ports its utter failure throughout the

hundreds of calls from business houses

largely increased attendance. II would

Pay the County Debt.
From the Press American.

FROM the FreSS 'Atnelrchu'
More thoroughly than in either of
the other elections held to vote on
the payment of the outstanding coun-
ty indebtedness, do the people in
general understand that we are under
moral obligations to pay the debt.
The argument has been advanced,
and by men whose character and
achievements give the lie to such an
unworthy subterfuge, that we are not
legally bound to pay the Indebtedness.
The truth of that assertion will be
decided in the courts; but for the
sake of argument, let us admit that
we are under no legal obligations.
Then we can look at it from a higher
standpoint.
What man wants carved on his
tombstone, when his life's work is
ended: HE did only what he was
legally compelled to do? Would
that be considered the evidence of a
well-spent life? Yet that is the sort
of a Characterization which some men
not all residents of our county, so
wish to plaster upon us.
1t is admittedly silly to argue that
mans laws always jibes with Gods
law, for it. does not. The man who
scrinips his wife and children may
not be legally responsible, but we are
taught to believe that he cuts poor
figure in the heavenly COURTS. The
man who persuades a friend to sign
a note with him, evades the payment,
although he may have had all the
benefits from the transaction and
used the money, and forces his asso-
ciate to pay the obligation, could
accomplish such a transaction by
perfectly legal methods. Yet his
action would earn the contempt of
all honest men.
Another example: 1t is possible
to sequester funds and be declared
bankrupt because no assets are visi-
BILE. The bankrupt, purged by the
bankruptcy court, may then walk
abroad among the creditors he has
defrauded, enjoying the money which
rightfully belongs to them. Yet the
law says he is spotless.
How many of the people who in
tend to stay in this county want to
rest under the imputation of crook
edness which continued evasion of
the county Indebtedness places upon
us-at least in the eyes of the outside
world? AS 1t is now, are we proud
of our county,. or do We feel a little
like apOlogizing when we go away
and people ask us where we're from?
"Shiawassee? Oh, yes; you've had
some trouble over your finances down
there. Understand you're trying to
get out of paying the county indebt-
edness." Some of us, at least, have
had the above handed to us, and it is
not a pleasant sensation.
OF course, if we lived in California
or New York, we don't mind it so
much; but we whose homes are in
the county, and in the past have been
proud of her, feel more keenly about
it. We don't condone the action of
the supervisors in mourning the obli-
cations which they did, in fact, we
aren't particularly interested in them
now. We are interested in the good
faith and the good name of Shiawas-
see county.

men as delegates to the coming con-

An Important Question.
From the Perry Journal.

From the Perry Journal.
The Importance of selecting the right
men for constitution revision cannot be
over estimated. Our present constitu-
ton is 81 years old. 1t has been twice
revised and both times rejected by the
people and on the 18th of August we
select delegates to revise again. Ger
tainly what the people want is consti-
tuition that shall equally protect the
rights and interests of every citizen.
The best talent in the state is none to
good to grapple with the problem of the
revision, he must be broad minded
enough to lay aside every utilization or
organization of men so as to have con-
stantly in mind Roosevelt's golden rule
benefit to all, injury to none" We
should not select man because he is a
firmer or merchant, labor union or
n labor unionman, lawyer or preach
or, but because he is man having Gull
ture and ability to take in all of the
diversified interests of the state so that
each shall have equal protection before
the law. A member of any organiza-
ton who has sought to enact class leg
islation should be bar rather than a
recommendation for that possession.
Politics is certainly set aside, every
man can vote for his choice. Let us
see to it that we select as near as. posi-
BILE men of the Roosevelt type. It
seems that quite number Of the voters
of Perry think that Odell Chapman, of
Owosso, comes nearest to the require
ments as herein stated.

Republican Policy.

Any Republican national convention
and any Republican Congress will stand
to and abide by the present Tariff in all
its essential features; any Republican
candidate will stand on the platform.
We surmise that other questions will
have more to do with the selection OF
the candidate, and will be more in issue
in the campaign. The Republican
party never lowered its standard one
inch to secure votes for its sound money
policy, in 1885, however any imagined
otherwise 1t is going to take an open
ground in favor of the proper regula-
tion and restraint of corporate wealth;
but it will not in the least lower its
Tariff policy to that end. The Repub-
liGan party is not going to drive bust
ness out of the country to kill monopoly;
it is going to keep it possible to do bust.
ness on an honest basis, and then COM
pei men to keep to that basis. Free.
