The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1901-05-31

A few months ago a writer IN the Atlantic
Monthly wrote bit of most delicious satire
on the tendency of people to act and think
only by crowds, conventions, etc. Sunday
the same tendency cropped out when the
congregations of the city were asked to rise
il they were 'n favor OF the enforcement
of law" 1t Is somewhat to be doubted If
there are at present any officials In the city
who are in need of any such encourage
ment as the rising OF an entire congregation
on such proposition means. 1t would be
a peculiar person who would not be in
favor of the enforcement of law, at least
generally speaking. Ana it does not reflect
any too much credit on any congregation to
be asked TO express itself on the subject in
that way. On the other hand If the vote
was meant 10 determine whether the con-
gregatiOns agreed with Mayor Emory's de-
termination To close up some stores or
places of business-nO one ii seemsknew en-
sctlv what OIes-then the proposition was
at least stated unfairly and the persons who
believe in the enforcement of law, but do
not necessarily believe that all lines of busi-
ness should he prevented from running as
they would be If the law were taken literal
ly and as literally enforced, were to say the
least put In false position. In other
words under the pain of being misunder.
stood rs being opposed to the general en-
forcement of law they were in that case
placed In the position of endorsing course
of action which apparently had not been the
same for two days in succession during the
week just passed. There are ways of show
ing ones practical sympathy with all that is
best and reasonable in the enforcement of
law or in any other matter which mean
more and are less distasteiul than the "all
who are in favor of everything good, rise'
plaD, as said above. All good people are in
favor of what is coed, but opinions some-
times differ, and there is no chance to ex-
plain ones position in such case. 1t does
not give the independent thinker fair
chance. He must either vote with the ma
jority under silent protest, or be misunder-
stood. A vote in such case usually means
much less than it is credited with meaning.
Its actual effect is, however, probably not
much greater than it deserves.

Sunday Excursion to Toledo.

treaty OF peace has, been signed py the
Ann Arbor Railroad and the Weather
Bureau, the terms of which provide that
there shall be neither snow, rain or hail on
Sunday June 2nd. The Ann Arbor X. r.
promises to give special excursion to
Toledo on that date and the Weather
Bureau agrees to furnish perfect day.
The public will no doubt show their
appreciation of this move on the part of the
Ann Arbor X. Il. by going to Toledo in
large numbers. Special train leaves Owosso
at 500 q. m. Fare for the round trip 81 co.
There are many attractions In Toledo but
the one that has made her famous as an
excursion city is beautiful Lake Erie Park
and Casino.

After reading some of the newspaper ac-
n. base ball team on its return from its
eastern trip, and the players comments on
she pronunciation of the Harvard men who
entertained them while in Cambridge, it
would seem quite proper to suggest that the
aext time they go east they pay more at
teptlon to playing ball and less to the dl-
ference between the eastern and the western
pronunciation of certain consonants. The
Ann Arbor team failed to win game
on the entire trip.

Ia publishing extracts from and comment
ing upon the report of the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the accounts of the
State game warden, the Michigan Farmer
says: "Whether the Office IL abolished or
not IL appears certain that the present Game
Warden, together with his deputies, should
be compelled to resign their positions, and
suits should be instituted to compel them to
account to the State for any monies un-
lawfully collected or Improperly with held
from the State treasury. II the report OF
the committee is to be believed 1t is simply
disgraceful to allow them longer to hold a
public office"

Cardinal Gibbons has apparently given
,he Pope tip that unless the monastic
orders in the Philippines adapt themselyes
and their practices to conform to the si,ua.
lion created by American occupation, they
may be expelled altogether from the islands.
Is Is said that the Pope has seen the neces-
sity for compelling change. That is very
xood. There is little doubt but that the
Catholic members Of these orders can be of
no small use IN the islands in their new life
OF liberty and progress, but they will need
10 turn over very large and very new leaf
IN their own lives and practices before their
work and Influence will be exactly what the
american people, both Catholic and Protest
ant, will tolerate.

A Dubuque, Iowa, ulan with almost Won
aerful presence of mind carried some cloth
iDg and money cut of his burning house
ahs week Monday and LETT his wife for the
return trip. When he returned to help her
out 1t was too late. Strange that it should
have occurred to him to go TO her assistance

such an emergency.

Sunday Memorial Services.

| Inc FlrSt M. T. Cnurch was crowded
to overlooking Sunday morning the
occasion being the annual sermon
| preached to the members of the G.. A.
r., the w. r. G. and allied organizations
and the local military company on the
Sunday preceding Decoration Day.
The morning was not particularly
bright and CHEEKY one but each of the
organizations mentioned turned out in
| full force and made most creditable
appearance. The entire center section
of The church auditorium was reserved
| for these orders and there was little
room to spare. The rest of the church
was filled from the limits of the annexes
to the back seats in the galleries.
The church had been decorated
prettily with the national colors and
outside magnificent specimen of Old
Glory swung near the Williams street
entrance between the church and the
trees. The choir loft and organ were
also appropriately draped with the
national colors. Special music had
been provided for the occasion and both
the chorus work and two special duets
were most excellently rendered.
The sermon, preached by the pastor,
Rev. j. p. Warner, contained review
of the various wars through which the
United States has passed, and drew
lessons from them all. He said that
excepting the Mexican war, all of the
wars in which this country has engaged
have been waged with righteous
cause. That war was denounced as a
war for conquest alone. Its ends were
selfish and entirely unworthy Of Our
country.
The services of Memorial Day are two
fold. Their purpose is much more than
the mere honoring of the memory of
the dead although that has its place
indeed. Their greater purpose is to
instill the minds of the living with
patriotism. Any man who shoulders
n rifle in defense of his country's honor
is entitled to all respec. even if the
hireling who carries gun only as he
would perform any other mental task
is worthy of less respect than any
other class of men He praised warmly
the veterans of the sixties, and did not
forget the wives and mothers and
sisters who remained behind and suf
fered as much as they, and even in
many cases more than they The
veterans of the Spanish war had, he
said but a taste of war, but that state
ment did not mean that there was any
sympathy lurking in his heart for Spain
which he said should be wiped off the
face of the earth. All, both old soldiers |
and young soldiers should always be |
ready to defend the flag against any |
ehcroachments by foreigners. eff ever
the banner of a foreign nation is raised |
on our soil, it is your duty to pull it
down." The matter of pensions was
referred to and was commended. Every |
veteran should be assured of com
Portable living. Before closing he
asked that every soldier should also en-
roll as soldier of Jesus Christ as well.

The present week has seen another epoch
making decision handed down by the
United States. Supreme court. That
august body has nnce more decided that the
nation is a living thing, and attempts to
cripple the nations powers through the
narrow construction of the constitution are
now doomed more than ever to be as futile
as would be the attempt 10 kill an oak by
smotheriDg 1t with its own rough bark.

Nseems that when nation gets so big that
casts serious shadow over the prospects
Of some other nation the first named nation
gets Itself pretty thoroughly talked about.
The speech of Vice President Roosevelt, In
snffalo last week has since been made the
text for considerable grumbling on the part
Of some English journals which profess to
see America menaclng' Europe with the
mailed fist" as well as the Commercial
Est From the amount of attention which
America is getting nowadays from every
quarter OF Europe it is not at all difficult TO
see that all Europe Is beginning to wake up
10 the fact of Americas greatness. Every
fear OF American encroachment which is
expressed by the journals of Europe is lust
one more bit Of testimony to the overpower.
Ing supremacy of this country In COM
mercial as well as other fields. The only
trouble about 1t is that so much attention is
likely TO make us selfconsclous, but really.
30 far, all that we as q nation have done is
TO mind our own business except that once
or twice lately we had little matter to
attend to because some other people
wouldn't behave themselves and give
smaller fellow chance 10 mind his own
business.

The above Is the law under which six
Owosso men were arrested according to the
instructions of Mayor Emery Monday. The
| warrants were sworn out by Marshal Ross
during the forenoon but were not served
until he had shown them to prosecuting At
torney Richards who will have to prosecute
the cases. The examination is set for Fri
day, June :. Those who were arrested
were, August Stephan, j. II. Evans, j. A.
Harris, A. l.. Liesemer, M. Spinoa, and c.
A. Conner. Just why these men and no
others were selected for arrest is not def
nitely known. 1t had been supposed that
the mayor had stated that at least two of
them would be permitted to remain open.
As matter Of fact there were but two
places of business among those which had
been under consideration which closed Sun
day, Beers cigar store and Roger Peca's
fruit and confectionery store. These stores
were closed all day so far as any business
was done, neither of the proprietors so much

moments for Strengthening things up.

OwossO has a little blue laws agitation
with five Of her business men under arrest
for violation Of the Sunday closing law.
The affair will undoubtedly have the usual
farcical ending, but one special point of
interest is presented. The mayor wrote to
two OF the men, arrested later, that they
were exempt, as they sold only ice cream
but the city marshal, with the perversity
of common sense, thought the selling of Ice
cream just as much violation as the selling
of fruits and cigars, so gathered them all In.
These alleged attempts at enforcement of
the blue laws are becoming quite fad for
gaining notoriety. Free Press.
Owosso is getting taste of blue law
administration, presumably as preparatory
study for the ''wide open" degree which
is usually conferred at the end of the course.
