Perhaps the press of Michigan is wait
ing to see who is going to boss the
gubernatorial band wagon? Why not
declare yourselves, gentlemen, and help
make band wagon?- Escanaba Journal.
This criticism, certainly, cannot be
made against the press Of the upper
peninsula, for almost without exception
it has declared for Chase S. Osborn for
governor, band wagon or no band wag-

Under the supervision of Ed Murphy.
Street Commissioner George Sanregret
has had crew Of men engaged in plac-
ing the new culverts and improving the
roads within the village limits.
All the culverts have been put in,
with the exception of two. One of
these will be placed on the cemetery
road when said road has been improved,
while the other will be placed on the
Bsraga road when it has been graded.
The men have leveled off the roads in
the village and cleaned them; they also
have cleaned all the drains 80 that there
will be no more overflows when heavy
rains come. The Bay Shore road has un-
dergone extensive changes for the bet
ter, and one would hardly think it was
the same highway after the improve
ments made.

FIGHT BY LAW AND ORDER.
Opponents Of Prohibition Organizing
In Michigan. Led by j.
Earle Brown.

An organization called the Law and
Order league is being formed in many
of the dry counties Of Michigan. The
league, its leader Attorney j. Earle
Brown of st. Johns, reports that it is
drawing into its membership the busi-
ness and manufacturing interests who
see in it a powerful weapon for COM
mercial betterment at home.
The league men state its purposes
primarily is the rigid enforcement of
the new Warner-Crampton liquor laws,
the elimination Of the Objectionable
features of the saloon trade and the
placing Of the option issue squarely be-
fore the public. That there is pur-
pose going enough further back Of
these to include the resubmission of the
option question in the "dry" counties
and the reopening of the campaigns
therein with any old prejudices or bias
coned down and left out is more than q
probability.
In st. Johns, county seat of Clinton,
where the Law and Order league had
birth, there seems to be a feeling
among its members that the coming
election is certain to switch the county
back to the ''wet" list again. When
this comes, says the league men, it Is
their purpose to compel the saloons to
be 80 run that never again in future
option elections will the feeling Of pref
udice engendered because of individual
saloon conduct be q factor in the gen.
eral result. "The feeling against the
saloon will be wiped out." they say.
League leaders add that business de-
preston and increasing taxes have
made certain new option elections next
spring in Oseeola, Wexford, Midland
and Oakland counties, all of which
the new organization is being or has
been organized and is taking an ac-
tive part in directing sentiment.
Loss of business, empty stores,
comparatively deserted streets and an
amazing increase in taxes have insured
local option election next spring for
Osceola county, which went dry in
the spring of 1908" says Law and
Order man of Reed City. A branch of
the Law and Order league is already
being organized there.
Men who favor another option cleo
tion in Wexford county declare that
their taxes have been increased 81 1-2
per cent under local option prohibi-
tion. There, too, Law and Order
league has been organized to enforce
the laws. It's leaders say that in 1907,
when the county was under high II
cense system, the taxes aggregated
$21, 900. In October, 1908, when the
county was ''dry," the tax budget
was raised to as, 157. %, including an
item of $40, 100 which was not in the
tax budget of 1907.
The nucleus of an organisation which
has for its object strict control Of the
liquor business has been formed by
business and professional men in Mid
land county, who say they wish to pre-
pare themselves that they will be able
toprevent any riotous or even noisy time
II the drys should happen to be beaten
next spring.
The Pontiac Law and Order league
seems to be working in conjunction with
those persons who are now actively an
gagged in securing signatures to . petit
tion to the board Of supervisors to sub
NIT the question Of local option prohibi-
tion to the voters next spring.

Patrick's Peculiar Plea
ALREADY LEGALLY DEAD
Convicted Murderer Says He Has
Undergone the Death
Penalty.

New York, Nov. 29.-Albert T. Pat
rick, whose sentence of death for the
murder of William Marsh Rice was
committed to life Imprisonment at Sing
Sing, appeared today before the appel
late division of the supreme court in
Brooklyn to argue that within the law
he had already suffered death and thus
had paid his debt to the state in full
and should be set free.
Patrick contends that the solitary
confinement preceding eiectrocution had
been held by the United States supreme
court to be part of the penalty decreed
in the death sentence. He served that
time in full, and now makes the point
that when the court of appeals reaf-
hrmed the decision of the court of con
victiOn and set a new date for execu-
ton, il transgTessed his constitutional
right in ordering him to serve another
period of solitary confinement, thereb
duplicating a punishment he had al
ready suffered. The failure of the war
den to electrocute in compliance with
the first order of the court, argues Pat
rick, constitutes an act of nOnfeasance.
Patrick was not ready to proceed with
his argument today and at his request
the matter was adjourned to Thursday
of this week.

Bellinghan, WASH, Nov. 59.-Two steel
railway and three wagon bridges across
the Nooksaek river have been carried
away within the last twenty-fOur hours
entailing $1,000 loss. The Bellingham Gay
& British Columbia bridge at Eversole is
said to be undermined and swaying
When it goes out it will carry a wagon

A jam is forming against the Great

During the last IS hours the rainfall has
been 2.S7 inches
Railway traffic is almost completely
blocked by slides and washouts. Belling-
ham has had but one train today, that
from the south at noon. The Northern
Pacific and Bellingham Bay & British
Columbia roads are completely tied up.
More than five miles of the Northern Pa
cific track is under water. The Skagit
branch of the Great Northern is out of
commission.
Winkler Hamilton and Lyman are IN
der water. Two miles of track are gone.
The Puget Sound & Baker River Railway
tracks are washed out.
There is no hope that the Skagit river
dykes will hold. If they break the Great
Northern main line will be covered and
the whole Skagit delta will be under
water.

LONG CONFERENCE At
EXECUTIVE MANSION
Administration Decides Upon Re-
vision of the Interstate
Commerce Law.

Washington, Nov 29-FOllowing a
lengthy conference at the White House
today, II was announced tonight that
the administration will exert all it's in
fiuence toward securing a comprehen-
siye revision of the interstate com
merce law by the incoming congress. A
rough draft of the proposed amend
ments to the law was submitted by At
torney General Wickersham.
The president had as his advisers the
attorney general, Commissioner Lane of
the interstate commerce commission
and Senators Elkins and Cummins.
Frank B. Kellogg, special trust bust
err" of the department of justice, and
Secretaries Wilson and Dickinson also
gave their views.
While the president has not yet made
his selection of the men in congress who
VIII be entrusted with the task of put
ting the legislation through, there are
said 10 be a large number of candidates
anxious for the honor of appearing as
champions of the White House.
Senator Elkins renewed his sugges-
lions that the best way to encourage
American shipping would be TO enact a
law giving a reduction of per cent in
Customs duties on all imported goods
brought into the United States in
American bottoms.
This would not only build up Ameri-
can shipping. but would be a reduction
downward in duties" said Senator
Elkins.

DENVER Church TROUBLE
Father ]. P. Carrigan Exeommuni-
Gated, but His Sister Has Mort
gage on st. Patrick's.

Denver, Nov. 29.-For the first time since
the inception of the trouble between
Bishop n. c. Matt and Father ]. p. Car
rigan, of st. Patrick's church, which re-
suited in the reading OF a formal letter
of eXcommupnicatiOn of Father Carrigan,
in the churches of the diocese yesterday,
Bishop Matz today made a public state
ment.
The letter from me read in the
churches of Denver yesterday does not
alter the status OF Father Carrigan in any
way" said Bishop Matz, but it publicly
informs the communicates of the Catho-
lie churches that ne is outside the pale.
They have been able to make the ex-
cuse that they had not been notified and
that all they knew they CLEANED from the
newspapers. But now they know it from
me and it is matter for their own con-
sciences"
In view of he difficulties between
Bishop Matz and Father Carrigan, which
now appear to be approaching a climax
significance attaches to the mortgage
which has been given Mrs. Ellen O'Ne1l
on St. Patricks church property. Mrs
O'Neil is the sister of Father Carrigan,
and from her he borrowed 500 at 8 per
cent interest to pay eff the Indebtedness
on the new church building. The trans
action ties up the property even if Bishop
Matz secures judgment at Rome against
the priest

Conspiracy to Aid Alien Contract La
borers to Come. Here Punish
able Under the Law.

Washington, Nov. 29.-That the govern
ment of the United States through GRIM
inal proceeding should punish persons who
conspire TO aid alien contract iabOTers to
come into the United States contrary to
the immigration law, was held by the Su-
preme court Of the United states today
in the prosecution of Tilden B. Steven
son and Amede Bellaire.
The men were indicted in the United
States district court in that city on the
charge of aiding in the immigration of
aliens who were under contract to labor
in this country.
At the trial of the men the court found
that while the law made a misdemeanOr
of the offense, it did not provide for any
punishment Of it except by recovery for
damages through d civil suit Holding
that a civil action would be exclusive Of
any other proceedings, the court dismissed
the case.
The government appealed to the SUI
pFeme court, with the result that it sue
ceeded in obtaining a reversal of the de-
cision OF the lower courts.
