The mans rights movement is as

Mrs. Hornblower Smith had this to-
say: 1T can't succeed! The truth
is that the men themselves at heart
don't want It, This movement orig.
mated with a few cranks-feminine
men, SO to speak, who want to rum
things. 1t will die out"
That the sentiment, however, has
significance is shown by the fact that
there has just been organized an
Anti-man's Rights Order. and this
among the men themselves. The head
of this movement, a slight, nervous
looking man, was seen.
EYES," he said, ut is quite true that
we are doing all we can to Quell the
movement in favor of mans rights.
It's a burning shame that such a
movement should have beeE started,
in the first place. Why should we
men want any privileges, anyway?
My wife has urged me to go into this
thing, in the interests of ultimate
peace, and l am doing all can to re-

Philadelphia Scheme That Would Make

What's the use? And if two weeks,
why not two years?
How would it help the three Fedora

a lot better to keep right on working
and drawing wages and then give a
goodly share of our wage towards pay.

body that sends him.
liar force to the convention now in
session in Toronto. Here are come
together the picked men in the world
of labor. They have risen from the
ability. They have come up through
storm and shock. They have been
shown no favor merely because of So
cial position. wealth, or family pres
tige-the things which govern in the
selection in other groups. Every man
has earned the place which he now
occupies.
To such men may safely be entrust-
ed the destinies of the toilers of
America, not that every man is par
agon of excellence, nor that they never
make mistakes. But the good sense
of the entire body usually prevails
and errors are soon rectified.
Marvellous is the patience of the
delegates as they listen to long-drawn-
out discussions which nobody seems
willing to cut off, because of the keen
desire to give every fellow square
deal. And always does the right side
win, provided, of course. that it can
prove it's case. Sometimes, for the
moment, technicalities appear to
crowd out justice, but everybody rec
ognizes the fact that these men will
see that wrongs shall be righted, ulti-
mately, even though the law demands
arbitrary action in particular case.
Organized labor need not be
ashamed of the men who compose this
convention. They would measure up
with the men in any other deliber-
alive body.

"I have never lived in city of this size before where there was not an ade- quate sewage system. l cannot say the same regarding a municipally owned water system, for coalitions were diff ferent, but l believe in this plan and I am heartily in favor of the proposition to purchase the Pinal Mountain Water company's system.
 Such was the statement made to the Silver Belt yesterday by NJ. l.. Naquin. /. As a business man of this city, MT. Naquin is close observer of public clusion that the bond issue should re- ceive the support of the tax payers of Globe, only after considering the propo- sition carefully.
 "As l understand it, continued Mir. Naquin, "there is no chance for the city to develope water supply of its own within reasonable distance. The Pinal company has corralled the water supply of Globe and aside from the fact that it would be difficult to dispose of the DOnUS or flNdl Ndtcf company here, water cannot be secured without going to a much greater expense than the purchase price of the system now in operation will amount to.
 It is an easy matter to spend Sl60,000 in water system, as the cost of ma terial and labor is expensive Judging from what know of other cities which operate municipality owned water sys- tenn the water works here will prove a good investment. The fact that such a system is more satisfactory 10 every one concerned goes without saying.
 "'The sewer bonds too should not be overlooked. If it were not for the fact that Globe has an exceptionally fine climate, there could not help being a great amount of sickness here. by req son of there being no sewers. That there has not been an epidemic in the past is not an excuse for the residents of this city taking a further risk and they should unite in voting for the sew. CT bonds. ''
