The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-10-10
For County Clerk, John Y. Martin

From the Corunna Journal:
Two years ago, when John y. Martin
was given the nomination on the Re-
publican ticket for county clerk, it was
predicted that he would not only be
elected but that he would make an ideal
clerk. Both predictions have become
realities. and his friends are very much
pleased at the results.
Mr.. Martin was born in Caledonia
township, June s, 1863, and has made
that place his home most of the time
since. He attended the district school,
the Vernon village school, and finished
his school days in the Corunna high
school. He afterward taught school
and clerked in store for a time, then
returned home and worked his fathers
farm. In 1898 he purchased farm of
his own in his native township, which
he finally sold and bought the old home
stead, which he now owns, He served
his township as treasurer and justice of
the peace, and i'm 1890 was U. 5. census
enumeratOr for his township. In 1893
he was elected supervisor and held that
position until he took the office OF county
clerk in 1901.
Mr.. Martins success in the above var
| ious offices was due 10 the fact that he
had prepared himself by education, the
building Of good character, and his
universal courtesy to all His advance
ment should be an encouragement to
every schooboy to put forth his best
sponsibilities of the future, being as
sured that these efforts will in due time
be recognized.
Mr.. Martin is now serving his first
term as county, clerk and the people
have had an opportunity of judging his
fitness for the position. The duties Of
the clerk are perhaps the most varied
If any office In the county. bringing
him in touch with the city and town
ship officers and residents of tire county.
| As county clerk he is clerk of the circuit
court, register in cnancery, clerk of the
board Of supervisors, clerk of the cleo
tion commissioners, clerk OF the county
board OF canvassers and member of the
district board Of canvassers.
| 1t will be seen at once that a man to
serve acceptably must be man Of in
telligence, industry and courtesy. Mr..
Martin possesses all of these qualifica-
tons to marked degree, and for this
reason he has made one Of the best as
well as one OF the most popular clerks
the county has ever had. The Republ-
can convention, recognizing these facts,
gave him nomination by unanimous
vote, compliment that he truly merit
ed. The first term has given him an
opportunity to become familiar with the
work which makes him more valuable
man for the county.
County Clerk Martin deserves an in
creased vote and will receive it. The
voters will esteem IT both an honor and
a pleasure to give him their votes.

life insurance companies will soon
be discriminating against gubernatorial
candidates in Michigan. Judge Du-
rand, first democratic candidate, is laid
up with stroke of paralysis so serious
that he had to be taken from the ticket,
and now Governor Bliss has been the
7sictim of decidedly painful runaway
accident in Washington, getting hi:
aose bruised, his forehead cut, and hi;
ankle hurt.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-10-10

In his Boston speech, Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw, referring to the
sugar trust said
The rate on refined sugar is 81. %
per hundred practically two cents a
pound. On raw sugar it is practically
a cent pound. In view of the fact
that the United States produces only
a limited portion of its sugar, the tariff
increases the price to the consumer. II
is therefore a revenue measure as well
as an encouragement to the beet sugar
industry, which affords the only com
petition with which the sugar refiners
are confronted. These refners pay the
government, in round numbers, $780,
10000 per annum duty on imported
sugar. If the tariff was removed the
result would be primarily saving to
the sugar refiners of that amount per
annum, which they could keep and
still give the people sugar at present
prices, or they could reduce the price of
sugar cent a pound and make the
same profit they do now. And in that
event the sites on which beet sugar fac
tories now stand would be, worth more
as farm lands than as sugar plants, and
the refners would have no competition,
actual or prospective"

GOV. BLISS ALL RIGHT.
So Says Senator Russell A Aleer

EDITOR JOURNAL:
The constant talk of the weakness of
Gov Bliss, our candidate for governor,
has led me to make a statement that
should, think, be carefully considered
by every voter in the state.
The governor was born in New York,
reared on a farm, and at very early
age was thrown upon his own resources,
having no aid from others. He enlisted
as a private in Co. d. Tenth New York
Cavalry; was promoted to be first lieu
tenant, and later to be captain fol
bravery on the field of battle. He
served three years and five months. He
came to Michigan in 1865 and went into
the lumber business and that without
means. He has amassed handsome
fortune, has always been most generous
with his money, his pocketbook and
front door always open to those who
need help.
Officially. he served as alderman on
the board of supervisors in his city and
county, term in the state senate, one
term in congress, has served one term as
governor of the State of Michigan, and
the records will show that his admins
tration has been one of constant hard
work by the executive, economical and
we'll conducted.
Why should a man with such a record
be called weak?
r. A. ALGER.

A Bohemian schoolmaster forty years
of age ran amuck Monday, becoming
suddenly insane and shooting six of the
pupils in his school. The residents of
the village of Dreyssig, in which the
tragedy occurred, showed an almost
American regard for law. They lynched
the brute.

Congressman Fordney attended the
candidates meeting at Owosso, Monday
evening. He called on Corunna friends
in the afternoon. The prospects for his
receiving large vote in this county
grow brighter every day. The people
like fighter, and especially one that
is victorious. His success in the sugar
beet controversy and in landing fed
eral building at Owosso entities him to
the respect and votes of his constituents.

The Beet Sugar Gazette. of Chicago,
prints fine half-tone cut of Hon. J. W.
Fordney and has the following under
the heading, Stand by Your Cham
pions:"
"All the tom-tom beating of the
sugar trust Notwithstanding, the do
nestle sugar producers have stood solid
ly by their champions. In almost every
instance the men who braved the at
tacks of the sugar trust and of the
official party machine for the sake of
the home industry were unanimously
renominated. Only in few exception
al cases new men stepped into the
places of those whom purely local con-
ditions defeated in the race, and their
successors will be as good champions of
the beet as their predecessors were.
lone of the most active men in the
ranks of the beet sugar insurgents was
Hon. Joseph w. Fordney, of Michigan,
whose portrait we reproduce at the
head of this column. The most untir-
ing advocate of the beet sugar industry
in the lower house was Congressman
Joseph w. Fordney, writes the
Michigan Farmer, and the Beet
Sugar Gazette takes a special pleasure
in presenting his picture to its readers.
He will do his best, as will all the other
good men on his side, to prevent any
action that would be nnfavorable to the
beet sugar industry. If Cuba needs
any assistance, he is willing to favor a
measure that will leave the Cubans in
dependent of the sugar trust.
The Gazette knows that all who are
in sympathy with the stand taken by
the beet sugar insurgents will see to it
that Mr.. Fordney and his allies are re-
turned to their posts, irrespective of
party. For they are the men who will
see to it that the American beet sugar in
dustry will rise to the proud position of
the mightiest industry of the world, an
industry that will secure the future of
coming generations of American sugar
producers in field and factory"

The Cleaning of the vatican.

Inc vatican has recently been overhauIed
Tor the first time in 400 years, and out of
the ll,OOO rooms, Including the pope's pri-
vate apartments, the picture galleries, the
library, the museums Of sculpture and arch
aeology, the casino, the Sistine and other
chapels, and the barracks Of the Swiss
Guards, over ten tons OF dirt were taken
every day for the first twelve or thirteen
weeks and In large proportions also during
the remaining five months.
This will seem incredible no doubt to
many persons who have visited a portion
OF these premises. Indeed, it was not until
the pope began to study bacteriology that
he appreciated that there was any dirt
whatever there.
In this great undertaking over 5000 peo-
pie were employed. and 1000 loaves of bread
a day were consumed in the cleaning of
wall paper alone. Eight thousand brooms.
1000 scrubbing brushes, 5000 pounds OF
soap went In a week.
The bread, wal used in such quantities
that to economi2e a private bakery was es-
tablished. The oyerseer of this work might
have economical still more II, for the ItaI-
Ian product, they had substituted Fair
banks Gold Dust washing powder and
Fairy Soap. That is wherein American
housekeepers have the advantage. Let the
Gold Dust twins do your work"

GAME WARDENS GET BUSY
Arrest Two Men on Charge of sein-
ing and VIII Prosecute
V~iEorousIy

Wednesday night at Cut on lake Game
Wardens Simpkins and Carter and an Iowa
game warden arrested two men, Frank
Burwell and SLEEPY" Hewitt, for SEEMING in
the lake. Burwell wac brought to Omaha
and Hewitt taken TO Council Bluffs. A
third member Of the party escaped.
In making these arrests the game war
dens believe they have succeeded in cap
turing the leaders Of a gang Of poachers
which has for years depleted the waters
Of FISH contrary to law ana the cases will
be pushed with vigor, the prosecutors hop
Ing to secure maximum sentences against
both parties. For fear there would be
some technically on which the men might
escape under the laws OF one state, II was
decided to prosecute under the laws OF
both, as. on account Of the location Of the
lake. the poachers are said to have broken
the laws of both states. with the men
was captured a seine 400 feet long. which
will be destroyed.
There is considerable complaint from the
lake on account Of the practice Of a num-
Der OF boys and young men who, In spite
Of the laws, are persistent in shooting at
aquatic fowl and small animals which are
found along the shore. Anglers have
lodged at the sound of more than one bull
let fired by these thoughtless people, and
IT is now threatened by some OF the par
ties to enforce the law against shooting
snipe and other birds out Of season.
The birds at the lake at this time are
not game birds in any sense said one of
those making complaint. Young men and
boys In boats will fire at small snipe, frogs
and other things along the bank merely
Tor practice. After the animals have been
killed they will not take the trouble to get
them, so they are not killing for food. but
simply for the love Of killing. Most Of
the shooting is done with 22-caiiber rifles
and these bullets flying from the boats
