PRESIDENT TAFT,s BAND

Seattle, Wash When Presiden
Taft visits the A-Y-P exposition
| September 80 the United States gov
eminent buildings will remain CLOSED
| to the public until after the presi
dent views the various exhibits.
President Taft will no doubt visi
the main government building first
After he finishes his inspection of the
exhibits gathered there he will pro.
coed across the street to the Alaska
building. After his departure the
main building will be opened to the
exposition crowds. This program will
be followed out in the Alaska, Hawai-
ian and Philippine buildings.
The Philippine Constabulary band
one OF the Presidents favorite mill
tary organizations, will lead the Taft
day parade over the exposition
grounds. When the president reaches
the Fair he will be greeted by the "a
musicians who played for the presi-
dent while he was territorial governor
of the Philippines. Many favorite Sc
lections of the President will be play
ed.
President Taft will find the gov
ernment buildings beautifully illum-
mated. Additional appropriation has
made 1t possible to light the big dome
which is the architectural climax Of
the Fair
Representatives of the United
States government say it would be
impossible for the president to view
the exhibits should the buildings at
the Fair be open to the crowds at the
time he will be there The aisles
would be so crowded with the curious
and those desiring to be near the
president that he would would find it
difficult to make his way through the
throngs.
The President will be closely
guarded while at the Fair. During
his trips about the grounds the city
police, exposition guards and the gov
eminent detectives with the presiden.
tial party will be near the nations

Is not marred by any unpleasant hap
penings.

A FAILURE.

We are of the opinion that those
who assailed Gov. Stubbs' record
as a reform governor rather got
the worst of the argument. Auditor
Nations report on the approprla-
tions for the two years of Governor
Hoch's administration and the two
years of Governor Stubbs' should
set the minds of the people at rest.
Especially when they consider that
there was shortage of about
$500, 200 under the Hoch admins
tration that had to be made good
under the Stubbs administration.
We have never considered our good
governor quite an angel but have
thought him sincere and honest in
his efforts to reform many of the
CRAFTS that will creep in and think
he has been reasonably successful.

Making His Last Stand.

San Bernardino, Cal, Oct. l0.-Out
on lonely "BullioD Peak" in the heart
of the Mojave desert, Billy boy, a
civilized Indian, is making his last
fight after the manner Of his fore
fathers against San Bernardiuo
posse which wants Billy because he
shot while man and then stole and
killed the white mans daughter.
Three Of the posse have been seriously
wounded and three horses have been
killed ia the attempt to get Billy
down from Bullion peak.
Two weeks ago Billy fed to the
desert from San BernardinO taking
with him the daughter of Mike Boni-
face. The girl had fought desperately
to get away from him and when she
began to retard her pace 80 that his
pursuers were nearing him he shot
her dead and left her on the sand,
Billy wooed the Boniface girl for a
week and then demanded her from
her father. He was refused In no
gentle terms and BOniface volunteered
a few remarks on the Indian race.
He killed the father. Billy lifted the
girl from the side OF her dead father
and carried her to the desert.
But the girl was unwilling and the
methods of the Indian suitor threat
ened to end In disaster until he shot
her. Then he gained on his pursuers
and soon was on the vantage point OF
Bullion peak. There the posse has
besieged him for four days. Attempts
to force the position or assault the
peak have each time ended disastrous
ly to the puSuers. Deputy sheriff
Charles Roche is wounded in the
thigh. John Hyde, an Indian trailer,
Ia shot 10 the back and Segunda
Chin, an Indian policeman, frsn The
Indian reservation, has u bullet in
bis head. The posse has settled
down to ssarye Billy Boy out. Night
assaults have failed for Billy has
seemingly foreswort sleep and starvs-
ton appears to be the only means Of
couQuering him.

OVERLOOKED.

We would respectfully call the
attention of the Erie Sentinel to the
exorbitant bill for junketing trip
to California that was allowed by
the county board, some time back.
We naturally would expect that
fearless reform paper to criticIse
any board that would allow bill
so plainly unjust.
If Brother Wooster does not like
to say anything IN way of censure
about the goodDemocratic members
who gave him the county printing
he might censure the Republican
member sorty easy like, since the
bill originated in his bailwick. We
presume the editor of the Sentinel
with his multitudnious duties in
running a daily, has entirely over
looked that little lapse OF the
county board.

and, later. II may be something else.
The mission form of govern
ment where good men are selected
and paid well for their time, take,
away this tendency by destroying
the excuse for il. But the thing OF
it is to be always sure that you gel
good competent men TO act as
commissioners.
Men competent for these places
are apt to be busy with their own
affairs. Then in an election fer
these places it is not always the best
men for the place that can control
the largest vote. The people are
liable to be mistaken in their
estimate of a man and great harm
may result.
All told We think we are safer
under the present form, so long as
we can keep good reliable men
doing the work for nothing that
would cost three or four thousand
dollars under the new form.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.

The commission form of govern
ment is being tried out in several
cities of Kansas and several more
cities seem to be under conviction.
E,en IN our own town we have a
few men who seem to favor the
plan. We are not fully convinced
as yet that 1t would be the best
thing for us.
Since it is being tried by some of
cur neighbors we prefer waiting to
See how they come out. There is
no particular hurry for the new
plan. If isa good thing it will
grow in Kansas and all cities will
adopt it. If it proves a failure we
dc not wanti it.
The facts are, however, it is
becoming difficult to get coed clean
successful business men to serve on
the council.
They may try 1t one term and
then drop out. There is too ever
lasting much work and bother with
no particular compensation.
Any man who undertakes to serve
as mayor or councilman of this
city with all its various business
interests to lock after is taking
unto himself large burden.
If he has any business Of his own
TO look after he must necessarily
neglect his own or the city's busi
ness or put in lot of overtime.
No man who works hard all day
relishes wrangling over city affairs
for half the night and being called
away from his own business very
often during the day.
If municipal ownership continues
and many more utilities are tackled
on it may become necessary to 90
to the commission form of govern
ment or some other that will allow
men to be paid for their work.
1t is now too much for the public
to ask competent men to transact
the large volume of city business
gratis.
Our present city officers are
clean lot of men and no charge of
graft or c. Eruption can lie against
them, The CITY is indeed fortunate
to induce such men to devote their
time to tS affairs. However,
wheos any man or set of men work
r for any corporation long time for
nothing or an insufficient compensa-
ton, how natural it would be, when
ehance for little graft came for
them to say, ''Oh, well, get Rol
pay for my work and there Can be
30 harm aud dc no one any wrong
If manipulate This deal for little
profit to myself"
That is the natural tendency of
men working for nothing. 1t was
this principal that, number of
years ago, induced the council TO
vote themselves, contrary to lew,
free gas.
The small graft has stuck until it
has become custom, and no1e
complains because it is but small
compensation for the work done for
the public. Yet, these things grow,

PUBLIC SERVICE
MAY OPERATE
TR|PPER TROLLEYS
Plan Suggested to Relieve Con.
gestion During the Rush
Hours.

Tripper trolley cars will be run on
lines from the Roseville car house into
the city n back during the rush
hours for the accommodation of local
traffic. Commissioner Arthur r. Den
man. chairman of the street commit
tee of the Board of Works, said this
may be the result of a conference with
Colonel E. w. Hine, of the Public Serv-
ice trolley department, at the City Hall
this week.
When the regular trolley cars to or
or the Central n lines arrive at
the western section of Roseville, and
especially at the car house, the cars
are SO crowded that very few waiting
men and women can force a way, even
to the platform, and therefore
many who must get to a store or an
office on time are forced to walk down.
town. Because of complaints made to
the Board of Works by residents of
Roseville and some living on streets
tHCi CdSty Tic COHlcIeIlCe WITH
Colonel Hine. of the Public Service Cor
.poration, was asked for by the chair
man, and his request granted.
If Public Service operates tripper cars,
as proposed, on the Bank street and
Central trolley lines, it will be
a great benefit to Roseville people in
rush hours. n also to people who
live farther east along those lines, for
when Orange people know that the reg
ular cars go through to Orange, or
to West Orange, they will wait for those
cars at the Newark railroad stations, at
the -Four Corners and at other points,
and not board the tripper cars, when
they know they will 60 only t o the
Roseville carhouse, and, after a short
walt, return down town. Persons
bound for the Roseville section, or
points above Summit and Norfolk
streets, might wait for tripper cars, In
stead of trying to force a way into a
crowded car bound for East Orange, the
city of Orange and beyond, and it
might be the same on return trips from
the Roseville carhouse.
