RIGHT OF WAY
For New Suburban Line Has Been
Obtained.

The recent purchase of the Alli-
ance street railway by Dudley B.
Wick of this city is likely to result
in the connection of this city with
Canton and Alliance by an electric
railway system, via Akron, says the
Plain Dealer. Pittsburg capitalists
have practically obtained the entire
right of way between Alliance and
Canton. and eastern capitalists are
agitating the project for a road from
Canton to Akron. The people along
this line are willing TO grant almost
any concession to obtain the service.

LET BE THOROUGH.

1t may be doubted if interest in
local public school affairs has ever
been so aroused as at this time.
When the School Board voted
unanimously to inquire Unto the
conducting and management of the
public schools, - it brought matters to
crisis, the result of which will be
anxiously awaited by the people.
More than a year ago the Demo-
GRAFT called attention to what seemed
to be an organized and persistent
attempt at discrimination against
resident teachers, both as regarded
employment and opportunities.
The DEMOCRAT charged, and not
without the appreciation of men who
had given the best years of their
lives to the upbuilding of the schools,
that double standard of qualifica-
tion had been adopted as the test of
admitting teachers to employment
in the schools. One standard applied
to nonresident teachers; the other
to resident teachers. The DEMOCRAT
showed that the obligation imposed
upon the home teachers as condi-
ton of employment was in many
respects much more eXacting and
burdensome than that upon teachers
from abroad.
And by many citizens the charge
was publicly made, but with what
justification the DEMOCRAT does not
know, that petty spite and jealousy
on the part of those in close touch
with the appointing power were
frequently the cause of home teach
ers, of acknowledged efficiency in
school work, being displaced
from the roll of teachers by those
from abroad.
But as these charges Were made in
the heat of a campaign, at time
when partisanism warped the judg-
ment of the people, they were re-
garded for the most part as mere
political bunbombe, and those
concerned in making them were
charged with trying to drag politics
into the public schools.
Now that the School Board has
resolved to locate the cause of
trouble, and, if need be, apply the
proper remedy, no matter how
drastic remedy the eXfgencies of the
case may require, it should be given
united popular support.
No one should be prejudged, and
everybody concerned should be given
a fair and impartial hearing. But
the best interests of the schools
demand that the investigation shall
be thorough enough to satisfy all
fair-minded people whether the
obstinate complaints concerning
local school management - COM
plants that have been gathering
force for the last year-are only idle
gossip or the truth.

DIRECTORS
Discussed Plans For a
Consolidation.
Facilities of the Service Will be In
Better Shape.


A meeting between the directors of
the Akron Traction & Electric Co.
and the directors of the A, B. d c..
Co. was held in Cleveland Friday.
The object of the meeting was to
discuss the matter of consolidating
the two companies. While this was
but preliminary meeting it is stated
upon good authority that such a
deal will be consummated within a
short time.
With this consolidation the facili-
ties of the service will be in better
shape and the work done to better
advantage. The city is covered with
about 20 miles of track by the Akron
Traction & Electric Co.. and the A.
B. & c., running between here and
Cleveland, a distance of 35 miles,
will give the service about % miles
of road. New cars will be put on
and the work of building extension
to the line will be pushed as rapidly
as is warranted by increase in the
company's patronage.
The name under which the con-
solidated company will be organized
has not vet been decided upon.

MANILA, May 26.-The Filipino COM
missioners left here by special train
They will be escorted TO their lines
under Il flag of truce. 1t is expected
they will return soon.
President Gonzaga of the Philippine
commission, previous TO his departure,
sald:
"We greatly appreciate the courtesy
shown us. We have spent some time
with your commissioners, incidentally
considering the American constitution.
It's principles impress us profoundly.
1.-The plan of government offered the
Philippines seems, in theory, a good
colonial system. But why should a
ration with Your constitution seek to
make colony of distant people who
have been so long fighting againt Spain
TO secure the same rights your constitu-
ton gives? You fought the same bat
tie in America when you fought against
England"
In the figh1ing at San Fernando
Wednesday 80 Filipinos were killed and
many were wounded. The Americans
had two men killed and II wounded.

They have been muzzled. The criti-

THE c., A. & C.
To Be Operated by the
Penn. Company
Within go Days---Heayier Rails.
FLYERS.

1t emanates from official sources
that the Pennsylvania company will
be operating the Cleveland, Akron &
Columbus within the next 60 days,
says the Leader. 1t was at first
| thought that the first named road
would assume charge of the latter by
the first of June. but there seems to
be something in the way of'a i'm
mediate absorption. That the road
will be Under the control Of the
Pennsylvania within two months
seems fixed beyond doubt.
When the Pennsylvania gets hold
of the property it will Immediately
commence to operate it on the same
general principle that
Governs Its Actions
toward the other properties which
are under its control. Some of the
plans that have leaked out dispel
any doubt as to the intention of the
Pennsylvania TO control the c.. A. &
c. absolutely.
1t is said that one of the first
things done will be to take up the
old rails between Hudson and Co.
lumbus and relay the track with the
ninety-five pound steel rails, which
are standard with the Pennsylvania
lines. This will make an entirely
new roadbed, as the c., A. & c. peo-
pie have just completed, the work of
reballasting the road and laying new
ties. Much of the unsteadiness in
the road heretofore has been due to
the light caliber of the rails.
There is another thing in the air
that will be interesting to the Big
-Four. 1t is said that as soon as the
conditions will permit the Pennsyl-
vania will put on
Fast Through Train
to Columbus, where it will connect |
with its flyer to Cincinnati. Here
tofore the Pennsylvania service be-
tween here and Columbus has been
slow. In the first place
it has had to accommodate its train
Akron & Columbus, and
hence could not expect,to make phe-
fast time.
