A,movy Bids Too High.

The bids on the revised specifications
for the new armory were opened by the
State Military Board in Lansing, We'd
nesday evening. and, as when the orig
inal bids were opened, were all found
to call for more money than s available
for the construction of the building.
Twelve contractors submitted bids in
each instance with wide variance in
the sums named, the difference between
the high and low bid being more than
twenty thousand dollars on the first
specifications and corresponding
amount on the changed specifications,
with the lowest figure several thousand
dollars above the appropriation. The
Military Board decided not to accel
any of the bids and referred the came,
together with the plans, to the local
committee and the architect to work
out IL possible some satisfactory solu-
ii n. The only way out of the diffic ulty
seems to secure in some way several
thousa more dollars or to reduce the
size of the building and. to the latter
plan there is strong objection as Owosso
and Shiawassse county need an audi.
torium fullv as large rs originally

Meanwhile, the Republican party may
justly claim that the country has given

it believes in Republican policies. We
have an idea that it was policies and
not mere men" who won Republican
victories on Tuesday. We have an ides
that Pennsylvania voted for ''protec
tion" rather than "Penrose." We have
an idea that the return to public life OF
such men as Cannon and Mckinley is a
return to authority Of "partisans" who
believe in those principles Of govern
ment which have almost invariably
produced prosperity under Republican
rule. They have won as republicans
rather than as individuals. And Ger.
tainly republican progress has bsen
most spectacular.
