The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1901-08-13


Democracy could have made a better
choice than Mr.. DeFord. He is one
of the most courteous and oblsging
business men of the county, man
of ability and sound financial integ-
rity. That he will make strong run
wherever he become known is an as.
sured fact"
The mysterious visit of Senator De-
Doe, of Kentucky, to Canton, few
days ago, has beeen explained. A
widow, who has been postmaster In a
Kentucky town for sixteen years, has
been ousted to make way for q politi-
cal friend of the Kentucky senator.
Is it possible President Mckinley
countenanced this ungallant act?
Attention is called to the fact that
while Schley made one loop" at San
tiago, Dewey made no less than FIVE
loops" at Manila, one OF them three
miles long, and right in the middle Of
the fight drew all his ships off and
served breakfast. "Loopist" Dewey
seems to be well placed on the court Of
inquiry.
When Senator Hanna goes to Can
ton he says 1t Is only for social chat
with the president, and judging from
the number Of times the senator has
been there they both must be awfully
fond OF social chats.-WOoster Daily
Republican.
You have undoubtedly noticed that
Senator Foraker does not go to Can
ton-Wooster Democrat.
Senator Foraker is not a man who
enjoys whispering into an ear that, for
him, has no tympannm.

Judge P. NJ. Smith, of Wellsville, has
a plan to put chronic offenders to work
Chronic offenders" were put to work
on the roads in Stark county, one time,
and there was great howl about it..
They were withdrawn and no work Of
consequence has been done since. The
county would have been just SO much
farther along in the good roads pro-
blem if they had been allowed to con-
tinue.
An intricate question in regard to
the power of religious faith has arisen
: in Paterson, N. j. Last night during
terrific storm in that city, when life
seemed to be in danger, devout wo-
man arose and sprinkled every mem.
Der of her family, as she supposed
with holy water. They all escaped
safely, and the storm abated, but in
the morning she discovered that she
had sprinkled them with bluing in
stead of holy water. This teaches us
that in religious matters the will is
often taken for the deed.-Chicago
Chronicle.
The bar association of southern Col
umbiana county decided that, during
the vacation period of three weeks
that had been agreed upon, any mem
Der who did any work should turn over
the money to common fund. II is
now proposed to give a banquet with
the money taken in, as some of the
attorneys were forced to work There
are some attorneys in Stark county
who would not have to turn much into
such a fund If the vacation period ex-
tended over the er tire year. Some of
them would probably Ne glad to have
even the three weeks rule apply here,
for at the end of that time somebody
would have offended sufficiently to
furnish them with the luxury of a
square meal.
Stark county papers report a SEN
sation at the infirmary. 1t is alleged
the superintendent got very sweet on
a new cook-a widow, who is flair,
fat and forty" The superintendent al.
leges the woman was new hand
and he had to be around the kitchen
a good deal. He discharged two girls
who rubbered.-Carroll Chronicle.
The Chronicle possibly puts the mat
ter little too strong. Thus far 1t
has only been shown that the super
intendent had had his hand on her
shoulder. But the board investigated,
or says II did, and found that what.
ever the superintendent did was all
right. At any rate, the boards silence
in the matter passes for an endorse.
