Government by Commission.

The commission plan of govern
ment,'' writes Judson c. Welliver in
the August number of Munsey's Mag.
azlne, proposes to merge the leg.
lslative functions, once exercised by
the city council of one or two
chambers, and the executive powers,
formerly held by the mayor; to
repose both in a small commission,
commonly of five members; to have
this commission elected by the peo-
pie of the entire city, rather than
by wards, as formerly; to make the
commissioners subject to recall by
the people at any time; to give
the people a right to veto the com
missions legislation through the
referendum, and to supplement it
through the initiative.
.'In it's best development the
plan takes all party politics out of
municipal government. No party
name, emblem, or slogan can be
attached to any mans candidacy.
The office-seeker must run as a
citizen, not as a partisan, standing
on his own policies, not on a plat
form made by a convention that
can never hold him to accountability.
1t is ridding us Of the city boss,
who has intimate relationship to
state and national boss-ships. 1t is
making our cities cleaner, better,
more healthy both morally and phys
ically. 1t is mailing tins over a
vast lot of rat-holes into which we
have poured our city revenues. 1t
is teaching the people the value Of
public-service franchises, the need to
protect them, and the possibility Of
securing good public service at reas-
enable prices. It is reducing the
cost of living to the@denizens of the
towns, and giving better living

Ter for frequent Wettings at this
period Of its growth.
Rice is maturing rapidly and. the
work OF harvesting the crop will
soon be under way. Cutting and
threshing operations have already
been inaugurated in some portions
OF the parish, but the task will not
become general until next week
or the week after. The crop seems
to be in good shape and heavy
yield is anticipated.
The cotton crop is also fast an
preaching maturity, and although
there is comparatively little Of this
staple in the parish this year, what
there is of it is reported to be
doing nicely and the output will per-
haps be entirely satisfactory when
allowances are made for the diff
culties with which the crop has had
to- contend in the way Of Injurious
insects, lack of cultivation due to
heavy rains, and generally unfavor-
able growing conditions.

The new bale, which weighed $40
pounds and classed good middling,
was bid in by III. Leopold for the
account of JoVite eau, a weIl-knoWn:
exporter Of New Orleans.
The alley was crowded with cot

dow, to which he was assisted by
enthusiastic brokers.
In his opening talk about the new
bale, Mr.. Tessier referred to the
fact that it was the earliest bale.
OF Louisiana cotton on record. and
said that it was a forerunner of the
prosperity that was to come to New
Orleans from another large crop Of
cotton. The bidding started at fif-
teen cents per pound, and was
quickly carried up to seventeen
cents, at which price the bale was
knocked down to Mr.. Leopold.
The new bale was consigned to
Hyman, Hitler &c Co., prominent cot
ton factors, having been shipned
from Rayne, Acadia parish, by
jacques Well. The first new bale
Of Louisiana cotton last year was
received by the same firm and came
from the same place, but did not
appear In the New Orleans market
until Aug. 3.
In Cotton Exchange circles 1t is
reported that the Louisiana crop is
In splendid shape, having escaped,
for the most part, the ravages OF
the boil weevil. AS the prospects
are also good for the Mississippi
crop an optimistic feeling prevails
in cotton circles, and factors look
forward to one Of the busiest sea-
sons they have enjoyed in years.

The Housewife and the Fly.


Don't come into my parlor, said
the Housewife to the Fly;
There's a screen at every window,
and your entrance defy.
There are microbes in your footsteps
and a crust upon your head,
Which, if not microscopic, would Ill
our hearts with dread.
You carry germs of typhoid and
spread consumption's bane,
And our sanitary teachers paint your
crimes in language plain.
Don't come into my parlor:: and for
safety would pray,
If you walked into my dining-room
upon some sunny day.
There are seeds of vile distempers
hidden in your tiny wings,
And your many feet have Travelled
over nameless filthy things,
You're a menace to our safety, you
are powerful though small,
And the mischief you accomplish
would the braVest heart appall.
If YOU enter, I have poison all pre-.
pared for you to eat;
And paper spread to tang1e your
gern-laden wings and feet;
I will poison, trap or mash you II
you do not leave my door,
For our modern sanitation will en-.
dure your calls no more.
