were highly interesting and
profitable to all. The Sunday
sessions drew a crowded house.
Dinner and supper were served
in the town hall where the best
of the land was provided in
abundance for all. The officers
elected for the ensuing year were
d. M. Amsberry, moderator; Mrs.
]. H. Kerr, clerk, and G. w.
Ruyan, treasurer.
The association will be held
next year with the Bethel Union
church, being on Friday before
the third Sunday in September,
continuing for three days.
The Missionary committee
elected for the ensuing year con-
sists of Rev. ]. Il. Woods, chair
man, the moderator and clerk of
the association, VIM. Flo, of
Eudell, and Rev. Jewell, of Arm
old.
One of the interesting features
for the delegates returning home
on the west bound train Sunday
night was the long wait in the
depot at Mason City. The train
that was due for the west at
1913 a. m. did not arrive until
$50 a. m. The crowd was so
large that only half could be
seated and no opportunity was
offered for sleep or rest. A por-
ton of the time was occupied in
singing songs, rec1tations and
select reading. Among those
who thus put in the night wait
ing for the delayed train were:
Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Kerr, Mr..
and Mrs. H. E. Zimmerman, Mr..
and Mrs. N. Amsberry, Mr.. and
Mrs. o. II. Mooney, Misses
Florence and Myrtle Amsberry,
Frona Zimmerman, Mrs. George

Gladys Meeks, Madge Morris,

pard, Claude Hoover, Chas. Tur-
pin, Army Dewey; Messers Ben

President Roosevelt shows hi

President Roosevelt shows his
common sense in his letter to the
head of the government printing
office--to whom he writes in
regard to the proposed changes
in the spelling of some words.
He says that he does not want
anything radical-he thought
the experiment was worth trying
Ito have certain words spelled
in more sensible manner, but if
public sentiment does not approve
the movement it will fall to the
ground with its own weight, and
everybody will go back to the old
way of spelling these words. 1t
is probable that in a few cases,
changes can be made without
destroying the value of the words,
but the enthusiasts are apt to GO
too far, and by so doing they
injure their own cause more than
they help it.

Struck a Good Flow.

John Mulvaney, on the South
Loup, wanted a we'll of water
and several 'experts(O" went
down to get it for him, but they
never touched it, so he appealed
to Frank Kelsey, who took his
"old rigging" -as the other
fellows called it-over to Null
vaney's place and about g feet
from where hole had been made
by an Oconto man, Frank set err
agoing and in just a day and a
half he had heaps and plenty of
water. 1t isn't the most ex-
pensive machines that get water,
but the knowing how-that's
where Kelsey glistens.

criticisms of his government

He didn't throw in that rusty

Der 18th ten cents extra would be
charged in eac hand every unin shop
in the city for neck shaving Here

Municipal ownership.

After more than a year in tho Office 10
which he was elected on a platform de
manding municipal ownership and control
Of the trolley systems Of the city, Mayor
Dunno of Chicago has accomplished prac-
tically nothing in the way of making good
the ante-election promises of the political
organization by which he was elected.
He first brought over a street railway
expert from Glasgow, Scotland, where
municipal ownership and control Of public
utilities come nearer to success than in
any other city, but was informed by the
expert that the Glasgow system, applied
to Chicago under the political conditions
prevailing in the latter city, would be a
very costly experiment and an absolute
failure from business point Of view.
Still the mayor is persevering, but thus
far he has made no practical progress.
#Mayor Dunno S latest scheme is for the
city to buy the existing lines Of street rail-
ways, at a probable cost Of s75,OOO,OOO,
and the first step is to procure authority,
by vote of the people at a special election
to borrow this sum Of money. But there
is serious opposition TO the city incuring
this enormous liability, and steps in this
direction will be resisted by legal pro-
ceedings, and pending the vote Of authority
for the loan, and whatever fight may be
made in the courts, the mayor proposes:
"lhat the street car companies CONSOLE
date; then hold an appraisal Of their tan
gible property and such rights as have yet
a few years to run; permit the companies
TO improve their system and bring il up to
date under an agreement that the money
thus expended should be paid back when
the city took over the lines; let the COM
panios operate the road temporarily and
get dividends at a fixed rate on the valu-
alton obtained in this way, the company
and the city to divide any additional
profits and the citys share to be placed
in a separate fund; and provide for the
taking over of the rehabilitated system
by the city whenever the city S rights arc
definitely declared.
This plan does not promise mu-
nioipal ownership in Chicago during
Mayor Dunne's term of Office, and
therefore it is reasonable to pre-
dict that the question will be a lead
ing issue at the next municipal election.
Then Mayor Dunno may be candidate
for reelection on municipal ownership
platform or if not he some other can
didate will stand for this issue. The
opponents of municipal ownership will
have their candidate for mayor, and then
Chicago voters will thresh the entire ques-
tion all over again
Thus, the test of another municipal
election may set aside the question of
municipal ownership for several more
years There arc evidences that the
project is not so attractive to the people
as IL was when they last voted upon t.
now that they have boen enlightened
with practical information, II may be-
that at another election municipal owner
ship would fail to receive the approval

offIoIals wIthout DutIee.

The Civil Service Commission Of Chi
cago is investigating the case Of an official
OF that city. Mr. Patrick White, a Third
ward politician who holds the office of
inspector Of bridges There are plenty
Of bridges in Chicago. but Inspector
White does not pretend 10 inspect them,
because under the law that duty involves
upon and is performed by an official
known as the bridge engineer So Inspector
White draws a salary for doing nothing.
But doubt has been thrown upon the
natural contention that this condition is
proof Of neglect of duty, by the fact that
there never were any duties attached to
the Office held by Inspector White. The
inspection Of bridges was a duty incum-
bent upon another official at the time he
was elected TO office, and has been ever
since. Therefore, it is held, Mr. Inspector
White is not ncglecting his official duty
because he never had any official duty to
perform
This is a very curious situation, but Will
mington can match g. We have in this
city young colored man who was elected
TO the office Of clerk TO the city treasurer.
Now. while the selection Of q colored man
for this office is very distasteiul to the
city treasurer and TO some other people
there was no warrant in law for interpos-
ing any objection by reason OF the young
man color and the obiectors were COM
pellod to make the best Of It, Later
however it.was discovered that the young
colored man was not competent to per-
form the duties Of the office and additional
help was secured for the performance of
the work he was expected TO do. But the
young colored man is still retained in the
Office. and draws his salary regularly, not
withstanding the fact that his official
duties fall TO the lot Of someone else.
This situation even surpasscs the one
ia Chicago. There is no question raised
in the latter city against the competency
Of Bridge Inspector White. He does
nothing for his salary merely because the
law provides nothing for him to do. But
thcro is plenty of work for our treasurer 5
clerk to do, and he is not competent to
perform It,
What shall be said Of tho City Council
which permits this incompetent official
20 draw pay for duties which he cannot
perform, and for the performance of which
another clerk has to be employed
