should the policemen object to being
called "animals?" That appellation is
a compliment compared with the
names Dobson has given to Akron
citizens generally, both Democrats and
Republicans, at various times within
the last eight years.

The Canton Council is wrestling with
an application filed by the Stark Tele-
phone Company independently for a
franchise. At the last meeting sever
al letters were read from subscribers
of independent companies In other cit
les. The Bell Company is making the
same fight against competition that
it did in Akron.
Among the letters received by the
Canton Council is one from the Akron
Grocery Company. 1t follows:
Akron, o., Oct. s, 1900.
The Stark County Telephone Company,
Canton, Ohio.
Gentlemen: Your letter of the I'd,
inquiring about the working OF the
two competing telephone lines in this
city, is received.
In our place of business we have
two instruments which cost us about
the same as one did before we had
competition; while the two give us
communication with more than dou-
bic the number of people that one did.
and and we think we can safely add,
that our experience In this respect is
the experience of a majority Of our
business men. This Is what competi-
ton has done for us. Before this, the
Central Union, or Bell company, had
its own way and its arbitrary methods
In connection with it's poor service fur
nished, so incensed and aroused our
people that they determined on having
an opposition company, who after n
long and fierce struggle, finally won
out.
AS we understand 1t, this Is the his.
tory of the Central Union, or Bell com
pany, wherever an opposition company
is sought to be organized. This COM
pany pretends not to fear competition;
but whenever and wherever the au,
thortes are pctitioned to grant it, this
same company is found employing the
most desperate, and oftentimes the
most questionable methods to defeat
It. Hero men were hired to lobby
against 1t, the authorities were beseig-
ed by every influence this company
could command to turn 1t down but
our people were determined on not be-
ing further dominated by this Bell
monopoly and its peculiar methods,
and demanded of its servants that a
franchise he granted an opposition
company, which was accordingly done
The result is that competition has re-
duced our rates; has improved oul
service, and has secured for us com
munication with hundreds and hun
dreds of people the Central Union com
pany would never have reached.
We predict that your citizens will
enjoy the same relief upon securing
the benefits Of competition, We beg
to remain, Very respectfully,

A Glass Of Water at RedtIme,

The human body is constantly un.
dergoing tissue changes. Water has
the power of increasing these changes
which multiply the waste products,
but at the same time they are re.
newed by its agency, giving rise to
increased appetite, which in turn pro.
vides fresh nutriment. IL you do not
accustom yourself to drink water reg.
ularly you are liable to have the
waste products form faster than they
are removed. Any obstruction to the
free working Of natural laws at once
produces disease. Great weakness and
languor on rising in the morning Is
generally due to large secretion OF
these waste products, and the RENE.
dy is to drink tumblerful of water
--either hot or cold-just before re.
firing. This materially assists in the
process during the night, and leaves
the tissues fresh and strong, ready
for the active work of the next day.
