"Consciences CommerciaHzed'
These immense sums of money in sight
have been regarded as spoils by insurance
managers. whose consciances have been
commercialized according to modern stands
ards by the state insurance departments
and their hangers-on. and, worst of ALL by
a number of state legislatures. which, with
little knowledge and less scruple, have
treated as legitimate loot these moneys
raised by voluntary taxation to provide
against disaster and calamity.
1T is Just as dishonest to steal under the
protection of the law as without 1t; it is
just dishonest for the state to lay un-

Spanish Schools.

From the Nuestro TEMPO, Madrid.
The schools OF Spain are inadequate ana
insanitary, the teachers are poorly paid
and not always capable and about half the
people are illiterate. Yet nobody troubles
about this deplorable state of things, and
an excellent law which was passed half a
century ago to enforce kind Of compul-

injustice when they seek even partially to
maintain themselves by Legislative raids
upon trust funds; moreover, it is the climax
of cowardice to commit extortions in the
name of police power, but most of them
are doing it and thus commit the identical
offense they condemn and punish in the in
divldual.
But we have not risen above the idea
that money In sight belongs to him who
can get hold of it and keep out of Jail, and

Many New England farmers have
found that taking summer boarders Is

ous means of livelihood than filling an
unl,indly soil. Such one Is a certain
Old Man Stonefieid. as he is generally
known. Much to the surprise OF his
nelghbors. therefore, he was seen to
be engaged IN planting several acres
OF corn about his place.

C. b. FOOTE DEAD

Another Pioneer Il Called From

Charles B Foote died at the home OF
his son, Charles r. Foote in Hart Tuesday,
aged 80 years.
The deceased and his wife were there

with the fatal sickness. The remains were
brought here for interment and the tuner

laid to rest in Riverside cemetery.
Mr. Foote came to OLlsco about 80
years ago and has resided on what has
been known as the Foore farm east OF the
city and in the city since coming to Mich
igan.
He was an honored and respected Cit

Brazlrs Big and Enterprsing Capital.
Rio de Janerio, the capital of Bra
I'll, has approximately million inhab-
itants, and this figure is destined to
increase rapidly, owing to the great
improvements which have been inau-
gurated and pushed to conclusion dur
the last three years. says Appleton's
Magazine. First in Importance OF
these fundamental improvements is
the fight for the complete sanitation
of the city, which is being brought
70 a successful close. The Havana
system of prophylaxis. consisting in
the extinction of the mosquito which
transmits yellow fever, has been sue
cessfully applied, and the terrible
scourge which at one time gave Rio
de Janeiro the name of the White
Mans Death is to-day practically
banished from the capital city.

AS REGARDS CHILD LABOR

Opposition to the enforcement OF the
laws on the statute books OF our state
with reference to child labor comes prln-
cipally from the the foreignborn elements
of the states population. The foregoing
statement was publicly made few days
ago by one Of the Michigan factory IN
spectors. If this is true then does the op
position come from the very persons
whom these laws can best serve. 1t was
stated that the question as TO whether OF
not this was a free country was oftep
asked by those who insisted upon the
right to require labor Of their small
children rather then send them to school
The questions relating to rights and priyl-
lepes in an avowed free country coulo
probably be taken up at no better point
than through INSTANCES on the rights Of
children to their childhood and to the priv
ieges of the school. There may be lndlyl-
dual cases where enforcement OF the la"
may seem hardship and some provision
for such cases may have to be made ou
these cases should not weaken or hinoel
the statutes enforcement. The nifty
thousand immigrants that come TO Mich
igan from other countries last year re-
member the conditions most Of them CANT
from should give cordial support to Mich
igan's laws in opposition to child labor

A GOOD BUNCH OF TAX.

The treasury Of the state OF Michigan
will receive total of S5,4lz,525 90 on
tax account from the railroads OF the
state when their tax paying time arrives
this coming summer. This is not quite
equal to the tax payment Of last year on
railroad account, the difference being due
to the lower average of taxes throughout
the state on which the railroad rate is
based. But it is an addition to the state
primary school fund greater than ever be.

ception of last years tax.

FOR A TWO CENT RATE.

The lower house of the Pennsylvania
Legislators passed a bill requiring two
cent per mile railroad passenger rate IN
that state, to take effect the first of July
next, without a single dissenting vote.
Similar bills have either passed or are
pending in fifteen other states where leg
islatures are now in session. They will
not become laws in all the states, but the
sale of mileage books at the two cent rate
without condition or further requirement
will probably be the least compromise
that any of the states will accept
