ER the announced intention of the International larvester Company to remove ite plant at Auburn be due to the strike among the workers, as asserted by the man- agers, or te some other cause, it serves to show the power possessed by big business in dealing either with ite employecs or with the com- munity at large. The incident does not stand alone. When demands were made for public supervision of the Stock Exchange some brokers declared they weuld move out of town. It will be recalled that not long ago railroad eempanies used to talk in the same way. They would boast of thelr power to help or hinder a town’s trade at their will. The Interstate Commerce Commission has moderated the boasts, but the inclination fe etill there. The teoue is wide. Some of the most powerfu) beneficiaries of protective tariffs menace the country with a wholesale shutting down of industry if Congress deprives them of the spoils to which thef deem themselves entitled. This attitude of so many of our larger trusts is one of the ugly portents of the time. If captains of industry be wise they will note that it rouses more hostility than fear. A small town here and there may be coerced by the threatened removal of a mill, but not the country. po OUR PUBLIC RECREATIONS. ONCERNING our publicly provided means of recreation Presi- - C dent Mitchel of the Board of Aldermen told a meeting of various civic organizations that “it isn’t human enough and is a little bit too much supervised.” Ho added: “The little things which interest boys while playing among themselves have beon washed out to a certain extent im the recreation centres as conducted by the city.” This view, being a matter of judgment and opinion, cannot be proven beyond dispute, but is probably right. It is easy to have too much supervision over any kind of recreation for young or old. Any form of dance or song or game or pastime needs a considerable degree of freedom from outside control and criticism for the attainment ef joy. Mr. Mitchel also posed a question of pertinence not only to the civic organisations but to all sorte of censors of manners and morals: “Why must the city pay so much for public recreation in view of what the people themselves pay for commercial recreation ?” Announcement that the Park Commissioner intends to permit 10,000 public echool children to have a day in June of athletic sports in Central Park meets with instant protest from those that wish the grounds kept for the delight of esthetes only. Truly there are folks that would let neither child nor man have recreation without washing the jey out of it. A MOST SEASONABLE CASE. ORY DUTY as a rule is not attractive to men whose minds run not gladly to disputation and ratiocination, but the question whether thirty glasses of beer will cause intoxication beyond he power of driving a team has possibilities of pleasing many. Spring has already tempered the mouths of men with a whole- @eme thirst. At no season is beer riper or mellower or more in har- mony with both internal and external nature. Nor can there be a better time for testing one’s ability to drive a team. It can be done mew es “jocund” as in the time when Mr. Gray put the word in the weeabulary of poesy. Why, then, not give the jury the beer and the team and put Wie fevue to 0 test beyond argument?

By Cervantes. the Spanish village of La Mancha dwelt a kindly, eccentric ol@ fellow, Don Quixote, who read so many books of ancient chivalry that he became a little crazy on the subject. | He resolved at last to go forth into the world as a knight errant, avenging wrongs, slaying monsters, overcoming evildoers and rea |eutng beauty in distress. So he had a suit of armor made over for him; chose as his “Queen of Love and Beauty” a plump village girl whom he renamed “Dulcinea;” mounted his aged crowbait horse Rozinante, and, lance fn rest, set forth on his career. Farly in his travels he met a@ fat, level-headed countryman, Sancho Panza by name, and engaged him as his squire. & joking innkeeper created Don Quixote a knight, with a ridiculous ac- colade, A party of travellers against whom he sought to hold a highroad (after the fashion of chivalry’s days) beat him almost to a pulp with his own lance, And many another ludicrous misadventure befell him. But | nothing shook his faith tn his own mission. One day, chancing to see @ tine of windmills, Don Quixote shouted gleefully to his equire: ORE PEO “There are thirty formidable giants I mean te attack.
