Tn Connecticut where Fast Day has
not yet been abolished Governor
Woodruff has designated Friday, April
II, as the day to be observed this year
"as day of devotion, of fasting and
of prayer" That is Good Friday and
is a most sensible selection, although
by the old traditions Of the day it al
ways fell on Thursday as Thanksgiv-

The Experiment in De. Meines.


Des Moines, the capital city of Iowa,
has been given lot of advertising of
late as one city which has ventured to
follow the Galveston idea of municipal
government by commission. Although
Galveston was the first city to inaugu-
rate such a policy of city government
"a step which it took not SO much as
the result of careful elaboration as an
emerge ncy measure after the great
tidal wave disaster which almost
wiped it out Of existence few years
ago-the plan has generally been re-
ferred to as the Des Moines plan rath-
er than as the Galveston plan This
is why there was general interest
throughout the country in the first
election in Des Moines under the new
plan.
This election was held last week and
resulted in several surprises. There
were two tickets in the field, one
favored by those who had advocated
the new system of government by
commission and one endorsed by those
who had opposed the change. No
doubt there were local issues involved
which affected the result, though no
mention of them is given in the dis
patches. After very exciting cam
paign and an unusually large vote the
ticket of the element which had
worked for the new plan was decisive
,y defeated and that of those who had
been opponents to the change was
elected by large majority. This
seems Il very paradoxical result, but
the free American citizen sometimes
does some queer things at the polls.
Just now Des Moines is wondering
whether the new plan will have fair
and adequate trial during the next
two years, while those running things
are men who had earlier vigorously
fought the new plan. 1t would seem
the reasonable thing that the first
commission administration would have
Jared better in the hands Of those
favoring the new system, but probably
the people of Des Moines know what
they want and voted accordingly.
Under the system there will be
mayor and four commissioners, each
of the four commissioners administer
ing some department of the city affairs.
The five, sitting together as a coun-
ell. will appoint other executive Off
Gals and fix their salaries. The COM
missioners are intrusted with much
power and discretion, subject to popu-
lar control by means of the referen-
dun and also through the device of
the recall" Any commissioner may
be voted out Of Office during his term
for inefficiency, neglect of duty, COR
ruption or other cause, provided GER
tain number of electors first petition
for the exercise of the right of recall
and provided a majority subsequently
condemns him as unfit. To all STU
dents Of municipal reform, and espe-
cially, of the commission plan, Des
Moines will be like city set upon a
hill for the next few years. Its ex-
pertinent will be followed with deep in
terest.
