The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1892-03-03

Ii was only three brief days ago that our
overworked reporter of the W. Il. &. con
graduated himself that the rush OF W. X.
q. events was past, and that gentle
peace, like sweet benediction, had once
more settled upon our robust community.
But alas for the mutahility Of ali purely
human expectations. Even in the days of
Plato, this wisest Of philosophers con-
fessed that even the heavens aud the
frame Of the corporeal world were subject
to mutability. 1t 10 even more so with the
W. II. G. OF modern Canton. No sooner
has the case of Rooms vs. Clark, with "a
pages of legal fools-cap, been sent by ex
press TO Delevan, Ills, the official home of
the great High Muckuy OF the W. Il. c.,
than in comes the case Of Clark VS. Rooms
TO vex us anew.
Here let us remark that on the 25th day
of February, 1892, Mrs. Emma +.
hoons, with the aid of three able
bodied Canton lawyers, succeeded in
getting the celebrated case Of koons VS..
Clark out of our municipal corporation.
II went securely sealed, by express, and
the papers weighed pounds, 8 ounces all
OF solid W. II. T.. rHntankCrous matter, to
which the official fist Of President Mary
McQuiston, president, (of fXenia) was duly
attached, with some official remarks which
seemed to greatly please Mrs, Rooms.
This case therefore 10 out of the wAy
hence we return to our mutton in hand,
same color, but pulling IN opposite uirec-
tions, with the belly bands mighty tight,
and with no breeChng. This expression
is somewhat horsey, but in the rush and
hurry OF reportOrial work l.,' car'; i,,,l
70 look up classical figures .rour & Giu
and musty past.
But while we are digress. G wr rp,y
hope for pardon II we very Grrt,4lr r,f
to a new racket which Mrs. Adl . .,ru
has stirred up Ia Columbus, 'u1' ha- ,lsU
gone into the capacious bu,.,U drawers
OF President MCQuiston's vUrieFated c -
met of troubles in Nenia,
THE COLUMBUS RACEEr.
The following letter from a woman way
up TO G, on W. X. z. matters explains
itself:
COLUMBUS. O., Feb. %, 1892.
My DEAR SISTER: There was greet in
dignatiOn here because Mrs. Clarke tried
to make it appear that Mrs. Bancroft
charged for a room in her house in the
same sense Mrs. Clarke did. Now the
truth is thai Mrs, Bancroft gave up the
fine wing OF her house, with side en-
trance, for real headquarters, W. Il. c.,
where the secretary and treasurer did
their work daily. She included her tele-
phapP service 10 the rental, which barely
:, versd EXPENSES OF heating, lighting and
service and did not charge hundred dol
lars extra either. Mrs Clarke is now in
deep trouble here. Her rulings as Coun.
selor have set Wells Corps of this city by
the ears and from ali we can learn Can
ton Corps has been suffering from SINH
lar attack.
An appeal has been taken TO the Ma
tionaI President, in the Wells Corps from
her erroneous rulings that private letter
from q corps member should be treated
as an official letter and read TO the corps.
And yet in forwarding that very decision
Mrs. Clarke ignored the proper channels
and instead of passing her opinion to the
Corps President through Department
President McQuistou, mailed il direct to
the Corps President. Iu this letter she
had great deal TO say about her dignity
and the dignity of her office but nothing
at all about the indignity she was heaping
upon post officers Of Wells Corps. Even
that lovely woman, Past President Mary
Z. Bancroft has been made TO suffer from
her irregular and highhanded methods in
trying to play both president and coun.
selor in one. We hope Mrs. Rooms will
stand by her guns and demand justice and
the fair treatment which she is likely TO
get from the national officers.
Yours in +. c. & L.
