Among the many young mon of Mich
igan, ho during the t decade bave
pushed to the frvnt, In the gieat ro
prowtlve march, none deterve greater
comnicndatli-n for well earned popular
ity, than William S. Linton, who wa
'born In St, Clair, Mich., February 4, j
185ft, and U consequently a natural pro
duct of the 'Wolverine tate." and one
of which she In justly proud. He cornea
from good stock, being a lineal depend
ent of John Linton, who was born In
Yorkshire, England, educated atOxford
college, and afterwards became a warm
friend and admirer of William Penn.
John Linton and bis wife, Relmcca Keif,
landed In Philadelphia November 8,
1692, just ten years after Penn's first
visit to his colonly and were the pro
genitor of a line of dependents who
for the past 200 years have lived In
America. The best known member of
the family to day Is Elizabeth Linton's
ton, Hon. Benjamin Buttorworth, for
years Cincinnati's well known congress
man, and who declined a renomtnatlon
In order to become the secretary of the
World's Columbian exjwultlon at Chi
cago. In the boyhood days of William S.
Linton his parents removed to the Sag
inaw valley and settled on the west side
of the river, afterwards building a res
idence on the cat side.
Here the boyhood of William S. Lin
ton was passed. His educational ad
vantages were confined to the city
schools, which, however, were from the
very Inception of Saginaw, of a sujr
lor character, a fact shaking loudly In
favor of the liberal Ideas of the pioneers
of this city.
While still In his teens, Mr. Linton
began life as a clerk in a general store,
where he was early Imbued with ideas
and experience which served to make
him a successful business man. His
father was at this time engaged in the
lumber business In the village of Far-
well, Mich., and having there a saw
mill, young Linton was placed in charge
of the same and.provedjably successful
in the management of the business.
Fire destroyed the plant and Mr. Linton
tnen became'ior a time a member or a
firm dealing In lumber at Jonesvllle,
Mich., and afterwards engaged as book'
keeper with leading lumbermen In Sag'
lnw, following which be was occupied
In scaling logsj.during the winters in
(he lumber woods, and in summer in.
spec ted lumber at the saw mills along
the Saginaw river. When 21 years of
age his energy served to arrest the at
tent Ion of a prominent lumberman at
that time extensively operating in Ros
common, Gladwin and Bay counties and
hipping lumber from Wells, Bay
county, now Alger, Arena county. In
charge of this department of business
he was placed. Here, while at Alger,
he had his first taste of political prefer
ment, having been twice elected sup
ervisor of the township, before reaching
his twenty-third year. As a business
man he also continued to grow In favor,
till he was finally promoted to the gen
eral superintendence of the extensive
plant at Alger, at that time represent
ing an immense investment.
In 1878 he resigned this place and re
turned to Saginaw where he entered
into partnership with his father and
brother in lumber manufacturing,under
the firm name of Aaron Linton & Sons.
In 1883 W.iS. Linton was elected alder
man of his ward and was the youngest
member of the common council, and
while being a man of few words he
could always arrest and chain attention
by a terse, sensible method o? present
ing his points.
In 1886 he was chosen representative
to the state legislature, being the ouly
Republican elected on the Saginaw
ticket in th legislature. His record Is a
highly honorable one. Among the
bills which he Introduced and with
which his name is strongly Identified,
may be mentioned the bill for the in
corporation and regulation of building
and loan associations, and under which
wise and provident act nearly every
town and. .'city in the state has today
one or more of these associations. In
his own city Mr. Linton was for three
1
1
years president of the Ptople's Ilui d
Ing and L"n aoe!atlon, the largest
and strongest financially of any In the
Ute, and during 19 was president of
the SUlelxafue of Building and Laa
association. In 17 while In the full
tide of prosperity fire destroyed hi
mill, which within an hour lay a heap
of moklng ruin. KefuMrig all ait
anee (liberally tendered of a pecuniary
character, they at once began to re
build and were again soon In running
order, aod In better form than ln-fore.
The business was fina ly merged Into
the present extensive concern.
Mr. Llnum's political party fully
recognized his ability, and the Repub
lican convention of 1SIK) gave him the
nomination for lieutenant governor.
The lVmocratle success of that fall
ection, of course Involved the defeat
of the Republican state candidates, bit
Mr. Linton bad the honor of running
many thousand votes ahead of his
ticket. He la extensively Interested
and holdsmembenihlplnthe A. F. & A.
M , Knights of Pythias, K. O. T. M., I.
O. O. F. and A. O. U. W. In some of
these he has held Important positions
and was for two terms unanimously
elected great commander of the
Knight of the Maccabees, the largest
fraternal order In Michigan, during
which time the order attained its larg
est growth and great proerlty. In
the charter election of 1892, he had for
an opponent, for the mayorality of the
city, a most jnipular gentleman, who
had been previously twice elected
mayor by large majorities. When the
ballots were counted, at the close of one
of the most exciting elections ever hold
In Saginaw, It was found that Mr. Lin
ton had a majority of 1657. This, in a
city like Saginaw, where the party op
posed to Mr. Linton politically for
many year has rolled up great ma
jorities Is a testimonial of the esteem
In which he, as a man and citizen, is
held, apart from all political biasing or
proclivities.
Mayjr Linton was also for a time
president of the Saginaw board of water
commissioners.
Mr. Linton was elected to the 53rd
congress by a plurality of 1525 votes
over his opponent, who was a candidate
of the Democratic party and at the
same time endorsed by a branch of the
Populist party.
Mr. Linton in congress has worked
earnestly for his constituents. As a
chairman of the committee on fraternal
press he secured the passage of a meas
ure in connection with the post office
appropriation bill granting the privi
lege of Becond ulaas matter to fraternal
and labor journals, He has letters
from Samuel Gompors, a well known
labor leader; M. W. Sackett, supreme
recortior of the A. 0. U. W., and many
other well-known men connected with
the great fraternities of the country
thanking him for his work in this di
rection. He also secured the passage
of a bill which 'ailed In the precadlng
congress returning to the city of Sagi
naw valuable land which had been
given by the city to the government.
Upon his request the committee on
rivers and harbors caused to be placed
In the River and Harbor appropriation
bill not only a sum for the improvement
of the Saginaw river but also directed
a preliminary survey to be made o the
Shiawassee, Flint, Bad and Tittabtwas
see river to ascertain the extent to
which tney could be made navigable.
The improvement of these streams will
add largely to the facilities for com
merce and trade and would not only as
sist In reclaiming a vast amount of ter
ritory but will cause to be opened up
the immense coal field j In the southern
part of Saginaw county and at the same
time assist in the transportation of
farm products from territory In the
vicinity of the rivers named. Mr. Lin
ton believed that certain appropr a
tions carried in the Indian appropria
tion bill werejnot endorsed by the peo
ple of this country, and made a speech
In opposition which created the great
est interest and it has circulated to a
greater extent throughout the United
States than any other speech delivered
during this session of congress. Fol
lowing its delivery came such emphatic
opposition from all over the land
against the class of appropriations re
ferred to that the Indian bureau has
decided to abandon the policy which
they have followed for so many years,
and hereafter the Indians are to be
taught in government schools rounded
upon the plan of our public school sys
tem. The requests of veterans for atten
tion to pensions and the many calls of
constituents for assistance In matters
connected with public affairs have all
been promptly attended to by Mr. Lin
ton in a way that has undoubtedly been
perfectly satisfactory.
Thus it wiii be seen for a new con
gressman Mr. Linton has made a record
during his first term second to none.
He was nominated for congress by
the last Republican convention by ac
clamation and was returned by a largely
increased majority.

The Nations Moot DangeruuM Foe
It is strange that Protestant business
men, politi jlans and even ministers will
not open thei- eye to the dangers men
acing this nation at the hands of Ro
manism. The xiiitlcal aspect of the
case alone should cause all Protestant
citizens to unite against the most dan
gerous foe the nation has ever had to
contend against a foe dangerous to
liberty .and progress. An exchange
say that if the world was ever in need
Protestantism it Is at the present
time. Romanism has been tried for the
past eighteen hundred years, and what
has been the example taught! Bigotry,
tynanny, Ignorance, superstition; rebel
lion and Immorality.
On the other hand, Protestantism
has been established for the past three
hundred and fifty years, and what a
glorious example it has taught to man
kind. If the Protestant religion has
not been the means of elevating man
kind, why is it our most prosperous
countries are Protestant, and how Is it
it can command In so short a time a
following of 110,000,000 while the Ro-'
manlsts at the end of eighteen hundred
years have only 191,000,000 followers.
We have of late heard considerable
from Romish sources about the failure
of Protistantism. But if statistics count
for anything we know that Protestant
ism is not the failure Romanism would
have us believe it is.
Let us see what Romish teachings
have done for the world. Throughout
certain parts of Europe and America
the Romish church cannot say that it
has been beneficial to the masses, for
reports at hand show that In the strong
est Romish countries Its teachings have
produced atheism, anarchy, tyranny,
ignorance, rebellion and Immorality.
Can Romanism point to France, Italy,
Spain, Mexico, Central and South
America with pride, and say, see the
beneficial effect of our teachings; our
members are intelligent and law abid
ing citizens. No! She cannot say bo
truthfully. But Protestantism can
point with prldo to its strongest coun
tries. Denver American.
