Every man to his own profession It is a great mis take for any mau to engage, in a busi ness ho does not understand Gov. elect Warner is an ideal citizen and a gentle man. He did not lose his self-respect or his head during the campaign. He stood by his honest convictions and cut his own cheese. He will never bo a demagogue or a democrat- Yes, the republicans have bagged all tho game this time. What ought they to do under the circumstances? We should remem ber that with great privileges and op portunities come great.responsibilities. We believe the party possesses enough honesty, integrity and common sense to discharge faithfully the great trust im posed upon it. Mr. Chas. Hamper Owosso, Mich. Dear Sir: As your business is to get people into and out of trouble, suppose you consider their paint; it makes 'em almost as much trouble as money, ex cept of course matrimony. , They buy poor paint a good deal; they den't mean to; they don't know any better; they buy without thinking. Bad paint isn't good. It looks good enough for a year; then begins to get rusty; but changes so slowly, one don't notice it. .Looking isn't all. The business of paint is to keep a house dry inside, the wood and iron of it; keep it from rot ting and rusting. Takes good paint to do it Good and bad paint are sold at one price or about that. One can't go by the price at all; as with lawyers, the price has nothing to do with goodness or badness; and costs are worse yet; the painter and sheriff come-in for their share. But the probability is that a man, who paints Devoe, will come-out on top. Yours trulyj ' F. W. Devoe & Co New York and Chicago P. S. II. W. Mann Bella onr paint. Contributed. .

No' one however dreamed -of a majority for him exceed ing 12,000. The prediction had been freely made that it would run trom 8,000 to 10,000, but the voters of the district gave Mr. Fordney a magnificent endorsement by rolling up a total of 12, 203 votes for him over H.

Last week The Times called the at tention of its readers to what it termed "A Glorious Opportunity." Tne op portunity was the one then before the voters of the country to have ' a part in the) election of that most remarkable patriot and man, President Theddore Roosevelt, the opportunity to place themselves by that action ,in closer sympathy with the great principles for which he stands. The Times said tLat many years from now men would . be proud to say that they had voted for Theodore Roosevelt in the fall o'fio04 No one could then foresee the majes tic tidal wave of American ballots which was to sweep the country from east to west, from morning until after noon, everywhere with the name of ike matchless Roosevelt on its summit, the name of his opponent ever in its trough. uui io neip in raising a little higher the crest of that great wave! Who will deny now that it was a glorious privi lege? It would still have been a glorious opportunity had the outcome been diff erent, but to think, to even try to tjiink of the glory of it all when not merely two millions of American electors cast their ballots for President Roosevelt, but when nearly two millions more vot ed for him than voted for the demo- cratic candidate! Try to think of it if you can!' Not merely two million bal lots cast by two million American free men, but almost two million more votes than the total number received by his opponent! Two million plurality! It is indeed a grand thing to have tho privilege of voting for such a man as President Roosevelt, but it is even grander to know that his character end his work are appreciated by this im mense proportion of American citizens. Two millions plurality! Yes, and who can tell how many more honored and respected him in thoir hearts while not able to break from the party of their It Mrs. Maria A.

At a moment when it might have easily seemed a simplo thing to him to secure a renomination four years from now and a reelection for two full terms, he rises magnificently to the occasion and tells the . people that tho present part of a term which he is just finishing he regards as his "first term" and that under no circumstances can he accept or consider a nomination for ,what would bo under the interpretation ho puts on the matter a third term. Thus he enters upon a period of four years and four months, absolutely free tojdo what he believes right, with no tempta tionto yield in the slightest to any con sideration of policy or because of "the effect which any action might havV-on a renomination. - f , ' V ' But the election! . Its results beggar the ordinary language pf the editorial writer. Had it been an election decid ed bya few thousands, a few hundred of thousands even, thero would .'hav$ ueen great . exultation. All (be pari papers ini. the country would have' la ishly poured out their bak in ' Igreat xe- jojeing over the ' viciprjr. " Tngteday's victory wis not for that kind ofcjejoic ing. It was toe stupenduous." It . was too vast. 'lUis hard to eyen attempt to comprehend it. The usual after-election effusiveness is nowhere to be seen. Even the republican leaders-themselves have not become able to grasp its im mensity' or Jhe deep feeling 'In the na tion's. bosom which made it a fact. But all rejoicing is not over the elec tion of the President. Here in the eighth congressional district of Michi gan we are rejoicing in the reelection of oqe of the. truest of patriots and one of the best loved congressmen who ever served a district, and a state, and the nation in the nation's congress, Honor able Joseph Warren Fordney.. And, too, we are rejoicing in his election by the magnificent majority of more than twelve thousand votes, and that in a district which until Congressman Ford ney first ran was considered either dem ocratic or at least doubtful! It was a splendid tribute to a splendid represen tative and a noble, manly character. In the state, too, we have reason to be proud of the showing made by our farmer-cheesemaker candidate for gov ernor, Honorable Fred M. Warner. Patriotic, sincere, manly and self-reliant, but modest and unassuming, and tied by obligations to no man or set of men, Fred M. Warner made a run of which he has ample reason to be proud and the republican party in Mighigan is proud of him. It was no disgrace to him that his majority was less than that of the President. President Roosevelt had absolutely no opposition in Michi gan and ho had all the opposition1" the democratic party could put up. The democrats did absolutely nothing to help Parker and did everything in their power to help Ferris. It wqs tho entire Michigan democracy against Warner, and still he won, by the magnificent plurality of almost 53,000 votes. It would have been strunge indeed if with all their strength centered on Ferris the Michigan democracy could not have kept some of its Roosevelt-voting num bers from voting for Warner also. To a greater extent this same reason ing applies to the county ticket. Our candidates for the state senate and houseof representatives were reelected by good majorities. Senator Cook was reelected by a most complimentary majority. His constituents know and respect him and know what to expect of him. Representative Ward found no crUicism against his official, acts and will be' able to do fetter work even than- ; he did twoyeaVs. ago.-: In the county proper all the repbjan officials who '. -f were ug for reelection were return ed to ' f tjielr duties by splendid" majorities.

But there is little needv in this glorious week of stopping to feel badly about one county office. The election of the fall of 1904 will, go dowii in history as one of the grandest vindictaions of the ability of a great mass of people to reward high virtues ' in public office that the world has- ever4 -.' witnessed. The election of President ; , Roosevelt by the wonderful ma jority-f- , 343 .to 133 - electoral votes given him will bo the beginning of a new epoch in American history and long may he live to see the. advance of the new epoch and to aid in guiding and advising those who will follow him in directing the affairs of tho nation in its new career! And long may the memory of tlje elec- -tion be an inspiration to the millions , who voted for Roosevelt' in 1004, and to their .son's!
