"Floor leader of the progressives in
the present legislature.
Mapes led the fight for the presiden-
tial primary. lie got nineteen votes on
his side in the senate thirteen against.
He led the fight for the state wide
primary. He fought on the floor of the
senate for the initiative, referendum
and recall. He helped Senator Frank
James get two cent railroad fare and
the election CT mining inspectors by
the people for the upper peninsula.
When Corporation Counsel Hally came
out Ia the Legislature last year To have
the home rule bill amended in way
that Hally said would permit an
immediate vote on municipal owner
ship for Detroit, it was Mapes instead
of any Detroit senator who aided Hally
most. Mapes spoke in favor of, and
voted for "A %orkingman's compensation
act" Detroit News.
"Frequently Mr.. Mapes has not been
with the Senate majority, but he has
been on the progressive side nf almost
every question which has arisen. He
is about the most valuable asset Michi-
gan has in the State Senate. To his
ardor for reform he has brought a
knowledge of Conditions, gained not
only by previous experience in law
making, but by close and faithful
study of the problems which are upper
most today. 1t is so seldom that a
man, without ostentation and DEM
agogery, expresses in his official life
the spirit of the day that when one is
found il seems misfortune that his
services ever should be lost to the
people. Editorial, Grand Rapids
Press, April 2, 1911.

AT the Republican primaries, to be
held August n, Mr.. Amos s. Mussel.
man, OF Grand Rapids, is candidate
for the nomination for Governor of
Michigan. The business career of Mr..
Musselman is an index OF the quail.
ties he would bring to the Office II
elected. He is thorough business man
and his training has been such as to
eminently fit him to meet and solve
the problems of State development and
upbuilding.
The business of governing a State
differs from that of governing a COM
mercial concern in degree, and not In
kind. 1t is larger charge. Sound
common sense, sound business prin-
ciples, no favoritism, are what the peo.
pie want In their Governor.

Greeting.

Say, what have you got i'm store for US,
young nineteen hundred and twelve2
Come, now. pray open your baby lips
and answer for yourself.
Do you bring good cheer on your infant
wings? Does the happy smile on your
face give token that you'l hit the track
of time at a rafting, progressive pace?
AS your hands and your arms gain
needed power will you scatter the
longed-for seeds Of peace and good will
on the ground. now choked with wars
ever-noXious weeds2
WIN you beat into plowshares the
bloody swords and smother the cannon's
roar, and loved ones battling in distant
lands TO the quiet of home restore?
Win YOU from their pockets their honor
our ships TO labor with gifted brain for
the good of the country they've sworn
to serve instead OF political gain?
VIII you from their pockets their honor
take and close their ambitious eyes to
all save the glory of this great land-the
greatest beneath the skies?
VIII you whip corruption and sinful
greed from the temples they so befoul;
drive the wolfish bosses so far away that
We never can hear them howl?
VIII you raise our flag to a higher
place In the beautiful azure sea, over
nation redeemed from the grasp OF
kings; over a land that indeed is free?
VIII you weld the links of a golden
chain of brotherhood, fast and strong,
around the money'd trusts and labor
hosts who have battled so hard and long,
with the links of justice and links of
right and links of their mutual good
brought to a lustre that cannot fade in
that girdle of brotherhood?
Will you throw the light of the sun of
peace over the homes where the poor
ones dwell? Let the glintlngs Of plenty
pierce the gloom of povertys haggard
hell, and canopy all of the great broad
land with a fabric OF sweet content, so
pure and bright in the siken folds it
will seem as IL heaven sent?
Alas! New Year. IL is much we fear,
though for needed relief we pray. You
will let conditions cavort along in nearly
the same old way.
The men of sin will be sinners still and
power will strangle right, and nations
will sharpen the swords OF war and men
as the wild beasts fight!
And yet we welcome you, infant year,
extend you a greeting hand, while tho
fires, the expectations of honest hearts
by hope are famed.
We pray that in the course of time
we repose you on the shelf, II will be
tears mixed of regrets and many thanks,

1t is announced by wellesley college
that the course of horticulture and land
scape gardening offered by the depart
ment OF botany is not to afford profess
sional training. but only to add to the
general culture and usefulness OF the
students. This course includes the pro-
pagation, cutting and shifting of plants,

A sharp controversy has been precipi.
tated in Montana by the resignation Of
President Duniway of Mlssoula univer-

Board OF Education had voted not TO re-
new it's contract with him when II ex-
pires. he did not wait for II to act, but
carried the matter to the faculty and
made the whole affair public. Naturally
these shocking tactics displeased the other
side, which had counted on having a sub
stitute ready and making the change
without fuss SO the manner OF his de-
parture has come to be the ground of
contention rather than the causes. which
are obscure.

they OutstrIp the Native Born In
Pennsylvania schools.
Warning that children of foreign born
parents are outstripping American boys
and girls in the public schools of Penn
sylvania, is contained In the annual re-
port of DR.. II. c. schaeffer, state super
intendent OF public instruction.
DIR. Schaeffer's unfayorable contrast
between the attitude OF American chill
sdren and those of foreign-bor parents is
drawn in the following paragraph:
Children born Of foreign parents rea-
lie the advantages thus placed within
their reach. Many OF them study with a
zeal and earnestness which will make
them winning competitors alongside of
American youth, vino waste their time at
social functions and in the qualification
Of self instead OF pracdclng the self de-
NAL which lies at the foundation Of all
true success"
Dr. Schaeffer makes a plea for open
air schools for children predisposed to
or affected with tuberculosis. He de-
clares that 100000 school children in the
United States win die annually Of con-
sumption before they are IS years OF age,
Is per cent OF whom could be saved Il
proper measures be adopted.
