That thrifty element which likes to
see the poor work for what they get"
will be gratifed at the system in
Frankfort-on-the-Ma where the AS
ISOLATION for the Poor contracts with
property owners to clean their side
walks and sprinkle the streets. Able.
bodied men who are temporarily out
OF work are assigned by the relief So
ciety to do this work. Last year about
$4,000 out of the society's total bud
get of $4,000 was expended in wages
for these street cleaners, while the
contracts with the property owners
Melted the society about $4,000. The
main difficulty with plans of that
sort In this country is that such en-
ployment of the poor would merely
serve to throw out OF employment
quite an army of men who get living
wages rather than relief wages for the

MICHIGAN IS TO

The public domain commission has
sent the following letter 10 supervis-
ors throughout the state with view
to securing cooperation In securing
homes for settlers who desire TO come
to Michigan
The meeting of the National Farm
Land congress in Chicago, few
weeks ago, brought TO the attention
OF those who attended the possiblll-
ties of the state Of Michigan as de-
sirable home in manner more 1orcl-
bic than ever before, and we have
learned that Michigan has nothing TO
fear from competition from other
states. This department is daily In
receipt of letters from people in all
parts OF the country asking for more
detailed information than we are able
to furnish.
Michigan has been very slow TO
advertise it's land and facilities 10
homeseekers and the result is that no
department of the state is in posi-
ton to accord TO those seeking in

in conjunction with the board or SUI
pervisors of any county in settling up

1T seems TO us that to this end, the
supervisors may do much by turnlsh-
ing this department with information
of a general character concerning the
townships over which they have super.
vision. We think that il they would
prepare a statement showing the
character OF the soil in the different
portions of each township, its adapt
ability to the production OF certain
crops. the amount Of plains land and
the amount of timbered lands. the
proportion of the township that is
improved and under cultivation, the

That education helps man, even
when an inmate of prison. is evlnced
in the case of ex-State Treasurer
Frank p. GlaZier. who. when a young
man, acquired knowledge of drugs
while working in drug store owned
by his father. Young Glazier later
became pharmacist. Now Glazier
has been given the job as pharmacist
in the prison hospital at Jackson. a
much more easy and pleasant task
than the one he had in the chair

have been selected, but he was net.
Latimer could not be trusted after
having poisoned a keeper and escap-

longer than Fritch, and he was given
the job.
One of the good things that go with
this position is a well-furnished sleep

dark ard dingy cell in the old cell
block where Glazier spent his hours
when not at work. and he has his

Lords Give Up Ancient Rioht.

BY vote of 175 to IL the house of
lords passed the resolution of Lord
Rosebery calling for reform with the
object of staving off the drastic steps
meditated by the Asquith government.
The resolution declared that a
necessary preliminary to the reform
and reconstruction of the house is the
acceptance Of the principle that the
possession of peerage should no
longer Of itself give the right to sit
and vote in the house of lords.
The adoption Of this principle by
the lords is one of the most important
steps in the political history of the

to relinquish ancient privileges which
