was one Of those Founders who curry
favor with the faculty and the popular
boys and never break rules apparently,
but go Off and have sly little bats by
themselves. He never was popular,
yet somehow, he got into things; he
knew where to lend money; and he
was simply sickeningly clever; in
math. he was a wonder. Ralph hated
him. For one thing, he caught him In
dirty lie Atkins hated him back
and contrived to prevent his being
elected class president, and when he
couldn't prevent Ralph's making his
senior society the happy thought
struck Atkins to get on the initiation
committee. They had CHEEKY little
branding game to make the fellows
quite sure they belonged, you know,
and he rammed his cigar stump into
Ralph's arm so that Ralph had blood
poisoning and narrow squeak for his
life. You see that I'm not prepos>
sessed in the fellows favor. He's got
too vivid an imagination for me-"

rather soured. Some of the fellows

had notion that the reason 1t was
such up hill work for him in the school
was his fathers trade. No doubt he
did get nasty ticks at first; and he's
revengful. He hasn't got on in society
outside, either-this he lays to his not
being a university man. You see his
father lost some Of his money and put
him to work instead of IN college. He
was willing enough at the time-l
think he wanted to get married-but
afterward, when he was getting a good
salary and piling up money on his tips,
he began to think that he had lost
more than he had bargained for. AL
together, he's soured. Now, what he
wants Is to make laundering big
strike and to pull out Of Wall street,
buy what he calls a seat on the
James and set up for southern gen
tleman. He's trying to marry south

Carriers and the Byrds and the Lees

she's Mrs. Winters secretary"
"Does-does she care for him?" The
colonel suddenly felt his mouth
parched; he was savagely conscious of
his mounting color. What a 1endish
trick of fate! he had never dreamed
of this! Well, whether she cared for
him or not, the man was brute; he
shouldn't get her. That was one GER
tainty in the colonels mind.

Root Tells New York Legislature tle
is AGAINST Direct Primaries.

Albany, N Y, Jan. S0.-Senat or-
Elect Elihu Root has declared war
upon Governor Hughes direct primar-
les legislation, pledged himself to be
the antithesis of the governor in that

ers, announced unalterable opposition
to the executive usurpation of the pow
ers of the legislature, defended the
proposition that the states have quite
az many rights as the nation, and
placed himself unequivocally on rec
ord for parcels post.
The empire state leader addressed
his observations to the entire legisa-
ture and spectators who damned the
floor and galleries of the assembly
chamber. Acting President Raines of
the senate, and Speaker Wadsworth. as
we'll as Lieutenant Governor White,
who have united to defeat not only the
Hughes direct nominations but The
governors Massachusetts, ballot prop
ositions, were elated by the attacks of
the new senator.
There were cheers when Mr. Root
exclaimed:
81 am opposed to the direct election
of senators, as l am opposed to the
initiative and referendum said Mr..
Root, because these things are based
on the idea that the people cannot elect
legislatures whom they trust.
They proceed on the idea of aban-
doning the attempt to elect trust
worthy and competent state legisla-
lures. But if you abandon that at
tempt, if you begin to legislate or 20
amend constitutions on that theory.
what becomes of all the other vast
powers of the state legislatures in
maintaining the system of local self
government under the constitution"
Mr.. Root pointed out what he De-
lieved We're two dangers due to the de-
velopment of this country. One he said
was the danger of the national govern
ment breaking down in it's effective
machinery thru the burdens that
threaten to be cast on it.

THE FUTURE OF ALASKA,
Openly Declares For Aid For the
Merchant Marine in His Seattle
Speech.

Speaking before the largest audience
he has faced since his trip began-a
crowd that overhowed the natural
amphitheater of the Alaska-Yukon-P Pa
cific exposition, with its seating ca
pacity of nearly 20,000-President Taft
Thursday announced that he would
urge in his coming message to con-
gress the enactment of a ship sub
sidy law. He declared that the coun-
try was ready to make such expert
ment, and that something must be
done to build up an American mer.
chant marine.
When the president turned to Alaska
and declared that he was opposed to
granting a territorial form of govern
ment to that far-off possession, the
statement was received I'm silence. AS
the president proceeded, however, and
outlined the policy for the upbuilding
of Alaska, of recommending govern
ment aid in the construction of rail-
roads, of a local government by a
commission of five or more members,
appointed by the president and CO
operating with the governor, and when
he told of the great possibilities that
lie in Alaska, he plainly caught the
favor OF his hearers and was loudly
cheered.
I'VE earn a profit from our foreign
mails of from $6,000,000 to $4,000. 0G0
year. The appropriation of that
amount would be quite sufficient to
put on satisfactory basis two or
three Oriental lines and several lines
from the east to South America. Of
course, We are familiar with the argu-
ment that this would be contribution
to private companies out of the treas
ury of the United States. but we are
thus contributing in various ways on
similar principles in effect, both by
our protective tariff laws, by our river
and harbor bills. and by our reclama-
ton service. We are putting money
into the pockets of ship owners, but
we are giving them money with which
they can compete for reasonable profit
only. with the merchant marine of the
world"
The president pointed out the peri
lous position of the United States in
the event of a foreign war, when we
should have to buy vessels from other
countries to use as GOLFERS for our
fieets-a proceeding which in view of
the international neutrality laws
would be exceedingly undesirable.

Peary Becomes Reticent.

An animated conference, lasting
nearly an hour. between Robert e.
Peary, the Arctic explorer, and Gen.
Thomas H. Hubbard, president of the
Peary Arctic club, was held in the
big train shed of the Union station.
Hubbard was on his way from Bar
Harbor to New York. Peary was at
the station TO meet Hubbard.
After a hearty shake of the hand,
the two men paced up and down the
train shed in earnest conversation.
At one of the pauses the explorer I'M
buttoned his navy blue sack coat and
from the inside pocket pulled forth
what appeared to be bulky white
envelope. Shortly after, he made sew.
eral notes on small piece of paper
and handed it to Hubbard. The gen
eral nut both into his inside pocket.
Finally the west-bound train began
to move. Hubbard grasped Peary's
hand cordially and, with a few words
OF parting, stepped aboard the ex-
press.
Il have no remarks to make" said
Peary, as he started to return to his
hotel. Hubbard and | had Just had
a very pleasant conference / do not
care to state what we talked about.

club intends TO make a public state.

PLUNGED into
THE OTHER WORLD
THE SUICIDE OF DR.. WEBSTER
WAS CAUSED BY SHORT
FINANCES.
WHERE DID MONEY GO?
The Association Which He Founded
Is Short Fourteen Thousand Dollars,
II Is Said.

The certainty that DR.. Alfred M.
Webster, of Grand Rapids, took his
own life when confronting exposure
of the fact that he was nearly $4,000
short in his accounts with the New
Era association, the benefit society
OF which he was founder and general
secretary, by no means dispels the
mystery surrounding his death.
The figures of the alleged shortage
are given by Examiner Englehart,
whose audit OF the association books
began shortly after the body of the
suicide was discovered in the New
Era offices. State Insurance Commits
sioner Barry was summoned from Lam
sing, and his statement supports that
of the examiner. The note left by
DR.. Webster is pointed to as an indi-
cation that his mind had been un-
balanced. In it he says:
81 have fought losing fight.
tried to allow no smirch on my good
name, but | could not have a home
while | was doing so. l fought graft
in higher places and all the powers
and principalities in the world were
against me. / have earned all | ever
got from the New Era, and more. /
have given honest service, but If there
is anything yet due | pay it now with
all my heart"
The associates of the dead man are
utterly unable to explain what became
of the money taken from the associa-
ton treasury. The new home, nearing
completion, that he was building
would not represent any heavy share
of the amount given, and Webster APP
parently was not given to any form of
dissipation or to squandering money
recklessly.
He had been twice married, his sec
ond wife being a girl of about IS
when he married recently. Two daugh-
tiers survive him, one being the wife
of G. S. MCGUIRE of Grand Rapids.
1t is stated by the company officers
that the shortage in Websters ac-
counts will in no way affect the asso-
citation or its policyholders. There is
enough money on hand in the local
banks to pay every claim and have
some $4,000 left over, 1t is said. Web
ster was, moreover, under bond and
was himself insured for $4,000 in the

MORE TROOPS.
The spanlards Find the Fierce Moors
Active Foemen.

ACTIVE Focmen.
Details OF the engagement fought
last week in Morocco between the
Spaniards and the Moors have been
received in Madrid. The Spaniards
lost a total of 235 men killed and
wounded, including Gen. Diez Vicario,
who lost his life. A single battalion
OF chasseurs. had 10 officers and so
men wounded. The Spanish expedi-
ton was accommodating in the direc-
ton of Sokel Jemis.
The Moors at first retired before
the Spanish advance, which was sus-
tanned by artillery but they gradually
reformed behind the heights of Ar
gan and Mont Million and when the
Spaniards entered the rocky defiles
below their position, where the horses
hardly could keep their footing, they
were attacked furiously. The column
under Gen Vicario, which was in the
advance, received orders TO retire and
the movement was being accom-
plished In good order under cover of
the field guns when Gen. Vicario was
shot dead and fell from his horse.
Gen. Tovar then took command and
after fierce fighting, the Moors were
beaten off. The entire expedition re-
tired to Zeluan.

The annual campaign for the max

Monday. The German-American fac
tory was the first to commence slic-

Bay City factories follow toward the
end of next week.
Beets give promise OF being the
best crop ever this year, from the
tests of those already placed in fac
tory sheds. The yield is large and
the sugar percentage heavy, so that
the farmers will reap good profits.
The local factories will pay out close
to $1,000,000 for beets.
