WARDEN PUT TO TEST.

Warden Simpson Of Jackson prison
Is confronted with test which will
determine his competency TO handle
matters Of discipline in that institution
observes the Lansing state Journal. If
he succeeds in suppressing the present
outbreak Of characterization he will
not have any trouble in the future.
Two nights this week the convicts have
INDUCED In a charivari as a means of
showing their disapproval Of a new
rule the warden established which re-
CURES the men 10 go Immediately 10
their cells when their days work is
done The warden believes that this
prohibition Of lettering in the shops
and yards is necessary for purposes OF
good discipline, and no one who knows
OF interior conditions in the prison
doubts his judgment. The question Is
as TO how he will meet the turbulent
outbreak. His friends expect him TO
make good, although realizing that the
situation is difficult. 1t is easy enough
for sideline spectators to tell what they
would do under such circumstances.
but Simpson must need act in a man
ner that will convince the convicts he
Is capable Of meeting such emergencies
and satisfy the state as to his good
Judgment
To a certain extent the outbreak Is
the result Of the long period OF mis-
management in the prison. II is stated
that Warden Armstrong did not dare
for long time TO enter the yards and
shops Of the prison and that his pre-
decessor was similarly afraid OF the
convicts. Discipline i'm the prison was
practically nil. Undoubtedly the leg
islative furry over Marquette prison
heightened the belief OF the convicts
In Jackson that they could safely in

against warden simpson. Il is conf

friends that these men will receive n
lesson in prison department which will
prevent future demonstrations. II is
about time something happened in that

rapidly I'm ohio where the climatic and
soil conditions are similar to those in

the next five years be the great beet

The Michigan and Ohio crop is mar
keted in the Central states and the
people i'm these states are receiving
enormous benefits through the lower
prices at which they are able to OBJ
tain sugar
owing TO peculiar market conditions
last season, Michigan sugar has been
marketed at from 20 cents to 40 cents
per hundred pounds under the prevail
ing price for Eastern sugar, Consum-
crs have INFORMALLY obtained the ben
eft Of this decreased price. From the
middle of October TO the middle of
March fully as per cent of the granu-
lated sugar used i'm the territory bound
ed on the east by Buffalo and Pitts
burg, on the south by the Ohio river,
on the west by Chicago has been beet
sugar. A fiscal policy which gives the
community an equally good product at
n much lower price and at the same
time produces that article at home
rather than abroad must necessarily
appeal to the people.
OF the s13,OOO,OOO.OO received for
Michigan's last crop Of sugar more
than one-half went direct to the farm
ers. That they are well satisfied with
the conditions is evidenced by the fact
that they are contracting more gener-
ally this year than ever before, and no
difficulty is being experienced in Sc
curing all the acreage that the factor
les can handle.

tanned that there as no possibility

was idle TO frame tariff on the basis
Of developing the eet sugar industry
in any other locales than the most
favorably irrigated districts of Colo

ply that in Franceand Germany beet
sugar is successful produced i'm enor-

repetition of this Id argument.

adapted to beet crture. For the past
three years the suar content of beets

That the work of the Upper Peninsu-

business and professional interests Of
this district. No doubt exists now but
that a big membership from Hough

rolled in the development bureau, and
that this regions share of the $4,000
booster" fund will be forthcoming.
The bureau is going to be the means
Of great awakening in the upper pen
insula The people Of the L. p are
rapidly dispelling themselves Of the i'm
preston, prevalent at the start that
the bureau was organized merely to
help the big land companies sell their
lands. They are beginning to appre-
ciate what the project means and what
great benefits will be derived from
systematic, enthusiastic exploitation.
They are beginning TO awake to the
fact that the upper peninsula has great
agricultural possibilities, that it has
more good farming land, in proportion
TO size, than the lower part of the
state that all kinds of grain and veg
etables and many kinds OF fruit, can be
raised in this north country. that the
climate is particularly advantageous to
the farmer. and that the settlement of
idle lands will mean cheaper living. in
creased prosperity and more stable
and permanent district for all the peo-
pie Of the upper peninsula. The many
advantages to. be gained by means of
the development bureaus work were
