In addition to this statement covering
the action of the auditor general in that
particular phase of the railway tax mat
ter, it may be of interest to further state
that while certainly no well informed
person in Michigan would think for an

Blair of any disposition to favor the
railroads, it is only with the knowledge
on the part of the attorney general, and
acting under his advise. that the audi

left to his own discretion. Mr.. Stearns

Again Lowered Himself.

Two years ago Mr. Justus S. Stearns
succeeded admirably in lowering himself
in the estimation of the republicans of
Michigan. His worst political enemies
could scarcely have done worse for him.
Up to that time his opponent within the
party ranks had at least regarded him
as a fair opponent, one who would play
the game in an honorable way, but his
nncalled-for and vicious attacks on the
state administration at that time cost
him many friends among the republicans
of the state who had hitherto been in
clined to support him in his ambitions
for the governorship In an open letter
to the republicans of the state this week
ne gives evidence that the lesson of two
years ago was lost on him.
This year the burden of his strange
cry is thai the republican party in Mich
igan is dominated by the. Michigan Cen
trail. He even goes so far as to assert
that the nominees for the supreme court
are to be dictated by that corpora
tion and attempts to convey the impress
sion that even the auditor generals
Office has unduly favored the railways
charges, against the members of his
own party who do not believe that he is
the proper man to place at the head of
the affair Of the state in Michigan, Mr.
Stearns has again lowered himself in
the minds of the republicans in general
throughout the state If there had been
need of the sharp denunciation he utter.
ed, or if it had been delivered after a
careful investigation which left no
doubt as to the good it would do the
party to have it done or the necessity of
doing it, the matter would appear in a
very different light, but the methods of
tie painstaking Investigator are not the
methods by.which Mr. .Stearns backs up
his accusations. Hence his loss of
dignity.
The facts are that Mr. Stearns takes
no trouble to attempt to prove his as
sertions regarding the supreme court
nominees, while the record of the pres
emit auditor general has been anything
but the kind which the railroads would
pray for if they were taking an interest
In the selection of man for that office.
The criticism that he permitted" them
to pay onehalf only Of their taxes pend

AS leach two years roll around
bringing with it another election, many
people in all parts of the county have
remarked; II wonder why it is that the
republicans don't get Fred Edwards on
their ticket. He would certainly add
strength to it"
Mr.. Edwards many friends in the
county will be interested and gratified
to hear that he has been persuaded to go
before the republican county convention
as a candidate for the Office Of register
of deeds, and those who have COUNSEL
ed him to make the race believe that he
will be the conventions choice for the
Office.
The work which has daily to be per-
formed in the registers office is some
thing for which Mr.. Edwards is peculi-
arly fitted. There are few, if any, bet
ter penman in the county. and his hand
writing is as clear and legible as copper
plate. The duties of city clerk in
municipality the size of Owosso has
given Mr.. Edwards experience which
would prove invaluable in the registers
Office. The register must be man of
painstaking accuracy, for thousands of
dollars depend upon his making the
correct entries and transfers. For years,
committees from the Owosso council
have regularly certified that the clerks
books have been absolutely correct. No
better proof of any mans accuracy is
necessary.
To the uttermost corner of the county
has the fame of the genial clerk pene-
trated as vote-getter. No matter how
popular his running mates on the ticket
or how strong the man sent against
him, Mr.. Edwards has year after year
led everyone when the votes were count
ed.
OF course this is partly due to a re-
cognition of his honesty and capability,
but it is also testimonial to his kind
ness of heart and to his obliging DISPOSE
lion. Every person who transacts bust
ness in the clerks Office comes to feel |
hat Mr.. Edwards is his staunch friend, |
md with reason, for he seems never to |
ire of doing favors, not only for the
nan with the pull" but for the hum
olest and most obscure of citizens. *x*

Prosecution Should Follow.

Two young girls from Laingsburg,
were taken to Jail this afternoon in an
intoxicated condition. Some members
of the law and order league notified the
officers of the condition of the girls,
who were then in the Third ward park
in company with two young men.
When located by the officers the girls
were in the rear room of a Washington
avenue saloon, but it is denied that
they were given anything but soft
drinks while there.
The girls are not over sixteen years of
age, and the police are now looking for
their male companions. 1t is claimed
that they also hail from Laingsburg and
are in possession of the purses, watches
and other valuables belonging to the
girls.
When taken to the station the girls
were too intoxicated to tell their names.
