Aftor Ohio was set off as a separate state the Lowor Peninsula of 3 Michigan was joined to Indiana territory. In 1805 Michigan be came a separate torrltory with about Its present boundaries. Tboro was, however, a great disputo over a small strip of land In the extremo southern portion which waa claimed by Ohio. This almost led to blood shed, but was tinnily settled by Michigan releasing her claim to the disputed area sod receiving ns compensation an addition to the Upper Peninsula. On this basis Michigan wns admitted to the Union In 1887 and boonun the twenty-sixth state. Michigan has a unique situa tion, as it is bounded by the thr^e largest of the Groat Lakes, und divided Into two peninsulas. This gives lt a const line lnrger lu proportion to tts area than any of tho other states. It ls named aftor Lake Michigan, which ls the Algonquin word, "Mlchl-gan," meaning "great Ma."

Washington, Supt. 7.-It would not bo nows to tho people in South Carolina to Inform thom from Wash ington now that .loo W. Tolbert, of i\inoty-Six, was supreme dictator of Republican patronage In tho Pal motto State, that Information having boon conveyed to thom some weeks ago. Tho interesting part of tho maller now is found, so far as Tol bert being the big boss of South Carolina ls concerned, in tho fact that, hy tho wuy nominations for Carolina olTlcos aro piling up, both in tho way of examinations to bo held within tho next few weeks and by tho naming of "acting postmas ters" at various points, tho real snag Is to bo encountered when tho Senate reconvenes after Its thirty-day recess and tackles the Job of confirming the Tolbert and Harding selections. While no one is heing herein quot ed for obvious reasons, enough ls known to make it more than plain that not hy any means will all of the aforesaid Tolbert-llarding nomi nees gol hy, unless present signs fail, and there is not much chance of that. As stated hoforo, interesting de velopments are rumored to he in sight over tho Slate. Tolbert, of course, is "hoss"' so far as the rcc mending of post?nico candidates goes, hut Ibero is the big. over-prosenl Se?alo of the United states to he mel and reckoned with. it is Invariably a rule that no man will he confirmed when a Senator of tin1 State where the nomination is lo bc made objects "Senatorial cour tesy" is supremo just here and al ways has been, and will continue to he.

S.-Tho hard worked Representative Volstead and the lobby of the Anti-Saloon League find that ibero is still work for will ing bands to do. A loophole has been discovered In the prohibition statutes, for It ap pears that, while great care was ta ken to provide that physicians could not exceed a certain limit in pre scribing liquor for internal use, not a thing was said regarding external uso. As a result it is seriously argued that wore a physician to reach the conclusion that his patient needed a bath of whiskey, he could prescribe lt, and the druggist would be forced to furnish enough whiskey to fill a spacious tub. Such conditions, according to the Anti-Saloon League, could not bo tol oiatod. For a "souse" could bo ac quired, tho league argues, through the pores of tho skin oven were tho patient. In response to the doctor's orders and the law. to refrain from sipping even a wee drop through Ills lips. Correction is promised as soon as the league ca? muster its outside forces and issue orders to its forces in Congress.
