Senator Burrows is robust and
looked as strong as in years gone
by, Notwithstanding the reports
circulated by his opponents that
he is in his dotage. There is nc
question about his physical con-
dition, and no doubts in the minds
of those who saw and heard him,
that he will put up whirlwind
campaign from now until pri-
mary day.
The concensus of opinion is
that Burrows is stronger, politi-
cally, than six months ago. His
work in the closing days of con.
gress has made him strong with
even those who have been luke
warm in their support. Even IN
Townsend's district, it is report
ed on good authority that he has
strong following. He is a man
that can be depended upon. He
does not play to the galleries, or
sit on the fence to see which way
the wind is going to blow. He
does not make as loud noise,
perhaps, as some men in public
life, but his broad minded states.
manship, his eternal vigilance
and loyalty to the principles of
the republican party have en-
deared him to the hearts of the
people of not only the state of
Michigan but of the nation.
Senator Burrows should and
will be returned to the senate by
an overwhelming majority. The
people of the state of Michigan
cannot afford to lose him from
public life at this time.

THE dry weather of the past
week has again demonstrated the
need of greater supply of water
for the village of Paw Paw. The
wells at the plant are entirely
inadequate to supply the requi.
site amount of water during a
dry time. The proposition is a
serious one and should receive
the attention of the council at
once. The same trouble is expe-
rienced every year, and it is poor
policy to put off the matter.
Drive some new wells, or do
something to remedy the short

Great Reception for burrows.


If any one has entertained any
doubts as to the sincerity of the
people of Southern Michigan for
Senator Burrows in his present
senatorial campaign such doubts
are now dispelled No man in
public life was ever given more
enthusiastic "Home Coming =
than was rendered the senator
in Kalamazoo last Wednesday.
Throngs Of people were there
from all over South western
Michigan to honor the senator,
and give assurance of their
hearty support in the present
campaign. He was visibly af-
fected by the demonstration, and
gave his friends the assurance
that ii he returned to the senate,
he would in the future, as in the
past, give his best efforts to the
interest and welfare Of the en-
tire state of Michigan.

Politics and the University.

Perhaps the most deplorable
incident of the present guberna
torial campaign is the one which
transpired at Ann Arbor few
days ago when Regent Chase 5.
Osborn, candidate for governor,
participated in meeting of the
student body and crystalized the
sentiment which existed among
a portion Of those present to
point where it resulted in the
formation of an Osborn club.
We have accustomed ourselves
to seeing the holders of minor
state offices allied with some po-
litical faction, and this alone is
matter for regret. But it is far
more disturbing when we see the
reprehensive policy creeping into
our university and observe the
cancerous growth which has fas-
tened itself so strongly upon our
state service, spread its insidi-
Gus influence into the very heart
of our educational system.
Never before in the history of
the university had there been an
attempt to disturb the democratic
standard which has been so close
ly adhered to and which has pro
duced such excellent results.
Looking at the movement from
the standpoint of pure civic pride
in the ed ucational supremacy of
this great educational institution,
it may be deemed almost profan
alton of soil. heretofore held sa-
cred to the cultivation of higher
ideals and the development of
greater possibilities IN each sue
ceeding generation of our com
monwealth.
The fact that it was Mr.. Os-
born who conceived the move
ment is of little moment in one
respect. The consequences which
the deed portends and the dan
gerous possibilities it invites,
overshadow the man, for it will
make no difference in the end
what faction the first political or
ganization thus formed, favored.
The question is, whether we shall
allow politics to be mixed with
the educational courses now in
operation at our state university.
1t is a question which touches
upon a problem Of far greater
significance to the future welfare
of the people than the mere in
PRODUCTION of any political poll
cies. 1t threatens to disrupt a
system which has been years in
the building and to overthrow
the efforts of our educators to es-
tablish seat of learning which
will be forever free from any in
fluence that might place it in the
position of a favor seeker at the !
changing hands of state govern
ment.
Above all it would be wrong to !
force the educators in charge of
our university to feel that the
time is coming when they are to
be dragged into the whirlpool of |
politics. 1t would be unwise to
force upon them the task of |
steering their craft through the
treacherous eddies of political
campaigns and of risking the APP
preparations of state funds which
are necessary to the promotion
of their great work, by taking
any stand whatever with or
against any candidate or faction.
1t is therefore to be hoped that
Mr.. Osborn will not insist upon
pursuing the course which he
has seemingly chosen. His init

EX-GOVERNOR'S
DAUGHTER WEEDS

Aberdeen, S. D.,-One of the most
notable weddings of the season In
Aberdeen took place last night at
the First Presbyterian church. when
Miss Grace Herried, daughter Of form
er Gov. and Mrs. Charles N. Herreid,
was married to Dean Howard Light
ner, Of New York City. The cere-
mony was read by Rev. DIR. G. H.
Bruce, pastor of the church, and. the
young people departed on the ave-
ming train for a honeymoon trip,
after which they will reside in New
York, where the bridegroom is n
gagged in business. The young people
became acquainted at Oberlin college,
where they were classmates.
A sad incident in connection with
the wedding of Miss Grace Herreid
and Dean Lightner was the death Of
the infant child of Mrs. G. A. Nc
Me, of K%entwood, Ia, who was to
have been matron of honor at the
wedding. The baby was taken sick
at Z O'Clock in the evening and died
at 6 the next morning.

Previously an extraordinary igno-
rance prevailed, even in England
about the future ruler. He wasn't the
striking, snowy personality that his
father was. He didn't set styles for
the world. He was not a gallant. He
avoided the limelight.
1t is apparent, however, that King
George hasn't been wasting his As

we'll as in the line of succession. Just

marriage of Prince George and, the
princess was at the wish of Queen

known as the Sailor Prince. He went

the world, and made a long trip in
visiting all the British colonies in

Queen May, whose full name is
Victoria Mary, was destined for a
throne from her birth. She was born
! instae royal palace of Kensington on
May &c. 1867. She is the mother of
six children.
The new king and queen are very
deysIed, and are seen. everywhere to-
gther. Queen May is pretty, a great
lover of her home and is thoroughly
English in her thinking and tastes.
She knows no other language.
The only cause for difference be-
tween the new rulers is that King
George says his wife. gives away
