Ward Candidates Talked Of.

Two candidates are talked of in the
first ward, Frank w. Smith, who is just
finishing term as alderman in that
ward, and w. L. Parker, proprietor of
the Mason street Granite Works For
supervisor, Fred Gould is apparently to
succeed himself. Mr.. Gould has been
one of the best supervisors the city ever
sent to Corunna and should be sent
again.
In the second ward three men have
been mentioned for alderman who, so
far as known, would accept if rendered
the nomination. They are James Bar
trem, Felix Teal, and George w. Det-
wiler. Of these the latter has also been
quite prominently mentioned for mayor
and in the event of his election as alder
derman will probably be considered
good timber for mayor at some future
date. For supervisor, the only person
mentioned so far, is Alfred Crane, who
two years ago was elected and served
the ward and city to the satisfaction of
all concerned.
In the third ward there is large
number of names to select from. The
list mentioned includes Harry Noble,
who will be a candidate for the renom-
ination and for reelection, and besides
him there has been talk of nominating
George Jackson, Samuel Gellatly, James
r. Ketcham, and James Gray. For
supervisor both w. A. Kent, the pres
ent supervisor of the ward, and julius
Frieseke, who for years was one of the
best supervisors who ever represented
the city, have been mentioned.
The fourth ward does not seem to be
settled in the matter of the aldermanic
nomination, while the apprenticeship
almost seems to be going by default.
For alderman, G. E. Rigley, Jr., is
prominently mentioned, and James
Sheldon is also credited with desire to
represent the ward in the council The
present supervisor, V. M. White, is not
saying anything about denomination,
having his eyes out for other things, the
mayors chair-or an appointiye office,
and so far as present appearances are
concerned the Office of supervisor in the
fourth ward might go begging.
In the fifth ward no one seems to be
in the field for the nomination as alder
man except the present incumbent of
that office, Mr.. John H. Moyses 1t is
still possible, however, that some other
candidate may put in an appearance
and claim the nomination, but such an
aspirant has not yet been heard from.
For supervisor, Charles Durham has

been mentioned and john q. F. Evans,
the present supervisor, IS a candidate
for reelection. Charles W. Parker has
also been prominently mentioned for the
nomination and it is somewhat uncer-
tain which of the men will be given the
vote of the republican majority. Mr..
Parker has been supervisor before and
was good one, alive to the interests OF
the city and with backbone to stand foi
them and do his entire duty.
Other candidates have still time
enough in all the wards to enter the lists
and come out ahead at the finish and nc
good man should hesitate to declare
himself if he feels disposed to enter.

Michigan beet sugar congressman at
least have the satisfaction that they
fought hard fight against the biggest
kind of obstacles and the outcome so far
has in reality been more victory than
defeat for them. The beet sugar men
have been the only consistent republi-
cans in congress, standing ready to be
even more generous than the others to
the Cubans and at the same time to full
fill the promises and traditions of the
republican party.

Give Cuba few millions if she needs
them--which is not so very evident any
way-and then let the sugar beet indus
try pay its share in that gift but do not
make the beet sugar industry, an infant
industry moreover and one in which the
American farmer is vitality interested,
pay for the entire gift-especially when
it is to be paid into the Golfers of the
cane sugar trust.

Congressman Fordney is making a
hard fight for Michigan's beet sugar in
industry. He is proving a valuable man
for his district.-St Johns Republican.
In consenting to allow his name to go
before the caucus in the fifth ward for
the nomination to the Office of super
visor, Chas. w. Parker has given the
voters of that ward chance to return
to the board citizen who has the in
terests of his ward and city always in
mind. Mr.. Parker is man who has
had experience in serving on that board
and in other positions where he had to
show his ability and he has never been
found wanting in any such position.
He is man of mature judgment, and a
taxpayer who has the interests of econ
omical management of the countys fl
nances at heart as much as any other
taxpayer in the city. Mr.. Parker has
always been proved popular candidate
in his ward and now that he is no long
er drain commissioner and is free to
again take up the duties of supervisor
for the ward he is more than slikely to
be asked to do so by the party in his
ward

1t may be strongly suspected that
there are few persons high in admin
istration circles at Washington who
were more anxious to have their own
way than they were to help Cuba. In
cidentally it is too bad that the measures
they took after all help the sugar trust
more than the Cubans.

All the week the news of the greatest
interest from South Africa has not been
the progress of the war between the
British and the Beers but the bulletins
announcing the slow sinking of the man
who more than any other one man per-
haps in the whole British empire was
responsible for that war, Cecil Rhodes.
His life has been most wonderful one.
From his entrance into the life of South
Africa when but mere boy up to the
times of the present his influence has
been the great moving factor in the de-
velopment of the southern part of that
continent. He has rightly been called
an empire builder and had he had but
little keener appreciation of the Dutch
character and but little more justice
and diplomacy with which to temper his
powerful ability, the last few years of
war and disappointment. would have
doubtless been spared the English peo-
pie and the world, and South Africa
would have been all English. He has
been man who has been most fiercely
assailed. But he was man who be-
lieved that he had task to do in the
onward NOV ement of the world and that
task was the development Of South
Africa. As the British civilization
seemed to him the foremost in the world
to him it seemed therefore that he was
coming the nearest to carrying out a
life work which was worth while if he
made South Africa develop in accord
with the highest civilization-that is to
make it British territory. His line of
reasoning was that if there is God he
evidently wishes the whole world to pro-
gress in every way and he himself had
duty to perform in helping make the
world progress as best he might. Those
who have known. him perhaps best ofall,
have said that this was the clue to his
entire life work in the continent, which
has been the scene of his life work, and
now at most troubled and unsettled
time becomes the scene Of his death.

The attention of the republicans of
the several townships is called to the
fact that under the plan adopted by the
republicans of the county at their last
convention the election of the township
committee this year does not occur until
the caucuses are held to elect delegates
to the first county convention of the
year. The committee elected will serve
for two years. This is in accordance
with the plan recommended by the
State Central Committee. 1t is hoped
the rule will be followed in each town
ship and ward as better organization
will in this way be perfected.

CALEDONIA.

After all it is strange. strange thing
that concession on Cuban sugar is the
only way in which the United States
can be generous to Cuba.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-03-21

Along comes General Wood, rushing
to the rescue of the Cuban (?) sugar
raiser and the administration policy of
lowering the tariff on Cuban sugar,
making the declaration that about one
half of the sugar crop of Cuba is after
all still in the hands of the Cuban
planters Two things are of interest in
that statement. 1t tacitly admits that
the trust would get a dainty little com
mission of fifty per cent on the reduc-
ton. 1t also admits in the same man
ner that the Cubans are not suffering.
What American farmers can hold their
crops for months after the harvest wait
ing for change in tariff rates to in
crease their profits?

Postmaster w. s. Linton, of Saginaw,
began on Wednesday to serve his second
term in that office. His name was sent
to the senate on that day by President
Roosevelt at the request of Congressman
Fordney, and the senate promptly con-
frmed the nomination made by the
president. Yesterdays Saginaw Cour-
Herald, took the occasion to publish
an article nearly column and aquarter
long concerning the improvements
which have been made in the service
during the first term of Mr.. Unions ad-
ministration of the Office. Saginaw has
reason to be proud of her postal service
as it is at present and to feel more than
pleased with Mr. Linton for the way in
which he has done things for the
betterment of the service. THE TINES
extends congratulations both to Saginaw
and to Postmaster Linton.

To fight it out on this line if it takes
all summer" is evidently not the plan of
action of the grandson of the American
who made that phrase famous. Four
weeks ago Algeron Sartoris, grandson of
General Grant, entered the Westing-
house works at Pittsburg, with the an
nounced purpose of serving regular
apprenticeship and becoming an electri-
cal engineer who knew the business
from the ground floor up. That was
four weeks ago. Today the summer is
over and the plan is off. Now he is said
to be looking for an appointment in the
regular army. 1t is exceedingly doubt
full if the memory of even so great a
grandsire as he boasts will be sufficient
to land the now coveted honor, especial
ly so long as Theodore Roosevelt is
president of the United States.

Thanks to Mr.. Dexter Nj. Ferry, OF
Detroit,-of the state of Michigan
rather, the athletic field of the Univer-
sity of Michigan is now second to but
one in the entire country in point of size.
That one is Harvard's. But the idea is
not that it is larger than any of the
others, rather that the University now
has field which is nearer the size
needed. The gift made by Mr.. Ferry
last week conveyed a tract of about
twenty acres adjoining the present
athletic field of scant ten acres. on the
north, between the present field and the
campus, and therefore brings the field
just so much nearer the University it
self 1t is gift which has been much
needed by the University and its $500
students, and the name of Dexter NJ
Ferry-which has been given to the
feld-will be honored by the student
body as well as by the friends of the
University throughout the state as long
as the University and the state of Michi-
gan stand. With the Waterman Gym
nasium and Ferry Field the University
can and will take better care of the
bodies of its students as well as their
minds, than ever and the responsibility
which it has in the building up of strong
bodies as well as in the development of
right thinking minds is being realized
by the entire management more and
more. The people of the state owe a
