Uncle Joe to Our Joe

Under the above heading the Saginaw
Evening News, edited by John T. Win
ship, for several years chairman of the
Democratic state central committee,
comments as follows upon the appoint
ment of Congressman Fordney as a
member of the tariff conference COM
mittee:
Congressman Fordney's appointment
as a member of the house conference
committee on the tariff bill Is certainly
a great honor to the Saginaw man, and
his friends of all parties will extend
congratulations on the distinction that
has come to him. Speaker Cannon had
to jump him over several members of
the ways and means committee, in the
matter of precedence, to land him in
the place; but your Uncle Joseph al
ways finds a way to accomplish his OBJ
ject and his object in this case was to
place his ''stand. patter" friend from
Saginaw in a place of unusual honor.
1t is certainly unprecedented that a
new member of the important tariff
committee of the house should achieve
such distinction, in his first term of SER
vice on that committees but the consis
tency with which our genial congress
man has followed the fortunes of Speak
or Cannon, and the sacrifices that he
has made for him in political way, &C.
count very fully for the favor that has
been shown him. When the Saginaw
congressman was blazing out the way
several years ago for this advancement,
many of his party criticised him severe
ly for the mistake" he was making;
but events have proven that he had a
little prescience that even his most ar
dent admirers failed to give him credk

Mr.. Fordney's Greatest Honor.

From the Saginaw urier-Herald)
Speaker Cannon's selection of Con
gresham Joseph w. Fordney of this
| district as one of the six Republican
house members of the tariff bill con-
ference committee can justly be said to
be the highest honor received by the
able and popular Saginaw representa-
tive. And in using the word "hig hest
past honors that have been paid Mr..
Fordney, both in congress, in Michigan,
and in his own district, are not forgotten.
Six successive elections to the house
from this district, appointment to the
ways and means committee, the third
of Michigan's congressman to have been
so favored, signal tributes by many
state conventions, and other honors,
such as have been crowded upon him,
would have made Mr.. Fordney's career
one conspicuous for many political
generations to come, had not Mr.. Can
non, solely out of regard to his unusual
knowledge of the tariff laws and neces-
stiles, appointed Mr.. Fordney to the
conference committee, side tracking
two older members of the. ways and
means committee, and overlooking an
alleged protest from Chairman Payne
of this act.
1t is only once in many sessions that
congress remakes tariff bill, and con-
sequently but few members of either
branch are delegated with the great
and responsible authority of assisting
in the draft of a measure which for
many years to come is to control indus
trial conditions throughout the nation
Mr. Fordney in his defense of a duty on
lumber, in his plea for the safeguarding
of the beet sugar interests and in his
activities for those interests which are
most closely associated with Michigans
prosperity, showed that he was fully
informed on all phases of the tariff de-
bates. Likewise in the deliberations of
the house committee he proved himself
to be one of its strongest members, and
his efforts, wherever waged were sue
cessful.
Those who know Mr.. Fordney best
have realized that for many years he
has been making most minute study
of tariff laws the world over, and as
result he was extraordinarily we'll fitted
for an important assignment in the
framing of the Payne tariff measure
when President Taft called the special
session of congress to consider new
bill, The many hours of study and
close observation of the workings, de.
fects and needs of tariff law, which
Mr.. Fordney had crowded into his busy
career these many years past, instantly
showed results when the discussions be-
gan, therefore it may truly be said that
Speaker Cannon elevated the Saginaw
congressman over two of the older
members of the ways and means COM

Battle Creek Liquor Sales

That the good people of Shiawassee
county who favor local option and by
whose votes it will be adopted in Shia-
wassee county next April may realize
some of the difficulties in enforcing the
law, we give place to the following ar
ticle from the Coldwater Courier
There is no doubt that the law is hard
or to enforce in city the size of Bat
tie Creek than in Coldwater or even
Owosso, yet that does not mean that it
impossible to reach offending druggists
who seem to be the ones complained of
in Battle Creek. The Courier says:
One Battle Creek druggist reported
49S sales of liquor last week, or twice
as many as the total for all the drug
gists in this county. The Battle Creek
Enquirer of yesterday says:
"Sick people to the number of 1896
secured relief by purchasing liquor in
drug stores of Calhoun county last
week. At least that is the number of
sales reported to Prosecuting Attorney
Howard Cayanaugh by the drug stores
of the county. AS usual Battle Creek
folks are the sickest, 1850 sales being
reported in the city. Week before lasts
total was 1894, and 2,726 for the city
Some of the druggists of the county
are growing tired of the business, and
three have notified Prosecutor Cava-
naugh that they sell no more liquor,
having permitted their government
licenses to expire. AS usual in Battle
Creek, Amberg & Murphy have taken
the cake for doing the biggest liquor
business, reporting 498 sales. The con-
ISOLATION prize goes to w. H. Willard,
who reported but four sales for the
week just closed. Last week Amberg
& Murphy had 500 sales and Willard
but II. j. w. Bradshaw of Marshall;
Grove Green, of Marshall, and George
Bingham of Homer, are the three drug
stores of the county where liquor can
no longer be purchased legally Their
government licenses have expired. An
Albion drug store has also refused 10
sell liquor for some time"
The people of Branch county certain
ly have reason to be encouraged. In
a humorous article the Battle Creek
Journal suggests that "a few outside
physicians be imported to help in car
ing for the ''sick" The Courier would
suggest that better remedy would be
to import some of Branch county's
officials and to include the circuit Judge
in the list. The article reads:
THE people who reside in Calhoun
county, must be a very sick lot. They
buy for medicinal purposes several bar
rels of whiskey every week, according
to the reports from the druggists. 1t
takes upward of nine hundred pints of
firewater every week to keep only a
portion q the population out of the
hospital 1t is sad thing to think that
so many Of our fellow citizens of Michi.
gan must suffer the terrors of perpetual
illness and it seems as though some
thing should be done. If the local
physicians need any assistance popu-
lar subscription might be raised to send
in outsiders, as almost every commun-
ity has score or more doctors that it

This Looks Bad for Local Option City

said: More than 200 cases of beer were

glided into the city consigned to the

can spare without much trouble. The
situation in Calhoun is really alarming.
One druggist in Battle Creek put up
three hundred bottles of whiskey for
persons who were lingering on the
brink of death and several other drug
gists in the same town did quite as
much in the same week. An enforce
ment of the law might possibly improve

The fight which the Michigan member
made on the floor in behalf of a duty
on lumber appealed to uncle Joe" and
he set aside the usual precedents of the
house and named Mr.. Fordney to rep
resent the northwestern section of the
country on the committee. Mr.. Ford
