ARE NON PARTISAN.

Governor Hiram Johnson's hying trip
through Michigan recently was declar-
ed by a few newspapers to mark an
open rupture between the Progressive
party. which has endorsed woman suf-
fraee, and the Michigan Equal Suffrage
association. the members of which are
working hard TO secure the passing Of
a constitutional amendment granting
votes tor women.
All who know the real facts of the
case understand that there has been no
rupture between the Progressives and
the Michigan Equal Suffrage associa-
tion because no alliance between them
Las ever existed. hence there are no
relations to sever.
The News is Informed that ever

increasing. At the present rate we
should have Instead of deficit for
this year. a surplus of probably s5o,-
OOO. 900 for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1913.
The situation is all the more re-
markable i'm view OF the continued
agitation for revision of the tariff
downward. A prospect OF tarin legis-
lation has had the effect In the past
almost Invariably to curtail importa- :
tions and diminish customs receipts.
Generally. a presidential election has
lessened importations. Treasury con-
ditions generally are unusually hope
ful There is no way TO explain the
heavy customs receipts except on the
theory that importers no longer stand
in awe of policies of prospective tariff
/ legislation, Fol time IL was thought
by some experts that the increase in
| customs dues beginning last January
was TO be accounted for by sudden
activity on the part Of importers, who
had been long held in suspense by
prospects for a revision of tariff rates
Immediately following the passage OF
the Payne Aldrich law there was
popular outcry against it and the threat
was made that the revision would not
be allowed to stand.
The elections in 1910 unfavorable
to the Republicans were construed by
many as popular dissatisfaction with
the tariff legislation in the Payne
Aldrich law and as voicins a demand
for another and lower revision The
effect of this situation on importations
might have been a deterrent one for a
time and some of the experts thought
the increa sed importations early in the
year was the manifestation Of de-
mand for foreign goods long pent up
by fear of new tariff legislation.
But the prospect of tarin revision
is just as imminent today or more so
than at any time in the last three
years and the increased importations
that began in January were not spas
modic. but have continued TO show
steady increase up to the present time
II is an unusual but gratifying sit
uation. 1t proves that our national
prosperity is so substantial ana perma-
nent that political agitation cannot
disturb it,"
Private reports as to crop condi-
tions throughout the country bear out
the government report issued few
days ago. The corn crop is record
breaker. The same is true of the
oats crop. Wheat in some places, was
shortened by hard winter and some
OF the crop was lost by the inability
to harvest. 1t OF account of the wealth
