LORDS R )BERTs' APPEAL.
Asks Englishmen Not to Turn Welcome Home
Of Troops into Drunken Orgies. e
(By the Associated Press.)


London, Nov. 3.-Lord Roberts sends
from Pretoria a striking appeal to his
countrymen to refrain from turning the
welcome of the home coming troops into
a drunken orgy. He expresses the sim
cere hope that the welcome will not take
the form of treating to stimulants and
thus lead to excuses that will tend to
degrade those whom the nation delights
to honor and lower the soldiers of the
Queen in the eyes of the world, which has
watched with undisguised admiration the
grand work they have performed for their
country.
Lord Roberts explains that he thus ap-
peals because of the distressing and dis
creditable scenes resulting from injudici-
Gus friends speeding the parting soldiers
by showing bottles of spirits into their
hands and pockets.

Register!

There are three veterans of the civil war
on the republican county ticket and every
one of them is deserving Of the votes of
every republican In the county from the
candidate for sheriff to the candidate for
representative and coroner. Messrs. Stephen
A. Crahe, Geo. T. Mason, and Hiram
Monroe are men who have served the
republican party faithfully and long and
they would have deserved the nominations
which are theirs even II they had never
been within sound of the musket firing of
the sixties. There should be no question
whatever about the election of all three Of
them even IL thew had been men who could
not hope for o soldier vote In the entire
county. They should however receive
votes enough from their comrades of the
sixties to swell their msjoritles to several
times those Of any other men on the ticket,
None of them ask the election because they
were old soldiers, but having been placed Ia
nomination by the republican party because
they are good men and men who are
capable, men who are efficient and homes,
aud men to be trusted, they should nov
receive not only the solid republican vo,,
but q complimentary majority vote fror
their fellow soldiers even though member
.. the opposing party.

Wellington r. Burt not only has his
lease by which he receives $50, 900 a

the lease is so drawn that it is payable
in gold coin of the United States, of the
standard of weight and fineness which
prevailed when the lease was drawn up.
More than that. after returning
from the democratic convention in
July of last summer, Mr.. Burt was
so afraid that there might still be some
loophole by which, in case the dem.
ocratic party was successful, the syndi
cate might be able to pay him off In
fifty cent dollars and cut his spending
money from that source down to
s25, 900 from $50, 200, that he had copy

Strange that Bryan, who accuses the
republicans of militarism in one breath
because we have little army of patri-
otto citizen soldiers putting down re-
bellion in the Philippines, should in'the
next breath criticise the same admins
tration because it did not run the most
imminent risk of involving this great
nation in bloody war with England in
the interest of the Beers for whom this
country by offering its good offices for
the settlement of their difficulties with
England did more than any other cOun-
try on the face of the earth did. Can
any thing more terrible, more insanely
savoring of cheap militarism be
thought of than to rush recklessly into
war with the country whose citizens
alone of all other counties in the
world speak the same language as dc
we ourselves! That would have beer
militarism gone mad. But that is wha
Bryan is criticising the administration
for not running this country into the
danger of doing.

Vote early in the day.

"Great is Tammany, and Croker is it's
prophet Those are the fawning
words of hattery with which William
Jennings Bryan cajoled the Tammany
tiger and its sachems while speaking
in New York last week. Can it be
possible that the American people have
their eyes so nearly shut to the dangers
which would spring from an alliance
with the most corrupt political organi-
cation in the country,if not in the whole
world, that there is even the slightest
danger that man who will fawn over
that organization with almost sacriligi-
Gus language may be elected president
of the United States2 Fancy Dick Gro
ker, the mighty and INSCRIPTIONS boss
of Tammany, and the prime mover in
the villianous ice trust, just fancy him
in close alliance with the man who sits
in the presidents CHART Fortunately
for this country and the institutions
and liberties of its people the American
people are not going to elect the man
who made those remarks to the Office
of president of the United States, but do
not have a share in making such a
calamity possible by doing anything else
than voting the straight republican
ticket and voting it early in the day
next Tuesday.

The Owosso Press does not seem to
stop and think that it would be quite as
fair politics for the republican papers
of the city to reprint its articles of two
years ago favoring the election of Hon.
Joseph w. Fordney as representative
in congress without explaining that the
Press was at that time an independent
paper, as it is for that paper now to re-
print what it has reprinted from the
Argus concerning Representative Mason
There could be no kick coming if the
Press did not convey the idea that the
Argus was a republican paper at the
time when the articles in question were
published by it. AS it is. the Press will
fully misrepresents the matter in an at.
tempt to make out that the republicans
are divided in their approval of the
course of Representative Mason, while
as matter of fact its quotations have
no more weight than would an attempt
to prove that the entire democratic
party in this county was going to vote
for Congressman Fordney by quoting
from the columns of the Press of two
years ago. The Press, perhaps of al
papers in the county, should remember
that newspapers and editors sometimes
change their positions in the matter
of politics.

take the pains TO write a two column
letter to the voters of this county en-
dorsing Mr. Mason for reelection in the
strongest possible terms for the mere
friendship he had for our representative
because two years ago he voted against
him for the speakership, and with
out any reference to whether OF not he
made good representative and looked
out for the interests of the voters and
the Taxpayers of this state? Do they
think he would give him the kind of an
endorsement which was given in the last
issue of The TIMES over his own sigma
ture unless he believed that the record
of Mr.. Mason on the matter of equal
taxation was all right? Do they think
that all of these men, the strongest
workers in the legislature so far as these
and other needed reforms were con.
cerned are all in some ring to get re.
turned to the legislature some man who
will vote against, or work against. or
even fail to do the best kind of work
for, the very measures which they have
spent so much of their time and energy
in working for? Do the farmers of this
county prefer to take the assertions of
some political opponents as to Mr..
Mason's record even when those asser-
tons are not made openly so that their
untruth can be exposed, rather than to
believe the words of such men as those
named above who have addressed them
over their own signatures in the
columns of this paper9 The TIMES can
not believe that they prefer any such
testimony as that instead of taking the
words of those who dare make their as
sertions in print and over their own
names.
THE TINES believes that the farmers
of this county are sincere in their desire
to advance the cause of equal taxation
and 1t also believes that they have good
enough judgment and enough confidence
in their best known fellow farmers to
lead them to decide to return the rep
resentative who, though one of the
most modest of men, is at the same time
one of the most self reliant, one whose
honesty and integrity cannot be i'm
peached, and one who is declared by
the recognized leaders of the causes for
which the farmers of this county have
stood as one of the most valuable
members of the house so far as the adj
vancement of their cause was concerned,
and in every other way in which the
welfare of the people was concerned.

The nominees on the republican
ticket were all thoroughly discussed
before their names were ever placed on

cans of the county delegated the right
to name their candidates. Now stand
by the entire ticket. What else could
make republican majority worth any
thing in the county? If one candidate

good enough record to convince any voter
that Judge Matthew Bush Is the best man

probate. Wouldn't you rather think that
the handling of your estate was to go
through the Office with a man who has such
a record for the faithful and just per-

be In the hands of a new and untried Of

1t would be a good plan to make sure Of
that majority being the largest which the
Judge has ever received and The TINES
believes that when the votes are counted IL
will be found that his majority is the

Bush hes been too good an official for the
