Editor County Record
By request, if you will allow me
space in your valuable paper, in a
feeble way will endeavor to give
your readers a brief sketch Of the
drill we have on the 10-inch guns.
To load and fire, the service of
the piece at drill is conducted habit
ually as though shot had just been
fired.
Before the command, load" or
commence firing, is given, the
cannoneers are posted in the posi-,
tions they would occupy immediate
ly after firing. No 8 we'll back to the
right and rear of the truck, with the
lanyard extended, the chief of breech
detail about four feet in rear of the
breech.
The truck at the loading position;
Nos l, 4 and 9 on the right of the
rammers, Nos 2 and 10 on the
left, Nos 9 and 10 take hold as far to
the rear as possible without inter-
fering with each other; Nos 8 and 4
take hold about the center; No l
takes hold about four feet from the
head,so as to guide it against the
base of the projectile.
At the command, load, or
commence firing, the breech is
opened and No 2 wipes any residue
from the breech recess and then
takes his place on the rammer, just
in front of No 10; Nos II and IL
run up the trucks; as it passes the
rammer detail, the head of the
rammer is placed against the base of
the projectile by No. Land the men
on the rammer follow the truck, all
taking firm hold on the staff and
with both hands. AS soon as the
truck brings up against the face of
the breech, No 2sets the brake, ,and
the men on the rammer run and
send the projectile home with the
greatest possible force.
The chief of the breech detail
notes if the projectile is seated; if
not,he commands, home RAM, and
the men, all working together,
heave on the rammer until the pro-
jectile'is pushed home. AS soon as
the brake of the shot truck is set,
Nos IL and IL step to the right and
left of The truck, respectively, and
each picks up a section of the pow
der charge. AS soon as the projectile
is seated Nos 2, 9 and 10 quit the
rammer, No 2 steps to the left of
the truck; Nos 9 and 10 run to the
tripping bars and take hold of them;
ready to trip; Nos l and a withdraw
the rammer until the head is near
the rear of the truck. AS soon as
the rammer is withdrawn No IL
throws in the first section of powder
charge; Nos l and a ram this section
we'll into the chamber; No IL steps
back to the truck handle. AS soon as
the rammer is withdrawn after
ramming the first charge, No II
places the second section on the
truck; Nos l and 2 force it in by
by hand until it's base barely clears
the gas check seat; No 4 then with
draws the rammer and carries it to
the rear of the platform, standing
by for the next loading. Nos II
and IL remove the truck, take it
back to the ammunition hoist, turn
it over to the hoist detail and take
post at loaded truck: During the
loading No 8 coils the long lanyard
and serves the vent. AS soon as the
truck is withdrawn the breech is

PAYNE TARIFF is GREAT REEVE
NUE. PRODUCER
Brings Revenue of Government up to
High Water Mark.

Washington, July 9-Democrat and
'insurgent" Republican critics of the
Payne tariff law will have to face in
the coming campaign some facts that
will be hard to explain away. One of
these is that during the fiscal year 1910,
that ended June 30 last, the customs
receipts of the United States exceed by
million dollars the record of the ban
ner year of 1907. The revenue produc-
ing power of the new law apparently is
as great as it's chief supporters in con-
gress promised.
Here is a comparative statement of
customs collections beginning with 1902,
issued today at the treasury depart
ment: 1902, 1854, 444, 70s, 10; 1908, $24S,-
479, 5s1.S1; 1904, 1891, 274, 564. 81; 1905,
$261, 79S, $50 81; 1906, $500, Psi, S77. n;
1907, $685., 233, 1852 70; 1908. 1886, 113, $780,
30; 1909, $500, III, 933 95, and 1910, 1888,
043, 800.
1t is true that the 1910 receipts include
a month and five days under the Ding
ley law, because the new law did not
go into effect until August last. The
increase, however. must be credited to
the new law, which has been in opera
ton for nearly eleven months.
When Representative Nicholas Long
worth was in Massachusetts few days
ago he made speech on the new tariff
and explained in his quiet, common
sense way just what it was doing He
is member of the ways and means
committee and helped to frame the bill.
When he returned to Washington he
told some friends that he had made
hundreds of converts among persons
who simply did not understand the
measure at all.
eff this can be done in Massachusetts
in day." he said, "what can Re done
in Ohio during an entire campaign"

lie peserves Endorsement.

If the republican voters of Michigan
will act upon the matter of selecting
their candidate for United States sena-
tor on the reasonable and practical
basis of deciding as to who can render
the largest and best service for Michi-
gan and in behalf of all the important
requirements relating to that office
Senator Burrows will be chosen as the
republican candidate. Senator Burrows
is one of the most influential men in the
nation in matters of national legisla-
ton and he has always exercised his
ability and his influence in the last de-
gree in accordance with the plainly
expressed principles and pledges of his
party. He has not been an eager ap
plicant for popularity for himself re-
gardless of his obligations as repre-
sentative of his state and his party and
he has never lacked in courage and in
ability to lead the state and national
affairs at times when his leadership was
greatly needed. Senator Burrows
thorough faithful service and effective
service in behalf of the people of Michi-
gan has fairly earned their further ap-
prevail and their formal endorsement

MIchisan's Finances.

Lansing, Mich, July 21.-The annual
report on the finances of the state, is
sued by State Treasurer Sleeper, shows
a much better condition than a year
ago. With the closing Of the fiscal year
there was balance in cash of 81, 4S7,
sS3 7s as compared with 1913, 967. "a
last year The total receipts of the
year were $l3, 412, 149 IS and the dis
bursements S1s, 53s, 23s 90, both of which
sums are larger than those of 1909.
The different departments of the gov
eminent which collect fees made much
better showing this year. One large
source of fees was the collection of mo-
tor vehicle licenses, a total of $5S, 1863 So
was collected this year as compared to
IS q last year.
The game and fish wardens depart
ment collected $11, 300 in fshermens
licenses in 1910 as compared with So
81 in 1909. One new item in the report
is fees collected by the clerk of the
supreme coult, amounting to SO, 145 %
Ia distributing the money appropri-
ated by the legislature the total this
year was 50 ,S6S, 449 30, while in 1909 the
total was So, 1850, OOS IS. Expenses of
government, which covers the opera
tions of the departments and the main
tenance of state institutions, amounts
to $4,000, 3971l, Last year this sum was
$2,C03, 2S6 g. A large part of this in
crease the past year is due to the in
creased cost of maintaining the asylums
of the state.
The railroads were a good source of
income for the state, paying in a total
of "a 39S, $780, as compared with 49,,
S6i, 600 last year. Life insurance com.
panies contributed $a25, 1892, an in
crease of about $50, 900, while fire insur-
ance companies paid in 1895, 65S GO, an
increase of about $1,000. Even the tel
ephone companies, which only paid the
amount of taxes they claim they owe
paid in 1923, 636 70 as against the previ

Michigan Needs a Chase Osborn.

The Ingham County News believes
it wisest and most expedient from a
Republican point of view to nominate
Chase S. Osborn of the 500 as the
partys candidate for governor.
With Chase Osborn at the head of the
ticket, republican success, not only for
the head of the ticket, but for county
officials, members of the legislature and
members of congress, is assured. While
we have nothing but the kindliest feel
ing toward Mr.. Kelly. with popular SEN
timent so strongly against the Warner
administration his nomination would
mean hard, gruelling contest with re-
duced majoritles all along the line and
possibly democratic success in many
lower peninsula counties. Two years
ago rs, 600 Republicans, because of this
anti. administration sentiment, split
their ticket. Only the fact that it was
presidential year saved the Republican
party from defeat. The present is an
off year, sentiment agoinst the admin
istration is still in the air in many To-
calities, and many regard the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Kelley as continuance of
the administration.
Chase Osborn has a splendid record,
without spot or blemish. He was an
active lieutenant and supporter of Haz-
en- S. Pingree. He is strong, forceful,
fearless and independent man. He has
the personality, the dignity, the ability
and the courage to make an executive
of whom the whole state would be
proud. His nomination would insure
a solid, unbroken front on election day.
1t would mean the old-time Republican
majority of $4,000 to 100000. 1t would
mean the election of solid Republican
delegation in congress, a solid Republi-
can legislature and Republican county
officials all over Michigan.
AS governor, Chase Osborn would
bring to the discharge of his duties,
remarkable abilities, staunch courage
and high ideals. He would be indebted
to no machine. obligated to no special
interests. He would be his own and
Michigan's own man.
Knowing as we do of the widespread
feeling throughout Ingham county that
a thorough house cleaning is needed in
several state departments, we feel con-
fident that the. Republicans of Ingham
county will on Sept. next cast the ma
jority of their ballots for "Chase Os-
hurn and a New Deal. Mason News.

Among the candidates this year for
the Republican nomination for COVER
nor is a man. who is without doubt the
most promising in the state of Michi-
gan aspiring to that hight honor Chase
s. Osborn combines the qualities that
have marked some of the best chief ex-
ecutives of the state. He has the fear
lessness of Pingree, the integrity and
diplomacy of John T. Rich, and the
good Judgment and lovable qualities of
a Cyrus q. Luce.
Fortunately for himself and the rank
end file of the party, he is not tied to
any machine or clique of Office holders.
He is independent, and if nominated
and elected there will be no restraint
upon him of any kind. He will be able
to use his own good Judgment in, all
matters pertaining to that Office. He
will be in position to give the state
the best administration ever had and
we believe it will be his chief ambition.
1t is gratifying to note that his candi-
dacy is meeting with hearty approval
in all parts of the state, and that his
chances for nomination grow brighter
every day.-Pontiac Jeffersonian.
