How Cities Compare. :
@Ihe following comparison of birth
rates may prove interesting: -.

In New York city it has been discov-
cred that there has been great in
crease in the number of marriages and
the number Of births. Thus for the first
SIX months Of 1905 there was an in
crease Of 1863 births: over the CORE
spending period Of 1904 and an increase
of 1,473 marriages in the same periods.
when you come to think about it, !"
said Health Commissioner, Darlington of
New York, "'it seems very reasonable
that President Roosevelt s utterances
on the subject of large families has
affected the birth ratess here and else
where. What he said was, very widely
quoted in the newspaIsers and has occa-
stoned a wonderful amount Of comment.
.7.s Marriage as we Jail know, is a
sentimental proposition and Quite likely
to be Influenced by such declarations as
those which the president has made.
With everybody talking about the bless
iings which early marriages. and large
families bring, nothing is more natural
than that the young folks, and many
older ones, too, should say to each other
Let IS take Roosevelt g advice and get
married. With matrimony put up on
drift of the people that way, of course.
Prosperity also has stimulated both mar.
riages and births. - ~ ~ 49,.

/ Dr. P. M. Hall is, inclined to- believe
that Minneapolis will be able to show a
more encouraging trend in, the figures
For the first eight months Of 1904 there
were 2,877 births in Minneapolis, while
for the first eight months of 1905 the
figures were 1888. This is a substan
| tial increase. -.=se' - FL 1911.
In the same period there were. lila
marriages or ten more than for the first
eight months of 1904. Proportionally
this is much less than the figures which
arouse the enthusiasm Of the health
commissioner Of New York, but they
may be the forerunner Of still larger
return for the future. ~

THE WORK IN STARK COUNTY.

The Liquor Dealers organization of
Stark county has issued circular to
all its members to the effect that every
league member is expected to work
against the reelection of HOLES to
the legislature. HOLES colleague,
Welker, is not mentioned and 1t is
understood that he is satisfactory.
This circular was gotten out some
time ago and the News has waited to
see if there were any results in evi-

has been found and there is no doubt
that the liquor vote of the county is
being enlisted for Welker and against
HOLES. This being the case it may

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1905-10-20

The county board of election, the
last stronghold of the old Clark ma
chine, is entering the final stages that
will mark the elimination of Clark as a
weighty political factor in this county.
BY the grace of Secretary of State
Laylin, he has succeeded in forcing
upon the Democracy a member that is
distasteful, and the board as it is now
constituted permits itself to be used
as a creation of Clark's to punish his
enemies and to reward his friends.
Steps have been taken on both sides of
the political fence to see that there is
a change when the new members are
appointed next year. The chairman of
the Republican committee has been
told by this board to go where there
is no need of fuel, and the officers Of
the Democratic campaign committee
have been told to run along" and
leave things alone. No attention is
paid to the representative committees
of the two parties that are supposed
to appoint the members, and the ap-
parent disposition is to make as much
trouble and annoyance as it is possible.
When the next committee is chosen by
both of the polical parties in this
county there will be "doings" that will
be remembered,
