Ann Arbor. Mich, March 2.-As it
has been decided to lengthen the sum-
mer school session from six to eight
weeks. so also will change be made
In the maximum number OF hours
credit which can be obtained from
six to eight hours. In fact the chief
reason for the change is to allow
this increase OF hours credit. The
instructors have complained that they
have not had sufficient time during
the summer session to teach their
subjects thoroughly Among those
who have attended summer school
there has been a feeling they sould
be allowed more hours credit. This
end could only be accomplished by
le gthening the session. and this was
done.

mable. On Long Island, in Pennsylvania,
in upper Maryland and many other
locations the inhabitants are being
burned out of homes. and whole towns
are reported as destroyed. In Connec-

other places the only hope of relief
looked for is from copious rains, but the
drouth still prevails. To increase the

Friday. October 23, 1908.

The Baltimore Sun, in q recent
editorial, criticises the utterances
of some who, it alleges, have said
that Bryan, ifelected, could do nc
harm, as his hands would be tied
by n Republican Senate. An it
goes on to say that with the cleo
ton of Mr.. Bryan q Democratic
House would be in power, and
that there would probably be
a Republican Senate in March,
1911, as the terms of some forty
two Senators expire then. The
argument proves too much, for il
Mr. Bryan is capable of doing the
mischief the Sun warns the coun-
try against, surely in twoyears
q reaction will have come that
would not only restore Repub-
iban House of Representatives
but assuredly prevent the cleo
ton of Democratic Senators at
that date. But perhaps the
weakest argument of the Sun is
, that-we quote its own words
eat this particular time, more than
m ordinary times. the people want a
statesman in the White House. They
want man of prudence, with the spirit
of wisdom and understanding, the spirit
Of counsel and strength and knowledge,
who can guide the ship of state away
from the rocks and shadows into the
commercial waters of prosperity. They
want man of performance and achieve
ment. one more intent upon charging
and encouraging business and giving
people employment than in declaring
that mills must be shut down or sold and
that factories must reduce their out
put"
: = Those are fine words. But a
+ little above this the Sun states
= that Roosevelt "has been the
cause, to a great extent, OF
upsetting the legitimate business
OF the country by ceaseless agita-
ton, And yet Mr.. Taft is
pledged, over and over again, to
carry out the policies of the man
who thus upsets the countrv's
business. 1t looks very like the
Suns editorial writer started out
not feeling sure where he would
