GHulGE FOR THE PLACE.
General Recoanitior. of  His  Qualifications to Represent the Eleventh
District,
"Definite announcement of the retirement of Congressman A. B. Dar-.
ragh at the end of the present term j
brings forward from the central part
of thg district as the logical candi- j
date to succeed him our fellow townsman, Dennis E. Alward
Mr. Darragh has honorably represented the district, faithfully serving
four terms, which is twice as long as
any of his predecessors. Much has he
done. As member of the committee
on post offices and post roads he promoted the extension of rural free delivery throughout this district, secured
appropriations for public buildings at
various points and harbor enlargement as well. An old soldier himself
he has watched carefully the interests
of the old veterans. Likewise his influence adopted the nomination of
or, Mr. Mesiok, was from the other
extreme northwest. It seems reasonable now that a man should be chosen from the central part of the district.
The following dispatch from Washington indicates Mr. Alward's position on the congressmanship:
lam willing" to get together with
the other candidates and decide
which would make the best run
in interests of theparty harmony
and the best service of disrridt. •
And if they decide I should be a-
mong those to withdraw I will do
sq. If they should decide upon
me as best to run I will unuer-
takeit. It may' be that people
of the district will think my present work in "Washington would enable me to give the district better
service as a member of congress
than would otherwise be the case.
As for other candidates, I presume George G. Oovell, of Traverse Oity, now district attorney
for western Michigan, and Frank
H. Dodds, of Mt. "Pleasant, will be
in it, and probably others. The
office has been held for eight
years in the southern portion of
the district, and before that by
the extreme northern part. I am
located in the middle, and perhaps
this will aid my prospects at this
time.
Above all Mr. Alward is a man who
appeals to the rank and file. Oandor
' and sincerity, modesty and inbred
gentility, loyalty and friendship are
characterestic of the man. He i&of
the people, believes in the people, |
and is deeply sensible of the abiding
influences that make for development of human liberty. Sound on
the issues of the day, he is a splendid
type of American manhood, and as
representive at Washington would
acquit himself honorably alike to
nation, state and district.

These eliminations and reductions
mark the inauguration of a policy decided upon by the committee and tie
commissioner of Indian affairs to do
away with all non-reservation schools
in the United States.
Pursuant of this there was placed
in the bill by the committee a clause
authorizing the commissioner to find
out what states will accept the plants
of non-reservation schools with the
agreement to hereafter conduct them
as educational institutions to which
Indians shall be admitted 'as on a par
with white children.
The above dispatch is entirely contrary to the recently expressed opinion of Representative Dalzell of
Pennsylvania, onetof the leaders cf
the nationalhouse of Representatives.
This action while only the opinion of
a committee indicates serious thought
of change, of policy toward Indians.
What the outcome will be cannot be
foretold. With one state educational
institution at Mt. Pleasant it does not
seem probable that the suggestion in
the bill now before congress that such
schools be utilized by the states
wherein they are situated as state
educational institutions will be car-

the outset of the unexpected incident-
rushed down stairs hurling this question at the janitor's head, "Where

dignitary with hands upraised and
mouth wide open tried to grasp the
situation, madly made the complete

meditation, suddenly became con-

' A few weeks ago one of our prominent Olare citizens was riding complacently on a Detroit street car,,
seemingly deep in thought,
Two, swell dressed young ladies
hailed the car, entered it and found,
only standing room. One of them,
whisjpered to her companion, "I'm.
going to get a seat from one of these
men. You just see."
. Looking down the row of men she
quickly picked out our townsman as
a sedate, fatherly sort of man and
sailing up to him opened fire: "My
dear Mr. Jones! How delighted I
am to meet you. You are getting to
be almost a stranger. Will I accept
your seat? Well, I do feel tired I
heartily admit.   Thankyousomuch."
Our friend listened most innocently and then quietly rose and gave
her his seat saying: "Sit down Janer
my girl. Don't often see you out on
wash day. You must feel tired I am
sure.   How is your mistress?
The young lady • got her seat but
her sprightliness suddenly disappeared.
The gentleman of this episode was
no less a personage than Joseph
Hudson.
No doubt a fight will be made by
senators and representatives of states,
where there are such schools, to retain them for the present at least.
The recommendations of the committee are not necessarily final, but
inasmuch as the work of the house
of representatives is very largely
done in committees, it certainly
makes it look rather dubious for Central Michigan's Indian school.
