dence that Akron's dictator is the real
candidate who asplres to the Mayor
atty but that these disclaimers are de-
ceiying no Republicans of discernment
is indicated on every hand by the indif-
ference of rank and file and even
of many of the leaders, to the result
of the election.
Republican leaders who are sincere
in their professions of zeal for the re-
form of Akron's government are going
to permit their party to have an object
lesson ut the spring election.
This will be of no permanent disad-
vantage to the party, while upon the
other hand il will enable it to get rid
of the barnacles which have jeopardiz-
ed the success of the party ticket in
every local election for the past three
years. And at the same time it will
clear the way for real municipal re-
form, which otherwise would be clog
ged by the opposition of the present
beneiiciaries of the perverslon of our
local administration.

a review of three years Of the Proxy
system reveals. A treasury that Is
100000 oyerdrawn within less than Il

breaking of police and other regll.

get his favortes into the public SER
vice; the increasing of salaries of city
officials; the creation of upward of
thirty or forty new offices to make
room for the political creditors of
Judge Anderson; the squanderlng of
the money raised for the Improvement
of the fire service; and the purchase
of unnecessary and costly equipment
are only few of the burdens which
have been put upon the people by the
Proxy system. No wonder that Treas.

for Akron's people to get out of debt
Is to increase the tax levy. But be.

they will try the cXpedient of doing

A NEEDED "OBIECT LESSON

-Four years ago both the Republican
and Democratic conventions of Sum
NIT county adopted resolutions declar-
ing for the amendment of the form of
Akron's government.
In the legislative session which fol
lowed, lobbyists for the continuation
OF the Commissioner form of govern
mcnt succeeded in preventing any mod
liicatlon of the law by setting the ad-
vocntes of the reform working ut cross
purposes.
The reform of our government was
defeated in much the same manner two
years ago,
And the fact is that all efforts ut
reform along this line viii be de-
feated, rs has been SO well said by
Councilman Fiebegcr, until the citl-
zens of Akron show to the politicians
who are preventing the amendment
that no party which assumes responsl.
bIlity for the unpopular acts Of the
Board OF City Commissioners can win,
n victory in local elections.
The faction that has claimed the credit
FOR controlling the late Republican pri-
marics, is the same that Is responsible
for aud has enjoyed the benefits re-.
sultlng from the control Of the Board
of City Commissioners. And by In.
tlucnclng the election week after next
this faction hopes to continue and
extend It's control of the Executive de,
partment OF the city.

in the history of our local government
when political boss has dared give
more shocking and insolent affront to
the intelligence and the independence
of our citizens,
The thing that is of most immediate
concern to the taxpayers of Akron is
not the amendment of the form of the
clty's government
1t is the Immediate reform of the
administration of the city's affairs
as forced upon our unwilling
and helpless people for the last
two years that is the solicltude of ev-
cry citizen and voter who has the best
interests of his city at heart.
Reform Of the city's government
will come 1t must come, in due season.
but at the very least no change can be
effected by the Legislature within u
year.
But If the citizens of Akron are in
terested enough and are strong enough
to elect Mr. Isbell, against the combined
effort of the privilege seeking oppo-
sition, then healthy reform in the ad-
mnlstration Of the city's affairs by the
Board of Commissioners will be inst-
tuted Immediately after the election.
The second terms of two of the mem
bers of the present Board will then
have expired, and in the face, of de
feat for his machine mt the polls Judge
Anderson will not dare try to main
tain his proxies in office for third
term.
The threat which is being repeated
night after night that the Gar will
take this high-haDded and unpopular
course II tie people do not elect the
man who will be satisfactory" to him,
imports so abject surrender to boss
domination that it surprises us that
even the Beacon should have the
stupidity TO give it publicity.
1t was Gen. Dick who remarked to
an Akron neighbor not long ago that
if he were City Commissioner he
would not be controlled as they have
been controlled, and that If he were
Judge Anderson he would not do as
the Judge is doing.
Perhaps this sentiment of Gen Dick
indicates that there are hundreds Of
others of his party of the same way of
thinking and that after all the Dob
son paper does not voice the true party
sentiment when it enters up default
judgment upon the presumptuous
claim asserted by Judge Anderson to
the control of the entire executive
branch of the city government as well
as the local machinery of his party.

constructed one fire station, partly
finished another, both alp without
equipment, and yet only $4,000 of the
original S67 900 remains on hand with
which to purchase equipment and
build the two other stations. The
people of South and North Akron win

had to say.
Every Akron voter should read the
remarks which were made by local
citizens ut the meeting ut local Dem,
ocratic headquarters last evening.
The language in which some of the
speakers resented the insult offered
to the Democratic citizens of Akron
by Solicitor Esgate, who is now seek
ing their votes to aid him to a second
term, was firm and vigorous, but tenn
perate, and will doubtless make Mr..
Esgate feel ashamed that he uttered
such sentiments as were imputed to
him by his party's organ. Mr.. IsbelI,
the Democratic nominee for Mayor,
called attention to some irregularities
in the administration of the City's
affairs by the Commissioners that viii
be revelation to the taxpayers.
The S67, 900 which the Legislature au-
thorized the City Commissioners to
spend for fire department improve
ment purposes has melted away like
ice in an August sun. And the work
which the $4,000 was. expected to
perform has not been half finished.
No wonder the citizens Of Akron are
ayersc to further Bond issues to pro.
vide money for the City Commissioners
to spend. The Beacon says the way
to put the brakes upon the extrava.
gance of the City Commissioners is
to elect Judge Anderson Mayor!
Mr.. Isbell's three years of opposl-
ton to the City Commissioners ad-
ministration of the affairs Of the city
is proving TO be great deal more
convincing to the people than are the
words which have been put into the
mouth of n rival cnnliluta for thn
Mayoralty in the eleventh hour of the
campaign by the political boss who
Is interested in securing an endorse.
mcnt of his Proxy system. Three
years of action count for more than
n week of campaign profession.
The Proxy system is a great deal
more unpopular now than it was two
years ago. This is one reason why
Akron's Dictator will not be able to
prevent the appointment of new City
Commissioners when the people elect
Mr. lsbelI to the Mayoralty ten days
hence.

and mean another is almost as bad as
to look one way and be seeing in an

NEW YORK, April Glowing TO the
heavy storm which has been raging in
the west, all traffic east of Cleveland has
been delayed from two to seven hours
The Grand Central depot presented a
strange appearance this afternoon as the
belated western trains tnmbled in several
hours late. with their roofs and steps en-
crusted with snow and ice Friends of
the long overdue passengers hung around
the depot all day and rushed to meet the
weary passengers every time train came
in Disappointment We're frequent, as
most of the trains were divided into sew
eral sections at Buffalo.
The Atlantic express. which carries all
the mail east OF Chicago and which was
due at $50 a. M, arrived seven hours be-
hind time. The New York and New Eng
land express. due at 2:55 p. M, arrived in
two sections. the first section being two
hours and twenty minutes late and the
second section tive hours late. The first
section brought with it Lake Shore
train from the west due at 1850 d. m.
Most of the western trains on the Penn
sylvania road We're also far behind their
schedule time. Great difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting the trains through
east of Pittsburg.
At the general postofflce this afternoon
it was said all matter east of San Fran
cisco was late. The 4R a. m. train. one
OF the heaviest in the service carrying all
the northwestern mail east of San Fran
cisco, did not get In until $50 a. m,
making it six hours and forty minutes
late. The New York and Dunkirk train
on the Erie, carrying all the New York
State mail, due at 6S9 a. m, had not ar.
rived at $3.50 p. m. Most of the other
minor trains carrying mail were also late.
Considerable property was destroyed all
along West street in this city, owing TO
the flooding of cellars. Large guam Nsles
OF perishable produce were stored in the
cellars along this street, and much of IL
was destroyed by the water, which In
many places was waist-deep. In several
OF the old-fashioned houses where there
We're no cellars the water came above the
flooring and office furniture could be seen
floating around the store ON the ground
floor.

CONDITIONS AFTER THE STORM.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 21The fol-
lowing will show about the condition
after the storm OF the several railroads
entering Pittsburg:
To-day through trains were running
on all the main lines, although most
OF them were behind time.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad ex-
perienced the most trouble. On the
main line the company managed to
keep the tracks open Sunday. On ac-
count Of landslides near Laughlin sta
ton. express trains for the east were
operated from Thirty-fourth street
On the Wheeling division the tracks
were under water between Elm Grove
and Wheeling to-day. Toward even
ing all through trains were moving.
but were greatly behind time. The ON
Gals were pleased, however. at being
able to handle traffic at all
On the Pittsburg & Lake Erie rail-
road matters were in fair shape to-
day. Saturday the tracks were mum
dated at number Of points and there
were several small wash-out.. For a
time it was feared u, water would rise
so high that all traffic would be su.-
pended between pittsburg and Youngs-
town. Affairs, however, did not get
SO bad, and all trains got out About
100 feet of the track was washed away
at Stobe This delayed trains Satur-
day night and this morning, but by
noon fill had been made and tenn
porary track laid. This enabled all
trains to get through, although little
behind time. On the Pittsbnrg, Nc
Keesport & Youghiogheny division
the main line TO New Haven was
closed Saturday until noon to-day be-
cause of high water and washouts. The
line was in operation to-day, although
trains were run slowly.
The Panhandle railroad experienced
most trouble on the branch lines 10
Washington and Wheeling. the tracks
On these branches being inundated at
many points and the telegraph wires
down. Local trains between Carnegie
and Washington were suspended Satur-
day. Some delay to through trains was
caused by heavy SHOWS Saturday in
Ohio. but to-day the through trains
were arriving and leaving on time.
The Pittsburg, Fort Wayne 4 Chicago
railroad was in the worst shape to-day
Of any OF the Pennsylvania lines. The
through trains from the west were all
behind time on account of the heavy
SHOWS west OF Crestline. Train No. 6,
due in Pittsburg at $50 p m, Satur-
day. did not arrive until $40 D. m. to-
day. No. 20, due at 2: 40 this morning.
did not arrive until 5 o'clock this after
noon. Nos. and 2. also due this morn
ing, did not arrive until after O'Clock
this evening. This caused corree-
