Lansing, Mich, Jan. when Gov
ernor Ferris took the oath Of office as
chief executive of the state of Mich
gan he evidently did so with the de
termination to be governor in fact as
well as in name. At least that is the
conclusion to be drawn from his atti
tude during the first weeks sessions
of the legislature. He made it plain
at the outset that he was not to be
influenced by party politicians wit
axes to grind nor by private individ

uals with personal ambitions to take
hand in the government Of the
state
Beginning with the first session the
| governor gave it ont in plain terms
| that he was absolutely opposed 10 a
/ fusion of the parties represented ia
the house and senate.
In taking this position the chief
executive did it in a nice way, by
qualifying his statement with the as
! sertion that he was not giving advice
to the solons of the state, but merely
expressing his personal sentiments.
New Era in Michigan Politics.
What is believed to be a new era
IN Michigan party politics was marked
at the banquet rendered to Governor
Osborn. About the tables sat an ar.
ray Of representative politicians.
manufacturers and professional men
that was unique and significant. The
endorsement of many of the policies
of the retiring governor, and some of
them distinct Republican policies, By
Governor Ferris, cast a damper over
some OF the ambitions of aggressive
partisans in the game for political
dication OF something out of the ordi-
nary for the coming two years. And
that the new governor expects to
make record in which partisanship
will be a secondary consideration was
exemplified in his utterances at the
banquet table. 1t is significant, too,
that these utterances found favor
among representative of the three
parties present, though it may be set
down as fact that some of them
were not entirely in sympathy with
the new governors evident intention
to disregard the time-honored policy
of partisan victors making a whole
some dash for the spoils of political
success.
Republican Appointees Favored.
That Mr.. Ferris is determined 10
exercise economy and TO not impair
the efficiency OF operative depart
ments of the state government is
shown in his recommendations for
the confirmation of eleven recess ap-
pointmenis by Governor Osborn. The
policy OF efficiency is thus cnslined
and further the new administration
plans to cut out every possible un-
necessary office or position and place
greater responsibility upon others
who can just as we'll do a little more
real work for the compensation they
receive from the state.
In this Governor Ferris is in hearty |
accord with the views of Lieutenant |
Governor Ross, and has already begun |
to give a practical demonstration Of |
his purposes as announced before |
election.
Another evidence that Governor

REMEMBER THE LOVED ONES
Pathetic Religious Ceremony That 10
Observed by People of the
Isle of Ushant.

In the Island Of Ushant the isle
of Fear''--there exists a custom prob
ably unknown In any other part Of
Christendom. When a native dies
abroad or is lost at sea, his relatives
have small wax cross made, some
seven inches long. This is solemnIy
taken to the church and presented to
the priest, who deposits it in a box.
shaped like cineEary urn, that hangs
on the south side OF the altar OF St
Joseph. This is called the PRO Ella"
cross, and is supposed to stand for
the spirit of the dead. These memo
rial symbols are allowed to aecumu-
late in the box till the next church
mission comes round. AS these revi-
val services are held only once In ev-
cry four or five years, the number Of
crosses may be very considerable. A
day is then set apart for their solemn
irsterment. It is the great day, the
climax of the mission. The church Is
mourning congregation, 1any Of
whom break out into loud wailing.
The crosses are brought from their
urn in solemn procession, a requiem
mass Is said over them, and then they
are carried to the churchyard, the
iron door Of the tomb Is unlocked, and
they are inferred with full honors.
Throughout the year hardly day
passes but some pious soul tonnes 70
sprinkle the tomb with holy water
and say a prayer before 1t for the
dead.-Wide World Magazine.
