 Peter O'Brien, being by me first duly sworn, deposes and says, that dn the 29th day of February, A. D. 1904, in Bisbee, Arizona, and on sey- eral days prior thereto, he had been an a drunk and does not remember what had happened, and that several people have told him of things thai he did while in that condition, of which he feels very much ashamed, and cf which he has no recollection. That during the time that he was in fhis condition, he is told, that he swore cut a warrant for the arrest of one Thc\1as Scanlon, whereby he accused him Of the crime of stealing the sum of $5J0 from his person, in Bisbee, Arizona. on or about the 29th day of February, A.

just before he left for Tucson. When questioned regarding his visit to Co chise county he replied glibly that he was here on business. We thought as much ourselves. But it was no ticeabie that his business lay prin- cipally with such men as Overlook Connel, Brophy, Cassidy, Rinehart, Clawson, ct al.
 The reporter knew that he was treading on delicate ground when he put the following question: How will the republican convention at Tucson handle Roosevelt after his declaration to Rodey of New Mexico that he was in favor of joint state hood?"
 The question was rude, We admit. There was an expression something akin to that tired feeling passed over the face of the republican fence in- spector. He looked over his glasses and then he looked under them. Be fore he answered he discarded his glasses altogether. Then he blurted out a general denial.
 Roosevelt never said that" ex- claimed Jerry, and you could have heard him for a block. The reporter simply suggested that the delegate from New Mexico was the authority for the statement, and that it had been wired all over the country.
 You can say" he added, that if Roosevelt is correctly reported as fa- voring joint statehood, I'll bolt the convention before I'll endorse him, but you can bet your life the president never said it''
 Following this the accredited repre- sentative of the pie eaters at Phoenix gave it out that there could be 10 statehood legislation at the present session of congress, and he talked like man that knew.

Business Responds To Political
Certainty

The political and business situation at
the present time is in degree analogous
to that which existed just prior to the
first election of Mckinley, in 1896.
Then, it will be recalled, business began
to revive as the certainty of Republic
can triumph developed; and from cleo
ton day onward the industries and
commerce of the country became more
and more active, after the distressful
years of idleness and depression which
began with the panic of 1898.
The tremendous activity Of 1897 and
the years following reached its climax
some two years ago Then came a
slump in Wall street. caused by the or
ganization of all kinds of combinations,
and the throwing of an enormous
volume of stocks and bonds on the mar
ket. The amount was greater than the
investing public could absorb. j. Pier
pont Morgan well described the mar
ket when he said the trouble was 'un-
digested securities" Wall street be-
came dull, and there came lull in
business, which has lasted until the
present time
A presidential campaign is always a
time of business hesitancy. The pres
ent one has been no exception, although
the indications from the start pointed
to republican triumph. Now, however.
even the most conservative business
men can see the certainty of the cleo
ton of Roosevelt and republican
House. The financial world is invest
ing again. Holland writes, in the Phila-
delphia Press, that within few days
not less than 30 millions of new bonds
have been financed in New York; and
he rightly interprets this as indicating
full confidence in undisturbed condi-
tions and renewed industrial and bust
ness activity.
AS it was in 1896. so it is now, with
this difference-that instead of the deep
depression which then existed, we have
had for a. time merely dizziness.
Hence the reaction will not be so great,
but it will be healthier in tone-for,
since the action of the President in the
Northern Securities case, there will be
no more loading of the market with Sc
curities. We will have increased &C
tivity in industry and trade, bull"
market in Wall street, and continuace
of prosperity Under republican rule in
the nation. Toledo Blade.

Duties of CITIZENSHIP

am glad that this question of pri-
mary reform is being so much discussed.
am glad the duties of citizenship are
being over and over again reviewed.
Even good laws will not enforce them
selves. If, during the coming two years
and four years and other years to fol-
low, interest and desire on the part of
the people of Michigan in favor of hon
est methods and fair dealing in the
handling of our nominating system
shall continue, better results than our
state has ever known will be secured.
Whatever may be the means through
which the ideal in such methods is to
be brought about, there should be no
disagreement in the desire for state
laws which will, to the fullest extent
possible, secure the better results desir-
able. The existence of such spirit is
of far more Importance and of far more
value to the state than mere Legislative
provisions could possibly be. But the
statutes of our state should make it as
easy as possible for the legitimate de-
sire Of the voting citizen to be express.
ed, and as difficult as possible for trick
cry and illegitimate influences to find
successful operation. M War

Circuit Court Commissioner.

Although one of the minor judicial
Offices the office of circuit court commits
sioner is in many ways very import
ant one.
Like many another Office it seems
of small Importance to the average citi-
zen 80 long as he has no business to
transact with the Office. When some
thing comes up which affects his purse
perhaps to the tune of many dollars
then it is that he suddenly realizes the
advantage of having man of character
and integrity in this Office as well as in
others seemingly more important.
Two circuit court commissioners are
elected for the county and one Of these
halls from Owosso. This is Circuit
Court Commissioner Neil r Walsh who
has served for nearly two years to the
entire satisfaction of his constituents
and is now a candidate for reelection to
The same Office.
Mr.. Walsh has made an enviable repu-
nation since his arrival on the legal field
in this city several years ago. Attend
ing strictly to business he had already
more than made the foundations for a
ine practice when he was urged by
friends among the republicans of the
city to accept the nomination for justice
, OF the peace. He took the nomination
after spirited canvass in which he
easily outdistanced his competitors, and
then made run for the election quite
rs spirited as the run for the nomina-
lion. He was elected by large MAORI
ty and has since that time given excel
lent satisfaction in that Office.
Two years ago, as already noted, he
vas given the nomination for circuit
court commissioner and again made q
fine run and was elected Mr.. Walsh
was q farmer boy, is strong of physique,
and energetic. He is lawyer of
ability and thorough student of any
ease ia which he is engaged. He will,
of course, be reelected and will continue
to reflect credit on himself and the
county in the circuit court commission
ership.

by THE TIMES article he refers to. He

be given the opportunity to do as he
did when he had the chance. Well,

The republican position on primary
reform is clear, it is rational, it is prac-
tical, and it is sincere. 1t proposes
direct nomination of all officers in every
division aud district of the state where
it is desired and primary election of all
the delegates to state nominating con-
ventions and to any other conventions
that the voters of the districts shall
elect to hold. This is primary reform
that reforms the primaries.
