NV Apple Sill.

1t is evident that the Sulzer meas
ure, which was passed by congress
and signed bv President Taft on Aug.
3, will work a revolution Ill the ap-
pie business OF this state The meas
ure provides Tor an honest pack and
label that is true TO the contents. 1t
applies to the country in general so
that there will be uniform grade of
apples on the market, no matter from
what section thev come. The west, to-
gether with New York State. have
observed the rules set forth in this
bill for some time, and as result
have practically monopolized the mar
ket of the country. Michigan grow
ers have clung 10 the idea that any
thing that looks like an apple is good
enough for the center of the barrel
if there is a row or so on top to lead
the purchaser to believe that he is
getting what he pays for. For thi.
reason the Michigan apple has been
kept out OF high apple society, but
when the Sulzer bill goes into effect
it will come into its own, because the
grower or packer cannot afford to
run against the law for the sake of
IL CHdHSc Vi PdltIy gam I'LL ouSH uiS'
honest methods.
1t has often been said that it is i'm
possible to make men honest by law,
but it is evident that such a result will
be gained through the operation of
this bill. Not onlv does the law pro-
vide penalty when it goes into eff
feet, but a ruling by the department
of justice makes it partially effective
this year, by bringing under the food.
and drug act all who mislabel apples
and sell inferior grades under the
representation that they are first
class article. Bv living up to the pro-
visions of the new measure Michigan
will gain such prestige that it will be
known the world over as the leading
apple producing state.AGrand Trav-

PERTINENT POINTS
From President Taft's Latest Ad
dress.

One issue OF even greater funda.
mental and permanent importance
than the tariff and prosperity is the
preservation of the institutions of civil
liberty.
There is not the slightest chance of
success for the third party. It's chief
purpose is the defeat of the Repub-
lican party, and even in that there is
now every possibility that it will be
disappointed
The happiness of the people is more
deeply affected by the prosperity and
good business which now prevail than
by any other one condition.
The real question at issue is whether
the people are so anxious to change
from protection policy to tariff
for revenue that they are willing to
assume the burden of the hard times
which must necessarily accompany
the change.
You cannot make an omelet without
the eggs, and you cannot change from
system which protects a great part
of our business to one in which such
protection is withdrawn in such a
way that business will not be seri-
ously injured.
The suggestion that comes at times
from Governor Wilson that tariff
changes are to be made in a tender,
conciliatory and modifying way, with
sweet reasonableness, is of that
euphemistic character which pleascs
the ear but which does not satisfy the
reason.
How foolish the American people
would be to hazard the continuance OF
prosperity by voting into power par
ty whose first declared principle is
hostility to the policy of protection on
the way our business is conducted.
II #
A third party has split off from the
Republican party, not for any one
principle, nor, indeed, with any prin-
ciple at all bSt merely to crafty per-
sonal ambition and vengeance.
There is running through the entire
declared policy of the third party an
entire willingness to destroy every
limitation OF constitutional, repre-
sentative government in order that,
by short cuts, various reforms may be
accomplished by the DEGREES OF a
benevolent despotism, to be support
ed by the acclaim of hero worship
ping, emotional, undiscriminating. SUI
perfcially-minded and non-thinking
people.
"This new party is not united on
any cohesive principle, and is only
kept together by the remarkable per-
soi,alitv OF its leader. Were he to
die the party would go to pieces, for
the cause, of which so many glibly
speak, is utterly incapable of dehni-
ton in view of the crazy-quilt cnar-
acter OF the platform.

ment.
The maps, 125,000 of which are to

the Dominican republic. who sailed for
Jamaica from New York Supday, had
appealed to the State Department for
support for his project of making him
self president Of the island republic.
Velasquez offered himself to State De-
partment officials as a substitute for the
unpopular Victoria government which
now has a revolution on its hands. He
declared that he thought he could be-
come president If the Dominican repub-
lie at any time. IL only the government
of the United States would give him its
backing. Department officials refused to
consider his suggestions, and he was re-
quested not to repeat his proposal
Velasquez was Minister of Finance in
the cabinet of President Ramon Caceres.
who was assassinated last winter. In
fact. the unpopularity Of Caceres' ad-
ministration was said to be due to the
tyranny of his Minister Of Finance, who
exerted a powerful influence In the af-
fairs of the government. The death Of
his chief and protector forced velasquez
to flee. and he went to Jamaica. where
he has been waiting an opportune mo-
ment to return.

of Use ON Railway Trains.
The use Of the public drinking cup on

an order putting ban on public drink
ing cups or glasses on railway trains
He declares that these utensils are germ
laden and spread disease. and that in the
interests Of the public health their use
in the future should be prohibited
Under q law passed at the last ses-

believes that the Public Health Service.

cup. In many States lass have been
passed prohibiting the use of public
drinking cups on railway trains. These
laws. Of course. operate only within
State lines. Surgeon General Blue be-
lieves that the time has arrived when
the government should insist upon the
adoption Of the reform on trains that
