THE OWOSSO TIMES.
EDMUND o. DEWEY, EDITOR.
OOWOSSO, FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1902.

The Michigan delegation in congress
has reason to congratulate itself on the
magnificent victory achieved in defend
ing the beet sugar interests of the state
from the proposed reduction of the
tariff on Cuban sugar. The measure
was advocated by President Mckinley
in his lifetime and espoused by Presi
denf Roosevelt and supported by the
powerful ways and means committee of
the House as well as by the speaker
whose exercise of power was believed to
be sufficient to insure its passage. 1t
was battle of giants which came to a
finish on Friday when the friends of the
home industry defied the power of the
speaker and of the committee having the
bill in charge and prevented its passage.
1t was an exciting occasion and attract
ed the presence in the House of many of
the senators and large lobby of inter
ested spectators. The effort was a bold
defense of the tariff system and will go
far toward defeating the efforts of free
traders to attack it in other directions.
The beet growers of Michigan have
special reason for thankfulness that
their congressman had the courage of
their convictions and stood as q wall of
stone against the Vaccinations of the
enemy.-Charlotte Republican.

Our Locomotives the Best.

The ten new locomotives recently
sent to France have been found very
satisfactory, and as this number is only
the first shipment of an order for fifty
of them, it shows that foreign people
appreciate the value of American prod
ucts. There is another American prod
uct that has become very prominent
during the last fifty years, and that is
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, the stand
ard medicine for stomach, liver and
bowel complaints Many people who
have experimental for years with I'M
known remedies without finding relief,
have been brought back to health by its
use. Then this is surely the medicine
for you. 1t will cure dyspepsia, consti-
patton fatulency, and malaria, fever
and ague. We urge you to try it. Our
private stamp is over the neck of the
bottle.

In the first place while primary cleo
ton law might be an excellent thing,
there is nothing certain that majority
of the people are in favor of it, Those
who are opposed to such a measure
would certainly be displeased if Cover
nor Bliss should call a special session of
the legislature, while those who favor
the proposition would not be moved to
desert Stearns, who would get the credit
for having brought about the change.
1t would be case of "heads win and
tails you lose against Bliss. But apart
from questions of political expediency,
the people have not demanded a special
session of the legislature for the sole
purpose of helping along somebody's
campaign for governor, and if a special
session was really necessary the people
would not permit Mr. Stearns nor any
one else to pay the expenses The peo-
pie are able to pay the necessary ex-
penses of the state government without
asking for donations or aims of any
character whatsoever. Mr.. Stearns has
simply permitted Mr.. Wesselius to make
a bad break for him.
From the Kalamazoo Telegraph.
1t is not competent for Mr.. Stearns or
Mr.. Bliss or any set of individuals to
pay the expenses of an extra session of
the state legislature. Such plan
would be illegal. The law provides for
the payment of members and officers of
the state Legislature, and any other
method of meeting the expenses would
be illegal.
From the Muskegon Chronicle.
Mr.. Stearns' challenge to Governor
Bliss to hold session of the legislature
to pass primary election law and thus
avoid possible barrel campaign
smacks too much of the spectacular 1t
has not created the CONSERVATION
among Mr.. Bliss followers that was
The mission of the chal-
lenge is generally looked upon as being
in the line of a general grandstand
play.

Teachers are Scarce.

Commissioner Bristol was in town,
Monday, visiting some of the district
schools near here. He tells us that
there is a scarcity of teachers in this
county, and justly so, for the wages are
too low to keep teachers. What is the
use of a person spending the best part
of his life in merely making living
and then get turned down when the
gray hairs begin to come over the ears,
with no trade or business to follow.

Woman is often referred to by man as
doubling his joys and halving his sor-
rows That may be complimentary
but it would seem to be rather hard on
the woman. For III plain terms it
means that where things are going well
with the man his wife makes them go
better. But when things are going i'll
with him, he expects the wife to share
half of his burden. And there's more
truth than poetry in this presentation of
masculine selfshness. Men don't appre-
ciate the fact that the strain Of mother
hood alone is a burden bigger than all
the loads that rest upon male shoulders
They see the wife grow thin, pale, ner-
vous and worn without thought that
she is over burdened Among the
pleasant letters received by DR.. Pierce
are those from husbands. who have
walked up before it was too late to the
crushing burdens laid upon the wife,
and in the search for help have found
in DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription a
restorative which has given back to the
mother the health of the maiden and
the maiden's happiness. "Favorite
Prescription always helps, and almost
always cures. 1t has perfectly cured
ninety-eight out of every hundred
women who have used it when afflicted
with diseases peculiar to women.
