GOES TO DETROIT
TO engage BOAT
UPPER PENINSULA EXCURSION is
NOW ASSURED. DATE is
YET UNCERTAIN,
HOWEVER.

A. r. Roberts, of the excursion COM
mittee of the Upper Peninsula Devel-
opment bureau, reports that more than
enough upper peninsula residents have
expressed their intention to join in the
proposed excursion to Detroit to war
rant chartering a boat and he will
leave Marquette for Detroit this after
noon for that purpose. In fact so
many have signifled their desire to ac-
company the excursion that the capac
ity of the boat is likely to be taxed to
the utmost.
At Detroit, Mr. Roberts will ascer-
tain what arrangements can be made
for a suitable boat, and the date of the
excursion will probably depend largely
on the time that a boat will be availa-
BILE. While all the passenger boats are
busy on their regular runs AZ this sea-
son of the year, tourist travel slack
ems up late in August and after that
there are usually vessels in the market
for excursion trips, such as is pro-
posed from the upper peninsula,
1t has been suggested to the COM
mittee that state fair week would be an
opportune time for the upper peninsula
excursionists to be i'm Detroit, and ii
is probable that an upper peninsula
day would be set aside during fair
week, In case the date should be set at
that time. The state fair is held about
the middle of September, which would
be a little late for an excursion, as
there is danger of severe storms on
Lake Superior Other things being
equal the last week of August or the
first week of September would be
better time.
Big Opportunity for Advertising.
on the other hand, there would prob
ably be no better time for advertising
the upper peninsula than at the state
fair in Detroit, which is attended by
thousands from all parts of the state
and the country. The manager of the
state fair has already indicated that he
would do his part toward giving the
upper peninsula visitors a royal recep-
ton. in case they find IL possible to
attend. Some of the upper peninsula
boosters are very enthusiastic over the
state fair suggestion, and, if necessary
to avoid Lake Superior storms, be-
lieve that it would be n wise plan To
take the excursionists TO st. Ignace by
rail and make the trip from there to
Detroit by boat.
In case the excursion should be given
during state fair week. it is probable
that a large exhibit of upper peninsula
farm products will be sent to the fair,
and suitable buttons or badges will be
provided so that the excursionists may

TRACK TEAM is LOSER.
Yale Lost Money On Crew and on Ath'
Ietcs.

The Yale university report on it,
finances for athletics for the year end
Cd August 81. 1910, shows that of the
four major sports the football and
baseball teams cleared expenses, but
the track and crew teams ran far be-
hind. The total cost of all university
athletics was $106,O92. and the receipts
were S1074S5, leaving a net profit of
only 1898, which is much smaller than
last year A larger deficit than usual
is disclosed in the reports of the tracb
athletic and running association. Base
ball ard football paid expenses, but
their surplus was heavily drafted upon
TO meet the bills contracted by theil
supporting brethren.

PROHIBITION IN ALABAMA

From the Charleston News and Courier.
 The general recognition of prohibition s fiat failure in the cities of Alabama was shown unmistakaby in the election held in Mobile, when the city, by a vote of IA to 1, voted in favor of a return to high license, under the terms of the new Smith law, rejecting both prohibition and dispen saries. So onesided had been the contest, so foregone was the conclusion, that comparatively little interest was manifested in the election, yet 2s72 votes were cast in favor of the sale of liquor, while only 1ss votes were cast against the sale.
 Mobile, like Birmingham and Montgom- ery where elections under the new law are soon to be held, has been overrun with blind tigers during the entire pe- rod since prohibition was forced upon them. The Montgomery Advertiser de- clares emphatically that fully as much intoxicating liquors have been sold in Montgomery in the past two years and half as in any two years and a half in the history of the city" Tt Is idle" says the Advertiser, ito deny this patent fact. It is idle to deny that where liquors were sold in a score of places before prohibit ton, 1t has been sold in hundreds of places since prohibition. It has been sold under vicious and morally enervat ing conditions which have turned out liars and sneaks. and which has multiplied the- law breaking population of the city,
 That has been the history of prohibit tion everywhere that it has been crammed down peoples throats. In Alabama, however, the prohibitionists had every advantage in the way of making their programme a success had that been pos sible. "Prohibition should have had an easy road to travel in Montgomery says the Advertiser, flor the agencies for the enforcement of the law were in the hands of prohibition advocates When the pro- hibtion law went into effect the gov ernor of Alabama, the chief executive of ficer of the state. was prohibitionist, the judge of the criminal court was a pro- hibitionst, the sheriff of the county was a prohibitionist, and the solicitor, if not prohibitionist. was selected by prohi- biton governor"
 Yet the disgust to which conditions un- der the prohibition regime have given rise In Ala bama cities Is evidenced not only by the failure of the prohibition forces to put up a fight, but by the fact that the local option forces have been led by lead
 ing business men and church workers of the various communities in which the matter has been under consderati ton. The whisky people have not cared ap- parently whether the various cities had prohibition or high license.
 Alabamas s experience has been a costly one, but il seems to have taught it's les son. Unfortunately however, it will not be needed, except in Alabama.

THE LORDS, DILEMMA

From the New York World
 Since the coronation the tory peers have been acquiring a new sense of dis cretion They no longer talk about fight ing to the death. Lord Morley has plain ly informed them several times that the government will accept none of their amendments to the veto bill. Lord Hal dane, speaking for the government, has told them that the Lansdowne amend ments would not be accepted. They now openly propose compromise. By that course they will never terrify radicals into surrender.
 That Mr. Asqyith has received guaran- tees that the King will create enough new peers to carry the veto bill through should the house of lords reject 1t is reasonably certain. The lords object to being swamped with 'puppet peers" The lines of caste would be largely broken down by such action, and the prestige of the house of lords immensely cheap ened For the King to create out of hand one or two or three hundred radical peers would come pretty near making the aristocracy ridiculous. Neither Is it good tactics for the lords to drive the King into taking action which is directly polit- ical in its purpose. If by any chance he should refuse to create the needed radical peers the monarchy itself would be exposed to political attacks. If he should be forced to comply with the de- mands of radicalism he could not avoid offending to certain extent the aristo cratic class.
 The King must appear non- bipartisan. He should feel grateful to the tory peers If they decide to spare him all occasion for figuring in the controversy. If they can salve their pride by securing from the government even a trivial concession in the terms of the veto bill as a condi- ton to their accepting it, both they and the newly crowned King should consider themselves fortunate.

ANGELINA NAPOLITANO

From the St Louis Post-Dispatch.
 The Italian woman, Angelina Napoli- tano, condemned to death for the murder of her husband appears to be victim of lack of efficient legal defense She evidently has as good a case as such women murderers as Florence Burns, Rosa Salza, Josephine Terranova and Au- gusta Cresanti, all of whom pleaded jus tification for their acts in the fact that they had been cruelty wronged by their victims
 In the case of Mrs. Augusta Cresanti, that of Angelina Napolitano is almost parallr ed. Mrs. Cresanti was poor Italian woman of New York's East Side. Her husband had abused her horribly and a jury, even with an inefficient law yer, might have acquitted her. But the court appointed MT. Samuel Cntermeyer, the highest paid lawyer in the country, to defend her. He is not what IS known as criminal lawyer, but had no dif- ficulty in getting the woman acquitted, on the law and the evidence. There was no need for mass meetings, sympathetic resolutions or appeals and petitions. Mercy was blended with justice, because the law was set forth by one who thor oughly understood it as the embodiment of reason.
 Angelina Napolitano should have been properly defended. Lawyers everywhere should follow the example of the leading lights of New York's bar, who have agreed to take the cases of the poor and ,aip far al II, n pointed by the court to do this necessary but often thankess work. Nothing now can save the Napolitano woman except appeals to the Canadian authorities Peti- tions are pouring in asking for clemency Humane persons everywhere will do all | they can to prevent so shocking an act as the execution of this unfortunate 1 woman.

All Weeds to Be Gut Quickly

The city commissioners have or dered the cutting down of all weeds growing within the city's bounds, and that, too, quickly. The weeds that grow along the sidewalks until they touch in the center are to be cut, and so, too, are the weeds that lot owners have permitted to grow to great size. The order applies to improed as well as unimproved lots. It applies to all weeds in the city wherever found. All weeds must be speedily cut. The commissioners have said it, and the citizen who has any proper conception of their powers will hasten to obey the edict.
 The chief offender in this respect is the negligent property owner, and unless he is willing to spend period in iail he will at once clear his lots of weeds. The health department will cooperate with the commissioners un- til the city, covering fifty square miles, has no weeds to harbor mosqui- toes, to promote malaria and to mar the beauty of the city. No one should hesitate to report delinquent lot owners. It is, in fact, a patriotic duty resting on every citizen. The city must be freed from weeds and, to use the words of the commissioners, this must be done quickly. Let every citi-
 zen get ready to swing sickle.

Dr. Wiley and Secretary Wilson

The inevitable is about to occur. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, who has stood for pure food many years regardless of the interests, is about to be removed. He was chief of the bureau of chem istry. The charge against him is that he placed the name of Dr. Rusby of Columbia university on the payroll of the department at S1600 a year. In addition Rusby was to get $20 day for laboratory investigations when the law permitted payments of S11 day only. He is a man of high standing in the scientific world and Dr. Wiley valued his assistance highly, and he no doubt secured his services on the best possible terms.
 The benzoate-of-s issue had given Dr. Wiley crop of enemies in- cluding the Secretary of Agriculture, and committee appointed by the lat ter has reported in favor of permit ting Dr. Wiley to resign He should do no such thing. The interests should be compelled to discharge him, and the people will attend to the matter afterwards.
 The entire subject is, however, in the Presidents hands, and he may not look at it as Secretary Wilson and At torney General Wickersham do. No one has stood up for pure foods and drugs as Dr. Wiley has done, and if he should be dismissed it may be set down as a certainty that the interests are at the bottom of the movement against him. The wonder really is that he has been retained as long as he has been, for he has unflinchingly from the outset of his service stood up in defence of the people against the entire benzoate-of- f-soda crowd.

Next Years Paramount Issue

Tariff reform and lower cost of living are to be the burning questions of the approaching presidential cam paign. The two are really one issue, for all know that the tariff -fostered trusts and monopolists are advancing the cost of living. When the tariff is revised to at least revenue basis when tariff is made by and for con- sumers rather than by and for trusts, the cost of living will be reduced. This is to be the controlling issue next year, no matter what the investiga- ton committees may disclose. The tariff beneficiaries do not like the sit uation. They fear the persistence and fixed convictions of Chairman Under wood. There is, however, no way out of the plain drift of the situation. The battle between the trusts and the consumers is to be fought out next year.
 Grover Cleveland was twice elected
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-07-15

on the tariff issue. He stood for a revenue tariff, and the democrats of today are standing there also. They believe that history will repeat itself and all the indications are that it will.
 The democrats are standing almost
 solidly in favor of the reprocity b1ll, and they will support any measure that calls for lower duties. Next win ter they will present schedule after schedule revised to the revenue point with an eye single to the interests ot consumers.
 The democrats of the House have passed the farmers free list bill and they have passed a revised wool schedule, and Chairman Underwood will soon bring in revised cotton schedule. Neither of these schedules would materially reduce the revenue while each would reduce the taxation of consumers by tens of millions of dollars year.
 The record of the democrats will be completed next winter, and the repub- Iicans, and particularly the President, will then be forced to complete their own record against revenue. The plea of tariff board will not avail them a particle in the mind of a man who is by the high cost of living. The democrats of the House will, in other words, emphasize and bring to the front the tariff issue upon which the presidential election of next year will turn.

This is evidenced in many ways and those who have Teen real stu dents of the market are becoming more and more of the same opinion. Several large concerns that put out inquiries shortly before the Fourth of July and then withdrew them, fearing a further decline, are now back in earnest for large tonnages.

Fncts Furnished by Our Consuls

"The consular service has been much improved the last few years and the specific dating period was really with the Cleveland administration" said Percy Clark. e
 'I notice that in a consular bulletin some interesting figures are given as to the sale of alcoholic beverages in way the government is competitor of the saloon in some cities. In Chris tiana there are 61 places where liquors may be sold. Now 30 of these are con ducted by the Samlag, a public fnsti- tuition founded in 1885. Also there are 1S0 places where beer may be sold. The consumption of alcoholic beverages per capita In Norway in 1909 was as fol- lows: Liquors. 1.55 quarts; wine, 12.6S quarts beer, s0.30 quarts. The Samlag, without a monopoly. has, in 25 years, given to benevolent and charitable in- stitutions s1, 74,000.
 Now here is to me a very remark able showing:
 rarely drink anything in the way of spirituous liquors with the exception of cognac, and this in extreme moder- alton. A number of attempts to in troduce and popularze American whiskies have met with failure. The ma- iority of Spanish physicians dlsapprove of alcohol in any form"
