The Commencement exercises be-

"Little Bucfshot," a story of the
Mormon people. All Of the young

most pleasing to the large audience

credit upon their instructress, Miss
Vlvien Foye.
Friday night the exercises of the
Departments of Music and Express

immense audience evidenced the
high appreciation in which the school
and its pupils are held by our peo
pie. A program of music, instru
mental and vocal, and recitations
was presented by the pupils Of these
departments, each Of whom gave
unmistakable evidence of the careful
training they had received.

was a gem in thought and delivery.
The distinguished speaker, who
stands well to the forefront OF Flor

GOOD ROADS.

The building of good roads has be- come a science, but many advances 1 in good road constructin can be looked forward to in the near future. Every district is compelled to use the material at hand or adjacent but the question of how to adopt it so as to produce the best roadway pos 1 sible is the important thing t. be studied and learned. No general rule for the construction of roads can be applied everywhere alike, the local conditions being so different. Mary states have Highway Boards or a Road Commissioner, and it should be their duty to study the conditions and material at hand and instruct the local authorities what to use and how to use it.
 Some states have taken great for ward steps in road building, of these Maryland is one of the most notable. mainly because of the activity of Gov. Brothers. He has nearly abol- lshed the toll gates in Maryland, and through his efforts state bonds were voted and many miles of good roads have been constructed during the past two years, and the good work is be- ing continued.
 If there is anything in the state of Maryland that I dislike to see is the toll gate,' said Governor Croth- CTS in speaking before an improve ment association recently. The mney expended fir good roads bene- fits the residents of the cities. as we'll as the people of the counties, and he advised his hearers to take an active part and interest in their | improvement dSSOCldllouS. A SltIAoA who never thinks of anything but his business does not do half of his du> ty," said the Governor. The people should See that they get desired inn provements, and this is where the work of the improvement associations come in. There is no more important work being done in the state than oi improving the roads.
 We hope to see our people follow the example of Maryland, and become aroused to the further action for good roads, for they pay good interest on the investment.

every young woman born under the stars and stripes might share with her this feeling of supreme loyalty to flag and country. The scramble for titles and comets anA empty castles has been so unseemly .and so disap- pointing that it is indeed an encour- aging sign of the times that this young woman has the courage to de-
 her own.
 What higher or nobler ambition
 inspire any woman than to be iden-
 tified and associated with the pro
 gressive American women of today?
 In no other country is the degree Of intelligence so high Tn no other country are the opportunities for un-
 iversal education and uplift so easi- ly available. Nowhere else in there
 manifested so insistent a determina- tion on the part of womankind to
 profit by the advantages offered. To
 a woman of Miss Elkins observation
 and attainments then, what induce
 ment is offered by the opportunity to expatriate herself and become ident- fled with decadent royalty and the people of a nation whose masses aTe intellectual drones?
 The ambitious American girl of to-
 day has no need 10 blush for her
 country or it's people. She may oc-
 eating peas with a knife, but if she
 will stop to think she will remember
 that no sin is being committed, be- cause the peas and the knife are the rightful property of the acrobatic juggler. She will discover, if she stops to interrogate the friend who has shocked her, that behind this outward crude veneer is usually a genuine intellectual polish. It may not be recognized as polish, but even the chance observer can not fail to discover the depth of understanding, the unassuming good sense and the broad perspective gained by an inti- mate familiarity with affairs.
 American men and women have reached this conspicuous preeminence through the unhampered interchange | of intelligent ideas. This has been made possible by the free press and 1 by the zealously guarded right of freedom of speech. Where the peo- pie read and ponder the opinions ex. pressed on all sides of every question they are able to reach an intelligent | People who do read thus are not much given to the formation of the class lines which wealth or nobility seek to draw Miss Elkins knows this, just as every other in- telligent and loyal American woman knows it. To her and to them the appeal to patriotism is stronger than the seductive lure of the gold lace and tinsel of royalty or the crumb- ling magnificence of an ivy-clad pal ace.

THE COLORADO SPRINGS PLAN.

This charter is probably the mos advanced of any promulgated by an. American municipality, and contain: several provisions, the working ou of which will be watched with in terest throughout the country. II brief, the charter provides for commission form of government fix es direct responsibility on the mayor and four cOunciImen, abolishes the ward system, does away with nomi- mating conventions, eliminates party politics, provides for the Recall Initiative hnd Referendum. and places ample restrictions around the granting of franchises.
 The charter was carried by a vote of 3,161 to 263. Under the provisions of the charter, successful candidates must receive majority of all the votes cast.
 In assuming office, Mayor H. F. Avery said: We believe We shall be able to put the city on business basis, and in our business policies we shall not be controlled by any po- litical party or influenced by politi- cal consideration. We shall try to conduct the city's business as that of a private corporation is conducted and to that end one of the first things we shall take up is the matter of economy
 In many respects the charter is remarkable. The only elective off, cers are the mayor and four council men who compose the council in which the powers of the city are vested. Responsibility is fixed by the creation of five departments, at the head of each of which is one member. The departments, with their heads, are: Water and waterworks, May or H. F. Avery; Finance health and sanitation. E. w. Frost, councilman; Public Works and property, A. J. Lawton, councilman; Public safety, A. J. F. Whitaker, councilman. Pro- vision is made in the charter to put the wate" system on self support ing basis, and an effort is made to secure a uniform system of public accounting. The mayor will receive $3,60O salary, the councilmen $2,O0O each.
 The most radical measures per- haps, are in regard to elections, the purpose being to eliminate all fac. tional control. There are to be no nomination conventions, and all nom- nations are made by the filing of P individual certificates, the signer of each of which, as we'll as the nomi- nes, must make affidavit to the fact that the candidate is not the repres- entative of any political party. Me charter further provides that Moth ing on the ballot shall be indicative of the source of the candidacy or of the support of candidate. No bal lot shall have printed thereon any party or political design or mark, and there shall not be opposite to the name of any candidate any such designation or mark, or anything m. dicating his views or opinions" A majority of all votes cast is required; in case no one receives majority a second election is held. Except for invalids. no carriages are allowed on election day.
 No franchise may be granted ex. cept on vote of the qualified electors. The people reserve the right to reg
