The Michigan members Of the
house of Representatives Jared ex-
ceedingly well in the committee
places given them yesterday by
Speaker Cannon. 1t is doubtful If
the state ever had as many good as
signments, and this is due to the fact
that more of the members are re-
turned year after year and thus get
places on more important committees.
Congressman Fordney is on the COM
mittee on ways and means-the
coveted committee of the house-and
on mines and mining. The Times
is certain that Cong. Fordney will
prove to be a useful member Of the
ways and means committee and feels
that the district as we'll as the con-
gresham has been honored At the
same time it occurs to us that it is
a personal sacrifice to Congressman
Fordney to give mp his place as
second member on the committee on
public land and merchant marine
both very important committees and
their Importance is greater every
day-to go on the ways and means
committee. However, it is charac-
teristic of the man. He believed
he could do more for his district
the state and the nation if given the
assignment as it is this committee
which will have to do with the tar
in question.

A Washington dispatch says; cat
present it is Taft against the field, said
Congressman Diekems. Personally l
see no reason to change the statement
made a month ago, that Michigan
would favor Taft, if Roosevelt refused
to run. Taft has the Rooseveltian cour-
age and power, with unparalleled diplo-
macy. If a deadlock comes, think Mr..
Cannon will be the party's choice. 1
think Michigan should join in the fight
and make part of the procession and
not wait until some candidate has won,
and fall in with him"
Senator'S Burrows and Smith and
Congressman Hamilton are non-com-
initial. Congressman Fordney's cham
pionship of Cannon is as we'll known as
Congressman Diekema's preference for
Taft. II consider Mr.. Cannon the
strongest man in the country, declared

1t is to be regretted that the constitu-
tional convention is to leave the ques-
tion of the salaries to be paid state otfi-
GERS in just as bad a shape as it is at
present. Every one knows that Mich
igan has been disgraced for years by
the meagre salaries paid and it has
been the general expectation that the
convention would fix the same at sum
which would at least be in keeping
with the amounts paid 10 other states
which are as prosperous as Michigan.
Instead of this it is to be left to the
legislature and to vote of the people,
which will probably mean that the
state will continue to pay its secretary
of state, attorney general and commits
sioner of the land Office the magnifi-
cent sum of $500 per year, its state
treasurer and superintendent of public
instruction 1000.

cally, however neither Sweden nor
Norway is apt to be disturbed by his
demise. In one respect the change of
monarchs may amelorate the relations
between Sweden and Norway because
the new Kings son, who now becomes
crown prince. is united by marriage TO
the Queen of Norway.
The new King Gustave much resem-
bies his father in stature and his Sax
OH blonde features. The young monarch
is not unused to the cares of state, for
he has frequently acted as regent dur
ing the illness and absence OF his ia
Their and has displayed good sense and
ability. He is personally much liked
at mis- own and at other capitals, where
he is regarded as having his fathers
characteristics of sincerity and SIM
plicity.
