To Promote tho Manufacturing In

The Board of Trade of Traverse CITY
is considering the adoption of the Will
Transport, Pa, plan of securing in.
dustries. The secretary of the Will
Transport Board of Trade, Don. M.
Larrabee, paid visit to Traverse City
to explain the plain.
During the past ten years Williams
port has spent 81, 100, 900 for new in
dustries and every dollar of this
amount has been matched dollar for
dollar by the manufacturing plants to
whom it had been loaned. During all
this time the loss has only amounted to
five per cent of the amount loaned. No
bonuses haye ever been given and none
ever will, as they do not pay, it being
only wildcat plants that are looking
for this kind of assistance. Mr.. LARA
bee says. The board has no use for
professional promoters or inventors in
q strict business sense.
Nothing is allowed by the board for
pate rms, patent rights or any kind of
junk that is generally offered to off set
bonus advances. The board matches
its money against the other mans and

Fly Poison.

An excellent fly poison is one pint of
milk, one pint of water, one table
spoon of formaldehy de, one tablespoon
full sugar. Place slice of bread on a
plate and soak it with this mixture.
Place these plates out of reach of child
rem and animals. A cheap and reliable
fly poison which is not dangerous to
human life is bichromste of potash
solution, one dram to two ounces of
water. Add little sugar and place in
shallow dishes. To clear rooms of flies
quickly pour 90 drops of csrbolic acid
on hot shovel. The vapor will kill
the flies. Pyrethrum or insect pow
der moulded in cones and burned
slowly in rooms will stupefy flies and
they may then be swept up and des
troyed.

BARNARD's NEEDS.

Barnard College ought to find little
difficulty in obtaining the $2,OO0OOO
which II needs TO enlarge its facilities
so as to be able to accommodate the
young women who seek to attend It..
The demand is modest one com
pared with the sums which colleges
for men are In the habit of asking for
and getting. A city which has several
universities and colleges for men, some
of them among the largest in the c0un-
try. should see the need Of extending
the usefulness of Barnard, the only in
stitution Of its kind for young women
within its limits.
The needs Of Barnard are plain. 1t
has outgrown its equipment and its
endowment It's halls are too small to
accommodate its classes, eight hun
bred students being instructed in
buildings fitted for the teaching of
only five hundred. A gymnasium, an
auditorium large enough TO bold the
students and an additional dormitory
are needed IL the college is TO grow
and increase its capacity TO serve the
community. And its teachers salaries
are as much below what they should
be as is everything else about this use

ing for several years to do its utmost

A GOVERNOR AND HIS OATH

The emphatic condemnation Of Gov
ernor Blease by the conference Of
Governors will hardly bring that bla-
tant demagogue to sense of decency,
bat II does give grateful notice to the
world that South Carolina is alone
among the states in being represented
by an advocate Of mob murder and an
official who shouts 'To hell with the
Constitution which would interfere
with the pastime Of lynching negroes.
II Is doubtless too much TO expect
that Governor Blease will take himself
at his own word and resign the office
which he disgraces. He said that
when the Constitution stepped between
him and the defence of white women
that s,-their defence by letting their
assaiIants be murdered by mobs with
out trial-he would resign. He knows
&c does so interfere. He knows he is
bound by his oath to protect the ne
groes in their right to due process Of
law. But be apparently has no more
regard for his own oath than for the
Constitution which he consigns to hell.
And he thinks the people of South Car
olira are equally Indifferent; for he an
nounces that he expects them to pro-
mote him To the United States Senate.
Perhaps they will. South Carolina has
done some queer things.

that il was impossible to adjourn the

simply put on their hats, went houe
and prepared the dinners. In conflict
with the ''impossibility" Of the court
there was the primitive impossibility OF
letting their men folk go hungry. The
one was conventional and the other
natural. and the natural won.
In the face of this what is likely TO
become Of the thousand and one I'M
possibilities which confront us under
our institutions? A force that could
make court wait while dinner was
being cooked might do almost any
thing. The incident has its grave as
well as its amusing side With women

NOT DEBATABLE.

Mayor Gaynor says he will uphold
the budget cuts made by the Board oil
Aldermen ''in all the debatable things,
but will correct all the mistakes the
aldermen made. If the Mayor really
does that he will relieve several lm'
portant city departments Of the neces-
'sity of limping through the next fiscal
year and enable them TO do efficiently
the work they purpOrt to do but, shorh
of proper funds, could only half do.
Already the Mayor has promised 10 re-
store the cuts in the estimates Tor the
Board Of Education. which Is an eX-
cellent beginning. He has given, IN
that. a fair example Of what may be
supposed to appeal to him as mis-
take" on the part of the aldermen and
not "a debatable thing
1t would surely be thought hardly
debatable to declare that money spent
10 protect the city from epidemics and
10 help stamp out disease was well
spent: Therefore the Mayor may be
expected TO restore TO the estimates for
the Health Department the amounts
eliminated BY the aldermen. This
money was meant to be expended for
inspection Of school children. including
the pupils OF parOchial schools, here
tofore uninspected by the Board of
Health. it was TO be used in the city S
work to stamp out tuberculosis and for
inspection Of bakeries and other places
where foodstuffs are manufactured. 1t
would be a mistake TO break down all
Interpretation of the public service
which the civil service regulations az
ford. and a mistake only less in de-
gree TO make that protection less eff
cieut than il now is by gripping the
CfeiF 1Ser6ice Commission. The Mayor
may therefore be expected to restore to
that body the amount the aldermen cut
from its appropriations. As lawyer
and a book lover he should deem it a
mistake to deprive the public libraries
of~sums which the Board Of Estimate
acknowledges should be paid to them
in 'fulfilment of cOntractual obligations.
Cuts in the estimates of the Charities
Department which would handicap the
working forces Of the city hospitals
would seem to be a serious mistake.
It happens that the Board of Alder
men, in making these cuts, did not give
study and time enough to the matter
to discover whether they really were
"debatable things" They slashed for
the sake of politics. The Mayor, IL he
follows the example OF fostering de-
partmental efficiency set by his prom
| Use to restore the appropriations Of the
Board Of Education, will veto most OF
their work, for the city's sake.
