The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1908-07-30

The city council in Youngstown is
about to pass an ordinance granting
a franchise to the street car company
operating in that city which con-
tains several loophoIes which the Tel
egram Of that city states should be
obliterated and calls upon Mayor Car
yer to veto the ordinance unless the
peoples interests are safely guarded.
The citizens of Canton were treated
in shameful manner some years ago
when the city council gave away a
valuable franchise to the local street
car company and it was not until it
was too late for redress that the err
rors were discovered. The Telegram
is right in voicing its protest against
the proposed iobbery on the part of
the Youngstown council and should
be supported by the citizens of that
city in its efforts to secure for them
a square deal.

SHALL THE "WETso CONTROL
THE NEXT. LEGISLATURE
(Alliance Review.)

Senator Drake, of Erie county, in
his fight for denomination, secured
only three out of forty-eight delegates
to the senatorial convention in the
18th district. Drake was the deciding
factor in the work Of the senate tenn
perance committee of the last legis-
lature and always cast his vote for
the dry measures. His utter rOut is
a great victory for the "wets." Sew
eral other instances of this kiEd Nc
table among them being the defeat of
Representative Harper, of Summit
county, loyal temperance worker In
the last legislature. Harper's vote was
made his fight on his record as tenn
perance man. The liberal interests
are aroused as never before. and un-
less the temperance voters are more
loyal to their candidates and more
active, the next legislature viii De a
wet legislature and may-may-un-
do some or all of the temperance leg
islation already enacted,
Some temperance advocates may
treat the situation lightly and even
scoff at the suggestion of wet leg
islature. But look at the results in
the 18th district, in Summit county
and elsewhere. The fight for control
of the next Legislature is on and it will
be urged unrelentingly every hour and
minute from now until the polls close
November 8.

THE EAST BACKWARD IN POLL.
TICS,


(From the Indianapolis News, 1nd)
The tone OF the comment in leading
papers in Boston and New York on
the Denver convention is notable in
this: It's similarity to or identity
with the tone of eight years ago. It
is not discoverable that any of these
papers has examined the conditions
and differences which make the
Bryan nomination of 1908 unlike that
of 1900. The comment might be YER
batim that of eight years ago, barr
ing changes to make the present
date fit. The point of the observa-
ton is that the East--if these papers
speak for it-has learned nothing.
The name Bryan is sufficient.
We are not holding a brief for Mr.
Bryan. We are simply saying that
the wise papers of the East have
failed to discover that 1908 is not
1900, or that anything has happened
to and with the American people dur.
ing these eight years. A great thing
has happened in that time. We do
not refer to the many almost revolu-
tionary things that have happened in
the world of our politics since then
things done and the altered view that
has followed the doing of them. They
are sufficiently marked one would
think, albeit they are not marked
enough to affect these public ammo
tators. But greater thing than this
has happened, namely the people OF
the country are capable of judging
the public questions and deciding for
themselves as never before.
There has been a political educa-
ton in these recent years in this
country, to which the world affords
lar rights has given ii exercise. The
people have found for themselves-
and ought to have shown for all men
that they are to be trusted. They
have proved that they are not anarch
istic because they resent the un
equal distribution of burdens and ben
efits and that they can regulate
and not confiscate. But to all this
the wise men of the East seem to be
blind Mr. Taft and the new Wall
street understanding may prevail
But any attitude of mind that looks
on this country in this year of grace
1908 as being the same that it was
even four years ago is fixing for itself
a great awakening, indeed.

THE WAY TO WIN OUT.
Louisville conrier.Journal.

LOUISVILLE COurler-Journal.
From an old friend, high in the
Judicial armament of New York, the
Editor of the CouriersJournal has re-
ceived letter touching some matter
recently appearing in its columns, from
which we take leave to quote the fol
lowing:
"A united Democracy to the Rescue
of the Republic" is most inspiring
article, but our Eastern great dailies
Democratic CD of course), don't re-
publish it.
Il do earnestly hope that Bryan and
Kern will be elected. What a needed
lesson would thereby be taught to
to those who believe that aggregated
wealth typifies the Almighty, and what
courage would come to the vast ma
jority who have the right to oppor-
tunity and happiness uncontrolled by
the protection-fed, SNUG lovers OF
their fellow-men.'
Campaigns cost money. The Re.
publicans will raise and spend in var
ious and devious ways more than ever
was raised and spent before in presi-
Dental contest.
"Our party must have some money.
Large contributions cannot be looked
for. ] believe, with Mr.. Bryan, that
the conscience OF the people is
aroused That being SO why is it not
practicable to organize in every state
committee on popular campaign sub
scriptions,' which shall keep a full and
Df sYNtr Nd fa
bursenlents, to be published a week
before the election?
"Over 100000 men voted for Mr..
Bryan in 1900. Is it not probable that
vigorous hearty appeal in the name
of the cause. would yield an average of
fifty cents each? If $3,000,000 were
thus raised it would do more service
than $40 100000 levied by our oppo-
nents upon those who look for benefits
at the ratio of ] 900 for 1.
THE battle Is momentous one. II
I were not 'hedged in by the proprie-
ties of my position, nothing could keep
me from exerting myself to the utmost
as patriotic duty"
There is a world of both truth and
suggestion in the foregoing, and it is
submitted at once to the readers of
the CouTier-Journal and the managers
of the Democratic party as counsel
and encouragement from quarter en-
titled to very great respect. Messrs.
Bryan and Kern have made their ap-
peal to the farmers. This is additional
and supplemental thereto, With hall
the amount indicated the Democrats
can win the election.

TARIFF FooLIsHNEsS

(From the Hartford Courant.)
1t is an old saying that the best ar
gument for free trade is the custom
house. Here comes another iIlustra.
ton of this. The library of Congress
imported certain colored wood en-
cravings, which a young American
girl had executed in Japan. The
library officials omitted to explain the
facts. The alert government repre-
sentatives on the dock promptly de-
clared that these were "manufac.
lures of wood" and slapped the 35 per
cent duty on them. The grave ques-
ton whether these are works of art
by an American artist abroad" or
manufactures of wood" is not vet
finally determined; but all the hula.
baloo is over the governments right
to import what it wants free of duty
1t surely looks simple to a simpleton

VACATION TIME

Noting that Secretary Luke E.
Wright of the war department Is the
only member of the cabinet on duty,
the Boston Herald's Washington
correspondent observes by way of
comparison that long vacations un-
der the Roosevelt administration have
become the rule" Secretary Metcalf
has been back at his desk only few
days since he went to the Pacific
coast to greet the fleet on its arrival
there. Secretary Garfield left the cap
ital June 2 for Hawaii, and is now
back in the West studying things
there which come under the jurisdic-
tion Of the interior department; his
tour of inspection is to end at Hot
Springs, August Is. Secretary Wilson
left for his Iowa home July 3, and is
not expected back until September
Secretary Root has been with Mul.
doom and is now at Clinton, N. Y, to
remain until the fall, but he always
keeps in touch with state department
matters. Secretary Cortelyou is at
Huntington, L. l., to spend the rest of
the summer, Attorney General Bona
parte is located at Lenox, Secretary
Straus is summering on the north At.
lantic coast, and Postmaster General
Meyer is enjoying a fishing trip in
Canada. The newest member of the
cabinet, with a record to make, has
the official deck all to himself.

1t is said that the procedure of
the commission appointed to deter
mine on and direct the repairs to
the court house is greatly worrying
certain contractors who wish to sub
nit bids for the work. The commits
sion, it is said made an estimate of
the cost of the work and placed it
on file and have SO far given no in
formation concerning it to those who
wish to bid for the work. The mem
hers say they know just what they
have to expend for the work and
want the contractors to submit their
bids. If they do not come within
the limit of the estimate they will
be thrown out. for that reason il for
no other. 1t is the idea of the com
mission that the work can be bar
gained for a lower rate under the
system adopted.

Eoraker,s Boost Eor ram.

Praise for the personality of Will
liam Fl. Taft, Republican nominee for
president, and criticism for him in
that he favors the Roosevelt policies,
formed part of speech delivered by
United States Senator j. B. Foraker
before the chamber of commerce in
Cincinnati July l.. The occasion was
what has been termed Re-employment
or Sunshine day. Senator Foraker
declared that the business depression
had been caused by the Sherman anti
trust law and the Hepburn railway
rate law and that it was being con-
tinued by the promises of tariff re-
vision. In speaking of the future, he
referred to Mr.. Taft as man who
in character is all that could be desir-
ed" and he was interrupted by cheers.
When the applause had ceased he
continued "but unfortunately there is
one fatal weakness in the candidate
in that he favors a continuance OF the
so-called Roosevelt policies, of which
we have already had far too much."-

THE SUNSHINE SONG.


Many of the Metropolitan news
papers are encouraging their readers
to believe that there is return of
prosperity. Not promised prosperity,
but the real thing-on paper,
The Brooklyn Eagle reports that
there is actually a shortage of un-
skilled labor at Pittsburg. As Brook
lyn is evidently doubtsulq of the
amount of prosperity on tap and still
in the dumps, the Eagle tries to rally
the spirits of its citizens by saying:
"Pittsburg does not mince matters.
1t has no doubts. 1t does not hesitate
to say that prosperity has returned.
1t points to the railroads having their
headquarters in that city, and shows
that they have ordered their repair
shops on double time. 1t points out
jubilantly that many of the railroads
have been caught short Of cars in this
sudden return of prosperity So the
car building companies are preparing
themselves to meet the big demand"
There has been, it is true, a studied
attempt to revive business at Pitts
burg, but the improvement is so
small as to hardly be noticeable and
there are still thousands of men un-
employed. The fact that there are
miles of unemployed engines and cars
on side tracks, over 100000 of them,
and that the gross earnings of rail
roads are still showing a large loss
from last year. hardly proves the
truth of the claims sent out by the
Pittsburg Sunshine Club boomers.
The Chicago RecordHerald is an
other organ of the Sunshine Club that
sees real signs of improvement" and
echoes the same inspiring song from
Pittsburg.
1t will be noticed that the Sunshine
songs are always about prosperity
in some other city than where they
are published. Prosperity is as elu-
sive these days, and as slippery to
pin down and hold, as a Republican
politician. In fact, the Record Herald
lets the cat out of the bag and plainly
shows that these Sunshine songs are
for political effect for it concludes by
saying: ~~ -
"And now for sane and rational
presidential campaign, without silly
and needless alarms and dire pro.
phecies, in the interest of reviying
prosperity as well as for the sake of
the general fitness and decency OF
things"
That, of course, means that the
people must be fooled into believing
they are prosperous, even If the din
ner pail is empty or has but little in
it. Vote for Taft, the prosperity re-
viverr and keep the Republicans in
power for sake OF the general fitness
and deceney of things"

CINCINNATI ELECTION FRAUDS
How a Man Can Vote Under Name
Not His Own and Make
Money at II.
(From the Citizens BulIetin.)

(FrOm the CltlZenS BulleJlD,)
At about o'clock on the day of
last falls election a colored man en-
tered the polling place in precinct F
of ward 18, and sought to vote under
the name of Charles Haggard. His
right to vote was challenged by the
Democratic judge, who asked him to
write his name in order that his sig
nature might be compared with that
which appeared in the registration
book. The alleged Charles Haggard
then confessed that he could moi
write, and was thereupon arrested at
the instance OF the city party's wit
ness, Royal l.. Melendy. He was taken
to the first district police station,
city hall building, and the facts as
stated above were given to Lieut..
Copeland, who was then in charge
In the presence of Lieut.. Copeland,
Officer Beckman, Mr.. Melendy and
others, the alleged Charles Haggard
confessed that his real name was
Robert Jackson. AS no warrant had
been sworn out for Jackson's arrest
and as the police court clerk refused
to permit Mr. Melendy to swear out
a warrant, on the ground that no war
rants are issued after o'clock,
Lieut.. Copeland set Jackson free.
A few days later, however Mr..
Melendy had Jackson arrested on a
warrant sworn out before Esquire
Smedes Jackson confessed his guilt
before the magistrate and was bound
over to the next grand jury The
body returned an Indictment against
him, and when arrraigned in the com
mon pleas court jackson again
eonfessd his guilt. He was not
sent to the penitentiary, however,
but detained In jail In order that he
might be used as a witness in two
other cases that were pending. Not
withstanding the fact that his testi-
mony in these cases proved utterly
Yalueless, Jackson, the many times
self-confessed criminal, was not only
given mis- liberty, but in addition the
sum of $157 as witness fees-$1 for
each day of the 1877 days he had spent
In the county Jail
What do you think of according
such treatment TO man who had
committed a crime, the minimum pun
ishment for which is two years in the

sMALLER NEWSPAPERS NOW.
From the Northampton, Mass,
Gazette.

From the Northampton, Mass,
Gazette.
Measures are being taken in and
out of Congress to reduce the drain
upon the forests for wood pulp for
paper makers. AS the newspaper
press of the country is the great and
Unsuitable consumer, the direct way
to economic would be to reduce the
size of their sheets, especially of the
great metropolitan dailies and week
lies. These journals are SO large as
ever handled, and to read one through
is a bore. Sundays are in great part
occupied in looking over the issues
of the day, which often include up
ward of Sc pages, and then the dill
gent reader has only skinned the
news and is all tagged out. The cry
of the lay reader to the editor is:
Give us a rest Save the forests
and spare our lives as well" If the
big dailies will but reduce their
sheets by one-half, all persons con-
cerned, in and out of the newspaper
Offices, will be the gamers in health,
purse and comfort and be all the
happier for the change.
