W. w. Walker. vice president and
general manager OF the Duluth South
Shore & Atlantic in commenting on
the graded rate bill introduced in the
legislature as a compromise measure
last week is reported to have said:
Il should say we are not satisfied" and
ended his statement with the threat
1--WE still have expensive attorneys
that we pay by the year" Yes, they
still have those expensive lawyers
and their strong arm methods that
has made It expensive for the South
Shore and is bringing them lot OF
their trouble. When Mr.. Walker gets
down and talks horse sense, stays
away from Lansing, quits winning
and dining Legislators and putting his
personal friends there in a bad light
by imposing his companionship upon
them or some OF them constantly. the
people will take more kindly to his
requests.

Dean Vaughn OF Ann Arbor is not as
revolutionary as he sounds when he
suggests tho abolition OF the jury sys-
tenn and the board OF pardons, and the
tiial of offenders by trained Grimm
ologists, who shall be regarded as ply
sicianhs and not executioners. He is
simply developing the theory of our
indeterminate sentence law and the
parole of prisoners according to their
individual merit Reform, not punish
ment, has long been the accepted prin-
ciple of Michigan penology, and Dean
Vaughn asks US TO have little more
faith in that principle. He sees In the
criminal, potential or actual, sick
man whose cure means the prevention
of crime.
Part of the Vaughn program is en-
bodied in the Jerome bill, which
frigbtens the Legislators because the
investment looks 50 big, and they un-
derstand so little about the returns
II is the aim of that bill to check the
spread of disease. moral and physical
and generative, by the apprehension
and treatment OF those afflicted with
degeneracy or feeblemindedness OF
bodily ailment before they have out
ragged or contaminated the community
The other part OF his program has to
do with the apprehension and treat
ment Of this same kind of people,
otherwise known as the criminal class,
after they have committed some de-
probation. In these cases the jury
frequently finds the offender not
guilty more through instructive sym
pathy and vague feeling that the law
does not 1T the case, than through
stupidity or sheer venality. The jury
system itself would probably be i'm
proved II the jurors were convinced
that society was dong something more
than wreakIng vengeance for an overt
act on man who was likely to grow
worse instead OF better II the presrib-
ed penalty were imposed.
Michigan long since established
special institution for the care OF the
criminal insane. Under Dean vaughn's
plan she would discriminate still
more intellIgentiy between the various
kinds OF offenders. Detroit Saturday

a sHAKE-UP WOULD DO GOOD

A SHAKE-UP WOULD DO GOOD
Michigan had repition last week
E of the famous Sayre- freeman incident,
in a member OF a state commission
giving aid to the institutions he is
supposed to regulate against Cat
least a portion of) the legislative
views and avowedly for the purpose OF
influencing legislation. Railroad Com
missioner Cunningham gave to the
railroads an int. view In which he
stated that unless aid was given them
i'm the way of increased fares they
would have to curtail service.
The railroads made page ad OF the
interview and published II in Lans-
ing paper. When Sayre and Flushing
were members of the state tax com
mission they gave to the Michigan
Central Railroad an affidavit favoring
the railroads side i'm the law suit
which was then pending. II killed
them and in this case Cunningham has
lost his usefulness On the railroad
commission, Notwithstanding that he
may be kept there.
We doubt very much that Mr.. Cum
ningham Intentionally did any wrong.
His early training has all been with
the railroads and in his zeal to see
them prosper from his point OF view he
favored a rate increase, an action that
Mr. Cunningham as citizen had q
perfect right to do but as railroad
commissioner was extremely unwise,
especially In the face OF the state
ment of the commission that that body
has no figures upon which TO base It's
belief that II should have an increase
other than those supplied by the rail-
roads themselves.
There Is considerable OF a mix-up
IN the commission and In the legisla-
ture over the affair. Commissioner
Glasgow is being brought into II and
the governor is investigating IT, II IS
unfortunate to have mans usefulness
impaired or his integrity discredited
bya slip of the kind this is but
should the affair result in shake-up
in'the commission and real live
body OF men be substituted for the dead
ones thgt have held Office on the rail-
load commission since its incep-
tion Il would be a good thing.

semi-weekly edition Of which is the
second oldest newspaper in York coun-
ty. congratulates The Enquirer on
passing another birthday anniversary

not prevent it from being one of the
most sprightly and interesting semi
weeklies published in the state.

about seventeen years old when the

will say that the Herald was estab-

BURGLARS CAUGHT

]. R. Wyatt and Sam Harper, both
white and residents Of the McCon-

Friday, charged with stealing goods
from the stores Of Messrs. j. M. Will

robbery and has implicated his broth

On the other hand. Wyatt who has
confessed to having entered the stores
claims that he took Harper with him
on his raid on Mr.. Williams store
early Friday morning. and that Har-
per watched the door while he took
the goods.
The burglars were caught almost
red-handed. A negro happened to be
passing the store about the time the
burglars were preparing to enter. Re-
coSniZing the men, the negro went to
the home Of Mr. Williams and inform
ed him of what he had seen. Mr. Will

course of a few hours Wyatt and Har-

THE PosTMAsTERsHIP.

What is probably the last chapter In
the more or less amusing controversy
between the Board Of Trade and Mr..
Finley, as to the postmastership con-
troversy, Is made up Of letter that
has been written on the authority Of
the resolution passed at the Board
Of Trade" meeting last Tuesday night,
and signed by ]. C. Wilborn, president,
and A. T. Hart, secretary.
A portion Of the letter Is devoted to
an indirect discussion Of the question
as to whether Mr.. Finley or the Board
Of Trade" better understands tho wish
es of the patrons Of the Yorkville post
office. and the communication winds
up with a vague challenge included in
the following:
I'VE are informed that in a letter to
citizen Of Yorkville prior to your
correspondence with the Board Of
Trade, that you made the statement
that 1t would be conceded that you
knew better than any one else what
the wishes Of the patrons Of the York
Vile postofflce were. We therefore
feel justified in concluding from this
that you have in mind, and that you
desire to accede to the wishes Of the
patrons Of the Yorkville postoffice as
far as possible in the matter Of an ap-
pointment; and II we judge correctly
in this regard, the. suggestion that the
matter Of the appointment Of a post
master by some expression Of the will
of the patrons might be feasible, you,
however, Of course, reserving to your
self the right to decline to nominate
whoever might be chosen, II that par
ticular person were not competent.
"If this suggestion meets with your
favorable consideration, the manner of
working out the details would be left
in your hands and according to such
plans as you might suggest"
On being shown the foregoing, Mr..
]. w. Quinn read 1t over carefully. His
brow clouded somewhat during the
reading and when he had finished he
read 1t again. Then he began to smile,
and the smile developed into a laugh.
After he had collected himself, he
said:
If clear understanding Of this par
agraph Is to be made test Of COM
potency for the postmastership, then
you can count me out. The thing is
capable of so many different construc-
tions, cannot for the life Of me tell
what Is meant; but II 1t Is a primary
to be participated in by all the quail
fed voters among the patrons Of the
office. then am with you. So far as
am concerned, would not object II
the women Of voting age were allowed
to vote also. OF course / do not as
sumo that the Board Of Trade has ever
had my claims in mind for a minute;
but that is all right. The fact that my
Endorsement included a majority Of the
business interests Of the town, a ma
jority Of the patrons Of this delivery,
including the rural routes, and a ma
jority Of the duly elected officials of
the people Of the whole county, would
think my chances Of winning in an
election pretty good. But even If /
should be defeated, there will be no
complaint from me. 1 always did be-
lieve in the good old democracy Of ma
jority rule, and I believe my faith Is
still great enough even to survive
little personal disappointment"

mobiles. Future delivery goods pur-
chases are smaller and collections
uniformly poor, but lately marked
change has been noted in lessening
of difficulty in obtaining bank loans
and in an easing of interest rates
Conditions in the south, while slowly
improving, still present serious
problem" Crops in general, the re-
port adds, have been good, but the
cattle industry confronts serious
handicaps in difficulty in obtaining
loans on cattle and the foot and
mouth disease quarantine Is excellent
but general mining conditions are
poor. Many idle factories are report
