Without wishing to make invi dious
comparisons it may be said that Michi-
gan has had two good attorneys general
Charles A. Blair and John E. Bird,
says the Lansing Journal. The first
because of his able prosecution of the
railroad taxation cases was elevated to
a position on the supreme bench, leav-
ing his work unfinished. 1t was hap
Ply chance that resulted in the selection
of John E. Bird as his successor, for he
has not only completed the work of his
able predecessor, but he has laid out
new lines of endeavor quite as import
ant. He entered on the discharge of his
duty with but one motive, to do right,
and he has not strayed from the path in
which he first placed his feet Close
scrutiny of his many official acts fails
to reveal one that does not indicate a
sincere desire to do justice and to serve
the people of the state, which is the
highest aim.-Saginaw Courier Herald. !
The TIMES is pleased to endorse every
word of the above. Michigan citizens
ought to appreciate the work of both
gentlemen.

A Matter of Justice.

The county of Shiawassee owes M. H.
Knapp, of Owosso, $4,000 which Mr..
Knapp would like to collect but cannot
do 80 on account of his notes being in
cluded in the list of court house indebt-
edness claims, the payment of which
has been stopped by an injunction. The
notes which Mr.. Knapp holds were not
given for money loaned the county and
never should have been included in the
list against which the injunction was
issued and probably would not have
been had the facts concerning his claim
been properly understood. The facts
briefly are that when Mr.. Knapp sold
his furniture business in this city to
former sheriff d. j. Gerow he accepted
from the latter two county orders
which had been given Mr.. Gerow for
official services, amounting to some
thing over $4,000. Mr.. Gerow had been
unable to get the money on the orders
but it was supposed when Mr.. Knapp
took the same that he would realize on
them in short time When Mr..
Knapp presented the orders and de.
manded payment, there was but small
amount available which was paid and
county orders or notes amounting to
81, 600, drawing interest, were given to
Mr.. Knapp for the balance. The latter
wanted the money due him for use and |
had no idea of loaning the county the |
Mr.. Knapp could have done |
nothing different than he did unless he
was willing to wait for the payment of
the orders and allow the county to use
"a, 600 due him without paying interest
His claim is not in any sense loan to
the county to assist in building the
court house.
Without understanding the facts his
LAIN was included with that of the
,ther creditors who had loaned the
county money and payment was stopped
by the injunction proceedings. 1t
eems to THE TIMES that the gentle
men who asked for the injunction can
lot do less at this time than to petition
Judge Miner to modify the injunction
ssued 80 that the claim of Mr.. Knapp
an be paid without further delay. 1t
s a simple matter of justice to Mr..
Knapp that this should be done. We
'elieve action of this kind would meet
With general approval. .r >.

Don't Forget This.

The Michigan Patron, the organ Of
the State Grange says:
ION September II, an election
will be held to elect delegates to the
constitutional convention. 1t Is pre-
dicted that less than one-third of the
voters will exercise their right of suf-
frage. Yet this is most important
election. The Constitution is the
peoples bill of Rights" on which
all law is based and an election in
volving it is far more important than
one to determine who shall be super
visor or sheriff.
1.-THE neglect of the elective fran
chise is one of the most dangerous
things that confronts this nation to-
day. Did you ever think, dear read

bloodshed and suffering it has taken
to give you the right to vote? Did

j. b. Pease, prominent Wisconsin
| citizen, gives his views as follows on
the presidential situation:
Senator La Toilette is sure to have
large following in Wisconsin when
the Republican convention is called
He is the sort of man that appeals to
Westerners, and is also radical enough
to suit the present conditions, and feel
ings of the people. 1 do not by any
means claim that Senator La Toilette
will secure the nomination, nor do l say
that he will be the candidate of the
Wisconsin delegation, but l am certain
he is the strongest man In the state and
will not reflect any discredit on himself
in his compaign. His strength of char.
acter and fearless honesty are gradually
becoming known, and if he loses votes
it will be because of his opinions and
not because of his character and career.
He has enemies both within and with
out the state, which his outspoken man
ner have gained for him, but there is
no blot on his career, and many who
not long ago ridiculed him are now
coming to admit that he is a man of
much power.
Frankly, do not think that he has
a chance this time. His policies are
well known and he has not yet had
chance to show his real worth in the
Senate; but if he makes race in the
campaign following the next one he
will be certain to give good account
of himself
Just now the country has too many
other candidates and considerations be.
fore it to turn to serious examination
of La Follette's qualifications. He is
not yet known by his opinions, but is
thought to be ultra-radical. Some of
the mud that has been thrown at him
by others seems to have stuck, and it |
will probably take four or more years
before it is entirely cleaned off. But |
he is wonderful man, and in my opin-
on it will be La Toilette against John
L. johnson, of Minnesota, In 1912
'If La Toilette cannot get the nom.
nation this time, and Roosevelt won't
'un, believe that the Wisconsin dele
CATION will waver between Cannon and
Taft. 1t will probably follow the ma
ority on the second ballot, unless some
hing which entirely changes the COM
,lexion of the political map comes up in
he mean time. 4
There are many out there who do
lot believe in Rooseyelt's tariff policies,
md consequently do not agree with
Taft, but they would vote fer The fer.
ner on almost any platform, while with
Taft merely as Roosevelt's candidate
hey might shift to Cannon"

The one hope of the two Ingham
county democratic candidates for dele.
gates to the constitutional convention
is that apathy, Indifference and over.
confidence will keep large percentage
of the voters Of this county at home on
election day, next Tuesday, and that
they may be able to get sufficiently
large vote in Ingham owing to the cleo
ton of representative in the legisla-
ture from one of their districts to over
come the vote in Shiawassee county.
There is some danger that in this
they may be successful unless the
republicans of Shiawassee awake to the
Importance of getting out the full vote
of the county for VIM. M. Fitzpatrick,

The work of the constitutional conven-
tion is of vital Importance to every citi-
zen. The instrument there to be con-.
tructed to be voted upon next spring
by the electors of the state may
be in operation for generation or
more before again undergoing revi-
sion and adaptation to the states
needs. Every person should be per-
sonally interested in next Tuesdays
result, and the man who does not think
enough of his duties on that day to go
to the polls need not complain if he finds
himself practically unrepresented or
misrepresented in the convention. A
light vote in this county is the one and
only hope of Messrs. Hemans and Elicit,
the democratic candidates, the former
IF whom declined to allow the use of |
ais name at the nominating primary
md the latter sought and was defeated
or the republican nomination. We
;annot believe the voters of the county
will be remiss in doing their duty on

'ortant that all voters bear in mind the
act that three candidates are to be

that Colorado farmers and factories

fourth or less of what it costs in this
country. And while it might be few

petition would be felt, it would only be
