A Washington dispatch says: Con
gresham J. w. Fordney won a notable
fight yesterday when the bill granting
an American register to the steamer
Beaumont owned by F. w. Gilchrist, of
Alpena, was passed by the senate.
The Atlantic coastwise traders have
had lobby in Washington for a year in
order to keep the vessel out, but their
opposition was finally worn down. Re-
preventative Fordney got the bill
through the house last year against
great opposition and it was held up in
the senate. Early this season the meas
ure was again passed by the house, and
ever since Senator Alger, who is mem
Der of the committee on commerce. has
been trying to secure favorable consid-
Grafton. Senator Frye, who is chair
man of the committee, led the opposi-
ton. The fight has been much more
bitter one then appears on the surface
and it is not likely to stop here, as Gill
christ has his dander up and in addition
to the Beaumont will build several
other vessels of her class for the coast
wise trade.

The United States has fairly good
success in getting trusted for things in
Europe. We have just bought the
Panama Canal as everyone knows and as
our commissioners did not have forty
millions of dollars in their pockets ready
10 pay over as soon as the papers were
all ready for the transfer it might have
occasioned some delay In finishing up
The matter. This is where the advan-
tage of good credit came in. A syndi
cate of Paris bankers concluded that
there was no use in having the matter
delayed and Wednesdays dispatches
stated that they had advanced the entire
sum to the commissioners on the mere
assurance of the attorney general that
the United States treasury would honor
their draft for the forty millions when
it was presented at the treasury in
Washington. That's fairly good credit!

A great hue and cry is being made
about primary reform, but the new
movement has really more to fear from
its fool friends than from its enemies.
Evidently, the Detroit papers prefer to
have the nominations made by them in
stead of having them made by the party,
and some of them seem to have gone
rank mad on the questions of primary
election reform, having gone so far as to
say that all opponents of direct nomi-
nations are corrupt and dishonest. One
thing is very evident, politics will never
be purified by the direct nomination of
candidates and this has been demonstrate
ed in every city where certain candi-
dates have been selected by this method
for more than decade.
There is no question but direct nomi-
nations would weaken the influence of
the party organization and give a
chance for more scheming in political
work than exists today. This paper
does not oppose primary reform, but it
does not believe in going into any new
reform thing at one jump rather than
by degrees. Caro- Advertiser.

Referring to President Roosevelt in
his speech before the republican State
convention in Indiana, Tuesday. Sena-
tor Fairbanks said; "Our candidate is
known everywhere, trusted everywhere,
loved everywhere, for he is every inch
republican, every inch an American.
His life has been dedicated to the public
service. He has served in many capaci-
ties and always with undivided allie
glance and with complete success. He is
the exponent of all that is soundest and
best in republicanism; he stands inflex-
IDLY for the maintenance of the protec-
tive principle and firmly for the cause
of sound money. We can come to &C.
cupy a more conspicuous part in the
theater of the world. He has maintain
ed in many grave and important exigen-
cies the national prestige unimpaired.
Our policies at home and abroad have
been fixed. They are not variable like
the winds, but they are as unvarying as
the principles of everlasting justice and
righteousness, upon which our party is
predicated. We know what he will do
tomorrow, because of what he did yes
terday and today. The people have
confidence in the president and conf
dence in the party for which he stands,
and this means continuous prosperity,
continued progress

BY the agreement reached Tuesday by
che conferences of the house and senate,
rural letter carriers will have their sal
aries increased on the 1st of the coming
July to $720. This is an increase of
$3.50. Like many another good thing
it is good as far as it goes, but does not
go nearly far enough. However, The
TIMES is glad to be able to congratulate
the carriers of Shiawassee county on
this increase and assures them that in
its belief the time will not be very long
before they will be paid still more near
" what they deserve.

Political Pointers.

DR.. j. b. Bradley, of Eaton Rapids,
the leading candidate for Auditor Gen
eral, has always been a leading and
active worker in the republican ranks
and this is the first time he has ever as
pired for office. and his faithful services
in the past entities him to recognition.

1t is predicted that the delegates
chosen from this county to the state
nominating convention of the republi-
can party will be for Fred Warner for
governor. Warmers friends appear to
be the only ones who are working in the
county and the delegates elected at the
caucuses so far held are said to be for
him by great majority News.
The Warner push claim that of the
delegates so far chosen for the State
nominating convention, they have cap
tured about six to one for all other can
didates. If it keeps on at this rate,
Wayne and Kent will do some tall
scrambling a little later, when they are
not needed) to get into the band wagon.
Iosco's four are in the Warner column.
East Tawas Gazette.
"As between Stearns and Warner our
co unity will support the latter" said p.
T. Colgrove, the well known Hastings
politician, at the Phenix house, Satur-
day. But now that Homer Warner
has entered the race it may make a
difference, but doubt if the Detroit
man can muster enough strength to
land the delegation. AT recent meet
ing of our county committee, continued
Mr.. Colgrove, land other we'll known
republicans from all over the county, to
the number of fifty, test vote was
taken, and strange as it may seem War
ner received every vote. This of course
would indicate the sentiment up in our
county. Barry will be for Warner and

Charlotte Republican.
Hon. Fred M. Warner, Secretary of
State, wants to be governor of Michigan.
This fact is probably not news to our
readers but we may know some things
of Mr.. Warner that some of our readers
don't know. He is successful farmer and
cheese maker. And he is good thorough
farmer, good cheese maker and good
Secretary of State. And from personal
knowledge we can say that when Mr..
Warner was in the state senate, he was
an influential, straight, square member
And if you will take the trouble to re-
fresh your memories, you will discover
that in all the political scandals Michi-
gan has been heir to Mr.. Warmers
name has remained clean, and yet he
has been actively in politics for years.
For these reasons and lots of others, we
believe the republicans of Michigan will
make no mistake in promoting Mr.. War
ner to the governors office Carson City

Next Wednesday will be day long tc
oe remembered by the citizens of oul
sister city, Corunna. The corner stone
of the new court house will be laid on
that day with imposing ceremonies. Fol
many years there was the bitterest strife
between Corunna and Owosso for the
possession of the county seat. Today
shat strife has disappeared. The best,
the most public spirited men of the two
cities feel almost as though they lived
In the same city whenever any matter
of concern to either, to both, or to the
county at large comes up. An entirely
different spirit prevails Owosso bust
ness rnen will not soon forget the way
in which their Corunna fraters stood by
then two years ago when the question
was up concerning the securing of the
hig sugar factory for this city and the
whole county. Corunns stood by the
proposition at every vantage point A
few Of her business men were even more
unfortunate than those of Owosso in
endeavoring to fulfill their contract
with the Owosso Sugar Company which
was part of the inducement determin-
ang the company to locate here. And
Owosso did the generous thing, too,
when the question of the building of the
court house in Corunna came up. She
esas no reason for regretting her action.
She is glad that the new court house is
we'll under way. She wishes to see it
Income a building which the county will
be proud of for years to come. She will
reioice with Corunna next Wednesday
and during the years to come while both
cities in common will make use Of the
building which they had needed for
years, and while both cities and their
Surrounding farms will derive the bene-
Embarrassing as the farmers themselves

Gov. Odell told Speaker Cannon this
week that the New York delegation to
the republican national convention in
tended to vote for the latter for vice
president. This has been taken as an
indication that some Of the leaders OF
the party will endeavor to nominate the
Speaker for second place on the ticket.
No more popular choice could be made.

1t is rare indeed that man can be
found who is so well balanced swho is so
necessarily and persistently active and
attentive to the wants of his constitu-

political ambitions, and so strongly in
trench himself behind the breastw orks
of his party as-has Mr.. Fordney during
the six years he has served incongress
1t requires one of extraordinary tact and
good Judgment to accomplish the practi-
cal results he has realized, and today he
is more strongly fortified in the hearts
and condolences of the people he repre-
sents then ever before.-Caro Advertis-

The convention was all for Fordney
and Roosevelt, and precisely what took
place has been foregone conclusion
for some months, yet the deliberations
We're marked with all the interest and
enthusiasm that usually characterize
warm contests of rival candidates or
factional strife over platform principles.
In all the proceedings there was not a
single discordant note from any corner
of the district, but, on the contrary, a
continuous ovation and unstinted eulogy
of the popular congressman from Sagi-
nav. 1t was proud day for Fordney
and the assembled delegates appeared to
be no less pleased than he with the
spontaneous exhibition of harmony and
general good feeling, all of which SEEM
ed to portend for the ides of November
the greatest republican victory ever
rolled up in the district.-Saginaw

A business man, who by birth and
training is democrat, and who, before
his business interests demanded his en-
tire personal attention, served the city
as democratic official, said yesterday
81 am glad j. w. Fordney has been re-
nominated for congress. He can have
my vote, as long as he does as well as he
has done, and if / were in politics
would advocate making no nomination
against him. Not only because it would
be useless to nominate an opponent, but
also because would like to see the dis
trict pay such compli ment as that

proved himself so capable In serving
every interest of the district. He is
alert, approachable, and able. i do not

Gold imports and Expor,s

During the operation of the Wilson.
German Tariff we sent out of the coun-
try $112, 0O0,00 in gold in excess of that
received. During the last nine months
we have imported $50, OOO, 900 in excess
of that exported. Protection gives us a
favorable balance of trade large enough
to pay our immense foreign obligations
and good balance besides. In short.
everything is on the right side of the

Already it is noticed that automobiles
are more common in Owosso than bicy-
cles were for the first year or two of
their advent Already too the echoes
of narrow escapes from these high speed
machines have begun to reverberate.
The first accident, where an auto took a
wheel off the vehicle with which it col
lided, has gone on record. The time
has already come when some measure
of protection should be afforded the pub
lie from enthusiastic amateur chaffeurs
who are disposed to test the speed of
their machines on Owosso pavements.
1t may not he an easy matter to handle
but there is no question but that some
definite speed limit should be made by
city ordinance and the fine should be
high enough to give the ordinance a
we'll defined standing with AUTOMOBILE
lists The auto is fine thing but its
use should not be turned into abuse, and
the rights of the public to enjoy the
streets and cross walks with safety
should not be ignored by any favored
individuals whether they ride in auto
mobiles, on bicycles, or behind Spirited
horses. Of all these however the public
at present seems most in need of protec-
tion from the automobilists. The ordi-
nance should not be an oppressive one
for them but it should be stringent
enough to impress them very decidedly
that the public has Ri hts which they
are under unusual necessity Of exercis-
ing great precautions to respect. 1t is a
case however where even a thousand
dollars fine and ten years In prison
would exercise much greater deterrent
effect than the same penalty ever can,
attached where it is now to the hunting
laws of the states. R&
