Repeal tho seamen's Lawl

AS the department OF commerce dis.
sects the seamen's law, the crudities
and stupidities of that measure be-
come more convincingly conspicuous.
It's incidence is restricted to pitiful
number Of vessels; its provisions con.
tract in their Significance with every
reading; and the unequal burden 1t I'm

ments becomes every day more appar-
ent.
The weaknesses Of the measure
might have been ascertained while 1t
was pending. Not few Of its absurd
provisions were then pointed out.
But the object of its promoters was
less to regulate shipping than to &C.
complish a political end. Their cal.
culations took into account votes to
be gained. Little thought did they
expend on other effects of the bill they
advocated. It was labeled humane
and demanded by labor" and It was
put through regardless Of anything
except its fruit at the polls.
To cure its defects radical opera.
tion is needed. Repeal alone would
lift its burdensome hand from the
shipping trade. Will congress and the
president unite to rid the country Of

must Be PROTECTED
This Country Can Manufacture
Its Own Dyestuffs.
Necessary. However, That Capital Be
Assured Confederation In the Mat.
ter Of Composition With
Germany.

Shall we manufacture dyestuffs In
quantities to meet our own necessi-
ties? The industry can be established
In this country, and should be. We
have the raw materials. and can COM
mand the skilled labor. We have suf-
fered In that line, as in others, as the
result Of the war. We have been de-
pendent on Germany for our dyes;
and our business relations with that
country have been dislocated for Is
months. Hence the interest now at.
taching to that particular subject.
The leading consideration In the
premises is protection. Shall protec-
tion be afforded? The German indus
try has not been, and will not be. de-
stroyed by the war. Upon the return
of peace. German manufacturers will
return to full speed again, and have
greatly the advantage in our markets
unless our markets are protected for
the home industry.
Secretary Redfield favors the pro-
lection, and puts the case in this way:
Capital hesitates under existing
conditions to embark heavily in an un-
dertaking where there is strong
probability, II not q certainty. that
upon the return of normal conditions
an incipient, half-developed American
industry would be exposed to pro.
longed and relentless underselling by
foreign competitors possessing al.
most boundless resources. financial
and technical"
A similar situation in general ex.
listed when we launched our govern.
mental scheme, and similar argu
ment was made by the fathers In sup
port Of the general policy Of pro
lection. At that time we were q
small nation of farmers and mer.
chants, almost wholly dependent on
the outside world for manufactured
products. Why not become self
supporting nation? Why not do our
own manufacturing? Protection as a
policy was adopted. and in no great
while we became In many things in.
dependent of the outside world and
today we hold place among the
leading manufacturing nations.
Protection has done wonders for
America. The policy, Of course. needs
adjustment from time to time, as
President Mckinley, the foremost
protectionist Of his day. pointed out
at Buffalo in what proved to be his
last public. utterance. But adjust.

the poultry counter. "How much are
they?"
''One dollar apiece, madam" was the
prompt response Of the obliging pro-

'One dollar" thoughtfully mused
the customer. and then added: did
you raise them?"
"Oh. no. madam" was the hasty
assurance OF the misunderstanding

Lansing.-The present population Of
Michigan is $500, 900, according to an
estimate made by statisticians In the

based on the school census of last
June.
An estimate was made In order to
find the number of illiterates. These
are estimated at 100000, or 3.6 per
cent. Only those who cannot read
and write English are counted. The
state Of Michigan stands twenty-fourth
in the number of children in the
schools and the school population has
increased ten per cent In the last
three years. but the percentage OF
illiterates Is decreasing.
The figures were secured for the
superintendent of public instruction
who is sending out q letter to the

than 5000 inhabitants asking that the
night schools be operated for the bene-
fit Of all illiterates.

arise.
Chairman Barnes of the board veri-

between $300.000.000 and 100000

one In Eaton Rapids.

Militia Camp cost state s11s.ooo.


The total expense Of the encamp-

at Grayling, August 1921. was $115.-
900. much higher figure than the cost
Of previous encampments, according
to the bills presented to the state
military board, which met at Detroit.
The United States government con-
tributed $4,000 toward paying the ex-
penses OF the encampment.
Maj. M. J. Phillips Of Owosso ex,
planned that the unusual expense arose
because an attempt was made to take
advantage Of the object lessons fur
nished by the war in Europe. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the expense
of future encampments was bound to
increase.
A letter from Rasmus Hanson Of
Grayling, donor of the military reser-
walton. was read before the board. 1t
expressed qualification at the work
done in August, and Mr.. Hanson stated
that he is ready to bear one-third OF
the cost of building q good road

board will hold its next meeting In
