sion in Galveston" you convey the i'm
preston that the present form -zoi
government is likely to be soon giver
up for the representative system" As
many cities in Maine are interested in
the so-called Commission plan," be-
lieve word of explanation will no,
come amiss. AS Waterville is making
thorough investigation of their plan
and the committee making the investi-
cation have been in direct correspond
ence with the mayors and other Off
Gals in nearly all of the cities which
have tried the new plan, we are able
to give some first hand information OH
the subject. LIST, the present form OF
municipal government in Galveston
and nearly every city which is using
the Commission" plan is absolutely
representative. the mayor and COM
missioners being elected by direct vote
Eof the people, after they have been
nominated by all the voters on the
direct primary plan. When Galveston
first adopted the commission plan the
commissioners We're appointed by the
Governor but this method was declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court,
and since that they have been elected
by direct vote of the people
Galveston has been governed by the
commission plan" nine years and
Houston four years, other cities for
shorter time. 1t certainly is a remark
able Endorsement of the plan and of the
kind Of men elected under it that at
the election this year the mayor of
Galveston was the first officer in any
city to be displaced 1t certainly
could not be expected that the same
men should be always reelected no
matter how satisfactory the plan might
be. 1t would be exceedingly unfortu-
nate If such were the case and would
indeed be its greatest defect. -.
Before me is letter from the pres
ant newly elected mayor of Galveston
in which he answers the questions
had asked him as follows:
Has your commission" form of city
government produced better public SER
vice? Ans. Yes
Are the laws better enforced? An
swer, Yes.
Is it more economical? Ans Yes.
What is the per cent of saving >
Ans. About Is per cent
Is there general satisfaction?
majority of the people are we'll salts
fed.
Has your method of nominations and
elections resulted in the selection Of
men best qualified for office? Ans. Yes
There is no hint from Galveston or
any other Commission" governed city
that they are likely to return to the
old form. although in every city the
srafters and small politicians who have
been turned out by the popular vote
are making as much noise as they can
and are trying to get in again. Why
shouldn't they? They have lost their
job.

AS the result of the standing broad
jump contest, which was held at the
Merchants Field day at Casco Castle
last Wednesday and which was won by
J. E. Nelson, considerable debate has
arisen among several of the we'll
known merchants regarding the out
come. Nelson several weeks ago made
the statement that he was the best
man and would win the event easily,
which he did. Several professeC ath-
letes who did not attend the Field day,
have been over jealous to wrest the
laurels from Mr.. Nelson and have even
gone so far as to issue challenges to
the effect that they would compete with
him for fun or money. William Dig
nam, the cigar manufacturer, who con-
siders himself to be an athlete, was the
first to issue a challenge, claiming that
he can beat the winner of the Field day
event A. L. Holmes, the shoeman. then
appears on the scene, and with the rep
utation of college training, challenges
the winner The arrangements are near
lv completed and are bona fide.

POLICE HOLD DOG.
One of the Animals Accused of Worry
ing Sheep Is Caught.

Friday morning a black and white
hound was arrested by Officer Arthur
Tavernier on complaint of a farmer,
who charges that the animal was one
that has been chasing his sheep during
the past few days. The owner of the
sheep happened in the Cooperative
grocery store during the morning and
as he glanced out of doors saw the
dog and recognized it as one of those
which have been inhabiting his pas
lures lately. The police headquarters
was notified and Officer Arthur Taver-
nier was sent to get the dog. But this
was not SO easy as it seems. When the
officer reached the scene several small
boys were endeavoring to catch the an
imal and had it thoroughly frightened
consequently the officer had to wait his
chance. The dog went onto Main street
and after bit of strategem was cap
tured by the officer and taken to the
station. The dog wore a collar without
name or license number
The officers finally decided to kill the
animal; but during the afternoon City
Marshal Charles Harrington received
a clue as to the owner of the canine
and wrote him letter. The dog will be
held for another day awaiting the re-
suit OF the letter The officer is quite
sure he is on track of another dog that
has been charged with the same Of
fence and has likewise written its own
err
Several complaints have been rcceiv-
ed lately regarding sheep killed by
dogs. The man who identified the dog
Friday has not had any killed, but
they have chased them so much as to
make them invaluable for market pur-
poses.
