He states that the ingredients can be

s1.6S1a per 100 pounds ON sugar SO
per cent pure.
That selfishness was behind the
free sugar cry was indicated by the
business connections, and even by
the frank admissions of its agita-
tors. For instance, one OF the
Spreckels in advocating free sugar,
admitted under a fire of questions
by Mr.. Fordney that he owns a big
plantation in Cuba and that he is
now shipping large quantities OF sug-
ar into America from Cuba. Under
the treaty with Cuba his sugar comes
in at about $3.50 per hundred, but
even this lower duty counts up to an
astonishing aggregate.
For the purposes of the Cuban
plantation owners free trade and an
nexation are about equal Either
one would give them free entry into
American markets. And the delicacy
of this situation, it is understood,
furnishes the reason why Mr.. Ford
ney, with his tariff ideas, does not
seek to put an end to that treaty.
The Saginaw statesman knows well
enough that this government may
put an end to that sugar agreement
any time after proper notice. But to
do that, he fears, would precipitate
the most serious consequences, pos
sibly even annexation. II, that dis
elimination is removed it is the fear
of those interested in the beet sugar
industry that there will be a great
American made demand for annexa-
ton which cannot be resisted.
The Cuban situation is already
sufficiently difficult and uncertain.
Many observers at the capital, with
out private interests at stake, freely
express the belief that it is only a
matter Of time. when Uncle Sam will
group of wealthy disconnected Amer
leans with heavy interests in the is
land, could go far toward precipitat-
ing the end of an independent Cuban
republic.
With this treaty situation in mind,
as well as the whole question of tar
iff on sugar. Mr.. Fordney has care
fully reviewed the official expressions
of Gov. Magoon about conditions in
Cuba. He was greatly impre ssed
with Magoon's straightforward dec
that among the Cubans
there is even aversion to annexation,
TO say nothing of an ardent desire for
it. The annexation sentiment, so
Mr.. Fordney CLEANS from Magoon's
statement, originates entirely with |
the Americans interested in the is
land whose chief interest is to dodge |
that duty on sugar.

It Is related in Stewart Edward
Whites book, The Mountains," that
once upon time II msu happered to
be staying in hotel room whicn had
originally been part OF Il suit, but
which was then cut off from the 9TH
ers by only a thin door, through which
sounds carried clearly.
II was about il o'clock when the
occupants of that next room came
home. The man heard the door open
and close. Then the bed shrieked aloud
as somebody fell heavily upon It,

Governor Warner is much interest
ed in the legislative agitation relative
to doing away with contract labor IL
the prisons of the state. He says be
does not agree with some of the pro
visions which Rep. Clarken has in
cluded in his bill, among them the
clause prohibiting competition in the
open market with any manufactured
product. 1t is the governors idea
only such articles as are not manu-
featured in the state, particularly
those manufactured by trust.
81 believe the binding Irvine plant
could be- enlarged to manufacture
various kinds of cordage and u plant
TO manufacture grain bags might be
installed. Either Of those would not
interfere with Michigan mapufac-
turers and the prisons could be made
selfsupporting. | find that the bind
ing twine manufactured last year
was sold in 63 counties. being ship
ped to 323 points, which shows that
it was well distributed by the
per cent than we could Another
thing we did not lose dollar out OF
the $4,000 worth sold last year.
This year we will manufacture about
S250,000 worth of Irvine. The total
output will be about 100000
pounds. A report which / secured
the first of the year showed that we
had about 100000 pounds on hand
at that time. Another report shows
that the revolving fund used for
buying material is about $4,000
larger than it was last year, that be-
ing the profit account. ! think that
with an investment of about $4,000
we can increase the output so per
cent.
There was paid to the so prison
ers employed in the plant bonus OF
about $1,000, in accordance with the
law which provides that they shall
receive 10 per cent OF the profits.
The superintendent of the plant
states that the men work well in the
binding Irvine shop and it seems to
him that they turn out as much Irvine
as in the open shops
Before the session ends there will
be keen contest over the question
Of whether the contract system shall
be abandoned. At present theer is
a considerable number of legislators
in favor of doing this. Just what
will be the result no one is forecast
ing at present. There are several
contracts in force at one or the 9th
er prisons which have three or five
years to run. Among prison men
Fuller of Ionia is the strong
est advocate OF the contract system.

oWOssO, MICH, MARCH 49, 1909
President Roosevelt.

President Roosevelt retires from
office hated by few, loved and adj
nired by the many.
The reason for these opposed feel
ing5 is one and the same. The
many admire him for the policies
he has represented and successfully
carried forward. The few hate him
for these same policies.
His opponents sometimes pretend
that it is because OF his methods and
personal qualities-rashness inn
petuousness, violence-that they
hate him. They merely strive to
conceal the true reason. On the 9TH
er side, it is sometimes said that his
followers have become attached to
him because of personal spectacular
qualities, because of his war enthu-
siaSm, his athletic prowess, his love
OF sports, his advertising ability.
This also is merely an attempt at
concealment of the truth
The policies which the President
has made his own are partly embod-
led in legislation. but to still larger
ex0ant they appear as yet only in
programmes of legislation to be en-
acted In his relation to these poll
aies, disregarding trivial phases, two
great characteristics of the man
stand out boldly One is his almost
unfejling political rightness The
other is his absolutely untarnished
personal integrity.
The political Brightness of the
President is the marvel of the dec
AIDE. He has not only given express
sion TO the great social needs of the
nation when he has advanced care
fully framed policies, studied out in
detail with the aid OF the best pro-
greSSiye leaders in our politics, but
even when he has struck some rock
IN casual passing he has made social
truth leap out from it.
His integrity has stood most bit-|
Ter assaults, most determined inves-
sigations, from the side OF his enc
mics. Not one blemish has been put
upon it, though every resource to
ahat end has been exhausted.
Since the fall election one occa-
SionalIy hears it said that President
Roosevelt's popularity has been rap
5dly declining, that he does not have
the support OF the country now as IN
she past.
It is our belief that there never
was moment when so many Ameri-l
aans so heartily followed, atmired |
and loved the President as follow,
xdmins and love him now that he is
laying down the power of Office.
II is the good fortune of the people
az the United States that the next
President will be one in thorough |
and complete sympathy with the
public work of Theodore Roosevelt.

One hundred years ago next Aug
ust the first printing press in the
northwest territory was installed in
Detroit. The anniversary is to be
observed at the meeting of the State
Pioneer and Historical society,
which will be held June 9 and 10 in
the capitol at Lansing.
At recent meeting OF the Michi-
gan Press association In Flint a COM
mittee was appointed to work with
the society in the preparation of a
program for one of the sessions
which will be devoted entirely to
the celebration of the first publica-
ton of a newspaper in this state.
The committee Is composed of Perry
Powers of Cadillac; Joseph Greusel,
Detroit; Henry r. Pattengill, Lans-
ing; Lawton T. Hemans, Mason;
John T. Winship, Saginaw 1t is
probable that the committee will Sc
cure the presence of one of the lead
ing editors of the northwest at that
time for an address.
Newspapers in the state will prob
ably give prominence to the CEN
tenary of the first newspaper and
the celebration may become wider
than mere professional celebration.
The celebration will be an indirect
tribute to Father Gabriel Richard,
who was probably the importer of
the printing press which gave to the
territory the Michigan Essay and

first school book published in the
northwestern country, THE Child's

VOLCANOES.

what Gre volcanoes?"
Nine Que of every ten persons would
Immediately have an answer of some
sort to the question above, for have
they not Il lively remembrance of hav.
ing learned in their schoolbooks tina:
"a volcano is Il burning mountain. from
the summit Of which are sent out smoke
and flames?' This popular fancy has
been exploded by scientists, whose
work. is TO explode popular fancics.
In the first place, volcanoes are not
necessarily mountains. In reality they
are just tie reverse-that is, holes In
the earth's crust. Out of these are
thrown the materials which, accumu-
lating, form the heaps which we popu
larly call mountains.
These are. then, the result and not
the cause of the action. Neither are
they burning" as we understand the
term. There Is no combustion nor
any action we might reasonably cal!
burning"
The action need not necessarily take
place at the summit, for eruptions are
Just as frequent at the sides or even
at the base. The so called smoke" is
nothing more or less than the clouds
OF condensing steam which are formed
on every occasion when an eruption
occurs.
Lastly. the "fames,' so called, are
merely the reflection of the mass OF
molten rock and material inside the
crater on the clouds OF steam above,
thus appearing as glowing light. The
friction, too. set up Ivy the motion Of
the materials causes electricity. and
hence the lightning discharges which
add to the Illuminating enfect.-Pear-
