NOT A BOLTER
But Mr.. Fordney Wants to Have His
WAY AbOut DELEGATION.

In his speech in the Republican
club banquet at Bay City Monday
night Congressman Fordney OF the
eighth district, referring to the COM
ing national Republican convention,
with a humorous reference to his
ambitions, said he wanted to be del
egate and hoped to be one; he
thought he was once, but learned
later he wasn't.
"But / want to go uninstructed, y
he said. Remember that when you
vote at the caucuses; send your rep
resentatives uninstructed. Don't tie
them up; it will be the mistake of
your life. l want to he a delegate,
but / will not be one if l have to go
bound hard and fast to line of &C
ton that subsequent developments
would render untenable. l don't
want to fall outside the wall; I want
to be ready to meet any changing
conditions that may arise. But will
say that whoever the Republicans Sc
lect as their leader in the coming
struggle, shall support him with all
my strength whether he be my per-
sonal choice or not. l shall be a
Republican. - Saginaw Courier
Herald.

G. T. Wang An Interesting Speaker

c. T. Wang, of the U. of NJ, and
who is studying there to fit himself
to return to his own country and dc
missionary work, proved to a large
audience of men at the German Even
gelical church Sunday afternoon, that
he is all that has been said of him as
a speaker.
| Mr.. Wang's subject was Christiani-
ty and the Future of China and he
handled the subject in fine manner
What he said went straight home and
he told a great many facts in a few
words. He said he could not help
but admire our country, with all its
great institutions and he compared
this country to his own. Then he
showed the reason why China is be-
hind the United States. 1t is not be-
cause it has not the natural facilities,
nor because the Chinese are not in
dustrious but it is one great thing,
the lack of character. He said when
this country was in trouble that we
had our Washingtons, our Lincolns
and our Roosevelts, to rise up and
make a stand for what is just and
right But these men he said are
lacking in China and this is the rea-
son that China is not one of the pro-
gressive countries of the world.
He also made it very clear that to
make nation successful and pro-
gressive, that it must have men of
Christian character. This, Mr.. Wang
believes, is the biggest factor of ALL
for it is this quality in a man that
makes him able to stand up for what
is right Mr.. Wang said that he felt
it his own responsibility to carry the
Gospel to his fellow countrymen and
that it is the duty of the people of
this country to help in all ways pos
sible
After Mr.. Wang had gotten through
talking, e. B. Stewart told of what
the local Y. M. C. A., is doing for mis-
sionary work, giving $50 a year for
the work. This is made up by the
different members pledging them
selves to give so much each year to-
ward this $50. This amount was rails
ed Sunday afternoon.

THE OWOSSO TIMES
EDMUND o. DEWEY, KDIToR.
OWOSSO. FRIDAY FEB. 81, 1908
Protection and Free.Trade Votes.

1t may justly be presumed that maj
who will get consent to print speech
in the Congressional Record" q
speech entirely undeliyered) for tn,
purpose of distribution among his con
stituents, and who will put at the enc
of the speech prolonged applause" OF
loud applause" absolute false
hood--will not be worried about false
statements and false deductions in the
body of the speech itself.
The Hon. Robert M. Wallace, Dem
ocrat and Free-Trade Representative
from Arkansas, obtained permission
from the House December 10 to print
three speeches in the Congressional
Record These three speeches ap-
peared in the Record" December 81,
They were never delivered or read;
they were simply printed. At the end
of the first speech devoted to Tariff,
appears the words prolonged ap-
plause" At the end of the other two
appear the words cloud applause.
Mr.. Wallaces Tariff speech cannot
do much harm. 1t will not be read
even by the 1886 citizens of Arkansas
who voted for him, he having no OPP
position. In this connection, however,
while the subject is not new one, it
may be we'll to show how many votes
were cast in Free.Trade district of the
South as compared with Protection
district of the North.
The Seventh Congressional District of
Arkansas. which sent Mr.. Wallace to
the House of Representatives, has
population of 100, 500, and the total vote
cast at the last Congressional election
was $3.50.
The eighteenth District OF Illinois,
which sent Mr.. Cannon to the House,
has population of 1888, and Mr..
Cannon's plurality of 10,027 was more
than three times the total vote cast in
Mr.. Wallace's district, while the total
votetin Mr., Cannon's district was 80
O29.
York District, which sent Mr.. Sherman
to the House. 1t has a. population of
l83, $40, less than the population of Mr..
Wallace's district, and vet the total
vote cast was 45,090, or fourteen times
tho vote in Mr.. Wallace's district. In
other words. one man in Arkansas can
offset fourteen men in New. York.
The following table will show the
contrast clearly.
POPULATION AND VOTES CAST IN THREE con-
GREssIoHAL DISTRICT, 1906

Population ......i90.609 209.2S3 1888 $40
Total vote cast. 1926 39,029 5000
And yet if Tariff bill were to be
voted on in the House of Representa-
tives Mr.. WaIlsce's vote would count
for as much as Mr.. Sherman's or Mr..
Cannon's. and this is not an extreme
case either. All Of which is both true
and interesting-Americau Economist.

Advertised an Auction Sale and Real
igcd Handsomely on the In
yestment.

j. w. Roach, a farmer living near
Clyde, Mich, tested the efficiency of
advertising recently. He was about
to hold a public auction and planned
an advertising campaign. For sever
al weeks he announced his dates in
the local papers and the last week
came out with half page advertise
merit ordering 500 extra copies of
the paper for distribution. He en-
ployer four auctioneers and advertis-
ed the fact He told in an interest
ing way. through his advertising, that
he would have big sale-and plenty
to eat. The sale was held adjoining
Clyde and the crowd that attended
was estimated at 5000. The Clyde
merchants did n big business as re-
suit. Before the event Mr.. Roach
estimated the amount of the sale at
$4,000, but it footed up to $4,000.
His printing bill was $3S, and he at
tributes the remarkable success of
the sale to judicious use OF print
ers ink. He said TO a representative
of the newspaper: printers ink
made me at least $500 On that sale;
I got the people there and they
bought whether they needed the
goods or not" w

Bennington Grange.

/. Bennington Grange held anothe
rousing meeting February IL. Eigh
new candidates viz, Mr.. and Mrs
l.. T. Woodruff, T. Stubbins, Mr.. an(
Mrs. M. Castle, Mrs. Lee Byerle an(
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Warren, were in
itiated in the first and second de-
grees.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Love, of owes.
so Grange, were present and Mr.
Love assisted in the initiation. A
sumptuous dinner was served at
noon, about As grangers being serv-
ed.
After the usual preliminaries, the
meeting was given over to the lee
turer.
j. Ruess being absent his paper
was carried over to the next meeting.
Mrs. Lewis Jones read a most eX-
cellent paper on the subject, "How
Can We as a People Ever Get Back
to Simplicity" She spoke of the
struggles of our fore fathers, who
considered themselves we'll off, in
deed, if they had enough corn meal
and potatoes to last from one sea-
son to another. Fashions they knew
nothing about. If they had a second
dress to be worn on Gods Day, while
attending worship, they were CRATE
full. They never complained of their
plain fare, and considered luXuries
that their children might fare better
than they.
She considered that a habit of
year was heard to break to say moth
ing of one lifetime. She thought
we were so accustomed to luXuries
that they appeared to us as neces-
stiles. Mrs. f. S. Warren thought
the reading matter on culinary AIT,
which is read by nearly everyone en-
HANGED the luxurious living of today.
Mrs. Geo. Slater considered con-
tenment better than riches. If the
larder contains plain fare, be thank
full and if the heart is light, never
envy any one who has had better
clothes or who eats more luxurious
food.
She thinks one reason why people
verge on extravaganza today, is the
fear of other peoples criticism. She
said if one chose to wear calico
dress to church, no one whose mind
and heart was right would notice it.
Mr.. Woodman thought human ma
ture craved the best, and that we
should get the best we could within
our means, but never skim over the
surface to keep up appearances. We
should do our part thoroughly and be
what We really are.
Mr.. Love said that we were not
judged by what we have but by what
we are. Mrs. e. Burke favored the
assemblage with a recitation and was
heartily applauded.
An essay on ''The Life of Lincoln"
which had been thoughtfully prepar-
ed by Frank Ruess, was read by the
Lecturer, as Mr.. Ruess was unable to
be present. A vocal duet by Mrs. E.
Kline and Mrs. Leroy Drury closed
the lecture hour

Deafness Cannot Be Cused

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an
iufiamed condition Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t Is entirely closed. deafness Is
the result, ard unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh.
which Is nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We wilt give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF deafness (caused bv catarrh) that can.
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

= BOUT O'clock on the following
IA afternoon Mrs. Mortimer's
Y maid. who had almost finished
tress' hair, was called to the door by
q persistent knocking, which at first
she had been hidden to disregard.
It was Mortimer's man, desiring to

But Mullins could not say what the
matter might be, and he went away,
only to return in few moments bear
ing a scratchy note from his master,
badly blotted and still wet, and Leila,
with a shrug of resignation, took the
hlotched scrawl daintily between
thumb and foretinger and unfolded 1t.
Behind her the maid, twisting up the
masses of dark, fragrant hair, read the
note very easily over her mistress
shoulder. 1t ran, without prelimi-
naries:
I'm going to talk to you whether you
like it or not. Do you understand that?

coloring her finger tips. She dropped

out her hands, plump fingers spread.

her chocolate thoughtfully, nibbled a
bit of dry toast, then motioned the
maid to take the tray and her depar-
