the paper, and the answer 10 in the
handwriting OF Welker himself. That
there can be no question as to the
truth of the charges made, there is also
published the letters of the commits
sioner Of labor, showing that there had
been violation OF law in this case.
If any one wishes to know what the
teachers of Canton think of Welker and
his employment bureau, he can soon
ascertain by interviewing Prof Yohe,
one of the staunchest Republicans in
the city or any of the school teachers
who have been identified for years with
the history of Canton schools. That
they will not vote for Welker is almost
a foregone conclusion. If any one will
take the trouble to ask men of Mr..
Yohe's standing about Mr.. Welker,
they will receive information of an
opinion that would not look well in
print and might go far to convince the
inquirer that he should be defeated for
the position to which he aspires and
for which the greatest Endorsement SO
far appears to be that he is approved of
by the liquor interests of the county for
the work that he performed at the re-
cent session of the legislature

representative Welker and His "Ohio Teachers
Agency in The Lime-Light Of Publicity.

Representative Welker has been Civ
en- an opportunity of replying to the
charge that he has maintained an en-
ployment bureau to secure positions for
school teachers at a charge of per
cent of their first years wages, con-
trary TO the laws Of the state; not only
that, but he has been at the same time
a member of the board of school exam
liners that has charge of the examina-
tions of school teachers who seek cer-
tificates to teach. Notwithstanding
that Mr.. Welker has been given the
opportunity of replying TO these
charges, he has not taken advantage OF
the offer and there is little possibility
of his ever doing SO, but 1t has been
stated that he Is not connected with
the institution.
The News publishes in this issue fac

ticed that the fee is 81 down and com
mission OF per cent Of the salary or
income for one year from the time
when the teachers duties begin" II
the position is for less time than one
year, the commission is 7 per cent
On Oct. 6, 1904, the attention Of the
state commissioner of labor was called
to this employment agency, and it was
discovered that the agency had not
taken out any license under the state
law, and that Mr.. Welker was liable to
prosecution for such violation. This
was shortly after the time when there
had been many changes made in the
employment of teachers and school su-
perintendents in the city of Canton
and while Major Baird, president of the
board OF education, shared his Office
with Mr. Welker, and who was current
ly reported to be also interested in the
Ohio Teachers Agency.
AS is shown by the letter from the
state commissioner of labor, Mr.. Welk-
er had taken no license and was vio-
lating the law that made him liable to
punishment. A representative of the de-
partment came to Canton and con-
firmed the report 1t looked at the time
that there was nothing to do but to
prosecute, for the violation of the law
was fragrant. Welker began to get
busy, and after the bringing of pressure
the department decided to let him pay
the fee demanded by the state and to
take no notice of the violation of the
law that had taken place. On Oct. 81,
1904, the department wrote that the fee
had been paid, showing that Welker ac-
knowledged that he had been guilty of
violating the law.
In order that there could be no ques-
tion that the agency conducted from
Mr.. Welker's Office was in charge of the
Individual himself. the News had ap-
plicants to write to him, and one of the
replies is given in the present issue of

liquor interests. He introduced bill
providing that no one but an attorney
at law should have the power to ad-
minister an oath. This bill was intend
ed to increase the revenue of attor-
neys, of which profession Welker be-
longs. Then he voted for the increase
of salary law and to put the hiring of
school teachers in the hands of the SUI
perintendent OF schools. His actions In
the legislature were such as to almost
cause an open rupture with his col
league, and taking all IL all, his rec
ord is in entire keeping with his ac-
tions at home, and show conclusively
that the interests of the community
would be best served by letting him re-
main at nome.
A number of the leading Republicans
OF the party in Stark county last fall
asked the News to take up the case of
Wellter and give the facts to the people
SO that he might be defeated, and they
have promised to do all that remains
in their power to see thatit, is accom-
plished. In answer to this, the Liquor
League of the county has announced its
support of Welker. OF course, they
were.too shrewd to make the announce

ital would be made of it, go they have

announced their support OF Welker by
denouncing HOLES as being against
them, and by inference that Welker is
satisfactory. In this connection 1t may
not be out of place to say that there
is a bitter animosity existing between
Welker and HOLES, and 1t has been
epeply chaEgsdc that .Welker has been
scheming to throw the liquor vote
against his colleague so that the
small vote he receives can not be used
to show his unpopularity.

SlOYO Says Bandages Have Been
Torn From Peoples Eyes.
They viii No Longer Be Eithe r
Led or Driven.

St. Petersburg, May 31.-The catas-
trophe which has overtaken the Rus
sian feet has given a tremendous i'm
petus to the demand upon Emperor
Nicholas for the immediate convoca-
ton of a national assembly without
awaiting action upon the report Of
the Bouligin rescript. With the single
exception of the reactionary Sviet, the
press pours out indignation and
wrath upon the bureaucracy which is
held responsible for all the misfor-
and the Bourse Gazette, however, de-
clare that peace should be concluded.
The Russ, now the widest read paper
in Russia, says: 'sThose guilty of Rus
sia's disgrace should be overwhelmed
with shame"
1.-THE death of half million of
men," the Russ continues, land the
loss of millions of money is the price
of the rejection Of progress and vest
ern civilization. Sebastopol struck
the shackles from the serfs, and Port
Arthur, Mukden and Tsu island should
free Russia. from the slavery of the
bureaucracy"

is even more bitter. It says:
Enough. Blindfolded for two
years, the Russian people have been
marching to the brink of destruction,
but the bandages are now torn from
the eyes of 30,0000 600 of Russians,
and they will neither be led nor driven
over the precipice. Let the people
speak. The bureaucracy has had its
say, and has crowned its work of ma
| tional shame and humiliation. Let it
now listen to what those who have
suffered IN silence and who have sup
ported it in luxury have to say.
Bureaucracy Is Warned.
''From this moment a convocation
of the people has become as necessary
as the air we breathe. If the bureau
crazy this time stands between the
emperor and the nation. let it beware.
Let it remember the lessons of Rus
sian history-the history of the
zemsky sober of 1919 The Japanese
are not fighting the Russian people,
but the Russian bureaucracy, which
has rejected with energy the talent of
the nation for a host of sycophants
and time-Serving courtiers. Our only
consolation in this bitter hour is the
consciousness that it is not the peo-
pie but the government which has
suffered defeat. Enough!''
The Syn Otetchestva and Nasha Shisn,
two constitutional papers, are equally
bitter.
