SCHOOL TRUSTEES TAKE ACTION
Some Children Deborred From the
Public Schools For a Time.

The Trustees of the public schools met
Monday and decided that for the interests
of the schools it would be best not to al.
low any of the children where there were
measles or other contagious diseasesin the
family to attend until all danger had
passed. AS there are number of cases
OF measles, and some of scarlet fever and
diptherla in the city this action On the
part of the Trustees will be endorsed by
the community. The houses in which
the contagious diseases are now, are we'll
isolated, and with little precaution
there need be no fear of a general spread
of the contagion among the children. The
physicians who are treating the patients
have them well in charge and every skill
known to medical science is being used
to check the disease.

WORK SUSPENDED.
Rising River Stops Work on the Rail-
road Bridge.

The rapid rise in the river has caused
the contractors to suspend work on the
center pier. Of the railroad bridge across
the Yazoo. It was thought that the wood
work around the foundation Of the pier,
which extend some 80 feet above low wa
ter, would keep the water out when the
river begun TO rise.
The water was I'll pumped out Of the
casing last week. but the easing has now
sprung leak, thus preventing the ihasons
from going ahead with the masonery and
concrete of the foundation, and work has
suspended It is hardly probable that 1t
will be resumed for some time, unless
the leaks can be stopped and the water
again pumped out. This will delay con-
siderably the completion Of the bridge.
The river is rising very rapidly. and at
some places is near bank full.

year more than five hundred dollars more
than double the cost of any other force
during twelve years under republicon
administration preceding the election
of Sheriff Gerow?
Then again do you think that after
owing his election to the present sheriff
new democratic sheriff would feel
under any obligation to spend less than
the present democratic sheriff has spent?
If in the face of the amount he has
spent you elect the nominee chosen by
the present sheriff to succeed him, do
you think the new sheriff would be
much to blame if he took your vote as
indicating that you were willing that
he should spend just as much or more
than his predecessor spent? Would he
not be excused for saying that his cleo
tion.justified the enormous expense ac-
count piled up by Sheriff GerowS This
is something for you to think out for
yourself
Now is the time for you to check this
enormous expenditure if it seems too
large to you-three years under demo-
crat costing more than any seven years
under the three preceding sheriffs, al
most more than any eight yearsl But
don't blame anyone for still further in
crease in cost except yourselves if you
elect the candidate of the democratic
machine this fall. 1t is time for
change. The republican candidate,
Charles w. Mimic, is the man who will
give you the kind of change you need
in the sheriff's Office and you can assure
yourselves of change only by his cleo,
ton.
Remember this To elect the demo-
cratic candidate, the candidate of the
democratic machine made up of the pre-
sent sheriff and his deputies who, it is
fair to presume will be re-appointed-
cannot fail to be considered vindica-
tion of the charge of reckless extrava-
gance, and be construed as permission
to the new democratic sheriff to make
just as big a sinecure of the Office as
did his predecessor, even more, prob
ably, because the occupancy of the new
county building would in some way
probably be made an excuse for an
even greater expenditure of money, to
keep up appearances. If you want
change the only way of ensuring it Is
to elect Charles w. Mimic sheriff of
Shiawassee county, and THE TINES be-
lieves in all sincerity that you are going
to elect him.

The Secretary Of State.

No other department of the state
government is charged with duties so
numerous and varied as that of the Sec
retary Of state, and in volume of labor
performed it stands second only to that
of the auditor general Among the
multifarious responsibilities of the Sec
retarys Office are the custody and use Of
the great seal Of the state; custody Of
the laws and records of the state; super
vision and printing of the reports of
various officers and boards of the state;
collection, compilation and publication
of the statistics of the decennial census;
issue of patents for state lands; publica-
tion and distribution of laws and docu-
ments; notification of elections and COM
pilation Of returns; approval of bonds
and oaths of officers, and articles of as
sociation and Incorporation recording
names and terms of justices and notar-
les; making out and delivering of com
missions, pardons, warrants and re-
quisitions; collection of statistics of
births, marriages, divorces and deaths,
and of the deaf, dumb, blind, epileptic
and idiotic; vital statistics, and the pub
lication of health and mortality reports
and farm statistics, and the publicat ion
of crop and weather reports. The Sec
retary is also a member of the board of
state auditors, the board of state can
vassers, the railroad crossing board, the
board of control of swamp lands, board
of trustees Of escheated property board
of internal improvement, state board of
equalization, and the bureau of labor
and industrial statistics.
Under the administration of the Hon.
Fred M. Warner during the last four
years the business of the Office has been
conducted with the greatest faithful
ness, efficiency and economy, and the
new responsibility that has come to the
office during the present term, in or
ganizing the new census bureau and ap-
plying the provisions of the new law,
has reflected high credit upon the Sec
retary's Office.
The republicans have nominated for
this position a worthy successor for the
ensuing term, in the person of Hon.
George A. Prescott, Of Iosco county.
Mr. Prescott in no stranger to state af-
fairs. having served in the senate from
1895 to 1897, and has been actively con-
nected with important business interests
as manager of the lumber and mercan-
tile concerns of G. HI. Prescott & Sons,
at Tawas City. He has also filled vari,
GUS local offices in his home community,
and has been citizen of the state for
twentysix years, coming here from his
native state of Pennsylvania at the age
of 16, and fitting himself for his bust
ness career in the Bay City high school
and Detroit Business College, and Mad
ison University at Hamilton, N. Y.

WHY THE GREAT EXPENSE,

That business of arresting "drunks' and "hobos"
has been worked" Systematically all over the county
for the past three and half years under the admniSa
ton of the present democratic sheriff will be seen at
glance at the figures below. large proportion of
those arrested during this time have been sent to The
county Jail to serve sentences running from ten to thirty
days and the taxpayers of the county have been
called upon to pay fees and board bill in each case 1t
is asserted that the average expense per not less
than S11.O0. The figures are as follows
Under Sheriff Scougae (republican) the number
of drunks disordereS and vagrants arrested in
three and half years was 324
Under Sheriff Gerow (democraD the number of
arrests for the same offenSeS in the same length
of time was 1888
If the people of the county want to put an end 10
this kind of business it will be done by eectng Chas
W. Mimic sheriff and retiring the present force of dep
uty sherfs whom Mr. Jarrad will be in honor bound to
re appoint as his hope of election lies in the work being
done for him by the sheriff's machne-the deputies
Mr.. Mimic promises to give the people an econom-
ical administration. Let's try republican sheriff once
more and see how great the reduction will be in the
bill the taxpayers will have to meet during the next
two years.

as safe as are the county funds in his
keeping
The republican candidate for prosecut-

~ S''-S e'' NV ehO Souuty luuelS III Ills
keeping.
The republican candidate for prosecut-
ing attorney is one of the younger at
torneys of the county and one of the
best criminal lawyers in the county as
well. Charles M. Hamper is especially
well versed in the branches which are
the most important to the county so far
as the prosecutors office is concerned
and should be able to handle the office
with greater efficiency and at far less
expense to the county than many an
older man in more populous county
than Shiawassee. We expect to see him
make a good record in the Office, ex-
ercising good judgment in deciding
what cases should be prosecuted and in
pushing those he decides should be
prosecuted with vigor
The candidates for circuit court COM
missioner are both all right. The Owos-
so candidate has given good satisfaction
in the Office now for two years and be-
sides has served as justice of the peace
in Owosso. The Corunna candidate is
Attorney Roy Derham. Mr.. Derham is
young lawyer who bids fair to take
stand in the front rank of the Shiawas-
see county bar before ne finishes his
work here. He is well qualified for the
position.
Our candidate for county surveyor is
the best known surveyor and engineer
in this part Of the state, Elmer f. Joslin.
Mr.. Joslin has had many years ex-
perience with the various problems con-
nected with the work of surveyor in
Shiawassee county and no one would
think for minute of turning over the
Office to any other man. The Office is
one where accuracy is of the first neces-
sity and no one who has ever examined
any of the work of Mr.. Joslin would be
disposed for an instant to deny that his
work is accurate down to the smallest
details.
The nominees for coroner are Super
visor Werner Nj. White and Leo G..
Brewer-the latter now serving by ap-
pointment- both of whom are generally
known about the county. There is but
little contest over these positions.

| l. WI years ago tue lrleuuS Oh AlUeTU ii.
Northway gave their word that if he
We're elected to the office of treasurer of
Shiawassee county he would make a
good treasurer. How well their promise
has been redeemed by County Treasurer
Northway is well known on every hand.
Earlier in the fall, at the county con-
ventipn, Mr.. Northway's record was
given most emphatic stamp of ap-
proval Everywhere it was conceded
that not only in view of the practice of
the party he was entitled to renomina-
| tion and reelection but that his con-
duct of the Office was such as to entitle
any man to denomination and re-elec-
tion. The result was that there was no
opposing candidate and he was renomi-
mated by acclamation.
The Office of county treasurer is an
important one. A careless man in that
position would be an expensive luxury
for any county. A man who was not
scrupulously honest in every fibre might
easily permit small leaks to accumulate
which in the course of the year would
amount to no small figure and still be
quite outside the probability of discov-
cry on the part of the ordinary auditor.
With man of the unquestioned ability
and honesty of A. III. Northway, of
Owosso, all thought of such trouble in
the county treasury is dispelled Mr..
Northway had had experience in 10th
business and Office work for years before
his election and was therefore thorough
iy competent for whatever position he
might be placed in.
Socially Mr.. Northway stands as high
in the regard of all as he does in busi-
ness way. Full of keen sense of humor,
fun loving, and entertaining, he makes
and holds friends on all sides. And
these characteristics have been main
tained in the face of difficulties which
would have soured many another man.
The accident which few years since
crippled him for life, practically depriv-
ing him of the use of one of his ankles,
although it made him an invalid for a
good deal more than year and has ever
since crippled him and seriously inter
fered with conducting any business
which required much getting aboutp
has never for moment really daunted
him. ThF sort of thing could not in
terfere With the effectiveness of any
kind of Office supervision and he has
but taken pains to see that he did what
he could do even more effectively than
before he received his injury.
The world likes to see a man who re-
mains undaunted in the face Of great
discouragements and the voters of Shia-
wassee county were not slow in express
ing their appreciation for such quality
in Al. Northway. His spirit of never
give-up pleased all who knew him at all
and he was elected by majority which
was as complimentary to the party
which nominated him as it was to him
self
During the present campaign Mr..
Northway has had many pleasant words
of commendation for his work during
the last two years and many assurances
that he would receive bigger majori-
ty than the first by which he was elected
two years ago. He is a 10 long re-
publican and has made g1od official.
He has earned reelection, and that by
a complimentary majority, and THE
TIMES predicts that he will receive it.

Don't Forget the Cost.

When you go to vote next Tuesday
remember that you had to pay part of
that $50, 499:46 which went to Sheriff
Dan j. Gerow during the first three
years of his official career! Remember
too that this is not the whole story
What he received from civil cases would
bring the total cost to some people up
still higher
Again, if the bills for this year which
he is holding back until after election
are as big comparatively as they were
two years ago when he held over eight
thousand dollars of the $10,063. 80 back
until after election, you have full per-
mission to begin to figure up what per
cent of this charge Sheriff Gerow is saw
ing mp for you until it is too late for
you to register protest against this
democratic way of doing business. Per-
haps you have not figured up how much
you have contributed to the expense ac-
count of this democratic sheriff already
1t might figure up more than the cost
of several whole boxes of campaign
cigars instead of the one or two cigars
which you may have received. Now
when you have figured this all up sup
pose you do little reasoning for yourself
about the future.
The largest amount paid to the dep
,uties of any republican sheriff during
the last twelve years was during the
first year of Sheriff Scougale's term
when the deputies cost $2,O35.56. The
cost during the last year of his term
was $1,S18.S5. The lowest cost of
Sheriff Gerow's deputies was the first
year when they cost the taxpayers
SO, 756. 40. Last year they cost you
"a, 645.0S, or more than twice as much
as under the most expensive year under
republican administration of the
Office and with more than five hundred
dollars to spare! Now gentlemen you
can Judge for yourself how much more
economical the deputies appointed by
Sheriff Gerow have been than their
chief. You can also do little think
ing about the force of deputies which
the democrat candidate for sheriff
would appoint if you should elect him.
1t will not take very much figuring
to see that the present force of demo
cratic deputies which, with so far as is
known not single exception, is work
ing for the election of the democratic
candidate, will in all probability be re-
appointed. What else could the new
sheriff do? Could he turn them down
after he owed his election to their
work? Could he turn them down after
their chief, the present extravagant
sheriff, had been the principal worker
and the head of the machine which
elected him2 Except for the person of
the sheriff himself how much change
would you have any reason to expect in
the administration of the sheriff's Of
fee if.the democratic machine is again
successful3 Now do you want to re-
tain the present expensive force Of
deputies which cost the county last

There are 45,746 people in Oakland
county, just 12,O35, or twenty,six per
cent, more than there are in Shiawassee
county. For the three years 1901, 1902.
and 1908 the bills of the sheriff of Oak
land county were: s4,e62.15, s4, 29s, 80,
and $5, ,261.O2 respectively or total for
the three years of $14, ,221.56. And these
figures also include the pay of the under
sheriff, turnkey, and Office expenses.
The amounts drawn by Sheriff Gerow
during the same years were respective
Iy: $7219.41, $7,s77.9O, and $40, 76421
or total of sos, 5,s61.55. This amount
is exclusive of money paid for deputies,
and is 81, $1,000 more than the sheriff,
under sheriff and turnkey cost Oakland

population one-fourth larger. These
figures are official. The Oakland county

less than double this number but the ex-

or, to be exact, with population of 1.s
times as great as that Of Livingston
county the expenses of the sheriff's

were 4.79 times as large.
