The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1901-08-27

as being splendid host, 1t was not
known then that he contemplated
handing in bin to the committee. 1t
was embarrassing to the committee
when the bill came and must now be
embarrassing to the president Mr..
| Scott, though millionaire, has simply
developed into very cheap citizen.
The Cincinnati Enquirer suggests
that the southern Republicans are still
for Mark Hanna for president. But
they can't vote for him, under Demo-
cratic election laws, till they learn to
read and write. And when they learn
to read and write, they probably will
not want to vote for him.
Vanderbilt says that inherited wealth
is terrible thing to have. STILL If he
wants to make the average young man
his heir, the aforesaid average young
man would probably be willing to
chance it.

The Columbus Press-Post, known as
the "newsless newspaper" is not an in.
teresting publication save in the fact
that il is newsless, but its proprietor,
whether he is right or wrong, is at
least game.
Carrie Nation seems to be on the
wrong track in Cleveland. She has
turned her batteries on the resorts
and the breweries, when she ought to
take note that, during the past few
days the waterworks has killed more
people than the booze works.

Somebody has been telling on the
Ravenna Democrat. Here is a para
graph from its latest issue:
Every community is cursed by the
presence Of class of people who make
1t their business to attend to every
body's business but their own. Such
people are the meanest specimens of
depraved humanity which an all-wise
Providence permits to exist on this
earth.

Since Cresceus sprung into promi-
nence, the Toledo Bee is getting very
horsey.
They are probably going to buy a
frame for the spring platform with
what they saved, or, possibly, made,
on the change in the text books.
Mrs. Rebecca Upton, of Unionport,
has gone suddenly insane with the
strangest presentiment on record in
the probate court. She was advised
to use matted milk. The word matted
in some way suggested to her that she
was Maltese cat and she began from
that time to lap the milk, or other food
given her, like cat, and she contends
that she is Maltese cat. 1t is not
known just what effect it will have on
the public when they get to using pas
teurized milk in Canton. Some people
will probably confound the pasteuriz-
ing with pasturing and go crazy on the
theory that they are cows. And when
fellow goes crazy on sterilized milk
he will probably think he is a steer.

The sentiment of those who were at
the infirmary Saturday, was that the
county needs additional buildings and
that the old wooden building is not
| fit for human habitation. But this
sentiment was also backed by the sen.
timent that there ought to be less
! iobbery in the construction Of the
buildings than there had been for
merly. 1t was not forgotten that a
board of examiners had stated that ar
chitects and others were said to have
special pull. What the result Of the
election on the question of issuing
bonds to defray the expenss of build
ing new structures will be in conjec-
ural but there seemed to be a senti-
ment in favor of putting few Demo
Gratis in Office to see that things are
done properly. 1t is generally con.
ceded that affairs of the county have
been conducted on better basis when
there was a difference in the political
complexion of officials.
