I'm the United States il is the small city which
is eager to embark upon a public supply of
electricity, while the large city fights shy of the
undertaking. In Great Britain the opposite is
the case; the large city is FIRST TO adopt the
municipal system, and the smaller city is 10th to
undertake the work Notwithstanding the success
which a few of tine comparatively small towns
have had in handling this branch Of the public
service.

pensive. To avoid the latter many of
our silk industries moved from other
cities to Scranton. If their business

come impossible for them to enter into
long-term contracts, owing to their
inability to calculate upon the steadi-

There has been an easy-going dis

sition presented in the name of organ

of our city, which is nearing a critical
Juncture. II is necessary for the com

can be wrong, as well as capital; that
the manhood which dares to stand up
for fair play on all sides is the man
hood that lasts. We do not believe
that majority of the wage-earners of

side which labor cannot honorably

a decrease Is shown the conditions are excer'

there Is drop in exports Of about SiOO,ooo;

China, which is now our largest purchaser Of
