For some weeks an occasional
mention has been made Of the name
of Hon. Chase S. Osborn OF the 500,
for governor or lieutenant governor.
Within the past few days quite a
boom has been started for the latter
Office and it was the hope of many
friends that Mr.. Osborn might allow
the use of his name. He however
declines, saying: ct is. an honor to
any man to be given an Office of any
kind where public trust is involved.
/ am grateful to- all those who may
consider me in connection with any
position in the gift of the people.
However, / am not and shall not be
n candidate this year for governor,
lieutenant governor or any other
Office in the state Of Michigan"

Secretary of Treasury George B.
Cortelyou in a speech at the banquet
Of the Utica On. W Chamber of
Commerce urged American business
men to take more interest in politics,
predicting that greater activity on
their part would mean the defeat of
bosses, big and little.

Mr. Cortelyou, "has been found to

our wonderful national growth. De-
votion to it's letter and spirit is the

Speaking Of the necessity of bust
ness men showing greater interest in
politics, the secretary said:
THE business man, if actuated by
no higher motive, should realize that
it is as much to his interest to parti-
cipate actively in political primaries
and conventions as it is to attend to

assigned to those who favored the
amendment, and at the close was
heartily congratulated by many men,
bers of the house. His amendment
was, however, defeated by a large
majority and the whole matter will
be settled in the courts.
Under the heading, Justice in
the courts will be expensive" the
Saginaw News discusses the outcome
as follows:
1.-THE refusal of the house to adopt
the protective amendment asked for
by Michigan lumbermen to the reso-
luton authorizing the attorney gen
eral to bring suit against one of Har-
riman's railroads for forfeiture of an
extensive Oregon land grant was un-
der the circumstances, natural. The
west has been so prolific of land
frauds their prosecution has become
SO popular that it requires only the
most superficial evidence of wrong
doing to start the wheels of justice
in notion Whether they move for
ward or backward is often not of
great Importance to the initiators, so
long as they move. The house with
avidity and the senate with reluc-
lance are always ready to listen to
grievances of this character and in
vestigations are the order of the day.
Whether the Michigan timber owners
NV Tho
ment was not question which great
ly agitated the minds of congressman.
Their duty" was to "go after Harri-
man" and to give no quarter to him
or his friends, or their heirs and as
signs. Consequently, the purchasers
of these timber tracts, although in
nocent of wrongdoing or fraud and
accepting titles passed upon by the
most reputable attorneys of the
country and by even the government
itself, could expect nothing sat the
hands of congress.
We have no doubt the Michigan
lumbermen, who have done as much
as any other class of capitalists in
the country in the bona fide develop
ment of Oregon and neighboring
states, will secure real justice in the
courts. If the statute of limitations
does not safeguard their purchases,
it cannot be possible that the judici-
airy will establish the unheard-of
precedent of going back of a govern
ment patent, regular in its formali-
ties and legal in it's issuance, to dis
possess innocent purchasers of their
titles, acquired under it in good faith
and for a valuable consideration. 1t
would not, however, have been an
act of magnanimity for congress to
exempt these purchasers from the
heavy expense of defending their
titles and protecting their property
from squatters, incident to long and
costly litigation, until the courts de-
cided whether the government could
make the validity of it's letters patent
to land dependent upon the perform
ance of conditions 40 or 100 years
and whether a violation
Of these annexed terms worked
forfeiture of the grant; it would
have been plain and simple justice.
For, as a matter of fact, there is
ample legal opinion to support the
opinion that the government can
not even dispossess the railroad
grantee of its land, to say nothing of
the innocent purchasers, whose
equitable title is just as good as the
best legal title ever quoted by a
court"

accordingly, they will find 1t to their
advantage, because the announcement
