"a person shall not be considered to
have lost his residence who leaves his
home and goes into another state, OF

1t will be worth the while of the
tax payers of Akron to turn moment
from the consideration of issues in
volvel in the National political contest
to some of the local conditions affect
ing their interests as taxpayers. The
Council report published in today's
Democrat is full Of meat for the tax
payers, particularly as it refers to the
extortionate charge made by Sheriff
Kelly for opening the jail doors to let
prisoners In and out; the discrimina.
tion that was made against local hard
ware leaders, to the detriment of the
taxpayers, when Commissioner Nc
Millen purchased large number of
riot guns through out OF town dealers
at price several dollars more per gun
than an Akron firm agreed to furnish
the same guns for, and the manner in
which the people are being held up
by the fire engine trust, compelling them
to pay the price arbitrarily charged
by the trust, with no opportunity for
competition.

NOT IMAGINERY.
A Common Disease Which Is by No Means
the Result OF Imagination.

Undoubtedly many nervous people
suffer from troubles purely imaginary;
diseases which exist only In the mind
of the patient, and such troubles FUR
nish II fertile field for the quack as
well as for faith healers and Christian
Science treatment.
However, there Is one common and
annoying disease which is in no sense
of the word imaginary, and that is,
Piles.
Pile sufferers do not need a physician
to tell them what is the matter; there
is no abscurity about 1t. Neither Will
simple lotion or ointment cure 1t.
You cannot deceive pile sufferer into
believing he Is being cured, because
the pain and itching from which he
suffers Is not imaginary and cannot
be cured by imagination. A pile rem
edy must have unmistakable merit, 1t
must relieve the pain and cure the dis
ease speedily or it will be condemned.

One Of the articles of the President S
treaty with the Sultan of Sulu is to the
effect that the Sultan's subjects shall
not be interfcred with on account of
their religion" 1t is n part of the re-
ligion OF these people that the more
Christians they butcher the greater
will be their reward and glory in the
kingdom to come. Unless appearances
are deceivlng the Boxers of China
have something of the same religion
In the event America undertakes the
conquest of China, as has been done
in the Philippines, trouble might be
saved by making treaty with. the
Boxers guaranteeing them freedom
and protection in their peculiar in,
stltutions.' Such treaty would be
no more shocking TO the moral sense
of the world or more repugnant to
American institutions than that nogo
tiatcd with the Sultan of Sulu.

1t requires 75 per cent more grain
to buy hoe, rake or shovel than

A set of common wheels that cost

The price Of cultivators and other

portionately.
Galvanized barb wire costs from $4

1t requires 40 per cent more corn or
cotton to buy n pound of sugar than

Freight rates have climbed back to
the exorbitant prices which caused a

The prices of oil, coal, lumber, tools

Speaking OF "open door policies"
the thrifty Sheriff Kelly has one that
beats them all.
II works both ways.
The Sheriff last night presented a
bill for Sill to the City Council as his
fees for taking prisoners In and out of
the jail.
For instance, when prisoners are
taken out Of the jail to work out their
fines on Akron streets or for other pur-
poses, the Sheriff has charged the
taxpayers of Akron 80 cents per head
for each prisoner.
The same charge is made per head
for opening the Jail doors to let the
prisoners back into the jail when they
return.
This is the open door policy that
IN less than month OF operation
enabled the Sheriff to present bill
of Sill for the taxpayers of Akron to
pay,--a policy that enables the Sheriff
10 get the 80 cents both coming and
going.
II is 10 the credit Of the Council that
the bill was held up for investigation
1t may be that the law confers tho
technical right upon the Sheriff tc
make this charge, but In view OF the

A VITAL QUESTION.

| Article III of the treaty negotiated
with the Sultan Of Sulu and confirmed
by President Mckinley, reads:
"The rights and dignities OF His
Hghness, the Sultan, and his Datos,
shall be fully respected; the Moros
shall not be interfered with on account
of their religion; all their religious
customs shall be respected"
BY this article titles of nobility are
recognized by the American Republic,
provides that no titles Of nobility shall
he granted by the United States; the
religion Of the Sulus is Mohammed-
anism, Of which polygamy is n vital
part.
The effect of this article is therefore
to guarantee that our government
shall not interfere nor permit interfer-
cncc with polygamy in part Of It's
own territory. The right to hold slaves
lis also a tenet of the Mohammedan
religion, and thus Uncle Sam recog-
nizes slavery along with it's twin
evil" polygamy.
Article X of the treaty specifically
recognizes slavery, and slavery of n
kind which was defined by the Hon.
IJames NJ. Robinson in Congress as
that whereby 'the holders have the
fright of life and death over their slaves
and the monarch has the right to take
the life of his subjects whenever he
chooses"
And this contract was signed by
President Mckinley in open violation
of the constitution which he solemnly
swore to uphold in its entirety. 1t
is by the usurpation of authority for.
eign to that conferred by the constltu
ition that the American flag floats over
the throne Of despot, in protection Of
his institutions of monarchy, polyg-
amy and slavery. Beneath It flies the
flag of the Sultan.
What will the American people say
10 this when next they come to vote?
WIN they follow the example set by
Gov. Pingree and Mr.. Carnegie-that
is, hold their noses and vote to endorse
, the Administration? VIII they think
more OF the man than of the consti-
tuition and the nations cherished In.

To vote to endorse the Administra.
tion Is TO endorse the policy that has
caused the American dag to ioat In
protectorate over the throne Of des'
pot, with his institutions of concubin.
age, polygamy and slavery.
Remember that vote for the Ad'
minstration is a vote to maintain the
Stars and Stripes over the harem OF
the Sultan of Sulu, In violation OF
every principle of Amerlcanlsm, vote
to repudiate the constitution and the
, Declaration of Independence, and to
express dissatisfaction with Amerl

The Republican State Executive
committee expects to send Gov. Roose-

platform of the train. He will 60 from
this city to Canton, where he will
make another brief stop. President
Mckinley is said to approve the plan.
Roosevelt is scheduled to leave Ohio
for a tour of West Virginia ON October

that State, at noon that day. The
committee is now holding telegraphic
communication with the Wheeling

task for this noble and generous trait
is not recorded. However, the story
is what would have been had he been
officially waited on as the story says.
The story follows:
When "Bob" Taylor was governor Of
Tennessee he was noted for being as

way he pardoned out convicts was
something awful. He was waited up
on by a committee Of the Legislature
who fatty and in no uncertain way told

More government clerks will go home
to vote this year than have done 80
since the days when Zach Chandler
bossed the republican machine and
made Thorn do as he pleased. Clerks
will register and vote who have not
done so for 90 years or more. Every
government clerk residing in state
considered any ways close has received
circular letter from the republican
bosses of his state, telling him that if
he fails to register and vote, his name
will be handed to the republican state
committee, which is merely another
way of telling him that if he fails to
vote, he will lose his job. The heads
of the government departments are do.
ing their part to help along the exodus
of voters, at the expense Of the tax
payers of the country, by allowing it to
be known that the clerks will be paid
for the time lost in going home TO reg.
lister and vote, and will not have the
time deducted from their annual leave.
