Michigan Men to Guard Border.

Good evidence that the Michigan
soldiers, as well as all other state
troops, are to remain on the border
for some time Is furnished by reports
from authoritative sources that plans
for the disposition of the Michigan
troops for three months to come hpve
been formulated. ~
According TO these reported plans
the Michigan troops are to see some
real patrol duty and are to be distrib-
uted at times along line mt least 40
miles long. These reports also indi-
cate that the troops still ut the home
camps will be brought to the border,
for II Is said that the present plan Is
to put into active service the entire
quota Of men called from each state
by the presidents original order.
These orders do not mean the break
Ing Of present headquarters for the
Michigan brigade. On the other hand,
II makes more certain the permanency
Of FL Paso as the permanent camping
ground Of the Michigan Guardsmen.
Drill on bigger scale will start
during August, when the Thirty-first
regiment will start on hikes which
will be increased to long marches of
several days duration.

REAL DIscovERER OF AMERICA
John cabot's Memorable Voyage Never
Has Had the Recognition Il 80
Well Deserves.

1t Is one Of the ironies Of fate that
the new world should bear the name Of
America, thus perpetuating the name
Of an adventurer, Americas Vespucius,
whose claim to being the first dlscov-
erer" of the western continent was
based on falsely dated letter, re-
marks the New York World. On the
9TH Of June, John Cabot set foot on
the soil Of North America. He set up
the banner of England and from that
hour the fortunes Of this continent
were destined to be swayed by the An
glo-Saxon race. His discovery laid
the foundation for the future supre-
macy Of England in North America.
Whether Cabot touched the shores Of
the continent on "the dismal cliffs Of
Labrador" or on the wild coasts Of
Nova Scotia or Newfoundland, will
never be definitely known, but the con-
sensus Of modern opinion seems to
favor Cape Breton, which forms part
of what is now the province Of Nova
Scotia.
Columbus had succeeded only in at
tanning the island fringe of the CONT
nent before Cabot set foot on the main
land. Cabot sailed over waters far
stormier and more difficult than any
encountered by Columbus, and his
equipment and resources were vastly
less, for he had but single tiny YES
sci, the Matthew-the first vessel to
touch our American shores. His dis
covery of the North American conti-
nent preceded by more than a year the
third voyage Of Columbus when he
came in sight of the mainland of South
America.
Like Columbus and Vespucius, John
Cabot was native of Italy, and it is
believed that he was born in Genoa, the
native city Of Columbus. Later he set
tied in the English city Of Bristol, and
1t was thence that he sailed on his
memorable voyage Of discovery, having
received patent from Henry VIII, au-
thorizing him and his three sons to
search for islands, provinces or regions
In the eastern, western or northern
| seas.

The commissioned ranks Of both
batteries were completed when tele-

of Sergeant Instructor Joseph Forth

commission In the National Guard
In federal service. Sergeant Forth
was named junior second lieutenant

Lieutenant Forth has been with
Lansing batteries since last August as
battery instructor. Much Of their
present proficiency as due to his in
structions, commanders declare. Hav-
ing been with the regular army bat
terles of the southern division for a

WORTH KNOWING

Dickinson college, Carlisle, Pa, Is
132 years old this year.
One New England statistical office,
the proprietor believing in fresh air,
has Offices that are practically out of
doors, making 1t necessary in winter
for the typists to wear gloves, and as
these cause frequent errors through
striking two keys instead of one, small
curved sticks have been put in use
with which, instead of the fingers, the
keys were struck safely, one at time.
The death rate from wounds In the
war Is less than one-half as great as 1t
was a year ago. DR.. Jacques Bertillon,
medical statistician in the French
army, declares that by hardship and
exposure the men have become SO
toughened that they can now stand
twice as much as they could last year.
Then 45 out Of every 1000 wounded
died, while now less than 20 succumb.
A process has been perfected In
France for applying cOlors to glass by

Respect for the law? Not respect for

in November Of last year, and the
work was pushed 50 rapidly that in

was launched. The dimensions are as

There are 20 state rooms in the cabin,
all Of which are well ventilated and
roomy, with doors opening both to

for congress in the next election.
Should we succeed, hope you
will support him, for in every es-

you can show him.
We have always made It q rule IN

candidacy of one man over another,
unless moral conditions or the pre-
ponderance of ability by one Of the
candidates demanded it.
Investigating the character and
ability of Smithwick, Of scores Of the
best people who have known him for
years, the only unfavorable thing said
of him was:
eHe is not good mixer, an es-
sential factor in politician, and ]
am afraid he could not capture
enough votes to win."
We first met Mr.. Smithwick among
a crowd Of other men, and his con-
duct toward them disproved the crit
cism. He made friends of the entire
lot, and did by his clean, good ma
tured, whole-souled mannerism. Since

SAYS sMITHwICK SHOULD
GET UNDIVIDED VOTE
I'allahassee Democrat.

Quite q number of people have ex-
pressed wonder TO the Democrat st
the rapidly increasing popularity of
Mr.. ]. H. Smithwick, one of the cam
didates for congress in this district,
who was comparatively an unknown
factor in the political life Of this dis
trict six months ago.
But when one has met and known
the man intimately, he is no longer
surprised at his present popularity
and the successful manner in which
he is sweeping the votes, but is sur
prised that his ability and worth
have not before been discovered.
Almost year ago the editor of the
Democrat received a letter from q
friend in Pensacola which contained
the following paragraph:
The friends of9Mr. J.-H.- Smith

and almost without exception his hon
esty of purpose, his ability TO serve,
and his clean and stainless life drew
them like cords Of steel.
These characteristics in Mr.. Smith
wick have attracted attention not
only in the district In which he is a
candidate, but throughout the entire
state, as excerpts in these columns
almost daily from our state exchanges
prove.
The Democrat feels that the dis
trict is particularly fortunate in hay-
ing such man as candidate for
congress at this time.
There is nothing gaudy or sensa-
tional II his makeup, but his presence
and talk convince the nearer that he
is every inch man.
In MIR. Smithwick the sober, pro-
pressive, moral, educational-uplift
element of the district have candi-
date upon whom they can absolutely
rely.
In this particular election there is
danger to this element in a divided
vote.
And for this reason the Democrat
would ike TO see Mr.. Snithwick over
wheImingly victorious. He represents
