HELP BUILD THE HALL.

HELP BUILD THE HALL.
In another column Mr.. Paul Il.
Werner tells Akron people how they
can help obtain for their city the
advantage of large public hall,
suitable as place for holding con-
ventions and mass meetings.
The DEMOCRAT believes that every
citizen appreciates how Akron has
suffered of late years Tor want Of such
hall, and how great are the benefits
that would result to city from Its
construction-placing Akron upon
an equality with other cities that
derive both pleasure and profit from
their ability to entertain great con-
ventions.
The new structure is to be known
as Akron's Assembly hall. Akron's
leading citizens will be called upon
next week and thereafter by a rep
resentative of the project, who will
invite them to subscribe to the fund
for building the hall.
The payments are to be made SO
moderate and convenient that the
success of the undertaking is as
sured.
SPEAKING of Germany's Samoan
interests yesterday. Emperor VIII
liam said:
"This land, however. is now ours
and will remain ours as long as there
is a German empire. The German
eagle is gradually spreading itself
and increasing the feet destined to
protect our brothers abroad" i
Such speech comes from real
emperor, and was to have been ex-
pected in the course of true imper-
ialism. But the Kaiser's utterances |
sink to more than mildness in con-
trast with some of the vainglorious
utterances of the President Of the |
United States, while bidding recently
for popular acquiescence In his war.
What has the future in store when
America, a Republic,-founded on
principles of justice, equality and
government by consent of the gov
erned-becomes more imperial than
Germany?
THE Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union has adopted the fol-
lowing resolution: 1--WE deeply
deplore the attitude taken by our
nation with respect to the Philip
pine islands; and since governments
can derive there just powers only
from the consent of the governed, We
protest against the policy which
would compel a foreign people to
submit to the rule of the United
States, and against the war through
which the Administration is trying
to force its policy" OF course the
members of the w. G. T. U. will be
accused of treason by the Admin
istration shouiers.
THE nominal editor quoted statis-
tics last night to prove that the
Democratic party is dead beyond
hope of resurrection. The 500 or
more trusts will please take notice.
What's the use contributing millions
of dollars to the Hanna campaign
fund for the purpose of fighting a
dead enemy?
GREAT BRITAIN's attempt to
crush the South African Republic |
calls forth some fearless criticism |
from DR.. Francis T. Moran in this |
issue of the DEMOCRAT. His able |
article will interest all our readers
THE latest application of sixteen to
one is when the trusts collect sixteen
dollars from the people for each dol
lar contributed to the Administra
tion party's campaign fund.
THE combined capitalization of |
trusts formed during the week just |
ended is only $63, 100000. Trusts are
good things-for the Hanna campaign |
fund. Help them along.
