has met with an enthusiastic reception
everywhere. so much So in fact. that
this race is certain TO divide interest
with the junior collegiate race. which
heretofore has been the feature Of the
regatta.
1t is impossible TO state at present

will be up to the usual standard And
with an exceptional list Of college ami

the regatta will make a new hilh wa

1t is at present too early TO make
any predictions as to the probable re-
suit of this race. Yale has won Il
twice. and the ease with which the
Yale youngsters defeated the Pennsyl-
wants juniors recently has led the
Yale men to expect a repetition.
This belief is further strengthened
because Of the fact that Yale has won

portrait of Cyrus Hall Mccormick will be IN
yelled by Miss Muriel Mccormick, the grand
daughter of the distinguished inventor. This
year is the hundredth anniversary of the birth of
Cyrus Hall Mccormick and he had one of his
early machines at work when he was only
twenty-five years of age. Agriculture owes
more to Cyrus Hall Mccormick and to such men
as he, than it can ever repay and it is a very
wise and proper thing on this hunaredth ami
versary of his birth for the agricu!turists Of the
state Of Illinois, where he did most of his inven-
tive work. 70 honor his memory as they are

The Romance of The Reaper.

The invention of the reaper by Cyrus Hall
Mccormick first revolutionized agriculture in
the United States and then throughout the en-
tire world. Many of our older men recall the
days Of their boyhood. when wheat was cut
with the cradle and threshed with the old fash
Toned fail. The Virginian, Cyrus Hall McCor-
mick, began the solution of the problem of
harvesting the grain crops of the country with a
mechanical device and horse power about 1880.
He struggled with the problem for many years
and finally succeeded and the Mccormick har-
vesting machines, while they have many excel
lent competitors, are at present among the best
in the world.
Up to the outbreak of the civil war the more
elementary forms Of the reaper were in use and
then the improvements of the machines became
rapid, because Of the loss of the hundreds of
thousands Of young men from the ranks of the
harvest laborers in the Western states. When
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS occurred in Philadelphia
in 1876 the industrial world was startled to see
how advanced the mechanism was then. At
that time the complete harvesting machines had
been perfected and wire was used for the bind
ing, This was an objection raised at the time
and a few years thereafter binder Irvine came
generally into use and we have the splendid
harvesting machines perfected as now.
Cyrus Hall Mccormick was the pioneer in all
this work and the commissioners Of the Illinois
Farmers Hall Of Fame will on Wednesday. De-
cennber Is, at the College of Agriculture of the
University OF Illinois, install in the Hall of Fame
the name Of Cyrus Hall Mccormick. The cere-
monies will be conducted at the memorial hall
OF the College of Agriculture at Urbana, Illinois.
An elaborate programme has been formulated
and addresses will be made by Gov. Deneen of
Illinois and quite a number. of the most dis
m&cished agricultgiats in the country. The

pronounced success thus far.
We scarcely think that the
Chicago banks will follow Sen
ator Aldrich's lead, as Chicago
has repeatedly shown its Won
derful capacity to resist the pan
les that have developed in New
York. Chicago did not suspend
payment during the panic OF
1873, when all the rest Of the
country had suspended. Let us
have no central bank to dOml-
nate the finances Of the country
and to sustain in their hours OF
need such men as Rockefeller
and Hartman, who want all the
money and complain that the
West stands as borrowers from
the East, even though the re-
verse may be the case.

Some Pure Democracy.

THAT there is a stratum Of pure democracy
underlying the intelligence Of the thinking men
/, Of the country is evidenced by the fact that at
/ a recent banquet in New York of the National
| Civic Federation Senator Eiihu Root was one of
the speakers and unhesitatingly took the ground
that in order to maintain the highest national
civic conditions it was necessary to MAINTAIN
the rights of the various states OF the union,
excepting as they were specifically relegated to
the central government. Mr.. Root stated that
our country is too large, it's interests too great
and complicated to place all of it's legislation
under the control of a central government and
we are left to infer that he was in favor OF re-
pressing that tide of Capitalization that seems
to have obscured the senses Of our W demo-
Gratis and to practically sway the present repub-
lican party. When we. think that the governor
of our own state a few years back joined in a
national convention to do away with, or restrict
the powers of the state guarantees; that he
urged and consumated the sale of our own Mis-
sissippi River quarantine station and that he So
licited the federal intervention into the health
affairs of the city of New Orleans, placing the
same in the hands of a comparatively inex-
perienced medical man of the y. S. Service, we
can see how men of our W democratic faith
are sometimes led astray and peril the founda-
tons of our government which are based upon
the theory of one great republic composed of a
federation of minor republics.
1t seems absurd to require the Puritans of
New England, the Germans Of Ohio and Mis-
souri,, the French of Louisiana and the Scandi-
navians of the Northwest to all live and abide
by the same legislation. 1t is better to make
our vast population of various origins into one
homogeneous people by means Of our common
language, by intercourse between the states,
and by state education and without any state
religion, all as laid down by the fathers of our
government. Senator Root, when he came to
the test in New York before the National Civic
Federation, enunciated just as good democratic
doctrine as the Supreme Court of the United
States does whenever such cases come before
it. The Supreme Court endeavOrs to do what
is right and in common opinion it has done it,
excepting under the stress of the issues of the
civil war, when by packing the courts Hayes
was made president, paper money was made a
legal tender and the income tax was declared
constitutional.
1t is a pity that so many of our most intelli-
gent democrats fail to recognize the gradual in
vasion of the rights of the people of the states
by the central government and to recognize the
resistance to this invasion as the cardinal doc
trine of the democratic party, rather than to
run off into side issues as how revenues shall be
secured by the federal government; how tariff
taxes shall be levied and on what commodities.

MAXWELL FISHER
LEAVES FORTUNE
Wealth of Aged Detroiter Who
Passed Away Is Estimated
At 100000.

Maxwell Nj. Fisher, aged So. one OF
the Oldest and wealthiest residents OF
Detroit, Is dead N his home. No. ga
Woodward-aye. Death followed years
OF illness and was not unexpected.
Mr.. Fisher was born in New Jersey
in 1924 His parents were poor, and
at the age of 90 he started for the
rapidly growing west, landing In De-
troit after many hardships. with less
than a dollar in his pocket. For two
years he followed his trade as a
mason; then he became a contractor
and builder, forming partnership
with his brother. which later developed
into one of the biggest firms OF its
kind in the city.
Always OF a saving disposition. Mr..
Fisher boarded his earnings. About
this time the lumber industry was de-
veloping rapidly, and he saw the splen-
did chance for Investment. This busi-
ness also fiourished, and for years he
was one OF the largest dealers In the
state.
After retiring from the lumber bust
ness Mr.. Fisher returned 10 Detroit
and went into the brokerage business
with E. G.. Booth and David G. Pres
ton. This business was continued for
Is years, and the three partners made
fortunes. He retired from active busi-
ness life in 1881. In 1904 he was
stricken with paralysis, and since then
had been almost helpless.
Mr.. Fishers wealth is estimated at
81, 900, 5000. He once owned the pres
ent site OF the Majestic building and
the Wright. Kay & Co. corner. He
also owned some fine residence prop
erty on Woodward-ave.
Mr.. Fisher was married four times
His first wife, to whom he was united
more than so years ago, died over SO
years ago. His second wife also died.
He was divorced from the third, and
the fourth survives. He leaves one
son. Albert c. Fisher. who resides on
farm near Bloomfield.
The advent OF a baby in the Fisher
home was the cause of bitterly con-
tested lawsuit about two years ago.
People were astonished when the an
nouncement was made that there was
a babe in the Fisher home, and the
heirs at once took steps TO see thar
the baby was cut OF from any share
in the Fisher estate. II came out later
that the child was adopted. and Mrs.
Fisher said that IL would be no claim
ant through her for a part OF the prop
erty. About this time Albert Fisher
filed a petition in the probate court,
asking that his father be placed under
care OF a guardian. This was done
and since then the Union Trust Co.
has managed the estate.
The funeral Monday afternoon is
private
