The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1899-08-04

The state teachers institute which was
held In this city and closed last week en-
joyed the distinction of having the largest
attendance of any institute held In the state
SO far this summer. While great credit Of
course is due to the instructors and especi.
ally the conductor of successful state in
stitute, it may safely be said and with per-
feet justice to all, that by far the greater
part of the credit of the Owosso institute
belongs to Mr.. o. l.. Bristol Shiawassee's
painstaking commissioner of schools. Mr..
Bristol spared neither time nor pains for
weeks before the institute In working up an
interest in II and in making all needed ar.
engagements for the same until when the
time came 1t found Shiawassee teachers
ready to turn out in full force and with lots
of enthusiasm to make the institute a sue
cess under any conductor.

Mr.. Geo. A. johnson. the newly APP

informed the Ann Arbor Times that all
the above men are "Alger men and good
members of the Grand Army of the Re-

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1899-08-04
ADOPTED A SOUND PLATFORM.
Iowa Republicans Stand by Gold Stand
ard, Indorse Mckinley and Declare
Against Trusts.

ard, IndorSe Mckinney ana declare
Against Trusts.
The Iowa republicans placed them
selves on record at the state conven'
tion Wednesday in a way which en-
titles them to the respect Of every
intelligent citizen and lover of good
government throughout the country.
The whole tone Of the platform is ex-
actly in line with what Harper's
Weekly two weeks ago predicted would
be the position Of the republican party
in the next campaign; position which
it claimed could not fail to appeal to
the judgment of thinking and patriotic
citizens everywhere.
On the money question the party
re-affirmed its plank Of '96. 1t recOg-
nizes gold as the only standard Of
value in use at the present time in
commercial nations and affirms that
the United States should establish it's
permanence here, and should keep all
money on parity with gold. 1t de-
nounces the free coinage Of silver at a
ratio Of 16 to / and testifies to the
esteem in which the sound money
democrats are held by republicans Of
Iowa and elsewhere.
The plank on trusts is just what
might be expected of a body Of level
headed statesmen and confirms to a
letter the assertion in the editorial
above referred to that there is well
defined movement against trusts in
the republican party and that its
efforts to control them would unde-
niably be safer than any socialistic
opposition to them In the democratic
party as it is made up today. Well
realizing that the outcome Of the
trust movement is still quite profile
NAUTICAL, it demands their restraint by
adequate laws if they shall prove to
be hurtful to the people, common
sense way of going at the matter
which furnishes the only method of
eventually solving the problem with
out results perhaps even more disas-
trous than the effect of the trusts
themselves would be.
The administration of President
Mckinley was unanimously endorsed
in no uncertain terms, and the change
from the discomfort and commercial
prostration which prevailed at the
time of his election to the prosperity
of today is commented on. The high.
est confidence is expressed In the
wisdom and high purpose of the Presi
dent. The skill and valor Of our army
and navy is eulogized and the asser.
tion Is made that there shall be nc
division among republicans until all
in arms against the flag shall confess
its supreme right and admit that even
in the far east 1t is the symbol OF JUS
tice and liberty.
The platform is in every respect
worthy OF the great state from which
it comes and is one more instance OF
the happy faculty the Iowa republi-
cans have OF saying the right thing In
exactly the right way.

CLYDE

Phil Doyle, who has been foreman in
the moulding department of the Y. x

from Reno yesterday where he has
oeen experimenting work in a foundry.
lie Said yesterday that the Reno
foundry was at present busy moulding
an IRON front for the new building that
Is 30 be erected by Johnny Myer Of
this city. Mr.. Doyle further said that
the reason the Reno foundry could do
the work cheaper than the Carson
shops was because they had the pat
terms and mOulds for such work.
Johnny Myer is evidently planning a
splendid building and everyone who
knows John realizes that it will be
n0dern n every respect.

Stay With Your Town

An OBJECT lesson of more han common
force has just been offered Carson by her
sister town Reno. Reno, by its push and
energy has been granted a free deliver,
system Of the mails and it was only bv
lack of energy that Carson is suffered TO
remain in the back stretch of old time
systems.
The trouble with the capitol town Of
the State Is that everyone is confronted to
let the town run itself and not take a
hand III pushing things along.
Carson is, in a measure. bandicannad
by being off the main line of the railroad.
but this could be regulated in a measure
oy everyone lending a helping hand and
pushing every public enterprise along
instead of quietly resting and waiting for
some n~eIghbpring town to lake the bust
ness out of its hands.
The trouble is thai the citizens of this
city fail to tand' Ivy the r own town.
by every mail ranI-a bunch of cata-
u which are int'ic to read like fairy
stories, and as q l.atuIal matter the ladies
send their cash uut Of town to some
foreign store, just because they think
they are getting things cheaper. They
forget that the merchants and towns
people are the ones that furnish employ
inent torthe husbands and brothers. and
the money that is given the,a in wares
goes out of town never to return.
Ntay with your town, don't let the out
SIDE world get The benefits of our roer-
'hants endeavors. They ..only make a
