To Govern Cities.

Birmingham Ledger. :,
 Ever since Galveston in her wrecked and ruined condition had to get rid of her city officials so she could pay her way other cities have considered 1t resort in times of trouble. . ,..
 Galveston in her sorest straits with a Commission. actually paid her way and paid off her floating gsld ds5t' No NJ msfs eqS Councii or Board of Aldermen ever did so dificult a feat. Other cities have tried the commission plan and each has been successful, but not all had men equal to the Galveston com mission. s months been giving it's readers the his tory and workings of the commission plan. Birmingham is converted to the commission idea.
 At ali events the cities have that in reserve. and 1t Is great comfort Some times a man gets his affairs into pad shape and puts himself os': h,n1 in ntns the mission idea.

The New York Evening Post is alarmed at Taft's statement that Tim Woodruff "has established his claims to the gratitude of the Republicans of New York. and also of the country at large" by getting out of the way for Root to go to the Senate. The Post says 1t cannot view with equan- unity any plan of giving MT. Woodruff a foreign mission. A man who has in so many ways been a joke at home is sure to provoke disrespect abroad"

It is a little hard on the President that the four justices of the Supreme Court who have reached and passed the retiring age of threescore and ten perslstently refuse to step down and out during Rooseyelt's term so that he can have the job of appointing their successors.

A MORNING THOUGHT
BY ,. MARVIN NICHOLS.

In this great land of ours every American's wife ia his queen, his sis. ters are his prineesses, aud hia friends are his faithful loving subjects. His realm is measured by the distance he has gone into other destinies.
 It takes . great character to stand alone. The man that goes with the majorities only bofrows strength. He's a leech--n0thing more. For that req son the real majesty of a man is moi known until he is seen standing with g magnificent minority
 Children spend their days lavlshinx their affections on dolls How nat. ural 1t is that we grown-up folks should turn to images of fieah. There's an inexpressible pathos about the per. son for whom no one seems to care in particular.
 For the man who really needs aa- slstance there are scores to heip while the man most in need of help finds the gSrsatsest ggSat.s difficulty in securing what he case. no human being can teii---bu1 1t Is.
 A thing that costs you nothing can have no value to you, For that req son the .petted and paf1pered children of the rich oftimes throw their inher- itances to the winds In a daRpOrako enort to waste it on themseives.
 Nothing but man can smile. 4 dia- mond- glitter is inoomparable to the naSh of the human eye. A face that cannot smile is like a rose-bud which cannot blossom and dies upon the bush.

WHITE MAN KILLS INDIAN.
Saloon Brawl Ends in Death at Thco-
dorc, Wnsatch County.

According to a dispatch received in
this city Saturday, an Indian by the
name of Avis was murdered in a sa-
loon hrawl at Theodore. Wasatch coun-
ty, by a white, man late Friday after
noon. While details are not complete,
the story goes that the Indian and
some white men were drinking in sa-
loon at Theodore when a dispute arose
over the refusal Of the saloonkeeper to
sell whisky to the Indian. A general
niX-up followed, and the Indian was
attacked by white man and killed.
The murderer is said to be an old man
between 65 and 70 years of age.
Tho Indian who was killed is said to
be q member of the Ute tribe, and
was from the Ute reservation in the
vicinity of Fort Duchesne. Up to a
few years ago the fort was occupied
by government troops, but it was aban-
doned when the country was opened
up to white settlers.
The office of Special Indian Agent w.
e. Johnson at GLE Templeton building
in this city, also received a dispatch on
the killing from Captain Hall, who is
Indian agent at White Rocks. Accord
ing to Capt. Halls message, however.
the killing occurred at Stockmore, which
is a, considerable distance further west
from Fort Duchesne than Theodore.
However. as Stockmore is inaccessible
from the west in the winter time on
account of impossible roads, and az
there is only one road out of Theodore,
no positive information could be had
as TO the real point where the killing
occurred
