AMERICAN MONEY IMPERILED.

Toxic, March l7.-United States
Minister Griscom called on Prime
Minister Komura today and renewed
his representations concerning Ameri-
can interests affected by the proposal
of the japanese government to extend
the tobacco monopoly so as to include
manufactured tobacco. He urged the
fair treatment of American interests
and inadequate compensation in the
event of II monopoly being created.
II is understood that Komura gave
him satisfactory assurances. Ameri-
can capital is heavily inve sted in to-
bacco manufacturing in Japan and the
creation of monopoly means its ear
ly and complete exclusion.

foreign markets, would admit to our
own what we cannot produce, or the re-
ciprocity of Mckinley, as proclaimed in
his Buffalo speech: 1--WE will take
from our customers such of the products
as we can use without harm to our in
dustry and labor. This is republican
reciprocity, and we will stand for none
other. The republican party stands for
the protection of both capital and labor
in every lawful endeavor. N1
"The republican party stands for the
reversal of a policy under which our
ocean-carrying trade has steadily de-
clined from Al per cent in 1868 to 8 per
cent in 1908. 1t is reproach to the re-
public that while the value of our sea-
borne commerce in 1908 reached the
collosal figures of SO, 900, 900, 600, yet more
than 80 per cent of it was carried in
foreign ships under foreign flags, and of
the transportation charges for freight
and passenger carriage, aggregating
nearly 5000, 900 only nine per cent
went into the hands of American ship
owners. 1t is humiliating to the last de-
gree to confess that during the fiscal
year ending June 3d. 1908, not one
American vessel entered or cleared at
Liverpool, Bremen, Rotterdam, Lisbon,
Genoa, Belfast, Calcutta, or Bombay,
and scores of others of the great centers
of foreign trade. The American flag
was seen but once during the year in the
great continental port of Hamburg.
During the same period no American
merchant steamer entered the harbor
south of the Isthmus of Panama and the
Caribbean sea. In the ports of South
America you can see the flags of every
nation except our own. During the
year 1901, the latest complete returns,
3,439 merchant vessels of nearly every
flag known to the seas, passed through
the Suez canal, but not one under the
American flag.
FOR THE UPBUILDING OFlCOMMERCE.
1.-THE republican party stands for the
reversal of this policy, a reversal so
comprehensive and complete, that the
time shall not be far distant when
American ships, constructed in Ameri-
can yards, by American workmen, and
manned by American seamen, shall
carry our ocean borne commerce under
the American flag to every port of trade
on the face of the globe.
''The republican party stands for the
creation and maintenance of an Ameri-
can navy, commensurate with the
dignity and assured destiny of the re-
public; not for aggression and conquest
but powerful enough to command the
respect of the world and insure protec-
ton to American interests and Ameri- |
can citizens on land and sea in every |
quarter of the globe.
''The republican party stands for the
and maintenance of the
great inter-oceanic highway, the com
pletion of which is already assured, the

possessions with just and liberal gov

There is still decided need for action
by some one in the matter of the regula-
ton of the speed of automobiles. Since
the matter of passing an ordinance to
regulate their speed was under consider
alton the opinion has been expressed
that this is unnecessary since other ordi-
nances regulating the speed of driving
on the streets would apply equally to
automobiles If this is true then all
that is needed is to see that these ordi-
nances are observed by automobile driv-
ers. There is no need of being harsh ON
any owner of one of these machines
the average owner probably pays we'll
for the pleasure he gets out of his ma
chine by the work of taking care of it
but after driving an auto at fast pace
the average man is quite likely to for-,
get how fast he is going or the danger
he is exposing the public to by such
speed. The matter should certainly be
looked up and steps, taken to prevent
any accidents in Owosso at once. Do.

good county treasurer have been more
than fulfilled. He has been an obliging

Mr.. Northway has no opposition to ex'

cans of the county are not in the habit
of turning down a good official when he
comes before them for a denomination,

with Al Northway, especially when he

Owosso has had the honor this week
of entertaining society which has had,
without doubt. a wonderful influence
for good throughout this country dur,
ing many years past. Nor does that
mean that their influence is ended, for
it is not There will always be need
for education along the lines of temper
ance and purity. Temperance, not only
in the use of beverages which stimu-
late, or narcotics which temporarily
sootke and please, but temperance of
speech and deed and action, in every
walk of llife-the temperance of good
manners. pure thoughts, and kind acts.
And there is great opportunity to work
for greater purity, for purity Of
thought, for purity in the lives of all,
for the one standard of purity for all,
and that only the highest There is
work to be done for purity in business,
in the home, in the church, in politics.
AS long as men and women are human
they will make mistakes and occasion
ally mon and women will be found who
have chosen so many times to make the
same mistake that it has become habit
ual with them Only by having force
at work for purity can the forming of
many bad habits be prevented. Social
vice can be checked only by substitute
ing purer motives. and the encourage
ment of habits of doing things which
will make both the doer and his neigh
bors better. This is, as THE TINES
understands it, the object of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
Cranks they may sometimes be called
by illbred people, and cranks there may
sometimes be in its membership, but re-
formers inevitably have to submit to
being called cranks. 1t is one of the
proofs that they are at least out of the
common path-and it is usually not
hard to decide whether they are in the
right or wrong. The w. G. T. U. is
trying. to benefit the American people,
the American family, and the American
nation, through the advantages to be
gained through temperance and purity,
and in their work they deserve the
sympathy and cooperation of all who
wish well for the country. No one can
deny that there would be much greater
happiness for all if the reforms for
which they are working could be car.
ried out, even to the letter. In spite OF
any mistakes in methods which the or.
ganization may have been in the past
accused of making, and in spite of any
notoriety which may have been won at
any time, unexpectedly, and in the
course of what was believed only the
plain duty of the society, the w. G. T.
u. has undoubtedly done great good
during the years of its existence and all
loyal citizens can join in wishing it q
long period of further usefulness in
working for the reform of the evils
which give it its excuse for existing.
