COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.

Sixty-eight municipalities In this
country are now governed by COM
missions. and it is estimated that with
in a year no less than 200 cities and
towns will have adopted that form OF
government In preference to the
present system The growth OF the
commission idea during the last year
has bean remarkable Galveston,
Houston and Des Moines have been
watched with Interest. and modif1ca-
tlons OF the plans of government oil
those cities have been adopted In no
less than sixteen towns in Kansas.
fourteen In Texas, ave each IN Iowa
and Tennessee. four each In Okla
homa and South Dakota. and others
in different states from Massachu-
setts to California The new charters
given to these cities and towns have
invariably given the people greater
share of home rule, and the record
under the commission form Is so sat
isfaotory that none of the places once
adopting II has desired to return TO
the older system. says the Intermoun.
tain Catholic AS a further evidence
of It's popularity. in only two per cent
of the municipalities in which the
commission plan has been submitted
has II been defeated at the polfS.
The growth of the idea is an index
OF popular dissatisfaction with the old
system OF control OF local affairs. OF
the granting OF franchises and the
inauguration OF improvements under
the direction OF political bosses and
corporation agents The people OF the
average municipality have come to
the conclusion that the business of
the municipality should be conducted
on business principles. and they look
upon the commission plan as offering
the opportunity of getting that busi'
neas management in slight degree, at
least The growth of tho idea lis one
of the most remarkable manifestations
OF ublic interest In public affairs, and
is almost certain TO he an Issue in

THE THIRD DECREE.

method OF securing confessions" and
in recent years the reports OF physical
and mental agony which prisoners
have been forced TO endure in tho
effort TO get them to say what the
limbs of the law would like them to
say arc almost incredible.
In Great Britain the first day OF
an officer upon making an arrest Is to
warn his prisoner TO keep silent, as
anything he may say may be used
against him at the trial. The pre-.
sumption is that the accused is inno-
