w. l.. Douglas is going to increase
the capacity of his factory to 5000
pairs Of shoes per day. The addition
will add 10000 square feet Of space for

When the factory starts up the first

SCENES AND INCIDENTS

In the calendar Of time, present and fu-
ture; SO long as men shall have aspirations
and so long as human hearts throb with
hope, the Fourth of July will stand forth as
the anniversary Of the greatest civic event
In history. One hundred and twenty-five
years ago today a band of earnest patriots,
inspired by wisdom which becomes more
phenomenal the longer 1t is studied, adopted
the Declaration of Independence, which was
to form the basis of the mightiest govern
ment the world has ever known. None
perhaps, of the trainers Of that noble decla-
ration was altruistic enough to imagine that
it's principles would be extended beyond the
boundaries of the country it was intended
to govern, but events have proved other
wise, and today millions wrested from
despotism worse than the colonists suffered
are being brought within the beneficent in
fluence of those principles.
The celebration Of such an anniversary Is
naturally glad and buoyant. Patriotism is
everywhere predominant. and from the

THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
Review to he Prepared Of the Testi-
mOny Taken.

The secretary of the industrial commits
sion has prepared outline of the review
of the commissions work which was au-
thCrized at its last meeting. The review is
intended to cover all the subjects treated
of in the testimony taken during the three
years of the commissions existence. These
will be under ten heads. as follows: Sum-
try generally, agriculture, mining, manu-
facture and general business, Industrial
combinations, transportation, labor, immi-
grafton, the negro problem and taxation.
Under the first heading there will be a
discussion of the general movement Of
prosperity and depression affecting all in
dustries, contrasting the depression Of
1S13-9o with the prosperity of 1SS-19o1.
Under the head of industrial combina-
tons there will be a general discussion Of
trusts, a history of the development of
combinations and estimate of their ex-
tent in this country.
A subcommiSsion will devote the summer
to the preparation of this review. 1t ex-
poets to make use not merely of the tes-
timony before the commission and Of the
numerous special investigations and re-
ports which 1t has prepared but also of au-
thentic information from other sources.
The review will be made the basis for the
recommendations of the commission. 1t
will not itself contain conclusions as to
controverted topics, nor definite recon-
mendations for legislation. 1t is expected
that it will be printed in a single volume
as part of the final report of the commits
sion, and that it will occupy from 400 to
COO pages.
