HOPES FOR PEACE.

The outlook in the Far East Is for
peace. King Edward, it Is under

with Emperor Nicholas in the effort to
avert war, and so far he has been
successful. 1t is clear that II war is
to be avoided. Russia must make
such concessions as will satisfy Japan,
or at least justify the powers in rep
resenting to that country that Rus.
sia has conceded as much as could be
expected of her. Russia's reply is
said to be drawn up in a conciliatory
spirit. II includes concessions re-
garded as very important by Russia,
and is accompanied by the hope that
the proposals will prove acceptable to
Japan.

FINE MUSIC A FEATURE.
With Tho 6arnum s. Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth

SnoW on Earth.
There are hundreds living in this
community who find an added pleasure
in visit to circus in the music pro
vided. To such music lovers the an
nouncement of the coming of Barnum
q Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth will
be matter of extreme qualification.
This anticipatory pleasure will be great
ly augmented by the knowledge of the
fact that the magnificent military band
of this greatest of all amusement insti-
tutions is quite in keeping with the gen.
eral superexcellence of the exhibition.
1t is far and away the largest musical
organization ever carried through the
country, and will be found to be entire
ly complete, embracing in it's compost
ton every known instrument possible
to use in a military band and each in
strument in the hands of a thoroughly
accomplished musician. The band is I'M
der the most capable and efficient lead
ership of Professor Carl Clair.
During its last trip abroad musical
Europe for five years was astounded at
the exceptional excellence of this band.
In such musical centers as London,
Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Munich and Blu
dapest the press gave the most extraordi-
nary praise. Some of them were frank
enough to say that this splendid band
was superior to any similar organization
of their own and constituted itself the
greatest surprise the show had to offer.
They did not expect such an organiza-
ton to come from America, a country
so comparatively new and strange to
them. 1t is only necessary to add that
Mr.. Bailey, desiring to celebrate the
triumphant homecoming of his enor-
nous show, has augmented the band
very materially in size and it numbers
nearly hundred musicians. The musi-
cal program will be found thorough
ly up to date, including all that is best
in classic music and all that is most
popular in music of the present day,
Prior to the regular performance in the
arena, this band will give a promenade
concert of an hours duration, which
may be heard by everybody while they
are inspecting the marvels of the menag-
erie or while occupying the comfortable
seats provided for the spectators within
the vast canvas pavilion that covers the
arena.
The date when this great tide of tone
will ebb and flow in this community is
June Is.

y. D. Royce Strong Candidate and
Would be Elected

From the Corunna Journal.
There is but one mind Of the republic
cans on the fact that good man should
be nominated for the Office OF register
OF deeds. That this office Is one of the
most important as well as one of great
responsibility is not denied. The party
In power should not forget this fact
simply because the county has been
fortunate in the past in securing good
men. The number OF terms given the
occupants only serves to show the wis
dom of the republican party in this
county. None are more honored today
and none more deserving than Charles
Holman, who served the people for
fourteen years, and left a monument in
the set of abstract books that will be
lasting memorial Of his services. This
splendid condition of things has been
continued by Finch, Bigelow and Royce.
Mr.. Royce's service is so fresh in the
minds Of the people that his merits need
not be mentioned. He is certainly the
peer of any of his predecessors. Ac-
curate, accommodating and expeditions
in transacting business has won for him
the confidence and praise of all who
have had business with the office. This
alone would make him the strongest
candidate that could possibly be nomin-
ated But added to this is his genial
nature, which is as natural to him as
water to the aquatic fowl, makes him
still more popular.
The present county officers have suf-
fered many inconveniences during the
| construction of the new county build
ing, and are entitled to some considera-
tion In making the republican nomina-
tions. These offices are like other bust.
ness and one must learn the duties be-
fore becoming an efficient officer. Mr..
Royce is thoroughly familiar with every
phase of the office and his counsel and
experience is worth everything to the
people as well as to his successors in
arranging things properly, and for the
convenience of those doing business in
that office. The acquaintance of Mr..
Royce throughout the county makes
him very popular candidate for the
reason that these are his friends. His
natural geniality makes him a vote
getter and adds much strength to the
ticket. 1t does seem that no stronger
candidate could be nominated and it
stands the republicans in hand to put
their very strongest men on the ticket.
The republicans have an opportunity
of electing the entire ticket this fall il
they only nominate their strongest men.
Let every republican organize himself
into a committee of one and find out
who these men are and then see to it
that they are nominated.

CLERK JOHN Y. MARTIN
Will Receive the Unanimous Vote of
the Convention.

| From the Corunua Journal.
John Y. Martin, the present efficient
county clerk, will be renominated at the
coming republican county nominating
convention by reclamation. No one eX-
poets anything else so it will cause NO
surprise to his many friends throughout
the county.
Mr.. Martin has proven to be an ideal
clerk just as his friends predicted when
he received the nomination. He had
prepared himself for its duties although
during the time OF preparation, he
knew not that he would be called upon
to perform these duties. At school he
was dilligent and faithful in obtaining
an education. Through his early man.
hood he was industrious, honest and
gentlemanly. AS clerk, treasurer and
supervisor OF his township he earned
the plaudits of swell done good and
faithful servant" Whatever he has
done he has done well; it ever has been
his motto, What is worth doing is best
to do it well.
AS county clerk his duties haye been
enlarged and he has met them with the
same energy, and has given them the
same careful intelligent consideration
as he did ia early life, and consequently
has made a happy success,
Since his election he has enlarged his
acquaintance and increased the number
of his personal friends. He is a genial
campaigner and his name on the repub-
lican ticket will add strength thereto.
His reelection is foregone conclusion
and by a larger majority than he Ie-
ceiyed two wears ago.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-06-03

of strong will and determination who
will not shirk his duty, but who will
see that justice is melted out to all Of
tenders whether they be strangers or
his best friends. He should possess the
elements of good business man. He
should be tactful, honest, conservative,
just.
The man whose name stands at the
head of this article is possessed of all
these necessary qualifications. A sue
cessful farmer thorough in all Ms bust
ness dealings, honest, conservative and
always a faithful worker in the repub-
lican cause.
The township of Burns in presenting
the name of j. f. Barnes to the republi-
can nominating convention, does so.
not because he is a politicians for whom
something must be done for past serv-
ices but because he is man with a
clean record and the ability to fill the
Office with credit to himself and the
county.
There is a tendency among farmers to
support a farmer for office, and Mr..
Barnes candidacy is meeting with
hearty approval throughout the town
ships. The republicans of this county
will make wise choice in nominating
for the Office of sheriff, j. f. Barnes.
