That afternoon he gathered every

The Commission Form.

Golfers Weekly: Ordinary business
sense exists in the people of the United
States, and that is the reason why
they are rapidly deciding in favor Of
commission government in their cities.
1t was chance that led Galveston to
take the step. and it was because it
worked so well that other cities fol-
lowed. The old game of having cities
governed for the sake of furnishing
sustenance to professional politicians
and their hangers-on is about played
out
On Oct. II the city OF Lynn, Mass
achusetts, voted upon this question.
The intelligent business interests are
In favor of the plan for straight COM
mission of five members, elected at
large, and responsible to all the people,
Against this plan under which the
mayor is a mere figurehead, and there
is a council of which the majority are
elected from the wards. The public
service monopolies are behind the
politicians
Charles w. Eliot has come out
strongly in favor of the straight com
mission plan, which is being backed
by the Mems Federation, and that plan
has the support of every bank pres
dent in Lynn, except one. This is one
of the reforms in which there is no
conflict between moral considerations
and business considerations. 1t is
proposition of ordinary sense and rests
fundamentally on the growing belief
of the people that the time has come
for them to get their moneys worth
out of city government even as they
expect to get it out of the conduct of
any private business.

Republican OmcehoIders.

Creating nearly 1000 permanent re-
publican oficeholders at "one stroke
of the pen" is the latest political ac-
complishment OF President Taft. He
has issued an order placing all assis-
tant postmasteTs under the civil ser
vice law. Whether these republican
partisan officials can be made to attend
strictly to business, instead of pulling
wires TO nominate and elect those who
made them VIII be the burning ques-
ton. Civil service reform must be
fairly administered or we want none of
it. 1t is a serious question to settle
whether a standing army of partisan
of1ceholders is the best condition for
a democratic republic 1t will be well
for democrats to keep their eyes on
these assistant postmasters so that
those who interfere in behalf OF the
republican organization can be re-
moved when the democrats get into
power. Every citizen has the right to
aspire to an appointive as well as an
elective office, and the appropriation of
most of the appointive offices by the
republicans is not true civil service
reform and Is not binding upon the
democrats.

various non-de-plumes, such as "Citi-
zen", Subscriber, Zone of Your Read
ers', Law and Order, Etc, and in
several of the letters. so designed for
publication attacks are made upon the
authorities. county and municipal.
Others simply discuss the situation,
express the interest of the writer's on
what is going on, cheer the Law and
Order league, commend the press and
condemn the public officials who have
been remiss in their duty.
While it is gratifying to note from
the number who have taken the pains
to write, the widespread concern that
has been aroused in Rock Island over
the recent happenings. The Argus is
forced to repeat what it has said many
times, that it's columns are under no
circumstances open to anonymous COM
munications the authors of which are
unknown. People who are inclined to
write on subjects of public moment,
and civic pride, and on questions of
public morals and the enforcement of
law are often permitted to do so by
newspapers above an assumed sigma
ture, but in any event the cor
rect name Of the author must be
given to the editor. Where at
tacks are made or even crit
icism INDUCED in of anyone else, no
matter how we'll merited, the person
writing the communication must stand
publicly responsible for what he says.
The well regulated newspaper, will
not turn it's columns over for the pro-
miscuous use of everybody who may
want to express himself, and who is
not strong enough in conviction or
courage to give his name.
Communications of the last named
description invariably find their way
by a speedy route to the waste paper
basket.

women, conscious of his own short

it was forced upon him it was more
disconcerting even than If be had

The term was fully a fortnight Old
before Matthew began to note essen

which had nothing in common with
the blatant EaudinesS of lighter ttnts

becoming to the face underneath. But
there was no doubt in his mind about
the face itself Even his untutored
appreciation grasped the fact that twice
q week the most delicate complexion
and the brownest eyes and the softest
chestnut hair and the most bewilder-
ing tip tilted nose and the sweetest
mouth in two hemispheres were sepa-
rated from him, in fact, by the width
of the class room aisle and metaphor

she was talking with another man,
and the stupidest man, at that, in the
whole of Kenton City!
Things went on in this fashion until
February, and then Matthew took q
resolution. In his mothers conserva-

The Anonymous Correspondent.

Since the Inauguration of the crusade
against gambling in Rock Island, with
attending sensational developments,
scarcely a day has passed that the
mails have not brought to The Argus

is discussing. Many of the letters have
contained merely words of approval Of
