The trouble arose over the discharge
OF several employees by the manage
ment of the Mckee and Bliven factory.
1t is alleged BY the union leaders tina
discrimination has been practiced. and
that only a few OF the manufacturers
are living up to the provisions Of the
agreement which they signed when the
strike last spring was terminated.
Al official Of the Mckee and Bliven
company stated last Saturday that the
men had been discharged because, in
his opinion. they were not working for
the best interests Of the company. He
declared the discharged men would be
taken back under no circumstances.

the wife of Norris is Mildred's sister,
but Isabelle delights to fancy that she
IS quite different from Mildred. Isa-
belle is "emancipated"-she dwells
among the clouds on the pinnacle
heights with her heroines from Ibsen,
Shaw and Sudermann and others and
sundry OF the masters And there
with her is Morris.
Though the two are married and
blessed with child, both pretend not
to be married. They abnor the con-
vention. And they preach thier alb
torrance Moreover, they preach
"superman" and "superwoman" and
all very much to the bewildermsnt of
poor old Mrs. Grey, who thinks these
"suDersy have something to do with
plays and theatres.
Mildred, who is a very common
sense sort of a person, possessed OF

understanding that go hand and hand
with it, learns the secret of Morris and
his wife and determines to restore the
mental balance of both, oblige them to
volunteer an admission of their mar.
riage and abandon their higher
thought and advanced philosophy"
She does it by inducing them to make
themselves ridiculous. She over
whelms them with their own theories
-arouses jealousy in each of them
and triumphs when Morris is compel
led to exclaim ''shucks' Then Is the

Last week at meeting of our city
council 1t was voted to send COM
mfttee to look over the ruins of the
two cities with a view of making a
park of them. There is opposition
to this by some of our citizens who
object to making park outside our
present city limits. This paper is in
favor of the measure for our city is
growing SO fast that we can not afford
to spare the space within the limits
for parking purposes. The electric
line to Chicago and New York passes
through the grounds, crossing the riv-
er at the bridge near the dam. The
management Of this road assures us
that with the four tracks which they
now have and with the five hundred
new cars which they are now build
ing in their shops here, they will be
in position to handle the traffic tn
and from the proposed park, and they
further agree to sell a round trip
ticket for a nickel
AS we said before, it gives us a
moment of sadness when we think Of
the fate of these two boastful cities
of few years ago, and with all our
pride in our own fair city we drop
tear for the fate of the cities that are
gone. We have thought that perhaps
our own large city may go the same
way which they did, and we have re-
peatedly urged the people to watch
with jealous eye any town that may
show growth, but our citizens assure
us that when we got control Of the
water power company we got all the
other towns goat, and that there is
nothing to fear.
