puELs AMONG SUDANEsE ARABS
Where Pastoral Life Doesn't Always
Lead to Peace and Quiet

The country to the southeast OF
Tekar. in Africa. is the home OF the
Hasas: the Hadendoas occupy the
khors TO the south and the plateau tC
the southwest. Both OF these are
black Arabs. speaking different Ian
guages.
The Hasas live almost entirely on
sour milk. while the Hadendoas arr
agricultural as we'll as pastoral. Their
dokhn and durra. milletlike grains
were ripening in February and being
protected from countless swarms OF
small birds by men who stood on ele
waited platforms. from which they
cracked loudly large whips with palm
leaf lashes 90 feet long.
The dress Of these arabs Is a cotton
sheet held in by belt in which they
carry crooked knives. For other weap
ons they use sticks. spears ans
swords. Firearms are prohibited
Judging by the many scars borne bS
the men the pastoral life is by nc

The COMMISSION PLAN.

A committee composed of five mem
bers of the state senate of Illinois
have just returned from a tour of Gal
weston, Houston and Dallas, Texas,
whittier they went for the purpose of
Investigating the practical workings of
the commission plan of municipal gov
eminent. The report gives the plan
unqualified approval on the grounds
especially of business-like administra-
ment and lower taxes. 1t also con-
tains a wealth of data concerning the
features of the charters of three cities
visited, all of which is to be used as
guide in the preparation of law for
the cities of Illinois. The commission
idea is supported by the State Bust
ness Mems Association, which had
drafted bill to boost which delega-
lions from the larger cities outside of
Chicago have appeared at the state
capital
| Everywhere the five Illinois senators
went they ran up against an enthusi-
asm for the commission form of city
government that was almost startling.
| The found sentiment so favorable to-
ward the system that some advocates
are agitating the abolition of the Texas
Legislature and the creation of COM
/ mission of five to make the laws for
the Lone Star State.
The conclusions reached by the in
Ivestigators are voiced in the following,
which ends the report:
I'm every city we visited We found
the almost unanimous sentiment of the
citizens favoring the commission form
of government We sought the opinion
of bankers, merchants, laboring men,
in fact all classes of citizens. The en-
thusiasm of the people for this form
of government is hardly describable,
Extremists have gone so far in their
enthusiasm as to favor the abolition
of the legislature of Texas and the sub
stitution of commission of five to
govern the state.
without doubt there has been a
marked improvement in the conduct of
the affairs of these cities under this
plan of municipal government. Able
fearless progressive and conscientious
men are in charge of public affairs in
these cities. Under the stimulus OF
great municipal improvements, con
Quoted in the same manner as the af
fairs of great private enterprises, these
cities are entering upon an era OF
great prosperity with the full conf
