For the Sake of the "stsp- kind

The president sat alone in his pri-
vate office. Without. a cold. drizzling
rain had been falling all afternoon
within, the room was dreary, and the
gloom of the day was reflected in the
presidents face. All day long dis
couraging reports had been coming in
of officers incompetency, of yet an
other battle, with even more than
usual killed and wounded-and still no
prospect of ending this cruel war.
President Lincoln's face wore an ex
preston of ineffable sadness-the bur
den of the great work which he had
undertaken seemed greater than he
could bear. 1t was not alone the

BEAN JOBBERS WANT
TARIFF RETAINED

Michigan Bean Jobbers who are
holding their annual convention In the
Hotel Cadillac, are worrying over the
tariff more than anything else. This
duty is 45 cents per bushel AT present,
and the Michigan dealers say that II
is necessary import, without which
the producer and dealer would both
find themselves very seriously incon.
venienced by. foreign competition.
Only four states in the union raise
beans TO any extent, these being Mich
igan. Wisconsin, New York and Call
fornia. There are about 800 plants for
handling and cleaning beans in Michi-
gan and the investment in the bust.
ness is large, while about 100000
acres OF Michigan land are used In
raising beans.
Despite the tariff, more than 1000
900 bushels OF beans were imported
last year The Michigan crop is worth
approximately S12,000,00 per year.
There are about 100 jobbers present
at the convention. Mayor Breitmeyer,
George T. Moody and Thomas o..
Craig made welcoming speeches.

The presidents letter follows:
Ny Dear Sir--I have appointed
YOU as member OF the commits
sion to consider certain needs or
the navy. The organization OF the
department Is now not such as to
bring the best results, anu there
il failure to coordinate the work
of the bureaus and to make the
department serve the one end for
which il was created, that is, the
development and handling of
first-class fighting fleet. With
this proposition in view, | will ask
you 10 consider:
|. All defects in the law under
which the navy department Is
now organized, including especial
Is the defects by which the au-
thority OF chiefs of bureaus Is
made in certain respects practic-
ally equal to that OF the secretary
OF the president
.. The division OF responsible
ity and consequent lack OF coor-
dination in the preparation for war
and conduct Of war.
g. The functions OF certain bu-
reaus, so as TO see whether II is
not possible 10 consolidate them.
A. The necessity OF providing
the secretary OF the navy with
military advisers, who are respon-
sible to him for co-ordlnating
the work of the bureaus and for
preparation for war.
g. The necessity for economical
allotment and disbursement OF APP
preparations and for system
which will insure strict account
ability.
O. Finally, / want your views as
TO how best TO recognize and en-
phasize the strictly military char
acter OF the navy so that prepar-
alton for war shall be controlled
under the secretary by the mill
tary branch of the navy. which
bears the responsibility for the
successful conduct OF war opera.

First. as to the fundamental
principles of an organization that

Second. specific recommends

In addition to the above reports

That Divining-Rod Mystery,

The enthusiasm with which men
have written to disprove and discred-
it the claims of those who relate
successful experiences with the d.
vining-rod, for the finding Of hidden
underground springs, has served to
create a rather unusual interest in
the subject. 1t is somewhat like
shaking a red rag at bull to raise
the subject again, before the heat of
a recent discussion has fairly cooled,
but a new theory and a new account
of success have come together from
France, both of which are worth re-
laring.
That springs are actually found,
and with surprising frequency by
men who use the divining-rod is a
fact that cannot be disputed. But
whether it is the rod or Their man that
finds the spring is the open question.
The Frenchmen claim that the man is
the sensitive medium through which
the unexplained influence works,
while the rod is but a means of ex
preston which shows the effect. Both
observers and workers with the rod
state that only those to whom the
gift is given naturally can hope to
succeed with the divining of springs,
and claim that the criticism and rid
'icule that is turned upon them is
due to the fact Of failures where the
gift is absent. From "Divining- RI d

The reports that come from Crit
