To the Editor of the Democrat:

rejoicing by the majority of the read

myself. TO observe The decided stand
taken by the clergymen of the city, 10

people to perform their sworn duties
without fear, favor, affection or dis
elimination. The laws Of the state and
ordinances of the city apply equally
to all, with special privileges to none,
The powers and duties of officials are
clearly set forth, and may not be dis
regarded with impunity by such offi-
cials, from commissioners down to dog
catcher. The executive officers of de-
partments, (for we unfortunately have
no one real executive Of the city, we
made such by the votes of the people,

them can also impeach andremove them
for manifest incompetency, abuse OF

AN AKRON TAXPAYER,

Gives Some Substantial Advice to the Church
Voters.

To the Editor of the Democrat:
The ministers of the city seem to
be highly incensed over the way the
laws are being enforced by the officials.
particularly the Mayor and Chief of
Police, and are loudly proclaiming
their indignation through the pulpit
and press. Now the present state of
affairs is no worse than it has been
for years, and what have these same
ministers done in the past to better
the condition of affairs: Last spring,
when some of US wanted Mr.. Adam
son for Mayor, IL man we all know be-
longed to no clique and who had the
win and the nerve to enforce the
laws, did these ministers work for his
election? No. they did not. On the
contrary. some of them came out and
boldly advised the people to vote for w.

Doyle would enforce the laws against
the saloons when he had his cards up
in the saloons and was asking for the
vote of the saloon element?
Why Is it the city officials do not en-
force the laws against the saloons?
Because they dare not. The saloon
element elects them and they dare not
offend that element.
We had recently church census ta-
ken here and we We're told that with
the exception Of about a thousand. all
the population are church members.
Are we to conclude then that the
church element and saloon element are
synonymous?
If the ministers and their church
members elect men to Ill official posi-
tions who are known to be in sympathy
with the saloon keepers, fail to see
how they can expect to have the laws
enforced.

@Pinpuno Ia Pingpong,s rival.

The peer Of pingpong has been In
vented In a new game on which the
title OF "piffpuff' has been conferred.
The new pastime, which may eclipse
pingpong in its own field, Is described
by New Zealand exchange as table
game, played with a miniature pair Of
bellows and an air ball, which is very
light. At each end OF the table are
outstanding goals, and the play lies In
directing the ball through the oppo-
nent's goal. This, by stroke Of
luck, may be done in few minutes or
1t may not be accomplished in a night.
The authority on ''piffpunr'' comments
on the hazards Of the game as follows:
1.-THE ball In no way confines itself to
the table, as too vigorous pun may
send 1t circling upward TO the ceiling,
and the player, nursing his impatience,
stands awaiting his opportunity to gen.
tly blow II back into place."

The Sandow girl is I'm style. The new

looks twice as wide as she is, says the
London Times In her skirt she looks
narrower. for skirts are very clinging.
and they are fitted as far down as the
knees. But with the waist it is differ
ent. Here the figure must be broad
and apparently muscular, so that the
midsummer woman comes very near
being top heavy.
The new waists are made with the
shoulder plait This is a fold Of cloth
which is put on in such a manner that
It projects over the shoulders. In cer-
tain shape 1t is called the "Gibsonian,"
and its immediate effect Is TO make the
shoulders look very wide. II is really
more becoming to a slender woman
than to plump one, but both styles
are wearing ii, and you are gradually
getting used TO the woman who looks
twice as broad as she did in the spring.
Sleeves display the same popularity.
They are tucked in rows Of tucking
running around the arm. and they are
trimmed with bands of lace going
round and round, all OF which tend to
make the sleeves large and the arm
big.
