\ good many OF the sportsmen who
are on their way to the deer hunting
grounds are carrying modern high
power rifles that kill at a mile. re-
marks the Duluth Herald Maybe they
need them; but nobody has yet justi-
fled a claim that they do. Many good
sportsmen are well content with the
older fashions that shoot straight and
kill at a reasonable distance and they
seem TO get about as many deer as the
other fellows. A rifle that kills at
mile or that will go a long distance
through woods and XIII after it has
penetrated several tree trunks, is
pretty dangerous weapon. The only
safe way to use it is to give each hunt
er about six square miles of woods to

the best results could be secured by
working through the Michigan Agri-

ready carrying on a splendid work for
the Improvement of Michigan farming.
Not only is it educating the sons of

these reports of blood thirsty behavior
on the part of the Italians and whether
there is any call for having anything
to say on the subject. War is no pic

has served to remind us vividly In re
cent years, and no doubt the Italians
are doing in Tripoli just about what
other Europeans have done in other
parts of Africa i'm the course of the
old old business of conquest. And 1t
must be remembered that the very fact
of Italy's venture into a campaign of
conquest has excited jealousy through
out the rest Of Europe and has been
the subject of the bitterest and un-
friendliest comment in London and
Berlin But with this and such like

WHY NOT THE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE2

The suggestion has been made by
Vice President A. r. Patriarche of
the Pcre Marquette railroad that the
state should have commissioner of
agriculture and 1t has been very fa-
vorably received. There Is a general
sentiment that some steps should be
taken to increase the value of Michi-
gan farm lands and their output. The
state needs more thorough settlement
OF the lands 1t has suited to agricul-
ture and it needs more scientific farm
ing. The output per acre must be in
creased, as well as the number of acres
under cultivation.

plish the result sought is through a

Put IL down that Governor Osborn
meant no offense to the Catholics or
people of any other faith when he stat
ed recently that he would like TO see
the Bible introduced in the public
schools Of the state. The governor has
been criticised for that remark, as he
has been criticised for many other
things he has said. But the governor
is a fearless man and keeps right on
speaking his mind. lie is deep
thinker and student as well as man
of action He is independent too. OF
all crques and classes, and has a will
power all his own. He's live member
and a progressive in the truest sense
of the word. He has said some radical
things, it's true, but he's a much safer
sort of a progressive than many others
we hear about. And the people of
Michigan will live to see the day when
many OF his recommendation will be-
come realities. When we read some
Of the criticisms of the governor we
are reminded of that apt quotation,
ITO avoid unkind criticism, say Moth
ing do nothing and be nothing" The
governor is not trying to avoid criti-
cism.
