1t Promises Much For
the City.
TO GIVE EMPLOYMENT
To Hundreds Of Men--Struc-
tural Steel Car Company's
Plant Can Be
Secured.

If the business of Canton could re
alize that the bringing of the Struct
ural Steel Car company to this city
means the employment of hundreds OF
men, they would better appreciate the
advantages to be secured.
New families mean new buyers for
all kinds of merchandise, clothing
shoes, household utensils, furniture,
carpets, groceries and provisions.
The new company will without
doubt be the best and only plant of its
kind in the world, and is destined to
become known the world over.
They have inquiries now for cars
from Africa, Australia, England, Swe.
den, Italy, South America, and have
connections which will give them a
very large business in the United
States.
While recent subscriptions encour
age the hope that this city will Sc
cure this enterprise, the delay in com
pleting the subscription list means a
great deal in securing business now

With full list Of subscribers inside
OF q week, cars could be completed
and delivered this year.

self credit, will benefit the city and
will doubly help an enterprise Of merit

At the meeting of the Democratic
state committee it was announced that
there would be no joint debate between
Colonel Kilbourne and Governor Nash.
This is as it should be. Joint debates
are unsatisfactory and not prolific of
results. Partisans always spoil
them, and political managers have a
way Of manufacturing applause for
their particular side that is wholly out
Of proportion to that what the candi-
date has just said. So Colonel Xii.
bourne and other Democrats will talk
to audiences without interruption, and
the spellbinders on the other side will
do likewise, though what they are go.
ing to talk about this year is an en-.
igma. There will be numerous speak.
ers on the Democratic side. Besides
the candidates on the ticket, a number
of speakers of prominence have been
invited to come into the state. These
include Senator d. b. Hill, Hon. Will
liam ]. Bryan, Hon. A. P. German and
others. The campaign in Ohio this
year is to be lively one. The De
mocracy has good story to tell and
from the selection of speakers it is
the evident intention of the committee
to have it well told.

The story is told very briefly in
Cleveland. Through the efforts Of
Mayor Johnson the city board of equal
ization-unlike many boards of equali-
zation that usually put on the iupli-
cate just enough to pay their own sal
aries-added s2O,OoO,0OO to the tax du-
plicate. This came from the street
railways, the lighting companies and
some other big concerns that had been
avoiding their just share of taxation.
The result is that the levy has been
reduced four-tenths of mill at once,
aid will be reduced still further, as
funds continue to come in, under the
new valuation. That makes the mat
ter just as plain as it is possible to
make 1t. II the railroads and other

Attracting a Great Deal Of At

One Of the most attractive displays

they have on exhibition are artisti-

in a. business house or home.
The gentlemen in charge explain
the advantages and moderate rates to
the visitors at the fair, and take espe.
cial opportunity to have the farmers
understand the benefits of phones in
the rural districts.
Their system is being perfected all
over the city of Canton and connec-

been made, and patrons of the com

they can communicate, and it is one
that is constantly increasing. Their
phones work elegantly and when the
new building is completed and they
get into their new quarters, which will
be soon, tho system will be an ideal
one. Those who have the phones in
at present are more than pleased with
the returns they receive for the small
outlay of money, and workmen are con.
stantly at work wiring additional
houses and putting in phones, so That
every day the number Of connections
increases.

promised to take hundreds Of structural

the promoters in position to accept
them. Not week passes but what in

II is safe to say that the establish

an assured. fact. Enough wealthy and

in 1t to obliterate the possibility Of a
failure. 1t is merely question Of how
soon acti;'. operations can be COM

they would not be delayed long.
The inauguration of such an enter

Again we urge upon those who have
