we read,' says the Victoria Colo. hist, few days ago, that at Dover, England, last week, fleet of fifty warships was formed in a long double line to greet the President of France. These vessels represent only fraction of Britain's naval might. This para graph is intended especially for the eyes of those who may have been de- luded into the belief that the feet of United States battleships now st an- chor in the waters of Puget Sound represented the mightiest aggregation of warships which has ever been as- sembled. Our good friends on the other side of the line have legitimate reason to feel proud of their navy, but sometimes they are disposed to over- esti meat it's greatness, and the inci- dent of the naval display on the occa- sion of the visit of the President of France to England, suggests com. parison which it is impossible to re- piss making ss the present time"

RESOLUTIONS

The following resolution was adj
opted at Reed City convention last
week.
The republicans of the Eleventh
congressional district through their
delegates in convention assembled re-
new their faith in and allegiance to
the principles of present-day progress
sive republicanism.
We heartily endorse the stand of Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt on the great
problems of national life, and we urge
that the issues so admirably put into
form by him be carried forward to
their logical conclusion in the interest
of Just and right for the great body
of our countrvmen regardless of wealth
or social condition. Believing that Wm.
Taft is the greatest exponent of these
principles and that his public career
has shown him to be a man of highest
administrative ability and that he
possesses all the elements of power that
make strong and ideal executive,
we therefore endorse his candidacy
and recommend that our delegates
elected here use every reasonable en-
deavor to secure his nomination.

RAW SUGAR WILL BE IMPORTED

The Tuscola County Advertiser of
last week said:
The West Bay City Sugar Co. will
shortly start up for short run on
raw sugar imported from Germany.
The run is purely experimental and IL
is believed that it will determine
whether the Michigan beet sugar fact
orties shall enter opon a new era of
work. with thousands of employees the
year around. or whether the present
conditions with three months in a
year shall remain.
The raw sugar can be obtained in
European countries with great ease,
as the European plan of sugar manu-
fscture is radically different than in
the United States.
One trouble with refining raw i'm
ported sugar there will be the high
tariff on raw sugar. A few changes
would be necessary in the local plant,
but they would not interfere with the
regular run for the local campaign.
If Bay City Co., Is successful. il is
expectd the Caro- plant and others will
take up the question of importations
which would mean the continuous
