ITS SEMI-CENTENNIAL
MICHIGAN AGRICULTURAL COL.
LEcE TO CELEBRATE.
President Roosevelt and other Die.
tinguished Guests Expected to
Be Present at Dolngs
Last Of May.

Michigan agricultural college, which
antedates all similar institutions in
this country, is to hold a big celebra-
ton during the three closing days of
the month of May in recognition of
the completion of it's fiftieth year in
the special field Of farm educational
work This alone is sufficient to lend
Importance to the event, but as a star
attraction it is expected that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, under whose admins
tration such advance steps have been
taken in agricultural science. is to
be present, together with other dis
tinguished guests of national reputa-
ton.
The origin OF the Michigan Agricul-
utral college was primarily due to the
efforts of the State Agricultural So
ciety, which, after campaign of ten
years, succeeded in having inserted in
the constitution in 1850 a provision
for the establishment of a state agri-
cultural college. The legislature of
1857 carried this provision into eff
feet The society was charged with
the responsibility of selecting a site,
a limit of SIS an acre being placed
upon the purchase price. A number
of sites were offered, but the mem
bers were Impressed with a tract of
C13 acres of wilderness lying three
miles east of Lansing, on the bank
of the Red Cedar river. Only few

The first buildings consisted of a
dormitory known as Saints Rest,
College hall, which still remains as
the central building of the campus, a
brick barn and four brick dwellings
The college was open for students In
May, 1857.
The college was at first placed un
der the control of the state board Of
education. In 1861 the state board o.
agriculture was created and placed il
charge of the college. Work was con
fined entirely to instruction in agri
culture, and as there was little t
teach on this subject except the man
ual work, the first instruction wa
confined largely to mathematics, Eng

as carefully nurtured. fed and trained

taught to know nobody as acquaint-

The result is that they finally be-

police dog walks ten PAGES ahead Of

to that hardy race known in Eu-

Similarly at Paris it is expected
that dogs will prove valuable.

DID THE PROPER THING.

In view of all The facts, it appears
that the county commissioners did the
proper thing in declining to grant a
renewal OF the franchise asked by the
Hamilton & Richmond traction COM
pany. This company secured fran
chise some years ago, but allowed it
to lapse and so far as is known never
made an effort to build a road. It
was generally suspected that the eff
fort to secure the renewal was prompt
ed by the appearance of the Ohio &
Indiana company in the field. The lat
ter organization includes some Rich
mond men, among them Attorney A.
C. Lindemuth, and is hopeful of build
ing a line from this city to Hamilton.
It will not be out of the way to give it
an opportunity.

THIRD TERM RUMOR
While in Washington He Says
That He Believes PreSi-

EVENING AT WHITE HOUSE.
IF HE so DESIRED RICHMOND
MAN COULD BE ASSISTANT
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR,

In writing from Washington, Louis
Ludlow says:
THAT the third-term boomers are on
the wrong tack is the opinion of Will
liam Dudley Foulke of Richmond, Ind,
who is here consulting with some OF
the nations leading statesmen. He
in an extended conference with the
president and last night he was a
guest over night at the home of Attor-
ney General Charles J: Bonaparte in
Baltimore. He was seen today at the
Cosmos club. There is every reason to
believe that he could have a good posi-
ton under the administration. proba-
bly, that of first assistant secretary of
the Interior if he would accept it. but
he has no ambitions in that direction.
He will sail from New York Thursday
with his daughter for Norway. where
they will spend two or three months.
when asked today what he thinks
of the third term talk he said: Il have
no authority whatever to speak and no
definite knowledge. but l believe that
the president stands today exactly
where he stood when he made the
statement that he would not be a can
didate
IN discussing the president and the
railroads Mr.. Foulke spoke in an iron
ical vein. He said: L find there are
two complaints made against the pres

able and decidedly contradictory. One
is that he ought not to interfere with
legislation in congress by talking to in
dividual members of congress. giving
his opinion whether a certain bill
ought or ought not to pass. This is de-
clared to be great usurpation of pow
er. At the same time some of the men
who are making this complaint say of
him that he ought to use his influence
to prevent state legislatures from pass
ing any further legislation inimical TO
the railroad companies. Now he has
no power at all over the states and it
is his duty to advise congress in re-
spect to legislation yet the men who
" object to his doing the latter. This
is an illustration of the harmony which
exists among the various critics of the
president
Mr.. Foulke's particular mission at
the white house, he said. was to talk
over certain affairs of the Indian Terri
tory. where he was sent recently to in

Would Cut Down Cars.

So insistent and widespread has be-
come the demand of shippers for spec
ial cars on the local Pennsylvania di-
visions of the Pennsylvania and so ex-
pensive has this item become in rail
road business, that the local officials
are trying to cut down the output of
these cars without handicapping the
shippers. So great is the demand for
larger cars, than those of the stand
ard size, it is understood the entire
Pennsylvania will order large cars
in the future. Shippers have become
so used to securing special cars in
the past with ease, that they do not
take into consideration the present
freight congestion, and wait until the
last moment and as the result have TO
be delayed because the railroads can
not even furnish them the standard
size cars.

As another evidence of the decad-
ence of trial by jury is cited the
report OF the Wayne circuit court for
the January term, just closing. 1t
shows that less than $500 was spent
for juries. 1t has become a common
thing for the court to hear many cas-
es that in former years would have
been committed to the uncertain fate
of a jury's decision and it has also
become common for many troubles TO
be arbitrated without ever getting into
court The lawyer who can satisfy the
parties to an action without necessity
OF trial is by many counted a better
one than he who may win it after it
comes to trial, for the former saves
not only his clients money, but the
public's money as well.

JAIL IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED.

Isn't it about time the county COM
missioners would do something of real
consequence toward the repair of the
county jail? Year after year the same
old song about the Jail being in bad
condition is dinned into the ears of
the public and it seems that no pro-
gress toward lettering conditions is
ever made. If the Jail conditions are
such as reported, is it any more than
right that they should be remedied?
Ought the sheriff be expected to run
after the commissioners and keep in
sisting upon repairs, even when he
has little to hope for? The grand
jury has repeatedly urged improve
ments at the Jail, and if any one
knows why Wayne county is unable
TO keep it's Jail in proper condition it
would be interesting to hear the reas-
on stated.

SELLING EGGS BY POUND

Of Measuring.
WEIGHT SYSTEM FAVORED.

If scheme that has been sprung il
Chicago proves successful, it will be-
come general all over the country and
you will cease to buy eggs by the doz-
en- and potatoes by the peck. In Chi
cago they are selling eggs by the
pound and an ordinance is before the
council TO compel potatoes and other
vegetables to be sold by weight in
stead of measure. Instead of ordering
dozen of eggs the customer now or
ders three pounds of eggs, which is
what an average dozen of eggs should
weigh. 1t is proposed that bushel
measures. half bushel measures and
peck measures shall be thrown on the
scrap heap. Even bread is to be sold
by the pound.
The sale of eggs by the pound has
long been advocated. In Chicago at
least the hen has come into her own.
No longer the result of her labors. big
eggs and little eggs. be gathered to-
gether and sold as common dozen. but
big egg will count, and when it is
weighed alongside of the little eggs of
her competitors the books will show
her credit Only peddlers and I'M
scrupulous dealers will object to the
change.

Chicago scheme was described express
ed himself heartily in favor of it. AT

IS supposed to weigh fifteen pounds.
We buy them by the pound and sell
them by measure. An INSCRIPTIONS
dealer can make a peck measure APP
pear to be heaping over. when in real
ity there are scarcely twelve pounds
of potatoes in it, 1t is the same way
with other vegetables. Let the pound

The Magazines.
China's Military Future.

China awakened to the sense of her
own power might change the map of
the world. A great deal has been said
about the Yellow Peril-a great deal
has been said seriously, and a great
deal of fun has been made of it. But
the fact remains that with her enor-
nous population properly trained,
China could sweep great armies before
her standards. Captain Charles T.
Boyd, u. S. A, recently made long
journey through the interior of China,
visiting the various military posts.
He watched the work of the troops
in the field. He found that they are
being trained along European lines,
and that hundreds of thousands of
men are all ready to be turned into
the field, properly equipped and drill
ed. This may mean much to the
world. He has embodied the results
of his observations in an article
"China's Military Awakening" in the
Magazine for April. He
brought back many interesting photo
graphs which are as remarkable as the
article itself.
