condemned, this juggling Of funds
could not be done 30 easily under
IT," said Mr.. Bremner. "There was
check against It in the city au-
ditor and the city treasurer, and
also In the city solicitor. Frequently
the old council undertook to trans
fer funds In this improper way, or
otherwise draw on city money for
purposes not strictly legal. The city
auditor, who was not a eerature Of
the city council but elected by the
people, refused to draw the war
rants. The council commanded him
to, but when I advised him that he
wac right, he still refused. The re-
suit was that the council was
checked and forced to proceed leg
ally.
"a serious defect in the new gov
eminent is its failure to provide tho
proper checks against the council.
The city auditor, the city solicitor
and the city treasurer are not
elected by the people now; they are
elected by the council. They are
creatures of the council and subject
to it's orders. II city auditor
should now refuse to draw up war
rants ordered by the council, how
long do you suppose his job would
last? He is responsible to the coun.
ell, which elects him, and no longer
directly responsible to the people.
We have the same city auditor now
that we used to have under the old
system. In the old days he refused
to draw up warrants, because he
was independent of the council and
a real check upon it. Now he issues
them. The office is no longer
strong check against improper APP
preparations by the council"
Necessity, growing out Of fool
ish law, Is the reason given for this
transfer Of funds. Technically the
action was wrong; otherwise it was
wise and absolutely justified. The
whole transaction was strictly hon.
est, but not In accordance with the
letter Of the law.
These technical law violations of
the city council are not looked upon
seriously, because Of their extreme
necessity. The old city government
left the city treasury in sorely de-
plcted condition, and in addition it
left the city's streets and other i'm
provements in a deplorable way.
The new council faced a tremen-
! dous problem of financiering. The
general fund, from which most Of
the money must come for the ex-
traordinay repairs and improve
ments, was utterly inadequate; the
ether funds were too large. It was
argued that as long as the money
was In the city treasury 1t ought to
be available for this extreme neces-
sity and it was taken.
There has been no effort to hide
these transactions-they stand
clearly on the record. But business
men feel that circumstances justi-
fled the proceeding and they will
ingIy stand by it.

Mr.. Bremncr believes that this
elimination Of the ward lines has
It's objections. 1.-THE little property
owner has nobody especially in
court to fight for him now" he
says. "under the old system, every
body in the ward knew the ward
alderman. He was likely to be a
man who would listen to everybody
He felt is his duty to stand up for
every man In his ward and make a
fight In his behalf. The councilman
elected at large isn't Interested so
much In ward affairs-l mean the
little ward affairs--because he isn't
responsible to the ward directly. 1t
Isn't as easy for the little man with
q little grievance to get hearing
as it used to be, because the coun-
ctlmen have now been put beyond
sis reach"
( Critics of the Des Moines plan
Rave discovered that commission
..rs under the new plan can do
',ings not sanctioned by law, as
Sweil as councilmen under the old
t:.an.
: Under the state law, the govern
Eng bodies in all cities are required
70 establish certain funds, like the
general fund, the sewer fund, the
bridge fund, the grading fund, the
park fund, etc, for which fixed
tax is levied and collected. Each
fund must be kept invioIate and
used for not other purpose than
that for which 1t Is intended. A
violation of this law is made SER
ious offense.
Vet the records Of recent council
meetings show that the new council
has transferred to the general fund
from the sewer fund $4e5o; from
the grading fund, $4500; from the
bridge fund, $500; from the park
fund, $500; from the Judgment
fund, which is provided by law to
pay judgments against the city
only, $1,000 was taken for the gen.
erai fund. Also an $500 salary was
paid from the Judgment fund.
The law providing for this crea-
ton of separate funds is not consid-
cred a good law by municipal ex-
perts. They declare that the city
government should be allowed to
levy a single tax for all purposes
limited at reasonable figure, for
all city purposes as required. spe
.ciai funds cause high taxation, fol
councils always levy to the limit in
each fund regardless of needs. With
a single fund, economy would be
encouraged.
But good or bad, the law is the
law, and this law has been evadec
by the new council. Its reasons are
as good as cocS,se siven-absolute
necessity--btSSssay their critics
these reasons do not wipe out Law
violation.
Though the old plan is generally

are not relied upon for checks in
the Des Moines plan, because the
trainers felt that in publicity and
refere ndum there were enough
checks. They looked upon the au-
ditor and treasurer as merely sub
ordinate officials, for whom there
was no necessity Of popular cleo
ton.
Universally Des Moines business
men commend the new government
for its efficiency. It has done what
was promised-given the city
business administration.

Interesting Account Of a Trip
to Greater New York by
Mr.. E ] Norris

Dear Advertiser In my letter Of
last week l said l would try to
write something of New York. I
will undertake the task, asking per-
mission to do so in a Plain con-
versational way. l do not possess
the gift of Washington Irving or
the rhetorical Ebert Hubbard, OF
of our own versatile "1Ir. Bacon,'
SO | will just have a little "detail''
chat, with those like myself, the
untravel,I.
We felt quite lonely on reaching
the Metropolis, among four million
strangers. On landing at Jersey City
Station, we had the choice of going
under or over the Hudson river to
New York, on our tickets. We-pre-
ferred the boat and landed at 2Srd
street. We rode up town and en-
sconsed ourselves at the New Grand
Hotel, on Broadway, at 9lst street.
Thisis splendid hotel with ele-
giant appointments throughout. We
had pretty room with all convent
ent and elegant furnishings etc., and
we unpacked and made ourselves at
home: New York proper, is situated
on old Manhattan" island which
runs north and south 13 miles and
is about 2 miles wide from east to

west. Broadway runs about centre
of the,Island with the avenues gen
orally parallel. Broadway is be
tween 5th and 9th avenues. The
streets from l4th toward the north
run across the Island (across Broad
Way up to above 2ooth street. So in
the largest part of the place it is easy
to know where you are at" From
14th street south, the streets are
narrow, densely populated, confus-
ing. This is old New York. Many
of the avenues and some of the
streets are quite as imposing or
more so, than narrow Broadway.
There are many car lines under the
city. above the city and on the face
of the earth, through the city. |
think there is more travel on the
subways. These lines carry a mil
lion people day. At first we took
some long rides on these under
ground railways, and would occa-
sionally have to come out like
ground hog to see where we were.
However, we soon learned to OBJ
serve the signs at the numerous sta
tions the numbers and names OF
streets and lost all fear that city
would cavein with us. The points
of interest in an area of lS by 2
miles, are many and far between.
When you start out everything IS
so hurried you can not count time,
you Just have TO count money.
We first visited Eden Musee, see
inc the life like wax figures of the
past and present prominent people
of the world. The figure of Booker
Washington stood next to that OF
Ex-president Cleveland. Roosevelt
faced him from another point ana
eyed Cleveland enviously. In the
back part of the building is a thea
tire of motion pictures, some of
which were finer than anything we
had ever seen before. There is in
the theatre a Hungarian band en-
tertainine at intervals. There is a
restaurant in the building but after
visiting the Chamber of Horrows
ones appetite would not warrant the
price.
Nights could wake up in Coney
Island they would think old Bagdad
was nowhere. / had thought that
the place was dangerous to visit,
but ten-year.old-boy could go
through it at night.
Arriving by boat after the mil
lions of electric lights were lighted,
we were enchanted with the beauty
of everything everywhere. There
are golden merry-go-rounds, rocky
ride railroad, dangerous Shoot the
Chutes and amusemcnts Of all kinds.
There is a perfectly beautiful ride
through Yellow Stone Park, the
grand canon and natural looking
scenery of Colorado and the great
west. There are restaurants for the

Each year, one vicious habit
rooted out in time ought to
make the worst man good
FRANKLIN.
.Fruitful of Golden Deeds.

''Mr. Bacon is deadn' This an
nouncement Wednesday afternoon
fell like a pail over this communl-
ty. carrying unutterable sorrow
wherever it. spread, even to the re-
hottest borders of the county. No
citizen of Edgefeld was more wlde=
ly known; none more genuinely be-
loved. In truth, neither Mr.. Bacon's S
friends nor his fame were conhned
to his native county, extending on
the contrary, far beyond the state.
His rich store Of wit and humor,
his marvellous gifts as a conversa-
tionalist. the matchless beauty and
versatility of his writings, the
rythm and music Of his soul, to-
gether with his unique and very
charming personality. all conspired
to make him one of the towering
figures of the present day and
generation.
Unlike the vast majority of those
who achieve great distinction End
receive the plaudits of the world,
Mr.. Bacon was gentle, modest, re-
tiring, his hearts supreme desire
being to promote the pleasure and
happiness of others, rather than fur
ther his own selfish ends. Indeed,
his was life fruitful of golden
deeds, with JOY and love triumph
ing"
Mr.. James T. Bacon was born in
Edgefeld, and if, we mistake not,
with the exception of the time he
spent in his studies abroad and
while in actual service as a Con
federate soldier, passed his entire
seventy-eight years upon the exact
spot where he was bora. He receiv.
ed his early education in Edge6eld
and subsequently went to Europe
for special instruction. lnarti"'''~--'-

l,....yrr ne purchased the Edgefeld
Chronicle in after years, which he
edited until he was seized with the
relentless malady that brought his
brilliant career to close.
Mr.. Bacon never married, but
that which attested OF reflected his
broad. unselfsh spirit, possibly
more than any other one thing, was
his faithfulness and beautiful de-
votion to the members Of his imme-
diate family.
Just as his accustomed chair will
remain vacant in the home, so

Him whose ways are past finding
out" his place in our offices, in our
stores, on our streets, in our church
es and homes must remain untitled.
We shall constantly miss his bene.
ncent presence, but his influence
shall live on and on. In the words
of Thomas. Moore, which were SC
beautifully quoted in one of the
eulogies at Trinity church,.

the vase if you will,
But the scent of the roses will
hang round it still.''

On Monday evening the Pruden-
tial delegates going through New
York, left on a train of two sections
with many pullman cars. Arrived
at Alexandria Bay, disernbarking
from the boat taken at Clayton; at
1000 Island Hotel at 8 o'clock, the
following morning. Everybody had
to get into warmer clothing and
over coats. The convention, COM
posed of the agents who had since
January lst written $50,000.00 and
above, was held in the spacious ball
room of the 1000 Island House, and
was much enjoyed by the host of
Prudential men. We went far up
into the observatory OF the hotel
and viewed the many islands, upon
which were residences, flowers full
out to the waters edge. These
could be seen for miles up and
down the ST. Lawrence river, and
the sight is one hard to leave. The
islandsear some 100 in number
and dotted with the dwellings of
Mr.. Pullman and many other rich
men, and others. A very small is
land near the 1000 Island house re-
Gently sold for s1e.O00.OO without
any improvements. The islands are
rocked up around the edge and
most of them are half rock. We had
several excursions on the river. We
were there two days of the four pro-
vided for by the company, and the
boy getting sick we left for home.
There is no place like home and
