Representative Wards Plans.

Representative Charles III. Ward,
chairman of THE ways and means COM
mittee of the house, returned this
morning from Ann Arbor, where he
was entertained by President Angel,
of the university, who took occasion
to explain the needs Of the institution
to the man who,to some extent, holds
the keys to the strong box OF the
state.
The present continuing appropria-
tion of the university is about $435,
600. and President Angel advocates
the enactment of law that willdou-
BILE this sum. He complains that
unless the legislature becomes more
generous the university will be great
ly crippled.
1t is the opinion OF Representative
Ward that the university should be
given some additional assistance in
order to enable it to erect buildings
that are now absolutely necessary to
its continued growth, and he suggests
an Appropriation of $500, 900, of
which sum $1,000 shall be payable
annually for the next four years.
This will not be sufficient to satisfy
the demands of the university pres
idents and regents, but Mr.. Ward is
of the opinion that it will be of ma
terial assistance, and IL wisely ex-
pended, will keep the University of
Michigan in the front rank of the
rcOuntry's educational instifutione =

THE THIRD-TERM TALK.

1t is the judgment of careful OBJ
servers here that the President in
tends to let politics run along about
as it is now. That is to say, he is
willing that his countrymen shall con-
tinue TO talk about him for the third
term If it pleases them to talk that
way. Talk of that kind, it is pointed
out. makes surer the Endorsement OF
the Roosevelt policies and the nomi-
nation of man who has supported
the administration Loyalty at all
points
In good time, it is asserted, the
President will reiterate, in such a
way that the country cannot misin-
terpret his words, that he will not &C
cept another nomination. No one
ventures to say when this good time"
will come Some of the prophets are
half inclined to think the President
might keep the various candidates on
the anxious seat until the convention
season is at hand They are quite
sure lie intends to keep his hand on
the party throttle until he sees the
track clear for his policies.
A good deal of silly talk has bcen
printed in the press i'll some sections
of the country the last 10 days about
the President being opposed to the
nomination of this man or that man.
If there is one point on which he has
been clear it is that he is not opposing
ANYBODY. He has said repeatedly to
callers, who have had authority to
repeat his words after coming away
from the White House, that it is not
men. but policies, in which he is in
terested.
He has remarked time and again
that the party has plenty of men who
will make acceptable presidents. In
his own official family are several
men against whom he could not and
would not raise any objections, for
they have all stood shoulder to shout
der with him in every undertaking
he has aunched-Root, Taft, Fair
banks and Cortelyou Or if the party
should decide that Gov Hughes of
New York or Senator La Toilette OF
Wisconsin or Gov Cummins of Iowa
or any one of a number OF other
promising men that might be men
toned, should be nominated, he would
not interfere, provided he was con-
WINGED that the convention intended
TO nOlO last 10 lllS NOOSSNSil POhSiNo'
If there is one man against whom
he might raise his voice, that man is
Senator Foraker The quarrel be-
tween the President and Foraker is
almost personal. OF all the men
mentioned in connection with the
nomination at this time, Foraker is
the only one who has opposed any of
the Presidents policies. The Presi-
dent feels that the Ohio senator is
not right on the railroad question and
would undoubtedly look on his nom
nation as step backward
1t is folly for anybody to be at
tempting to guess the nominee of the
convention. 1t is fully IA months be-
fore the nomination will be made. 1t
will he nine or ten months before. a
delegate to the convention will be
chosen, and more than year before
the work of selecting delegates is
fully under way. So it is too early
to get excited. But it is not too early
to sec clearly that the Republican
party must hold fast to Rooseveltism
in most of its forms or take the con-
sequences Washington Letter to the
Brooklyn Eagle.

Harry Bailey Unearthed Them Satur

While Harry Bailey, son of Frank
Bailey, of North Mulberry street,
was loading a wagon at the sand
pit just off West King street Satur-

found nearly the entire skeleton,

The high cheek bones of the skull

The last issue Of the Stanley Sun ought to
have been suppressed in the mails on account
OF the obscenity of the language Little Mac"
used. Time was when the editor OF that paper

evidently the years have not improved him
much. Rather they have hardened his three
penny conscience until the language which he
uses is not fit to be seen in any home which Pur-
ports to have a moral standard. Little Mac
should get job on the Police Gazette or the
Minot Reporter. Even Stlckley ofthe henmare

As a boy we we're taught that it was ungen.

person whom we CHANGED to meet. God never
intended that the lame, the halt end the blind
should be held up in derision by those who hap
pened to be more fortunate Our good-looking
brother who manages the Reporter seems to
have overlooked this great lesson: He takes
pride in the fact that he is an object good to

ing than we are And what's more we'll admit
that his giant brain is away and ahead better

Objectionable Literature.

The language that Editor Sam H. Clark, the
scholarly, gentemanly head OF the Minot Re-
porter used in his Saturday mornings issue, is
probably sample Of the style OF Mr.: Clark's
with the low bred, debauched men and women
but that particular issue OF the morning
paper at least, was not fit to enter decent
home Men, think OF your growing boys and
girls reading ruch rot. Think OF tho filthy, DIP
tv terms and nsinuations that Issue contained.
Do you think that their innocent little minds
can be the same after perusing such TRADE OF
dirty truck?
TO think that the Morning Reporter OF Sat
urday. June %, 1907, should occupy the same
table as the Holy Bible, is enough to make
Moses turn over in his grave And still, Sam
says he's publishing newspaper forthe people.

you.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Does This Show Good Breeding?

Samuel Clark, editor OF the Reporter, evil
IDENTIFY during a fit OF anger, has seen fit to call
the editor OF the Independent by number OF
names which he did not intend to be compli.
mentary He did this perhaps because he
thought it was smart, and partly because ne
thought such endearing terms would cause the
Independent editor some uneasiness. WeWlll ad-
NIT that at first we were little surprised at Mr..
Clark's manner, for we always consider it un-
gentlemanly in the extreme, and sign OF poor
breeding, for a man who purports to be a Jour-
nalist, to refer to personal appearances ii they
be any peculiarities, of anyone else. Mr.. Clark
has seen fit to refer to the editor OF the Indepen-
dent as Jumbo, because he happens to weigh a
little less than ton. Because the editor OF this
paper tries to look every man squarely in the
face, Sam says we have full-moon cOuute-
nance. In the eyes OF the editor OF the Repor-
overgrown babe should require SO much atten-
tion from the Reporter editor. Mr. Clark has
used such other terms as 'hollow. Drained"
sgraft dealer" "gold dollar" and every other
belittling term at his command Now, Mr.:
Clark, we want to ask you a question and would
taught to resort to such ungentlemanlv man
ners in your home? Did your father or mother
think you were more the gentleman when you
employed such terms in expressing your opln-
ion of your fellow man? Were you taught to
do this in your church? Is it not fact that
your cnurcn teacnes you ulrecIiy Ine oPPoslle!
Are you bigger, broader, better man in your
own sight for resorting to such methods? No,
weldon believe that you are. You didn't learn
such manners in your home, We know. Your
fellow men do not think any more Ct you or any
less OF the Independent editor for the use OF
such terms Names are not arguments. If you
remain in the newspaper business for five years
longer: you will agree with US and we know you
won't do it, Now we are not "sOre" at you,
Mr.. Clark, for this We have your best inter-
ests at heart, really we have. Let's see if you
can not present arguments and let's cut out the
names. Your readers. we know, will welcome
the change.

Grafters Not Wanted in Minot.

A CRATER who was selling merchandise tauc-
ton on the corner OF Main and First streets,
during the session OF the Farmers Institute,
Friday afternoon, was given jar that he little
anticipated. The fellow went to the city audit
or and secured license to hold an auction on
the street. paying five dollars for the same. The
auditor did not know that the man was about
to sell cheap, shoddy goods in competition with
our home merchants. After he had sold goods
for about an hour the merchants learned OF it,
and Investigating found that he was selling
goods at great deal higher prices than they
could be bought for in the home stores, SO a
committee appeared before the auditor mayor
and other members OF the council. The matter
was explained, the license was revoked, the
stranger got his five dollars back and the sale
was stopped. The CRATER had crowd OF two
or three hunured people about him, many OF
whom would have bought goods from him, be-
lieving that they were getting rare bargains,
only to find in a little while that they had beer
hoodwinked. The home merchant pays taxes,
he helps to improve the streets, he helps to pay
the expenses of the farmers institute that the
tilers OF the soil may gather and be instructed
He sells, oftimes for credit when the people have
not the money, and he is here to make right
anything that happens to be wrong with the
goods The street fakir is here to-day and away
to-morrow-generally with we'll filled pocket
book. The Independent is glad that the license
of this fellow was revoked and trusts that IN
the future such vendors are not allowed to con-
duct business in the city under any circum-
stances.
