances of his
charges. He says that there are at
least fifty patients of this sort in the
Newberry asylum.
In an editorial Mason directs his at
tacks not on the superintendent of
the asylum. but on the public and the
county officials. who permit the al
legged conditions to exist either
through ignorance or neglect Of duty.
1T is for the humanity of the pub
lie to know to what extent this prac-
tice is carried on and to put q sum-
mary stop to It," he says. 1T Is for
the authorities in each county to in
vestigate conditions at home and to
carefully scan each case OF insanity to
see that absolute justice is done.

Washington Letter.
(From our regular correspondent

Washington, D. G. Aug. %, 'O7.
Political interest in Washington
has been keenly aroused during the
past week by the delivery of two
notable speeches, one by the Presi
dent at the laying of the cornerstone
of the monument to the landing of
the Pilgrims on Cape Cod, the 9th
er by Secretary Taft at Columbus,
a speech in which the secretary out
lined fully his attitude on the thre e
| great political questions of the day
the trusts, the railroads and the
! tariff.
The manipulators of stocks and
| bonds in Wall Street, who had
hoped to find comfort and reassur-
ance in the Presidents speech were
disappointed. Mr.. Roosevelt as
serted with all the vehemence of
which he is master that he should
continue during the remaining
eighteen months he will remain in
office, to prosecute the violators of
the law wherever he found them,
rich or poor, influential or the re-
verse. He stated emphatically that
the policy of the administration was
| not tainted with vindictiveness, mol
10y desire to pursue corporations
except in so far as was made neces-
sary by the wilful violation of the
law by corporation managers.
One of the mt st striking of the
Presidents utterances, and it is one
which no previous public man has
had the courage to make, though
many have believed with Mr..
Roosevelt, was that it was entirely
probable that some of the great Gin
terests" such for instance as the
Standard Oil, the Hartman crowd,
ETC., were deliberately contributing
to the generalization of the stock
market and the depression of the
value of securities with the hope of
frightening the people into revers-
ing the policy of the present admin
istration and compelling the govern
ment to ignore, if not condone, the
illegal acts of trust and railroad off
Gals for fear any other course would
result in unwarranted hardship to
innocent holders of their securities.
This scheme is one that has been
tried more than once. 1t is always
attempted with more or less success
whenever the tariff is revised, and
the big interests attempted it last
March, soon after Congress adj
jnurned, at which time it will be re-
msmbered j. Pierpont Morgan
came to Washington and appealed
to the President to make some pub
lie statement, and finally to call a
meeting of the larger railroad presi-
dents with view to ''reassuring the

requests, although he said he would

What Others Saw.

The Righteousness of that feature
of our laws which enables convict
ed criminal to purchase immunity
from punishment through the pay
ment of a fine was rointedly dem
onstrated in the municipal court at
st. Adams this week. The re-
spondent in the case, 19-year old
young man residing in Bakersfield,
pleaded guilty to one of the worst
crimes on the calendar, that of as
sault with intent to commit rape
upon little girl of ten years, and
was fined $500 and costs. A law
which enables a criminal of the
stamp of Walter Barnes, the re-
spondent in the case referred to,
to escape any actual punishment for
such deed, is wrong. The chances
are more than even that the money
was raised by the young mans rela-
tives to keep him out of confinement
and the deprivation actually fell not
upon him but upon others. Even if
he had the money, taking it from
him is not punishment fitting any
crime, much less such an act as was
acknowledged by Barnes. The mag
istrate who punished undoubtedly
conformed to the statutes in impos-
ing the sentence and there may have
been mitigating circumstances in
the case, but these facts in no way
disprove the contention that fning
is not punishment. Bennington

Young Weuherbee and three other
boys, Louis and Earl Stetson and

arms fastened TO cross beams ut eth

Wetherbee climbed out on one of
these arms and touched the wire.
He screamed and fell forward. Bal
