WITH SPEECH 4
AND MUSIC
EIks Laid Corner Stone
of New Opera House.

In the presence of crowd of cur
ious sightseers and large number of
interested persons, to the accompani-
ment of strains of music from the
Eighth Regiment band, and in a slight
driZZle Of rain and slush, the corner
stone Of the Colonial opera house, cor
ner Mill and High SITS. was laid Satur-
day afternoon by Akron Lodge of the
Elks. After reports and counter re.
ports, concerning the pans that had
opera house for Akron, after interest
had been aroused many times, only to
end in disappointment Saturdays work
was the first real constmmation of u
plan to furnish Akron with a play
house worthy of the size. of the CITY,
The ceremonies were in accordance
with the ritual of the Elks.
The members of the lodge formed III
line before their club rooms on Mil
st. at 3 o'clock, and headed by the
Eighth Regiment band, marched down
Mill to Howard, north on Howard to
Market, east on Market to Main, then
south ON Main to Mill, and the site
of the Colonial opera house.
Nearly 100 Elks We're In line, and
1 they gathered on platform that had
been prepared near where the stone
was to be laid. With the reading of
the ritual of The Elks the stone was
placed in position. A small box, con.
tanning coins, newspapers and certif.
Gates giving the names Of directors OF
the company, contractors and manager
of the house, was placed inside the
corner stone, which is at the north
west corner of the house.
The address of the day was made
by Postmaster L. s. Ebright. He said
in part:
"The eternal fitness of things, anC
the survival of the fittest, are two say
ings that have such common usage
that they have come to be considered
as axioms.
1T Is fitting that the Elks should bt
selected to lay the corner stone of this
playhouse. Founded only few years
ago, entirely by people who were en-
gagged in the theatrical profession, tn,
order has grown rapidly until it ha'
a membership of 10000 people, helC
together by the bonds of brotherhood
friendship and benevolence. The lay
ing of the cornerstone of structure
to be devoted to the works of the orig
inal members of the craft, comes nat
urally, therefore, 10 be a duty of tn,
Elks.
IL maintain that all things are good
out of which good comes, that there i,
virtue in everything that portrays tn,
triumph of virtue, that all is pure tina
protects and exemplifies purity.
Il believe that this institution, tn,
cornerstone of which we are. layin,
today, will be a power for the upliftin,
of the people, that it will be an aid t,
morality and will help to educate botl
the classes and the masses.

mo matter how excellent an actor
the villain in n play may be, with what
consummate skill he may prepare his
villainy, or play his part, ne is scorn-
ed by his audience from gallery gods
to the literati in the seats below. The
triumph of virtue, the success of a
hero or heroine in avoiding the snares
that have been set, and the final con-
founding of the villain of the play,
Is ever welcomed by all classes of peo-
pie. This, then is an evidence that
the influence of an Institution of this
kind is always for good.
May this opera house be ever a
benefit to the people of the city and
credit to their enterprise and intel,
appointed by f. w. Hunsicker, exalt-
ed ruler, had charge of the laying Of
the cornerstone:
e. @. Shaw, g. c. Berry n. p. Good
hue, A. j. Rowley, Will Christy, L. u.
Sisler and l.. S. Pardee. There was
not hitch in all the ceremony.
Mr.. G. f. Horn, the contractor, who
has the building in charge, announces
that the seating capacity of the new
house will be at least 1,S0O. The first
floor will seat 660 the boxes 80, the
balcony AGO, and the gallery 600.
There will be almost every innovation
that has been evolved in the building
OF modern opera houses. The regular
electric footlights will be supplement-
ed by row of gas footlights, and two
rows of gas border lights. The lights
for the auditorium will be both gas
and electric.
Natural gas will be used for heat
ing. A special feature of the arrange
ment of this opera house will be the
chairs. They are of new kind and
design and may be swung on pivot,
every two seats toward each 9TH
er. This will make an aisle between
every pair of seats and will enable
the audience to leave the hous in a
very few minutes after the conclusion
of performance. @.'"a
| The entrance, lobby and ticket Of
: fees will be on Mill ST., next to the
, office of the East Ohio Gas Co. East
J of the box office will be the gallery
entrance and another ticket window.
Glass doors will separate the box Office
from a lobby. From this place the
balcony entrance will begin. The au-
dience will face directly east and the
stage will take all of the High st,
frontage.
Many special arrangements will be
made for the comfort of patrons. There
! will be toilet rooms for both ladies
, and gentlemen, smoking room for
, men and retiring room for women.
1t Is estimated that the house will re-
. quire an expenditure of at least $780,
, 600, before being ready for opening
, The edifice, when finally complete, will
, be the equal of most playhouses in the
| country, in arrangement and conven
ience.

The Davenport Republican observes
that Nobody finds fault with Candi-
date Phillips because he has been able
to make some money thru efforts of his
own. He deserves credit for it. But
people do blame him for aspiring to a
position he is entirely untitled to fill.
He knows and everybody else knows
that he could not do justice to the posi-
ton of governor Of the great state of
Iowa.
The Clinton Herald urges that Iowa
ought to be getting interest on its state
funds that are lying idle. When the
state was short of funds no banker Of
fered money without interest. Now
when there is a balance, the state
should get interest.

clares that IF the politicians should be
compelled to dig that Panama canal the
country could save the capital so Ions
that the interest would pay for the
work"

BUILDING IN NEW ENGLAND.

All sections of the nation have been
sharing in the general prosperity of the
country, tho one section has little knowl-
edge of what has been going on in oth-
ers New England is one of the locali-
ties of which western people have had
little knowledge. The estimated. cost of
new building and engineering enter
prises turnout New England up to the
first of August figured up a total of
S113OSS, 900, as against s47,191,000 for a
corresponding period last year. 1t will
be seen that building operations In New
England are more than double what
they We're last year, and last year was
considered banner year.
When people are thriving, as in this
quarter of the nation, they are Inclined
to build new houses, mills, trolley lines,
etc. 1t will therefore appear that the
eastern states have not 'gone to seed,
but are still full of vigor and vim, and
while the currents of life may not be as
turbulent as in the west they are full of
healthful impulses. There is much
wealth there, and while large sums are
invested in the west, opportunities for
home development in an industrial way
are not being neglected.

DOES NOT FAVOR REpRIsA,s.

The statement is given out that at a
council Of four Boer leaders in Europe
all except President Paul Kruger adj
vised n policy of reprisals in South Az
RIGA, and that for every Boer prisoner
executed a British officer be shot. Mr..
Kruger opposed the measure. saying he
Gid not wish to give the campaign the
character OF war between savayes al
tho it already had become a war OF
determination. This is creditable, to his
heart, tho it may be suspected that he
sees that the end of Boer resistance is
not far away. 1t is certain that Gen.
Kitchener is setting merry pace, in his
policy of conquering a peace and In
furnishing some OF the captured with
death for treason.
The Boer bands in Cape Colony are re-
ported to be acting Independently and
with increased audacity. tho they seem
incapable of serious fighting. and ex-
haust their resources in looting. No re-
iprisals for the drastic British methods
OF dealing with treason in Cape Colony
have been reported. 1t is thought In
England that the change in policy has
been we'll timed, since the Beers are ap-
parentiy unable to take prisoners.
Even If policy of reprisal could be
inaugurated 1T would only incerlse and
relnvigorate the British forces and make
ii warfare of savagery that might lead
to q slaughter of many prisoners.

THE CITIZEN AND PUBLIC MAN.

Since President Roosevelt mas sIeacHeu
the highest position in the nation all
his acts and utterances are invested
with an interest for the people they
never before secured. Not the least
among these are the opinions I've ex-
pressed before he reached the iespon-
sible position he now holds. What are
his views of the citizen and the public
man? He believes that good citizenship
does not necessarily imply genius, but
it does demand honesty He quotes
Jefferson as saying the whole art OF
government consists in being honest.
vet he declares 1t is not the whole art,
but it is the foundation of all govern
mert. But the foundation is not enough,
In his opinion, and he goes on to assert,
that after honesty, as the foundation of
citizenship that counts in business or
politics, must come courage, physical
as well as moral. But honesty and
courage, while indispensable, are not
enough for good citizenship he adds.
| II do not care how brave and honest a
man is; IL he is fool he is not worth
knocking on the head. In addition to
courage and honesty you must have the
saving quality of common sense" In
! celebrating this thought he shows that
| the citizen and public man must be
practical and have good theories as
4 well. He adverts to the trainers; cf the
1 constitution as examples. "Tht'y were
4 not fools; and, therefore, they did not
insist upon an impossible best They
| We're not knayes; and, therefore, they
4 did not Insist upon the impracticable
1 best" What a commentary this is on
the small party cliques that hang on to
the ragged edge of possibility and lag
superfiuous' behind the great parties!
He asserts also that The fool and the
knave play into one anothers hands.
They do not think they DO, but they
do" What shot at the cranks
Discussing the need of being practical
ds a public servant. he believes that It
necessarily implies that man shall
have knowledge Of history as well as
of current practice. and above all else,
| he should thoroughly understand that
to be practical does not imply to be
base. In the long run being practical
/ implies being decent"
He thinks it does no good to resolve
against vice in the abstract. .All the
good comes from acting, in the concrete,
in a way that carries out in practice
the principles laid down in the abb
stract.' He would have an eleventh

THE SUGAR WAR.

[San Juan, Porto Rico, News
Luckily Porto Rico is not affected
by the big sugar war, reported by
cable in yesterdays edition. We can
wink and enjoy the battle as disinter-
ested spectators. We have sold Mr..
Havemeyer our sugar. all of 1t, for II
good price. If he wants to sell 1t for
less than he paid for it. to spite the
beet sugar growers, alright! The only
thing we would request of the big trust
is to be sure and have the fight all
over by the time we get ready to send
up our next crop. 1t should be about
time then to raise the price of sugar
a cent to make up for the loss during
the fight. That would be all right, too.
Blaze away, Mr.. Havemeyer, slash
them, put the beet fellows out of BUSH
ness. But do it quickly. neatly and
with dispatch, and have 1t all over by
January.
We believe that we are on the win
ming side of this big world game OF
chance, but If the war should continue
and prices become demora.ized during
the time our crop is ready for ship
ment, many profits in sugar on the
island might be wiped out.
The Louisiana crop is now pelns
marketed and If the prices decline Sc
.verely, it will be this crop which will
suffer most acutely.
OF course. 1t is almost foregone
conclusion that the trust in entering
upon such a war as this appears to
be, against the beet sugar growers. viii
close the short history of beet sugar
growers in the United States. The beet
sugar growers can scarcely make
living, even when the price OF sugar
is high. Last year many went 10 ,he
wall and many factories were closed
and the beet farms turned into other
more profitable agricultural fields.
The big cut made by the trust is sure
to discourage the beet Industry, and 1t
will compel the beet growers to come
to terms with the trust or go to the
wall
