The editorial page is short but
strong and sounds similar TO those at
this peculiar period The leading edi-
torial bears no head, though 1t Is a
half column long, and reads very
much like those of TIE present Pc
culiar political times There is space
for only a couple Of the opening brief
paragraphs as follows:
"The st. Louis Democrat (now the
| Globe Democrat) discusses the matter
| OF the reorganization of parties. 1t
restricts the recent contest in Mis-
souri, to local significance; but
thinks there will be demand inside
of the republican party for a ciyl
service and tariff reform which can
not be resisted, and of which tns
election in Missouri is the earnest
and initial.
"The Democrat is disposed to slor
over. 1t should remember that M's
souri, voted against Mr.. Lincoln IN
the convention of 1864. and didn't
hurt ANYBODY 1t can oppose Gen
Grant with just ss Indifferent sue
cess now"
There WAS about three columns o
the eight and half made up OF 10
cal news, containing nothing OF
sensational or of general interest now
S. II Johnston was city collector
the time and had short delinouen

NATIONAL LOCKERS
 STRIKE A FAILURE

London, June 1.-Undeterred by the failure of previous attempts, the govern ment today resumed negotiations with a view to arranging peaceful settlement of the dock strike. The prospects of success are slender as the shipowners convinced that a national strike cannot be successfully engineered. have taken an unyielding attitude. The number of men outside London who have responded to the call for a national strike does not exceed 25,00O. but several ports, including Bristol, Swansea, Southampton and Man chester, are partly tied up.
 Much depends upon the result of the ballots being taken by the seamens and other unions, but from all appearances the movement is foredoomed to failure. The strike leaders, nevertheless. are hope ful that they can so dislocate the coun- try's trade as to compel the government to pass legislation for the purpose of coercing the shipowners. The cabinet minister's, on the other hand. are doing their utmost to avoid adding to the labors of the already overloaded parliamentary machine. The London situation remains unchanged
 There was serious rioting In suburb this evening.

IMPORTANT WEEK
 AT EAST LAKE PARK
Temple Emanu-El Ladies and "News- boys" Will Have Charge on
 Separate Days

Life Is just one funny thing after an- other-out at East Lake park The new management of this place, under the di- rection of MT. speberger. has accom- plished much towards giving the park goers a place worth while. both as a modern park full of fun giving devices and as a general meeting place for the various clubs and societies in their an nual outing and picnic affairs.
 The present week is full of out of the ordinary events-on Thursday, the ladies of Temple Emanu-Ei will have full charge of the grounds-for their annual picnic This doesn't mean that the park is in any sense closed to the public, on the contrary, they most cordially invite every one to come out and enjoy the superb programme of interesting amusements and pastImes they have prepared, which include an old-time barbecue and dance. The days fun will copciude with a mammoth display of fireworks.
 Mrs. Maurace Lenck is chairman of the arrangements and programme committee and assures all most royal time.
 Director splelbereer and Manager Gould have set aside next Friday, June the 14th, as 'newsboys' day" and flag day" This is an announcement that brings great big thrill of gladness and joy to the hearts of the youngsters who have been serving all with morning and evening papers the whole year long and who will enjoy every minute of the day. They'll laugh with delight as the Razzle- Dazzle losses them about-shout with excitement as the Scenic railway and the joy ride scoots them around the curves and down the inclines. They will proceed with caution through the mys- teries of the Discovery of the North Pole" and the Human Laundry--and they will all go home bigger. better and stronger boys for the days outing, recre- ar1on and fun they have had.

WILSON ID OPROTECT PEOPLE FROM FRAUD City People Investing in Worthless Farming
 Schemes, He Says

Washington. June 1.-The department of agriculture has taken steps to ex- pose land investment frauds and protect the people of the country against the swindling schemes.
 Secretary Wilson today ordered the col lection of data to place his department in position to aid such investors. Bulle- tins are to be issued, warning against certain general propositions and specific information will be given correspondence upon request.
 Thousands of city folk. and many others Secretary Wilson declared today, were being encouraged to put savings into land selling, orchard growing and crop pro- ducing schemes. many of which were swindles.
 Many people with little or no knowl- edge of agriculture are being led to in- vest money in projects which by no reasonable chance can ever be made to pay the profits claimed for them.'' said the Secretary
 "One of these concerns recently wrote to Dr. Galloway, chief of the bureau of plant inquify. not knowing who he was. It was like)some stock swindler trying
