A Good Man Honorod.

The Republicans of the state honored
good man and an able judge yester-
day when they nominated the Hon.
John w. Stone of Marquette for the
supreme bench to succeed Justice
Claudius B. Grant. The result was
foreseen, as the reception throughout
the state of Judge Stones candidacy
had been most cordial, showing that he
is esteemed no less in lower Michigan
than in the upper peninsula, where he
has made his home for 80 many years
Another thing operating in his favor
has been the realization that it is the
part of wisdom to keep on the supreme
bench at least one man who comes from
northern Michigan. While the supreme
court is not sectional in its makeup, it
is no more than right that one member
should be chosen from this part of the
state, particularly as jurist familiar
with the class of litigation arising in
this region is equipped to render partic-
ularly valuable cooperation to his
colleagues.
Judge Stones work on the supreme
bench will be characterized by the same
well grounded knowledge of the law,
the same fair treatment of attorneys
and litigants and the same distinction
Of conduct that have earned for him
such high repute in the twenty fifth
judicial circuit, and the state will speed
lily come to know that the Republican
party made an excellent choice in hon.
oring him. Here in Marquette it will
be hoped that Judge Stones nomination
will be followed shortly by the passage
of the proposed bill to remove the re-
quirement that the supreme justices
take up their residence in Lansing.
Marquette and the upper peninsula
would like to retain Judge Stone as a
citizen, even if they have succeeded in
advancing him to higher judicial hon

The State Convention.

The outstanding feature of the Re-
publican state convention held in Grand
Rapids on Friday was the address of
VIM. M. Smith of st. Johns. While
some criticism was heard, and a speech
as outspoken as was this one always
brings forth opposition, there was a
general feeling that Mr.. Smith had done
the party good service by calling at
tention to the ever increasing rate of
state taxation and warning the party
that the people would not go on uncom.
planning forever
The ticket nominated, printed in
another column, is an exceptionally
strong one and worthy the support of
every voter. The resolutions adopted
were as follows;
1--WE are in hearty sympathy with
the demands for higher ideals in politi-
cal and business life, and demand the
strictest integrity on the part of pub
lie officials and business men.
1--WE believe that the future welfare
of the nation demands the conservation
of our natural resources; we are heart
lily in favor Of preserving our forests,
and favor changes in the tax laws that
will encourage individuals to re-forest
waste lands and maintain the present
forested area. %
I'VE favor the greatest economy in
state expenditures consistent with the
proper conduct of our state institutions.
1--WE congratulate the state of Michi-
gan upon It's great university its agri-
cultural college, and other institutions
of learning and ask that the high
standard of the past be maintained.
we renew allegiance to the princi
pie of protection, which has been the
cornerstone of Republicanism since the
the birth of the party.
I'VE repudiate the theory that, dele
gate representatives of an honest people
are less honest than the people they
represent, and we demand the continu.
ance of the conventions for conference
upon state and national policies, and for
the formation of platforms, outlining
party principles.

Free Tin and Sugar.

The National Gamers association

adopted resolutions favcring free sugar

formly the case that manufacturers
who are urgent in demanding that
their own raw materials be free-listed
arc equally strenuous in their opposi-
ton TO freeslisting or even reducing the
duties on imports that in any way com

The Gamers association is no exception
to this rule, for the proceedings of its
convention show no indication of will

Some remarkable stories are being

year being something more than FIVE
hundred tons, the average New York
price being $3.50 per box, in 1906 the
home production had swollen to 557, 900
tons, against imports of only tenth of
that amount, while the prices at Pitts

the home industry was established by
means of the protective tariff-and this,
too, despite the fact that block tin the
world over has risen materially. The
American Gamers are getting their
containers much cheaper today than
they would be paying but for the great
development of the domestic tinplate in
dustry, the consumption of tinplate hay

last IS years.
The sugar and tinplate duties are no
clog on the export trade in canned pro.

Kit Carson has been dime novel
hero for many years, something he
scarcely deserves. He was never a
killer or bad man. The best pictures
of him arc as one Of the gentlest of
men and as having rendered signal
service to his country. This is his ro-
mantle love story, with all the stirring
incidents which were accomplishments

himself and wife suffered hardships and
had shown their devotion TO each other
at the risk of their lives that they were
wed. Their story has been told before,

Kit Carson learns of this and matches

his Vaccinations, but is at last de-

mission and wins the hciress.
There is plenty of thrill of the good
old fashioned kind, plenty of action,
with all the love and comedy elements
in abundance. The piece is more than
melodrama. Around all the elements
which enter into melodrama the writer
has built drama that will live for
