The People Can Ponder.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Within very few days the president
of the United States was stirred to ut
terances that the masses should hear
and remember The immediate cause
of his speaking was the attack made by
Senator German, who rested his leader
ship in Maryland upon the race issue.
The reply is instinct with American
manhood and challenges the admiration
of every citizen who appreciates true
courage, no matter what his political
opinions or his racial prejudices. Di-
rect to Mr. German and his kind was
this: eff / could be absolutely assured
of my election as president by turning
my back on the principles of human
liberty as enunciated by Abraham Lin
coin, would be incapable of doing it
and unfit for president if could be
capable of doing it," There is no dodg-
ing or equivocation in this and it says
with all the emphasis possible that the
president will stand by the constitution
al guarantees so long as they are part
Of that instrument.
But there was consistent opportunity
to go farther and the chief executive
did not overlook it. He said that he
does not expect to be elected by trust
promoters seeking special privileges, by
the ultra labor union men who would
allow none but their own people to
work NOR by those who would close
the door of hope against the colored
man." All things considered, this is
sweeping defiance; for it serves notice
on the money powers. the vote cast by
radical unionism, and the solid south.
But it is a pledge to the rank and file,
who are wronged in the right to earn an
honest living or in the privileges vouch-
safed them by the fundamental law of
the land. 1t would be sad day in the
history Of the land if those whom the
president repudiates should nominate
and elect his successor.

1t has been asserted that since the
American sugar trust has acquired al
interest in number of the Michigan
and other sugar factories and still il
| willing, even anxious, to have the reel
procity arrangement made with Cuba,
that there need be no further evidence
produced to show that the cut in sugar
would not affect the business in Michi-
gan. This is by no means proved 1t
is asserted that the holdings of the trust
in Michigan sugar factories amounts to
about three million dollars Surely, the
friends of reciprocity argue, they will
not ask to have anything done which
will jeopardize such an investment If
the American sugar trust, after getting
the reduction in Cuban sugar, should
find it improbable to operate Michigan
sugar factories and should close them all
down, they could not lose more than
the three millions they had invested
anyway. If they should lose this, and
shut the Michigan farmer out of a
market for profitable crop how would
they come out? Their increased profits
from the refining of Cuban sugar in the
first year would be about seven and a
half million dollars. Four or more
millions profit after deducting the value
of their entire holdings in Michigan
factories and no bother or worry con-
nected with the management Of the
latter! The factories could rust and go
to the ground for all they might care
for the next year when there would be
no three millions to deduct-the seven
and half would all be clear profit.
This is offered for a suggestion to those
who are flattering themselves that the
selfish interests of the trust are identi
cal with the interests of the Michigan
farmer, simply because the trust holds
what for them is mere bagatelle of
stock in Michigan sugar factories. If
the American farmer is awake to his
best interests he will waste no time be-
fore writing to the congressman and
senator's from his own state, and any
others whom he may happen to know,
to tell them what he thinks of being
sacrificed to satisfy the sugar trust and
absolutely incorrect idea of
our duty to Cuba. Give Cuba still more,
if there is the least possible indication
that she needs it, but never sacrifice or
break faith with the American farmer.

THE OWOSSO TIMES
EDMUND o. DEWEY, EDITOR.
OWOSSO, FRIDAY, NOV, 8, 1908.

The results of Tuesdays elections
throughout the country are most en-
couraging to republicans. Especially is
this true in Ohio which is always watch
ed with the greatest interest by politi
clans, statesmen, and citizens generally.
The loss of the election in Greater New
York is deplorable for the set back it has
given to the cause of honest govern
ment in that great metropolis but it can
not effect the satisfaction with which the
elections in other parts of the country
are viewed. 4 Every indication points to
the conclusion that the republicans can
carry the presidential election next year.
the size of the majority only being the
feature in doubt. With the record of
events of the last few years kept fresh
in the minds of the American people be-
tween now and then. there will be little
need Of worrying over the size of the
majority even. Tuesdays elections
should encourage every republican to
let no opportunity go by for making an
other vote to swell next years majorityS
There is no time like the present, even
with the presidential election a year
away. And its pretty encouraging
outlook and pretty inspiring work to
engage in--this getting someone else to
appreciate what republican policies
have done for the country and making
one more vote for continuance of the
work now being done.

For many years the republican party
has asked the farm ers Of the country to
vote for the protection of American in
dustries. Letting alone the question
whether or not he has received an in
crease, he has certainly had to pay, in
some instances at least, higher prices
for the necessary things of life which he
has been obliged to purchase. Today
there is before the country the question
of whether or not one of the products of
the American farmers farm shall be
protected. We refer of course to the
sugar beet.
The republican party at st. Louis
pledged the farmers this protection. I'm
der the protection which they have up
to the present time enjoyed the crop has
swiftly grown to be one of the best pay
ing ones ever raised on northern states
farms. Now there is a fierce fight to
cut into this protection by the reciproc-
ity treaty with Cuba.
There are different motives for this.
No one denies the purity of the motives
of the President, for instance, in his
efforts to have the necessary legislation
passed for ratifying this feature of the
treaty with Cuba. He apparently sis
honest in his convictions that good
faith with Cuba demands it. Men who
are equally honest in their convictions
are not however unit in agreeing with
him on this point, to say the least.
Cuba has already shown the world
that she does not need this help She
is today as prosperous as the American
farmer. Practically the entire benefit
to her from the cut in the American
tariff on sugar would go to the Ameri-
can trust anyway. And last, but by
no means least, America has already
done more for Cuba than any other
country ever before in the worlds his
tory did for another country.
Then why sacrifice the American
farmer now He has cheerfully, and
with patriotic instinct, voted for the
levying of duties on steel, and paid more,
sometimes at least. for farm machinery
or clothing because of the protection he
he has Voted for But now he has
right to ask that the tariff shall not be
lowered in the least on one of the best
paying crops which he has ever raised.
And we believe, as we have constantly
reiterated, that he has right to expect
that theparty shall maintain It's faith
with him. To DO anything else would
be infinitely more breach of faith than
any action toward Cuba could possibly
be interpreted by the most severe critic
to be. for 20 one can deny the breach Of
faith with the American farmer while
the breach Of faith with uba is disnut-
ea hy aany Of the best minds in control
OF American affairs todaY.

The RACE PROBLEM.
Bishop Ralsey Wants Territory Set
Aside for CoIored People.

Bishop Lucien Halsey, colored, OF
the African Methodist Zion Church,
shocked some of the delegates to the
conference in session in Washington,
to consider the race problem in the
United States, by advocating the ma
tional Government setting aside one
or more States for the exclusive resi-
dence Of the negro race.
a storm of protests followed the
reading Of the paper. Several speak
ers declared it would mean a restric-
ton Of the rights Of the colored man
which would forever prevent his eleya-
tion. The paper was read at the
opening meeting in the Lincoln Tenn
pie Congregational Church.
'The two races" said Bishop Hal
sey, ''have never lived in harmony in
the southland, and I am Of the opin-
ion that it is impossible for them to
do so. We are told the South is a
white mans country, but if it is, that
race has shirked it's responsibility in
caring for the negroes. The labor Of
the South today is done by about half
colorec men and half white laborers.
The colored labor has proven to be
the most expensive that was ever en-
ployed."
He went on. to say that the white
men were crowding the negro out Of
employment in the South, and that
the negro was going to the North and
West. He proceeded to speak Of the
evil of the mixing OF the white and
colored blood, delaring that it was
harmful to both races. An adjourn
ment was taken after the discussion,
but it IS believed the Committee on
Resolutions will consider the paper,
and probably bring in report on the
proposed solution.

and the head almost severed. On
floor lay other children with their

BE Is Too Shady.

The appointment Of Gen. Robert
Shaw Oliver to be assistant secretary
Of war will be fought, it seems. Oil
yer is from Albany, N. Y, and it is
said that certain influential Republi-
cans at Albany have filed protest
against his selection for this place.
''Mr. Roosevelt" says the New York
Sun, ''as governor Of the State OF
New York, was perfectly familiur at
Albany with the social life Of Gen.
Oliver" and "as matter Of fact, the
president has been furnished with in
formation concerning Gen. divers
social relations, not only in Albany,
but in Florence, Italy" The Colum-
bia State says manifestly Bobby is a
gay boy. But a president who can
stand for Addicks and Crum and the
like ought not to mind backing a fel-
low whose social relations" are just
a little off color.

SERVED HIM RIGHT.
A Young Lady Leads Masher to the
Police Station.

When a ''masher'' wants to see you
home you should, not treating him
with dainty and disdain, accept his
attentions. Then, instead Of guiding
him to your abode, steer him to the
nearest police station. This is the
theory and practice Of Miss Lizzie
Burgess, Of No. 624 Foster street,
Evanston Ind.
Even firt with him." she says.
Miss Burgess had a chance to put
her theory into practice with the re-
suit that Charles Scott, who is said
to have attempted to f1irt with her,
occupies a cell in the Evanston police
station.
Miss. Burgess bad been visiting
friends and was walking home. A man
followed her. She gave no heed to the
mans remarks until she reached Sher-
man avenue and Emerson street,
about two blocks from her home.
She waited until the maSher reach
ed her.
MAY see you home?" asked the
smasher.''
Certainly" said Miss. Burgess
sweetly, but instead Of going north on
Sherman avenue toward her home,
she started south with the Evanston
police station as her destination.
The man waited outside while Miss.
Burgess entered the police station to
see a friend"
There is a "masher' outside whom I
wish you would take care Of" she
told Sergeant Waldron.
The policeman accompanied the
young woman outside and she intro
duced him to her escort. He took the
masher-" inside and placed him in a
cell.

HEROIC CONDUCT.
Lieut.. Curtin and His Men Save the

blCul. SUFCIu duO G1lS u1Cu saw chS
U. S. Lawrence.
A dispatch from Norfolk, Va, says
the heroism Of Lieut.. Curtin and sew
eral seamen on board the torpedo boat
destroyer Lawrence Wednesday saved
that craft from destruction. A
lighted candle left by workman on
a wooden box in the vessels forward
compartment, caused fire which
burned much Of the Lawrence's wood
work before it was extinguiShed by
Lieut.. Curtin and some seamen just
before the flames reached the maga-
zine in which quantity Of explosives
were stored. In their battle against
the flames Lieut.. Curtin and bis men
were so overcome by the smoke that
they lost consciousness after the fight
was won and were hurried on board
the cruiser Olympia for treatment.
Their condition is not serious.
The fire occurred in d stuffy COM
partment directly adjoining the maga-
zine and had gained considerable
headyway when it was discovered.
The place was filed with a dense
smoke that baffled the efforts Of the
crew and caused them to fall helpless
to the steel floor. Time and again
the seatnen dived into the fire cham
Der and emerged with the unconscious
form of seaman in his grasp. AZ
ter a hurried resuscitation the sea-
man and his officer would return only
to again succumb to the smoke. A
sailor plunged into the compartment
and a second later came out with the
limp body of the officer in his arms.
Five seamen in a similar condition
were stretched out On the deck. All
were hurried on board the Olympia
in dry dock, the surgeons soon
brought them to consciousness. The
damage to the Lawrence was trifing.

Biggest Business.

N. NJ. Brooks, Superintendent OF
Foreign Mails, estimates that IN the
last year Sc, 24O, 700 was received by
this Government as postage on ar

postal service in eight leading coun-
tries Of the world shows that the
United States leads in the number OF
post offices and employees, and as to
the number of articles Of mail matter
received by and sent to each inhabl-
