Some Accusations.

The Anti-Saloon league bills, which
include the search and seizure meas
ure, the Ming bill, which gives coun-
ties broader powers over the saloon
business, have been reported out in
the senate, and made a special order
for Wednesday, when the opening OF
the fight in the senate over the liquor
question will be the principal feature
OF the week. In the house, the Orms-
bee regulation bill is scheduled as a
special order, and liquor legislation
will undoubtedly arouse the hottest
kind of contest during the week.
The liquor men have been active ever
since the session opened, and the
anti-saloon men have been just as
busy Various accusations have been
whispered about, which will be
brought to light when the contest gets
under way, and members interested
more particularly in other legislation
are fearing that the strife will bring
about a condition which will jeopar-
die their bills.

Lansing, Mich, March 2z, lSUS.
This week will be a very important
one in the legislature. Getting ready
to pass laws is something like the
preparation of dinner. The house
wife prepares her vegetable and her
meat and everything she needs and
finally gets it on the fire. Up to this
time there is not much result, but
presently 1t is done, and all comes
out together and everyone is satisfied.
Many bills have gone to committees
this session, and they have been care
fully considered and amended and
now are being reported out for gen.
eral consideration. So from now on
laws will be passed every day. Liquor
bills will take precedence this week
with the railroad bills second, and IL
there is any spare time primary re-
form may be discussed.

The Winning Nurses.

Convincing arguments put up by the
nurses Of the state have brought the
public health committee of the house
around to the nurses way Of thinking,
and the bill providing for registered
nurses will be reported out in a very
few days Instead of board COM
posed entirely of nurses, it will have
three nurses and two physicians. The
compromise for three doctors and two
nurses will be rejected, and the nurses
will have control of their board,
though not its entire membership, as
they had hoped. Also the law is
amended to provide for a two years
training instead of three, as they
wished, but as the majority OF states
that have registration laws prescribe
for two instead of three years train
ing, there is no hardship in this.

spring, given below, will show
plainly that the boys with the
maroon socks have some strenuous
work ahead. All the games
promise to be hard fought and many
of them will undoubtedly call for
overtime. The best feature of the
schedule is that the majority of
games, and the best ones too, are
to be played on the home grounds.
Consequently, the hundreds of
loyal fans will have their fill of
good exciting games. Besides the
intercollegiate games for the cham
pionship some of the practice
games promise to be of the best.
The large number of practice games
secured, will be great assist and
by the time the intercollegiate
meet rolls around we should be
heard from.
Dope from the other colleges
makes it very evident that the
fight will be more interesting than
ever before. All are predicting
even stronger teams than last year
1t goes without saying that Alma
will do her level best to keep the
cup where it is and the stronger
the other teams the more entertain
ing the season. The schedule may
be subjected to one or two changes,
but in the main will stand as given
below.
The squad is putting in some
good ticks every afternoon in the
gymnasium. The batting cage i:
proving itself invaluable, giving
as it does, nearly a months extra
batting practice which would other
wise have been forfeited. The
