GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION
IS ADOPTED BY SIXTY CITIES

offices, there has been noticeable
increase of efficiency in all the de-
partments; public improvements have
been both stimulated and conducted
upon coherent plan, the business OF
the city is no longer hit-and-miss
affair, looked after at odd times by
men busy with other occupations, but
rational enterprise ably managed
for definite ends
In the old days the city council
met once a month; the new commits.
sioners or managers must meet once
week and may met at any time
by the call Of the mayor or of two
commissioners. All meetings must be
open to the public-a dear relief to
the people of Sioux Falls, for in the
old days there were star chamber
or executive meetings about which
the people were allowed to know
nothing. 1.-The difference between the
old system and the new system In
Sioux Falls" said resident, Is the
the difference between chaos and or
der; between twenty men each pull
ing in a different direction and five
all pulling in one"
Cedar Rapids affords probably the
best and clearest illustration Of the
practical workings of the new idea
Some of the achievements of the
new system were amazing, and stag
gered even those most familiar with
the slipshod ways OF the old. For ex'
ample, under the old regime the city's
revenues from the police court and
the police department amounted to
about seventy-iive dollars a month.
When Business Democracy came In,
1t increased those revenues to 800
a month, and without increasing the
assets. How? Merely by collecting
the license fees and other fees in
stead of allowing them to go by de-
fault Can there be any doubt that
the representative Is the costliest sys-
TEN OF government known to man?
Every month in Cedar Rapids the
hired managers render to the people
that hire them an exact account of the
PEOPLES business every item of re-
ceipt, every item of expenditure,
with balance sheet, so that the peo-
pie may Judge how well their hired
men are doing their work.
In all these cities the public bust
ness is apportioned among the com
missioners, each becoming the head
Of a department for which he alone
Is responsible to the people that hire
him. He is hired to manage that de-
partment as a railroad company hires
man to manage its freight depart
ment. II lie can secure results and
make success OF his department
good; he remains. II he proves in
competent, he Is released and an
other is engaged In his place.
Whether he goes or stays rests entire
" with the people that hire him. II
Is purely business arrangement,
the pernicious element of politics has
no more to do with It than politics
would have to do with a general
freight agent
These experiments are young and
may possibly be deemed not conclu-
sive, but the following achievements
OF the new plan seem to be fairly well
established:
/. 1t abolishes party politics from
local affairs.
s 2. II eliminates the boss, the
CRATER and the political machine.
8. 1t views municipality as a
great business enterprise and pro.
vides accordingly for It's effective
management.
4. It recognizes definitely the fall.

Don't forget that men are surely

You can never purify stream by
purifying one half of it. To purify
our race, men as well as women,

ties is not curing the evil but scat
tering 1t. And is it fair 20 other

Years ago Mrs. Bertha Castle was
mistress of house in Cairo. A
dressmaker told me f.Iat she told
her that the ladies of the church

ai.d leave them free to doas they
please But what good will 1t do to
harrow their feelings? There is not
one OF these church ladies' who
would take one of my girls into her
kitchen. with tears streaming down
her face she continued, mo one has
ever tried harder to reform than
have. have gone to other towns
and hired out, shortly some one who
knew me would say TO my employer,
why. | see you have Bertha Castle
at your house!' and out I'd go. I've
tried it many times"
hear you say, well, Miss Line
gar, give us your remedies. Hold
| aloft your torch for u.s.
Tell your Little boy that, If when
| he becomes a man, 1he wishes to
marry pure woman, he must be
worthy OF her by keeping his own

womans love and confidence Is a

| he sees about him. Tell him right
is right, and wrong is wrong, no mat

Tell your daughter that If anyone
makes love to her and asks her to
| do aught that would violate her con-
| science he is not a friend, protector
| or lover but instead her most dang

| ton.
| Now for the cure: Let the white
| slaves remain in their own home col
opy where they will do less harm
| than elsewhere. Then let our gov
eminent guarantee them employment
at good pay, and many will gladly

| When our government does guar

land employment at good pay, crime
will be reduced to the minimum
Then those who win prepetuate the
social evil, men, as well as women

Government has no right to exist
except for the happiness of the PEG

SIAM AND HER KING.

The death of Chulalongkorn seems
much like the destruction of some an
cient landmark. so. long had he been
upon the throne of the Land of the
White Elephant He had reigned for a
little more than forty-two years. or
longer than the great majority of SOW
ereigns. Only five antedated him. one
of them being the Emperor of Japan
and the others being the rulers Of five
states in that troublous southeastern
corner of Europe where such tenure
might he regarded as precarious-Aus-
tria- Hungary. Rumania. Montenegro and
Greece. Moreover before his accession
Siam was almost an unknown country

10 be practically the only King of Siam

The late King was. on the whole. a
nrogreSsive and benevolent ruler. per

best in the world. COntrasted with his
neichbors in Burmah on the one hand
and Anam on the other. he WAS note

Siam made remarkable progress in the

position. He possessed also some fine
qualities Of craftsmanship. which en-
abled him To maintain his authority and
ro govern the country with success dur
ing period of exceptional difficulties.
And like the senior sovereign Of the
world. Francis Joseph Of Austria. he had
the rare gift Of retaining and perhaps
even increasing his popularity in spite
Of staggering losses
The history of Siam has been that Of

times il WAS the battle-ground between
Rurmah and Camhodia. and il was not

Sir. Democrats of this state are dong
their utmost to make Roosevelt the issue.
One leading paper utters its dictum. me
Issue Is Roosevelt" while another declares
This year is the time and possibly the
only time 10 defeat Roosevelt In isz
Are these Democrats honest In this con-
tention? And II so are they not oiinoiS
raising a false ISSUE
The election Of Dix would undoubtedly
impair Taft's claim 10 the support OF the
Republican party in this state ana else
where for denomination. On the OF Ter
hand. with the election Of Sumson. tart
becomes naturally and properly the choice
of this and all other loyal Repubhcah
states for the 1872 nomination.
But Roosevelt is not the issue az this
time. The honest issue is approval or dis
approval OF the administrative RECORDS OF
Governor Hughes and President Tart, TO-
sether with It's corollary. continuance or
dfscontinuance of the policies OF the He-
publican party as set forth in state and
national platforms and faithfully carried
out BY President and Governor.
Roosevelt did a great work at Saratoga
for which he merits high praise His
task. however was but preliminary to the
work now in hand. The fitting seal ana
crown 90 the Saratoga victory, achieved as
I, was by a good majority Of the dele
gates under the brilliant leadership Of
Theodore Roosevelt is the election OF the
ticket at the head of which stands the
name of Henry L. stimson. potentially a
worthy successor to Charles Evans Hughes

THE VESTS VIEW or 1T.


Efforts have been made to show TINT
the people Of the West do not compre-
bend the real issue OF the campaign IN
this state. Perhaps they were misied at
first. but they are fast coming 20 see
that the vital issue which the Republic
cans of New York had to meet was the
publication of politics and the populaT'-
zation of party government. The most
alert of the Progressive newspapers OF
the West understand the situation here
better than many New York newspapers
do. Thus. The Topeka Capital justly
said the other day
The fact that at sara toga faithless
and offensive bosses were beaten To q
fragile. while at the Rochester conven-
ton no bosses were beaten. but bosslsfn
was enthroned. is not the only dIstlr nc
tor that New York newspapers are
overlooking when they fail to discTlTnl-
nate between bossism over both conVen-
tions.
The other distinction which, in the
Topeka newspapers view. Is overlooked
here is that the boss Of the Saratoga
convention Is going out and speaking TO
thousands Of people everywhere, while
the boss Of the Rochester convention i
scheming. as usual. in his back room out
of sight. our Kansas contemporary IS
moved TO ask:
II these two bosses" are all one SO
far a : popular government is concerned
nitn them why is not Murphy on 1he
stump and why are not the people clam
oring to hear him in behalf Of his po-
litical ideals?
Murphy knows that his political ideals
will not bear examination. He bates the
light and shuns il. and * asking the
voters to do him the accommodation OF

whom he can continue 10 work IN the

INDEPENDENCE IN RECOGNITION,

IN RECOGNITION.
There is much that is interesting in
the nroposal which Great Britain is said
to have made and Germany to have sec
ondei that the recognition of the Portu-
cuese republic shall he given by all the
,,ourarS NJ The same time Probably only
the European powers are meant. but
even with that limitation there would ne
something exceedingly impressive and
beyond doubt highly gratifying 10 Portus
cal in such action. It would, OF course,
be a striking innovation. Hitherto the
various governments Of the world have
recognized new states or new govern
mentS separately. at intervals of days.
weeks. months or even years. the prompt
ness or delay sometimes depending upon
obvious circumstances of relationship
and sometimes being governed by no
discernihle causes. Seldom. however.
has any considerable embarrassment
been caused by such differences Of date
or any new government suffered in
Jury from the delay Of any power to
give it formal recognition.
The chief advantage in q simultaneous
recognition BY al the powers would be
in the emphasis which would thus be
given 10 the act and in its strong impli-
cation that the validity OF the new gov
eminent aud the propriety of recogniz-
ing it were spontaneously agreed upon
hy the world. Hitherto there has per
haps been room for surprising that
