TOUCHING THE AGE LIMIT.
Rear Admiral Goodrich Makes Some
Pertinent Remarks.

In the remarks of Rear Admiral
ner, he said:
CAS- l look over the body of officers
/ perceive no change from the gen.
eral attitude which prevailed when
was young. l remember very well the
time when thought every officer over
too old for active service. In short,
gentlemen, youth is radical now as it
was radical then; and age is always
conservative. But In sense, l was
right when I drew the dead-line at As
Let us free our minds of cant and
boldly assert that 1t is not so much a
question of age of body as it is age
of brain.
'In the lower grades l recognize an
enthusiasm for efficiency which causes
turret officers to spend IL hours out of
the "a with their guns and mounts and
connections, not reluctantly but cheer
fully. Each aspires to win the blue
ribbon of the service and write his
name first on the competitive list.
do their captains share this spirit
and strive to excel their colleagues in
the happiness of their ships compan-
les, the efficiency of their commands,
and in their own ability to manage
their vessels with as much freedom
and certainty as Tom Shea in New
port handles his catboat?
1--WE whose remnant of active life
can readily be counted by months are
not necessarily too old. But too old
we certainly are If we fail to perceive
that what the Nation demands of us
is the trained faculty to direct the
movements Of our ships and squad
rons in line of battle. / pray most
reverently that such supreme test
may never come to us-but If it does
come and If we have wasted our prec-
ious days in the nonessentials, such
as undue idolatry of the stadimeter,
then we shall go down before a more
skillful foe just as the formal move

Praises National Guardsmen.

THE Michigan National guard can
hardly claim to represent as high a
social class throughout as the same
number of college students, but l want
to say that if you were to take $500
men out of any college on earth, and
turn them loose in some place away
from home, I'll warrant that there
would be more rowdyism than has
been shown by the guardsmen while
they were in camp" That's the way
Gen. c. w. Harrah, commanding the
Michigan National guard, replies to
anonymous statements that inexcus-
able rowdyism prevailed at the late
encampment at Ludington. He added
that the rowdyism stories were hope
lessly exaggerated, as those who had
come in close touch with the boys
would testify. There were only two
cases of rowdyism that came to light"
said Col. Harrah, "and had there been
more, | should have heard of them,
I'm quite sure. The rowdy story was
concocted, evidently, by some person
who wished to hurt the National
guard, and was without justification"

young man opposite, who was slightly
flushed and wholly unhappy.

eagerly.
The young woman looked down the
golf course. and then up and down
the clubhouse veranda before she re-
membered to answer.

such very trivial matter that shall

Lansing.-Miss Luella NJ. Burton,
deputy state factory inspector, has
given out an interesting statement
showing that child labor in Michigan
is on the increase. There were 1865
in 1906 and 5095 employed in Mich
igan in 1905, showing an increase of
761 children in the various factories,
workshops, hotels and stores. There
is no way of ascertaining the num-
Der employed in the different street
trades, such as newsboys, bootblacks,
etc, or in the fields.
when we take into consideration
the large amount of foreign popula-
ton coming to our state each year,
statistics showing that in the first
six months of 1906, in round numbers,
$4,000 foreigners came to Michigan, to
my mind the increase in child labor
is largely accounted for" says Miss
Burton.
"At present children from IA to 16
years of age are allowed to work ten
hours per day. Last winter bills were
passed raising the age limit at which
children might be employed where
their life or limb is endangered or
their health is likely to be injured,
or their morals depraved, from 16 to
81 years for females and Is years for
males. The age limit where children
are employed in any theater, concert
hall or place of amusement where in.

Still Seek Forestry Head.

President j. l.. Snyder of the Agri-
cultural college, states that as yet no
one has been found to take charge of
the forestry department, which has
been left without head by the death
of Prof. E. e. Bogue. 1T is difficult
to find an experienced man for such
a position" said President Snyder.
There are many young men who
have been in the work a short time,
but most of those who have had very
many years of experience must have
received some foreign training"

According to NJ. ]. Mcleod, CON-
missioner of labor for the state of
Michigan, there is a noticeable scare
ity of farm and dairy hands in the
large cities. In a communication to
the bureau of information of the i'm

the bureau finds it impossible to sup

Michigan an Agricultural State.

For many years Michigan was al
most exclusively an agricultural and
mining state. That is not true to-day,
and it will never be true again, for
many great industries have come to
us and others are coming but it re-
mains true, none the less, that Mich
igan is still one of the large agricul-
tural states, and will continue to be
one so long as present climatic condi-
