ALWAYS PLAYING POLITICS

Washington. D. c., July 3.-(Spe-
cial.)-The old parties never miss a
chance to put each other in hole,
even if it is done at the risk OF stop
ping all governmental activities. The
other day the Democrats waited until
the eleventh hour to pass joint res
olution to extend the appropriations
of 1912 until the regular 1913 appro-
priation bills are signed by the Pres.
ident. The Democrats wanted to
show the country that the Senate
was behind in its work. The Repubh-
can senate. however, put the blame
ON the Democrats who. It said, were
killing time in the Baltimore conven-
ton.
In the meantime, more than half
a million Government employees
were about to be turned out in the
streets and the entire Government
structure about to topple over. This
is capitalist politics.

Glasspackers Say Gun Men

here in January as business doc

of $50 a wee kfor showing Wicke
what he doesn't know about the glass
business. He is described by the
packers as a heavy, bulldog sort Of
a man, who goes about with his sleeves
rolled UP and his chin stuck out, Civ
ing a vivid impression of thug hunt
ing for trouble. He threatened to
lick" one of the packers recently,
thus showing that his mentality is in
keeping with the old idea Of venting
physical punishment upon an unwill
ing slave. He takes the strike break
ers to the ears of evenings, with a
great show of protecting them, al
though the packers have made nc
effort to even speak to the men. His
$50 a week salary is taken from the
scant earnings Of the packers. They
have the privilege of deriving their
families of needed things in order to
allow this man to demonstrate that 81
a day wages will make more profits
for Wicke than So day.

Misrepresentation.

That Wicke is bringing men to the
city under misrepresentation is sub
stantiated by at least four men who
came here and left, when they learned
thetrue situation. They came here
from GAINESVILLE. They said that
Wicke had written them that there
was no strike or labor trouble, but
that he simply needed more men.
They came to town last Sunday nigh.
Not one of them went into the glass
house when they learned the true
situation. One of them, a coal miner
returned to his home. where even
with all the troubles Of coal mines,
he can fare better than he could un-
der Wicke, and the other three secur-
ed better jobs than Wicke offers, as
laborers in the Scott lumber yards.

c. e. C. Kills
Mozart Park

Mozart Park has been killed as an
amusement resort, for the present sea
son at least, and for as long thereafter
and as permanently as is desired by
the management of the City and Elm
Grove railroad company.
In early spring the management of
Mozart Park announced that the
park would be put in order for patrons
this season, and went to considerable
expense in repairs and improvements.
On the strength of these announce
ments and preparations, many organi-
zatios arranged for picnics at the re-
sort, and much advertising of the
park and these particular affairs was
begun.
Suddenly it was all stopped. The
management of the City and Elm
Grove road, which, the park people
claim, had promised extra service dur
ing the summer season, refused to
change the existing schedule. AS the
present schedule is one car every hour
on the Mozart Park line, there was of
course NO possibility of opening the
park. All bets were declared OFF, all
picnic dates cancelled, and the park
is now thinking of the
disadvantages of private ownership of
public, utilities.
