TWO MATTERS OF lMPOR.
LANCE

The completion of the inter-
coastal canal and the improve.
ment of Vermilion bayou, by
giving this city a water route to
to the Mississippi will prove OF
great value to US if we only avail
ourselves of it. And to do this
to the most advantage we should
be located directly on the bank
of the bayou. so as to save the
extra handling Of goods, that our
present location at a distance
from it necessitates, and which
extra cost will in q considerable
measure Offset the saving in
freight rates.
Fortunately Lafayette is not
more than a mile in a direct line
from the bayou. and the mistake
in locating the town off of its
banks can be corrected at a com.
paratively small cost by digging
a canal large and deep enough
for boats from the bayou to town.
Such a canal would give Us the
full benefit of the intercOastal
canal and by giving US better
freight rates place Lafayette in a
position to meet the prices of all
competing towns.
From Vermilion bayou to the
Teche at one place not far from
this city the distance is only
about three miles. It would pay
rs largely also to dig a boat canal
connecting these two streams,
as that would give Us q shorter
and better route to New Orleans
by way of Morgan City and the
Houma canal.
The above undertakings are
two of great Importance to this
city not alone in the immediate
advantage it will give us in
freight rates and in increased
sources Of trade, but also because
it vii: put US in a more favorable
position for obtaining factories of
different kinds. The matter is
worth the serious consideration
Of the business men.

MISS DUPREE'S HOLIDAY JOY
She Recalls One Memorable Christ
mas Performance In the City
Of New Orleans.

AXT& with my family out on
@S&9n Long Island, and unless my
engagements take me too
far away l always make 1t a point to
be with them on that day.
There are times, however. in this
profession when the wish must take
second place to necessity, and from
the viewpoint of actual novelty l sup
pose my most interesting Christmas
was the one l spent in the southland.
Our routing took us into New Orleans
at Christmas, and to me, who had al
ways up to that time spent the day In
the colder north, the novelty OF seeing
trees in leaf and flowers blooming wal
as pleasing as it was unusual.
On Christmas afternoon. when 9TH
ers were home enjoying the big dinner
with the family, l was getting ready
for a special holiday matinee. l was
not pleased with myself or with a pro-
fession that demanded of it's members
that they labor on Christmas day
above all others-and 1t was not with
. particularly light heart that l
dressed for my part.
But when the curtain went up on
the first act and ! made my entrance
the welcome l received compensated
for the disappointment l felt.
1t was a special matinee arranged
for the poor children Of the poorest
quarter Of New Orleans, and the n
toyment of those childish auditors
soon melted the DISAPPOINTMENT out Of
my heart.
After the matinee I had arranged
with my manager that I would receive
the little folks on the stage. and the
wise man in his Knowledge of childish
hearts sent out :. hurry order for
candy and other things that make
Christmas q day of cheer to Riddles.
At the conclusion of the last act the
stage was cleared and l held the most
unusual reception that l ever expert
enced.
Clean as pins. but with their little
bodies clothed in many cases in gar.
ments ragged and frayed. they came
up on the stage, were introduced and
sent away after a handshake, each
with a box of candy.
have spent many other delightful
and out-of-the-ordinary Christmases on
the road. but none that afforded me
more real satisfaction than the one

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1908-06-05

The gubernatorial contest will be
on in earnest from this time forth.
Governor Warner has already made
several campaign trips and DR.. Brad
ley has been doing little judicious
gumshoeing on the side. This week
however, the former together with
Lieut.-Gov. Kelley and Speaker Nick
Whelan, invaded the upper peninsu-
la and the latter is swinging through
several counties in the eastern part
of the state, noticeably st. Clair and
Macomb. The genial doctor says
this is the commencement of an
earnest and practically uninterrupted
campaign which will take him into
every section Of the state. The gov
ernor has mapped out an itinerary
that takes no note of time for sleep.
Commissioners Earle is in the saddle
all the time.

HON. j. w. FORDNEY
Michigan's Best Congressman, Whom
Twenty Men Insist Must be Beaten.

The Sebewaing Review says:
The several counties comprising the
eighth congressional district have been
canvassed and twenty-count them
twenty men were found who say the
best congressman Michigan has, Hon.
J. w. Fordney, must go, and that st.
Johns banker, Mr.. Fitzgerald, must
take his place. This select twenty met
in Saginaw last week, composed a
lengthy article to the. effect that Mr..
Fitzgerald was everything good and
Mr. Fordney was everything bad, and
had it published in half dozen
papers. ~
A popularity of this teapot tempest
is that it originated in Caro-, the home
of Fred Slocum, and that it developed
since Mr.. Slocum lost his job as post
master. hence the source of the 2O.mule-
team is easily discernsble, as is the fact
that the two Caro- papers are leading
the fight against Mr.. Fordney. on the
alleged ground that he has been antag-
onistic to Taft for president. The
Review is evidently mistaken as to the
position Of the Advertiser. the Repub-
Gcan paper published at Caro-. It is
true that the Caro- Courier, always the
opposition organ, is opposing Cong.
Fordney and it is equally true that its
utterances will have but little weight
with the Republicans of Tuscola or any
other county in the district.-Ed.
They can't point to an interest in the
eighth district that has been neglected
by Fordney. he is a sound and consis-
tent advocate Of the cardinal and foun-
dation principles of the republican party
protection to American industry
and he has always voted right on every
important question to his state and
district. 1t goes without saying that
the question of tariff changes affecting
vital interests in the eighth district
and of Michigan will come up to be
threshed out in congress in the ensuing
two years, and that no member of that
body will be able to do more for his
state and district than Mr.. Fordney,
The beet sugar industry of the eighth
district alone can not afford to change
congressman. The Cuban menace to
the home industry is bound to increase,
campaign for lower duties on Cuban
sugar importations calculated to Grip
pie the Michigan sugar industry, has
got to be fought to finish, and in this
fight the eighth district and Michigan
needs and must have that interchangeable
champion of the sugar beet industry -
Congressman Fordney.

Sentiment in the city is favorable to
to the granting of franchise to the
Shiawassee Light and Power Co. if
sufficient care is taken to protect the
interests of the city and to this end
the alderman cannot take too much
care. Restrictions in the matter of
the placing of poles, the trimming of
our beautiful shade trees, ETC., should
be insisted upon and it is of great i'm
portance to know that the schedule of
rates is in keeping with that made in
other cities of this size and the ordi.
nance should be so drawn that changes
in rates cannot be made without the
consent of the council. Pass the
ordinance and give the city competition
il electric lines and we shall have
better service but do not do it until it
is known that the same is right for the
people of Owosso, who are the ones
most interested.

The Oregon election on Monday re-
suited in a Republican victory except
possibly on U. S. Senator. The leg
is lature is almost solidly Republican
but under the primary law in that
state the candidate receiving the
largest number of votes is supposed
to be elected by the legislature. In
this case Gov. Chamberlain, Demo-
crat, has a small majority over his
Republican opponent and the strange
spectacle of his being formally elect
ed by the legislature later on is ex-
pected. However, a revolt is al
ready threatened against such a pro-
cedure

That the money contributed by the
Odd Fellows of Michigan at the time
Of the San Francisco earthquake was
both honestly and carefully handled
is evidenced by fact that the Mich
igan grand lodge has received a
check for $1,19S9S as it's share of
of the surplus of the fund which the
order did not expend. The total con-
tributions by the order mounted to
$216,714.49, of which $5S,792.66 is
returned to the lodges which contri-
buted it. AS the letter from the
grand treasurer to the local lodge
states: History fails to record an
other such a practical demonstration
of true brotherly love in time of
need and such a careful and satisfac-
tory management of the same" 1t is
hoped that members of the order will
vote to expend the money for fur
nishing the Odd Fellow home, jack
