ALL THAT CLIPPERS IS NOT eo onD

ALI THAT CRITTERS IS NOT COED
 Every new device by which the peo- pie in this country can escape some of the responsibility for their own gov ernment which belongs to them Is hailed as reform and as the cure of all the Ills that have sprung up because the people have failed to govern them- selves we'll Municipal government by commission is the latest scheme to be so hailed, and 1t is finding much favor. And yet it is properly criticized as taking the administration too far from the people, and putting 1t into hands given too much arbitrary power with out sufficient, If any check or control Municipal Engineering has been study ing this scheme, and 1t has come to some correct conclusions concerning it. It points out that so long as the inoumbents are honest and compet- ent and capable of working together, this method may be successful, as it undoubtedly has been in Galveston, but all are elected on a general ticket and in a city where dishonest ring controls elections there is no check upon the officials elected. And dif- ferences in politics or in opinion re- garding methods may lead to conten- tions in the commission which will greatly interfere with progress and may even stop all progress. There seems to be no way of remedying this difficulty. The Des Moines plan at- |tempts to remedy this by means of the provision for the removal of obnoxi- ous officials, but the process is so com plex and the appeal is so likely to be put on political grounds that it's prac- tical application with good effect is doubtful.
 Long ago Alexander Pope said:
 For forms of government let fools
 contest
 Whate'er is best administered is best" Perhaps the people of the United States will ultimately find that they don't gain much except more wrinkles by adopting and experiment. Ing with new governmental wrinkles made attractive by failure to well use the old forms.

in all of the associations of man. It would be lamentable if this were not so.
 So at last the time has come for the gospel of repose to be preached. The country has been wicked. Let that be confessed at once and the lesson again learned that confession is good for the soul. Let 1t also be recognized that the country is not headed for the demni- tion bow-wows. The blood may be flowing slowly through the veins and arteries but the condition has its en- couraging phases. The lesson has been taught by a severe schoolmaster, the rod has been laid upon the unruly but the body polite is far from lost to it's career of great usefulness. It will be the stronger for the experience if it is now left to recover according to the ways of Mother Nature. She is not re- lentless. She is wise and knowing and her wisdom and knowledge teach that having stumbled and fallen the thing to do is to get up and go on with the race making 1t this time with a fuller comprehension of the rules of the game. All can help at this under taking and all should.

PRETTY SERIOUS PRoPHECr.

Prophet Johnson makes his prophe- cies as a prophet ought to-without hesitation or hedging He has made so many that some of them have been fulfilled, Those that have been fulfilled have been remembered, and those that have not been have been forgotten, Such is the kindly-c careless disposition of the people toward the prophets in these days. The prophets are not stoned, even when they deserve to be- But when Prophet Johnson undertook to prophecy something quite like a flood for this time he made a serious move. His prophecy has been much noticed because it's fulf11lment has been much desired. It hasn't been fulfilled yet. To-day is the last of the days he mentioned in which it was to be fulfilled. Even if 1t shouldn't be fulfilled to-day and should be fulfilled soon he wouldn't suffer much in his reputation as a prophet. People would perhaps say that he was accurate enough if he should strike it within a week. And as it must rain sometime, and as 1t hasn't rained for long time, it is more likely to rain soon than 1t has been. But if Prophet Johnson does completely fail now it will not be so easily forgotten as most of his fail ures have been. A prophet who fails in foretelling rain now will be with out honor among those who want and need the rain. He will be allowed to continue to live and prophecy If he wants to, but he wont be deeply re- spected, But if it should happen to rain right off he could say q told you so,' without being resented.

they will not be powerful enough to soothe those who delight in the open cars. It is true that there are many accidents due to the open car system, and the carelessness with which it is used by the railroad companies and the public. It is also true that open cars are as pleasing and cooling as the open-work waists. There is much riding for pleasure alone on the open
 cars. How much of a factor this is in the receipts of the railroad companies we do not know. But if open cars
 are taken off it will perhaps be dis covered. Everybody will hope that they are not going to be taken off. Wouldn't it be better for all concern ed to try to make an improvement in
 the working of the open-car system
 before 1t is finally thought wise to
 abolish it?

MRud Modern Muller.

Maud Modern Muller, bucollc' maid, Was busily raking the hay (Mercury hundred and ten in the shade And the shade half mile away). Along came the Judge in an automobile, During campaign year. He called to Maud across the hot field Cor he was out to electioneer). Miss Maud she wiped her brow with a
 rag
 And replied like free mans daugh-

 that gag
 About you wanting drink of water" @Come, come" said the Judge, you're

 To chase the drouth from your

4 NEW WAT.

There Is "something new in automo- biles," and It Is perhaps not surprising that 1t offers new way to dle. An ingenious German Is the discoverer and applyer of it. He has made a motor car in which the motive power is car- bcnic acid gas, The present popular construction, in which spark motor and petrol give the power, is dispensed with, and in place of these the car is supplied with two carbonic acid cylin- ders, from which the power is derived. One of the advantages Is that the car- bonic acid gas, after being used, is again returned to the cylinders and is used over and over again. The cylin- ders are constructed exceedingly strong to resist the tremendous pressure to which they are subjected.
 It is sadly said that the one great danger, explosion in case of collision, makes this invention impractical for the present, but 1t is hoped that this source of danger will be overcome Why should anybody wait for 1t to be overcome? If 1t is glorious to die after the present fashion of reckless automo- bilists, wouldn't 1t be much more so to be thoroughly exploded to death??

Hopeless.
(Boston Transcript.l

For many years Newfoundland has been losing many of the hardest and most enterprising of her sons to the United States, and especially to Mas sachusetts. They are welcome here; they are true, strong men, of our own elementary race stock; they are essen- tially Americans of the Americans. It is to turn back this tide that the New foundland government has gone to the extraordinary length of attempting to nullify an ancient treaty between Great Britain and the United States. The case Is one which the United States can submit with the utmost confidence to an impartial tribunal of arbitration And as to the Newfoundland effort to arrest the drift of her young men to a land of larger opportunities, it is about as hopeless as it would be to attempt to broom back from Newfoundland cliffs the flooding surges of the Atlan- tic

MUST THE OPEN CAR COP

It is going, and going pretty fast too, but must it go out of the run ming? It is announced by the Union Traction company of Albany New York, that it will retire from it's sys- tenn all open electric cars, and it Is be- ing intimated that other companies will follow suit because the abolition of the running board will remove many dangers the passengers and the conductors are subjected to and the closed cars will be more economical because of use every day in the year.
 These are certainly reasons, or ex- cuses, for taking off the open cars, but

ANONYMOUS pUBLICISTs,

A most interesting and suggestive feature of daily newspaper is the correspondence which flows in from subscribers and readers in which they give their views fearlessly but politely, whether they happen to agree with the policy of the newspaper addressed or not. In their way these letters from the people perform notable service in mirroring public opinion and it is only the inadequately edited news paper which shrinks from printing communications which take issue with it,

A Michigan Notion.
(Detroit News.)

When your county conventions are called demand of the men whom you Isend that they immovably Support the Roosevelt policy. Send no man to the district convention until he has pledged his word to stand with the adminis- tration. Send no man to the State convention who will vote for any dele gate not sworn to the Roosevelt ideas. By doing this you will defeat the sly trickery of the corporation power in Michigan. and when the na- tional convention is called Michigan will be found solidly for the perpetu- alton of the Roosevelt policy, with Roosevelt as leader if we can get him. and if not, with the magnificent com mission for William Howard Taft.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
The Attack on Nature Takers.
Iwaterburv American.)

(Waterbury American.)
 President Roosevelt's fierce return to the attack upon Dr. Long after 1t was supposed that he would let the others reply pass in dlgnified silence, exhibits that phase of character which fills some with despair, but makes other people like him. The dignity of office sits lightly upon him. and he apparently sees no reason why the President of the United States should not engage in a personal controversy like a private citizen There is one reason which his love of fair play ought to make him recognize, that his official greatness gives him such an advantage that no opponent, however good his cause can stand before him in controversy.

Here is a part of speech delivered in court by Babu lawyer: What they say is very, if not most, ridicu- lously absurd to believe. Indeed, it is They say that the blood flew, and they did nothing to put the wounded into ease. This, sir, is lie, an unmitigated lie-or rather false- hood, or fable, or story, or, as Byron .sarcastically observes, a terminal ex- actitude. These buffaloes never used to graze on the field, which is not act Iually even proper grazing meadow. The destination which they started was half mile from the exposure to which they went Unless they did not ride on lightning horses, how could they reach to that premises In five minutes? Can any man-idiot even-- will not believe such a stupid concoc- tation."

Cedar wood Is much esteemed for its lasting quality when used for fenceposts. An interesting proof of the power of this wood to resist the effects of time is furnished by the Egyptian boats made of cedar which were recently found buried near the banks of the Nile, and which, accord ing to recent estimates of their age, were probably in use 4,500 years ago.
