Dr. W. H. Kinnicut, of Cleveland,
who delivered the lecture on The Rule

was attended by a large crowd. The
church was filled, and those who at

and rightly too, by impulse" he said.
After that age is reached, the scheme
for correct living must be one of re-

wisdom of not following his inclina.

After the lecture had concluded, q

EvADING THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The way TO the salary grab was not
discovered by the firemen ana police
men. IL was pointed out to them by
city oflicials-and in manner tllat
should be condemned by every citi-
zen.
When the employees in these two de-
partments asked for more pay, they
were told by II number of the city
officials that they should have it, and
that their requests would be granted,
II Il way could be found whereby the
increases could be made without STIR
ring up too much public sentiment
against the city officials.
"Go to Columbus" they were told,
"nnd have bills passed then, our legis-
lntion will be merely in obedience TO
the order of the Legislature"
All of which would have been very
sly and cunning, had the plan not been
discovered Now, If the bills are
passed, the public will not tolerate
any wry faces among the city officials
while they are carrying out the orders
OF the Legislature, at the expense of
tile taxpayers.

The Canvass For Church Census Was Not
Entirely Completed Saturday.

The religious canvass of Akron took

very few sections were covered. Mr..
A. III. Cross, who had the work in
charge, had planned for 300 visitors,
but owing to the rain storm which
came up, only $50 ladies appeared,
which was the cause of few sections
being unvisited Saturday. These

are doing our best to give them honest,

We believe that conditions justify
our request for more pay. Akron is

pays her police $40 month, with the
promise of S75 by the middle of sum-

Living expenses are now higher
than they were some years ago, and
we are required to keep ourselves
dressed in uniforms similar to those
worn in metropolitan cities. Our ex-
penses have increased to point
where little more than living can
be obtained for our families from our
present income.

ed of our department..
Our going to Columbus with bill
providing an increase in our salaries
was in pursuance of advice given
us by city officials, and with the en-
dorsement of the Mayor, the four men,
bers of the Board of City Commission
ers and 10 of the IL members Of
Council. We were further advised that
this was the right courcc by many Of
the best citizens of the city, whose
judgment we never questioned.
The situation in city politics has be-
come such that we believe it works
to the detrlment of our interest, to the
extent that neither party feels like
assuming the responsibility of increas-
ing salaries, through fear that the
act would rebound to their i'll politi-
cally. By going to the Legislature,
1t was argued to us that we would
thereby avoid making the matter a
political issue for either party. What
we want, is to avoid complications-to
steer clear of political cntaDglements,
