The Board Of City Commissioners
was convened in emergency session
n week ago last Monday night to give
the East Market street contracts to the
highest bidders before some taxpayer
got out an injunction suit. The only
parallel for this intrepid action was
when City Commissioner Crisp ran a
horse race with the Sheriff two years
ago to have ten year lighting contract
granted the highest bidder, concurred
in before the Sheriff arrived with an
injunction. The Proxy system impels
the Commissioners to move like light
ming when they want to do something
In behalf of their patrons, the privileg
ed interests, but with what lame ant
hating steps do they move to do some
thing for the people.

after with yoke of oxen last year in
order to get him to change his vote In

telephone franchise grab. And he is
one of the Councilmen whom the Bea.

cratic nominee for Council.

There is one avenue Of information

and that is the maintaining in office

son the politicians 10 control of the

The Dobson paper has been sneering
at Mr., Paul because he told the people
that he believed the clty's contract
with the Water Works company was
illegal. Any Councilman who says
anything or does anything favorable
to the interests Of the people and
against the welfare Of the franchise
interests Is certain to meet with abuso
and misrepresentation from the Dob
son paper. Only those Councilmen
who have been turned down by their
constituents because they were too
friendly to the franchise interests, are
held up as martyrs by our unfair
neighbor.

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG.
Prevents Many People From Trying
A Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so common
and in most cases so obstinate to cure
that people arc apt to look with sus-
picion OH any remedy claiming to be
radical, permanent cure for dyspep-
sia and indigestion. Many such pride
themselves on their acuteress in new
er being humbugged. especially in
medicines.
This fear Of being humbugged eau
be carried to far, so far in fact, that
many people suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk lit
tie time and money in faithfully test
ing the claims made Of preparation
so reliable and universally used as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re.
spect from ordinary proprietary med
! icines for the reason that they are not
secret patent medicine, no secret is
made of their ingredients, but analy-
| sis shows them to contain the natural
digestive ferments, pure aseptic pep
sin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal
bismuth. hydrastis and nuX. They are
not cathartic, neither do they act pow
erfully on any organ, hut they cure in
digestion on the common sense plan of
digesting the food eaten thoroughly
before it has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartlc pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou
bles because they act entirely on the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really In the stomach.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals digest the food. That y
ali there is to 1t. Food not digested oil
half digested is poison, as 1t creates
gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation oi
the heart. loss of flesh and appetite
and many other troubles which arr
often called by some other name.

Councilman Fiebeger says that under
no consideration would he accept re-
election to the Council next year. He
is thoroughly disheartened with the
abuse that has been meted out to
Councilman Paul of the First ward,
and insists that when the people get
faithful representative in the Council
they are disposed to turn him down
for partisan reasons when some self
seeking politician sets UP hue and
cry. The Democrat asks Mr.. Fiebeger
not to get discouraged too soon. He
has not yet heard what the voters of
the First ward think Of the abuse of
Mr.. Paul.

If all of Akron's Councllmen were
men of the independent type or MI.
Sorrick, the people would not have to
complain of being misrepresented. MIR.
Sorrick, while Republican, has had
the courage to show that he will not
endorse cowardly lie to permit the
politicians of his party to gain petty
advantage over worthy official of the
opposite party. Mr. Sorrick, perhaps,
may he called "turncoat' for having
cried shame upon his party's unprincl-
pled lenders. but such turncoats are
needed in Akron's Council.

IL the voters of the First ward do
not return Mr.. Paul to the Council they
should not be heard complaining in the
future when Councilmen vote to be-
trny their interests. Mr.. Paul has stood
by the interests of his constituents
upon every proposition coming before
the Council, and If they do not stand
by him now that abuse and misreprc-
sentation are being meted out to him
in reward for his services, 1t will be to
the shame of the ward.

where was to me seen rejoicing and
festivities Of all kinds. On March 10,
Queen Victoria came up from Wind
sor to participate in the celebration
and to review the troops, about to
leave for South Africa. 1t was her
first visit to London in four years, and
| it was great day. A policeman, up
on learning that we were from Ameri.
ca, favored us with front position
in full view of the parade. We had
an excellent view of the Queen. In
spite of her four score years and four,
she retains much physical and mental
activity.
Everywhere in England there is
strong American sentiment and the

Akron citizens will remember how,
when the Council called for an itemiz-
ed statement of the expense of building
the automobile, City Commissioner
McMillen replied to the Council that,
II don't have to give til" 81 don't have
TO tell!' And for two weeks thereafter
Mr.. McMillen carried the itemized
statement around in his inside pocket,
keeping Councilmen In the dark until
City Clerk Isbell furnished them the
information they were looking for. A
City Clerk who is not afraid of his job
Is better official for the people to
have in office than one who Will put
in all of his time playing proxy to the

If the esteemed Board Of City Com
missioners would only consent to retire
upon pension and allow the people
to run the affairs OF the city for
awhile through the Council, without
interference from the king of the

before that $65,000 deficit would real
ly look like thirty cents. But the deg

Commissioners will not run the city
themselves, and they don't want the

Councilman Fiebeger, chairman of
the Fire and Water committee of the
Council, says that Akron could save
100000 year by public ownership of

why the Water Works people are fight

First. Mr.. Paul has been leader In
the project of having municipal own
ership of the Water Works plant.

got out Of paying by bringing an in

A FALSE ALARM.

The Republican voters Of Akron
should not be frightened about the
danger of an unfair redistricting OF the
city into wards in the event that a
Democratic Council is elected, danger
signal that is now being flaunted in
their faces day and night by the
politicians who are interested in the
election Of Republican Council be-
cause they believe they will thus be
better able to extend the Proxy sys.
TEN to the Council.
The Democrats of Akron have had
the opportunity upon several occasions
within the last decade to redlstrict the
| city so that it would be more to their
advantage. The Fourth ward, for in
stance, contains twice as many voters
as any ward in the city. This ward
is Democratic and it would have been
an easy matter for the Democratic
Councilmen, had they been disposed to
take advantage Of their Republican,
neighbors, to have divided the Fourth
into two Democratic wards. That
they have been content to tolerate a
disadvantage to their party rather
than be a party to gerrymander in
which the people did not concur, is a
guaranty to every intelligent voter
that they will act equally fairly in the
future.
J The well known integrity of the mer
, who are candidates for Council upop

Every Tuesday night since the pres
cnt Council organized year ago the
people have read in the newspapers of
how the Councilmen were obJecting
against the extravagant policies Of the
Board Of City Commissioners, on many
occasions going to the extremity of
deadlocking legislation in order to pre-
vent some extravagant measure from
going through. The refusal Of the
Board to increase the salaries Of po-
licemen six or seven thousand dollars
year after 1t had been recommended
unanimously by majority of the
Board is n case In point. If the people
think their interests would be best TAX
en- care of by electing men to the Coun-
Gil whose nominations were brought
about largely through the influence of
the same political machine that now
controls the Board of Commissioners,
they are at liberty to do so.
