Granting that the members or a ma
jority of them constituting municipal
boards are honest under the present
system with reference to third class
cities. they are required to serve
without pay. The duties are per
picking; they cannot afford to let
their private interests suffer in order
to properly attend to the municipal
wants and needs; consequently we
find inefficient management. Il Suriclt
of officers, laborcrS unSyStematlcally
employed; material of inferior quail

prices. sold to the city; thousands of
dollars of the citys funds wasted
and wiSapplicd. These conditions re
sui, more or less everywhere from
the "a X of a proper system OF local
government. Responsibility for mis-
management is difficult to locate.
Even under the present defective
plan, think generally speaking, a
majority of the members of city
council would do better if they could
and were not hampcrcd by scnsclc>s
restrictions.

SOME GOOD WORDS FOR OLYMPIA
BY Writer of Judgment Observation and
Experience.

Fifty years age. the average Ion
gcvity was from Is to 20 years Of
human life. but with higher civili-
zation, we have discovered natural
laws of sanitation, and the average
longevity is from 80 to 10 years, and
better fitted wit h comfort and glad
ness. San Francisco had 50 cases of
bubonic plague, all fatal but recently
having examined the last 5000 rats
killed found but two showing bacilli
of that malignant painful disease
spread mainly by flies and flcas from
infected rats brought by ships from
infected ports. Wooden sidewalks
of business districts. harbor rat otfal
subsistence, largely animal, taken
from open garbage rcceptaclcs. while
flies bred in stable manure not often
removed, and IN inSanitary rear
premises, carry the innOculating Or
ganiSms of typhoid, diptheria, tuber-
culosis, or bubonic plague or mos
quitOcS bred i'll Stagnant liquids of
old food cans, and ill-draincd prem
iseS, innoculate disease germs. At
Il national conference last MAY, the
economical loss to the United States
was estimated at two hundred and
fifty millions of dollars in single
year through typhoid, while there
were one hundred and thirty eight
thousand deaths from tuberculosis,
supcrinduccd in persons of lowered
vitality through wrong but clearly
rcmcdiable things of life, such as peo-
pie of common business sense might
have anticipated and have avoided,
had they benefited by the common
knowledge accessible to them. The
bubonic plague once killed onc-third
of the inhabitants of the cities of
England. Ten thousand died in
London in one night; one hundred
thousand in a few weeks in Florence,
and it dcvaStcd onc-t third of the
world, shifting doctor, priest and
layman alike, until grass grew in the
market places of the large cities.

No children and payee alice

seemed unwilling to reply. Come

gentleman seemed as if he deeply
sympathized with him.
