DIVISION IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, April 1.-THE house was
in session ten minutes today, and then
adjourned until Saturday. without
transacting any business. The session
was long enough, however. to furnish
occasion for the display of a division

the recent caucus had not been able
to heal. Dearmond, of Missouri, ap-
peared as the leader of the opposition

THE TIMES hopes that the city conven-
ton of the republican party will choose the
best men among the candidates for the vari-
GUS offices. First, let man be good citi-
zen, man with ideas of his own, who COP
trolls his own action and is not a tool for any
faction; man whose business will not re-
qure him to use his position for his own ad-
vantage where 1t Is inimical tn the city's
welfare; and lastly republicans, men who
have earned by their service In the party or
to the party the recognition they seek or
their friends and neighbOrs seek for them.
No citizen should refuse to accept nomi-
nation II the voters in the party select him
as their candidate. If this line Is followed
out there will be general satisfaction at the
work of the party to which the people have
looked many a time for relief from unwise
legislation and received IL; and to which
they are looking today for relief from the
same conditions which they have relieved
before, brouy hit on by the same methods,
coupled with a wide discomfort among a
portion who were deluded into looking for
something for nothing. for relief promised
by leaders, as we believe, who had not the
country's interest at heart but were looking
for personal gain.

To the Voters of Michigan:
The legislature of this state, y practi,

vision, has voted to amend the Constitution
of this state, so that hereafter theattOrDey.
general shall reside at the capital luriDg bis
official term and give all of histime and
strength to the duties of his office. A
In return for this work they ave said
that he shall receive three thouand five
hundred dollars ($3. 500 a year, ilstead of
eight hundred, which was put in the con-
stitution nearly fifty years ago, witt the un-
Outstanding that as there was thenlitte for
the attorney general to do he chld give
nearly all OF his time to his own bdIiDess.
. l approve of this amendment, nd now
that 1t has been submitted to you for the
purpose of determining whether lou will
ratify and approve that which you repre-
sentatives have already done, desie to ad-
dress you in advocacy of this amendment,
by using the strongest language thlt can
command.
AS your governor, chosen by yOuto exc
cute the laws, am anxious to do 8, to the
best of my ability. But on a momnt's re-
Election you will see that 1t is absolutely
necessary IL any work is to be done which
has for its object the defense of your rights
and the protection of your interest, that
the time of the attorney. general mist be
taken up. His place is here at the c.pital.
But 1t Is wrong to ask that this service be
performed unless some provision is made
for his pay. Unless you, as voters oil this
state, are willing to ratify this amendment
then one of three things must follow: Ether
that no attempt shall be made to protect
your interests, or that the attorney general
must work practically for nothing, or the
custom be continued of hiring outside at.
torneys and paying them literally for dong
the work which you elect the attorney .gen-
eral to perform
The simple fact is, as shown by the eff
cial records, you have paid out for this ser.
vice. on an average, much more per year
than the amount named in this amendment.
What the state of Michigan has lost by rea.
son of its refusal to pay decent salary to a
good attorney, no man can tell; in my judg-
ment it would run into the millions. The
proposed amendment would cost the aver,
age taxpayer so much less than cent a
year that it would be difficult to compute
In the interest, then, of good government,
in the interest of economy, and as one de.
termined, so far as can, to protect and de.
fend your rights. 1 ask you to vote "Yes'
on the proposition to amend the consttu.
ton, as submitted to you.
Very respectfully,

The Real Election.

While it Is not conceded that anyone
nominated by the republican caucuses and
convention is sure of an election, yet the
city is republican and the men on that
ticket are supposed to stand the best show
for election. Thus the responsibility of
nominating capable and efficient men rests
most heavily upon that party. We urge
the voters who affiliate with that party, to
turn out to the caucuses and do their duty
by their choice of candidates for aldermen,
supervisors, constables and delegates, for
upon them selected is most likely to rest
the conduct of the city's affairs. the influence
of the city i'm the county's affairs, and the
amount of taxes we are called upon to pay.
The policy of the party will be to keep
down the city and county expenses to the
lowest notch, consistent with faithful and
efficient service. The only place the voters
can nominate such men as they want is at
the caucuses and their duty is to attend
them. Aldermen should be men who have
a position, business or profession in life In
which they have been successful, and men
who have desire to do the best they know
how for the interest of the city at large.
Such men will undoubtedly be elected, and
IL the republicans name them In their
caucuses, the citizens will elect them at the
polls.

A Death of Torture.

Uncivilized mankind delights in tortur.
ng death. The deeper the agony, the
greater their supposed glerification. Stole
ism is the foundation of their belief. Not
so with civilized beings. Every pain calls
forth an effort to flee from it; to be rid of
its source.
Herein lies the foundation of the true
practitioners skill. The physician is re-
nowned solely through his ability to sue
cessfully cope with disease and its con-
sequent attending evils.
In direct proportion to the cures perform
ed is the physicians fame. DIR. Ottman
succeeds in not only allaying pain, derived
from trivial sources, but cures with unerring
facility, the most malignant diseases as we'll
as the most obstinate affections. Have
you cancer? DR.. Gilman will cure you.
Have you rheumatism? Have you partial
paralysis? DR.. Ottman will cure you. DO
you suffer in any way? Drs. b. S. & Co.
never fail to cure any case they undertake..
Thousands can testify to their skill. Re.
markable as they may seem, they are but
the inevitable result of superior skill. He
makes no claim he cannot substantiate.

From Governor Rich's 1906 Message.
III. S. PINGREE,
Governor.

While the people have in the past refused
to vote an increase of salaries, they would
have done so cheerfully had they under.
stood the real situation. The interests of
the state OF Michigan require that state
officers should attend personally to tht
duties of their Office. If this were done
enough would be saved in salaries paid Il
the departments to largely compensate TO
the increase. 1t is not only in the interes
of economy, but in the interest of good
government. 1t would be saving OF
thousands of dollars to the taxpayers of
Michigan, should an amendment be adopt
ed giving fair compensation and requiring
officers to give personal attention to the
duties of their respective offices. The
attorney general is paid the Insignificant
sum of eight hundred dollars year as the
legal adviser of all the state officers, elective
and appOintive; also railroad, insurance
and various other departments, where
corporations employ attorneys educated
and experienced in these particular branch
es. 1t cannot help resulting in loss to
the state. / believe the state is losing
enough to pay a reasonable salary to four
encouragement, through lack of paying a
fair compensation to one. AS an illustra-
ton of the amount lost in this way on
account of the small salary paid to this
officer, in 1890 alone, the board of state
auditors allowed for attorney fees and
expenses the sum of $12,9Sl.s4. That
occasions may arise when additional coun-
sci is needed is altogether probable. But
if this provision were adopted, the amount
saved in extra counsel would pay the addi-
tional salary of the attorney general sew
eral times over, and believe he would save
the state much more by having the cases
attendedto promptly and properly"
The proposed amendment this spring is
different than any other ever submitted,
inasmuch as 1t requires the attorney general
to live at the capitol during his term of
Office, and give all of his time and attention
to the state.
