What better can Fletcher do than to
follow the custom of promotions and
put Judge Miles on the supreme court
bench and fill the vacancy thus caused
on the superior court bench from the
field of candidates? If Miles was fit
for the supreme court bench in 1905
when first appointed but left on the
superior court bench when the courts
were divided because of his juniority,
he is surely amply qualified for the
supreme court bench now. In ability

The old Republican machine is still

tooth and nail to get it's power en-
trenched in the supreme court. There
is concentrated effort being made to
have Gov. Fletcher appoint man who
will be subservient to the Old Guard.

of the Republican state committee, is
working" his friends all over the
state in favor of Mr.. Redmond for the
place made vacant by Judge Powell.
The Governor refused to re-appoint
Mr.. Redmond on the public service
commission and it would be strange
thing indeed if the Governor should
now appoint Mr.. Redmond to place
on the supreme court bench. The
fact that Frank Williams is working
so hard to secure Mr.. Redmond's ap-
pointment is reason enough why the
Governor should turn him down.-Bur-

Aviator Nearly Killed.

Charles Baysdorfer, young New
York aviator, had thrilling expert
ence while giving an exhibition flight
Wednesday afternoon, which nearly
resulted in his death. He lost control
of his machine 200 feet in the air
while attempting to make landing on
the Bannister farm, three-quarters of
a mile from the fair grounds. The

to suffocation. An employee of the
Bannister farm saw the accident and
hurried to the aviator's assistance.
Baysdorfer was found partially uncon-
scious beneath the wreckage. Physi-
clans discovered that he had escaped
with severe burns and cuts and a
general shaking up which will confine
him to his bed for some weeks.

Trade at Home.

The town that keeps people nome TO

and trade and that sends them home
we'll satisfied when their trading is
done, is the town whose citizens work
for good roads and streets, that has
up-to date business houses with goods
that meet the taste and needs of the
buyer, and clerks that are courteous
and competent. And it is possible for
wellnigh any town to be in that class.
Public spirit, enterprise, unity Of
action, loyalty and judgment are the
main requisites. Usually it is found
that the difference between progress

possession of these qualities by the

some cities laboring under the disad

CALUMET, July 24.-ViOlating the orders of the Western Federation of Miners against violence as many as 15,00O striking miners in the copper belt created enough disturbances today to result in the ordering out of the troops. By tonight nearly 240O state soldiers including cavalry and artil- lery are in the mining fields in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There was no concerted attacks on mine property or persons about the mines, but several were injured in sporadic brawls
 The chief disturbance today was an assault on deputy sheriffs stationed at the mines of the Calumet and Hecla to protect property. None of the mines attempted to operate, but the strikers seemed to object to the pres ence of the deputies and took away their stars. There were many fights after the stars were collected and a few were taken to the hospital The strikers then surrounded all the sur face plants of the Calumet and Hecla and forced a suspension of auxiliary operations at these plans. The ma chine shops, foundries and other simi- lar industries were closed before the onset of the miners.
 Several mass meetings were held today and great enthusiasm was shown when the speakers = exhorted
