What Commission Government
 Requires,

The commission form of govern ment for cities has so many features which commend it that the new sys- tenn is making remarkable headway. Dozens of cities have already adopted it, and the idea constantly grows. The city of Galveston. Texas, was the first to try the commission system, and the Galveston News ought therefore to be an authority on the subject.
 While giving it's warm approval to the results achieved. the News em- phasizes a point necessary 10 be kept ! in mind-that no system of govern ment, however good in theory, will work successfully if the people neg feet to elect the right kind of men:
 "Of course those who have tried the change, as yell as those who contem- plate a change and have considered the new method fully and wisely. un- derstand very clearly that commits sion government to be satisfactory must have more rather than less at tention from the honest voter. It is no self-acting arrangement by which the good citizen is left to sleep while somebody else is doing the rest for him. It is not plan by which either the votes or the services of the best citizens can be dispensed with. On the contrary, it is the one plan which calls forth and renders necessary the jealous assistance of all honest and patriotic citizens, and which. without this, is sure to result in failure and disaster The first thing for jhe peo- pie of a city. to learn when they de- eide to resort to commission govern ment is that it is their government and that it depends for success upon their interest and their efforts"
 The Galveston News is eminently correct. There is no short cut to per lection in government. It is the be- lief of many people that it is possible to devise such progressive forms of government for states and cities that these forms will work automatically, while the citizen goes about his busi- ness. The fact is. that every pro gressive" feature that is proposed for governments calls for added vigilance on the part of voters.

Mir. Hunts Veto.

The Hon. G. Washington Peter
 Hunt. late president of the constitu-
 tiOnal convention, informs a waiting and anxious people that mo commit
 tee will be sent to Washington to as-
 certain the sentiment on the consti-
 tuition"
 And that settles that" There will
 be no effort to further ascertain the | truth by the democracy which is fol-
 lowing Boss Hunt to its slaughter for 1 this element of the democracy has
 thinking for itself All the thinking necessary is done by Hunt and the socialist leaders. Hunts veto of the proposition to send d delegation of democrats to Washington will make it impossible for that course to be taken. Nobody dares question his dictatorship. All independence and self assertion is gone from the Ari- zona democracy. Having thrown it's own principles away for the prln- ciples of socialism. the Arizona de- mocracy joyously rides down the swift current in the borrowed socialist boat. and takes no thought of the destruc- ton which awaits statehood but a short distance ahead What need is there to think O. tomorrow?
 Hunt ,l,z -,
 stitution is approved by a large ma jority at the polls it will be approved by the president and congress" Of course. There can be no doubt that MT. Hunt knows better what the president will do with the constitu- tion than MT. Taft himself knows. The presidential attitude, kindly con- veyed to the people of Arizona through Governor Sloan, will be revised as soon as the election returns are in MT. Taft-according to the Hunt tribe of politicians-is guided in his actions by election returns, and not by his own ideas of right The great terri tory of Arizona has a population which approaches the enormous pro- portion of one-half of one per cent of the country's total population. If this insignificant fraction chooses to declare in favor of principles which MT. Taft believes contrary to the spirit of the American constitution, MT. Taft's convictions will of course give way-Mr. Hunt says so.
 If the Hon. MT. Hunt were devout man. we should direct him to the scriptural warnings against false prophecy. for there is a day of sad reckoning just ahead for the false prophets who are now assuring their deluded followers that this constitu- tion will not wreck statehood for Ari- zona.

carefully refrained from hurting the feelings of anybody, and with these limitations he drew the long bow with abandon. Not even Arizona's own Joseph Mulhatton-himself noted as one of the worlds most harmless and entertaining liars-was at any time in the same class with Eli Perkins" in drawing entertainingly upon a vivid imagination. With the passing of Eli Perkins" the last of our plat form "humorists" has disappeared Petroleum V. Nasby," "Artemus Ward" @. Philander Doesticks,' "Bilr' Nye and Mark Twain" Amer ica's greatest humorist and the worlds greatest man of letters, had passed to the beyond-many of them long ago before Eli Perkins" was called. Per sonally. Eli Perkins" was perhaps best known of all the platform hu- morists, for he industriously ''lec- tured" year in and year out for half an ordinary lifetime, and visited every section of the United States.

The Gentle suffrasettss of Kansas.

While the suffragettes of England are languishing in jail because of their ungentle assaults upon cabinet members and other officers of the government, they should take time to read how their more enlightened sisters in the United States win their victories for equal suffrage.
 The legislature of Kansas is to be besieged this year as never before, by the advocates of woman suffrage. But these willy politicians in petticoats do not propose to take brickbats with them to Topeka. On the contrary. they will approach the legislators with blandishments that appeal They have arranged to feed" the Kansas states men at a series of dinners to such a repletion that every crusty crank will have to surrender out of very good nature wrought of good meals.
 American women know that for the man who has dined well it is difficult to refuse a favor-and they propose to coax out of the Kansas legislature the favor of votes for women.

THE FIRING LINE
l: F:

You are out on the firing line of the world" You know what it is to be | tempted, how easy it is to give in to the calls Of temptation. You have seen people fall all around you because they allowed the white flag to go up when they should have still insisted upon holding up the mo surrender sign.
 You have seen people fall whom you | thought the very embodiment Of cour- age and fidelity and you have some times wondered if it were possible for any one to run straight"
 Then you have looked at yourself and said, Well. yes. I guess it is Haven't always managed to do it. and l think about as many temptations have come to me as any one. Those who fall are naturally weak"
 Yet you know this reasoning isn't right any more than your intolerance of weakness is right. You know that you have been tempeted-really tempt ed, like these others. You've been a pretty good soldier, but really you nev- CT have been where the fighting has been very severe. Somehow there has been some sort of a barrier between you and real danger from temptation. You haven't realized it because no one has really ever forced the fact home Co you.
 Have you ever considered that each person is a peculiar combination of de- sires, longings and aspirations? Have you ever thought that what may be safely done by one person may rot even be thought of by another?
 To each of us has corne the inherit ance of the ages, and with that inherit has come both weakness and strength. We know now that it is a puerile cry to say that we cant help" q certain peculiarity or habit because it was born in us. We also know that when We undertake to rely on that cry we are betrayed, and that at each sur render to it We are made weaker. and for every victory over it we are that much stronger and better. Because of the winning fight We put up We are that much better to ourselves and to the world
 The heroic men and women of the world are they who are on the firing line and who resist temptation. Some times it takes almost superhuman courage and patience, it calls for high quality of endurance, to put be- hind one the temptations that come in the most attractive form. I. is then that one longs for the opportunity to run away to some safe place. But we know that is the towards way of re- sisting temptation and so we stay on the firing line and fight it out.
 A great many of the good people of this world are good because they have never been really tempted. They have always been fortunately surrounded with all the barriers of custom and. kincly consideration thrown up be- tween them and the world, and know ing nothing of temptation. they can not understand the frailties If others. | COmplacently they condemn those who err. although themselves unfit for judgment

VELVET BAND.

The band of narrow black velvet worn around the throat is now in vogue. It should be fashioned with quaint. old-fashioned pin. This is a fashion to be expected with the col larless bodices and it is very becom- ing to the woman with the prettily rounded throat. and it serves to con- ceal defects if the throat is too long We see this pretty fashion in the DOT traits painted by GainsbOrough and Reynolds. and. by the way. the band of black velvet ribbon around the throat brings with it the coquettish little black patch.

Eli Perkins.

With the death of Eli Perkins, less familiarly known by his right name, Melville D. Landon-at Yonkers, New York, the other day, the world lost its most conspicuous and cheerful liar. While he rejoiced in being known as a champion purveyor of untruth, Eli Perkins" always succeeded in be- ing a successfully cheerful prevari cator. His mission was to please, he

RICH SON FINDS
MOTHER DESTITUTE

Thirty years ago John Mics, then a
youth living near Brownsville, Union
county. whose family is well known
in southern Wayne, and who were at
one time residents of the county, left
his home to seek his fortune in the
west His leavetaking was much
against the wishes of his parents.
He went to Kansas City. Mo. He
never correspondended with his par
ents and forgot where they were To-
Gated. He was successful and became
rich and when he obtained a position
of some affluence he endeavored to To-
cate his parents in order that they too
might enjoy his good fortune. His eff
forts at first We're unsuccessful. His
parents seemed lost to the world as
their friends of thirty years ago were
not informed of their Whereabouts
after they had left Brownsville The
son searched for years. He finally be-
gan to send out thousands of circulars
letters.
On last Thanksgiving day one of
these letters fell into the hands of a
former friend who was acquainted
with the circumstances of Mrs. Miles.
He notified the anxious son. who came
Indiana and found his mother in the
aoor farm in Franklin county. His
ather had died in the same county in
rmary several years ago. The omth-
T was returned to Kansas City by the
On and she will spend the remainder
her life with her son where every
comfort win be supplied.

A to House Rules.

Many Democrats who favor Repre-
sentative Champ" Clark of Missouri
for speaker of the house continue to
get into the newspapers with their
views on House rules. A person away
from Washington would think that the
entire question is bound up in the pro-
position to have the house elect a COM
mittee on committees for the purpose
Of taking from the speaker the power
of appointing the committees. OF
course this, in measure, is large
power. but the real fight of the in
surgents is to devise a plan by which
the committee may be forced to re-
port any public or resolution to the
house, SO that the majority may have
an opportunity to debate and vote on
such a measure. The real fight on
Speaker Cannon had its origin in the
fact that a committee having control
of a national measure would not re-
port such bill If the chairman Of the
committee was opposed to- it. and
hence arose the cry that Sn>4ker Can
non had backed the conn tees" A
rule which the insurgents l . framing
and hope to see adopted, a. the short
session, will permit majo, ty of the
house to discharge a committee at any
time after bill has been before a
committee a reasonable length Of time
without action. The assertion is made
that the adoption of such rule woula
take from the speaker the power to
control the legislation and place it
within the power Of the house to take
up any measure it may desire.
