TOO MUCH POLITICS."

II is stated by almost every promi-
nent man who is interviewed regarding
business conditions that the trouble
with the business of the country is
f"too much politics" In the sense that
our economic questions are settled in
accordance with political, rather than
scientific, knowledge and research,
there can be no question Of the cor
rectness OF the position taken by our
leading fnanciers, but TO attacks On
the corporations are usually referred
to as the most powerful OF the ad-
verse factors and the one that mus.
be done away with II business is to be-
come prosperous once more, says the
Financial News. The fact seems TO be

made and are making toward a solu-

civItiTY.

There is nothing like being civil. and
term the highest forms OF politeness.
We do not allude to a stiff, meaning
less formality, or to those senseless
conventionalities that obtain I'm the do
main OF fashions. We refer to that
spontaneous outburst of generous ma
ture which exhausts itself in brighten
ing the heart OF everyone with whom
occasion throws us in contact
Civility finds expression in kind
words and in kind looks no less than
in kind actions; kindness is the foun-
dalton OF civility. The CHEEKY good
morning" the touch of the hat, the
genteel bow. all bespeak the gentle
man; and since civility is, like charity
universal, Ii confines its manifesto
tions to no particular favored class.
1t feels no lowering of its character
by the family notice which 1t takes Of
natures real noblemen-the hard fist
ed, weather browned sons OF toll. 1t
rejoices rather. and In it's rejoicing it
IL not alone. The thrill of satisfaction
which speeds through our heart when
we feel that we have done kind act;
finds response in the soul of him who
has experienced our generosity. The
heart, truly magnanimous. is the one
that feels more pleasure at another's
happiness than II does in its own; and
the man. truly civil, Is the man whose
heart goes out I'm kindness to his fell
lows.

RE-DIsTRIcTINe PROBLEM.

Now that the house has agreed to all
of the amendments attached by the
senate to the apportionment bill. thus
finally disposing of this matter, dis
cussion concerning the prospective re-
districtiGS of Michigan is rife. In this
subject the first and twelfth districts
are most vitality interested, as these
two districts are at present, owing TO
their disproportionate growth, compar-
ed with the rest of the state2bodly UNI
in the national house.
The first district, which includes the
city Of Detroit. according to the 1910
census figures has a population OF
354,7S1 and the twelfth has a popula-
ton Of 325.62S. The basis of appor-
tionment in 1900 was 10000. In 1910,
with an additional member from
Michigan it will be $4,000.
Not single one of the remaining
ten districts as at present constituted
contain the requisite population total
even with the state divided into thir-
teen instead of twelve districts. In
deed but four of them today contain
the population figure required to make
up a congressional district ten years
ago. Thus will be seen the necessity,
aven if the apportionment bill did not

these values mounted upward year by
year until in 1910 the average was
Sos for horses and si2O for mules
representing gains of nearly 100 per
cent and l25 per cent respectively. The
values OF all the horses and mules i'm
the country was then something like
SSl5.OOOOOO. while today il exceeds
ss.oOo,0OO,OOO gain Of more than 81
epo,OOO,OOO in ten years
To appreciate the Importance of the
Horse interest, It is observed, one must
compare these figures with those rep
resenting other live stock. Then it win
be seen that the horse dwarfs all the
rest. An the cattle in the United
states are worth about 1857, OOO. 600;
all the hogs about $4Oo,OOO,OOO. and all
the sheep about $2SS.OoOOOO, making a
total of s2.ssOOOo.oO 600 for all other
stock, or $67OOOO,OOO less than the
value of the horse stock alone.
The total number of horses i'm the
world is now about 9G,4Ol,OOO, accord
