THE COMMISSION BILL

For reasons we have given be-
fore, we favor the commission form
of government for cities; but that
does not signify our approval of
every clause of any sort of a com
mission government bill the legisla-
ture may enact. and we seriously
question the advisability of fasten-
ing on city as small as Paducah a
salary of $4,000 for the head of
the government as a substitute for a
present salary list for mayor and
board members of less than SO 900.
IL would be difficult to find any 3d.
600 men in Paducah for the mayor
and four commissioners. who could
afford TO neglect their businesses.
aud naturally we would expect a
man, who receives a salary like that,
TO devote his entire time to the
duties of the Office. Consequently,
we should find the men capable of
filling the offices declining to serve,
and politicians, who couldn't COM
mand half the amount, scrambling
for places on the commission.
II would be better TO elect highly
proficient business men, such as
compose the board of public works,
To the commission at moderate sal
aries. and add the increase to the
salaries of such experts as they
might place in charge of the detail
work. which would relieve the COM
missioners of time consuming re-
sponsibilities so they could attend
20 their private affairs, thus assuring
the public of high class, experienced
men of affairs at the helm, and pro-
ficient executives in the departments.
The proposed Combs bill contains
the initiative and referendum fea-
lures. on a petition of 25 per cent OF
the voters, but does not provide for

Obituary

county, Mo-, August Z. 1865 and
grew to womanhood on the home
farm in the Prairie Mound neigh
borhood. May 81, 1885, she was
married to VIM. M. Bemrose and
was left a widow the following
October. Soon after that she re-
moved with her father and mother
to Laclede.
July 9, 1897, she was married to
E. T. Osgood and to them three
children were born, who survive
their mother; Henley aged IL years
and Ivan and Imogene aged 6 years.
She was beautiful child, bright
in her studies at school, quiet,
gentle, affectionate and universally
admired and loved. Some years
ago, she united with the Presby-
terian church in this city.
Fora number Of years she was
engaged in the millinery business
and those best acquainted with her
business career testify to her ster-
ling honesty as a business woman.
While she had been an invalid
for couple of years and had been
a great sufferer, the final end was
sudden and unexpected. She had
been out in the kitchen different
times on Friday, April s, and late
in the evening her mother went to
her bedside, spoke to her and re-
ceiving no reply, hastily summoned
a neighbor and called the doctor
but she had peacefully slipped
away into eternity before the ar
rival of the physician. She had
known for some time that death
was inevitable and had said she had
no fear, no dread of death, only
that she would like to live for her
children's sake.
She had repeatedly expressed the
request that Rev. Anderson should
preach her funeral. The services
were held at the Methodist Episco-
pal church at 2:3O p. m. on Sun
day, April 10, 1910, by the Rev.
VIM. Sissons and Rev. j. W.
Anderson of Keokuk, Iowa, and
the body laid to rest in the beauti-
full cemetery near by to await the
final resurrection. The day was
ideal in it's beauty and the budding,
blooming trees, so full of life and
fragrance, graciously foreshadowed
the joyous awaking of those who
sleep in Jesus.
The large number of people
visiting the home and in attendance
upon the funeral services attest the
high esteem in which she was held
by the entire community.
Mrs. Henley, the aged mother de-
serves and commands the deepest
sympathy and greatest possible help
in her profound sorrow and in her
care for the orphaned children whom
she will strive to keep together and
who will be a boundless comfort to
her, while at the same time great
care as well.

little dreaming that cleaning that
carpet would take the whole day;

The time of making garden is
at hand and it is also time to pen
up the chickens. There is per-
haps nothing that causes as much
hard feelings in locality as for
chickens to wander on a neighbours
premises and garden. Some say
they do not do any harm. That
makes no difference, your neighbor
does not want to be annoyed with
your chickens and you should not
cause trouble by allowing your
fowls to run at large. A hen that
will not stay in the enclosure will
usually make a fine Sunday dinner.
The big head" is popular way
of expressing a common and very
frequent ailment. 1t arises from
various sources but the real found
alton is lack of sense. A little
money develops it in some people;
a few good clothes gives it to
others; a little Office, where chance
is given to exercise little authority
is often the cause of it, while others
get it having a little better job than
their associates. The truth is no
sensible person gets the big head. "
The ones who become stuck up and
stiff-necked from sources of any
kind are weak in the intellectual
caliber.
