the troubles that vex ordinary NUM-
cipalities and lead TO exciting sIruS-
giles at tae polls are absent. There
is no mayor, board OF aldermen or
city council. There is no police graft
because the police force is privately
paid and managed. There is no liquor
issue because the only place where IL
quoT is permitted to be sold is in the
towns one immense hotel. There l.
no social evil because only those aD-
proved by the management OF the
place are allowed TO reside in any part
Of il. Everything is done for the
citizens and nothing by them. If they
have any criticisms or suggestions 10
make these may be offered over the
telephone or by mali to the business
office from which all the affairs of the
town are managed and if complaints
lodged in this way have any foun Ia
ton they are acted upon without any
delay or discussion.
From its very foundation the town
has been unique among American
communities. 1t was established by
Alexander T. Stewart, the first man TO
wnom the long-abused title of "meT-
chant prince was applied. SteWar,
intended it to provide homes for thu
thousands of employees of his great
retail store and his other enterprises.
His idea was to have houses at vary
ing rentals, all moderate. for every
class of worker in his establishment
from the head of department down
TO ioOT-WaIkers and humble counter
jumpers. He laid out his town with
tne aid of the best landscape archi
tects, allotted to each house a yard
space which anywhere else would hav
been regarded as enormous, Planted
trees and ia many other ways made
the locality attractive. With his
death, however, the personal enthus-
iasm being gone, and the business of
the great merchant passing into other
hands, the town without government
lost it's pristine character. hstead Of
becoming a community of department
store employees it soon began TO find
favor with the wealthy and fashiona Die
who sought homes on Long Island and
to whom its aTistocratic restrictions
appealed.

Grafton of the action of the state board
of equalization in increasing the value

Douglas cOunty's assessment, until
the return of State Treasurer Brian.
Even then it is possible no agreement
can be reached and that it will be
necessary for the board to defer action
until the governor gets back from the
northwest. Auditor Barton has re-
turned from the east, but as Land
Commissioner Cowles and the secre-
tary of state do not agree about Oma-
ha merchandise or banks the auditors
vote would not settle the question.
