and taken before the insanity

to deliberate at any length upon
the question as to his sanity.
He is said to have been a we'll

twice sent to an insane asylum

WHERE THE GALVESTON IDEA
OF CITY GOVERNMENT FAILS

Since Galveston rose from her wreck
her idea OF city government has taken
hold widely. II was discussed In BOs-
ton recently. The idea, briefly, is 10
select I'VE men 10 do specific things.
such as police, finance, public works,
etc, all 10 constitute the governing
board. Discussing the system, the Bos-
ton Transcript says;
1t seems to Us that the Galveston
scheme fails 10 reach the one influence
most responsible for bad municipal gov
eminent as completely as anything we
now have That is the belief of a large
part Of the voters that they pay no
taxes. and hence they have no great
interest in economic government. The
diffusion OF direct taxation through
rents and the costs of running the cor
ner grocery, obscures the fact from
thousands of people that they are pay
ing anything AT all. They accordingly
prefer lavish. snowy and even Wasteful
municipal expenditures In this state OF
the public mind neither the election OF
officers on the partisan and oeogra phic
basis nor their selection t. do things ID
would be far reaching In its effect The
New England town government theory
Is ideal not only because il stands for
control by selected men, bat also be-
cause SO large proportion OF the CON-
munity realizes that every additional
thousand dollars voted in town meet
ing means so much higher rate for them

ments-

When financial kings are brought

said T. +. Belknap. a New York insur-

by recalling the trick OF a famous col

the stage tugging at a thick cable,
while a fearful noise emanated from
N 2 wings at the other end Of the rope.
Nobody knew what was on the end
OF IL, but expectation, based on the vol
ume Of noise, rose high. Well, after
he pulled and tugged and fought for a
few minutes a little yellow dog that
YOU could put in your pocket walked
out on the stage.
This was the case with +. II. Harrf-
man. the railroad wizard. when he was
called before the assurance investi-
eating committee in New York. Most
people pictured Hartman a big,
square jawed man Weighing at least
200 pounds. When he stepped up on
the stand he turned out 10 be a little
chap about five and one-half feet tall
and weighing about 135 pounds He
had a thin. small voice and a general
air Of timidity-
Thomas r. Ryan created surprise
for quite another reason. His pic
/ lures give the impression OF short
heavy man with a bull neck. He turn

height about six feet five inches, and
quite slender.
