If the man who is now asking the
Legislature to appoint nim to represent

III, as "a director Of the bank, he found

Is not to be trusted to guard a still
larger and more important and public
trust. While the suspicion rests upon
him of having been faithless to trust
and of having left the weak to their
fate when he might have helped them,
he is not eligible to the place of
United States senator. Perhaps the
average man would have done as he
is suspected of having done, but sena-
tors have been in the past men of
heroic mould who, in the event of
danger. would stand by till the weak
were saved. Average men among whom
it has not been proven Mr.. homp-
son has no right to be included, have
not been of much service in the United
States senate. We want man who
can read his title clear, who has been
faithful to the charge committed TO
him. who has shown not wholly

1t Is thought at this date (January
24) that Mayor Graham will veto the
city ordinance reducing the price of
gas, passed by the council at their last
meeting. Yet everybody who has
dared to express his opinion of the
ordinance. approves it. 1t is not to be
expected that merchants OF whom the
president of the gas company buys
goods, will allow themselves to be
quoted In the newspapers with the
revolutiOnists who have had the hero
ism to say that two dollars a thousand
feet for gas Is an excessive charge.
Part of Mr.. Thompson's "infuence"
consists in his habit of taking quick
commercial revenge on anyone who
ventures to criticize his political
methods, or fails to perform the
services he is prone to ask OF
his friends. Through the eat
ing houses he controls, by means of
the gas company and insurance COM

patronage which he uses whiles seduc

gas ordinance.
AprOpOs of the timdity, which is so
striking a feature Of this village, |
hope the legislature will not interfere
with the Australian ballot. Under
this system dealers in commodities
clerks In stores and in Offices and all
kinds OF employees, are able to express
free and unhampered choice once or
twice a year, as the case may be. If
10 were not for this secret exercise
taken twice a year the American vOt.
ers' freedom would be in danger of
atrophy from lack of use. 1t is all
very well to say that the voter ought
to be willing to have his vote known.
So long as men are not created free and
equal and inasmuch as every year in
creases the inequality and whereas,
there are employers who assume a
right to influence the vote Of their
employees, IL is in the interest of free
dom and democracy that every man
should be allowed to cast his vote in
secret. This legislature, which has
shown such great caution in the cleo
tion Of senator, is not likely to rash
ly destroy any sort of a safeguard,
even one, which. like the Australian
ballot system, Is the invention of an
Englishman.
The testimony Of the enlisted men
In Colonel Stotzenburg's regiment re-
garding the charges which have been
made against him Is conflicting. Some
OF the soldiers who have spent most
of their time in the guardhouse are
very emphatic in the expression of
their conviction that Colonel Stotzen
burg Is unduly severe with his men
and careless of their comfort. While
the good soldiers who accepted army
discipline as matter of course, testify
that Colonel StOtzenburg is a good
officer who endeavors to do his duty.
The charges are too much mixed up
with the names of Major Scharman.
whose military experience was thought
by Governor Holcomb to be OF zoo
superficial a character to warrant a
commission when he first applied for
1t, and OF Captain Cotton, over whom
Colonel Stotzenburg was promoted, to
be considered on its merits. If Colonel
Stotzenburg has been gully OF con.
duct unbecOming an officer, the fact Of
Major Scharmann's aspirations and
disappointment and of Captain Col
tons pique has nothing to do with it
and ought not to influence the depart.
ment which the complaints will
finally reach. Governor POINTER has
requested that the charges against
Colonel Stotzenburg be put in writing
and when this Is done such irrelevant
matter must be eliminated.
The scene in the house when the
senate files in at noon to vote for
United States senator is impressive.
The house rises as the sergeant.at-
arms announces the approach of the
senate, for whom the central frort
chairs have been left vacant. After
the senate and the house are seated
the roll of both bodies is called by the
clerk, whose resonant voice fills the
room. Then the names of the mem
bers, with the counties which sent
them there. are called and they re.
spond with their choice for United
States senator, in some cases with
proud emphasis on the initials of the
name and lifting of the head as IL in

Shall We Have Beet Sugar Factory?

A number of Owosso business men
met in the parlors of M. l.. Stewart &
Co.'S. bank Tuesday, to talk over the
possibilities of getting the industry
started here and in particular to hear
what Mr.. Morris Osburn had to saw
about his visit to the Bay City beet
sugar factory the day before.
After they had assembled, Prof C. ID.
Smith, who has charge of the expert
ment station at the Agricultural College
and was in the city between trains, was
requested to speak to the gentlemen.
After few questions to find out the
situation in this city, Prof. Smith gave
them some valuable suggestions.
While he regards it as too late to carry
out plans for factory for the coming
season he thinks active measures should
be taken at once in every direction.
He offered to send quantity of sugar
beet seed for distribution and suggested
that analysis of the water proposed to
be used should be made. He also urges
all to continue their efforts to organize
and push the matter.
The remarks of Mr.. Osburn were full
of interest. He was greatly interested
in the extraordinary extent of the plant
and the amount of machinery required
in it, but his chief interest lay in the
farmers part In the new industry. He
found that the average price paid the
farmers was 81 SO per ton and he found
them still drawing in this product when
he was there, some coming from as far
as fourteen miles away. Among the
larger yields was that reported by one
farmer who raised but two acres with
out paying especial attention to them.
His soil was a clay loan. His yield
was forty tons for which he received
the average price of $3.50 per ton
making q yield of $3.50 for the two
acres Mr.. Osburn is quite enthusiast tic
over the possibilities which this new
industry offers to the farmers, especi-
has been proven to be especially adapted
to this crop. He believes that there is
no question about the raising of the
money for the enterprise since there is
abundant capital which is ready to take
advantage of the large profits the bust
ness offers, just as soon as 1t 10 proved
that there is an opening provided, the
principal thing being the pledging of
the required acreage for the raising Of
the beets.

Changes In owosso Telephone Office.


The moving of the Owosso Telephone
Co.'S. poles to the curb line on Exchange
street which was carried on last week
proceeded smoothly enough and with
out unusual difficulties until it came to
moving the Office pole from which the
heavy cables ran into the Office there to
have the separate wires in them run
through the dividing boards and
lightning arresters to the operating
boardss The pole had to be moved out
about three feet and half and the re-
sulting job of cutting in an extra
length of wire into all the wires which
had to be heightened was no small one
as may be imagined
To avoid the confusion and the annoy
ance to subscribers this work had to be
