Death of Mrs. Catherine Owen.l

Mrs. Catherine Maria owen passed
away Tuesday evening at her home,
$50 North lakewood avenue. The flu
neral will be held from the home,
Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev.
j. d. Young of Perry will officiate.
Interment will take place in Oak Hill
cemetery.
Mrs. Owen was born in Ohio sew
enty-six years ago, and when a small
child settled with her parents on a
farm near the village, st. Johns. At
age of twenty-five years, she was
united in marriage to Alvin Owen,
since which time she had made her
home in this county. She came to
Owosso to reside five years ago.
Mrs. Owen suffered a stroke of
paralysis five years ago, from which
she never recovered, and during the
past year and half, she failed rap
idly. She was a member of the North
Owosso NJ. p. church.
Besides a husband, deceased is
survived by three children, a daugh-
ter, Mrs. Libbie Irland and two sons,
Bert, of this city, and John of St.
Johns. A daughter, Miss Jennie,
died several years ago.

same field as is now to be covered, in
fact.
The Democratic congress that was
elected in 1910 received another re-
quest from the president to enlarge
the board's powers by formal au-
thority and bill was introduced to
this end. 1t passed the house, was
passed with amendments by the senate
and was killed by Democratic house
filibuster in the last hours of the ses-
sion. When congress recOnvened the
proposal was renewed and was voted
down by strictly party vote in the
house.
Meanwhile the original board was
smothered by congressional action.
The Democrats, not content with re-
fusing to widen its powers, cut off its
breath of life by rejecting appropria-
tions for its continuance and it went
out of existence July l, 1912.
Incidentally it may be observed that
the amounts annually appropriated
for it's work were $275,000 and $685.
900, and that the amount it is pro-
posed to appropriate for the successor
of what was repudiated four years ago
as useless is 100000.
If the tariff board is the valuable
in schedule framing it is
now said by its Democratic supporters
to be, what defense is possible for the
refusal to continue precisely the same
kind of a board? Why has the cOun-
try been deprived of such an indis-
pensable commission for four years?
The reversals in policy that have
been witnessed at Washington since
March 4, 1913, have been numerous
and impressive, but of them all the
right-about-face on the tariff com
policy is the most remarkable.
Present signs indicate that the Demo-
cratic appeal for reelection this year
will be based on the plea that though
the, party was wrong about every
thing in 1912 it has exchanged all its
policies for it's opponents and must
therefore be right this time.

Timely Hint to Republicans.

The suggestion from the officers of
the Republican county committee pub
lished elsewhere in this issue calling
attention to importance of polling every
Republican vote on Monday is timely
and to the point. Save for the local
contests there Is nothing to call out the
Republican vote, while the Democrats
have on warm contest throughout the
state over the election of q member of
their national committee to represent
Michigan. This fight will result in
getting out nearly a normal Democrat
vote and unless the Republicans are
wide. awake their opponents will carry
some of the townships and wards which
are Republican ordinarily. Heed the
advice Of Chairman Collins.

TARIFF BOARDS IN 1912 AND
1916.

Explanations of the new tariff
board IS purposes have a familiar ring.
Traced to the source of their reminis-
cent sounds, they are found to be ex-
actly the explanations President Taft
made about the tariff board he en-
deayored to institute seven years ago.
The history of that endeavor becomes
therefore pertinent.
Mr.. Taft got tariff board in 1909.
The Republican congress did not agree
with him about the scope of its pow
ers, but it created a commission to
assist the president in investigating
the maximum and minimum clauses of
the tariff and the executive took adj
vantage of the opportunity to set the
members at work studying tariff SUBJ

The City Commissioners have for

motor apparatus. doubtful at first as to
the advisability of recommending the
same to the voters for consideration
they finally became convinced that it
was q matter of wisdom and economy
and have asked for permission to issue
$4,000 in bonds to carry out their
plans to do away with the two fire
stations and to erect modern station
at the center of the city, equipped with
motor driven apparatus. The Com
missioners are doing this solely to give
the city better fire protection and to
ultimately reduce the rate of taxation.
They have investigated thoroughly,
seeking information from many cities
which are using motor apparatus and
without an exception find the service
to be far more satisfactory than that
given by horse.drawn apparatus and at
large yearly saving. Also that there
is less difficulty in reaching fires than
with horses. Another point which
seems to be clearly established is that
progressive cities all over the country
are equipping their fire departments
with motor driven machines and that
In not single instance has there been

facts all favor the plan of the Commits

reason to vote against the bond issue

HAS REMNANT OF ONLY
CONFEDERATE BALLOON
War Department Receives Piece Of a
Silk Dress Used in Its
Construction.

The aviation branch of the War Depart
ment has just received AN interesting
Christmas present in the shape of piece
OF the only balloon owned by the Con-
federate army, which was rlade out OF
silk dresses contributed by the women Of
Richmond during the siege of that city.
This relic was found among the effects
of the late Prof T. 8. c. Lowe, who was
aeronaut of the Army of the Potomac
during the civil war. 1t was given to the
War Department by his son, Leon p.
Lowe of San Francisco.
Prof. Lowe was the first gterDnaut to
take up Count Zeppelin and the first to
take up n United States officer, Gen.
Heintznlan. They looked into Yorktown
of the Army of the Potomac had seen
balloons used in the Crinean war, and &c
made use of them in his campaign, select
ing Prot. Lowe to command chat branch
The captured Confederate balloon was
under the command Of Gen. e. p. Alex
ander with the Army Of Northern Vtr.
gtnia. 1t made but one ascension and
that not very successful. This balloon
was towed down the James river by q
tug.
After the balloon was captured it was
turned over to Prof. Lowe for whatever
use his department might make OF it
Being of impractical materials and con-
struction 1t was cut up and pieces given
as souvenirs to prominent persons Of that
day.
