A QUESTION OF SYSTEM ONLY.


If we understand the idea Of COM
mission form of government for city
is matter only Of adopting better
system Of government, there is moth
ing Of the "turn the rascals out" SEN
timent in the agitation here in Du-
rsngo, 80 far as we, in our innocence
and tenderfootedness, have ever heard
and so the crack and brag argument
of the opposition that "you can't take
an incompetent man and make him
competent simply by changing the
name of the office he holds" falls flat
for it is the system we want to change
and not merely the name of the Office.
The man who, under the old and faulty
system, may have appeared incompe-
tent may be very capable and com
petent man if system is adopted
which will give carability and compe-
tcnce a chance to show themselves.
Railroads and other big business
corporations change their systems as
frequently as a better system can be
devised for the operation of their bust
ness, the fact that our old time rail-
road men found the old methods of
operation sufficient for their needs
does not enter into the question and
is given no consideration. The oppor-
tunities for practicing economy and
for getting an improved service are
the two reasons why systems are be-
ing changed and the commission form
Of government for a city, if the testi-
mony Of residents Of many cities
which have adopted that form Of gov
ernment is worth anything, gives a
city chance to get improved serv-
leo at lower cost which undoubtedly
is very desirable condition.
There is no business man in Du-
range who, in his own private and
individual business, would hire force
of twenty y-nine clerks to transact a
business which consisted solely of the
expenditure of twenty-nine thousand
dollars, one thousand dollars to the
clerk, in a year, or say a little more
than three dollars per day per clerk,
but that is just what the city is doing
at this time and which is probably
the very reason for the city's getting
only 60 cents worth of benefit out OF
each dollar expended, and Mayor
Goodman says that that very condition
is true.
If, under new system, we can get
a better and more efficient service at
q lower cost we surely all want the
change in systems TO be made, to at
tempt to inject the idea into the ques-
ton that to vote for city charter is
to denounce our mayor and aldermen
as being thieves and grafters of the
blackest dye is to merely admit that
the proposition is SO sound and SO rea-
sonable that no legitimate and logi-
cal argument can be produced against
it and that the opponents are reduced
to twaddle and silly gush for their
orly arguments.
Vote for city charter and give the
city chance to become real city
in every sense Of the word by giving
our officials system to work under
which will enable them to produce that
result.

FAIR EXCHANGE.
A New Back for an Old One. How IL
Can be Done in Durango.

The back aches at times with a
dull, indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the region of the kidneys,
and again the loins are so lame to
stoop is agony. No use to rub or ap-
ply plaster to the back in this con-
dition. You cannot reach the cause.
Exchange the bad back for new and
stronger one. Durango residents
would do well to profit by the fol-
lowing example.
Mrs. Frank Dyer, E. Colorado St.,
Telluride, Colo, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills have been taken by one of
my relatives and have proved very
satisfactory. The person to whom l
have reference is seventy-eight years
old and had trouble from her kidneys
off and on for some time. Backache
was common and caused loss of
energy. Doan's Kidney Pills brought
prompt relief and proved of benefit in
every way. This remedy is worthy of
the highest endorsement"

We have Carl W. Cages permission
to send him "any old place just to
be going" What meaneth this change
of heart? We have seen the time
not long distant when he wouldn't
have gone farther than nine miles
ur the Animas valley, for fortune
and now? Do men as well as maids
change their minds?
1t being one of the pleasantest
things about reporters work to send
people out of town, on pleasure trips,
and such ike, the offer is too good
to be turned down. We thought of
Chicago and the far east, and of Seat
tie and the far west, but as Mr.. Gage
is an ardent admirer of Colorado, we
compromised on Denver, Pueblo and
Canon City.
After careful consideration we con-
clude that while the legislature is in
session Denver is no place for young
man of sound parts. Pueblo! well it
takes too long to develop insanity and
1T might be difficult to persuade peo-
pie that our subject has not all his
proper faculties-some mistaken per-
son around here would be sure to in
sist that Gage was just bluffinf
Canon City is our choice--it's SO easy
to get there. All you have to do Is
to forge check on your best friend
and you'll get free transportation, and
they won't charge you cent for your
board and room after you get there.
We, decidedly, are in favor of Canon
City and when Mr.. Gage reads this,
we are sure he will be pleased with
our selection.
