Development Bureau Assured of Funds

The boards of supervisors of II OF
the 20 counties comprising western
Michigan, made appropriations at their
meetings held this month for carrying
on the development work. year age
the boards in but five counties made
such appropriations.
The increase in interest among the
supervisors is an effective testimonial
of the work being done by the West
ern Michigan Development bureau In
the six counties where the boards
failed to make provisions funds will
be raised by public subscription. In
most cases the counties that failed to
appropriate the work being done and
the methods being followed in ad-
vancing the interests OF the com
munity were not we'll understood by
the men comprising the several
boards. Without a doubt a year from
now every county falling in the terri
tory known as western Michigan will
meet the expenses of the work of
progress by suitable appropriations.
The Western Michigan Development
bureau is not two years old. yet it
has made the region that il Is adver-
Using fairly we'll known in all parts
of the United States. 1t has caused
thousands of people looking fer new

Bumper Crop of Potatoes in U. p.

The potato crop in upper Michigan
is a record breaker this year, not
only in respect to size but in quail
ity. The yield runs all the way from
100 bushels to the acre in dry and
neglected soil to several times that
quantity in highly cultivated grounds.
Small garden patches In favored To-
calities have produced at the rate Of
800 bushels per acre. Potatoes weigh
Ing two to three pounds each have
been dug from many fields. The largest
single crop OF which there is record at
present is $4,000 bushels harvested
from a tract of 100 acres in Alger
county. Naturally prices are not hold
ing as well as farmers would like. The
prevailing price now is 80 cents, with
some likelihood of drop to 40 cents
and possibly even below that figure. A
great many farmers arc reluctant to
sell at this time, however, and they
will carry the bulk of their harvest
until mid-winter In the hope that pos
sible crop shortages in other regions
will createNa strong demand for the
upper Michigan product.

lord ROSEBERY'S PLAN.

The outlines of the promised plan OF
Lord Rosebery for reconstruction of
the House of Lords are now disclosed
with sufficient clearness. They comprise
three general principles, logically con-
nGcted.
The first is that there should be a
strong and efficient second chamber of
some kind, having the requisite ability
of mind and experience to participate in
national legislation and also suitable au-
thority and power. 1t will generally be
held, we think, that the past and present
experience of the world strongly con
firms this proposition.
The second point is that such
chamber in the United Kingdom is best
to be obtained through reconstruction OF
the existing House of Lords. 1t will
scarcely be disputed, at any rate, that
the House of Lords contains a consider
able number of men who are well fitted
by character, attachments and expert
ence to serve the nation i'll such a second
chamber, and who, indeed, under the
present political system could serve as
legislators nowhere else.
The third point is that if the House
of Lords is TO be transformed into such
a chamber the task should be performed
Oh the basis of merit rather than OF
prmOgeniture That is to say, the
hereditary feature of the House Oh Lords
should he abolished so that while every
member might stin be peer no man
would be Il member simply because he
vas Il peer Every member might of
necessity be a peer, but every peer
would not Of right be 81 member. There
can be no doubt that the adoption of
that principle would remove one of the
grayest objections TO the House of Lords
as at present constituted.
This plan of Lord Rosebery's is the
outcome of years Of investigation, study
and reflection by one of the most ac-
cOmpliShed British statesmen of our
time. 1t would command attention be-
cause of its eminent authorship entirely
apart from its intrinsic merits. Il would
also, we think, if brought to general
notice command serious consideration
because of its reasonable character, in
dependently of its authorship. 1t will
probably form, therefore, the basis of
exceedingly interesting discussions in
Parliament and i'll the British press, if
not, indeed. of epoch making constitu-
tiODal changes.

THE DAY OF REST.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Your editorial of this morning head
ed The Day of Rest Demand hardly
takes into account ali factors of the prob
lem. Tho argument for one day OF rest
in each week has much TO support it, but
to assume that this must needs be- the
same day for all Is to beg very impor-
tant question. 1t is a human tendency, TO
which the persistence iii history of a thou
sand preposterous and often pernicious
customs bears unpleasant witness, 10 seek
uniformity, despite the fundamental pre-
cept of biology that organic evolution
signifies the progress from homogeneity
toward heterogeneity. That every worker
should have one day of rest each week is
reasonable demand. and capable of being
carried into effect. but that this day should
be identical with all is most unreasonable
and impractcable.
The compulsory observance of It day Sc
lected mainly from the concident tact that
II is already held sacred for religious rea
sons by large portion of the community
implicitly gives state sanction To their par
ticular religious views, and thus throws the
OF tho propaganda of their views and
against the views of other citizens. whose
right TO tho neutrality of the state in mat
ters ot religion Is unimpeachabe Ii is a
phase OF tho union of Church and State.
and as such cannot fail To Nbe perilous 10

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THINKS 1T SUPERFLUOuS.
1r of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Brooklyn college bill has ap-
peared once moro in the Legislature, hav-
ing been introduced into the Assembly by
Mr.. Beck ASSEMBLY bill No. 7S7. Int. 669).
There can certainly be no objection to an
act authorizing the consolidation and mer-
ger Of several Brooklyn institutions or
learning under the name of the Brooklyn
College but there Is no justification what
ever for charging the city with the cost of
securing site, putting up buildings and
maintaining the college out of the public
funds.
With the College OF the City of New York
accessible as it Is from all parts of the
city, there is no reason why another in
stitution OF similar nature should be Or
ganized. The College of the City OF New
York still maintains very large sub-fresiI-
man department. which many of those most
interested in the college hope will ulti-
mately be done away with. If this most
desirable result is attained, there Will be
ample room in the college buildings for all
the young men of Brooklyn who would be
likely to attend the Brooklyn College. The
same is true with regard TO young women,
who could obtain collegiate education in
the Normal School If it would do away
with it's sub-freshman classes.
The Beck bill should be amended by
striking out all provisions which make the
proposed Brooklyn college a public charge.

MAYOR AND lf4GISTRATES

Mr.. Moses j. Harris, the city magis-
trate just appointed to succeed Furlong,
is said to have been slightly annoyed by
the letter of advice which Mayor Gay
nor sent To him. But he need not have
heen. Probably the Mayor would not
have appointed him If lie had thought
he required such advice. In reality, the
letter. which was plainly addressed over
the new appointee's shoulder to the
magistrates already ION the bench. was
we'll aimed. for they include, as the
Mayor said, 1.-The finest and 1.-The worst
ard the faults of some OF 1.-The worst"
and Of some Of the others who are not
anywhere near the best have done rs
much as anything else we know of to
bring the administration of the law in
this city into contempt.
1t is interesting to know that the
Mayor not only means to aim letters
indirectly at city magistrates, but that
lie intends to move for their dismissal
il they persist i'll some OF the practices
against which he warns his appointee.
The Mayor was an unusually efficient
judge, whatever may be thought Of
and no one is better qualified than he
TO address himself to the task of inn
proving the character OF the administra-
ton of the law in the lower criminal
courts.
An improper degree of irreSponsibility
prevails in some of these courts. There
are magistrates who will not hold sa-
l0onkeepers unless there is a chemical
analysis to show that the drink sold on
Sunday or after hours contains alcohol.
Others have equally eccentric rules about
vagrants and street walkers. With this
irresponsibilty, probably, the difficulty of
removing a magistrate has much to do.
