TALKING TO the Child.

Mrs. X talks to little Madge
just as Mr.. x talks to their dog, y
said little girl of a neighboring fam
lily. And it was indeed true. Mrs.
x is a very well-meaning woman
and would be greatly surprised If she
should hear the foregoing statement
She has simply unconsciously acquired
a harsh tone of voice in dealing with
her children. This is altogether un-
necessary and is not, as many moth
ers seem TO think, mark of good dis.
cipline. The mother whose manner is
quiet but firm is generally much
more successful disciplinarian than
the harsh-voiced mother who issues
her commands in dictatorial manner.
Kindness never spoils children. 1t is
fiabby indecision. sometimes mistaken
for kindness. which spells them.

Governor May Probe in Wreck.

There is a possibility that Governor
Warner may be requested to take a
hand in the investigation of the wreck
on the Grand Trunk near Durand, in
which eight persons lost their lives
and several others were badly injured.
If the Grand Trunk officials and
Prosecuting Attorney Hicks of Shia-
wassee county fail to investigate to
the satisfaction of the railroad COM
mission and the states attorneys, II is
rumored that Governor Warner will
be asked to instruct Attorney Gen
eral Kuhn to assume full charge OF
the investigation and sift the matter
to the bottom.
So far the Grand Trunk has at
tempted to thwart the railroad COM
mission in its endeavor to probe
into the cause of the wreck and the
commissioners are highly indignant at
the manner In which Commissioner
Scully and Chief Engineer Bice were
treated at Battle Creek.

GlohuIar Ilnhtninn.
HIS COMEBACK.

Yesterday the inhabitants of Lewis
ham were provided with a specimen
of that curious phenomenon known as
'globular lightning" 1t is what Is
commonly called the fire ball." and
as it persists for several seconds it is
obviously Of a totally different char
acter from any other form of light
ming. 1t is much less brilliant than
ordinary lightning, and its brightness
appears to be that of iron at the red
hot" stage.
1t is not. as some accounts might
lead one to infer, a solid missile, but
it is always spherical and appears to
fall from a thunder cloud by its own
gravity, sometimes rebounding after
striking the ground-London Globe.

Morrice Has Not withdrawn.

According to advices received at the
Office of the secretary of state some
one is making a determined effort to
GUST James l.. Morrice of Harbor
Springs from the race for the state
senatorship. A telegram was received
by the state department to the effect
that Morrice wished to have his name
withdrawn, and the message stated
that it would not be necessary for the
secretary of state to certify to it, as
Morrice was about to withdraw.
Before taking any steps Deputy
Mills wired Mr. Morrice in an effort
to confirm this report and a message
was received stating that Morrice did
not intend to withdraw, and that he
was not the author OF the original
telegram. II is thought that some one
opposed to the candidacy of Mr.. Nor
rice wired the message to the secre-
tary of state. His name has been GER
tilted to and will not be taken from
the original ballot.

Wants Labor Law.

Sam T. Penna, secretary and treas
urer of the Michigan Federation of
Labor, and for years chairman of the
legislative committee of the Detroit
Federation of Labor, says that the
most effective way to fight prison Ia
Dor is through legislation. To this end
he urged the election, to the legisla-
ture. of men who understand the
needs of the union men and manu-
facturers who suffer from the COM
petition of prison labor. He spoke
enthusiastically of the Wayne dele
cation in the legislature and compli-
mented them on their efforts in be-
half of legislation directed against the
evils of prison labor.
John Clarken was mentioned by
him, particularly, as the one who in
troduced the bill prepared by the
Michigan Federation of Labor, to
abolish prison contract labor, and
who, after giving great deal of time
and attention to that measure, caused
il to be adopted together with an
amendment providing for the appoint
nent OF commission to investigate
the conditions in other prisons, and to
prepare a bill for the final abolish
ment OF this form of labor.

2,8IO,l73 PEOPLE
IN THE STATE
Twenty-Six Counties Show De-
crease.
WAYNE COUNTY MAKES GAIN
Census Figures Show Increase of
ses,111 in Michigan Population
During Past Decade, Which Is
1871 Per Cent.

Lansing-Despite the fact that the
census returns from 26 counties in the
state Of Michigan show a decrease
during the last decade, the state has
n population of 2,S10,173 in 1910 as
compared with 2,420,9S2 in 1900 and
2,O93,SS9 in 1890. The increase from
1900 to 1910 is 3S9,191, or 16.1 per
cent, while the increase during the
preceding decade was but 1876 per
cent, or 327,09S.
Officials of the census bureau at
tribute the falling off in the popula-
lion of so many counties in the state
to the fact that those who have previ-
ously lived in the suburbs, attracted
by the inducements held out to them
by the manufacturing centers, have
moved into the large cities. For in
stance, Wayne county, in which De-
troit is situated, shows an increase in
population during the past ten years
of 1S2,T97, while those counties not
dependent upon more thickly popu-
lated centers all show decreases.
The 26 counties which show de-
creases are as follows: Antrim,
Arenac, Branch. Cass. Clinton, Eaton,
Gratiot, Hillsdale, Ionia, Iosco, Lake,
Lapeer, Lenawee, Livingston, Ma
comb, Mauistee, Mecosta. Menominee,
Midland, Montcalm, ST. Clair, Sanilac,
Shiawassee, Tuscola, Van Buren, and
Washtenaw.
Most of these, 1t will be noticed,
are the populous counties in the
southern part of the state, where
agriculture is the principal occupa-
ton, and the ones which would be
most affected by the movement of
the young men of the farms to the
big cities.
Michigan stood eighth among the
states in the matter of population In
1900, and will probably maintain her
relative rank in this years census.
Despite the apparent unfavorable
showing of Michigan on the whole,
the state will be entitled to an ad-
ditional member of congress by the
official population returns, no matter
what apportionment may be agreed
upon by the next house. Under the
old apportionment of 1914, 1872 for each
member of congress, Michigan had IL
members. The fact that she has in,
creased her population during the
past decade by nearly 100000 clearly
entities her to an additional member.

State Take Charge Of Wreck Inquest

Attorney General Kuhn and mem
bers of the state railroad commission
will go to Durand to the coroner's in
quest on the Durand wreck victims.
The attorney general will take charge
OF the investigation, it is stated, with
a view to pushing the inquiry in order
to avoid necessity for a later state in
vestigation. Speaking of the inquest,
Chairman Glasgow of the railroad
commission said:
IF the inquest develops information
sufficient to satisfy the attorney gen
eral and the commission that all facts
regarding the wreck have all been
brought out, a separate investigation
will not be held We are concerned
only in determining whether negli-
gence or carelessness caused the
wreck"
James Bice, mechanical expert Of
the commission, is in the upper PENN
sula inspecting railroads, but he has
been wired to hurry home to assist in
this investigation. James Thompson
of this city, state tax commissioner,
who was in the last sleeper Of train
No. IA, declares that he saw only four
people removed from the wreck. An
other passenger, in letter to the
commission, says that he is prepared
to swear that the tail lights of the
wrecked train were left in Durand.

FOR CALENDAR YEAR.
Internal Revenue Law Regarding Re-
 turns Must Be Complied With.

The internal revenue office is re- ceiving large number of letters every day from corporations and lawyers in- terested, which, in effect, amounts to a request to be permitted to file a re- turn based upon some okher periods than the calendar year. Many reasons are given why it will be almost inn possible to make up an inventory at this time of the year. A large num- Der of corporations make their yearly inventories June 30. some in April and others in May. etc. The regulations are clear as to the necessity of making an inventory at the close of the calen-. dar year, as follows:
 AS the law specifically provides that the tax imposed shall be computed on the net income during each calendar year. returns of income based on any period other than the calendar year cannot be accepted"
 Article of the regulations. under the head of inventories" provides for approximate inventories, where an in ventory was not taken at the close Of the year 1908. This being the case, "a supplemental statement, showing such inventory approximately. must be sub- mitced with the return on the regular form. Such supplemental statement shall be verified under oath by the treasurer or principal financial officer in submitting same.
 There is no provision in the law or regulations for statements based on estimated inventories when the in ventory- taking period of the corpora ton is of other date than December 31. While it will be a hardship and a matter of considerable expense for some corporations to make an inven- tory at this season of the year, 1t is evident that it will have to be done. as a return based on an estimate can not be accepted.
 The collector has no discretion in the matter. The law must be executed at it stands If this fact is generally understood it will save much useless letter-writing concerning this particu- lar question. Lumber dealers are in a particular frame of mind. their timber yards are buried in snow, and their office clerks and bookkeepers do not like the idea of taking inventory un- der present conditions .of temperature, etc.
 In spite of all the excuses which appear to be reasonable from one point of view an actual inventory must be must be made at the close of December if the law is to be compiled with. IF is expected that every corporation in the district will be furnished with a copy of the regulations and blank forms for making returns, on or be- fore January l. If. as may happen, any corporation has not been listed or has been overlooked, application for law and blanks should be made at once to the collector or deputy collectors in different parts of the district.
 Failure on the part of any corpora tion joint stock company, association. or insurance company liable to this tax to receive a blank form will not excuse it from making the return re- quired by law. or relieve 1t from any penalties for failure to make the re- turn in the prescribed time"

Frederic Reninoton.

Frederic Remington. the artist, but known through his depletion of life in the west. died on Sunday at his home in Ridgefield, in this state. He was born in Canton. N. Y., October 4, 1861, studied in the Yale art school and in the art students league in New York, and then went west and lived on a ranch. There he studied and repro duced with truth and vigor the life of that wild country Soldiers, cowboys, Indians, he knew thoroughly and painted vigorously and with excellent sense of color. He loved the ranch life itself. and had his full share in it. He rode like a cowboy and had much knowledge of Indians in peace and some in war. He was large. tall man, but very active, and. as Julian Ralph said of him, betrayed physical viEor in every movement The latter years of his life were passed in the east, first at New Rochelle, and not long ago he bought the house at Ridgefleld in which he died.
 Of his work Owen Mister said some time ago:
 NO artist until Remington has un- dertaken to draw so clearly the history Of the people. This is surely enough; but he stands for certain other things, both great and definite. He has pie tured the red man as no one else, to
 ny thinking certainly, has pictured
