Sauce for the Goose.

If we had a law compelling one
ofiiceholder to resign before he could
oppose another for his office it is safe
to say that Jones and Glass would not
now be saying so many ugly things to
get Martin and Swansons places in
the Senate.-GordonSvi Gazette.
Such a law might restrain the de-
sire TO step up higher on the part of
public servants, for to many persons
there is truth in the adage that "A
bird in the hand is worth two in the
BUSH" But why should Messrs. Jones
and Glass be singled out as pegs on
which to hang the suggestion of such
an enactment? We do not recall a
single instance where a placeman of
the Organization" tribe has surren-
dered the plum in possession before
reaching out for fatter one. Senator
Swanson himself held on to his seat
in the House of Representatives pend
ing the decision of both his contests
for the goVernorship. Where is the
justice in criticising Glass for follow
ing the precedent set by his competi-
tor? Senator Martin stepped directly
from private life into the Senate
mirabile dictu--and has not yet as
PRED to any more exalted position.
therefore he is without a record in
the respect under consideration; but

STILL HOPE To
AVOID STRIKE
Voting Has Not Been Completed.
Another Proposition From
the COMPANY.

r c H NJ o ND, VA.-Special.-
A report gained currency today to
the effect that q strike had already
been declared in some of the shops OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway,
but this is not correct. The men have
not yet completed their voting on the
acceptance or rejection of the propo-
sition of the company, and will not do
so before the end of the week. The
vote has to be taken at every point,
and no ballot can be closed until all
the men have been allowed q chance
TO express their views.
The Chesapeake and Ohio has sub
mitted a new proposition to the men,
and this will have to be considered be-
fore a strike is ordered. The propo-
SitiOn is that the Chesapeake and Ohio
Will promise to carry into execution
and pay the same rate that will be
paid by the Norfolk and Western
Railroad. and the same questions are
being considered by the same classes
Of employees on that line at this time.
What the outcome of that vote will be
is not yet known, and il is not known.
of course, what the Chesapeake ana
Ohio employees would do after the
matter has been referred to them for
their decision.
1t is still hoped that the matter will
be adjusted to the satisfaction Of all
concerned, for neither side is willing
to dissolve the relations which have so
long been observed on the system. The
Chesapeake and Ohio has one Of the
finest organizations of shopmen to be
found in the country.

The BurgInr aud You.

There is not a morning that you do
not find in your morning paper some
thing about somebody's house or store
somewhere being robbed. IF you have
had no personal experience with burg
lars, it generally is only because your
turn hasn't come yet Two hundred
and fifty thousand burglars working
365 nights in the year, and sometimes
one burglar robbing three or four
houses in a single night-there isn't
much of the United States they leave
uncovered or many kinds of houses
they overlook. 1t is a mighty poor
sort of a home in which a discriminat-
ing burglar cannot find something
worth stealing.
To guard against burglars one ought
to know something about the kinds
Of burglars there are and the methods
by which they work. IT really is sur
prising what varieties there are. The
most dangerous of them, in all proba-
bility, is the yeggman, or Safeblower.
From him the ordinary householder
has little to fear. He ordinarily is a
of a gang which devotes its
attention almost wholly to blowing
open safes OF country banks, stores
and postoffices.
1t is the 'hobo- burglar" that most
Of us have to fear. He, too, Is one OF

WHAT THE SOUTH is DOING
FOR COMMISSION GOVERNMENT
RICHMOND, VA, Special


Because of the fact that Richmond.
Va, has been chosen as the place of
the National Municipal Leagues year
ly meeting next November, it is in
teresting TO note that one of the lead
ing municipal problems to which the
league has devoted much attention
had its origin in the South. This is
the commission form of government.
nrst practically applied in Galveston
and subsequently adopted, in one
form or another, in nearly a hundred
and fifty cities.
OF the fifteen States now having
general laws giving to the cities the
authority to adopt commission gov
ernment three are SOuthern-South
Carolina, Mississippi and Alabama.
These fifteen States do not include
California, Colorado, Oregon, Michi-
gan, Missouri, Oklahoma and Wash
ington, which are known as "'home
rule" commonwealth, allowing the
cities to frame their own charters
Virginia, among the Southern
States, is taking a leading part in the
movement for new systems Of mu-
nicipal government, the object being
direct rule by the people in the va
rlous communities. The campaign in
the "old Dominion is being conduct
ed by the League of Virginia Munich
palities, a most progressive organiza-
ton. It's aim, as set forth by resolu-
ton, is ito give to the whole State
of Virginia. counties as well as cities
tile advantage of the system of pure
democracy" and the commission
form of government was endorsed.
In Alabama the Legislature has
passed an act which establishes COM
mission government in Birmingham
and Montgomery, cities having more
than 100000 population. Birming-
ham is to have a commission of three
members, and Montgomery one of
five, the salary to be $1,000. Although
the first commissioners were appoint
ed by the Governor, their Successors
will be elected by the people.
