| There are few, if any, civilized
countries in the world where SO
little effort is made to preserve the
sanctity of the Sabbath as here In

tries of the Old World all unneces.
sary servile work is prohibited by
law. In Australia only absolutely
I necessary labor is permitted and
those engaged in such labor are
compelled to enjoy their weekly
rest on some other day. In France
and Germany similar laws are en-
acted and strictly enforced. Even
our neighbor on the North-Can-

thrown off the cloak Of progress

THE INDIANA PRESS
Worth Watching.

The commission form Of government
for cities, an idea which but brief
while ago appeared on the western and
southwestern horizon no bigger than q
mans hand. is looming up. Just now
the cloud is central over Illinois. One
of the chief measures passed at the spe-
cial session of the Illinois legislature
and which has been signed by Cover
nor Deneen, OF that state within the
last few days, is the bill which permits
Illinois cities to try the experiment.
Springfield. the capital city. has al
ready voted to try the scheme. and
very likely soon all Illinois will be
turned into a huge experimental sta
ton wherein there will be much delv-
ing after the secrets of municipal bet
terment. The commission form of
government for cities, at least the
smaller cities, has apparently much
to recommend it. 1t appears to be
very business-like and effective-but
the idea is young yet. Cracksmen do
not have much luck when new lock
is devised until they lear nhow to ma
nipulate it. 1t may turn out this way
with regard to the commission form of
government in cities. The political
cracksman may find it easy after
time. This is not suggested to in any
way discourage the idea. The point
is that the commission form of city
government is soon to be in operation
in so many different places that those
cities which are not trying the expert
ment can well afford to wait and learn
how the plan works out generally, It
is bound to be very interesting series
of experiments to watch.-Lafayette
