LEAN SHOW FOR OFFICE
SEEKERS.

The change of presidents on March
will mean less to offlce-seekeTs than
any previous transfer of the presiden-
tial office. Spoils hunters will find
the picking slim. In the old days the
weeks Immediately following inaugu-
ration day brought to Washington
thousands of place hunters. ITO the
victors belong the spoils" was the
watchword. 1t mattered not whether
republican succeeded a democrat in
the White House, or a republican a
republican. The demand always was
for a general change in the ofice-hold-
ing force of the government. And the
demand was needed by the president
and members of the congress. Even
after the civil-service law was enact
ed there were still plenty of official
prizes worth seeking. But as a grad
ual development of the policy of re-
tanning men in Office the list of places
that are open to the fspoilsmen after
the advent of new president has
decreased until the man who feels
that he is entitled to apme reward for
the service rendered in the campaign
finds but little encouragement.
brought about within the last IL years.
When Mckinley came in in 1897 the
hungry and thirsty" Jared splendid
ly. There was clean sweep of the
democrats who received appointments
outside of the classified service dur
ing the last Cleveland administration.
Since 1897 the republican workers
have not had much show. Mckinley
entered on his second term in 1901
without disturbing any of his appoin-
tees of his first term. President Roose-
welt, when he succeeded Mckinley in
the fall of 1901, showed little dispo-
sition to make many changes. Some
of the best of the Mckinley appoint
ees of 1897 are still in Office. While
the general expectation is that Mr..
Taft will make clean sweep so far
as the cabinet is concerned, the prob
ability seems to be that he will be
slow about displacing a great many
so-called Roosevelt appointees in the
unclassified service here at the capt.
tai. This feeling is probably based
on the general knowledge that the
Roosevelt machine, If it may be call
ed a machine, and the Taft machine
are one and the same. That is to say,
that it was the Roosevelt appointees
in the unclassified service who did
valiant service in obtaining the nomi-
nation for Mr.. Taft. One thing is
obvious: These Roosevelt appointees
to the desirable places in the unclas-
sifieG service who made haste to climb
on the Taft band wagon after they
were assured that Roosevelt wanted
Taft nominated do not expect to have
to get out OF the public service. There
will be one long wail of despair IL they
do have to go back TO private life

THE PRICE OF MILK.

We notice-as the rustic editor
would remark--an item from our rural
correspondent at Pekin, China, from
which we learn that thirty wet nurses
have been engaged to furnish susie
nance to his cross-eyed majesty, the
think it would pay them to buy a
COW, although it is true that women
are comparatively cheap over there,
and it may be that good Jersey
would cost more than the consignment
of two and a half dozen wet nurses
that they have ordered.
At any rate, we are come to just
about such a pass in this country.
Judging from the price of milk, and
taking into consideration the difference
in milk as we buy it and milk as we
remember it from our boyhood's happy
days down on the farm, we should
judge that the cost of the up-keep of a
COW must be something frightful. The
action of the Chinese court in ordering
thirty head of women looked at first
sight like extravaganza, but maybe it
was economy.
There seems to be no room for
doubt that nature was guilty of an
error in foresight when she provided
that young children should live on
milk and that nothing else would sat
isfactorily take its place. She over
looked the coming of the big, crowded,
pauper-filled cities, where babies don't
get milk that is real.-Omaha World.

THRILLING WITH COAL SUPPLY.

A university professor makes the
prediction that "in the near future"
alcohol will replace all other materials
as fuel and light. Until that time ap-
pears and the prediction is fulfilled,
however, it is well to look to the re-
sources at hand, including coal.
Can you, by any stretch of the
imaginatiin, conceive a pile of coal
containing 24O,O0O,OO0 tons? 1t is an
immense quantity. And it appears all
the more staggering when it is consid-
cred that that amount was wasted last
year, and that the production Of coal
entails a waste of from 35 to 40 per
cent of the whole output every year.
This is not taking into account that
there is also an immense waste in the
consumption of the product, through
loss of energy or its misapplication.
What must be the outlook? 1t has
been pointed out that the supply of
coal is fast disappearing, and that it
will have been exhausted within a
comparatively few years. Is not the
question of the conservation of the
coal supply almost paramount con-
sideration? Why should man be per-
mitted to trife with the resources that
nature has given him of her bounty,
lavishly and without stint?

PNEUMONIA DAYS ARE HERE

The season is rapidly approaching
when pneumonia will manifest it's
presence. This disease is one of the
most dangerous which humanity has
to combat, yet, with due care, the
danger of contracting it may be great
ly reduced. There are very few cases
in Canton now, but the time of year
is at hand when the disease may be
expected to become prevalent.
Whether pneumonia is a contagious
disease is yet an unsettled question,
but it is not catalogued among those
which physicians are required to re-
port to the health office. However,
it is believed it should be.
People should dress warmly, par
ticularly women, who, at fashions
behest, wear low-necked dresses, or
who insufficiently cover their chests
and who wear low or thin shoes. Fre-
quent bathing to keep the pores open
and plenty of air in sleeping rooms is
decidedly beneficial. Some people
have it born and bred in them to
sleep in closed rooms and the vitiat-
ed air is highly detrimental.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.

The foot-and-mouth disease, or vesi-
eular murrain, which is causing cattle
breeders SO much trouble at this time,
was first known in this country about
1871, when it broke out in New York
and New England, and was supposed
10 have been imported from Canada.
While it is contagious disease, and
causes great loss whenever it breaks
out, 1t is a disease that is easily
handled, and it ought to require but a
short time to eradicate it.
The disease Is confined to animals
with a cloven hoof. Horses do not
suffer from It. Sheep and cattle are
it's greatest victims, and while it is not
transmitted through the air, 1t is easily
contracted by an animal coming In
contact with another having the dis
ease or with an object against which a
diseased animal has come in contact.
The first symptoms of the disease is
Chilliness, followed by high tempera-
ture, soreness and lameness. The ami
NAL infected seeks at all times to lie
down. About the third day after the
disease has manifested itself, blisters
break out in the mouth and between
the hoofs. II not treated, the hoof rots
off. The blisters break and leave raw
Bores, and much suffering follows.
The disease can readily be cured by
proper treatment, and ten or fifteen
days ought to find the animal entirely
rid of the plague, If so treated. The
treatment is cooling lotions applied to
the infected parts, absolute cleanliness
of quarters in which the animal is con-
hned, poultices or caustics for the feet,
and cool. soft food.
The railroads which have carried
stock infected with foot-and-moutn
disease are taking every precaution to
prevent its spreading, and the various
stock yards are doing all they can to
stamp 1t out. With such cooperation
1t ought to be but a few weeks until
the country is comparatively free from
The disease.
But 1t will never be free unless the
farmers themselves cooperate to
stamp 1t out. This they can do by
lsolating every animal that contracts
HE malady, and disinfecting the barns
and stalls, where any such diseased
animal may have been confined, AS
soon as the disease breaks out upon a
Farm the farmer should lose no time in
lsolating the animal and disinfecting
his buildings. for after all It is the far
mer who must pay the expenses of the
nisease. The railroads and the stock
yards may suffer for short time on
account of IL. but the farmer is the one
who will eventually pay the cost OF a
continued epidemic of the disease.

AERO CLUB
Anniversary Celebrated
by Flight Of
"Ohio"
WENT OVER 3 STATES

The first anniversary of the Aero
club of Ohio was fittingly celebrated
Saturday by a flight in the balloon
Ohio" which three states-Ohio,
West Virginia and Pennsylvania
were passed over. The occupants of
the balloon were DR.. Thompson, Sa-
lem, pilot; Louis Brush, Salem, and
William Fornes, of Canton. The bal.
loon landed in Washington county,
Pa, at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon
after a flight covering about 100 miles.
All of the aeronauts, after a highly
enjoyable trip in every respect, were
able to return to their respective
homes late Saturday evening,
The Saturday ascension was made
somewhat Unexpectedly. 1t had been
previously announced that an ascen-
sion would be made as soon as the
weather became fitted for such an
event. On Saturday, while the bal
loonists were compelled to sweep
the snow away so as to secure a spot
for imitation, ideal weather prevailed,
and not the slightest trouble was had
in getting started. A very small
crowd had gathered to witness the
ascent.
The balloon travelled in a south
easterly direction, and shortly after
noon it was seen passing high above
Malvern. A very high altitude was
maintained during the entire flight,
the highest point reached being 5000
feet. AS the balloonists neared the
| Ohio river, they had the novel expert
ence of drifting through a snow
squall, sight which impressed all of
the occupants of the balloon by its
grandeur and beauty. The Ohio river
was crossed at Toronto.
Upon their descent, the balloonists
at once proceeded to Pittsburg, after
giving instructions for the shipment
of the balloon to Canton. Fornes ar
rived home late Saturday evening,
highly elated by the success of his
first venture into the realm of aerial
navigation.

GRANGE FAVORS TAX FOR
ROAD IMPROVEMENT 7

At meeting of the Stark County
Pomona Grange at the Sponseller hall
at New Berlin Saturday, resolution
as preliminary step towards secur-
ing the establishment of a one mill
tax for road improvements, was adopt
ed. The resolution provides for the
appointment of committee to call up
on the board of county commissioners
for the purpose of bringing about the
establishment of such tax under IL e
new roads law.
Two hundred members of the grange
were present. Fifteen new members
were initiated. Resolutions to be
brought up at the state grange meet
ing at Columbus next week, were
passed in addition to the good roads
measure. At the state grange meet
in, Pomona Grange will be represent
ed by John Sheets, of New Berlin,

also be said that one need not pay the
one any more than the other unless
he is foolish enough to want TO follow
the fashion and wicked enough to be
willing to profit by this. The tips sole
reason is that thus one selfish person
seeks to get for himself a little better
attention than is in the ability or the
inclination of the tipped to give to
everybody. In other words 1t is di-
rect bid for special privilege at the
common expense without any justifica-
tion of return.
The tariff is different. Its theory is
that by taxing all of us for the benefit
of the few these few will be so CRATE
full for what we do for them that we
will get back all and more than we
give. But most of the tariff bene-
ficiaries so far have taken the precau-
ton to get all they can, and keep it
pretty close in hand. Our steel mills
took no chances running when the
times were panicky, though they could
have kept trade going by shading
prices without any actual loss to them
selves.
But they shut down and left the
cities to furnish work for their idle
starving employees. The protected are
as Indifferent as the oft-tipped waiter
is when he realizes that no tip is COM
ing this time. The tariff and the tip
are both based on the assumption that
the Golden Rule is not for the business
world, and this is one reason why the
more that is done for the tipping and
the protected the less satisfied and sat.

MASSILLON ELKS

The memorial services of the Mas
sillon lodge Of Elks, No. AL, were
held Sunday evening in the Armory
theatre, which were appropriate and
beautiful, in memory Of the twelve alb
sent members of the local lodge who
have died since the lodge was estab-
lished in the city nine years ago. 1t
was noted that during the last year
not one death has occurred in the
ranks of the local organization, Over
two hundred members were seated In
the center section Of the theatre. Ow-

ing to the inclemsnt weather a scat
tered crowd occupied the remainder
of the theatre. The stage was draped
in the purple and white, the lodge col
ors, and in national colors and flags.
Palms and ferns completed the scene.
The address of the evening was de-
livered by w. w. Totheroh, Of Ash
tabula, Mr.. Totheroh spoke of the
departed members, the nature of the
lodge, and the Elks as a representa-
tive American organization. The
motto of the Elk lodge, "The faults
of our brothers we write upon the
sands; their virtues on the tablets of
love and memory" seemed to be the
essence of the talk as well as that of
the entire evening. I'VE are not per-
feet" said Mr.. Totheroh. I'VE do not
pretend to be perfect. If we demand
ed perfection of every member who
joins us there would be no lodge, but
we are striving after high ideals, and
to this we are striving to attain as
nearly as possible"
III pIONluS lue blh lOuBS Oil SuJl e
ly representative American organiza-
ton Mr.. otheroh showed wherein
the virtues which give America her
present position among the powers of
The earth are the prescribed virtues
of the Elk lodge. Justice, the virtue
of the Elks, is the fundamental prin-
cipal of American greatness, accord
ing to the speaker. 1t was justice
upon which the country was founded,
Justice was the principal of the Rev.
olutionary war; justice the moving
force of the Civil war; justice the
impelling motive of the Spanish war.
1t was justice which caused Theodore
Roosevelt to say to Russia and Japan,
Let there be peace,' and it is justice
which causes the United States TO es-
tablish the open door policy in the
East at the present time.
Thus the prime virtue of the Elks
is justice as well as the most rep
resentative American virtue.
In the eulogy entitled Our Absent
Brothers" by Thomas c. Davis, the
spirit of the Elk motto was again
emphasized. Numerous quotations
completed Mr.. Davis own poetic
words to form a perfect eulogy OF
those departed. An excellent program
Of music was carried out in connec-
tion with the ritual services by the
lodge. Rev. j. r. Jacob gave the invo-
cation and the benediction. The fol-
lowing musical numbers were on the
program:

CHURCH UNITY.

The statement made by prominent
Baptist minister in St Louis recently
that the churches are already united
through their greatest thinkers and
only kept apart by their ignoramuses
seems likely to be put to the test in
philadelphia. Yesterday the federal
council of the Church Of Christ in
America held It's opening session.
-Four hundred delegates, representing
80 denominations and $4,000, 900 COM
municants, were in attendance The
interested churches have been pre-
pairing for this congress for six years.
Their announced objects are TO aid
the general cause, to give expression
to fellowship and unity, to promote
the application of the law of Christ to
every relation of human life and to
| perfect a solid organization, with
many branches, for the furtheranee of
the work of the congress, nationally
and locally. The delegates will dis
cuss methods of cooperating in evan
gelical work at home and in foreign
fields. They will consider plans for
reaching into the family life of nom
communicates and for making the
church a factor in the betterment of
industrial conditions. All of the great
departments of modern religious work
will be considered and plans will be
devised for materially broadening the
field of church influence.
This congress will be one of think
ers. 1t would not have been possible
20 years ago. Reference to the list of
churches that are to participate in the
conference will furnish several sur
prises for those who have not closely
followed the trend of UNCONVENTIONAL
very recent (so-called) "dissenters"
from modern Interpretation of the
Bible are represented in the denomi-
nations that are to have delegates at
the Philadelphia meeting. A very
short time ago it would have been
quite impossible to have induced
many denominations to give their ap-
proval to any religious movement that
was not conducted in strict conform
ity to particular creeds. The tend
ency of the leaders of religious
thought is now away from dogma.
Men are beginning to realize what
are the essentials of religion and to
lput aside non-essentials when these
interfere with progress. The denomi-
nations have all grown out of various
interpretations of one book The re-
suit of attempts to formulate creeds
has been to divide. instead of to ce-
ment Christians. In the present
movement, the endeavor is to get to-
gether on common ground. Our de-
nominations are forming a, general
body which has as it's sole member
ship qualification the acceptance OF
Christ. Everything else is thrown to
the winds. In a measure, it is get
ting back to fundamental principles
and this has been made possible only
through the efforts of the intellectual
giants of denominationalism Who
will venture to predict what the out
come of such a tremendous movement
may be?
