go on tour. 70 the far west to Alaska,
or elsewhere, at any expense whatso-
ever, and Uncle Sam cheerfully pays
the bill. All this vast authority is
freely accorded by the senate to its
committees, and these men, in turn,
are responsible to the senate for the
findings In the case. Money Is spent
in committee work by the tens OF
thousands. by the hundreds OF thou
sands, if necessary, and there are no
questions asked; and then, as rule,
such is the confidence OF the senate In
the report of the committee that the
adoption of the report formulated into
law becomes largely matter of form.
A National Leader
II the Office of senator were as mar
row as some of us who do not under
stand are wont to say, 1t would not
make great deal of difference how
large or how small man Michigan
had in Office; young college student
might show more zeal than an older
man; could put on more steam; but,
the question is, what would it all
amount to?
The United States is ruled by ex-
perts in legislation, who. in turn, do
their best work in committee meet
ings, and not on the floor of the SEN
ate 1t is Senator Burrows vast eX-
perience in national affairs that lends
lustre TO the state of Michigan. 1t has
taken thirty-five years of long labor for
Michigan to arrive at the proud place
she now holds in the affairs of the ma
ton; and she should keep in the sen
ate her ablest. purest, foremost and
best qualified man. The question is
not to honor the man or the locality
but to honor all the men OF the state
the state itself, and the nation. And
through the long services OF Senator
Burrows Michigan is at last standing
with the states that have power and
renown In national councils. He is the
best informed man in Michigan's ma
tional legislative life. and for upwards
OF thirty-five years has been uninter
uptedly in Washington. achieving
there record for long and honorable
services never paralleled by any other
Michigan man, living or dead.

The Fear of Thirteen.

The fearful grip which this number
IL superstition continues to have upon
the hearts Of men and women In all
walks of life is incomprehensible. says
o. S. Marden, in Success Magazine.
Yet every intelligent person knows
that nothing in this world can possibly
take place without a cause, and that
the cause must be sufficient to pro-
duce an effect. The most ignorant per-
son, 1t would seem, should know that
the arbitrary number, 13, has no more
power to produce any effect, to cause
any calamity, than a drop of ink. The
fact that the ink or paint, instead of
being in the shape of a round drop. is
put into the form of the numeral 13.
does not add any force or power to 1t.
A drop Of ink or paint on the door of a
hotel room would have just as much
power to produce harm as it would II
formed into the figure 13.
