Editorial

The city of GAINESVILLE held special
election to determine whether that
municipality should adopt the new law
permitting cities to change from the
present system to the commission plan.
The verdict was strong against the in
novation. Other Wisconsin cities are
wrestling with the proposition. Who
will say that Viroqua might not be
better and more economically governed
by board of three competant citizens
able to give municipal affairs the same
careful attention they devote to their
personal affairs? And who will attempt
to believe that Vernon county could not
be more intelligently and economically
served and governed by a commission
of three far-seeing men than under the
present cumbersome plan of thirty
three persons, many of them unfamiliar
with public affairs?

Sustains Severe Injury

On Wednesday evening of last week
while returning home after social
call at the 0 P. Hill home, Mrs. David
Strawn of this city sustained severe
injury. Mrs. Strawn thought she had
reached the sidewalk from the porch at
the Hill home before such was the case.
Falling heavily, she fractured her thigh
bone. She was hurried to the home OF
her daughter, Mrs. Ady, and medical
aid summoned. In view of the fact
that the sufferer is seventy-six years
of age the injury is a severe tax upon
her strength and fears are entertained
by her relatives and friends that she
may not be able to withstand the ordeal
