MEANING OF THE STEEL srRrK T..


Leslie's Weekly.
Incidents like the great steel strike and,
in fact, the series of great strikes which
is in sight, show that even the leaders
sometimes lose their grip. Beyond the
immediate effects of the steel strike, the
ultimate result of al victory by the strik-
ers must be considered. This great strike
has disclosed the weakness as well as
the strength of the vast industrial COM
binatfon which Mr.. Morgan has organ
lied. The combination may save money
by introducing economies of operation,
and in so far may be beneficial to the
stockholders, shut, on the other hand, it's
very magnitude Is source of danger. A
strike in one or two isolated Independent

prices for iron and steel products, which
must involve the closing. to US of the
foreign markets that are now just be-
ginning to open The English iron factors

ERADtc4r1EG 4 DISEASE.

The action of the Minnesota and WIS
consin health authorities at Duluth and
Superior is certain to result in great
service to the sanitary interests of both
states.
The plan of action mapped out at Du-.
siderate. No radical procedure is to be
followed except where it is beyond all
dispute that nothing save destruction by
fire will suffice to work an eradication
of the disease.
The general plan of the appointment of
inspectors with power to act must in
evitably meet the case without imposing
Unnecessary hardship on individuals or
unnecessary expense to the community.
1t is universally agreed that the lumber
camps are breeding places for the dis
ease. They are the great source of in
lection in the entire timber area of the
three states of Wisconsin, Michigan and
Minnesota. Tney are operated during the
period when the propagation of the dis
ease Is most active. The men who &C.
cupy them return to their homes just at
the time when the cities are charged
most heavily with general sanitation
work Indeed all ordinary occasions
promotive of disease, if continued, would
not equal in gravity or in the necessity
for municipal expenditure that which is
involved in smallpox infection from out
side regions.
We would have been glad to see more
pronounced spirit of cooperation shown
by the three states most Immediately
concerned. AS it is, Michigan, whose
lumber and iron workers in the lake
region represent one of the chief sources
OF infection to the cities of Minnesota,
and Wisconsin. apparently refuse to take
any action whatever The Superior meet
ing, like that at Duluth had reference
chiefly to the propagation of the disease
through the lumber camps, and, like that
at Duluth, decided ON moderate measures
as long as these are tolerable, embody-
ing also the inspection and fumigation
idea. Should that policy be found insult
ficient, the destructive principle will be
brought into operation. ,,,.-.,.
The Wisconsin state health authorities
have decided also to advance state aid
to the municipalities which are chiefly
engaged in the battle. This is an ex-
ample which should not be lost on Mime
sofa. st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth
have borne the brunt of the expense
and labor involved in this state.
They have had comparatively little CO.
operation from state authority. and no
financial aid whatever. Indeed they have
been the victims of infection which
should have been prevented and Destroy
ed at state expense. Had they been con-
fined to dealing with cases of the disease
called into existence through local un-
sanitary conditions, the Incidental ex-
pense and trouble would be- merely
bagatelle. ...... ....s. a.,4..,,. ar
Happily for states and municipalities
alike we appear now to have entered ON
a course of conduct which must inevi-
tably result in the destruction of the
disease.

New York Times
Oshkosh, Wis. is one of the most adj
vert1sed places in the world. There are
other peculiarly persistent names, like
kalamazoo or Sing Sing, which make
themselves conspicuous. but no one of
them is so absolutely unique and unfor-
gettable as Oshkosh" Those two short,
harsh syllables carry such suggestions of
barbar1sm in their very sound that they
have attracted to themselves like mag
net most of the weird tales of Western
uncouthness and savagery that news
paper jokersl and vaudeville performers
have invented. The result is that a great
many people to this day think that the
name is a pure invention, and that no
such place exists. although! a. glance at
the map of Wisconsin ought to disprove
that impression. 4nruC- 47,r
There is a local myth about the man
ner in which so curious
name was "a, given to the town
that is too characteristic of the
place to- be passed over. They say that
the city fathers had a meeting in the
public tavern, that being the only avail
able hail. to" decide upon a name. AS
each man came in out Of the bitter cold,
he drained off a glass of the favorite
drink of the region at that time, hot
Scotch" Before long the whole company
began to call out for a glass around
every time newcomer arrived, WIN

the assembly did not get on very fastg

The first settlers gave their town, the
delightfully."- inappropriate name, Athens.
About twenty miles further seuthe 'atrthe
bottom of Lake Winnebago, was the, rival
settlement of Fond du Lac, whose French
name and former association with FHrenchE

traders and missionaries gave It a real
advantage in drawing the trade of the
Indians. The shrewd Yankees of Athens
determined to offset that advantage by
an appeal to Indian vanity. At d great
powwow of whites and redskins It was
proposed and formally voted that the
settlement should be named in honor of
the great Oshkosh, chief of the Winnie
bagoS.
From that time Oshkosh rapidly out
stripped it's older neighbor In so doing
it naturally drew upon itself the envy of
the citizens of Fond du Lac who have
ever since been bitter against their
stronger rival. 1t was the imaginative
editor of a Fond du Lac paper who first
drew attention to the possibilities in the
word Oshkosh" and who first started
many Of the wild tales about that city
This editor once solemnly asserted in his
paper that a Methodist minister, riding
into Oshkosh one Sunday morning, met
one of his parishioners coming out with
his clothes torn, his hat gone. his arm in
a sling, his nose smashed in and part of
one ear bitten out

fidential whisper, as he pulled out of his
pockets part OF a finger and various other
bloody pieces Of human anatomy, what
do you s'pose this feller's wife will say
when she sees him.
That yarn was reprinted everywhere
and made Oshkosh widely known as the
place to go to to have some fun with
the boys To this day, whenever a Fond
du Lac man sees the story he smiles
broadly and thinks his beloved town is
being avenged 1t is no wonder that such
tales make people refuse to believe that
there is any such city.
