Lexington People Give Credit
Where Credit is Due.

People of Lexington who suffer with
sick kidneys and tbad backs want
kidney remedy that can be depended
upon. The best is Doan's Kidney
Pills, medicine for the kidneys only,
made from pure roots and herbs, and
the only one that is backed by cures
in Lexington. Here's Lexington tes-
timony:
Lewie Hall, S. Main St., Lexington,
S. c., says: 81 suffered from kidney
trouble for several years and there
were severe pains in my back. The
kidney secretions were very irregular
in passage, at times copious while at
others scanty and could scarcely
void them. I grew weak, lost flesh,
could not sleep we'll and was nervous
and irritable. I finally procured
Doan's Kidney Pills at the Kaufman
Drug Co., and began using them. |
can honestly say that I never found
a remedy that gave me so much relief.
I am not as yet cured but Doan's
Kidney Pills have helped me to such a
great extent that 7 have no hesitation
in recommending them to sufferers"

of guilty last week to several CHARGE
preferred against him relative to ir
regularities in handling county funds.
Joiner was originally indicted for
grand larceny and embezzlement, but
strong influences were brought to
bear in his behalf, much sympathy
aroused on account of his family and
he was given Jail sentence and fines
aggregating 81 1920. He desires to
be pardoned of the Jail sentence, and
a petition, addressed to Governor Noel
was placed in circulation a few min
utes after he had been sentenced
His Irregularities amounted to about
$1,000.
A pardon petition had been present
ed in behalf of Jim Fitzpatrick, sent
up from Lefiore county to serve a
term Of one year for assault and bat
terry with intent to kill. Another
pardon petition presented is in behalf
of George Adams, white boy, eigh-
teen years of age, sent up from New
ton county to serve term for grand
larceny. In behalf of the latter it is
alleged that he was inveighed into the
crime by hardened criminals.

" eliminate politics from the manage
ment of municipal affairs. II this
claim turns out to be well founded,
as there seems some reason to be-
lieve, We may reasonably expect that
under the commission plan there will
be a business administration of the
public matters, instead of political
administration, as is so often the case
under the present system.
Third. The commission system al
lows to the aldermanic body great
latitude in the definition and SUPER
vision Of the subordinate offices and
officers, while the code system con-
tains Important legal restrictions
along these lines. The commission
system is therefore much more eff
Gent and much more elastic to the
requirements of conditions as they
arise. This greater, power. on the
other hand, is necessarily subject to
abuse in the hands of bad commits
sioners, and would probably be used,
in some cases, to Cypress the people.
1t is always important to have good
men in office. Under the commission
plan, where such large power is
lodged in the hands of a few men,
this is doubly true. The Bible init
mates, with unerring certainty, that
when the wicked are in power the
people mourn.
These are not all of the differences
between the two systems, but they
are the most important It remains
with us whether 1--WE shall endure the
ills we have, or fly to those that we
wot not Of" The political system
smells of graft and reeks with filth.
1t has been failure all over the
country in cities of every size. And
this is one Of the strongest arguments
In favor Of the proposed change. We
do not believe the commission system
win prove a panacea for all of our
ills, for it will not change
The essential nature of our public Off
GERS; but it ought ordinarily to give
! more efficient administration of the |
public business and this is something
o be desired.

Owing to the fact that several i'm.
portant members are out Of the city
today, and are not likely to return be-
fore the middle of the week. the COM
mittee will make but little Roadway

Large-sized snags are being devel-
oped at each session. Many conflict
ing interests and political ambitions
are to be reckoned with and. regard
less of the character of bill that may
be framed by the committee, it is
certain-that fights will be made on
the floor in each body to secure
changes.
The committee is adhering to its
original decision to create three new
circuit and two new chancery dis
tricts. It is doubtful, however, wheth-
er the measure will be in readiness
to report before the end of the week
All kinds of letters, petitions, re-

Hattiesburg is going toward bank
ruptcy as fast as it is possible for a
municipality to go. Will the oppo-
nents of a commission form of gov
eminent state how long they expect
to continue to pay so many useless Of

bonds and will they explain how they
can provide for their payment when
they can no longer issue bonds?

The people of Hattiesburg are again
called upon to stand the issuance of
bonds to pay the running expenses of
the city. To pay men salaries for
only devoting a small part of their
time to the work of the city. We won
der how long they will stand for this
while their streets like west Main

CAST OFF YOUR OWN TRASH.

The edict has gone forth that the
city will no longer cart Off for you
the old papers and other trash that
accumulates every day in your office
or store. When the city found it was
no longer financially able to do that
work, they gave due notice of the
fact and asked assistance from those
they had been serving, but receiving
very few favorable responses they
abandoned the service altogether. But
this in no way interferes with the law
prohibiting the throwing of any trash
in the cutters OF. on the streets or
pavements of the city. Indeed the
law should be even more carefully
watched after than before. The News
calls attention to this new order of
things, to save our readers from any
fines, penalties and endorsements.
Keep your trash in your own store or
office. If the store or office is not
large enough, rent a warehouse. Do

way have it hauled off at your own
expense, or you may be hauled off to
court at even greater expense. While
this is going on, if the city would is.
sue general cleanup order, and
among other things have all those
ugly boxes removed from the side
walks and out of the alleys, the looks
of the city would be much improved.
The City Fathers may not have the
financial ability to keep the city
clean, but they have this beyond all
question: The power to make the
people keep it clean. And since they
are lacking in financial ability, they
should be all the more vigilant in do
ng their full duty in having the laws

Of He municipalities in this state
were governed under separate char

The eelD chapter ON municipalities
is really . codification Of the various
charters which formerly existed. the
idea heing to retain the best and re-
ject .ths worst of all of the old char
teri. This was the central idea of
the Missouri plan. which was once re-
garded - being about the last word
on this subject.
The commission plan came from the
Legislature of 1908 in response to
demand for a non-partisan admins
tration Of municipal affairs along bust
ness lines. How far it will accom-
pish this remains to be tested in the
crucible Of experience. 1t seems to

calities. in which it has been tried;
but It 10 still in the experimental
stage; and some thinkers believe that

expression Of the commission idea.
Az we are on the Threshold of de-
termining whether we will stick to
the code system, sometimes denomi-
mated the political system, or adopt
the commission system, sometimes
called tho non-partisan plan, it may
be OF value to call attention to the
most prominent points of difference
between the two laws. There are
many points of argument between the
two. but with these we are not now
concerned.
First, the code system contemplates
nine aldermen and a mayor whose
bonds. salaries, and labor are all fixed
by themselves. The commission sys-
tenn contemplates three commission !
ers whose salaries, bonds, and labor
are 1xed by the people in the coming
election. Az to the other officers the
rule Of salary provided by law under

ule. The code system leaves the fix

Unusual Railroad Order

The $. P. office at Tucson has issued an order for the protec- tion of the clothes of tourists. It requires the observance of care and caution in throwing off of steam from engines because inquisitive tourists who get too near have their clothes fiecked with mixture of water and soot. The shower is caused by the condensation of the steam into water when the dirty mixture issues from the smokestack and strikes cool air currents above. The result is 8 shower which will ruin the clothes of all who happen to be within it's falling range.
 Orders have also been issued from the Tucson office prohibit ing the popping off of engines at stations.

Commercial Club Booklet

Arizona Republican: The Re publican is in receipt of a book let issued by the Yuma Commer- cial Club, which is probably the most artistic of it's kind ever is sued in this territory. Iti is very doubtful if anything better was ever gotten out anywhere. It is an advertisement of the Yuma valley and both text and illustra- tions were prepared with the greatest care. The illustrations are certainly fine. The booklet, which is really a pamphlet of some size, is geographically and artistically perfect.
