ADVERTISING SCHEMES.
How the People Are Fooled
By Gold Brick
Swindlers.

| vertising line, and here the gold brick
and big mitt swindler works with a
| freedom from annoyance that Is refresh

zone of the greatest fakirs Is, per-
haps, the scheme advertising promoter
The fellows with time table rackets, and
even the Western Union Telegraph
Company have entered the field with
their advertising clocks and the sur
rounding framework of examples OF
bad printing. The hotel register fakir
is hand in hand with the fellow who
prints cards on sugar bags and hotel
rules to be posted and read while the
patron of the hotel sleeps. Almost
every city is infested with an 'adver-
tising agency which generally con-
sists of a solicitor and expert collector
all in one-who talks learnedly of re-
suits, when he could not produce legi-
innate line of results from any of his
schemes with block and tackle. This
is the individual who prints the ball
scores, the programs on the Fourth Of
July, and who rides in the carriage with
the speaker Of the day on Labor Day,
as result Of being a friend Of the la
boring man, and having the union label
on all of his printing. Still merchants
who are generally accredited with the
average amount of business ability, bite
at his schemes with the avidity of a
hungry catfish after a worm.
Following these fakirs are the church
and other associations, whose program
advertising is nothing more or less than
sheer blackmail. Every merchant
knows too well their method of oper-
ating to dilate on it here. 1t Is nothing
more than a hold-up, and operates up
on the lines of the solicitor for adver-
tising of the average labor paper, who
drops hints Of a silent boycott If the
merchant fails to advertise in the paper,
which is the official organ of steen
thousand laboring men. If the mer-
chant possesses enough backbone to
turn down these people he never loses
a penny. and they actually respect him
for having the courage, in the same
manner that bully always respects the
quiet citizen for thrashing him.
"If the merchants of the country
would listen more to the advise of the
advertising representatives of the pa
pers in their own cities, they would
save money and make money at the

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Warren E. Russell Requests the
Publication of a
Letter.

Mr.. Warren e. Russell, of Massillon,
thinks that response should be made TO
a reference to Christian Science in a
sermon printed in the News-Democrat
some time during the convention at the
First Christian church. Edward Afford
Merritt, Of Cleveland, has seen fit to
answer the statements in the sermon
and Mr.. Russell requests its publica-
ton in the interest of the work In
which he is so much interested.
ITO the Editor of the News-Democrat:
my attention has been called to an
article published in your issue Of Fri
day, September 7th, entitled Psychic
Phenomenon in which the article en-
deavors to confiund the teachings OF
Christian Science with mesmerism,
hypnotism, telepathy, etc. The dis
course was delivered by Rev. Alanson
Wilcox, of Youngstown, o., and in the
discourse he also made 1t appear to his
readers that Christian Science was the
principle of suggestion
'I wish to correct the assertions made
in this discourse as the speaker could
not have had any knowledge Of what
Christian Science is or he would not
have made the assertions. How much
better 1t would be for the community
at large, if they could hear about Chris
tian Science or hypnotism, or spiritu-
alism, or anything else from those who
are versed in them respectively. There
is no analogy whatever, between
Christian Science and spiritualism. or
hypnotism, for Christian Science is
founded upon the Word of God. and its
works are demonstrated through the
teachings of Christ. The power Of heal
ing is divine, wholly spiritual No
where in the Bible nor in the Christian
Science text books, can it be found
that suggestion is method of healing
taught by Jesus Christ. God is eternal,
an ever present truth, being All in ALL
The teachings of Jesus may suggest to
Christians that God is love, that God is
life, that we should have no other
gods but the one Infinite God, but only
in this way, can the teachings of Chris
tian Science be classed with sugges-
tion.
Let any one who is interested in the
subject of Christian Science follow the
teachings of it's text book, Science and
Health, with Key to the Scriptures by
the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy. 1t Is only
right that true knowledge should be
gained from the source of the knowledge
and only with this idea, do I present
the above to your readers, in order that
they may not have a misunderstood
ing of Christian Science, but that they
may know that 1t is based upon a
Christian foundation, and is, therefore,
not classed with any other of the
modern isms.
"Will you kindly publish this article
in the interest of truth and justice?
Respectfully yours,
EDWARD Afford MERRITT"

but at the present It looks as though
every day brought new scheme to 'ad-
vertise,' which does not, and will not,
advertise. The newspaper which goes
right to the home is taken in to every
member of the family, saved until every
member of the family has read 1t, is
the only true and effective method of
reaching the people. But right here
comes in the worst fakir of them ALL
and he is the newspaper circulation
liar. No advertiser can afford to spend
his money in a paper of uncertain cir
culation."

Four other horses also started.
While Canton has not SO many horses
going down the line, what are out repre-
senting this city are consistent race
horses and steady winners. There are
two reasons for this. One is that the
horses are bred to go the distance. The
other is that they were thoroughly pre-
pared before they started out, and were
admirably handled. 1t looks as though
not a single horse from this city had
been forced TO take a mark within
several seconds of the limit of it's speed,
and that means that they are not out
classed and will be in the swim next

Stand and Quotes City Charter
Which Says School Board
Can't Borrow Money.

Members of Council have for the pres
ent taken their eyes from the Street and
Sewer Directors and there is therefore a
lull In the fight for the receipts from GER
tain sources. They are now keeping a
close watch on the members OF the Board
Ct Education and it was reported last
night that should the Board pass any
resolutions permitting large sums OF
money to be borrowed, an Injunction
would be applied for and the matter tied
up in the courts.
move of this kind was talked of
sometime ago when the board starred to
issue certificates Of Indebtedness. Ger
tllcates to the amount of $4,000 had
been Issued when halt was called by
certain members of the board including
Nessrs. Fraim and 0Donnel.
Mr.. Eraim who has so stenousy fought
against all attempts to borrow to com.
plete the new High School, said when
seen by Sun representative that he had
been commended by many citizens of his
own and other wards on his course. He
stated that he based his stand on the fol-
lowing st ction from the city charter:

BEAUTIFYING ST. PETERS.
Improvements at Pro-Cathedral
to be Completed in October.
The Walls Have Been Raised Four
Feet and Strong new Roof
Put on.

The work of making the extensive al
terations to st. Peters Pro Cathedral is
progressing nicely. The walls OF the
church have been raised four feet,.a very
strong new roof has been put @a. and is
now receiving its covering OF fKe slate
under the supervision of Mr.. Grier, and
yesterday the work of tearing off the
other double roof begins in earnest. This
has been done since the beginning of
May without any serious interruption OF
the church services except on Sunday,
June IL and then the congregation had
to crowd into the hall of the female
school opposite for morning service
only.
The interior ceiling is to be vaulted,
and decorated in papier mache panels
inclosing beautiful rosette and will be
in rich lily white color. Over the
centre of the nave will be large circu-
lar ventiator and dome, and three small
er domes will be built into the roofs
over the side aisles. The columns in the
sanctuary and through the church will
be encased in Myceanean marble and
will make fine contrast with the white
papier mache decorations.
The contract time for finishing the
| improvements was fixed as the middle
of August, but at the request of Mr..
Healy, the contractor, was extended to
October. The ceremonies of the opening
will be very elaborate.
To these improvements must be added
the entire renoyation of the house ad-
joining the church left by the McGraw
estate and to be used by the franciscan
Sisters in charge of the boys school,.
This will cost 81 200, more than oae-half
of which has been paid for.
Tomorrow is the patronal feast day OF
the church and where there were three
roofs few days before it is expected
that the new roof will be all that will
remain and the timid people will have
no reason to keep away from the church,
since no accident of any kind has oc-
Cured so far.
