badly it is not too much to say that

the latter class. The American pol

inadequate when used for the tran
saction of municipalbusiness.

Assistant SUPERINTENDENT Frank l..
Wood, who has been in charge of the
registration at LeBeau,, has been
called to this city to assist in the
preliminary arrangemtnts for the

at LeBeau made his stay there un-
necessary. Mr. Wood stated that the
people at that place were much dis
appointed in the slight crowds they
were getting as many of them had
been to great expense in preparing
for the crowds that were expected to.

that there was 5000, 600 acres yet to

adopted has been to concentrate in
one small body of men, chosen by the
entire electorate, all the administra-
tive and governmental functions of
the city. AS means of effective eff.
cheney, such, plan represents the
best mode that American business ex-
periences has developed. Elected by
the popular vote and subject to recall,
such body is fully responsible to the
people. If there is added to this, as
a part of the general plan, the In
itiative and referdum, full assurance
of the representative quality of the
body is procured. '"
ION the other hand, the ample
powers and responsibilities Of the po-
sitions are sufficient to attract men
of greater ability and ca1ibor than
are ordinarily obtained under our
present plan. The experience Of the
cities that have adopted the system
here suggested is altogether favor
able to it.
upon the consideration stated, I
am convinced that Spokane should
take steps to chang. its form of gov
eminent to one Of the kind already
indicated and that the change should
be effected with all reasonable expe-
dition. To that end I purpose, within
a few days, to name a committee to
investigate and report as soon as
practicable upon the general plan and
outline Of proposed charter, such
as I have herein suggested.
"[ earnestly suggest to the citizens
of Spokane that in the meantime they
give to this subject their thoughtful
consideration and that with a view
to intelligent discussion of any pro-
nosed plan they inform themselves as
fully as possible concerning the ex-
periences of other cities having the
commission form of government"

METEoRlc CAREER
OF LEONARD WOOD

On the second day of June, Major
General Leonard Wood became the
ranking officer of the Army of the
United States. Eleven years ago he
was a practising army surgeon, being
then 3S years of age. No other army
Sin the world, 1t has been said. ever
made a. doctor into the highest or It's
generals. General Wood Is IL record
breaker. Not only that, but his rapid
rise stands for a new army policy
the policy of promoting by selection
instead Of promotion by routine. He
believes In the new policy for others
as well as himself. Here is the way
lie has put the arguments: Take a
class Of hundred young men who are
graduated in law or medicine. Ten Of
them perhaps, will be extraordinarily
successful, ten will make a great sue
cess, ten others will be fairly success
5ful. and so on down the line until you
come to the fellows who are Just get
ting on. Why should young men in the
army be different? Men are alike and
the young men in the army resemble
the rest in their quality and degrees of
their attainments. Why should the
best and most capable be held down
TO the level of those who just get on
who merely do enough to hold their
commissions by system of promotion
by seniority? 1t robs the arlnysof in
centive. Competition spurs on men, In
or out of the army That argument
has not convinced all the politicians in
Washington, nor all the generals over
whose heads Leonard Wood has been
jumped, but 1t seems to have con-

dent Roosevelt and President Taft. In

only conquering hero, but a con-
