A quarterly dividend of twenty mil
lions of dollars for the Standard Oil
Company, and nearly forty-two million
profits for one member OF the steel

Hardly day goes by but the Ad-
ministration editors bring out the
name OF somebody whom they claim
will be appointed Attorney General, in
the event of Mr.. Bryan's election.
Just now some of the editors arc
naming Mr.. Monnett, OF Ohio. This
suggestion, IL true would not frighten
the people. One thing may be de-
pended upon; Mr.. Bryan Will not

@ BY REPRESENTATIVE CLERGYMEN ~ e.:

We, the undersigned ministers of
religion, declare our deep conviction
that the war against the Filipinos is
not right. We regard it as n war Of
conquest and directly within Mr.. Nc
Kinley's definition of criminal ag-
gression."
We refuse to accept the undemocratic
conclusion that, because the Ameri,
can people can by might govern colon
les, they ought to do so. We deny
that either the President or Congress
may rightfully, govern any man any
where outside the protecting restraints
of the Constitution. We agree with
Benjamin Franklin that neither the
obtaining nor the retaining Of any
trade, is an object for which men
may justly shed each others blood"
We feel bound to withhold our ap-
proval of the immoral use of the
public authority even to accomplish
an assumed moral end.
We hold that what is immoral for
men TO do acting singly is immoral
for them to do acting collectively as
n nation. Each step in course of
action must be moral il the deed is
not to be tainted with immortality
No end can justify immoral means to
secure 1t. 1t is too late to maintain
the doctrine that in the sacred name
of religion we may kill some men in
order to convert those who survive.
Love, not force, was the weapon of
the Nazarene; sacrifice for others, not
exploitation of them, was His method
of reaching the human heart"
We desire to see America exercise
her influence as a "world power" in
n new rather than in the old way
We view with grave apprehension the
tendancy TO make her what other
nations are. We desire to see her be

Republican as we'll as the Democratic
organization IL is unnecessary TO chal-
lenge their accuracy as applied to the
Democrats in this campaign.
The fact is that the citizens of Ak
ron are intensely interested in the
questions that are to be decided by
them next Tuesday. and no politician,
Democrat or Republican, can estl'
mate with certainty the relative de-
gree of support that win be given to
Mr.. Byran and Mckinley.
This interest upon the part of the
voters generally is shown by the re-

politician ''knows" how next Tues
days election will result.
When the outward evidences of in
terest and enthusiasm are so evident
upon both sides, as has been true Of
this campaign; when an even greater
degree of interest is indicated by the
general qualification Of the electors
to vote, and when the SILENT or
doubtful vote is manifestly so large.
predictions and polls are alike superb
cial and inaccurate, and none but
the thoughtless will be influenced by
them.
No man will know the results of
the election, national, state or local,
until the votes are counted.

forms of extravagance, and 1t is
due largely to his watchfulness of the
taxpayers interests that the funds are
in as good condition as they are at
present. A vote for Mr.. Fillius means
a vote for n continuance of the eco
nomical administration of the county
affairs. 1t Is always good policy for
the taxpayers to give both parties n
representation upon the Board OF
County Commissioners.

ton and while there Ii. no pretense that
it will equal the spontaneity and mag
nitude of the Byran meeting, we have
no doubt that it will show Mr.. Nc
Kinley's Akron supporters to be wide
awake.
In view of these conditions, it is
folly for any politician to charge that
the forces allied with either side to the
contest are disorganized, apathetic, or
Indifferent to the obligations which
the election imposes upon them as

Since the Civil War.

II was not until President Lincoln's
time that the custom Of issuing a
Thanksgiving day proclamation by the
President Of the United States was inau-
gurated, although on two previous occa'
sions of special character proclama-
tons had been issued. The circumstances
under which Lincoln's first proclamation
was made were in a sense fully as mo-
mentous as were those under which that
Of Gov. Bradford was issued.
Wearied with internecine strife, the
American nation, which had sprung from
a handful Of colonists at that early period
Of its history to a nation powerful enough
10 put 2,OU,OOO troops in the field, was
about TO end the most painful and bitter
war Of all history. The conflict was not
quite over, but the result was foregone

South was unable TO further prolong IL.
and the feeling Of JOY at this fact was
almost indescribable. 1t was. therefore,

ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING DAY.
Why American People Observe the
Custom with euch Ferv0r.


Far back In 1881, when our great coun.
try was but a tiny baby In Its English
koa clothes, It happened that there was
q great scarcity OF food and the little col.
ony settled on Massachusetts bay found
themselves threatened with a famine.
The prospect grew darker and darker,
the hearts Of the people, brave a. they
were. were filed with anxiety, and they
knew not which way to turn. Finally,
feeling that God alone could help them,
a special day was appointed for fasting
and prayer. But before II came the long
expected boat containing an abundance
OF provisions made Its appearances and
the day OF fasting and prayer was trans.
formed into one Of good dinners and
hearty thanksgiving.
This IL the first general Thanksgiving
Of which We have any record, but by no
successive governors and presidents have
set apart many: different days for special
thanksgiving for some propitious event
In State Or'cOuntfy.' After the Revolu.
| tionary War was successfully ended
Washington appointed one which was
universally observed with the greatest
rejoicing, as we may we'll believe, and af.
ter our own sad war OF the rebellion wds
nearly over, President Lincoln proclaim
cd another, and though many hearts were
full Of sorrow there was great deal to
be thankful for.
For more than 100 years the States OF
New England have set apart day In
the autumn for giving thanks to God fol
| the many blessings of the year. Ii grad
