AKRON OFFICER
Writes From the PhiIippines--War
Will End Soon.

Col. j. H. Morrison has received a
letter from his son, Adjt. Ira I. Nor
rison, who is now serving in the
Philippines. The writer says that he
has arrived safely Mt Manila. He
does not believe the Filipinos will hold
out much longer in opposition to Uncle
Sam, as preparations are now being
made to crush the rebellion in the
north. The insurgents forces to the
south are within five miles of Manila,
says the writer, but little attention
will be paid to them until the north
ern forces are crushed out
Adjt. Morrison announces that the
boys who enlisted for Philippine SER
vice from Akron and Summit county,
are all getting along nicely and are
we'll pleased with their experiences.

The testimonials published in these
columns from day to day direct from
people living in Akron and the sur
rounding country have in great meas
IRE attracted the attention OF the suf-
ferer. and yet with all this positive
evidence of cures received by his
friends and neighbors he is doubtful
whether the treatment will be bene-
ficial In his case. TO remove this
doubt and to prove the genuine cura-
tive properties Of his new method of
treatment, DR.. Ramsey will for lin
tied time give to all persons who have
never tried his treatment a free trial,
including all medicines necessary. All
accepting the free trial are under no
obligations whatever 10 continue treat
ment unless they SO desire.

OPPOSED
To the Cox Bill.
Believed 1t Will be
Defeated.
Too Injudicious Use Of
the Party Lash
Causing Some Of the Legisla-
tors to Balk.
Four Votes Needed to Beat Cox In
Senate.
Especial correspondence.)

Columbus, Feb. 7.--Senator Nippert,
the father of the Cox ripper bill, and
its other friends and relatives were
more unhappy last night than they
have been for long time. They are
slowly awakening to the fact that 1t
is highly improbable that George Il.
Cox Is going to secure control of the
city of Cincinpati, simply because he
helped to make George X. Nash Gov
ernor of Ohio. They are beginning to
realize that even lawmakers some
times think before they act, and that
now and then the sting Of the party
lash makes them think the more.
Even in the Senate with its big Re-
publican majority, the possibility Of
the defeat of the bill is growing, and
the friends of good government are
finding hope where there was naught
but discouragement before. -Four votes
are needed to bring about the defeat
of the bill besides those OF the Demo-
cratic minority and Senator Brown,
the independent Republican. The
enemies of the bill believe that the four
votes will be cast when the time
comes.
Senator Brorein, the leader of the
minority, said last night;
II think there is II good lighting
chance of beating the ripper in the
Senate. / know of six Republicans
who will vote for the proposed measure
only under the most vigorous protest
II is merely question of whether oil
not they have the courage to stand out
against the strongest kind of party
pressure"
The Republicans in whom most hope
|. is placed are Senators Wilhelm
Bright, Harding, Harbaugh, Hanna
| aud Middleton.
Senator Harding and Senator Har
baugh, both made significant state
ments today.
{ II don't think my constituents wan

Senator Harbaugh said: when tn,

ears, II always has the opposite cffec
from that desired by the boss VIII

I In the House the opposition to tn
: passage of the bill seems TO he grow
- ing more and more intense. If all tn

Tho consul for the Water Works
company are pretty good lawyers
and it would have been surprising
had they permitted such n cloud upon
their clients rights to have passed un-
noticed at the time the contract was
entered into.
Tho people wondered nj the time
Solicitor Esgatc remarked that he
thought the contract was Illegal, that
u law had been permitted to remain
upon the statute books giving them
the right TO have direct voice in so
important mater as the granting of
n water works contract, but now they
see things in the right light.
1t may have been that in the dead
past such II perfunctory thing as ask
ing the consent of the people upon the
subject of granting franchise cm-
bodying their rights was considered
necessary, but nowadays the people S
consent Is never thought of for II
minute
The Council and the Commissioners
may try to do something 20 obtain bet
ter conditions for the water users OF
Akron. but 1t looks as if the people
will have TO wait until the tompany's
contract expires in 1914 before rondi
tions can be materially improved. The
city will not ,puy n hundred thousand
dollars or more FOR the Water com
pany's plant than it Is worth, and un
ill its contract expires the company
of course will be master. of the situa

Columbus, Feb. T.--Senator Nippert's
bill providing that the City Board of
Education of Cincinnati be author
lied to issue life certificates TO teach
ers was read for the third time in the
Senate on Tuesday. Senator Marcllant
vigorously opposed the passage of the
bill upon the ground that the placing
of such power in the hands of n city
board would be dangerous. He said
he saw no reason why Cincinnati
should be placed upon II different
plane in this respect than Columbus
or Washington, G. H., or any other
city, and the enactment of such II
law would be II very dangerous pre-
cedcnt. Senator Nippcrt defended
his bill, saying that the frequent cX-
aminations to Which teachers are
obliged to submit are constant source
of worry and annoyance to them. He
believed that every City Board of Ed
tlcation should be given authority to
Issue life certificates. Senator Mar
