To the Public, Greeting:

In my issue of store News" issued
January 20, 1901, l made some state
ments that | still firmly believe
came to Akron stranger, believ-
ing it to be the best city of its size
In the United States. Seeing is be-
lieving | know this to be true now.
and think Our Akron still the best
place, and that it will be a city of
100000 sooner than any of us expect ii.
1 still firmly believe in handling the
best goods, sellingsfor cash, against
the use of trading stamps, tickets and
schemes. Surely our people of Akron
can see some of the evils of this way
of doing business.
| still firmly believe that IL there is
one place where cleanliness and sani-
tary rules should be observed, that
place should be your grocery. We do
not handle coal oil, gasoline. poultry,
or tobacco. Simply deprive ourselves
of this profit, SO that our Wagons and
building remain clean, your butter
and flour is all the better on this ac-
count.
We do not believe in selling bulk
oysters to our trade. Can any of you
wonder at this? Have you Travelled
about, seen empty oyster tubs stand
ing out on the pavements?
We made some errors last year, and
SO did you-perhaps.
We endeavored so far as it lay in
our power to adjust each error to the
satisfaction OF the other party, and
we hope TO make fewer errors this
year. We say fewer, because If we
claimed to make none, you'd know we
were either impractical or untruth.
ful.
You can help us in being more per.
feet by telling us of our shortcomings;
friendly advice when given in the right
spirit always does good. We are
ready to listen at any time.
You have given us during the past
year a line of business which we
appreciate and can anticipate no pleas.

The walking Fern.

The walking fern has a most original
way of getting over the ground. 1t
bends its slender frond and starts a
root by extending the tip of the mid
rib. So it sets up new plant and is
anchored fast on all sides by its rooted
frond tips, covering the ground with u
rich carpet of verdure. The variety of
runners along the ground is as great as
the climber. All motion of the plant
is form of growth. The plant grows
by day and by night. but more by day,
as light and heat are incentives to
growth.-Youth.

Miserable Pittance the Miners Re-
ceiVc.

If we are to accept even the state
days wages for 26.27O men employed
at the Reading mines is $1.S9. The av-
erage annual wage, therefore, would
be S296.2O. President Mitchell, of the
Mine Workers union. affirms, how
ever, that the annual wage is not in
excess of SPAS. And from this amount
he deducts 500, the charge for rents.
the cost of powder and oil and the
annual fee to the company's doctor.
The miners net annual wage is. there
fore, about S14s. The figures cited
by President Mitchell are probably
the correct ones. He has offered to
substantiate them if the company
shall permit him to investigate the
books.
The miner has $14S to spend annual
ly for food, clothing and fuel. If he
is absent from work through sickness
or other causes he does not earn this
much. Doubtless the correspondent
will conclude, along with every other
sane American, that these wages are
not sufficient. The head of a family
can well appreciate the difficulty he
would have in supporting his wife and
children and educating the latter on
the munificent amount of S14S year.
The injustice the miners suffer from
is glaringly apparent when his wage
earnings are considered, and this

The postotfice department will prob
ably make profit of between $4,000
and $4,000 this year from the sales
of stamp books. The books have only
been in use for a comparatively shOrt
period and have proven 50 profitable
and convenient an article of sale that
considerable anxiety was caused to
department officials by the recent
controversy with the bureau of en-
craving and printing regarding the
poor quality of paraffine paper used
in the books. which caused the
stamps to stick to the leaves and
rendered them useless. Numerous
complaints were received at the de-
partment and the sales of books fell
off considerably. Now, however. the

grade of the paper and the sales have
largely increased.

Man orExperience Wanted for Coun.
ty Treasurer.

There is no office within the gift of
the people in the control of which ii
is more desira BILE. or indeed, more eS-
sential. that the right kind of man
be placed than that of county treas
urer. Honest motive is not the only
requisite where the tax payers are
choosing the keeper of their strong
box. The tax payer owes il to him
self that he weigh the worth and cap
abilities of the applicants just as he
would were he deciding question
affecting his business or private af-
fairs. As an instance, no one has
ever questioned the honesty and up
rightnesS of the present county
treasurer. p. F. Cox. Ample test.
mony has been given to this fact in
the unreserved expressions of sympa-
thy and good will that have attended
the misfortune that has overtaken him
in the loss of a tremendous sum of the
taxpayers money through plain
case of Encouragement of the all i'm
portant Office of county treasurer.
Through no deliberate fault on his
own part. thousands of dollars of the
peoples money have been squandered
and Mr.. Cox has lost the savings of Il
life time: and all account of the con-
duct of his deputy in whom too mucL
confidence was reposed.
The lesson to be drawn from this
state of affairs is that the people
should elect to the office of count. ;,
treasurer, not only an honest man,
but one who through experience and
qualification is competent to attend
strictly TO the office and not be oblig-
ed To- rely upon a subordinate to dis
charge the duties.
In his conduct of the office of dep
uty internal revenue collector George
w. Henry. the democratic candidate
for county treasurer. applied himself
studiously to the prescribed duties.
and did not entrust any part of his
work to others. He looked after
matters himself. and consequently at
the end of each day knew everything
that was going on. If Mr.. Henry is
elected county treasurer he will be
county treasurer. He will know
what is going on.

Republican Admission as to the In

Importance of its admission as to the
effect of protection in the control Of
the coal situation. The Tribune now
joins in the appeal of the democrats

its editorial columns:
Senator Lodge opposed the plac-
ing of u Canadian reciprocity plank
in the Massachusetts state platform.
but he is for reciprocity with Canada
as regards coal. He said last Satur-
day: L hope that in congress next
winter bill will go through taking
the duty off Canadian coal, provided
Canada agrees to take the duty of
our coal The senator desires free
coal, SO that the New Engle nd manu-
facturers may have cheap power. and

revive. The other day Eugene Foss.
