Johnston Street Improvement
to Begin at Once.
Herring & Son Will de- the Work
Council Proceedings.

There will be no more fast rides on
Akron street cars within the city
limits.
Not to be run at a greater speed
than l2 miles an hour" stated the
ordinance passed at City Council
meeting Monday night. 1t is also
stated that the ordinance will be en-
forced to the letter.
At Council meeting two
weeks ago the ordinance passed
second reading, when it was tabled
until the meeting week ago. The
| matter was then continued to Mon
day nights meeting, when it. was
placed on its final passage.

B. Herring & Son, s6,757.72; P. L.
McCourt, s7.2l2.92; j., Wildes &
Sons, s6,92O.4S. While the lowest
bid has not been formally accepted,
nor will it be for some time yet,
Herring & Son, by reason of theirs
being the lowest bid, presuming that
they will be awarded the contract
are willing to go ahead with the
work, providing Council would give
an expression of willingness to
stand by them. This expression was
given by Council, and the work will
be commenced at once. Another
formality, that of there not being
sufficient money in the treasury te
cover the improvements was in
like manner dispensed with.
PeddIers' License.
Mr.. Brady made motion that the
present license relating to peddler'

matter will likely he considered
later.

"Ev<n this did not fully satisfy me

suggested to him that he should, at
his first opportunity, present his

paign by abusing him. 1t charges
that he has no political influence
ANYHOW. and that the local Republi-
can Machine ought to pay no atten-
tion to him. 1t will be difficult to
convince Charley Hatch, defeated
candidate for County Commissioner,
and Wash Johnston, who ran 3oO
votes behind his ticket last fall, that
Squire Hall and lis independent
Republican following are without in
fiuence if they choose to make 1t
manifest.
For the past two months of the
fiscal year the government has spent
the enormous sum of Sl03, 100000, OF
which all but $21 ,000, 900 was for war
like expenses. OF this amount $34,-
262 ,GSO.O6 went to the army, $685.
245.4O to the navy; $26 6,055, ,674.SO for
pensions, and S9,l53, ,S45.39 for inter-
est on the war debt, the expenses
being at the rate of nearly $5OO,OOO,-
600 a wear. This means that of the
vast amount of taxes collected from
the American people by the federal
government, about 80 per cent. are to
provide for the military expenses.
At this rate a great deal of trade will
have to follow the flag if the people
are to be remunerated for the onerous
burden of taxation which the Ad-
ministration's trust favoring schemes
of conquest have thrust upon them.
In another column Judge G. r.
Grant dissects one of the careless
and misleading statements which
appeared in the Beacon last week
purporting to be a defense of the
Administrations policy of Imperial
ism. The Beacon told of a postal
card vote taken fright where the
Atkinsonian 'aunties' were strong
est and tried to show that the result
was overwhelmingly" against the
views supposed to be held by the
ssaunties.'' In this connection Judge
Grant puts forward an array of facts
and figures which will make very
interesting reading for those wht
accepted the Beacon's conclusion
without suspicion of their unworthi
ness. He shows what side the farmer
of America are taking on the question
of Imperialism VS.. Republicanism
