SURE OF VICTORY
FOR DEMOCRATS
!. H. Fitzgerald Returns From
Bryan Notification Meeting
Confident of Success.
SEVERAL STATES CERTAIN
ELECTORAL VOTE OF NEW YORK
AND INDIANA ASSURED
SEVERAL STATES CERTAIN

Ihomas II. Fitzgerald, who was n mem
Der from Utah of the Bryan notification
committee. returned yesterday from Chi
caso, whittier he went following the no.
tification- Mr.. Fitzgerald Is enthusiastic
over the prospects for Democratic sue
cess in the nation.
''rhe gathering at Lincoln at the noti-
fication of Mr.. Bryan was a most inspir-
ing one.' said Mr.. FITZGERALD. II doubt
II ever there were such enthusiasm shown
at similar gathering in the history of
the United States
For days before the notification Lin
colin was filling up with strangers from
all parts of the United States ready to
tender to the Democratic standard bearer
an unprecedented ovation. A conserva-
tive estimate by a Republican of Lincoln
placed the attendance of strangers at
the notification at $1,000.
Republicans for Bryan.
THE affair was non partisan. and there
were many Republicans among those
present, caught with the cOntagion OF
enthusiasm, who tried 10 butcher the
Democrats. When Mr.. Bryan arose to
begin his address of acceptance there was
mighty roar of applause from the
Threats of the thousands who stood under
the glaring sun waiting to do him honor.
IL was with difficulty that Mr.. Bryan
was able to quiet them in order that he
might begin his address.
AT the luncheon following the nOtifi-
cation Utah's representative was not at
the left, not even the extreme left of the
next president. Mr.. Bryan was at the
head OF the table. and | was at the foot
facing him. Mrs. Fitzgerald is quite
proud of the fact that of all the women
who were presented TO Mr.. Bryan on that
day she was the only one who could as
sure him she would vote for him. The
others were not possessed of the elective
franchise that the women Of Utah are so
fortunate in having.
After the notification celebration I
went TO Chicago. | had the pleasure Of
dining with Norman f. Mack. our nation
al chairman, and Thomas Taggart, COM
mitteeman from Indiana. Mr.. Mack as
sured us that New York was sure for
Bryan, while Mr.. Taggart said that the
Republicans of Indiana had practically
conceded Bryan majority in that state

there Is nothing surer than Bryans cleo

York. will give him the election. 1 am
so sure that Indiana will be for Bryan
that / am willing to wager $5,0O0 TO $1,000
in support of that opinion
Mr.. Fitzgerald intends TO make another
trip east next week, and will be at the
Kern notification In Indianapolis on Aug
% He Is not a member of the Kern no
tification committee, and goes to the
meeting merely as a spectator.

AWAY WITH MELANCHOLY.

One of the great mistakes which
men and women are prone to make is
that of taking things too seriously.
They make mountains out of molehills
and exaggerate trivial happenings un-
til they become events of great i'm
portance.
When men and women learn to
take a common sense view of each
other and things in general, there will
be less unhappiness and fewer traged-
les. Great joys and great sorrows
come alike to all, and wise is the one
who makes the most of each-enjoy-
ing the first while it lasts and then
forgetting it as soon as possible, and
modifying the second with sane rea-
soning and with the blessed proverb
It might have been worse.''
If a great happiness is yours, then
thank the gods for it, but do not ex-
pect it to last always; enjoy it while
it fingers and do not grow morose and
pessimistic when it is yours no long
er, but learn that CLOSED incidents"
are really worth while. after all. Sor-
rows, even of the most poignant ma
ture, seldom last throughout a life
time and if they do, time modifies the
first sharp sting of grief, and we Of
ten find that the sorrow is a blessing
in disguise. .....-.
Whether smiles or frowns are met
ed out to us by the world, it is we'll
to take neither too seriously, for each
should be a host within himself. The
one who learns early to weigh events
lightly is the one who goes down the
western slope of life with a smiling
face and a heart too full of things
worth while to care for the petty
things worth only the forgetting.

SIMPLIFIED BANKING.

| An Iowa bank official has recently
devised and had copyrighted a new
form of commercial paper, which, it is
said, will greatly simplify business
transactions. The bank with which
the official is connected has adopted
the forms for the benefit of it's de-
positors, and declares that the bank
ing business should be simplified as
well as any other business.
The new paper combines seven diff
ferent forms in one. 1t is printed in
$40, SIS, $50, 500 and $500 amounts.
1t is of the ordinary size of paper
money, and can be placed in a folder
the same as a bill. The deviser has
combined the following forms into the
new instrument: Time certificates of
deposit, bank money orders, Chicago
draft, New York draft. self-identify-
ing check, certified personal check and
letter of credit
THE new instrument will populariz-
itself especially with travellers who do
not wish to carry large amount of
money on their persons. 1t can be
cashed at any time without the usual
trial of trying to find some one to
identify the holder. This feature will
find instant admiration by those who
have been caught without currency in
strange city, yet with paper in their
possession that they, can not cash
without the formality of Identification.
The working of the new instrument
is simple. 1t is said. aThe depositor,
after making his deposit, is handed
one of the new notes. at the top of
which he signs his name before leav-
ing the bank. This certifes that he
has placed so much money in the bank
and credit, of course, is given by the
cashier. When the holder wishes to
realize, all he does is to sign his name
at the bottom of the note. The SINH
larity of the two signatures answers
for Identification, and the thing is
done. Whether or not this system
will become popular remains to be
seen, but it has the virtue of simple
ity and compactness, and does away
with several annoyances, and that is
something

THE GREATEST NEED.

There should be some machinery de.
vised to stop grating and the robbery
of the people. That is more needed
than the revision of the tariff or the
building Of the Panama canal. There
is score OF so-called important mat
ters that the people can readily drop
and devote all their talk to the eradi-
cation of schemes to bleed the public.
There may be several suggestions as
to how to proceed in this, but here is
one: There should be aIaw requiring
the council for the city, the court for
the county and the governor for the
state, to appoint a committee whose
duty should be to understand all the
contracts made within their respec-
tive jurisdictions, to the end that they
may see whether everything ia
straight and clean, and in strict ae-
cord with the requirements OF the law.
Such a committee would save the
people many times more than IL costs
and It. would prove standing admon-
milton to all that every job viii be
looked into. TO ascertain whether OF
not there 10 in # any graft, subsidy
or rake-of. And this very thing will

"AFTER THE ELECTION"

We are all much obliged to be in
formed that the federal government
on October 16, filed suit against the
sugar trust for $1,5OO,O00 for fraudu-
1ently withheld customs duties, and
again on October 2S. for $2,OOO,OOO
more. But we cant help but wonder
what is the secret of the explanation
made through the Associated Press,
that 'the filing of the action was kept
from public knowledge until after the
election"
Why was knowledge of the fact
kept from the people till after cleo
tion?
Was it, perchance, kept from the
sugar trust as well? Is it possible
the administration was collecting
sugared contributions for Taft with
the one hand and fling suits against
the contributor with the other. while
it successfully essayed to prevent the
one hand from knowing what the
other was doing?
However that may be, it is hard to
SEQ why the people were not permit
ted to know until after election" We
cannot think things have come to
such pass that Mr.. Roosevelt and
his advisers would decide that Taft
would be injured by the fact that the
administration was prosecuting a
trust.
1t seems the people are to be per-
mitted to know Just as much as is
good for them, and to know even that
much only on the installment plan.
practical men" are in the ascend
ency and publicity has to take a
back seat-"until after the election"

BUY YOUR PRESENTS NOW.

On the best of authority it can be
stated that Christmas will be held in
Canton this year on December 25. A
good many people imagine that it is
coming some time in the distant fu-
ture; they can't tell just when, and
that in some unknown way they can
somehow escape giving up any mon
ey to buy presents.
Now, you may as well face the mu-
sic. Christmas is coming a little over
a month from now, and the days will
spin around before you know it. You
know you want to give them all pres
ents they will appreciate and enjoy
the wife, the children, daughter and
son, father, mother-and your sweet
heart, if you are in the true lovers
class.
Buy your presents now. You have
more time to make your selections;
you can shop with comfort; you get
first choice of the fine stocks of
Christmas goods; they will not cost
you a cent more. By doing your shop
ping early you give the storekeeper
and the clerks chance; you distri-
butte business over a longer period;
you accommodate them and they ac-
commodate you. 1t is of mutual bene-
fit to buyer and seller.
Join the prosperity promoters-the
wise women and considerate men
and buy your Christmas presents now
And you will rejoice and be exceeding
glad when you find you will not have
to fight your way through the surging
throngs that crowd the streets and
stores just before the holidays, fight
ing for goods, and at last taking not
what pleases them, but what they can
get. ---- ------s--
The early Christmas shopper gets
the best.

DRY TERRITORY
Is STATE WIDE

Columbus, o., Nov. 23.-As a result
of the temperance wave which has
swept over the Buckeye state and
found expression through enforcement
of the provisions of the Rose county
local option statute 1t is today possible
for a traveller passing through Ohio
from the west to go entirely over the
state and out at it's eastern border
without setting foot on any but dry
territory.
So greatly has the infected territory
widened through elections held ever
since the regular election day in No
Vember that the traveller may begin
his journey at the Ohio rivers edge,
reach the middle of the state and pass
out either east or west on dry terri

HOBSON FEARS
JAPAN WITH AMERICAN
FLEET IN ATLANTIC

Akron, o., Nov. 23,--Congressman
Hobson this evening elaborated on
his letter sent to President Roosevelt
urging the retention of the American
fleet in Pacific waters. Says he has
reason to believe that Japan is vitally
interested in the domestic crisis in
China and is supporting the revolu-
tionary and anti-dynastic party hoping
to be entrenched with successful pow
ers when the time comes to combine
against the United States. With
American fleet in the Pacific Japan
could not get control of eastern wa
ters and would prevent cooperation
with China. Army and navy officers
all believe Japan will be dangerous
with the American feet in the At
lantic.

DAMAGE CASE FILED.

A $4,000 damage suit was instituted
in common pleas court yesterday af-
ternoon by Joseph Brussel against the
Canton Art Metal company for the
injuries the plaintiff received while in
the employ OF the defendant COM
pany which are alleged to be due to
the negligence on the part of the de-
fendant. The plaintiff AYERS that on
February 81, 1908, he was instructed
to work on and near corrugating
machine which was in charge of Fore
man Belden. 1t is alleged that when
the machine was to be started that
the lever flew out putting the machine
in operation drawing him into it and
causing his left arm to be injured and
part of his left hand to be cut off
which permanently injuries him for
life and disables him from perform
ing any work. The plaintiff alleges
that the machine was not in perfect
working order at the time of the ac-
cident.

IDEAL MAN FOR THE PLACE.

The democratic politicians as well
as many of opposite politics in this
part of the state are hoping that
Gov.-elect Harmon will follow the
precedent established by the late Gov.
Pattison and appoint as his private
Eecretary the defeated candidate for
lieutenant governor. The recipient of
the Office in case the policy of Mr..
Pattison is followed will be Judge
Rockwell of Ravenna 1t is under
stood that the judge has done nothing
to even indicate that he is an appli-
cant for the place but it is a universal
feeling that he should be recognized
for the sacrifices he has made in the
interests of the party. The nomina
tiOn of lieutenant governor was forced
upon Judge Rockwell against his own
and the wishes of his friends. He
was compelled to resign from the Of
flee of probate judge of his county
reelection. This latter fact was
shown by the election of the man
named to fill the vacancy by nearly
five hundred votes although he had
never before been a candidate for a
public Office and who had less than
three weeks to make the campaign. !
The high character of Judge Rock
well and his eminent qualifications for
the Office would make him an ideal
man for the position of private secre-
tary to the governor and meet with
universal approval. ....
