Thomas A. Edison Says he has Re
tired From MOney-MalSing

The November American Magazine
contains an extraordinary character
sketch of, and interview with, Thorn
as A. Edison, 1.-The inventor.
A short time ago it was announced
that Mr.. Edison was about to retire.
On this point the writer in the Amer
lean Magazine reports:
when we met the other day | re-
ferred to the newspaper reports had
seen.
81 thought you had retired ana
that you were looking for fun?
'Me?' he answered why,
have retired, and I'm having the fun
of my life.'
I've retired he said, from
money-making That's what I have
been trying to escape from. Now I'm
free, and I'm going to have some
fun. Money has got me into all the
trouble I've ever had. If you want
lies and entanglements and trouble,
just go in for money-making If
you want to meet rescals and have
friends turn out bad, get into bust
ness! No, | don't like the crowd or
the game. I don't see how any man
can go in for money-making as q real
business in life. 1t would kill me.
don't need much of anything per-
sonally, but I've had to have a lot Of
money for my work. It's come,
somehow, and now I've got all
need and all want-and I've re-
tired
And your having fun?'
Yes, I'm having the fun OF my
life-steering clear of anything that
has any money-making connected
with it, I'm trying some chemical
experiments. For years I've been
making notes-I've got "a lot os
books up there filed with suggestion
which I've been planning to work
out as soon as I could get the time.
Now I'm going at them-not to make
money--but just to find out things.
I'm going to put lot of things to-
gether and take 'em apart and see
what the result is. That's the great
est fun in the world"

Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Owosso People Know How to
Save It,

Many Owosso people take their lives
in their own hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs

nor to remain in danger when all

Just stand aside and watch yourself
go by;
Think of yourself as che" instead of
'T."
Note, closely as in other men you
note,
The bag-kneed trousers and the
seedy coat.
Pick flaws; find fault; forget the man
is you,
And strive to make your estimate
, ring true.
Confront yourself and look you in
the eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself
go by.
Interpret all your motives just as
though
You looked on one whose aims you
did not know,
Let undisguised contempt surge
through you when
You see you shirk, o commopest of
men!
Despise your cowardice; condemn
whate'er
You note Of falseness in you any
where
Defend not one defect, that shames
your eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself
go by.
And then, with eyes unveiled to what
you loathe-
To sins that with sweet charity you'd
clothe-
Back to your self-walled tenement
you'll go
With tolerance for all who dwell be-
low.
The faults of others then will dwarf
and shrink,
Loves chain grow stronger by one
mighty link
When you, with che" as substitute
for ST."
Have stood aside and watched your
self go by.

Hits the Democratic Party Hard.

Saginaw, Nov lev. r. Burt,
of Michigan's prominent Democrats,
has issued a formal statement re-
viewing the recent election, in which
he charged the liquor interests with
having controlled the results in the
state and in Saginaw county and
Michigan will soon overthrow their
power in politics. He declared their
position Of refusing to obey the laws
and of defeating men who opposed
them was a step towards anarchy and
deplored the conspicuous part sa-
After charging the defeat of He
mans for governor, Prosecutor Pur-
cell and himself for state senator to
the saloons Burt says:
''The Democratic party is unfor-
tunate in having this class of men
in it. 1t is well known that nearly
every liquor man is Democrat.
They have taken their stand against
everything, demanding that the
laws should not be enforced as
against them. The brewers of the
state are back Of this organization.
They own the larger portion of the
saloons and they have made them as
dirty as it is possible to make them
and now they seek to control the
county and state.
''It is a query in my mind whether
the Democratic party had not better
change its name to the Brewers and
liquor mems party" They seem to
have control and they might as we'll
have the name"

THE OWOSSO TIMES

OWOSSO, FRIDAY, NOV. 90, 1905
Sweeping County Option Victories in
ObiO

The county local option law which
has just recently gone into effect in
the state of Ohio threatens to do
mora in the way of abolishing the sa-
looms than all the other local option
laws in the state, although the town
ship law has been operating for TWEEN
ty years and the municipal law has
been in use for the last six years.
The county option law, known as
the Rose law, which was passed by
the legislature of 1908 in Ohio, be-
came effective September 1. 1t pro-
vides that whenever the voters of a
county, to the number of 35 per cent
of the vote cast at the last general
election, shall petition for the hold
ing of a special local option election
in the county, such election must be
held within not less than twenty nor
more than thirty days.
The first counties voted under this
law on September 26. Since that
time 43 counties have voted, out of
which 3S have voted dry and five
have voted wet. The number Of sa-
looms abolished in the SO counties
which have voted dry is 1,043 The
aggregate majority against the sa-
looms was 44,247, while the aggre-
gate majority in favor of the saloons
in the five counties which voted wet
was $3.50, making the net dry ma
jority of the entire AZ counties which
have voted 40,697. The population
of the 3S dry counties is approXi-
mately 100000 and the area 49,
500 square miles. In addition to
these counties, which have abolished
the saloon during the past month,
there are four other counties in the
state Of Ohio which do not have sa-
looms, making a present total of AZ
dry counties in the state, and includ-
ing about oAe-half of the entire
states area.
The municipalities in these coun-
ties which have thus been put in the
dry column are by no means mere
villages only, for included in the
counties which have gone dry are
thirty-seven small cities, ranging in
population from $4,000 down to s.
wv, WHlCH CLUES COuUdiIl IIoIH CeH W
fifty saloons each, and it is a fact
worthy Of consideration in this con-
nection that not only were the ma
jorities Of the votes cast in these
counties against the saloon, but with
but few exceptions the majorities in
these cities favored the no-license re-
gime.
A score Of other counties are now
preparing for elections under this
new county law, and if the present
ratio of wet and dry victories con-
tinues the indications are that there
will be but few counties outside OF
of the state that viii, permit the
saloon to remain.

Conductors of "blind pigs" I'M
derground taverns, and violators of
local option law generally find the
law no joke in both Wexford and Os-
ceola counties. In Wexford it is
Judge Chittenden who is not afraid
to uphold the law, and in Osceola
Judge Mayne was imported from
Charlevoix for the occasion. In the
past it was said that local option al
ways proved a failure because the
law was never properly enforced.
Judging by what is happening
around us this cause of complaint
will hardly prove effective in the flu
ture.-Big Rapids Pioneer.

A Governors Opinion on the Chicago
Stock Show.

Governor Cummins, upon being
asked to express an opinion relative
to the International Live Stock Expo
sition of Chicago, which will be held
from Nov. 2Sth to Dec. 10th, made
the following statement: "The In
ternational Live Stock Exposition
has been a potent factor in giving
to the live stock industry the posi-
ton it ought to hold throughout the
west. 1t has brought into existence
many other expositions of like char
acter in the Mississippi valley, and
has infused new life into the science
of breeding. In my own state its eff
feet upon the display Of live stock
at the state fair has been so notice
able that it is everywhere remarked.
Chicago is peculiarly well stu
ated for such an exposition. 1t is
convenient to the north, south, east
and west. In Chicago, the champion
herds may be assembled at the close
of the annual show season, to con-
test for final honors, with minimum
trouble and expense.
81 sincerely hope that the Interna-
tional Live Stock Exposition may
continue it's helpful and brilliant ca
reer."

Separate Ann Arbor and ID. II. & l.

Steps will be taken within a month
according to present plans for a sep
aration of the Ann Arbor from the
Detroit, Toledo & Ironton, thus car
rying out the terms of an agreement
reached some time ago between con-
flicting interests in the properties.
Formal announcement is made of the
terms of the adjustment between
the Hollins interests and the Detroit,
Toledo 6 Ironton noteholders' COM
mittee, headed by Joseph Ramsey ,Jr.
which secured a majority of the S5,-
100000 Detroit, Toledo & Ironton
notes and was thereby placed in po-
tition to obtain control of the Ann
Arbor. These notes are secured by
$3.50, 900 stock of the Ann Arbor
company and s5,00O,O0O Detroit, To-
ledo & Ironton consolidated mort
gage bonds.
Briefly stated, the plan provides
that II. B. Hollins & Co. and their as
sociates shall receive the $1,000
600 Detroit, Toledo e IrontOn bonds
and the Ramsey, committee shall re-
ceive the S5,350,0O0 Ann Arbor
stock, forming the collateral for the
notes. For the purpose of such ex-
change of interests the value of cash
note has been arbitrarily assumed to
be $909.O9, of which 70 per cent is
assumed as the value of the note
holders interest in the Ann Arbor
stocks. From the circular issued it
appears that H. B. Hollins &c Co. and
their associates control $1,700,00 Of
the notes, while the Ramsey commit
tee controls $3,O0O,OOO, all of which
are to be deposited under the plan.
