Editorially the Mihing Gazette cn gratulutcs Escanaba on acquiring th largest match factory in the world. Why? Match factories are "light" manufacturers and tho business is eternally producing "strikes." The announcement in The News last veiling that I lev. E. Sedweek would ictir.- as pastor of the Calumet M.

Mr. Sedweek has been most sue. toHsl'ul in his pastorate and Is gener ally considered one of the strongest men In the Detroit conference, his as signm nt for five years to the Calumet M.

The problem of what w shall do with tin-m re mains unsolved. Indeed, beond a few speeches t the gallery, cngre-s iio-r has Seriously considered this, one of the gravest questions with which the republic Is confronted. The advance In wage made by the 1'nited States Steel Corporation are taken as reflecting the excellent con ditions of tho Industry, and tin- ex pectation that favorable condition Will prevail for the balance of the year. Sentiment In tho copper Indus try Is not so optimistic, but there are some who maintain that consumption Is Increasing rapidly and that this summer will see substantial r-u tlons in the surplus. The administra tion Is making some progress "with Its railway regulation bill and has hnMs of passing other measures, but as a rub the present session of congress promises to be a negative, on-. The laWr troubles have quite generally been settled through advances In wages. All around there Is much In tho outlook to encourage the belief that 1910 will be a good business year throughout. I"c you ever top to romslder for n moment whit part baseball plays In the Uvea of the American ieoplc: from the tiniest cross-roads hamlet with Its team of boys to the metropolis of the country with its teams in the two big leagues .' It is a stupendous thing, when you come to consider it, the growth of this sport, until it U today un actual business with millions and millions invested in plants and teams. Just what place baseball occupies In our lives was probably never brought home more clearly than at Washington on the opening day when President Taft occupied a box. sat for two hours watching the game and played his own part In the opening ceremonies by tossing out the ball which was first put In play. It Is a great thing, this srt; which has become so much a part of a na tion that the head of the govern ment can give it the support of his presence, and hugely enjoy it as well. Millions of words have been writ ten to tell why baseball is so popu lar, but all this wisdom can be summed up in a very few. It Is clean, wholesome outdoor sport, strengthen ing to the body, quickening to the brain, and there has not Wen a touch of real scandal concerning It in years. The men who have brought baseball to its present place have eliminated the gambling features and other ob jectlotial ch cracterlstlcs of the sport and tho result is apparent In the fact that the story of a thrown game Is as rare from the major leagues down to the sand tots as an honest alder -nan In Pittsburg. The United States government Is promoting the movement looking to the holding of a congress of American Indians, representative of all the tribes and nations of this country, to assemble in Muskogee, Okla., from June 27 to July 4, inclusive, of this year. This will be the first gathering of the kind since 1S7S but It will have a scope- and Importance beyond any ever held, although It may be lacking in xome of the spectacular features which threw a glamor of romance over the earlier pow-wows. In the coming congress a very large percentage of the delegates will repre sent tribes that have embraced the ways of civilization. Compared with those who took part In the congress at Muskogee, then in the Indian Ter ritory, thirty-two years ago, the In dians who will speak for the tribes and nations this summer will be edu cated 'men. Some of the tribes have made tremendous trides forward In the last generation, particularly In taking up vocations that enable their members to become self-sustaining. Tho Indian population of the coun try at the present time, according to the reports of agents of the bureau of Indian affairs. Is somewhat over !on,- 000. AVhen the last census was taken imong the tribes It was found that no fewer than 1 11.000 individuals wore the dresa of ordinary American citi zens. T he influence of the schools supported by the government for In dian education and industrial training is making itself felt very satisfactorily and the coming congress Is intended mainly to bring out the further needs of the aborigines, to hasten their progrcs- toward the time when they shall become sclf-dexndent and self supporting. nouid. The immediate cause of the decision of Senator Aldrich to retire from pub lic life at the expiration of bis present Senatorial term probably Is best stat ed in the explanation given to per sonal friends some time ago that he Is "tired of being a pack horse." His retirement at this time undoubtedly Is a matter f jxrsonal preference, of regard for his health, and of unwil lingness to continue to serve as the personal target for all the attack dl rftcd against a party system of which he has been, not the creator and benetic iary, but a loyal servant. Senator Aldrich is not the embodi ment sole of Aldrichism. Nor does he share with Speaker Cannon the Joint embodiment of Aldrichism and Caniionism. which, differing in form. are Identical in spirit. The retirement of speaker Cannon from th' Commit tee on Rules did not piu r.i end to 'annonlsm, nor will his retirement from the upoakcr's desk, even if forc ed, accomplish that result. No more i I the retirement of Senator Aldrich from bis senatorial .seat mark the end of Aldrichism. In either case, th' "system." if that term can be used to designate the control of parties and their legislative majorities, will have been deprived of the services of a re sourceful and powerful agent. And chiefly because It is unlikely that equally 111 int and capable men can be found to take their places, optoni tion to the "stem" will be tho gain- The incidental nlgnlficnnce of these retirements, the coincidence of which l of Importance, is interesting. Sena top Aldrich has been styled the "gen era! manager of the senate." popu larly be has Wen known as the "Itoss" of the x-natc. In reality he has Wen the Master Politician of that r-dy. Ho has dominated that bxly for years, and by that means has dominated na tlonal legislation and tho course of national affairs because be has been" a master at the Pame of politic which the republi n pnrty as an organiza tion had adopted and has developed. II" has been a party leader been use he ban ben a master merchant In to litieal wares. nut there is a ' new game on now. In which neither Al drich nor Cannon are masters and in which tho people are Wfvcr nnd more attentive players than' ever Wforo. The general manager of the national senate never considered It necessary to ko before the people, to summon them to counsel -with him. Such party leadership ns was his laid no such duties on him. p.ut there has come about a new conception of party lead ership. The people arc awakening to their responsible pnrt In politic. They are appreciating their privilege In the control of Ugllatlon. They are elect ing leaders who can lend ti as well GRANDPA SCATTERGOOD. rr - - - -j"; 7' T"'r---v f " '" "" ' ' V " f ' "1"""r'-MI uTearmc : wm comcs awo) rT tm there you) ' Vthat is the way tq IT AUGHT 6 MAS AND PITty lllr2 fcATCH ATtRCfc KKVT&jj SOMEBODY I WUSTAtt V- VOflV TTPJ. ofc lj f V- m 1 f J t r-v-l xAl jJgl fiTAtNrwJ. yi 3 llVo?rV ("fig (what that po; cL Y -A, - ' - as command, ami who will recognl.e accountability to those whom they ex pect to follow loyally.

The play was admirably suited to this golden voiced Cm-man comedian and Wilson made nn even mre favorable impres sion than on his previous visits to this city.

During the action of the play, Wil son Introduced a number of new songs, I composed by himself, among which were, "Mixed (Jcrmnn," "Erin's Isle," "Love Thoughts," "Hanshee" and "The Nightingale Song".

Will Open Week's Engagement at the Calumet Theater, April 25. The Mock Said Alll stock company will open a week's engagement at the Calumet theater commencing Monday, April 2. This company carries plenty of talent both in the dramatic line and In the vaudeville Introduced between acts. Mock Sad Alll, who for years was as sociated with the popular Frank E. Long stock company, has selected a company of artists to assist him. Some of the principal features are Col. Hrydon's troop of trained Eskimo dogs which are a show by themselves, u ml one of the most expensive features carried by any company. Cd.

New Play to be Presented at Calumet Theater in Near Future. "The Third Degree," by Charles Kleon. author of "The Lion and the Mouse" and other successful plays which Is to W presented In Calumet soon Is a play that should not W over looked by those who are searching for something "a little different." It Is n play not easily forgotten. Mr. Klein has again succeeded In transplanting human life upon the theatric stage; he has done even more: he has woven a love story of sweetness and purity touched with the mythical light of ro mance and aglow with poetry and ten derness. The unique and the pictur esque hold a certain charm In life and it Is because Mr. Klein's heroine Is so out of the ordinary and the theme it self po unusual that one involuntarily finds himself working for n suitable solution of the problem regardless of the author. "The Third Degree," which Is n hold find sensational expose of the brutal police Inquisition system, serves to In troduce nome of New York's best known types, Including n celebrated lawyer, n famous society leader, and his second wife, also his weak and In line non. nn uncooth political police captain, nn eminent physician and sv- oral other characters familiar to met ropolitans. A death ccurrlng under mysterious t ircumstances leads to the arrest of the society leader's son, who is event ually Indicted for murder. This son has married a girl who la far his In ferior in the social scale and for that reason his proud father has disowned him. lie is kit with no one but the young wife to lend him a helping hand in his hour of need. This young wife calls on her father-in-law for assist ance and Is repulsed. She will not be discouraged, however, because down deep in her heart she knows her hus band is Innocent. She seeks the great est lawyer in New York to defend him. Itlchard Ihewster, the lawyer, becomes interested in her on account of her "crystal frankness," she la penniless, but that docs not deter him from tak ing up her ease. The solution of the problem, which the lawyer works out so admirably Is one that will appeal to all alike, because It Is natural and like- ly. INFANT MORTALITY Greater Number of Births as Well a Deaths Among Poor. An investigation Just made by the New York milk committee with n view to getting definite Information as to the effects on infant mortality "f social and ccomoinlc conditions has resulted in sine interesting disclos ures. Three sections of the city were selected for study, varying much In size owing to different densities of population, but each containing about 7,.r,uo persons. In tho lirst, inhabited largely by the rich, only 37 children were horn in a year; In the second, where the tin ai instances of the people were what Is called cmforta.1le, the births numbered 1C0, while In the third where poverty prevailed, 431 babies wero born. Rut during two summer weeks, one of them the hottest of the year, not one of the 37 babies or of the 160 died, while among the 434 there were 16 deaths. The figures are not large enough to warrant any final conclu sion as to percentages, but doubtless they are fairly characteristic of the three classes. The Immunity of the babies in the two more fortunate classes during this hot fortnight only happened to bo complete, and that peculiarity would not be likely to bo repeated. That the one group did as well ns the other is explained by the Investi gators nn due to equally efficient care in both, In tho one case, however, largely the care of highly trained nurses, ami in the second to that of mothers with leisure and Intelligence. Among the very poor each of the much more numerous babies had n decidedly smaller chaneo of life, but many more than enough of them sur vived to outnumber the other groups. New York Times.
