An Excellent Program AID Piano Fund

one Of the most successful every given

tive audience. an excellent program
and liberal door receipts all conspired
TO make It very pleasant evening and
also 10 help remove the piano debt.

rendered and the musicians, some lust
beginning their training and others al
their prime appeared to the best ad-
vantage.
In addition to the program abont a

Us gave It real railroad air, and from
'tne hearty applause it seemed to be one
OF the most popular numbers.
The High School Chorus sang the
Anvil Chorus" and The Williams" as
the closing number. Singing without a
leader the chorus showed the result of
most careful training. and to Miss Flora

All authorities who have studied the
history of municipal reform agree that
ENGLAND took the steps which solved the
Question of good city government more
than half century before the United
state, started in that direction. During
tho first third of the last century MUM
cipal affairs In England had reached d
state of degradation which makes the
worst condition of affairs obtaining in
any CITY of the United States today seem
good in comparison In ISL the great
reform measure passed by parliament
brought the question of recognizing the
cities of Britain into the realm or practl-
cal notifies BY an act OF parliament IN
the following year the cities of Scotland
were investigated by one commission,
while a royal commission studied condi-
lions in England and Wales. The re-
pnrts of these commissions are long, but
are regarded everywhere as being dis
tiucuished for their clearness, compre-
hensiyeness and vigor of statement. and
if any proud American thinks the United
States has had monopoly on municipal
corrllption his mind will he set right by
the exposures of these investigating COM
missions.
The municipal government in nearly
every city was so stepped In corruption

There is secret ballot. and it contains

Although the majority of commission

makes for bad city government. The

means reelection. Many members con-
