The almost continuous blockade
II teams around the watering fountain
last Monday afternoon emphasized
the Importance Of that Improvement
There was considerable Danger d
collisions and tip overs which were
avoided by the prompt and careful
super1 ision and direction Of Marshal
Budworth and Night-watch Posey.
Additional facilities for watering
teams Is almost a necessity for public
days. The greatest care will have to
be exercised on such days as Fourth
Of July and the fair, when hilarity is
rampant, to prevent accidents.

CITY WATER ANALYSIS.

The water with which this city is
supplied has recently been subjected
to chemical analysis and the result
confirms the former analysis. Our
water supply is equal to if not super
Tor to any in the state aud it behoves
us to let the facts be known abroad.
1t is the great attraction of the city
and ought to add to our prosperity
and growth by attracting residents.

A Model Village.

Port Sunlight Is a model village for
working people, situated about six
miles from Liverpool and established
by the great manufacturing firm Of
Lever Bros, who built it in order to
supply their numerous workmen with
comfortable homes near the factories
at minimum of expense, and also to
endeavor to make the whole system CO.
operative.
The village is young, having been
founded little over ten years ago. The
streets are laid out somewhat after the
style Of the prettier new American cit
les with trees planted in the streets
and lawns in front of the houses. There
are no aldermen to give away fran
chises regardless of the will of the peo-
pie, nor are saloons at every corner.
The homes of the workmen are mod
ern, and contain the luxuries of hot
and cold water, gas-in fact, all scien-
tific sanitary arrangements. Cosy fire.
places are in nearly every room, and
all are neatly decorated.
All this Is given at a monthly rental
of from 81 to Sc. The rent includes
gas and water, and is scarcely sufficient
to keep the houses in repair The en-
ployers and employees govern the vii
lage, each department of the works
electing six members to the village
council. The village, moreover, offers
all the special features and advantages
Of larger town in the way of clubs,
churches, public buildings and free
schools, which are maintained by the
company.
It costs member but "a cents year
to join club or society-the firm con-
tributing three times as much-where
he has all the features of the modern
club. All these items, if counted as a
portion of the wages, would make
them very high. An eight-hour day
prevails. This profit-sharing scheme,
the success of which is due to good
management, has resulted in great sat
isfaction to all concerned.

~ should admire to have another cat
like Tom! He was jest the smartest cat
and the best cat. and the handsomest
cat l ever sot eyes on-clear Maltese

"Too bad he should be pizened!"
said Mrs. Smith, mpathizingly. Aunt
Nabby Green has a cat that's the per-

and she says he's good as gold, but
she sets such store by him I don't
spose she'd part with him, anyhow"
Benny Prince and Nan Hollawy,
who sat on Aunt Cams doorstep play
ing checkers and eating peach apples,
heard the conversation, and both
| wished they could find cat to comfort
Aunt Cam. All the children loved the
dear old lady who was so sweet to
them, always had plate of apples on
the light stand from which you were
to help yourself, and apparently never
failed to have sugar plums in her pock-
ct. The next morning Nan came in

times mewed bit, softly

"You dear child" said Aunt Cam.
fondling the kittens. Just like Tom,
for all the world-not white hair
on 'em. Thank you, a thousand
times"
And with kiss and handful of
goodies, Nan hurried off to school.
Before five minutes, Benny came
along with a gentle old Maltese cat
purring in his arms.
Grandma says she'd jest as soon
spare you old Tab as not, for she has
three other cats. Run in, Tab! I'm
ate to SCHOOL
And Benny ran off, without waiting
to hear Aunt Cams Thank you, Ben
ny, dear!"
That afternoon Aunt Cam put the
kittens down cellar. shut old Tab in
the woodshed. put on her thimble and
went to the sewing circle.
When she came home at dusk, she
found a squirming bag on her front
porch, and a note from Mrs. Smith
tucked under the door. 1t read: Aunt
Nabby says she wouldn't spare Tim
othy to anybody but you, but she has
two kittens most as big, so you may
have him."
She carried in the bag and emptied
out Timothy. He was, indeed, the
very moral of Tom. and hs~ reart

(There is no appeal.)


The action of the mayor of Poca-
hontas, Va, in denying Grand Master
Workman Sovereign the right of ex-
pressing himself as he desired has been
quite extensively commented upon. II
has been denounced as an unwarrant-
ed abridgement of the right of an in
dividual to say what he pleases, when
he pleases, where he pleases, and to
whom he pleases. This is unrestrict-
ed liberty Of speech which, if tolerated
would result in much evil. While the
citizen should not be denied the right
of free speech, he should not be per-
mitted to abuse the right. 1t is bet
ter that those men should be muzzled
whose mouths are craters from which
there is constant vomit of unhealthy
and communicating verbiage. Under
the conditions now prevailing in the
mining regions much of good can be
accomplished by discreet leadership.
The strikers should be appealed to as
men, and no word should be spoken
which would incite brute force, which
would result disastrously to the min

Every man who has any skill at ALL
or who can learn any skill, is always
threatening the machine. He can DO
his job, or learn to do it. not so well,
perhaps, nor so quick, but he can do IL
cheaper. More than all, "a mans enc
mics are those of his own household.
II is the mechanic who bids against the
other because he has to bid In order
to get job at all. The 'longshoreman,
even on this side of the ocean, is a
continual threat to his better-paid fell
low on the British side. The British
workingman's wages have risen greatly
during the past ten years, and owing to
his easy access to other lands conse-
quent on extended trade, rents have
not risen in the same degree. AL
though he still gets less wages In
money than his American brother,
goods are so cheap there that his wages
will buy more. His condition Is there
fore an improved and improving one,
and is attracting foreign laborers to
compete. That is why the English
'longshoremen have sent one of their
leaders here to organize the men on
this SIDE This is part of their steady
policy; they found that the farming
districts and the collieries Of the inte-
rior were sending men to take their
places at lower wages. What did they
do?
American trade-unionists would
probably have raised their initiation
fee and made more stringent rules
against outsiders. They would have
built up an army of non-union men,
"scab" labor, which would eventually
have overwhelmed their defenses. The
English were wiser They sent men out
to organize the farmers and the colliers
to improve their condition, so that they
would not come to the docks to offer
their services in competition with the
freight handlers. Later they found
that American men were shipped over
men or wanted to reduce wages Their
countermore was to start the organiZa-
ton here. In time the American long
shoremen's union will profit by this
example, and, if necessary, send mis-
sionary organizers to the truck drivers
and hod carriers, and to other trades
everywhere, from which their own
ranks are recruited. The idea of the
American 'longshoreman's union Is not
to strike If it can be avoided. The
strike is like a gas-pipe gun, as good
as the best to threaten with, but sure
to hurt the user as we'll as others if
he fires it off. But all that unions can
do with any weapon, in improving rules
or shortening hours, is nothing as COM
pared to what unions should do and
what the new 'longshoremen's union
aims to do and to help others to do
