ANNIVERSARY IF CITY GOVERNMENT Philadelphia Prepares for Big
 Event OCTOBER 4 TO 10, 1908 More Than 500 Handsome Floats Will Be in the Great Industrial Pa geant-Programme for the
 Entire Week.
OCTOBER 4 TO 10, 1908

Philadelphia, May 9.-(Speeial )-Phila- delphia, the leading manufacturing city in the United States. with over 16OOO firms employing an army of labor num- bering more than one-quarter of a million
 workers will present, on Wednesday. October ', next the greatest industrial pageant ever witnessed in the country, if not in the world. This parade, which will be in itself a moving street exhibi- tion of the leading industries which have made Philadelphia famous the world over, will be one of the most important and interesting features of the week S celebration, which will mark the 225th an- niversary of the founding by William Penn of the city government.
 The importance of this feature of Founders Week was quickly recognized by Mayor John E. Reyburn and he was given the hearty support of the city's manufacturers to make it a comprehen- sive, attractive and educational display. At the present time the committee in charge of this parade numbers about 400 leading manufacturers and business men, divided into many subcommittees To show how thoroughly the plans are be- ing made, it may be mentioned that the subcommittee on machinery, of which Al- ba B. Johnson of the Baldwin locomotive works is chairman, has divided into nine smaller committees. Each of these has as it's chairman a man of national repl- tation-one who is at the head of some great industrial establishment which en-. joys the regard of buyers in that par ticular line throughout the world.
 This special work is necessary in the present occasion, because the character of the days parade is wholly different from that previously associated with an industrial parade The main object of the celebration being to emphasize the long and useful life of Philadelphia, the historic element has come to play a very helpful part in this effort to show the industrial activities of the present day. In this connection, every exhibit to be made will show the development of the industry from the very inception; for example, the textile industries will come before the spectators in a series of mag nificent floats, showing, first, the cotton field with the colored laborers picking the cotton; then will follow other floats taking that raw cotton along the whole line of it's development up to the won derful fruits of the great looms of to- day.

Local Patriotism.

From the Adelaide Register.
There is much sound sense-there Is,
