THE "SHORT BALLOT"

The "short ballot whose name the
public has hardly yet begun to use with
any comprehension of its meaning, is
evidently soon going to claim its share
Of attention. The Governor has been its
advocate for couple Of years, Speaker
Wadsworth recently indorsed its prin-
ciple, and now a resolution for con-
stitutional amendment carrying out its
purposes has been introduced at Albany
by Assemblyman Dana.
The amendment Mr.. Dana urges pro-
vides that of the state officers only the
Governor, Lieutenant Governor and
Controller shall be elected. The rest
Secretary Of State, State Treasurer, At
torney General and State Engineer and
Surveyor-shaIl be appointed by the
Governor. The argument is that the
duties of these offices are of such a
nature that there is no need of filling
them by election and that official re-
sponsibility viii be better fixed in the
Governor, while public attention will be
better centred upon the filing of Offices
If there are not too many of them on
the ballot TO be filled.
But excellent as is the idea of sim
plifying issues at elections by reducing
the number of officers to be voted for,
the short ballot is too novel to find
acceptance at once. 1t is hardly to be
expected that Mr.. Dana's amendment
resolution will be passed this winter. If
the principle of the short ballot" is suf-
ficiently favored to be adopted when the
next convention for the amendment of
the state constitution is held, that is
probably as much as can be expected.

TO DISCUSS THE
GALVESTON PLAN
CONVENTION IN REFORMED
TEXAS CITY ON THE SUBJECT
OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.
REFORMED

GALVESTON, Tex, October c.
Galveston will hold a city commission
! congress Nov. 81, % and 20, 1910,
to discuss the important subject of
municipal government.
Government by commission origin
ated in this city and it has a 1O-year
example of the success of the plan
Galveston has accomplished more big
things in 10 years than possibly any
other city in America. To her system
of municipal government is probably
| due more credit for this success than
any other factor
The invitation has been sent to the
mayor and similar request to the
presidents of all civic organizations,
in each town in the United States
having 5000 or more population The
city expects both a large and repre-
sentative delegation in attendance.
The date has been fixed to follow on
the heels of the Trans Mississippi
Commercial Congress, the first two
DAYS sessions of which are to be he'd
in San Antonio, and the last day in
/ Galveston.
| The circular letter says:
The splendid achievements Of the

large increase of municipal utilities
e renisons of waler mains and cleo
tri3 ghting; the increased efficiency
in our public service in all depart
ments at a minimum of expenditure,
has caused every Galveston to be
pardonably proud
For 10 years past this remarkable
progress of Galveston has been a sub
ject of favorable comment and has
excited close scrutiny and intense
study of the methods by which these
conditions have been reached.
THE grave question of municipal
reform is rife throughout our country.
Noted educators, prominent writer's
and publicists have addressed them
selves to the elaboration of the Gal
weston plan" until the demand for in
formation concerning this form of
government has grown so great that
the citizens of Galveston through the
mayor-president and city commission
and the various commercial bodies
have decided to call city commits
sion congress.

to this congress. Interesting papers
and addresses by the leading thinkers
Of the country on government by

at the Police Court this morning.
Young Santos or, as he now prefers
it, John Santos. Andrews, an incorri-
gible from Aala Park, and John Reb-
bic were committed for trial on the
charge of robbery reported yester-
day.
Neither of the defendants took the
stand, nor did they question the wit
nesses for the prosecution at any
length, Robbie contenting himself
with asking two of them whether
they were sure he was present to
which they emphatically replied yes.
and Santos declaring that he was
drunk.
Police officer Kiawi gave damaging
testimony against the two Aala Park
boys, stating that he heard them talk
ing up half and half ana afterwards
arresting them and finding the goods
on them in the shape of $3.50.
When Santos said he was drunk,
Attorney Brown asked Kiawi if that
was so, whereupon KiawI retorted
that Santos was as sober as you or l, -
an addendum which brought forth
general smiles.
Robbie didn't remember seeing the
witnesses and said there was no use
