millers, and filled with grain. broke
from its moorings on the Williams

boat across the river and succeeded in
catching the runaway lighter. The
lighter was moored to the bank just
below the ferry boat, from whence it
will be taken to the landing in front of
the mill as soon as the heavy ice Is

gize for the Democratic Councils of
the last three or four years. They
have made their mistakes and have
had their shortcomings. But it is
unfair TO charge them with RESPONSE
bllity for the present condition of the
citys financial affairs, when by the
rulings of Republican Solicitors they
have had no alternative but to ratify
the official acts of the Board Of City
Commissioners.
Only when the laundering and ex-
travagant administration has gone to
the limit Of the city's finances or
lawful ability to pay further claims,
does the law give Council power to
check the Boards raids upon the treas.
ury.
1t is an unwise law that gives the
people no opportunity to resist organ.
lied spolation until their city treas
ury first has been bankrupted- this
is the nature Of the law that was
forced upon Akron when the Board of
City Commissioners was created.
The people will try to have the next
General Assembly give them relief
from these conditions next winter, but
until they obtain relief they will know
enough to place the responsibility
where 1t bclongs-upon the subsidized
Board Of City Commissioners, which
for four years has been and is admin.

The effort TO convince the citizens
Of Akron that the long period of lr.

administration" is to deny that Akron
people have sufficient intelligence or
discrimination 10 accept the evidence
of their senses.
Akron has had change of admins.
tration-that is, the responsibility has
shifted from Democratic Council
and Mayor to Republicans, but tho
change has been only nominal one,
and the city Is governed in fact by the
same hidden ard usurplng Influences
as before.
The incoming administration gave
u great many campaign pledges of
how II Intended to reform the city. In
the first place the Republican Mayor
was going TO reform the Board of CITY
Commissioners by demanding the ap-
polntment OF men who had been select.
ed by conference OF the members
OF the party. He had not been in of.
nee half an hour until he violated this
pledge by giving Judge Anderson
quit claim deed TO the control of the
Board OF Commissioners.
And now the supporters Of tho Ad.
ministratIon, nndug that Tia. only
effective way to the reform OF tbe
City's Administration has been closed
BY their Mayors subseryience 20 the
plans OF a political boss, are trying
70 make a scepegoat Of past Demo.
cratic administration hoping that they
may thus postpone or escape the day
OF reckoning certain to come In the
near future.

that while private life is more serene
and perhaps productive of more
genuine happiness it yet lacks the
stimulus TO enthusiasm, strenuousness
and activity found in the City Commits

Perhaps it's only drollery on the

IT exists as II fact nevertheless, that

and incidenialsms, but In style
peculiar TO these contributors, omits
mention of big enterprises and thrifty
prosperity so common in Akron's daily
life. Hudson should look little out.

Hand in hand with the saving of
our shade trees is the protection of
song birds. The bcneticenr laws
which have been passed in recent
years looking to that protection are
bearing fruit, and the sweet voiced
orioles, robn-red breasts, red birds,
and others begin singing their happy
thanksgivings these typical May
mornings with the first dawn of light
The birds which are protected by our
laws are mans natural companions
They sing no sweetcr songs in the
dense wild woods than amid the
fragrant bloom of our apple or cherry
trees at our chamber window. They
want to love us, they want to be a
part of our lives, they want to cheer
us by their songs when the clouds
gather and gloom hovers over us.
They are not our enemies; they are
our best friends. They are not afraid
OF the noise and turmoil of adyanc-
ing civilization. The putting of steam
engines, the screcching of whistles
and the whrr of busy wheels have
no terrors for them. 1t was the
destructive whizz of the fobert rife
and the death dealing stone in the
hands OF a cruel boy which nearly
depopulated this country of native
song birds. The strong arm of the
law has put stop to this murder Of
the innocents," and the singing
beauties are returning to their native
and natural haunts, to bring JOY and
gladness to the heart of man.-Wads.
