WHAT ANNAPOLIS NEEDS---NO. 3

BY LEON STRAUSS
A gentleman in a certain Texas town
once needed a new stove. The town
boosted two stores where hardM :
was retailed but as the would-be
purchaser was not prejudiced he
walked into the first one he came to.
He found the proprietor in an easy
chair half asleep. II would like
TO look at your stoves" he said The
storekeeper raised slightly his half
open eyes. After a bit he drawled II
am little out of sorts today stran-
ger and don't like to move unless
have TO. Williams store a little
further down sells stoves. Why
don't you go look at his first.
II would seem that this has been the
moral attitude of Annapolis toward
commercial expansion. Let's get rid
of this disposition. Let's walk out
on the sidewalk and watch.
needs to assume an inviting
and active attitude of encouragement
toward every possible acquisition of
factory, instead of passiveness and
indifference which seemingly have
been heretofore manifested toward
Improvement and growth.

The federal department of labor has
signed statement showing that manu-
featuring INDUSTRIES in the United
States are expanding generally from
20 TO 60 per cent. more for wages than
they were year ago Much of this
increase, however. is accounted for by
the additional number of men employ
ed, but considerable amount is credited
TO higher wages. The iron and steel
industries lead with a 60.3 per cent. in
crease in the amount of wages paid
and SO per cent. increase in the
men employed.
The car building and repair industry
is next with 81 per cent. increase and
a 36 per cent incresae in men en-
plOyed Cotton manufacturing alone
of the larger industries shows only a
nominal wage increase. Yet, accord
ing to a statement of Frank Morrison,
secretary OF the American Federation
OF Labor. in review of the labor stu
alton throughout the country. there is
Il the present time greater industrial
unrest than has prevailed for several
years, and that it would DO impossible
to estimate the number of workmen
who will be on strike July 1.

Woman suffrage was defeated in the
State of Iowa by majority of four
thousand votes. a careful canvass of
the situation before the recent primary
indicated that suffrage would carry by
a substantial majority. The result was
quite as much surprise to the oppo-
nents of woman suffrage as it was to
the friends of the movement What
then, is the reason for the unexpected
announcement.
The simple and very easily under
stood fact that the farmers. who consti-
tute the vast majority of 1owa's popu-
lation, were right in the midst of har-
vest time with short crop in sight
and the necessity of making every day
count in saving their grain staring
them in the face. And the farmers
who did vote were three to one in
favor of woman suffrage, declares the
Kansas City Star.
