A NEW OFFICE
BY BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Its incumbent, If Decided On, Will Do Nearly
All Committee Work.

The board of Education has come
to realize that man cannot conduct
his private business conscientiously
and give to the School Board the at
tention which he feels that work re-
quires, for economical expenditure and
best results.
Mr.. James suggested at the last
meeting that some plan for the
better care of the property Of the
Board be devised; that special COM
mittee be appointed to devise the plan
and report at Tuesday nights meet
ing.
The report of the committee. Of
which Mr. James is chairman, provides
for a radical departure from methods
hitherto in force. A new position 10
created, calling for man of wide gen.
eral learning and enormous executive
ability, who will be obliged to do
most of the work and most OF the
worry done by the whole Board. The
position will command salary Of
$1,000 to $1,SO0 year, if the plan is
adopted by the Board. Part of Mr.
James report follows, and provides
for many things, namely:
The establishment of an office for
purchase and supervision.
The employment Of man in whose
charge shall be placed all the grounds
and buildings and movable property
of the Board, who shall have such au-
thority and power as may seem ex'
pedient.
The duties of the Office to be to CO.
operate with the Board and its COM
mittees in the construction, repair and
care of such property, and the pur-
chase of all supplies.
Specifically, among others, would be-:
The examination of all drawings
and specifications for new work to
ascertain the suiiiciency Of the sans
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-08-14

and advise as to their practicability
10 tabulate all bids which may be
received and prepare contracts for the
execution OF work to be done.
To actively superintend all work of
whatever character with the full au,
thority of the Board to compel observ.
ance of all agreements.
10 make such drawings as may be
necessary for the proper execution of
repairs and alterations and secure the
execution of the same.
To carefully record on set of plans
for either new work or alterations, all
such items as will constitute a full
and complete knowledge of such parts
Of the work as are not open to OBJ
servation after the work Is COM
pleted.
To prepare, during the school year,
all plans for general repairs and pre-
sent the same, with itemized esti-
mates of the cost at near the close of
the school year, to the proper CON-
mittee.
To be fully informed as to new ap-
pliances for heating, ventilation and
sanitation, prices, sources, ETC., of all
material used by the Board and to be,
come thoroughly informed on all mat.
tiers pertaining to machinery etc., to
be used or in use
In short, Mr. James man would dc
practically all the work now done by
the committees of the Board.
The committee believes that 81 SOC
to $1,800 year, with a small sum In
addition to equip and establish the
office, would be sufficient salary.
At Mr.. James suggestion, the mat.
ter was not acted on at the meeting
Tuesday night as the committee de-
sires that the Board give the matter
careful thought and consideration and
act upon 1t later.

NPSNUi SOiiShopchoS'NN'l
Columbus, Aug. 14.-Hon. +. S. Mon
nett, retained as attorney for the
American Antitrust League, last ev>
ening submitted to Secretary of State
Layln list of questions relative to
the Statutes of the Ohio Companies
supposed to be controlled by the Steel
Trust and to the attitude of tho de-
partment toward them. 1t is his pur-
pose to show that not one of these
companies has complied with the Ohio
laws governing foreign corporations and
that the Secretary of States depart
mnet has been negligent in its duty
toward them.
1t is well understood that none Of
the companies has complied with the
laws to which Mr.. Monnett makes ref
erence and that the Secretary of State
has not molested them. 1t is Mir. Mon-
nett's conviction that the state officials
in threatening at this late date to bring
proceedings against the companies, are
merely attempting to secure material
for the campaign. He asked Secre-
tary of State Laylin last evening for
a written reply to his queries, but Mir.
Laylin refused to grant his request,
and to the newspaper men, said he had
nothing to say about the matter.
Among the questions submitted by
Monnett are:
Has the American Sheet Steel Com
pany, doing business at Cambridge,
Canton, Dennison, Dresden, Niles,
Piqua, Canal Dover, Struthers and
Wellsville, filed in your department
statement under sections 14Sc and
14Sd, r. S., stating the number of
shares Of authorized capital stock of
such company?
Has it furnished you with state
ment of the value of its property own.
ed and used in Ohio and the amount
and value of its property used out,
side of the state of Ohio?
Has said corporation complied with
sections 14Sd aud paid the franchise
taxes therein required, based on the
amount of its capital stock?
A great many questions are asked
and the query closes with:
If they or any Of them have not COM
piled with such sections, has the Sec,
retary Of State requested the Attor.
ney General to institute an action
against said companies or any of them
for the violation of either of said sec.
tions, in compliance with the provis,
ions of said sections, for the benefit
of the state and to be paid into the
state treasury, the penalty being $1,000
for every monthly omission? If they
or any Of them have not complied, has
any criminal prosecution been insti,
tuted in compliance with said sections
against its officers or agents or have
any fines been imposed hereunder?

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

A correspondent asks us why taro
is not cultivated at the Settlem ment
on Molokai. Taro is cultivated by
private individuals who are inmates
OF the Leper Settlement, at the
Waikolu valley where water is
plentiful and the soil we'll adapted
to the cultivation of the Hawaiian
staple food The Government,
however, instead of encouraging
the men who have taken up the
lands and put them in cultivation,
demands such an exorbitant share
in the products that the planters do
not feel encouraged to continue
their enterprise The lands in Wal
kolu we're lying idle and no revenues
could be obtained from them. The
lepers we're idling, although admit
ted that it would be beneficial for
them il suitable work could be
found for them to distract their
minds from their illness. Poi was
frequently scarce at the Settlement
and it was considered an excellent
idea when it was proposed to give
the Waikolu lands to such lepers
who might desire to plant taro and
sell it to the Board Of Health. The
Government did not "give" the
lands, however. 1t demanded from
the planters one-fourth of the gross
earnings, a proposition that never
would be entertained by any private
concern or parties. 1t means that
planter after waiting a year for
his crop to mature, after paying the
wages of his laborers and other ex.
penses in cash during that year
would be called upon to pay one
fourth of the gross amount fol
which he sold his taro. Say, for ex
ample, that his crop brought him
$1,000, and his expenses amounted tC
500, he would be called upon tc
pay to the Government $3.50, and
for his years work and risks he
would net $50. Under the circum
stances in connection with tarC
cultivation at the Settlement the
Governments attitude ia simply
outrageous, and the Legislature
should see to it that taro planting
by lepers is encouraged aud not dis
couraged as it now is.

The Republican is highly indig-
nant because the High Sheriff
grants the regular showman's license
to Papa Ita. The anti-police organ
claims that the High Sheriff might
as we'll give license to sure
thing" gambling outfit as to the
Papa TIA "fake" performance. The
The High Sheriff is not supposed
to act as censor OF the merits OF a
show and watch that the audience
gets sufficient guild pAo quo for it's
money. He is simply the censor of
the morality OF the show and it is
his duty to stop any exhibition con-
trary to decency and the good mo-
rails of the community. We have
yet to learn that there is anything
in the hot.stone walking of Papa
TIA. Whether his exhibition is a
fake or not is matter OF opinion
A large number of people believe
that Papa Ita has done what he
said he would do and they are salts
fed The Republican is the only
paper which yells "fake" while the
other newspapers say that there
may be trick but that the walking
by the Tahitian across the stones is
genuine and not fake. 1t is puerile
for the morning paper to draw a
PARALLEL between Ita's exhibition
and gembliug concern. There is
a law here making it au offense even
to look at game where anything
of value can be lost or won and that
is sufficient good reason for the
High Sheriff to decline issuing
licenses for surething gamblidg con-
cerns. We are not aware that any
thing OF value is lost or won at the
Papa TIA show. The admission fee
may be considered loss by those
who didn't like the show but that is
very oftens the CAGE at our theatres
where man feels very mnch dis
appointed and mad for having
parted with his good dollars to see
and listen to such "rot." The
High Sheriff has troubles and sins
enough OF his own aud his force to
attend to without being called upon
to iact as censor of every show
which comes along and decide how
much it is worth paying to Sc it.

FOUND THE ENDS.

An Irishman who was out of work
went on board a vessel that was in
the harbor and asked the Captain if
he could find him work on the ship.
"Well," said the Captain, at the
same time handing the Irishman a
piece of rope, elf you can find three
ends to that rope, you shall have
some work"
The Irishman got hold of the end
of the rope, and, showing it to the
Captain, said, "That's one end, your
honor" Then he took hold of the
other end, and, showing, it to the
Captain as before, said, "And that's
two ends, your honor" Then, tax
ing hold of both ends of the rope,
he threw it overheard, saying. "And,
faith, there's another end to it, your
honor"

1t IL this condition that DR.. Hartman
calls systemic catarrh. The whole Gys-
tenn is saturated with catarRh. Thisdis-
Covery marked an important advanOsin
the history Of medical science. The
medical profession had long been crop
ing t discover the meaning OF the stub
born and distressing s~fteH-effects Of IL
grippe. All remedies seemed alike In
adequate.
As o Is Dr.. Hartman announced
that it was his belief that the after.
effects OF La grippe was simply sya-
temic catarrh,a great advance was made
In h treatment Of these cases. Il o
only remained to find q reliable remedy
for systemic catarrh.
Here a new difficulty arose. CaAazRh
had been regarded by many physicians
as a local disease and treated solely by
local remedies. Such physicians knew
of no systemic remedy for cataHrh.
Other physicians regarded catarrh q
blood disease and had been in the habit
of treating it with blood medicines,
which could be Of no possible use in
systemic catarrh.
For a time Peruns enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the only systemic ca
tarrh remedy known. It was not even
claimed by anyone that there was an.
other remedy for this ex~asperattng CON.
dition.
Since then, however, a great many
remedies have been proposed for sys-
temic catarrh, and a great deal OF val
liable time wasted in experimenting
with other remedies. But it still re-
mains true that Peruna is the only spe.
cif1c remedy for the a~fter-effects of la
grippe. The demand for this remedy,
in consequence of the present epidemic
Of la grippe, is enormous.
Mr.. J.P. Lowery, proprietor City Hotel
Albany, Texas, says: Being advised to
try Peruna for la grippe and asthma, I
did so with good results. I had been
feeling very unweu for a long time, and
had asthma quite bad till 1 came West,
when 1 got better Of the asthma, butwas
not well. tried . great many remedies
for it, but nothing was able to cure me.
"I took three bottles of Peruna and I
am happy to say that it is the Destined
icine l e. used. l am satisfied that
Peruna is a good medicine, and as such
have commended it to several of my
friends with good results. It is seldom
l give a testimonial, but I think this due
you. 1 hope others may be benefited
through you and your medicines"
Every one should read DIR. Hartman's
latest lecture on Ia grippe. This lecture
will be sentf free by The eruna Medicine
Company, Columbus, Ohio.

GRANDPA's WAY.

Ny grandpa is the strangest man!
Of course I love him dearly;
But really it does seem to me
He looks at things so queerly!
He always thinks that every day
Is right, no matter whether
1t rains OF SHOWS, or shines or blows,
Or what the kind of weather.
When outdoor fun is ruined by
A heavy shower provoking,
He pats my head and says :"You see,
The dry earth needs a soaking"
And when I think the day too warm
For any kind of pleasure.
He says: ''The corn has grown an
inch
/ see without a measure"
And when 1 fret because the wind
Has set my things all whirling,
He looks at me and says ''Tut tut !
This close air needs a stirring !"
He says when drifts are piling high,
And fence-post, scarcely peeping !;
Chow warm beneath their blanket
white
The little flowers are keeping"
Sometimes I think, when on his face
His sweet smile shines so clearly,
1t would be nice if every one
Could Q things just as queerly.
