GOOD FOR AKRON.
(Toledo Blade.)

The turbulent element at Akron will
hereafter think twice before precip-
itating a riot Last summer there was
as outbreak of lawlessness which re-
suited in the destruction of the City
building, the loss Of considerable pri-
vate property and the killing of several
persons.
The authorities at once went to
work to run down those who melted
the riot. The fact that some promi-
nent citizens engaged in it did not de-
ter the officers from doing their duty.
A large number Of indictments and
arrests followed, and up to date %
cases have been disposed Of. or these
seven pleaded guilty while in each of
the 10 trials conviction followed, and
the men and boys have been sent to
the penltentlary, workhouse or re-
formatory for terms OF from 30 days
to FIVE years. Fourteen indictments
remain to be disposed of at the next
term of court.
Akron officials deserve great credit
| for what they have done. 1t Is snch
prompt and wholesale punishment that
prevents crime.

ostensibly obviating some Of the OBJ
jections too reasonable TO be ignored
According to expert, non-political
opinion, gathered from all parts of the
country, the sentiment against this
bill is overwhelming. Thousands Of
prominent business men, college pro-
fessors and trade organizations have
pronounced against it. The press, ex-
cept when muzzled by party pressure,
has been outspoken in it's condemna-
tion of this scheme, which, if not sub.
merged under a wave Of popular indig-
nation, might easily grow into scan
dal as dlsgraceful as the Pacific mail
subsidy of thirty years ago.
The best argument made against the
Hanna Ship Subsidy bill, so called be-
cause Senator Hanna first introduced

chief sponsor, is that known as the

represented chiefly in this matter by
Mr.. Warner, by Calvin Tompkins and

Guy Evans Suffered
Severe Injury.
Funeral Services at Residence
of George Hart.
Friends Do Not Believe That He Com
mitted Suicide.
Especial Correspondence

Cuyahoga Falls, Dec. 1S.-Mr. Guy
Jones, OF Northampton Center, en-
ployed at the Wire Mill, was painfully
injured yesterday.
A huge pile of coiled wire, near
where he was working, became over
balanced, and fell on Mr. Jones, com
pletely covering him.
He was extrlcated as soon as pos
sible, and it was found that his foot
was badly crushed and his entire
body painfully scraped and bruised.
AS the wire was very heavy, Jones'
escape from death is considered mrac-
ulous.
The funeral services Of the late Geo.
w. Hart were held this afternoon at
I the residence of the deceased at 2
O'Clock A large crowd Of acquaint-
ances and friends attended. Interment
occurred in Glenwood cemetery.
The relatives of Mr.. Hart say the
death of the deceased was not due
to suicide. There was a shutter at
an attic window which swung rather
loosely and troubled Mr.. Hart a great
deal, as he was quite nervous. 1t Is
probable that Mr.. Hart determined to
repair the shutter himself as it was
from this window he fell. He was
very weak as the result of sickness
and became overbalanced and fell to
his death.
Il. A. Henry and wife left Sunday
night for Chicago, where they will
spend the Christmas holidays. They
will also visit st. Louis and other
Western cities before returning to Guy.

In fact in the city government system
itself 1t is manifest that we should
not be at the mercy Of special legisla-
tlon secured for political purposes by
legislative trading and dickering. To
instance the extent to which the classi-
fication method is carried 1t Is only
necessary to say that but two laws of
a general nature were passed during
the entire session of the last Leg gsla-
ture."
The taxpayers of Ohio spent a great
many thousand dollars last year to
have a Commission of lawyers tell
them In what manner they might OBJ,
tain satisfactory municipal reform up
on a general constitutional plan. But
the people permitted the politicians to
make foot ball of the Commission
and its report, with the result that
the cause Of true reform was given a
greater setback than would have been
the case had the. Commission never
been appointed.
Municipal reform will come to the
people just as soon as they take enough
interest in the legislative nominations
and elections to see that none but trust
worthy men get into the Gen.
eral Assembly. Until this inter-
est Is shown the perversion Of mu-
nicipal government throughout Ohio
a fair sample Of which has been en-
dured for three years by the people
of Akron will be no worse than the
people deserve.

BARRIERS
Have Advanced the Price Of Neck
Shaves.

ShaVeS.
At it's last meeting the Akron Bar
bers' union decided to make an extra
charge of cents each for shaving the
necks of customers after New Years
day. The added charge will be made
only when the customer has regu-
lar shave. No extra charge will be
made In case of hair cut. One of
the officers of the union says that the
union was forced to make this change
in the schedule of prices because so
many customers are In the habit of
requesting neck shaves every time
they have a regular shave. On Sat
urdays the time lost shaving necks
makes n considerable reduction In the
total receipts.
Cards have been posted in all of the

The Sword and tho Pen.

The saying about the sword as the
supporter of the pen has a more ven
cradle antiquity than the German
kaiser attributes to it, says the West
minister Gazette. Nor was 1t originally
said by a Prussian king; but it was
said toGa German kaiser at a time
when no one would think it probable
that the imperial dignity would pass
to- Prussia. Moreover, the author of
the saying was an Englishman and not
a Alderman. The English Franciscan,
nominalist, philosopher and statesman,
William of Ockham, offered his SER
vices to the Emperor Ludwig the Ba-
varian, during the conflict between
pope and emperor, with the words:
"Tu me defendas gladio, ego te de-
fendam calamo" What the Anglican
friar of the middle ages meant was
that he would undertake the literary
Campaign against popery if the en-
peror would protect him in the event
Of his excommunication by the Vati-
can.

PROFIT IN SMUGGLING GEMS.
M,ny People Now Engaged In Illicit
Traffic In Diamonds

The incentive to smuggle diamonds
on account of the rising market was
never as great as it is right now" said
a local jeweler, chatting after business
hours, and nothing is easier-appar-
emily. y hollow bamboo cane, for in
stance, might hold $25, 900 worth of
gems. and there is no reason why any
gentleman might not walk eff the
steamer carrying it under his arm and
go about his business. The customs
inspectors do not dare search a pas
senger unless they have some actual
valid ground for suspicion, and da-
monds are SO small they can be hidden
in a hundred different places in any
body's attire yet smuggling them on
a commercial scale is nearly always
detected This is accomplished
through very peculiar and almost
unknown bureau Of the government
the foreign secret service. | have
heard old travellers deny its existence
and declare it was only a bugabOo to
scare folks into being honest, but any
foreign agents are queer people, and
have been told that several of them
are women. They never appear as wit
ncsses or figure in any prosecution, but
they make it their business to keep in
touch with the big diamond brokers
and when they hear Of large sales be-
ing made to suspicious or unknown
persons they cable a quiet tip to the
authorities on this side Their mys-
terious espionage, coming from no
body knows what quarter. has had
such a moral effect that very few are
willing to take chances, and the con-
sequence is that diamond smuggling is
so unfrequent that it has no effect on
The trade. Speculation in diamonds is
rife at present, by the way, and enOr-
nous sums of money are being tied
UP in the stones. 1t is believed they

A Hard Rain.

1t rains a great deal in the Puget
sound country" said the man from
that section, 'and | heard of funny
incident not long ago about it. Some
chap had come from the Missippi val
ley to take UP his residence at What
com, on Bellingham bay, where there
are very high tides. When the boat
landed him at the end of the long pier
extending over the tide flats the water
was low and the new man didn't notice
anything but wide stretch of sand
between the boat and the town. 1t
was in the evening about dark and was
raining, and he went to the hotel on
the front street and stayed there, going
to bed without having gone out for a
walk. The next morning when he got
up he looked out and the tide was in
the water coming up close to the hotel.
He gazed at the widespread waters for
an instant, and, throwing up his hands
in establishment, he exclaimed, Gee
whiZ, but it must have rained hard
last night! Then he hurried down
stairs to the office TO find out if there
was any danger from the flood. and the
clerk smiled four or five times and
gave him some much-needed informa-
ton. Washington Star

SURPRISED THE GIRLS.
Their Reception at Dawson After Dis.
couraging Journey.

Nothing queerer or quainter ever
happened in Dawson City than the re-
ception of the schoolma ans" said Mr..
L. D. Carl, the Klondike miner, who
spent day in New Orleans recently.
You see, in the spring of 81 a lot OF
young women, mostly from west Ore
gon, banded together to go to Dawson,
attracted by the stories of big wages.
They were nice girls, all of them, who
had been earning their living as clerks,
stenographers, bookkeepers, seam
stresses, school teachers and so on, and
they had enough good American pluck
to believe they could make their way
in any temperature. AS bad luck would
have it, however, they got snowbound
at Lake Bennett, and were tied up
there for over two months. That ex-
hausted their money and enthusiasm,
and when they finally set out for the
Yukon they were as homesick and
hopeless and generally detected a
crowd as you ever saw. Meanwhile the
report reached Dawson that party of
twenty-five beautiful schoolma ans
would arrive by the next boat, and
great excitement prevailed. There was
no school there at the time, but it was
instantly agreed that several would be
put up, if necessary to give the strang-
ers occupation. What we need said
one Of the speakers at public meet
ing, is the society of real ladies to
give tone to the town. and We must
keep EN- here, regardless of expense.
This met general approval, and ar
rangementS were made for an elaborate
reception and banquet, the tough ele-
ment being put on notice that the
slightest disturbance might bring on a
lynching. The boat arrived about dusk,
and the poor respondent girls We're
amazed at the appearance of a recep-
ton committee, who greeted them with
profound bows and escorted them to
a gorgeously decorated supper ROOM
with a brass band footing in the back
ground. They were informed by the
! spokesman that Dawson was honored
by their presence, and while the town
was temporarily short on schools, that
defect would be promptly remedied. In
the interim they were to consider
themselves guests of the municipality,
and quarters had been arranged for
| them at the best hotel. The sit alton
| gradually dawned on the dumfounded
young women, and their spirits scared
skyward They explained that only
two of the party were really teachers,
and next day all secured good posi-
tons Most of them did exceedingly
well, and the majority eventually got
married. | know several who are the

HIGHPRICE OF PAPER.
TARIFF TAX ON WOOD PULP A
COSTLY ONE.
May Compel Subscribers to Fay More
for Their Country Newspaper - The
Cry for It's Instant Repeal Il Very
Loud-Paper Trust Robbery.

There are very conclusive reasons
why the present tariff tax on wood
pulp and printing paper should be re-
pealed, and there is no reason in the
Interest of American industry that
pleads for the continuance OF these
taxes. They are now simply an ele-
ment of robbery under color of law,
and they should be effaced from our
statutes.
The paper trust Is now taxing the
newspaper and book publishers OF the
country many millions, not because of
any such actual increase in the cost of
producing paper, but because the trust
has the power to extort from the pur-
chasers of paper up to the extent that
would make tariff-taxed foreign paper
and pulp cheaper than the prices de-
manded here. This trust has played its
scheme of extortion to the uttermost,
and congress should at once remove
the tax that protects no American in
dustry and that has become only an
hSNhI w lOO IAC
Two-thirds of the wood pulp used in
the manufacture of paper for American
consumption should come from Can
ada, but it Is excluded by tariff tax,
and we are now rushing headlong in
the destruction of our forests, while
Canada, with it's almost limitless sup
ply of timber, cannot reach our mar
kets because of the tax imposed by
the tariff.
The two conclusive reasons which
should make congress act promptly are
first that the paper trust should be
at once halted in its rapid destruction
of our American forests by the admis-
sion of free wood pulp from Canada;
and second, that the present eXtortion
practiced by the paper trust upon pub
fishers of newspapers a d books shall
cease to have the protection of the gov
eminent.
The time has come when any trust
that makes arbitrary profits by tariff
duties must cease to be protected by
the government. Where American in
dustry needs protection it is reason
able to permit it, but where alleged
projection is used only for systematic
robbery, it must be overthrow.
We can now manufacture paper as
cheaply as any country in the world.
There is no excuse whatever for tax
upon the manufactured articles, and
the raw material should be free. not
only because the general principle Is
correct, but because if 1t shall not be
done promptly our forests will be prac-
tically destroyed within few years by
tariff taxes excluding the lumber OF
Canada from our markets.
Paper and pulp must be made free
of all taxes as the paper trust has dem
onstrated that these taxes serve only a
single purpose-that is to invite rob
berry under color of law Philadelphia
Times.
