Ii, the Board of Control Of the Ak
ron Public Library is the court OF
last resort there will be no branch IL
brary established in South Akron.
The matter was informally discussed
at Friday nights session of the Board,
and the members seemed almost unit
in opposition to the plan. The opin-
ion expressed was, that the Board
was powerless to act. Mr.. Seybold
introduced the subject by stating that
he expected a delegation Of ladies
representing the Woman's Council to
he present Mt the meeting. He said
the women were working for branch
library in til southern portion Of the
city aud he believed they had the
good Of the city at heart.
Continuing, Mr.. Seybold said: II do
not believe that this Board has the
power to branch out. We are a crea-
ton Of the City Council. We are the
Councils trustees to oversee the ex-
penditure of money for the public
library. If branch were established
In South Akron, East Akron would
soon make the same demands with
equal rights. If we are to expand, we
had better buy more books and more
book stacks and complete this library
and make our present quarters the GEN.
trail point Of intelligence in the city
This policy Of establishing sub-librar-
les around town is an aping of Cleve-
land ideas Many of us want to imi-
tate the methods of n big city. l
think people have a wrong idea rs to
distances. 1t is no farther out to
South Akron than 1t is to any of the
other extremitles of the city"
Messrs. Seward and Vaughan agreed
with President seybold.
Mr.. Doran said that he thought the
South Akron branch was to be largely
private enterprise. He thought the
intention of the Womans Council
was to open reading room to keep the
youth Of the city off the streets. He
thought literature was to be borrowed
from time to time from the public
library. In reply to the objection that
books would be destroyed, Mr.. Doran
said
The books would not be mutilated
any more than they are here. The
fad now in vogue is to cut pictures out
of books and magazines and paste
them on cardboard Many Of our books
are returned with the finest pictures
missing"

satisfaction with life and the truest
and best things OF this world.
David Carson is the opposite. 1t is
uplifting.
The story is . decided contribu.
tion to American literature, and the
essential religious basis Of Ameri-
can character has never been told in
fiction with greater clearness or
keener human interest.
There is no waste OF matter in its
pages. The story flies along with q
breathless swiftness equal to the
fiery charges OF the doctor; charac-
tier and incidents alike stand out in
brilliant outline.
While the author is trying to
teach a lesson, this purpose is not
put forward too prominently. The
book is strong enough in such incl
dents and emotions as are common
to the human heart to stand simply
on its appeal as q story. And it il
a keen, wholesome, charmingly told
story Of character, conduct and love,
and, free from mawkish sentimen-
tality, it holds the readers atten-
ton from beginning to end. The
book ranks as one Of the notable
novels of the year, and think l
am we'll within the mark in saying
that is one Of the three or four best
novels of the decade. Written in q
style of singular purity and ele-
gance, it exemplifies the brightest
type Of the problem novel.
The book may be safely brought
into the family circle and placed in
the hands Of the young.
i 1t is indeed very remarkable
novel, and not a book that can be
lightly classified or ranked with 9TH
|er modern works of fiction.
! The book bristles with spigram-
matte sayings, which one would like
to remember. 1t will appeal strong
ly by force Of it's originality and
derth Of insight, and for the elo-
quence and dignity Of style in the
! descriptive passages.
The book is not only interesting,
Q but stimulating, not only strong but
suggestive, and it may be said Of the
7 writer, in Sidney Laniers words,
"He shows man what he may be in
terms Of what he is"
a 1t is worthy both Of reading and
Q keeping. RICHARD M. MILBURN.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale OF any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought Of usinI anything else for
indigestion or biliouspess. Doctors were
scare, and they seldom heard Of ap-
nervous prostration or heart
failure, etc. They used August Flower
to clean out the system and stop iermen-
tation OF undigested food, regulate the
action Of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action Of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, Nov. Is.
-"In ten years Indiana will have
the negro problem to solve"
This statement was made in an in.
terview yesterday in this city by
Hon. Frank B. Burke, Of Indianap-
oils, who was discussing the strength
of the republican party in Indiana.
Continuing Mr.. Burke said:
SIN four years from now Indiana
will be reliably republican, if the in
crease of the negro vote continues.
Since 1876 Indiana has been a
doubtful state. From that time
there has been a systematic impor-
tation Of negro voters from the south.
Prior to 1896 the republican farmers
living along the river would, in the
spring preceding an election, bring
from Kentucky negroes to work
their farms, and at the end OF the
season they would discharge them.
The negroes remained in Indiana,
and usually became a charge on the
people.
"This progress of colonization
was repeated every two years. In
1896 the republican organization
put into effect an entirely different
system of colonization. They fur
nished transportation and certain
SUN of money to all negro voters
who would migrate from any south.
ern state to either the states OF Ohio,
Indiana or Illinois. This system ol
colonization was kept up for foul
years by the republican national
committee. As a result OF this We
have between 6 200 and 8, 500 negro
voters in the city of Indianapolis
and a negro population OF abou
1000. Indianapolis is . city o
about 10000. Louisville with it
2O4 900 population, has negro vot'
of about 8, 900. Clark county has
negro vote of about 1900. W.
have in the state now about $1,000
negro voters, with a corresponding
population.
"With this black vote, the repub
licans were able to carry Indiana il
1896 and in 1900. This migration
of the negro voter will rapidly in
crease to the North, a. the southern
states, by constitutional qualifica
tions, deprive them Of elective fran
chise. This population is not de
sirable for many reasons. While
is true that there are some intelli
gent, industrious and ambitious ne
groes in Indiana, they are very
very few.
.'The vast majority tend to in
crease the criminal population
thereby adding to the cost Of main
tenance OF penal institutions and tn
administration Of criminal justice
More than half the time of ou
criminal courts is taken up in try
ing negroes for penal offensef
They live in shacks, and cheape
than a white man can. They ar
gradually taking the place OF whit
men as lsborers, and, indeed, tn
employers Of labor prefer them to
white man, claiming that they al
more tractable.
"The negroes can be relied upo
to vote the republican ticket, exceI
. that the young bucks now want Z
1T be paid for so doing. In Indianal
oils there are few intelligent NJ
groes who are trying to divide tn
negro vote, but up to this time the
efforts have been q failure.
"With this continued unnatur'
increase Of negro population, II
white people 10 Indiana, Ohio an
Illinois will soon have the ras
problem 10 solve"

excerpts from his speeches, the first
from the speech delivered at Woon'

the Sioux Falls Press:

principle, an idea, for the doctrines
of the Declaration of Independence;
that it was emblematic of these and
when raised in violation of the ideas
for which it stood and the principles
which made it dear to us it was no
longer our flag and could only b.
restored to US by pulling it down,

Organism is not democracy"
says the Philadelphia Ledger, sit is
a poisonous parasite which has killed
the party as a party. Democrats
there are, and good ones, too, but
they are not Bryanites. The resur-
rection of the democracy is to be
achieved by them after they have
gotten rid of Organism, which they
will do by a~bstaining from voting
for Bryan. On the grave of its
dead self the party will, undoubted.

is again defeated and the political

The villifcation of Roosevelt at
Trinity Dutch church on Sunday,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean was in
keeping with the general conduct of
the Bryan campaign. There has
been little or no argument in that
campaign from the outset-only a
constant appeal to discomfort and
disorder.
Mr.. Bryan's local organ, whose
employees made the villainous raid at
Trinity Dutch Reformed church,
printed not many weeks ago a defam
atory article on the soldiers in the
Philippines. A short time before
the riot at Victor, Colo, it printed a
violent attack GU Roosevelt, with
pictures calculated to stir the igno.
ran to turbulence. The article and
the pictures we're reproduced in the
Bryan organ at Denver on the morn
ing of the Victor riot. 1t was mere.
ly a similar course of events that
eliminated in the s~acriIegious scene
at Trinity Dutch Reformed church
on Sunday.
No n who was not present at
the Dutch church on Sunday can
have a proper conception Of the in
decency of the demonstration. 1t
was an organized scheme to carry
the language and habits of the Lever
to a church door. 1t was an out
rageous Insult to every decent man
who witnessed it. 1t was peculiarly
insulting to the Dutch citizens on
whom it was inflicted.
If Governor Roosevelt had gone
to a fashionable church like st.
Crysostom's or St. James, or the
Fourth Presbyterian, does any one
believe that the employees of Mr..
Bryan's Chicago organ would have
encouraged OF permitted its men to
assail him and the whole congrega-
ton with foul language? Certainly
not. And why not? Merely be-
cause the insult would have been to
a fashionable and influential conrre-
cation as we'll as to the Governor.
But as Governor Roosevelt chose to
go quietly to un%pretentious Trinity
Dutch Reformed church, the demo.
cratic plotters felt they might treat
with contempt the comparatively
weak sect that represents the Holl-
anders in Chicago.
The insult was not only to the
Governor of the state of New York
to the Republican candidate for Vice
President, to the colonel of the old
Rough Riders, to the man who dis.
tinguished himself at San Juan, but
to tbs state he represented, to the
church whose guest he was, to the
Hollanders whose kin he is, and to
the people of Chicago, who never
before the advent of MI. Bryan's
personal organ were Inundated by
such scene at a Christian sanctuary.
