Rare Remedies.

In some parts Of England the lla-
tives say the best way to cure a
stiff neck is to wrap a live snake
about it. In some of the Hebrides'
islands great faith is had in perforat-
ed, water-worn stones called SNAKE
stones" These are dipped in tepid
water, which is then given to cattle
which have been bitten by snakes. II
no stone can be obtained the head
OF an adder dipped in the water
gives just as good results. An cells
skin worn as garter around the
naked leg is a fine preventive of
cramps, and some localities it Isl
equally good as a bandage for q

PROPOSED NEW CHARTER.

Last Monday evening a num-
Der Of fl t lh.f business rfsn Wersf in
ter for the, .City of New Iberia,
which VIM IF approved by the
people probably by mass meeting,
at soma .ea9It date Be submitted
to the Legislature of Louisiana
for enactment, placing New iberia
on the, Commission Form of Gov.
ernment.l' This charter was drawn
up by two members of the loca!
bar, together with few inter
ested citizens and will enable the
Commissioners to manage the en-
tire affairs of the City as it should
be, in a. business manner. each
Commissioner having charge and
being entirely responsible to the
people for his department, which
will place them in position to
economic and cut off number
of officers now on the pay rolls,
with very little if any service
given The Commissioners to
furnish a bond of $4,000 each and
be subject to the recall with fiji
teen per cent of the property, tax
payers asking for the removal Of
the Commissioner for failure to
do their duty or for a wanton
waste of the funds. The Charter
as it stands seems to meet the
wishes of many citizens of New
Iberia that are more than anxious
to see the political factions as they
now exist relegated to the back
ground, and if this is accomp-
lished there is no reason why the
new system should not be receiv-
ed with open arms. One feature
that should be changed before
submitting to the Legislature and
that is increasing the right of re-
cali from fifteen per cent of the
voting'pdpulation to not less than
forty or even fifty per cent, as the
percentage is so. small that most
any, officer Will be subject to a
great deal of trouble in holding
his position without interference
by those chronic ikickers, p who
stand readyaat all times to critl-
ciselthe work. of the officials when
theysareI striving with all their
might TO do d their duty as they
seepit.' This Charter will in a few
days be- given free circulation by
the committee in, charge Of the
work land then the people can
Judge for themselves as t. the
meritsI OF dement's of the bill. ,

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-02-10

Tubby Hicks paused in his labored
progress along the path which led
from the Luzon power plant through
the fruit laden longboi bushes to his
neat little shack upon an Abra hillside,
and as he mopped the sweat from his
tropic bleached forehead he gave low
whistle Of surprise, for impaled upon
a bamboo stake at the turn of the
path and on a level with his own eyes
was the head of an Ilocano. it's pock
marked face looking straight into his
with n comical leer. "Humph-did it
at one lick" he commented wheeling
~ as he noted the neat way in which
the neck had been severed.
First peering cautiously about him,
he hastily wrenched the head from the
stake, tucked it under the flap of his
wide Khaki coat, sauntered on toward
home and, wrapping the head in sew
eral layers of the Manila Times, he
carefully concealed it in the bottom of
his trunk.
That evening Tubby, to Sebastian's
unbounded surprise, permitted the mu-
chacho to leave an hour earlier than
usual and, when the streaming tail of
his camisa had vanished round the
turn of the path, took possession of
the smoke incrusted kitchen with its
half dozen primitive clay stoves i'm
bedded in a long trough of ashes.

The "RecaH."

It was ridiculous, to say the least,
of the lower house of the Illinois gen
eraI assembly to raise the percentage
of the recall" in the commission bill
to 75 This action was only another
of the many attempts made under the
new system of killing good legislation
by poisoning bills with bad amend
ments.
The Chicago Post gives statistics
from other cities. and these figures are
very important. Precedent proves the
fallacy of the Chiperfield argument.
Precedent should have some weight
even with this legislature.
Not one of the 16 states which have
permitted their cities to adopt the
commission form of government, says
the Post, "have imposed upon them
any such figure On the contrary, al
most all of the 50-odd American cities
now under commission government are
able to recall their erring commits
sioners upon petitions of reasonable
size. Here, for example, is the way
the recall figures run in the charters
of representative cities:

The Automobile Age.

How rapid are the strides in mechan-
ical progress the automobile industry
indicates. Whereas a few years ago
"the horseless carriage" was a curiosi-
ty. there were produced in 1909
10000 cars and the output for the
current year will approximate 100000
cars. In 1908 the production was dou-
BILE that of 1907, and 1906 showed a
60 per cent gain over 1905 Manufac-
turers are unable to meet the calls
upon them and the trade expects the
supply to fall far short of the demand.
Five years ago the European-made
ear outclassed the American built ma
chine, and even if there were no tariff
20 prohibit impoTtations it is altogeth-
er likely that none but the highest
priced cars would be imported The
American car, except in the hand
worked features, is concededly better
than any machine>built abroad, our
superior skill in mechanics showing in
this industry as in most others.
In the beginning the industry was
restricted to eastern districts and the
auto was an expression of superlative
wealth But today the farmers of
Kansas are riding to market in their
own machines, and land-seekers in
whatever new country are carried to
prospective town sites over rolling
prairie in high-power cars. My lady
making social calls uses an electric
machine, while the brewery delivering
to the trade or the department store
conveying bundles to houses finds the
automobile cheap and convenient.
The production of high-priced cars
has increased from 10 to % per cent,
but the increase in the low-priced
product has been from ten to twenty
fold. A machine that is cheap today,
as compared with prices charged d
few years ago, is as good as was the
highest-priced car then, competition
and new discoveries and processes of
manufacturing having brought down
the prices. There are 263 firms en-
gagged in producing cars and $500
agents handle their output. Michigan
alone is producing 10000 cars. Ohio
ranks next with $4,000. and Indiana
third with 81, 200. In 81 states are
manufacturers with capital invest
ment of $175, 100000, taking no &C
count whatever of the accessory and
parts manufacturers. The value of
the 1910 output will approximate $225,-
100000.
That so vast a business could be
built up practically within the short

The Dutv TO Homo industries.

1t is the duty of Rock Island to
stand by its industries and to extend
any reasonable advantage that may be
essential to their expansion and devel-
opment. The Rock Island Plow com
pany has petitioned the council for the
vacation of certain streets in the west
end to enable the company to release
itself from its present cramped sur
roundings, and grow. 1t is not clear
how the granting of these rights will
work any hardship, inasmuch as way
is to be provided by the company and
made part of the agreement, to in
sure a way for future railroads to
come into the city; whereas, on the
other hand, it promises both boon and
a boom to industrial development.
With the provision that the abandoned
strips are to revert to the city at any
time the pillow company abandons the
site the indications are the advantages
sought will be readily conceded.
