THE shock to the modesty of the
! guardian of Washington's morals
the other day was almost overwhelm-
ing when his eye caught an animated,
dazzling and highly colored poster of
the dance of SalOme.
"Avaunt from my sight, ye tempt
ress," he cried as he slowly recov-
cred his moral standard. Forthwith
he determined that the capital could
not gaze upon these pictures of the
dancer in full career.
The edict of this moral censor
who is H. L. Gessford, inspector of po-
lice, is law, so far as it concerns the
atrical posters, and so the Washing
ton billboards will be barren of
SalOme.
Thus was Gertrude Hoffman, who
had "a vision of SalOme' to present to
the capital at one of the leading the
aters, banished from the sight of the
casual passerby, the street urchin and
the student of billboard art.
The offending posters now repose in
the dark recesses of the stage of the
theater, while actors and managers
and attaches gather about and declare
them martyrs to the cause of art.

swell pictures should be condemned,

THE liveliest question in Washing

the districts form of government.
AS everybody probably we'll knows
affairs are administered now by a CON-
mission of three men appointed by
the president, one of whom must be an
army engineer.
There is undoubtedly growing
opinion that concentration of au.
thOrity in the district government
would simplify the municipal situation
and produce better results. The COM
mission plan has it's good features.
1t has long been held up as a model,
ideally suited to the needs of the Dis
trict of Columbia, where suffrage is
denied. But frequent and repeated
contention and pickering among the
members of the board have served to
create more or less general criticism
of the commission plan, and thus give
the propaganda for change some mo-
mentum. With the commissioners OBJ.

may be necessary for Senator McCum-

vertisement in the newspapers of his

In the second week of his strenuous
campaign for the presidency Judge
Taft invaded North Dakota. He was
accompanied by cold wave that met
him at Minneapolis. Great prepara-
tions had been made for his enter
tainment at Fargo, where the arrange
ments contemplated a visit by the
Republican presidential candidate to
big barbecue near the edge of the
city. All these plans were outlined to
Mr.. Taft by local committee which
boarded the train at Crookston, MINI.
When Mr.. Taft limited that he had no
garment to protect him from the cold,
local committeeman said they would
see to it that he was provided with
proper habiliments.
When the Taft special reached
Grand Forks, Senator McCumber got
Fargo on the long-distance telephone
and said he wanted the chairman of
the county committee to be at the
station with an overcoat that would

Citizens Want a Change in Government

this example by engaging in noisy con-
trOversies, it is logical sequence that
the present form of government
should gradually be somewhat under
mined.
Many substantial citizens and large
taxpayers are convinced that a one
headed government would work more
smoothly and satisfactorily. This is
no new conviction on their part. 1t
has been emphasized in recent eXhi-
bitions of division in the present tri-
umvirate, it is true, but the advisable
ity of concentrated authority has ap-
pealed to them for years.
These citizens, however, who hon.
estly believe in the wisdom of a
change for the public good see great
danger in going before congress and
asking for change at this time. If
by simple act one commissioner or
governor could be substituted for the
triumvirate they would urge it earn.

proposition would mean the opening
up of the whole question of the rela-

government, with possible alteration
of the organic act and perchance the
granting of unrestricted suffrage.

argue, than invite ills we know not of,
especially as the ills we now have,
though vexatious, impose no heavy
burdens and involve no maladminis-

Lamar, Col.-Miss Downing, a niece
Of Mrs. James Haselton, and who was
with her aunt when the latter was
drowned, has recovered sufficiently to
tell of their experiences.
Miss Downing and her aunt spent
two days with relatives II miles from
Lamar, on the north side of the river,
started to drive to this city in a single
horse buggy. To do this the treacher-
GUS Big Sandy creek had to be forded.
The women were acquainted with the
crossing and, finding but little water
in the stream, they drove in. When
in the middle of the current the horse
stepped in a hole, fell back in the har-
ness and quickly drowned.
Neither of the women could swim
and they were afraid to wade. Until
three o'clock they sat in the buggy
calling for help, which was not forth
coming. Then a wall Of water ten feet
high rolled down the creek, sweeping
it's victims into the stream. With great
presence of mind, Miss Hazel tore
most of her clothing from her and
called for her aunt to strike for the
floating horse and buggy. Struggling
to the side Of the dead horse, both
women were swept down the creek,
two miles into the churning waters of
the Arkansas
AS soon as the body of the dead
horse was caught by the river current
1t was drawn down under and the Wo-
men were again without support. Mrs.

to find man of the Taft physical pro-

ranch is only few miles from Fargo.
Finn weighs $40 pounds. The coun nty
chairman lost no time in getting in

Would he loan it to Judge Taft for

a lifelong Republican miss chance
to have his finest garment adorn the
shoulders of the leader of his party?
Ten minutes later the overcoat was
in the hands of the county chairman
and Judge Taft was tucked beneath
it's ample folds as soon as his train
reached Fargo. He wore the coat to
the barbecue and to the meetings fol-
lowing the feast. And for all that
Finn knows he may be wearing it
now as he follows the elusive golf ball
over the links at Hot Springs.
The $175 mink lined overcoat dis
appeared when Judge Taft left Fargo.
Nobody seems to know where it is. Its
owner has asked Senator McCumber

going to be the most severe winter
