Michigan S First State Asset

A number Of recent announcements
have brought the University of Mich
igan into special prominence; and in
each case the Importance of the uni
versity as one Of the worlds greatest
cosmopolitan educational institutions
has been accentuated. Time spent in

wasted or lost; because the greater

greater will be their pride in Wolver-
inc citizenship itself.
Throughout the country, interest is
being focused on the National Mich
igan Alumni banquet to be held on
February 4 at the Hotel Astor. New
York City, in honor of the university
alumni i'm the highest divisions of the
national government When the pro-
meters Of this great event came to
compile their list of guests Of honor,
they found that the University of
Michigan is represented i'm the SUI
RENE Court Of the United States, in
the national Senate and in the ma
tional House to greater extent than
any other single school in the land
This is a significant fact. 1t is thor
Oughly indicative of the well-proven
conclusion that the influence OF our
great Ann Arbor school extends far
beyond the limited confines of our own

Of our own land, but into scores Of
foreign climes.
With four United States senators
and twenty three United States con-
gressmen the University of Michigan
has larger alumni delegation In
congress than any other university in
the country; in fact. the number is
almost twice as large as that of any
other university. While Michigan

ALCOHOL UNDER OTHER NAMES.
Light Shed on Various Temperance
Beverages in England.

A board of experts has recently
made its report to the British gov
eminent on the Incorporate character
of temperance drinks sold in the
United Kingdom. II finds that many
OF the most popular beverages coming
under this category contain all the
way from two to twelve per cent OF
alcohol. The British taxation laws
take no cognizance of beverages con-
tanning less than two per cent OF al
cohol. but three-quarters of the sam
pies of temperance drinks examined
by the board far exceeded that proper
tiCn.
Some apparently herb beers were
found TO contain as much alcohol as
claret or Rhine wine The English
public has been greatly surprised by
this report, and its capacity for aston
ishment is proof that England has had
no experience worth mentioning with
"stomachic bitters."
Our government, on the other hand,
as a result of investigation some years
ago, found that gin by another name
was drunk in quantities that defraud.

A REAL SPEAKER.

1t has long since become evident
that the present speaker Of the house
at Lansing is a man Of force and char
acter, who has carried a definite DUR
pose into the position-to Safeguard
the best interests Of the state and to
aid in carrying out the Osborn re-
forms-and who Is going to let moth
ing interfere. He has shown himself
qualified as a leader and has exerted
his influence in the right direction.
Especially conspicuous has he been
in the effort to secure the economies
which should be put i'm effect, which
the people have Enthusiastically indica-
ted their desire to have enforced and
which the present administration is
pledged to carry out. He has consist
emily stood against legislative junkets

have been efforts TO put through or

ing for attendance. But attendance is
not the sole measure of accomplish
ment The measure is rather i'm the
sort of men which a school can pro-
duce The remarkable galaxy OF tai
ented public men who respond to the
Michigan alumni roll i'm the highest
divisions Of the federal government,
Is striking testimony to Michigans
unapproachable supremacy and sup
eriority in this fundamental and final
measure of value.
Our university is not only a per-
petual. inexhaustible and invaluable
advertisement for Michigan il is not
only a continuous invitation to our
own sons and daughters to excel: but,
generally speaking it is the first and
greatest institutional asset of the
state; and an individual asset which
we make bold to proclaim as Of great
er value than any other individual as
set possessed by any other state i'm the
Union.
Any attempt in the Michigan legis-
lature to reduce the percentage of
taxation to be annually levied for the
provision of university operating
funds should meet with the firm and
impregnable denial which its lack of
merit deserves. If anything, appro-
priations should increase. Here is one
direction, at least, i'm which economy
is undesirable and generosity is worth
while.
To all of these sentiments there will
be a hearty and approving response
from hundreds OF loyal u. of NJ alum
nj who are residents of Grand Rapids
night for their annual reunion.
incidentally in this connection, IL is
interesting to note that Grand Rapids
is about to choose a new man to rep
resent II on the university's Board OF
Regents. IL is an honored seat to
which we lay claim by hereditary
right; made honored by the unselfish
services of such splendid men as 10y
al 10. Knappen, Roger w. Butterfield
and others. II is interesting TO note
that there seems to be a general be-
lief and desire that our representa-
tion on the Board of Regents should

As INTELLECTUAL AS OF OLD.
Boys Of To-Day Are at Least as Smart
as Their Ancestors.

II is often asserted nowadays that
our young men and women attain in
tellectual maturity much later than
did their parents and grandparents,
and in support of this theory the pre-
cocity of distinguished personages
who fourished a generation or two
ago is cited. Now somebody, who
has probably been bored, like the rest
of us. with this yarn about the phe-
nomenal brightness Of the old-fash-
Toned boys. has looked up the records
of IL leading colleges 10 see what
changes have taken place in the age
OF graduates. From 1850 to 1860 the
average age at graduation was %
years 1.3 months. From 1890 TO 1900
IL was % years 10 months. In 1870
years at Dartmouth the average age
at graduation has fallen three months.
This average age, IL appears, has
changed as little as the average wealth
ef. Thus one or two precocious
youths of the long ago are sufficient
to endue all their contemporaries with
the same qualities But the fact is,
the twentieth century boy is smarter
than any of his predecessors, and (un-
fortunately in nine cases out of ten

PROTECTION OF FORESTS.

Reports based on detailed field ex-
aminations made by National Forest
officers. of the lands burned over in
the forest fires Of last summer in
Washington and oregon. which have
been received by the L. S. Department
of Agriculture, show that the National
Forest timber loss in these states is
about 7OO.OOOOOO feet. This is some
what less than was indicated by the
provisional estimates made shortly az
ter the fires. The reports also show
the Importance as a means Of pro-
tecting the forests against fires, Of the
efforts which are being made by the
department to open new ranges to
stockmen.
OF the national Srests in Washing
ton and oregon, that on which the
fires extended over the greatest area
was the ColviHe, with 10000 acres
burned The fires on this forest, how
ever, were chiefly surface, which are
far less destructive than fires which
travel through the crowns Of the trees
It is considered by the forest officers
that the fires on this forest point
clearly to the value, from the stand
point of fire prevention, Of proper
utilization Of the range under regu-
lated grazing. Large parts Of this
forest, and also Of the Chelan, ok
anogan. and other forests, are not
used by stock because Of their mac
feasibility. although a good supply Of
forage is produced. The dry grass and
other heritage both spread the flames
and made them hercer and more de-
struetive than they would have been if
the land had been grazed. one Of the
objects Of National Forest administra-
ton is to open all available range TO
the fullest use consistent with pre-
servation Of the carrying power Of the
range and protection Of forest growth
and water supplies
In carrying out this principle where
good grazing grounds are at present
inaccessible to stock the aim Of Ma
tional Forest administration Is to
open means Of communication through
the construction Of driveways. the
building Of roads and trials. etc. to
the end that stock may penetrate
wherever forage is to be found and
grazing can properly be permitted.
Through the building Of railroads and
the pushing forward Of the system of
permanent improvements which has
been planned for the national forests
Of northern Washington. Idaho and
Montana, it is believed that much
hitherto unused range in these forests
will soon be opened to use

state at the public expense, but he
has steadily opposed them.
1t was Speaker Baker also who
was responsible for the discontinue
ence of the practice OF paving the
clerical force for seven days work a
week. Just why II should be necessary
to pay state employees for one day i'm
each week when they lie idle any
more than the same thing is done
elsewhere does not appear. No man
ufacturer pays his employees a days
wages for the sunday on which they
do not work. He does pay them
enough on other days so II is no hard
ship 10 them To lie idle. The state
should do the same. But aside from
this the fact stands conspicuous that
the state law makes no provision for
paying state law employees seven
days wages for six days work and
that money so paid was illegally paid.
Speaker Baker put a stop to the
illegal practice. He has thereby earn
ed some unpopularity among those
who have found themselves cut off
from that unearned days wages each
week, but the state as a whole must
approve.
This is a trying time at Lansing and
ii is fortunate that the house has at
its head a man of the courage and Of
the strength TO meet the emergencies
that arise as they should be met.

usually well equipped to head the leg
