Americas Majestic Sea Line.

Never yet has Norfolk-of old the
port of Naval rendezvous witnessed so
imposing an assemblage of war craft
as now lies in the harbor between Old
Point Comfort and the Exposition
grounds Though but the advance
guard of the great gathering of fleets
that will be here during the Exposition,
the fleet is impressive, not only for its
numbers and power, but by reason of
the fact that it is wholly American.
Sixteen first class battle ships strung
along line extending three miles; with
a number of secondary craft make up
this stupendous array of the nations
ocean power, presenting a spectacle to
stir the soul of patriotism. Other ships
are daily frightening this majestic line,
and never before have Americans been
privileged to witness the power of the
nation in such compact concourse. This
fleet constitutes the greatest assemblage
of American war ships ever held. 1t is
the great new navy on parade; the new
navy with which the nation has as
sumed the second place among the
naval powers of the earth. The fleet is
manned with over FIVE hundred officers
and thirteen thousand men. Twenty
abreast this splendid host of American
seaman on the march would take two
hours to pass a. given point. The pas
sage through this formidable line on
one of the new ferry boats that ply on
Norfolk harbor, will arouse the amazed
interest Of the dullest and one feels
that the nation can never go wrong
while such ships and such men stand
sentinels at its sea gates. There is al
ready, grand exposition on the waters
of Hampton Roads, worth alone trip
across the continent to witness.
One of the most important exhibits to
be seen in the Marine appliance build
ing at the Exposition, is display of
ordinance from the Vickers Maxim
Company, one of the largest manufac-
turers of guns and firearms in England.
Great Importance is attached to the
decision of this firm to participate in
the ordinance exhibit at the Exposition,
in that it is recognition of the value
to exhibitors to enter into the display of
this line of manufactures, at the Ter
Centennial.
The exhibit consists of one six
FOUNDER, semi automatic gun with ma
val mounting and automatic pack gun.
together with several pieces of lighter
ordinance The exhibit also includes a
display of saddlery and ammunition.

The recent decision of the supreme
court which gives to the Michigan
Central railroad the privilege Of going
ahead with its suit for six million
dollars against the state, the amount of
damages claimed by the railroad by
yeason of the repeal OF it's special chart
err by no means makes it probable that
six millions or any millions will be paid
out of the state treasury to the railroad
company. The repeal of its charter
compelled the Michigan Central to re.
duce it's passenger fare, aud the lower.
ed rate Of fare caused the company's re-
receipts and profits from passenger
sources to be largely increased. Just
wherein the railroad has been injured
TO the extent it will claim as the result
of its charter repeal will evidently have
TO be shown through some other means
than by referring to the business effect
Of that action.

OWOSSO, FRIDAY MAY 10, 1907

The evident desire of some members
of the legislature to make the member
ship Of the coming constitutional con.
ventioD as representative as possible in
territorial and locality way, will hard
ly assist in the purposes which most de-
serve attention. 1t will be necessary
that the people of every country and
every section of the state shall be con-
sidered in the make up of the conven-
ton and in its work, as they will all
have. the previlige of voting for the
adoption or the rejection of such re-
vision of the state constitution as shall
be gu omitted The work of body
made up to represent all the different
localities is not more likely to be APP
proved than the work Of smaller and
more deliberative assembly.

Torrens's System of Title Resistra.
ton.

OOtts
One of the most important bills now
before the state legislature is house bill
No. 10, file No. 81, introduced by Mr..
Baker and referred to the committee
on judiciary. This is bill for the
registration of land and the title there
to, or what is known as the "Torren's"
system of registration of land titles.
The bill will come up in the house
soon, and there will be delegations
from various parts of the state present
to urge its passage.
The Torrens system, borrowed from
Australia, has been adopted with vari-
Gus minor notifications by many
states, and the proposition to adopt it
in Michigan is not entirely new, yet
very few people are even slightly con.
versant with its principles.
Under this system the title to piece
OF land may be examined into and, in
the language of the bill, eff, after heai
ing, the court finds the applicant (for
registration has title proper for regis
tration, whether as stated in his appli.
cation or otherwise, it shall make and
file its decree therein, confirming the
title of the applicant and ordering the
registration thereof Except as herein
provided, every decree of registration
shall bind the land described therein.

THE OPTIMIST.

We are prone to think Of the dull, de-
make a man feel blue" but. after all,
think there is more reason to be dis
contented on these glorious spring days
that is, unless man is content with
things as they are" But contentment
is not the right sort Of optimism No
one ever saw a contented man who
amounted 10 anything. He might be
happy in a dull. negative sort Of way,
but that larger and dner happiness that
comes with attempted achievement-even
II the achievement fall SHORTS not for
him.
And so these glorious days Of spring
are a constant reminder to the thoughtful
man Of how honestly and faithfully Ma
ture does her work She is not altogether
so benignant as some philosophers would
make her out. for she is wasteful. ex-
travagant, cruel at times. But the main
thing is that she gets there" Joy, hap
piness, tears, sorrow-nothing is allowed
to interfere when the appointed time
comes Dame Nature has her house In
order. Inevitable is the sunshine Of
spring; inevitable the glory Of the leaving
trees; sure the blooming Of the flowers.
Mankind is the only thing that is not
sure, but even here, so far as Nature is
her work is inevitable. Al
ways the same cycle. birth-death, But
in the meantime what a range we have
II We could only use our faculties with
aF D.
pose that Nature uses hers II we could
be sure Of ourselves, But. instead Of fol-
lowing along the appointed path, we let
ourselves be led away by the murmur Of
sparkling brooks, by the gleam Of dane
ing eyes. by the perfume Of the flowers.
in spite Of the aspirations Of the soul the
body has TO be satisfied, and oh, the
tears We waste and the years We waste.
And 50 the evidences Cf spring on every
hand should do much 10 make Us healthily
not with our lot. but with
our striving. Seeing how beautiful the
world is. must we not feel how little has
been our part IN making Il so? Are our
thoughts as fine and clear and inspiring
as the season? The call in our blood Is
toward the grassy meadows and the sun

mankind 10 a higher sphere be done

Of persons who make stagger at giving

that other prices reigned at proportionate

This specific tale Is so manifestly alb
surd that it hardly needs the attention
of the Norfolk papers but for the fact
that it is merely a sample of many others
equally as baseless. In their entirety. how
ever these fakes. sent out apparently by
irresponsible correspondents, will, If per-
sisted in and made the basis of adverse
editorial comment, ultimately create an
impression that will greatly damage the
bright prospects of the exposition. II
this impression is unjust and undeserved-
and we frankly think it is-it is a matter
that the press is in honor bound to dis
sipate and set Alright
Many wealthy and prominent people are
expected TO visit Norfolk during the eX-
position. Doubtless there are extremely
high-priced places for the accommodation
of such persons. This is very well. and
as it should be. But we have no doubt
that the visitor OF limited financial re-
sources may be satisfactorily cared for at
an outlay Of cash entirely within the
bounds Of that which is right and proper.

exposition is a great undertaking, an all
American undertaking. and it deserves
nothing but help and encouragement from
the people and the newspapers. Mistakes
have been made. Of course. but the man

the other hand. there is not the slightest
excuse for exaggerauons and misrepre-
