SPEAKER URGES INCORPORATION OF ALL UNIONS Says Strikes Should Not Be Inflicted on
 Innocent.

Walter Gordon Merritt, a New York attorney, spoke at the United church Community Forum last night on the industrial welfare.
 While not denying the workers the right to strike, Mir. Merritt thought that strikes should not be permitted in violation of arbitration awards, on reasonable agreements, in government work and on non-combatan and neu- tral parties. He instanced the case of the Danbury matters, where labor leaders threatened a hat dealer in a far away city who was handling the Danbury product with a boycott of his business unless he refused to sell the hats. He also mentioned a case of coercion exercised on fishermen along the New England coast who refused to be bulIied into the union. MT. Merritt said that when the fish ermen refused to join the union on account of the way in which the pro- position was put, union delegates went to New York and prevailed upon the marketmen and truckmen to refuse to handle the fish sent down from New England.
 MT. Merritt said that acts like the foregoing should be brought within legal process, and this could only be done by incorporation of the labor uiions. In justice to labor, he recom- mended the same thing for morgan ized capital
 Local workers and labor leaders in the audience disagreed with the speaker on the efficacy of the factory representation plan to minimize in- dustrial friction and effect a better understanding between the worker and his employer Among the things asked MT. Merritt at the end of his talk was:
 ''Why is 1t that some employers blacklist a man because he belongs to the union ?''
 Mr- Merritt replied that he did not think it sound policy or moral right for an employer to discriminate e against a union man, provided he be- longed to a legitimate union, not the I. w. w.

 Any movement which has for its object and purpose the making of the home ties stronger and the family more united entity, augurs well for our country, I therefore welcome the movement which is behind the Father and Son Week. By a. closer relationship between father and son the youth of the land will be given the advantage of the fathers ex- perience and will in that way be bet. ter equipped to take up the burdens of life. More sympathy between the two would help the youth to over- come the temptations which are so alluring and attractive, and a higher plane of citizenship would thereby be established
 I sincerely hope that this move ment will receive the hearty cooper ation which it deserves, which it must have if it is to accomplish the commendable purpose for which this week is set aside.

G. T. EVANS, 80, BELMONT,
DESPONDENT, A SUICIDE.

Belmont, March 4-G. T. Evans, a
well-to-do resident of Belmont, hang
ed himself Sunday morning. Despond-
ency is believed to have been the
cause.
The lifeless body of Mr. Evans who
was about eighty years old, was found
hanging in the coal shed at the rear
Of the home Of his daughter, Mrs Dan
Steele, with whom he and his wife
were living. The discovery was made
by Mrs Steele upon her return from
church about noon Sunday.
Members of the family were unable
to account for Mr. Evans action in
taking his own life, other than that
he had become temporarily despond-
ent over the inactivity resulting from
his advanced age. He was not known
to have any worries and had not COM
planned of feeling badly
The deceased, who was one of the
oldest residents in that section of the
country, was a brother of H. Clay Ev-
ans, who, under the Mckinley admin
istration, was postmaster general
Though Mr.. Evans and his wife have
been living at the home of their daugh-
ter in Belmont they own a large farm
near Platteville where they had lived
until recent years when because of
their advanced age, they went to re-
side with Mrs. Steele
The deceased is survived by his
widow and two children, Mrs Dan
Steele Of Belmont and son, Jess Ev-
ans, of Temple, Texas.

MISSING MAIL SACK
TURNS UP IN SNOW

A few DAYS. before the holidays a
resident of Bagley mailed a letter
containing valuable papers to The
Woodhouse e BARLEY Bank of this
village, and after several weeks had
elapsed and the letter had not ar
rived an investigation was started and
the facts in the case reported to the
chief postoffice Inspector in Chicago.
But the mystery of the case was
cleared up during the recent thaw
when mail pouch made its appear
ance above the snow beside the rail-
road track at Bagley and the missing
letter, with number of others, found
in it. The sack had been hung up to
be caught by the fast limited train at
midnight, but the catcher failed to
work and the sack was thrown to the
ground. 1t showed later in the night
and covered up the sack, which re-
manned covered until the thaw came.
And so another mystery is explained

TERRITORIAL CAPITOL.
RESTORED AT BELMONT,

Wisconsin's pioneer territorial cap
itol at Belmont has had its exterior
restored to its original position as it
stood in the heart of the mining dis
trict to house the first territorial legis-
lature which gathered there Oct 25,
1886. By an act of the 1915 session Of
the Wisconsin legislature the old ter
ritorial capitol has been restored and
will be used as museum for the ex-
hibit of pioneer relics of the territor-
ial days.
1t was at Belmont that the first ter
ritorial legislature voted to change the
seat Of the capitol to Madison and it
was at Belmont that plans were made
for the founding of state university.
The session of the territorial legis-
lature, which met within the humble
rooms at Belmont, lasted forty-six
days and there were AZ laws placed
upon the statute books During the
fifirst session several new counties
were organized among them being
Portage, Green and Grant, the last
being formed by dividing Iowa coun-
ty. The territorial legislature con-
sisted of members representing the
counties of Brown. Milwaukee and
sin and counties of Dubuque and Des
Moines, in what is now known as the
state of Iowa.
Became Pig-Sty.
After the first session of the legis-
lature the town of Belmont gradually
reverted to ruins. The old territorial
capitol became barn and pig-sty and
finally an agitation was started to
have the territorial building restored
to its original position and preserved
as landmark. Gov Philip appoint
