The Gubernatorial Issue.

From the Saginaw Courier Heral'.
The time has arrived when the repub-
licans of Michigan should give the mat
ter of the selection of their candidate
for governor serious consideration
Colonel Bliss was candidate for the
nomination for governor four years ago
against Gov. Pingree. He was can
didate not only because he desired the
honor himself, but for the reason that
he was urged to become candidate by
large element in the republican party
in the state not in favor of the nomina-
ton, of Mr.. Pingree. Col Bliss made
ton but the popularity of Gov. Pingree
resulted in the defeat of the stalwart
Saginaw veteran. Col Bliss made the
sacrifice not only for himself but for
those who urged him to become can
didate He accepted his defeat man
fully, supported Gov Pingree and the
entire state ticket during the campaigns
of 1S96-9S, and has ever been an active
and consistent republican. He has
never shirked a single political obliga-
ton imposed by his party and his friends
believe that those Michigan republicans
for whom he stood four years ago owe
it to the party and to him to use every
honorable effort to give him the nom
ination at the next state nominating
convention.
Justice at the hands of the republican
party entities Col. Bliss to the nomina-
ton. Not only this, but in view of the
existing conditions Col. Bliss and he
alone can unite the elements of discord
which divide the party on the subject of
who shall be the standard bearer of the
party in the ensuing compaign. 1t is a
presidential year. and hence essential
that every vote be lined up for the party.
With Col Bliss in the lead the Pingree
and anti-Pingree contention will disap-
pear and in close and magnificent array
the grand old party in Michigan will
sweep forward to triumph in No
vember next

Governor Mount on Good Roads.

Governor James A. Mount, of lndi-
ana, who has been practical farmer
all his life since reaching an age of
maturity made the following statements
in an address before the Indiana State
Board of Agriculture:
Good roads are inseparably con-
nected with progress. Like abundant
harvests, they contribute to the good of
all. The isolation of the country home
is the farmers greatest barrier. Bad
roads enlarge this barrier" Iron
sharpeneth iron, so man sharpeneth
the countenance of his friend" This
proverb reveals a truth found in every
day experience. that by friction of mind
through frequent contact, the intellect
is quickened and the mind expanded.
Conditions that tend to isolate, should
be removed as speedily as possible.
Facilities for daily contact with the
worlds best thought and progress,
should be accelerated. The highest sue
cess, socially, financially and intellect
ually, cannot be attained until we have
good thoroughfares. The restriction
of marketing farm products to periods
when the roads are passable, prevents
marketing to the best advantage both
as to time, cost and price.
/ heard farmer in southern Indiana
say, that so, 900 was lost TO the farmers
on hay alone, on one road extending
eight miles from the market into the
country, This loss, which was sustained
in one year, was caused by impossible
roads when prices were best One
years loss on one crop, would have paid
for improving one-elghth of the dis.
tance This illustrates the financial
loss caused by bad roads.
The farmer whose family is held in
the thralldom of bad roads for a large
part of the year. is subjected to an or
deal that trammels progress, letters So
cial growth and retards intellectual de
velopment. The farmer who lives on
a mud road, will be likely to have all
his'environents in harmony herewith
