William Penn was once urging a
man he knew to stop drinking to ex.
.ess when the man suddenly asked.
HCan you tell me Of an easy way to do
1t Yes, 'enn replied readily ut

friend. = Convince me Of that the
man explained, 1and vii promise up
on my honor to do as you tell me-"
well, my friend, z Penn answered,
whenever thee finds q glass Of liquor
in thy hand open that hand before the
glass touches thy lips, and thee will
never drink to excess again.

for that purpose bought a calf, which
he took up to his apartments at night

NO such common motive lies be-

the real purpose is ito discourage sen
Eators and representatives from faith
|ering absurd and sensational bills for
the sole purpose Of seeing their names
in the papers and getting themselves
talked about The evil he desires to
abate ought to be cured, for it is a
menace to the state. 1t is expensive.
1t requires a line or two here and
there in the senate journal and con-
sumes the time of legislative commit

glory to the 1awmaker who INDUCES
his desire for notoriety in that way
1t misleads and deceives the public,
for the senator evidently assumes that
the readers of the newspapers are in
fantile in their intelligence and cannot
detect false moves of the sort he in
tends to discourage. AS he reasons,
the only way to mitigate the bad eff
feet of such spurious attempts at leg
islation is to adopt the same methods
as have worked so excellently in Rus

thing more than is good for it. =

THE COMMISSION PLAN OF GOV
ERNiNG CITIES. /.

EnNiN1 OtJlESs ne u
The commission system of govern
ing cities that has worked SO well
where it has been adopted, is now be-
fore the North Dakota legislature in
the senate. championed by Mr.. Hanna,
and in the house by Mr.. Peake The
commission scheme looks to the man
agement of a city's affairs on much
the same basis as that of private
corporation or business enterprise.
Under commissioners elected at large
it is presumed that ones politics will
not be considered, SO much as his gem
5eral fitness and business ability.
The measure presented makes it OPP
tional with cities of 1000 population.
and over to adopt its provisions.
Those cities may have it that want it,
Under the system proposed there will
be five commissioners one president
Of the board of city commissioners,
and four city commissioners. The!
presidents term is fixed at four years,
two of the commissioners at two years
and two at four years. This commits
sion has full charge Of the city's af-
fairs. 1t makes all appointments in
all the departments of the city gov
eminent. This commission is author
lied to designate from among their
members one commissioner who shall
be known as police and fire commits
sloner, another who shall be known
as commissioner Of streets and pub.
lie improvements. another as water
works and sewerage commissioner, =
and another as Commissioner Of
finance and revenue. Il These commits
sioners are directly responsible for
their respective departments and
shall audit all accounts, subject to APP
prevail by at least three commissions
ers. Regular meetings Of the commits
sion are to be held weekly. The city
treasurer, auditor, attorney, assessors.
street commissioner, chief Of police
and all other officers and boards are
appointed by the commission who sfix
their salaries.
The bill provides all the machinery,
and is as simple as possible, for the
change from the present system ST
government to the commission propo-
sition, and the general powers now
had by city councils are given the
commission. It is not radical change.
except in the sense that change
from a political and unbusiness-like
government to careful, business adj
ministration would be radical. ~
Senator Hanna, who has given this
proposed Galveston commission plan
cons derable study, believes il the
commission system should Be adopted
in his city the public debt Of Fargo
could be wiped out in ten years.
Repre alive Peake has also
given this subject much thought and
IS convinced that the saving to the
taxpayers and the benefits to be de
rived under this system are almost be-
yond comprehension. II
The subject is worthy Of careful at.
1 tention and inasmuch as the adoption
/ is optional for any city there is good
argument for the passage Of the nea-

A BOARD WALK.
D. ]. Mahaney Doesn't Want to
 Swim 10 Brooklyn.
Waterbury. Feb IS. 1907.

Waterbury, Feb IS. 1907. Editor Evening Democrat:
 Dear Sir: The long looked for board walk in the Brooklyn district, promised by the mayor and the board of public works some six months ago, has as yet failed to materialize. Per- haps they are waiting until about all of Brooklyn is foated over to the old Naugatuck railroad station when the spring freshets begin. If big rain storm should come under the pres ent conditions. with the amount of snow that lies on the hills above us, 1t will flood Brooklyn as 1t never was flooded before. What will become of the 5000 or more foot passengers who daily tramp to and from the fac tories? So far as the trolley or teams are concerned, let them swim out. It is the poorer class of people who will be affected. They cannot afford to pay trolley fares, neither can they afford to own team. That board walk would be blessing in more ways than one. It will save the city good many damage suits if it is built at once. I am going away for a few months and I trust that when I return I can step from the train on to the new walk without any dan ger of having to swim over to the Brooklyn district.
 Respectfully yours,
 D. J. MAHANEY.

HEARING ON CONDUlTS
Waterbury Men Before Legisla-
 lure al Hartford Yesterday.

The hearing at Hartford yesterday on the application of the city of Wa terbury to build conduits in the pub lie street was interesting from start to finish and while 1t was discourag- ing to see ten or twelve attorneys de claim against the wisdom of permit ting the taxpayers of Waterbury to use their own streets for this purpose 50 long as private interests wanted them, it was also refreshing to hear City Attorney Kellogg. Mayor 'rhoms, Engineer Cairns and Commissioner Walker state the city's side of the case and note the efforts of counsel for the opposition to side step leading questions as to the right of the city to engage in this line of municipal en- terprise. MT Moran of New Haven led the forces for the private cOrpOr- ations and wanted to know where the city would get the money to do this class of work and hinted sneeringly that soon Waterbury would Want to engage in the business of manufactur- ing electricity, to which Mir Kellogg promptly replied that Waterbury can raise sufficient funds at low rate of interest to enable it to engage in any line of business its citizens de- eide to take hold of He reminded the New Haven limb of the law that there are many public utilities which Waterbury would like to control and which 1t could conduct successfully end that the lighting of Its streets is one of them. The city could conduct that business at profit and has made one successful effort to engage in it. but those who have it don't care to retire. Mayor Thoms showed the advantage i'll a public way of having the conduits built by the city and the matter of burying wires under one head. The disadvantage of having different corporations working in the streets was illustrated by Engineer Cairns, who showed that in one place on Bank street they have conduit and trolley tracks directly over the water main. Commissioner Walker vas appointed spokesman for the board. nf public works and talked at some length on the merit of the ap- plication.
 The city delegation was composed of Mayor Thoms, City Attorney Kel- logg, Engineer Cairns. Commissioners Walker. Finn. Nell, Hartnett, Den- nlson and Assistant City Clerk James R. LawlOr.

McCLARY.FIERO.
Friends Followed Decorated Carriage
 ina Sleigh To-day.

Ernest McClary. an employe of the New England Engineering company, and Miss Bertha Fiero. employed in the office of the New England Watch factory. were married yesterday at the home of Rev MT Walter on Chest nut avenue. Although the couple had told their friends of their in- tention to wed. they did not state the time, but their friends were not to be caught mapping and after doing much telephoning and making many inquiries learned that the ceremony was to take place yesterday. Sev- eral of the girls procuring a we'll known veterinary went to the scene of the wedding in sleigh and while the couple were in getting the knot tied, the hack was decorated with all kinds of ornaments and posters.
 Mir and Mrs McClary expected to leave on the 2:49 train for a we'd ding trip, but when they saw they were caught in their little act. they gave the hackman instructions to drive them out east so they could catch car and go by trolley. The hackman started and so did the sleigh. The race continued down Chestnut avenue. up West Main, up North Main, over to Cherry, up Wal nut. down Orange on to East Main again and from there out to the wait ing station at the Mattatuck factory. There the couple jumped from the cab and allowed the cabbie to con- tinue. believing that their pursuers would be deceived and follow the hack. But the girls in the sleigh were not so easy and when they reached the station they jumped from the sleigh and showered the bride and groom with rice and con- fetti. even going so far as to board the car and make the passengers aware of what had just happened.

JOINED THE c. o. P.
We'll Known Attorney Who Was
 Looked Upon as 6 Democrat.

Attorney John F. McGrath has withdrawn his allegiance from the democratic party and joined the re- publican party. A few days ago he became a member of the Third Ward Republican club. Attorney McGrath was a delegate to the democratic congressional convention. which was held in the city hall auditorium last fall and he was one of the strongest workers for Attorney Wallace of New Haven. who won the nomination. Mir Wallace was unknown and unheard of in Waterbury until the day of the convention. Through the agency of Henry C. O'Sullivan of New Haven. Mr Wallace became acquainted with Attorney McGrath. who instantly took a great liking for the New Haven lawyer and practically took of his coat and worked up his candidacy such fervor that Attorney Mes;rath himself believed Mr Wallace would win.
 What his reasons for going back on political faith of his fathers Attorney Mctirath did not care to state. He simply said he did it and that was all.
 It is even intimafed that he has hopes of getting some of the new berths which the legislature is ex- pected to create. There will be an as sisfant prosecuting attorney to ap- point in the city court and there may also be . deputy judge of that estab- lishmenf. Attorney M- ]. Byrne has his eyes on the latter. and it is said that Representative Hayes can have either If bc wants 1t.
