WILL CAUSE TROUBLE.

It occurs to us that Virginia's new game laws are likely to cause much worry and guessing when the attempt Is made to enforce their provisions strictly and impartially. For example, if man takes out a license to hunt small game he pays s10 for it and is allowed to shoot reed birds, plover, snipe, ortolan and other fowl of like kind, but If he wants to hunt waterfowl. for instance, he must get a s25 license.
 Now. suppose he has the lesser license and is out snipe shooting. We will say, and a duck flies up and is shot, what will result? Can he be punished for hunt ing water-fowT' without a license? He is not hunting them, bear in mind, but one gets in his way accidently, and his gun goes off, also accidently; and a dead duck is the result. How will the courts class the offence? If they hold that he is not violating the law. under such provGcation, is it not pretty sure that such accidents will be continually occurring? It strikes us that waterfowl will develop a remarkable faculty for getting in the way of the $1O sportsman and his gun will naturally go off when one comes near 1t. There will be a de- msnd for some Solomons in the Old Dominion if we guess right.

THE ETERNAL QUESTION.
How One Community Solved the Vex
 atious Servant Girl Problem.

From San Miguel a mining camp in the cop per country of Southern Arizona come the glad tidings that the great problem of the centuries has at last been solved-and by wo- men, of course. The recent celebration of its fourth anniversary by the San Miguel Co-op- erative Cooking Club calls attention to the manner in which the servant question has been robbed of it's terrors through the sue cessful inauguration of a community of in trest' plan. This club consists of forty-fve families. accustomed to refinements and pleas ant surroundings. Some four years ago the women of the camp after unsuccessful indI- vidual attempts to procure and retain proper domestic service, put their heads together and organized the club, leased a suitable house in the central part of the town. engaged matron and hired a number of capable Chinese ser wants writes Robert Webster Jones in the Sep tember Housekeeper. Each family has it's own table, and the unmarried ones have a table to themselves
 The purchase of the supplies Is entrusted to an executive committee of three Experience shows that the families have saved on all av- craze 50 perecent. in living expenses since the formation of the club. the service is bet ter. and the food Is of higher quality than could have been afforded under the old system
 It Is apparent at a glance that the oondi- tions which made the San Miguel Cooking Club a success are not common to all parts of the United States Chinese servants. for instance. are not generally procurable, and there is a feeling of comradeship, engcndered by the sharing of hardships, in the less thiclSly set tied communities, that is not so apparent in those sections of the country which have been longer inhabited. But the relief experienced by the housekeepers of San Miguel from the haunting fear that Bridget may give motive" any day, or exact a few additional "privileges' from her long suffering employer, must be de- hghtful. and the success of the San Miguel ex- pertinent will at least serve as a valuable ob- feet lesson in the solving of this most vexa- tiouS problem

one way or another, this reform has been instituted in most of the cities of the United States. The fact that 1t has been general IS proof that 1t was needed; and the fact that 1t has been continued now for many years is proof that 1t has pro- duced the anticipated results Mobile, for one, never could get any public improve ments until she departed from the sys- tenn of government by committee; and in the few years of her experiment with the board system she has made n remarka. Ole progress, as all our people witness.
 The recess bill proposes a retrograde movement and a return to the committed system; the readoption of the unwieldly and non-productIve methods of the past. It aggrandibzes the legislative branch ali the expense of the executive and judi cial; 1t makes the executive a legisla tive officer; it puts the recorder or police justice under obligation to the council, it takes charge of public Improvements, carries them into effect and approves of them by committed: and, finally, it has sole authority to elect as many officers as it wishes and to fix for them any com pensation it pleases. Even the question whether the municipality shall or shall not go back to the old and universally condemned method Is not left to the peo. pie, but the power to decide Is vested in the council; and premium, in the shape of increase of power is offered to the council which should influence its decision Tn favor Of this steu backward.

The Municipalities Bill.

Broadly considered, this bill Cthe Senate municipalities bilD proposes the establish ment of municipal government by council, called in the bill board of aldermen" and is in contract with the more modern form, known as the board system, specfl- cally provided for by the Walker munici- palities bill now pending coincidentally with the recess bill in the State Legisla- ture.
 The board system is the outcome of re- peated. not to say continuous failure of the council system to give satisfactory government. After nearly one hundred years of various kinds of extravaganza realization of the fact that a legislative body, such as is the council. should not be trusted with executive duties. The body was too large, and. therefore, trans and the committees, not having beeR chosen by the people for the particular work. were not especially qualified to do 1t; moreover, there being division of responsibilitl, there was practically no re- sponsiblity. Government by committee it came to be at last, and along with such government was necessarily waste, politt- cal favoritism, and general absence of progress.
 The people decided that what was need ed was an executive head who should be given full power and held immediately ansWerable for the exercise of that pow CT. It was agreed that the Mayor should be such executive head, and. as his du- ties were to be greatly enlarged he was provided with special agents to assist him. such as the Board of Works, the Board of Police Commissioners. each board being elected or appointed with the view of doing a special work and none other; and the Mayor being a member of all such boards and virtually using them as the machinery of the executive office. The council was at the same time con fined to its legitimate function-that of providing the ways and means for the conduct of the government, and in a gem eral way saying what should be done or, rather, defining the limit of what should be done.
 The people also elected a judge and against the municipality, thus taking from the Mayor his judicial power and confining him to executive functions. leav- ing him. however, the veto power over municipal legislation.
 We are not in this reciting the history of municipal reform in Mobile only. In
