The Way the Chicago Art Company
Worked in Lincoln.

Orville N. Gilbert, collector for the
American Art Publishing company of
Chicago was arrested at Lincoln early
in the week and his arrest has brought
to light some OF the methods of that
company in which about 70 Norfolk
subscribers to their scheme should be
interested. At the time their agents
canyassed Norfolk THE News passed a
few remarks about their plan of giving
away considerable property for nothing
with the statement that their offer bore
q close resemblance to fake and one
of their agents called at the office and
made strong threats of what his com.
pany would do, alleging that the state
msnt was hbelous. The State Journal

OPEN LETTER
Canton. o.. Dec. 20.

canton, o., Dec. 20.
News-Democrat:- Nov there
appeared in the columns of your paper
an article, headed Teachers to Form
Union" Since reading the article and
our body having. had meeting. we,
the teachers deem it advisable to con-
slider certain features of it, and reply
to the report. Owing to the fact that
a wrong impression in regard to the
matter is gaining headway, we think
il necessary to make various correc-
tions.
In bold type 1t is announced that the
principle object is to force raise in
wages" This is an injustice; whilt
ore of the objects Of the organization
is to letter the condition of the teach
er ultimately in the matter Of wages,
the word force is very strong word
and never was intended to be used in
this connection by the union. Further
more. The usegof the word principal"
conveys the idea that our efforts are
to be centered upon the raise of wages
er affairs which enter into our profess
sion, fully as important to the teacher
and citizen as the matter of wages
Amongst which may, be mentioned
school room appliances and .eonven-
fences; course Of study; supervision
and gradation; the obtaining of teach
ers' certificates; a better understand
ing between teachers as individual
parts of the whole; and between the
profession, as a body and our boards
of education"
We differ with the gentleman who
originated the thought, as expressed in
the article that "the school boards" dc
not regard our services as worth very
much. Their attitude is simply con.
trolled by economic influences.
We have no fight with the boards" b"
Every teacher should be proud of his
profession; and our sole purpose in
this move is to make the profession
something to be proud of.
The article states that, the meet
ings will be held every two weeks in
Canton" At the conference referred
to, no action whatever was taken In
reference to time or place of meeting,
neither was it decided to Join the
Central Labor Union" that is mat
ter of future consideration.
This reply is ventured with the hope
that any erroneous cogitaticns IN the
minds of the people, and especially
those directly interested may be dis
abused.
We claim that justice to the teach
ers of Stark county demands it.

Their Search for the Messiah Typical
Of Our Search for the
Truth.
REV. HERBRUCK'S CHRISTMAS TOPIC

The service at Trinity Reformed
church Sunday morning was a Christ
mas service and large congregation
assembled to participate in it. Rev.
Herbruck's theme was The Wise Men
From the East" his text being taken
from Matthew 2:1-2: Now when Jesus
was born in. Bethlehem of Judea, in
the days of Herod the king, behold
there came from the east wise men OF
Jerusalem"
The speaker gave a word picture OF
Herod the king and also the visit Of
these wise men, filling in the scripture
record with the details as he fancied
they occurred. Their long journey
being led by the guiding star. the in
terview with Herod, the calling of the
council which came to the conclusion
that the rumored birth OF this new
king must have taken place at Beth
lehem the subsequent visit of the wise
men to the manger cradle and their
homage to the heavenly babe, we're
described in graphic language aAG pre-
sented to the audience in a realistic
way.
The search of these wise men for
the Messiah was used as being typical
of our search for the truth. 1t was an
earnest, and diligent quest in which
they had to make frequent inquiry, but
which was finally rewarded with sue
cess"
I'VE sometimes blame our children
! for being inquisitive," said the speak
er. but why should we? John Locke
says, The only way to get knowledge
| is to ask questions and wiser man
than Locke said Seek and ye shall
| find Therefore, when our children
question us we ought not rebuke them,
but rather encourage them. Though
we cannot answer some of their ques-
tions, to discourage inquiry is to dis
courage the search of knowledge, for
that is the way children learn. In
deed, that is the way men must learn. y
"Skepticism is an Interrogation
point. They way to quiet it is not by
violence, but to give 1t all possible op-
portunity to learn. The cure for doubt
is not TO place hoodwink or blind Oh
the eyes, but q telescope or micrc-
scope or anything that will increase
mans knowledge. There was time
when it was considered wrong to look
through telescope. That was the
time of intellectual darkness and stag
nation The times of progress have
been those when investigation has been
free and untrammeled. Anything you
can learn Of this universe will do you
no harm. for the universe was made by
Cod and is a relative Of him. All
truth is worth seeking after and this

is especially true in the province of
spiritual things. Mans best and mob
lest quest is after the spiritual light
To learn about God is one OF the
sweetest things of life and to know
Him is life eternal. God always in
terposes on behalf of every sincere
seeker for truth. Some tell lis That the
wise men of our day do not find Christ
that all scientists are atheists. that
their search does not lead them to
Bethlehem. But these are empty words.
All honest inquiry leads to the man.
ger Only the novice misses his way
and loses himself in the midst OF

Every honest seeker will find Christ
at last. God never yet left man In
the lurch who sincerely desired to
solve the problem of his destiny. A
seeking soul finds seeking Savior.
Somewhere in heaven the star Is set

TO LET CONTRACT
FOR new LIBRARY
Mr.. Csrnesie's Additianai Gift
Makes u Possible for Tsus-
tees to Act - Will Meet
Tuesday Eveniuq.

The additional gift of $4,000 for the
erection of the Canton library makes il
possible to let the contract and the
board of trustees of the library asso-
citation will hold meeting Tuesday ev-
ening for that purpose.
After Mr.. Carnegies gift of $4,000
was made to the city, Architect Guy
Tilden prepared plans for such build
ing as was desired, but the estimates
it was found, exceeded the appropria-
tion and when Mr.. Carnegie's atten-
ton was called to the fact. he agreed
to add $4,000 to his gift on condition
that the city increase its appropriation
for the support of the building in pro-
portion. This would increase the city
share to $4,000 year.
Bids for the work we're received
some time ago, but they were in excess
of the $4,000 They will be taken up
and considered at the meeting of the
trustees Tuesday evening and the best
hid will be accepted.
In anticipation of tho early building
OF the library, Contractor John Skeeles
put a large force of men at work Mon
day morning tearing down the old
building which is located upon the lot
at the corner of Eighth street and
South Cleveland avenue. The ground
will be cleared up within a few days
n
building will begin at once and will be
pushed as rapidly as possible.
The city has already made an ap'
preparation of $4,000 for the purose OF
buying additional books. These will
be secured gradually and it is expected
by the time the new quarters are ready
the library will be one of the best
equipped in the state in a city of the
size of Canton.

Two Akron SWANS Use Their
Fists to Decide q Case Of
Rivalry.

Akron, O., Dec. 22.-It has just come
to light that two Of Akrons promi-
nen3 young men recently became en-
gagged in a duel in this city, and
pounded each other in true pugilistic
style until one Of them was compelled
to acknowledge his defeat. 1t is al
.eged that the duel was arranged by
the young men in order that they
should see which had the right to
claim the affections of prominent
young lady of Akron.
The duel was fought in basement
Of a downtown store. and had the ap-
pearance of a genuine boxing bout
The men stripped to the waist ant,
pounded each other for nearly an
hour, when one of the young men be-
came so weak that he thought best to
relinquish his claim to the affections
OF the charming maiden.
