The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-03-14

Just why the beet raisers Of Michigan
should be compelled to see their repre-
sentatives forced by compromise in the
sugar tariff fight to donate Sl5, 900, 600
to the sugar trust does not become any
clearer from the proposal to make the
concession for merely one or two years.
That is just what will make it doubly
certain the Cubans themselves will re-
ceive no benefit whatever from the gift.
The trust already owns practically all
of this years crop and the percentage of
whatever might go to Cuba becomes
only infinitely smaller by this sort of
compromise. 1t is a strange spectacle
when republican congressman are asked
to consent to theremoval of part of the
protection guaranteed by all the party's
promises traditions and usages to the
American farmer and above all to an in
FAINT industry, as is now being done in
the beet sugar industry. All the argu-
ments for the need of reciprocity with
Cuba will not make the farmer forget
that at this, time when more than ever
before he can see where the protective
tariff is of benefit to him, he was asked
to step aside and pass lions share of
the benefit on to the sugar trust on the
pretext of helping Cuba.

A. B. Cook Not a Candidate.

The following letter will be in some
respects at least disappointment to a
large number of the friends of Bert
Cook not only in this county but else
where throughout the state. 1t will be
disappointment to them from the fact
that he states that he is not candidate
for the office of state representative, and
the only thing about the letter which is
not disappointment is the announce
ment of the candidacy of Mr. E. j. Cook
for the nomination to the Office Of state
senator which is practically made by it.
While therefore Mr. A b. Cooks
friends may be compelled to give up the
idea of sending him to the Legislature
this year they are quite likely before
long to provide him with at least good
substitute Tor personal political ambi-
ton and insist on his gratifying the
wishes of the hosts of Shiawassee repub-
icans who would like to honor him by
electing him to some such Office. In the
meantime they cannot fail to admire
him for the stand which he has taken and
it will scarcely injure his chances should
matters take turn such that the
chances of Mr.. E. j. Cooks candidacy
would not be hazarded by his nomina-
ton.

Sin it,
Two years ago The Maple River
Farmers Club took the initiative and
presented the name of f. j. Cook as
candidate for the State Senate from this
district. Mr.. Cook had the support, the
hearty support of the entire county, and
not one word was heard prior to the
Senatorial convention except in approval
of Shiawassee's candidate. A doubt did
exist in the minds of some Shiawassee
county people as to Shiawassee's right
to the nominee and Ingham was unit
in insisting that they were entitled to
another term. After two tie votes the
nomination went to John Robson, of
Ingham. This year Ingham comedies
the nomination to Shiawassee and it
looks to us that Mr. E. j. Cook is the
logical candidate.
We were firm supporter of Mr.. Cook
two years ago believing him to be the
kind of man needed in our State |
Senate and our only personal political
ambition is to see him at Lansing, the |
Senatorial representative of Shiawassee |
and Ingham Yours truly,
A. b. Cook.

Now that Lord Methuen has been
captured by the Beers it is gravely an
nounced by the British that they had
suspected that he was breaking down in
health some time ago and that it had
even been proposed to relieve him of his
command on that account. 1t is prob
ably hard for the English to admit that
real live British general in the full
possession of health and all of his facul
ties could be captured by the Beers. 1t
might be suggested however that unless
the British take some method of bring
ing the war to a close before long some
of the other British generals will run
great risk OF having something happen
to them and then there will be another
grave autopsy held and it will develop
that another general was not relieved
when he first showed signs of breaking
down. 1t might even be suggested
that Lord Kitchener himself, in spite of
all of the glory won by him in Egypt,
may all unknown to the mass of the
people be in need of rest. The Beers
have such wearing and wearying
methods They seem to expect so much
on the part of their antagonists, and do
not seem at all mindful of the fact that
they are wearing out the constitutions
of some of England's best generals.
Perhaps the British can do the way
they do in some American mills and
work their generals in shifts.

An antitrust law which seeks to
please the farmers by forbidding the
formation of trusts to control the sup
ply of any products except those of the
farm is something like gold brick so
far as any satisfaction from its opera
ton is concerned. Similarly with the
antitrust laws which seek to except the
products made by or controlled by labor
organizations. The supreme court of
the United States decided Monday that
the antitrust law of Illinois was un-
constitutional just because it attempted
to do those very things and was there
fore class legislation.
