The Dobson paper "hopes that Il
matter of personal friendship or senti-
ment' will not impel the Republicans
of the Second ward to vote for any
other than their own party's nomi-
nees, especially for the Council"
This is only one Of the many ways in
which our neighbor is acknowledging
that Dick Palmer is very popular
man with his Second ward neighbors.
If they send him to the Council they
will be showing the very best of judg-
ment.

What Dohs0n Says:

L. Dwight Paul, of tho First
ward. who has been given kindly
permission by the Democratic own
ers, Young, Isbell and Company,
to run for second term as their
tool, is beginning to wish that he
had never been born. He is the
most disturbed candidate that
ever went before his neighbors with
a request for return to public office.
He sees defeat staring him in
In the face because his record, as
he well knows, Is such as would
deserve defeat for its maker at the
hands of any constituency. In the
first place he has ben q mere tool
during his entire term Of office. He
has been a perfect nonentlty, a
figure that only stirred and jump
ed like a Punch and Judy, when
the bosses whip cracked about
his ears or the sharp prod Of his
owners touched him from the rear.
And now just at the most un-
desirable moment in his whole
public career, the First ward
Councilman has put himself In a
hole from which he sees 10 means
Of extrication, Yriggle and twist
as he may.
When 7. Dwight Paul voted for
the East Market street paving
steal he forgot for the moment
that there were men whose word
is as good as bond, sitting near,
and who heard him give his con-
sent to the awarding of the con-
tracts, Isbells affidavit to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
Squlrm and twist as he may,
Mr.. Paul Is In a desperately bad
way. He has done absolutely moth
ing for his constituents in the Coun-
ell, and now those constituents
are about to take their turn at the
wheel. The result is not likely to
be satisfactory to Mr.. Paul, or his
owners, Young, Isbell 4 Company.
"a tulntOut 10 ENhSiuhJ uhoSi
stood to be, in politics, person
who changes his political affilia-
tions in chase after office. Mr..
Paul, now running for the Coun-
Gil on the Democratic ticket, was n
pronounced Republican up until
about the time he was made q
candidate for that office two years
ago, by the Democrats. He
damned his present associates as
long and as strongly and violent
ly as ever they were damned, for
years. but finally sucCumbed to
the Establishments of the high and
noble Office of Councilman. If our
esteemed contemporary, the Daily
Democrat, would be consistent, 1t
should give It's few readers the
privilenge of reading about Mr..
Paurs long @ and faithful @ ssr-
vice as Il party man-and specify

The attempt to choke Mr.. Turn
coat" Paul down the throats OF the
First wards Democratic voters,
' ls sufficient to produce n political
convulsiou. Watch the results Mon

If the people permit themselves to
be deceived by the transparent plan
of the Dobson paper and its political
allies to blind them to the real cause
of the mlsmangement Of their city's
affairs, the Proxy system aud tho
abuses that have crept In since IL
became factor in the control Of the
Executive branch of the local govern
ment; If they are willing to agree with
Dobson and make the City Council
the undeserving scapegoat for the
multiplied abuses and eXcesses that
have resulted from the Proxy sys-
tenn, they will lind when too late that
they have delivered their city over un-
rcservedly to as arrogant and indiffer-
ent crew of political spoilsmen as
ever helped the privileged interests
to grab franchise.

HANDS OFF!

II has been brought to tho ntten-
ton of the Democrat by a resident and
taxpayer of the Second ward that the
Akron firemen are taking entirely too
much of hand in the local politics of
that ward for the good of the service
For instance, the charge has been
openly made that the tiremen were the
controlling factor In the Second ward
Republican caucus, and that they
were Instrumental in defeating for
nomination Mr.. Wm. IL. Odell, an ex-
member of the Board of Education,
and caused the nomination TO go in.

Odelrs avowed purpose, hnd he been

sisted upon an investigation of the
management Of the local fire depart

this, nominated Mr.. Rice who Ia con-
sidercd to be very partisan to the fire.

Second ward was but recently the suf,
ferer from two severe fires, which com.

1t is a fact that there has been com

the unsalaried Councilmen responsible
for the deficits resulting from the mis-
management of the city's affairs by
its paid servants, and the attempt also
to make the controlling majority upon
the Board of City Commissioners ap-
pear blameless for the distressing con-
ditions, together with the abuse of
Councilmen who, throughout their
whole term of office, have done all
that was within their power for
the interests of their constituents is
doing an incalculable damage to Ak

The citizens of Akron will believe
nothing else than that the unjustifed
attack by the organ Of Dobson upon the
Akron Council is the part of a well
laid plan to extend the Proxy system
to the Council, just as 1t has been ex-
tended to the Commissioners, much to
the detriment Of the city's best inter-

AS the Council is now organized, and
as it may be continued for the future,
it is in position to act as check
up the extravagant and unpopular
tendencies of the Commissioners. To
try to hold the Council responsible for
failure to do that which they are not
able to do under the Commissioner
law, that is; have surveillance over all
the acts of the Commissioners and
to supplement this extravagant at
tempt at saddling responsibility upon
the Council by all manner of abuse
and Misrepresentation Of popular Coun-
cilmen, who, like Mr.. Paul, for in
stance, have gone to the limit Of the
laws opportunities to check the ex-
travhgances of the Board over whom
the people have no control, is simply
placing q premium upon driving
competent and trustworthy men from
the local public service.
Every Council will make some mis-
takes. The present one is no exception
to the rule, but upon the other hand
it has done the people great deal of
good service.

SOMETHING WORTH THINKING ABOUT.

In 1902, Mayor VIM. II. Miller, in his
annual report TO the Council, told In
what condition the city finances were
at that time. He said:
"Of the condition Of the financial
affairs of the city as shown by the re-
port of the City Clerk, the city has
justly a Ught to be proud. The bond
ed Indebtedness Of the city to be re-
deemed by general taxation is more
than sufficient to ilquidate the debt,
all other outstanding bonds being for
special improvements, street paving,
sewers, etc, provided for by special
taxation, 80 that the city is practically
out of debt"
This was one year before the City
Commissioners system went into ef'
feet.

Six years, later, after having paid a

city, the taxpayers find that the debt
to bc redeemed by general taxation
exceeds @200,00O, with but $5S000 in

gency.
This debt IS divided as follows:

AFTER q YEARS.

New YOrk.-People who have waited long to see stories written by them ap- pear in print can take hope from the remarkable experience of Mrs Helen T. Clark, a writer and actress, whosa home is in this city. Twenty-one years ago she sent a short story from Flor ence, Mass, to Springfield paper, hardly daring to hope it would be used And 1t was not; at least all memory of her youthful efforts had passed from her mind. when she returned home yes teTday and began opening her mail. The first letter handed to her by her daughter was one from a theatrical company she had signed wi.h. to join 1t at Portland, Me, immedia tely.
 Why. what's this?" Mrs. Clark, who writes under the nom de plume of Stephen Power Otis. said to her daugh- ter as she looked at the envelope bear ing the name of the Springfield paper. It's funny l should get a letter from them"
 Her surprise increased when she opened the envelope and found a check large enough to be acceptable. Think ing that a mistake had been made. the mystery.
 When a clipping of the story was sent to her she recognized it as one of her first attempts. written twenty years ago, the last year of her resi- dence in Florence. Why the newspa- per kept the story so long a, time is a mystery to Mrs. Clark. It was wrl.- ten before her daughter, Juliet, was born, and now the daughter herself is an actress.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.
