It is stated that Mr. Bryan may take the stump and rnake several politioal speeches in Michigan dwing the coming carupaign. Tbo system of profit sharing between employers and ernployed has been abandoned by some thirty firrns who tried it íor a term of two or three years. It failed to work as the employees did not share in the losses when they carne. At the Chicago convention that norninated Win. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, for president, Michigan cast 9 votes for Bryan on the first ballot, 28 on the second, and solid support from then until the fifth ballot, when he received the nomination. In Atchison, Kansas, the republican connty convention voted down by twothirds majority, a resolution indorsing the St. Louis platform, and both the papers of Atchison city have repudiated the action of the national convention. They are being followed by very many more papers in that distrassful state. Mayor Pingree got a big boost for the republican nomination for governor of Mi higan, on Monday, when the 97 delegates from Wayne connty were instructed by the republican couuty convention to vote as a unit for him iu the state oonvention at Grand Kapids, Aug. 5. "Pingree" was the only name mentioned at the convention in onneotion with the nomination. Charles Flowers, of Detroit, will present the name of the mayor to the conrention.

But it looks to the Globe as though it would be against public polioy for the uuiversity or tlie state to set itself np iu any business that would compete seriously with those industries already established by private enterprises. There is a vast ainouut of rooney invested in printing material iu this state - capital that is taxed every year for the support of the nniversity. There is no question that the necessary printiug for Michigan nniversity can be done by private offices as economically and probably inuch more economically thau it can be done by the university. " The prices on printing in Ann Arbor, and that done for the nniversity forrns no exception, are already so kv, Mr. Globe, that if they were reduced any fnrther, the margin would be represented by a 0.
