BUREAU FOR MUNICIPALITIES.

Lately in New York, certain finan-
ciers have organized bureau for mu-
nicipal research This bureau aims
at the comprehensive compilation of
statistics on all subjects which per-
tain to modern civic life. Especially
is the bureau concerned with the an
nua1 expenditures of the comptrollers
in the several cities. A prospectus is
to be mailed to all the city govern
ments in America.
This bureau has in it the germ for
much solid improvement in municipal
affairs. In many cities the tax payer
is unable to learn from the report of
the comptroller the way in which his
money is being spent. This often leads
to complications which sometimes
threatens the good name Of an hon.
est comptroller; or lin the case of a
dishonest comptroller and corrupt
city officials) to the concealment of
fraud and theft from the public. 1t
is the idea of the promoters of the bu-
reau of municipal research to invent
system which will be satisfactory
both to the comptroIIers and to the
people. Moreover the naturalization
of such a system would aid the tax
payer in learning whether the affairs
of his city were conducted as we'll as
those Of other municipalities.
The city of Baltimore has already
started a like bureau for her own
needs. From it the common council
| can learn what methods can be i'm
proved and what expenditures may
be economically diminished. 1t was
stated on the authority of Mayor Ma
hool of that city that the burea was
the means of saving hundreds of thou
sands of dollars each year.
If such plan is SO beneficial in one
| community it would undoubtedly
prove tremendously economical mea-
sure in it's application to all the cities
of the country. It's naturalization
| would render it's returns absolutely
| complete and the deductions made
from it would therefore be more &C
curate.

THE COMPLETE PRIMARY.

Indiana has for some years had
some of the benefits of the party pri-
mary system for the nomination of
county officers. Illinois, on Saturday,
held party primary for a whole
state ticket. The excitement in Chi
cago was intense and the newspapers
repeaters; for never before in the
state of Illinois has there been such
determination on the part of the rank
and file to get rid of boss rule. This
feeling is growing stronger all over
the country Witness the declaration
of Hughes that New York should be
free from the selection of candidates
by the machine. and that primaries
by the people should be substituted
for the nomination of candidates by
the gang.
Governor Folk Of Missouri said:
1T the party primary is wrong, so is
SoNSi hiAShI W lhc pSOplS. james
Bryce, the most impartial of critics
of all that pertains to American life
has pointed out that since the rise
of the party as a factor in elections
the primary has become the only safe
guard to the people in the selection
for office of men possessing high
character. Therefore, the people OF
the United States must strive for the
right to vote at the complete primary
with as much vigor as they would bat
tie in the event of suffrage being de
MED them.
Some reports of the Illinois primar,
have condemned it as giving the ma
chine more power. 1t may be true
that In a city like Chicago or New
York that repeaters may get in good
work for the bosses. But this sort

MEAN BUSINESS.

The young Turks demand of the Sui.
tan that he dismiss his harem and
henceforth live in European fashion,
with one wife. This must have made
him think that real revolution had
been accomplished, smashing all the
traditions that have hung around the
him out of the shadow Of orientalism
into the bright light Of civilization.
The young Turks have sent word to
the Sultan that he is still under sus-
picion and that unless he changes his
ways he will be put to death without
mercy. His recent experience with
an assassin must have given him a
hint that his life is not to be alto
gether one sweet dream. When it
comes to a demand to dismiss the har-
EN- it really looks as If the young
Turks mean business and that they are
determined to reform and modernize
the government of their country The
amnesty offered by the Sultan to all
subjects of Turkey who have been ex.
patriated will not lead many of them
to return to their old homes. They
will wait and see how the reforms pro-
gress, and whether after these years
of cruelty and misrule the Sultan has
really been converted to the idea that
justice and mercy should find a place
in the code of the ruler of a mighty
people.

ton system it is hopeless when once
the germ of bossism gets implanted.
The system Of the primary must not
be discarded because it has defects,
but 1t must be perfected. This is the

were near the hotel we had better get
out and walk the rest of the Way.
Terence frightened up wonderfully
at that, and we stopped the carriage
and jumped out. He paid the driver
and we turned to walk on. l think he
saw he hadn't much time to spare, so
he began at once:
miss Cleveland, do"
And then we heard loud shouts be
hind us, and the driver came hurrylng
after us to say we hadn't paid him
enough:
Terence said another sort of Greek
word to himself, and told the man to
be off; but Of course he wouldn't 20.
and marched along beside us, arguing.
couldn't understand why Terence
would not give the man more money
and send him off, but he has since
told me that he hadn't penny left in
his pockets, he had given all to the
beggars.
Well! Of course 1t Is impossible to
propose to any one while a Neapolitan
cab driver man is walking along be-
side you, arguing about his fare; and
the hotel was in sight!
Then three beggars and the old man
who sells oranges outside the door
came clamoring round us, and I was
hopeless, because, you know, besides
the title and estate, Terence is a dear.
And then saw Jack Congleton come
out Of the hotel and turn along to meet
us, and l was so desperate that 1 cried
out aloud accidentally:
"Oh, dear! here is Jack, and now we
shan't be alone again."
When Terence heard that he lust
stopped dead and looked at me, and
then he looked at Jack coming toward
us, and round at all the clamoring beg
gars, and then he stuck both hands
savagely in his pockets and turned his
back on the cab driver and just burst
out desperately:
D it ALL Miss Cleveland, will
you marry me?"
laughed so much that I couldn't
answer till Jack reached us, and he
must have thought me quite mad, be-
cause l laughed all the way up to the
hotel door, and then l turned to Ter
ence and said:
oh! yes, yes, yes!" and ran into
the hotel, and up to my room, and lay
on my bed and laughed till felt quite

Out on the Chihuahua and Pacific
railroad Is the greatest potato-growing
region yet developed In Mexico, says
the Mexican Herald. A large market
Is rapidly being opened up, the pota-
toes, which are fine in quality and of
large size resembling the famous Gree
ley product, having reputation
throughout northern Mexico. Already
during the present season one Mexican
farmer alone has shipped two carloads
to Monterey.
The leading potato farmer of the
State. in fact, Of the republic, Is ole
Coayem, a Chinaman of modern pro-
gressive ideas, from whose farm, 1900
feet above sea level, at Pedernales,
right on the continental divide, some
seventy carloads of potatoes will be
shipped this season. Joe came from
China some years ago bent upon max
ing his way up in the world. He has
mastered both English and Spanish
thoroughly and subscribes for and
reads the papers in both languages.
Five years ago he bought two acres at
Pedernales "for song" and on time.
He paid for them out of his first years
crop and his holdings now comprise
several thousand acres.

anything done in that crowd, so

Terence heaved great sigh of re-

Oh! my darling Mona, is 1t really
you? How delicious! 1 had no idea
you were in town yet. And I've such
heaps to tell you. Only I've really no
time now, because I have an appoint
ment with Madame Celisne, and you
know she won't wait. But must tell
you little about 1t. Come in here
and have an Ice, and I'll tell you how 1t
all happened.
i met him in Rome, you know. 1t
was very hard work at first, because
he would have been much more inter
ested in me If 1 had been an old stone
in the Forum. However, 1 had lots of
patience, and lovely chiffon hat l
bought in Paris, and 30, finally, when
we all moved on to Naples, he, Ter
ence, you know, came too.
We had lovely time in Naples with
the volcanoes and things, and soon l
saw he meant it all right, only he was
frightfully shy about coming to the
point, and he had not many opportuni-
ties, because Mr.. Carstairs and Jack
Congleton were with us, and you know
what they are!
Well! our last day arrived and moth
Ing had happened, and l got awfully
anxious, because he isn't the sort of
man to propose by letter; and, besides,
l knew if he went back to Rome, unat-
tached, that Kitty Singleton would
Oh! she is a cat, Mona!
So on the last afternoon, when we
all drove up to San Martino to see a
museum or monastery, l am not
quite sure which it was meant to be,
l made up my mind to be mother to
myself, and said l should walk back
to the hotel, and wouldn't he, Terence,
you know, come with me.
OF course, he jumped at 1t. Jack
Congleton and Mr.. Carstairs said they
wanted to walk, too, but | marched on
ahead, very firmly, with Terence, and
asked him about stones and inscrip-
tions and things they couldn't talk
about, and soon they grew tired of
walking behind together (because they
don't like each other much), and SO
they took one Of those funny little car
riage things and drove home after all.
Then | stopped talking about stones,
because | was afraid If Terence got
too interested he might not notice his
opportunity, so l began to talk about
going away, and that sort Of thing, and
at last he got husky and fidgety, like
they do, you know, and l saw 1t was
coming; and then, when he had just
begun:

something like that, just behind us,

The Detroit River and the Sault CT
nails are the two chief points for the
enumeration Of the vessels and car
goes which carry and make up the
enormous traffic Of the American lakes,
the largest water-borne traffic in an
equal area in the world. Statistics
taken at these two points, pending the
tabulatlon and summing up Of the fig
ures by ports, give a fairly accurate
view Of the magnitude Of that traffic.
A preliminary bulletin on that basis
issued by the Department of Commerce
and Labor shows that in total bulk
and In all important divisions save one
the lake traffic Of the season of 1907
breaks all records. The exception Is,
Of course the lumber traffic, which Is
dwindling because Of the reckless way
in which the great pine forests of the
old Northwest have been exploited for
2S,SS3, 106 tons of iron ore were taken
from the Lake Superior mines this
year to feed the furnaces Of Pennsyl-
vanla, Ohio and Illinois. This was
nearly 100000 tons more than in 1905
and 100000 tons more than In 1905.
Most Of the wheat also passes the
Sault, although some goes eastward
from Lake Michigan ports and small
er amount from Lake Erie. The de-
partments bulletin shows that Sc, 1884,
551 bushels passed the Sault and only
30, 101 ,S73 bushels passed Detroit, giving
Increases at the two checking points,
respectively, Of 46 and At per cent over
1905. These figures, unless there Is an
: error in the departments printed bulle-
tin, raise an interesting question. 1t
Is: What became of that 24,OOO,0O0
bushels of wheat? The obvious answer
Is that most Of 1t went to Europe over
the Canadian railways However that
amount Of wheat would require for Its
handling about $4,000 cars, a capacity
not credited to the Canadian railways
reaching the lake from Sarnia north
ward to the Sault, and which Is denied
to them by all railway men. The de-
partment must be left to explain its
figures, which, If correct, show most
astonishing and unsuspected growth of
Canadian railway capacity. The corn
figures are clear enough. Chicago Is
the great shipper Of corn, and 35,770,-
712 bushels Of 1t passed Detroit, over
million bushels more than in 1906. The
soft coal movement over the lakes is
chiefly from Lake Erie ports north and
west. Nearly 100000 tons passed
Detroit, as against S,4S4,S61 tons in
1906. The total freight traffic Of the
great lakes passing Detroit for the sew
en- months ending with September was
49,526,47S tons as against 44,125,7S2
tons for the same months in 1906.
