WHAT is A GREAT crTY2

What says Walt Whitman of the
great city?
"The great city is that which has tho
greatest man or woman.
If it be a few ragged huts, it is still
the greatest city In the whclt
world.
The place where the great city stands
is not the place OF stretched
wharves, docks, manufactures,
deposits OF produ:e :.
Nor the place OF the talIest and cost.
Hest buildings. or shops selling
goods from the lest Of the
earth
Nor the place of the most numerous
population (but)
Where equanimity is Illustrated In
affairs,
Where speculations on tho Soul are
encouraged;
Where women walk in public process
siOns in the streets. the same
as the men,
Where they enter the public assem-
blies and take PLACES the same
as the men;
Where the city of tho faithfullest
friends stands; .
Where the city Of the cleanliness Of
the sexes stands;
Where the city of the healthiest
fathers stands;
Where The city OF the best'bodled
mothers stands.
There the great city stands"

IN LABOR SITUATION
Committee Of Electrical Workers Has
Been in Session All Morning
But no Statement Made.

There was great deal of activity
among the electrical workers at the
Trades Assembly hall this morning
but it was stated that no statement
would be made until late this after
noon. District President Perrin and
the members of the committee we're
in conference the greater part Of the
day and would give no intimation of
their plans.
In yesterdays account of the mat
ter, it was stated that the employees of
the Iowa Telephone Company had
been called out, but this was CHROME
Gus. 1t was declared today that the
company had discharged all but three
of their men and that there was no
strike order issued. The three men
who are working are members OF the
electrical workers organization and
not non-union men as stated yester-
day.
Nothing has been done, according
to members Of the organization, in re.
gard to the men on the power house
and the transmission line, and SO far
as they are concerned nothing will be
done, but they infer that they expect
some action on the part of the en-
ployers.

the brazen and extravagant manipula-
ton OF American Can stock, which
opened at an initial advance of a
point, went nearly half a point high

selling. There was news of two kinds,
bearing on this precious exploit in
high finance. First, the market was
permitted to learn that the reason for
the weeks action of this stocko was
that the company's directors were
about to throw 1t in debt to pay previ.

York, related how Governor Sulzer
had requested his visitors to explain
this weeks operations in American
