ing the week. The box ball sche-
dule is being played promptly on

and one each from Grieves and Full
er.
Tuesday evenings Pop" was well
attended There was a short liter
ary program after which the topic OF
the evening was discussed by Mayor
Wallace Burke. He spoke to the
men at length and in detail pointing
out the advantages of the commits
sion form of government for cities
like Owosso. He urged that the step
should be taken as soon as the nec-
essary educative work could be done
among the people. The mayor is a
pleasing and plain speaker. All who
heard him Tuesday evening were
well pleased with his presentation of
the subject.
c. F. Hoffman read a report upon
the subject and ex-Mayor Osburn in
formally discussed city governments
of the older countries. Next Tues
day evening the subject will be COM

LAWTON T. HEMANS' RECORD

1t is worthy of note in this cam
paign that Lawton T. Hemans, the
democratic candidate for governor, is
making no reference to his own Of
fetal record. Not a word has he ut
tered touching his official perform
ances or attempted accomplishment
Yet Mr.. Hemans was on the salary
list through two full terms as a leg
islator. He was not present at more
than half the sessions of the body TO
which he belonged, but he drew pay
for full time.
He introduced bill to provide for
an additional state board. But as a
candidate for governor he is now de-
nouncing the existence of so many
state boards.
Mr.. Hemans introduced a bill to
license bucketshops in Michigan. His
bill sought to make the pretended
sales and purchases through bucket
shops Legitimate legal transactions. "
What the people of Michigan think
of the bucketshop business which
would have been licensed and legal
lied if the democratic candidate for
governor had secured the passage of
us Diii 10 S1OWl NY Tic ldSt tlldt dl Tic
next session of the legislature fol-
lowing his effort a bill entirely pro-
hibiting the existence of bucketshops
in Michigan became a law.
Mr. Hemans is now seemingly dis
tressed over state expenditures, but
he voted for more appropriation bills
than any other member of the legisla-
ture during his terms of service, and
afterwards made an address in the
constitutional convention declaring
| that it was not true that Michigan
| legislators had ever made exUavagant
appropriations.
convention Mr.. Hemans opposed the
proposition that the legislature oi
Michigan should have power to enact
laws relative to the hours and con-
ditions under which women and chill.
dren NAV be employed.
This proposition was especially
urged by the labor organizations Of
| Michigan They petitioned that the
constitution should give this power
to the legislature. And the Justice ot
| the request was recognized by the
| majority of the members of the con
stitutional convention. 1t was adopt
ed by the constitutional convention
and later on was approved by the peo
pie and is now part of our state
constitution.
But Lawton T. Hemans made
speech against it, sneeringly referrin,
to it as "a little piece of sentiment.
Why is Mr.. Hemans not referring t,
this feature of his official record?
1t will be observed that Mr.. He
mans has an official record. He wa
member of the legislature througl
! four years. Whv does he entirely fai
to base anv claim to favor from tn
people of Michigan on the work h
performed or attempted to perform
as supposed representative of tn
people?

Two Injured by an Explosion.

Frank La Rue, a foreman at the
plant of the Independent Stove Com
pany and Mark Champion, another
employe at the factory, were pain
fully burned about the hands, arms
and face Tuesday when gasoline
which they were using to clean an
electric motor caught fire and blazed
up suddenly. Mr.. La Rues hands
were quite severely burned and he
will be unable to work for some time
Mr.. Crampton's injuries were not so
serious, but both mems hair and
mustaches were singed Prompt as
sistance prevented their clothing
from catching fire and causing fatal
burns.
1t is believed that the gasoline ig-
nited from torch which had been
set near where the men were at
work. A physician was called and
attended both of the injured men.

THINK IT OVER AGAIN.

If there are any Michigan Repub-
licans who have it now in mind to
desert their party candidates and their
party principles through voting for
democratic candidates at the cbming
election there are some questions they
should seriously consider before car
rying out that intention.
Would democratic victory in 1910
increase the wages of any worker in
the country?
Would it start single wheel in
operation which is idle now?
Would it broaden the market for
any fabric which any American mill
produces?
Would it sell an additional bushel
of corn or wheat, bale of cotton,
pound of meat or anything else which
the farmer or the planter produces?

City Lighting.

The council will have Owosso
lighted under the contract with the
new power company as well as any
city in Michigan. The location of
some of the lights is shown by the
report in the council proceedings in
this issue. Ten 250-candle power lights
on the main approaches to the city is
one of the best provisions of the new
contract, and eight 40 candle power
lights in each ward will make the
streets bright at all times every night
in the year, even to the farthest corners
of the city.

MANY INSANE IN MICHIGAN

Lansing, Mich, Oct. ia total OF
COOS insane persons are now confined
in the various asylums throughout the
state, and for these the state has paid
$1,30225l.14.
A steady increase in the number oi
insane is shown by the following fig
ures: In 1892 the state had but 2,l6e
inmates; while in 1902 the number
was 1868; 1908, 4,5oS; 1904, 4,747;
1905, 4,945; 1906, 5.153; 1907, 5,l88
1908, 5,397; 1909, 5,763; 1910, COOS
The increase in the past Is years has
been $500.
This year also the highest point ir
expense for the care of the insane
was reached, and a period of 18 years
is covered. The following figures
speak for themselves: In 1891, 1884,.
1921; 1902, $778.5287l; 1908, $780,
86517; 1904, $9l7, 1881 "a; 1905, $961,.
25665;' 1906, $oS4,17770; 1907. $o75,.
215.41; 1908, $l.06S,42253; 1909, ST.
106,98l76; 1910, $1,302.25l.14. During
the past 1S years it has cost the state
an increase of $o07, ,388o3 to operate
the insane asylums of the state.
In 1902 the number of inmates ir
tne IlOlHe LOT the Fecple MiIuSu dhe
Epileptic was only 3o6, while today
the number has increased to 1902
There are hundreds of patients about
the entire state whom friepds are try
ing to have admitted to that institu
ton, but on account of lack of ac
commodation tits an impossibility.
However, for all this money ex
pended for this purpose by the state
the taxpayer should note that out o
the total expense of $1,302,25l14 fo
the care of the insane this year, TIL,
state will receive from the various
counties total of $180,000 Thi
amount is paid into the state treas
ury by the counties in conformit,
with law passed during the legis
lative session of 1909.

men and women is being organized in

satisfied and it is stated that part
OF the membership in a large number
of tents will join the new order to
be known as the Knights and Ladies

pull one way and even then the insur-
ance is not any too good. A little
cutting of some of the large salaries
and the curtailing of expenses would
tend toward better feeling

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
Joseph n. Collins will be Fearless in
the Discharge Of His DutIes-Has
Had Good Training and 10
the Peoples Choice.

1t is a foregone conclusion that Jo-
seph II. Collins-now assistant prose-
cutting attorney-will become the law
head of Shiawassee county on January
1st next. The only possible thing which
will prevent Is the possibility that Re-
publicans will be too busy Nov. 9Th to
attend to the first duty of every Ameri-
can citizen, viz to vote. That posi-
bility is so remote it is safe to say that
with New Years day Mr. Collins will
enter upon the discharge of the du ties
for which he has had very thorough
preparation through the efficient posi-
tions he has held-circuit court commits
sioner, deputy county clerk, assistant
prosecutor and in every one of which he
has shown that confidence imposed in
him was not misplaced. SO will it bein
the higher position;. the people can be
assured that Joseph Fl. Collins will ex-
ert- himself to command their approval
through his every official act. His abil-
ity is not questioned, nor is his honesty
or sincerity. His general knowledge Of
the law and his four years practice in
criminal matters will make him both a
safe counsellor and fearless prosecu-
tor, man in whose hands the interests
Of the taxpayers will be guarded while
all laws will be impartially enforced.
Prosecuting Attorney Collins will honor
the Office which the voters will give
him November 9Th by large majority.
