THE C. A. & C.
To Be Operated by the
Penn. Company
FRIDAY, MAY 26
Capt. Aabox Wagoxer of Akron
will make his maiden speech as a
Memorial clay orator at Manchester
next Tuesday.
U-clk John Shekmax has made
a positive announcement that he is
not a candidate for anything before
the approaching Republican conven
tion. In view of the star part Mr.
Hanna is likely to pray in that con
vention, Mr. Shermap's assurance is
a trifle superfluous.
Mb. H. Clay Evans, the Admin
istration's Commissioner of Pen
sions, seems to be coming in" for as
many roastings for his treatment of
the old soldiers as were given his
predecessor, Hoke Smith. The only
difference is that the Administration
newspapers are not directing tne
attack upon the Commissioner.
Thev have been muzzled. The criti
cisms come from the soldiers them
selves. The latter did not expect to
get the cold shoulder when they gave
their votes to the election of Com
rade McKinley.
The meeting of Hanna and Fora
ker at next week's Republican State
convention will be a touching event.
It will remind the people of .the
ancient" reconciliation of Jacob and
Esau, at Peniel by the Jordan. Fora
kenvill enterthc convention bearing
pleasant gifts and the olive branch
of peace. He will "bow himself to
the ground seven times," as Jacob
did. He will run to meet his politi
cal brother, and will embrace him,
and fall on his neck and kiss him,
and they will weep. But how long
will the new-made bond of peace and
friendship last? Not eternally.
LET IT BE THOROUGH.
It may be doubted if interest in
local public school affairs has ever
been so aroused as at this time. "
When the School Board voted
unanimously to inquire "into the
conducting and management of the
public schools,?' it brought matters to
a crisis, the result of which will be
anxiously awaited by the people.
More than a year ago theDESio
cb at called attention to what seemed
to be an organized and persistent
attempt at discrimination against
resident teachers, both as regarded
employment and opportunities.
The Democeat charged, and not
without the approbation of men who
had given the best years of their
lives to the upbuilding of the schools,
that a double standard of qualifica
tion had been adopted as the test of
admitting teachers to employment
in the schools. One standard applied
to non-resident teachers; the other
to resident teachers. The Democeat
showed that the obligation imposed
upon the home teachers as a condi
tion of employment was in many
respects much more exacting and
burdensome than that upon teachers
from abroad.
And by many citizens the charge
was publicly made, but with what
justification the Democeat does not
know, that petty spite and jealously
on the part of those in close touch
with the appointing power were
frequently the causa of home teach
ers, of acknowledged efficiency in
school work, being displaced
from the roll of teachers by those
from abroad.
But as these charges were made in
the heat of a campaign, at a time
when partisanism warped the judg
ment of the people, they were re
garded for the most part as mere
political bunbombe, and those
concerned in making them were
charged with trying to drag politics
into the public schools.
Now that the School Board has
resolved to locate the cause of
trouble, and, if need be, apply the
proper remedy, no matter how
drastic a remedy the exigencies of the
case may require, it should be given
united popular support.
No one should be prejudged, and
everybody concerned should be given
a fair and impartial hearing. But
the best interests of the schools
demand that the investigation shall
be thorough enough to satisfy all
fair-minded people whether the
obstinate complaints concerning
loc.il school management com
plaints that have been gathering
force for the last year are only idle
gossip or the truth.

Within 90 DaysHeavier Rails-Flyers.
It emanates from official sources
that the Pennsylvania company will
be operating the Cleveland, Akron &
Columbus within the next GO days,
says the Leader. It was at first
thought that the first named road
would assume charge of the latter by
the first of June, but there seems to
be something in the way of"an im
mediate absorption. Tfiat the road
will be under the control of the
Pennsylvania within two months
seems fixed beyond a doubt.
"When the Pennsylvania gets hold
of the property it will immediately
commence to operate ib on the same
general principle that
Governs Its Actions
toward the other properties which
are under its control. Some of the
plans that have leaked out dispel
any doubt as to the intention of the
Pennsylvania to control the C, A. &
C. absolutely.
It is said that one of the first
things done will be to take up the
old rails between Hudson and Co
lumbus and relay the track with the
ninety-five pound steel rails, which
are standard With the Pennsylvania
lines. This will make an entirely
new roadbed, as the C, A. & C. peo
ple have just completed,, the work of
reballasting the road and laying new
ties. Much of the unsteadiness in
the road heretofore has been due to
the light caliber of the rails.
There is another -thing in the air
that will be interesting to the Big
Four. It is said that as soon as the
conditions will permit the Pennsyl
vania will put on a
Fast Through Train
to Columbus, where it will connect
with its flyer to Cincinnati. Here
tofore the "Pennsylvania service be
tween here and Columbus has been
necessarily glow. In the first place
it has had to accommodate its train
service to the local business of the
Cleveland, Akron & Columbus, and
hence could not expect-to make phe
nomenally fast time.
DRINK CURE
FIELD DAY.
That Is Recommended by
Mayor Young.
Frank L. Allen Pleaded Guilty
Police Court Cases.
August Duffy of Cuyahoga Falls,
was assessed $2 and costs for intoxi
cation in Police court Friday. Mayor
Young suggested a cure equal to that
of the famous Keeley institute. He
advised Duffy to have a picture taken
of him-elf in his present condition
and look at it every night before re
tiring.
Frank L. Allan, 719 East Exchange
st., a machinist, was arraigned on a
charge of hidecent exposure of per
son on last Sunday evening near
the Goodrich Rubber works on South
Main st. f
He pleaded guilty and Mayor
Young reserved sentence until Sat
urday morning.
Many times in the past Allan has
been arrested on similar charges.
Less than a year ago he was cor
ralled in the corridors at Buchtel
college by Prof. II. V. Egbert for
peeping into the girls' apartments.
Michael Zoltan, 102 East North
st., entered a plea of not guilty to a
petit larceny charge. The case was
set for Saturday. Tt is claimed
Zoltan stole ftowers valued at $3 of
Marv Henry. The complaining wit-
nets and defendant both speak Pol
ish. The case when it comes to trial
will necessitate a.good deal of in
terperation. Katie McGowan appeared at the
city building this moming with a
beautifuL, black eye. She had a
warrant issued, for the arrgst of a
neighbor.

Mr. and Mrs. Francis Labadie Made a
Favorable Impression.
One of the most enjoyable literary
events of the season was that at Mc
pherson hall Thursday evening,
when Mr. and Mrs. Francis Labadie,
of New York, dialogue entertainers,
presented Shakesperian and other
subjects in dialogue. The entertain
ment was under the auspices of Mc
pherson Lodge No. 63, Knights of
Pythias, .and in introducing the en
tertainers, Mr. T. E. "Walsh spoke of
this as being one of a series of liter
ary performances to be given for the
pleasure and. advancement of the
members of that order and their
families and friends.
The initial feature of the program
was an amusing dialogue, "An Orig
inal Idea," as an introductory to the
""Wooing Scene" in Shakespeare's
Richard the III. John Banin's
"Damon and Pythias," the "Trial
Scene" in Shakespeare's "Merchant
of Venice," and Thayer Smith's "A
Happy Pair" comprised the features
of the program.
Pleasing in their expression, clever
and versatile in their acting, and re
fined in their manner, Mr. and Mrs.
Labadie at once won the admiration
of the audience and continued to de
light and entertain throughout the
entire performace.

DIRECTORS
Discussed Plans For
Consolidation.
Facilities of the Service Will be In
Better Shape.
A meeting between the directors of
the Akron Traction & Electric Co.
and the directors of fhe A., B. fc C.
Co. was held in Cleveland Friday.
The object of the meeting was to
discuss the matter of consolidating
the two companies. "While this was
but a preliminary meeting it is stated
upon good authority that such a
deal will be consummated within a
short time.
With this consolidation the facili
ties of the service will be in better
shape and the work done to better
advantage. The city is covered with
about 20 miles of track by the Akron
Traction & Electric Co.. and the A.
B. & C, running between here and
Cleveland, a distance of 35 mileSj
will give the service about 55 miles
of road. New cars will be put on
and the work of building extension
to the line will be pushed as rapidly
as is warranted by increase' in the
company's patronage.
The name under which the con
solidated company will be organized
has not yet been decided upon.

considering the American constitution.
Its principles impress us profuudly.
"The plan of government offered the

colonial system. But why should a

make a colony of :v distant people who
have been so long lighting againt Spin
