APRIL WIND HAD
A HIGH OLD Time
Mischievous Breezes Made
Trouble In Many Pa rts Of
Canton.

A number of trifling accidents atvar-
ious points about the city have been
reported as the result of Saturday S
high winds. Wires Of the Stark and
Central Union telephones were the
principal sufferers. About 30 phones
Of both companies were out of business
over Saturday on account of wires
blown down by winds and crossed up
with electric light wires.
Postal telegraph lines in all parts
Of the county were in trouble and COM
munication was much interiered with.
The Western Union, also, was affected,
mainly between Canton and Cleveland.
A glass case valued at $50 which stood
in front of mems furnishings store
was blown over Saturday afternoon
and wrecked.
Weather Observer Stokey reported
wind velocity during Saturday of
from 40 to so miles an hour, with a
considerable fall in temperature.

of trade may be we'll meaning by en-
dorsing this so-called scheme, and
since this controversy is on, many
opinions of fairminded persons have
been overheard, and the general opin-
ion is, that the board of trades views
ought to be modified. Some of their
claims are: That Tuscarawas street is
over crowded, which is true, and that
an other outlet is needed to reach the
cemetery, show grounds, fair grounds,
true. They also claim that the west
end people promised to give the east
end people safe road to reach these
points, and now the board OF trade
says II can only be done by building a
viaduCt across the swamp from Lake
stceet at cost of at least S175, 900. AS
to reaching the monument of our late
1amonted president, we think II is s'yet
too early to build an expensive bridge
to reach the place, before 1t Is definite-
ly decided upon where 1t shall be To-
Gated. Even If it should be built up
on the knoll, Lake street would not be
the most desirable route to reach It,
as it would only be beneficial to a
few interested parties, and the masses
would have to go miles around about
to get there as the majority lives
east and south of the cemetery.
And as far as giving strangers an op-
portunity to visit the tomb of our mar
tyred president, we think 1t would
be more advisable to take them In
the direct front way, than in the back
round about way over swamp As West
Tuscarawas street is over crowded
and dangerous on account of its double
track, for funerals, etc, and another
thoroughfare is so badly needed in
that locality in order to relieve Tus-
carawas street, we think the Lake
street viaduct would never help this
condition for the general demand and
traffic. as it is SO far out of the way,
and If it were built, there would i'm
mediately be another call for more
direct road leading to the above men,
toned points to relieve the crush on
Tuscarawas street, which would OF
course increase the expenses in addi-
ton to the viaduct and we think II
would be advisable to open the most
direct road fronting all these points,
which can be done at a small fraction
of the cost of that OF the viaduct, and
dispense with the expensive viaduct
and not increase the enormous in
debtedness which We now have. We
also think that the Massillon people
or any others would have.no occasion
to kick if this plan was carried out.
TAXPAYERS
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1902-04-29

Everything else is lost sight of in
the face of the high prices that are be-
ing charged for everything that the
public has to buy in the way Of food
products. 1t is discussed on all sides,
and housewives vainly try to figure
on how to keep expenses within their
allowances for table expenses.
The general impression is that the
conditions are not justified by the sup
ply and demand, which economists
always claim control prices. The law
of commerce was laid down before the
days of trusts. Ii is not now accepted.
Men in a day can corner the grain
market and send prices to the skies.
They can unload their holdings at i'm
mense Profits, and then let the market
drop back to it's normal condition.
The meat trust is responsible for
the greater part of the trouble in the
country. When meat was cornered,
ii became apparent that the egg and
butter markets were also being lam
pered with, as side issues. A demand
was created for other food products
and they too advanced in price.
The politicians have seen. danger in
present conditions. There has been a
howl against the trusts for many
years. 1t has figured to some extent
in the elections of the past. But the
people were never hurt SO much as
at the present time. Only one class is
not kicking, and that is the farmer.
He is sharing in the benefits.
The party in power is becoming very
much worried over the situation.
President Roosevelt and his interstate
commerce commission are making a
spasmodic effort to break up the trusts
and combines. Whether it is for the
welfare of the people or the good OF
the party is not apparent. The people
care little, so long as they get relief.
II something is not done, it is very
apparent that the laboring classes will
have something to say at the elections
in the future
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1902-04-29
In idle MOMENTS,

~ HERE are several places in Can
Il ton where neighbors do not gos-
sip with each other. They are indi-
Gated by immense tight board fences
10 and IL feet high that have been
built between the houses. They are
a great advertisement to the world,
more eloquent than the bill boards
covered with posters.
They need no placards to tell that
the women in both houses have scrap
ped, that the kids have got into hair
pullings and the men have taken it
up and are so afraid they will hurt
each other that a Chinese wall of q
fence is erected as a guarantee that
the peace will be preserved.
When a neighbor desires to build a
fence of that description, one that will
shut out the light of heaven and OBJ
scure the sights, 1t must be built who'll
ly upon his own land, or the other fe,-
low could go after him.
This animosity is not confined to the
cities where neighbors touch elbows
with each other. Farmers sometimes
get into fight over maintaining a
line fence and they get angry and each
wal build a fence of his own. This
makes a long narrow lane that is
known in local parlance as "the DEVILS
lane,v which is an appropriate title.
The DEVILS high fence might be ap-
piled to the bill boards in the city.
"Shirt waists and divided skirts"
IS the way Canton young lady de-
scribed the costumes that are to be
worn by what she called the SISSY
young men" this season. The panta-
looms are so wide that they very much
resemble the divided skirts worn by
the women.
The style when worn in the extreme
is very trying on slimlegged dudes
and they will be objects of interest
wherever they appear in the costume.
There is a possibility that policemen
may run some Of them in for going
about in female attire, until the blue
coats learn to distinguish the new
species of chappy.

AN OLD CONCERN
UNDER new Name

Reipcorporated With . capI-
tai Stock Of 100000.

At meeting held in the Office of ex-
Mayor McKisson at Cleveland recently
the Canton Mine Door company was
sold out to new concern incorporated
under the laws of New Jersey with
$780, 900 capital under the name of the

this deal it is expected that it's opera
tions will be much more extensive
than heretofore.
