INCREASE IN EXPRESS BUSINESS.

During the first five months OF the
year the four leading express COM
panies have transacted business which
shows an advance of from 10 per cent
in the case of one company to 20 per
cent In the case of some of the others,
as compared with the operations of
a year ago. The condition Of the ex-
press companies is one of the best
guides to the general conditions of the
country. An improvement in com.
merce and trade is instantly reflected
in the returns Of the express business.
and as a general rule the periods OF
depression are quickly felt. The most
notable exception to this was the
crisis Of 19O7-0S, when the express
companies were comparatively little
affected by the panic conditions, and
dividends were not diminished.
The present increase in activity,
which on the average may be estimat-
ed at about II per cent. is fairly ac-
curate' barometer of trade and COM
merce. 1t is stated by officials of the
principal companies that the progress
is felt in every department Of the ex-
press business, mot only in the carry.

CRIMINAL cARELEssNEss.

DR.. l.. w. Dean of the medical
faculty Of Iowa state university de-
clares that venereal disease transmit
ted by infection from the parent is the
cause of blindness in q per cent Of
the cases at vinton state college. OF
this number all but 2 per cent could
have been spared their life's handicap
by proper treatment. These facts
lead the Dubuque Telegraph Herald to
say:
1t ought to be made mandatory In
Iowa as it is already in other states,
upon physicians, midwifes or others
present at the birth of child to put
a drop of one or two per cent solu-
tion of nitrate of silver into each eye
of the child. And the rule should be
followed in every case. This precau.
ton would prevent infection in ninety
eight per cent of these cases. The
midwife or accoucheur guilty of failure
to adopt the precaution ought to be
held to be criminally careless.

THE COMMISSION PLAN.

= OONbmISStON Flf%tNs
In the larger cities of the state I'M
der the commission plan mayor and
four councilmen constitute the COM
mission. In cities the size OF Keo-
kuk the commission will consist of
mayor and two councilmen. The
mayor and councilmen are nominated
without reference to party politics by
all the voters of the city voting at q
primary instead OF being nominated
in separate wards by the several par
ties as now. Under the commission
plan every voter will help nominate
two candidates for mayor and four
candidates for councilmen, and then at
the city election every voter will
vote for his choice Of the two candi-
dates for mayor and for his choice Of
two Of the four candidates for coun-
cilmen. Under the present plan ev-
cry elector has vote in selecting
the candidate OF his party for mayor
and the two aldermen from his ward,
but has no vote, either at the pri-
mary or the election, for the candi-
dates for aldermen from the other six
wards in the city. Under the present
system he votes for only two OF the
twelve aldermen. Under the COM
mission plan he will help choose both
Of the councilmen. In other words,
his voting power will be increased
from 16 to 100 per cent by the COM
mission plan.
The nonpartisan primary and cleo
ton puts premium on intelligence
and at the same time greatly simpli-
fles elections. It also makes available
the services of men who cannot be
persuaded to become candidates for
mayor or alderman under the present
political system. The commission
plan law contemplates absolutely
honest elections. Candidates are pro
hibited from employing others to work
in their interest, and bribery in con
nection with an election is frownei
upon to the extent that 1t Is made !
misdemeanor even to intimate tina
fayors will be granted. The voter II
