IMPERIALISM
Severely Condemned, by Manufac

The Salvation of the People, Says He, Is
Independence In Politics.
Mr. Werner Deplores Intolerant Partisanism and
Arraigns the Political Boss.
He Declares For the Public Ownership of
Natural Monopolies.

the genuine article a real, true Emperor, and not a
political boss." Mr. Paul E. "Werner.

"I 6ee many commendable things

use of one party against the other for
the purpose of correcting evils and
punishing scheming politicians.
"I supported Mr. McKinley, and

"If I were in favor of Imperialism,
I would want the genuine article a

When asked what he thought of
Mark Hanna, in politics, Mr. Wer
ner said:
" I do not care to express myself
relative to Mr. Hanna, but I have no
doubt he is a very useful man to the
Administration."
"What kind of a-platform would
you like to stand od?" Mr. Werner
was asked.
"Oh, platforms really do not count
for much," was his answer. "I am
in favor of municipal ownership of
street car systems, telephone sys
tems, water works and gas plants;
and I am opposed to the granting of
franchises to monopolies owning
these necessary public institutions
at the present time."
Speaking of trusts, Mr. Werner
said:
"Bad and dangerous trusts will
kill themselves. Give them plenty
of rope and they will hang them
selves without fail. Many trusts are
now increasing the price of a great
many articles all of which will
prove to be a great disadvantage to
many people, and temporarily of
great advantage to the few; and
these are the reasons why such trusts
will eventually come to grief. They
will be wrecked on the rock of pub
lic opinion and the just and fair
sense of the majority of the Ameri
can people."

nothing had been heard from either,
the gossips began to get busy. An
elopement was hinted, but the
friends of the parties ridiculed the
ide. They said that Mrs. Cramer
was old enough to be Fell's mother
and that the young man had never
given any evidence of paying her
more than the ordinary amount of
attention.
The stories reached the ears of

a quiet investigation. He found

Watson's Cold Reception Over In
Portage County.
A great many of Akron's old sol
diers received invitations to attend a
conference ot the headquarters of
the Republican County Executive
Committee Thursday night. The
invitations read as follows:
"My Dear Sir:
"You are earnestly requested to
attend a conference meeting at Re
publican headquarters this Thurs
day evening at 7:30 p.m. to consider
a matter of much interest to old sol
diers and the Republican party. The
work to be considered is connected
with the Foraker meeting to be held
in view of certain statements made
in the Democratic press, and we
wish to take some definite action.
"Do not fail to be with us this
evening.
"Yours truly,
"E. W. Stuabt,
"Chairman."
Twenty old soldiers called at head
quartors in response to the invita-
turns, anxious, no doubt, to learn
I what terrible secret was implied by
the clumsily worded and mysterious
clause : "The work to be considered
is connected with the Foraker meet
ing to be held in view of certain
statements made in the Democratic
press," etc.
The result of the conference was
that withiu the next few days every
old soldier in Summit county will
receive notice that they have been
appointed vice presidents of the
Foraker meeting, Enclosed will be
a gaudy badge, on which will bo em
blazoned in tawdry gilt edge letters
thejwords, "Vice President."
Tne campaign managers estimated
Thursday night that they could work
500 veterans into the service by the
liberal use of badges.
Some idea of the enthusiasm of
Republicans in Portage county can
be gained from the following Raven
na special to the Cleveland Press :
"Hon. D. K. Watson of Columbus,
was absigned to do campaign duty in
the county, Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings. He arrived Wednes
day, in ill humor, because the coun
ty committee here had ignored dis
patches sent by him, asking for in
structions, but filled his date at
Aurora. The meeting was a frost,
and Watson got mad. He read the
riot act to Chairman Sperra, and
said that in all his 25 years of cam
paigning he had not received worse
usage than here. Then be canceled
the meeting for Charlestown, for
Thursday evening, and shook the
dust of Portage cobnty from his
feet.-'

Home Workmen All Enlist.
Work on the plant of the Diamond
Match company in South Africa has
been entirely suspended.
Thomas F. Cleveland has started
for homo. He is expected to arrive

He was living at Johannesburg,

mond Match company to superin
tend the construction of an immense
plant, which was to supply the trade
in the new field opened in the South
African countries. The new works
are located about IS miles from Jo

has been impossible to get men to

army in its struggle against British
supremacy.

Forged Checks Cashed
by Young Woman.
Poor Imitation of Major Steinbacher's
Signature Canton Caught.
The prepossessing young lady who
passed a forged check a few days
ago on a Wooster bank with the sig
nature of E. S. Steinbacher attached
seems to be doing a wholesale busi
ness.
Within the last week she passed
two checks for $20 each, drawn on
the First National bank of Akron
with the same forged signature on
each.
They were cashed by merchants in
Canton. After the checks reached
the Canton banks they went to
Cleveland and then came to Akron.
The young woman has not as yet
been located. There is no trace of
her. The signature Is a poor forgery.
