BOSToN'S COMMISSION PLAN
Important Features Of New Form of
City government Voted by
the People.

The people OF Boston have voted in favor
Of emancipation from outside party poll
tics in municipal affairs and a more busi-
nesslike machinery of government. Charter
Plan No. 1, favored by the politicians Of
both parties, has been voted down and Plan
No. 2, devised finance commission and by
the reform element, is now to take effect.
The important features Of this plan are
nominations on petition by not less than
500 voters, no party designations to appear
on the ballot, a a elected for four
years, but subject to recall by a majority
vote at the end of two years; and a city
council consisting Of nine members, eleced
at-large for three-year terms, three each
year.
This provides essentially a commission
form of government, the plan differing
from that adopted by Galveston. Des
Moines, Haverhill and other cities chiefly
in providing a more numerous body OF
councillors or commissioners. This, how
ever, is a distinction rather than a differ
ence. TIL old form of municipal govern
ment has been pretty completely cast
aside. Both the two hambe council and
a numerous o~ne-chapter body disappear.
Legislative and administrative functions
are practically merged in a single and COM
paratively small body. Outside party lines
cannot be drawn except below the surface
and there only witt great difficulty, and
the great difficulty is testified to by the
strenuous opposition OF the bosses and heel
ers of both the republican and democratic
parties. Responsibility is centralized and
placed where 1t can be held to close &C
countability to the people.
Boston is the fifth city of the country
in population, and the first city Of any
such magnitude to adopt the commission
or a highly centralized form OF government
There will be national interest in the ex-
pertinent. Only gross neglect on the part
OF citizens of substance and influence can
apparently make It a failure, and all d.
version or complication making for such
neglect has been removed as far as pos
sible by the plan adopted. We may con-
fidently hope that the new charter marks
the beginning OF a new and better era
in the government OF the chief city of
New England.-Springfield CMass.) Repub-
lican.

Donnybrook Fair
at Hurley Home
Sure and Twas tn Cruel Blow Which
Mrs. Hurley Got, She Says,
from Hurley.

Faith an he kicked me in the side"
How did he come to kick you, Mrs.
H~urley7" asked her lawyer.
"ohl twas tn cruel blow he kicked
answered witness.
II mean" said the lawyer, what led
up to the attack"
Sure. and he hit me on top Of tn head,
first"
The lawyer tried a new tack; WAS he
angry at your What happened before he
struck your
"Oh, sure, and he was always angry at
me-" replied Mrs. Bridget Hurley.
Edward Hurley has also been on the
stand in the divorce suit Of Hurley versus
Hurley. The old Irish woman initiated
the suit and Hurley came in with a cross
bill. Just as in the inebriety trial the
family is split in twain, one son cleaving
to his mother and the other to his father.
Mrs. Hurley has nothing on her husband,
in the matter Of brogue and Mr.. Hurley
recited a series Of counter charges. He
in turn came in for a few wallops, ae-
cording to his narrative.
This suit Is before Judge Redlck in dis
trlct court. AT the same time Judge Es-
telle was listening to a lawyer read the
peppery accusations Of Mrs. Victoria Van
Wei against her husband, Raphael Van
VIE. Mill the man he is named for,
Raphael Van VIE is not fond Of painting,
but, according to his wife, is much inter-
ested in the musical art, particularly as In
terpreted by Mrs. Fred Herman, formerly
choir singer in a local church. 1t appears
from Mrs. Van Wie's charge that Van
wie's interest in this music was such
that after he and Mrs. Van VIE had
moved from Indianapolis where Mrs. Her
man first sang, that he induced Mrs. Her
man to come and trill in Omaha.
The suit for divorce was started by Van
VIE and desertion was charged. Mrs. Van
VIE, who had returned to Indianapolis,
came back with several charges Of in
fidelity and Van VIE, according to his
own attorney, left Omaha the day his
wife filed her answer.
His attorney was present at the hearing
Friday, which was for temporary alimony,
but the client having skipped out, no fight
for him could be put up. Judge Estells
allowed 800 attorney fees and SOS a month
alimony.

Are Invited from Our ROadsFB.


WOOD RIVER, Neb, Nov. Ito the
Editor of The Bee: A few words In reply
to an article in The Bee in regard to farm
ers raising more hogs. II you wish to pub
fish the true facts for the reason of the
Bcarcity Of hogs, the several packing con-
Germs of the country run the price Of the
meat product, and they are not particular
on their part whether the farmer makes
feeding pay or not. Just refer to an ar
ticle that appeared in The Bee November Z.
1907, that the cost of living was too high
and that the price Of live stock must come
down. In this same article R. C. Howe Of
Armour & Co. predicted that hogs would
come down TO 4 cents. In a short time
they did come down to the Accent mark,
but the farmers were feeding the same hogs
corn that was worth 55 to 90 cents per
bushel. Every feed was a loss to the feeder.
TIL packers got plenty Of hogs at this
price, as we were glad to unload our
burden.
Since then hog raising in this part Of the
country has been cut out. In the matter
of farmers raising more hogs. it is a grave
question. We can get better results for
our labor in other ways rather than TO
raise hogs at the prices Of 1907, 1908 and
1909 and run the risk of losing by disease
after feeding the big end of the season.
In the big slump or 1907, l would like TO
ask the consumer of our meat product II
he derived any benefit from this slump.
The writer was in Lincoln at the time of
the low price and consumers were paying
Is cents for fresh ham over the block. AS
q rule the farmers sympathize with the
consumer, but we cannot see how we can
reach them via the packing house. The
number of hogs has been cut down for the
last two years In this district. and the
price is quite satisfactory at present, but
none too high at the present price Of corn
for a profit to the farmer. 1t will take
some time to restore confidence between
the packing houses and the farmer for hog
raising, There are few cattle on feed here,
Just one bunch in our neighborhood, so the
chances are the beef product will go quite
~ bit higher than the moon II the balance
OF the country is in ratio with ours.

CHANGED CURRENT OF LIFE
Transition OF the Automobile from
a Luxury to n Neces-

The question Of whether the automobile
Is a luxury or a necessity is rapidly being
answered. Up to 1895 there were seventy
automobiles in this country, valued at
s157,5O0, and in 1904 over 10000 cars were
built at an average price OF 81, ZOO. In
1908, 5000 cars were built, and the output
for this year will DO close to $1,000, at an
average price Of $3.50. The estimates for
next year place the number of new ma
chimes at 100000, valued at $24O, 0OO, 900, or
a 1900 average.
With the ratio Of one car to every 200
Of population the number Of cars in use
in this country next year will certainly
indicate that the automobile, II not a ne
cessity, is far from being a luxury. The
ratio Of cars in use indicates that with
an average of five persons to a family,
one family in every forty will have an au-
tomobile next year.
The one great value of the automobile,
in the economic sense, is that It tends
to restore the city dweller to the country.
With the further development Of the ma
chimes themselves, a corresponding de-
crease in cost and the Increased use of
kerosene as fuel, this feature OF the move
ment will be given an impetus likely TO
carry II beyond the fondest dreams of
the social settler.
Tho automobile has, with all its advan-
tages, furnished an entirely new set OF
problems, particularly with relation to road
making. But even this problem will be
successfully solved, and with the solution
we shall see the passing Of the dirt road
and in its place will come highways
/ constructed with a much better idea OF
permanency.-Banker and Tradesman.

SALOON BONDS ARE HIGHER
Quoted Generally at $50, Though One
Concern Cuts to $35.
TEN DOLLARS WAS THE PRICE
Some Companies Had Gone TO Hun
dred Dollars, but Break Was
Made-Ltquor Dealers Are
Kicking Hard.

Four bonding companies that write
surety bonds for liquor dealers APP
pear to have made up their mind this year
that they were not getting enough money
out Of the Omaha saloon keepers. AS 1t is,
the price has gone up strongly, compared
to what It used to be, namely, $40 a year
for a 5000 bond.
Last year the saloon keepers paid SIS
each for their bonds, after some i%neffect-
ual kicking. In August Of this year a cir
cular was sent the saloon keepers by one
local bonding concern quoting a price of
$50. Shortly after, this circular was re-
called, with the statement that It had been
sent out through mistake. and the init
nation was conveyed that the price would
be 500 for each bono issued to a saloon
keeper.
David Harding. president Of the Retail
Liquor Dealers Protective association,
and other men in the trade, got busy in
the line of investigation. 1t was soon
found that the Lion Bonding company,
the Bankers Surety company. the Mas
sachusetts Bonding company and the
Fidelity and Casualty company all were
ready to quote a price Of $50, but no lower.
And that is a come-down from the
agreed price OF NlVV baIu lhe ESpEeSeAI-
tatives Of the companies.
saIOOn Men Not Satisfied.
The representatives Of the saloon keep
ers were not satisfied, and they found a
company that would write all the bonds
they wanted for $35. Gallagher 81 Nelson.
the agents in Omaha for the Illinois Surety
company, made the break in the surety
company agreement. To bring about this
result they were assured Of at least Ion
bonds, but it is said they ave written q
good many more than that.
Once the break was made, the local com.
panies offered to come down to $25 pei
bond, according to report, and they may
yet pull out some of the business at thai
rate. The reduction came so late, however
tina most of the business was already con
tracted.
The saloon keepers insist that this loca
development is but a part of the bonding
company agreement that was successfully
fought by the state officers at Lincoln
When new bonds were required they found
the price had been boosted very materially
and the attorney general was called in
As a result there was a break In the price
and It is understood the state authorities
are still sore over the attempt on the price
Of surety bonds.

Big Drainage pitch Finished.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. I1-(Special)
After the work had been carried on for
many months, a huge drainage ditch
project has just been completed in the
western portion Of Sanborn county. The
ditch will reclaim thousands of acres Of
valuable farm land which for a lumber
OF seasons has been rendered worthless
because of an excess of water and also
will drain a huge lake covering several
thousand additional acres, The project is
known as the Long Lake drainage project
and was one OF the greatest undertaken
in the eastern half Of South Dakota this
year. The main ditch Is. about four miles
long and five TO sixteen feet deep, and
from twenty TO fifty feet In width. 1t
cost about $1,000 and will reclaim land
worth many times that sum, not counting
the value Of the crops which viii here
after be raised on the land each season.
The mammoth ditch strikes the Jim river
near the famous Ruskln park. In ad-
dillon to the main ditch there are several
lateral bitches which drain into II, and
which will reclaim other low land which
for some years has been flooded.
