CITIES NEED HOME RULE.

The stand taken by the local board
of education, against that provision of
state law which forbids it paying a
salary of more than $1,000 per year
to its clerk, appears to be a reasonable
one. AS the board points out a person
who is competent to perform the
multifarious and onerous duties in
connection with this position is worth
more money and will not assume such
responsibility for the salary that the
board is able to pay.
This is only another instance of the
mistakes that haev been made by leg
islatures of the past in authorizing
cities and their school boards to trans
act business under hard and fast
rules. AS matter of fact, cities only
sort of go through the form of govern
ing themselves. They can do this and
that but no more in almost every
field of municipal activity. Restrictive
legislation of one kind and another
stands in their way.
The same methods of procedure are
laid down for each of the cities in the
same class, although they may not
have anything in common except the
size of their populations. 1t is time
that these conditions of affairs were
rectifed. There should be a general
overhauling of the charters of the
cities of this state, so that something
like home rule will be accorded to
them. Their progress and develop
ment in a variety of ways is inter
fered with by restrictive legislation.
What might be good or desirable for
one town, might come far from filling
the bill in another. And all of the city
charters should be sufficiently elastic,
that each city can meet and handle in
an adequate fashion all of many and
varied problems that confront it.
These problems are different in every
| city.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

One Of the questions that is going to
disturb congress more or less, concerns
the reapportionment OF the country
into congressional districts in accord
ance with the 1910 census returns. Sew
eral plans are being projected, but the
one that seems to have the most favor
with the members provides for tncreas
ing the present number of congress
sional districts by A. This would leave
the representation in the house on the
same basis towards the population as
has prevailed of late years. Not much
of hunt is reQui to find out why
this plan is popular. It will leave the
house representation of each state just
where it now is, or increase it as in
creases have been made in the popu-
lation, and no present member of con-
gress will lose his job unless his folks
at home give it to some one else. I'm
der any other plan, for instance, the
keeping of the number of members of
the house at its present figure, but in
creaSing the basis of population on
which the representation is fixed, some
of the states. which did not do very
well in the matter of increasing their
population, would have their represen-
tation decreased. And any plan which
seeks to materially decrease the num-
Der of members, would naturally cut
down the representation of many
states.
Under present conditions, with a
membership of 1872, the house Of repre-
sentatives is a most unwieldly body.
Even the Republican insurgents who
amended the rules in accord with their
al, hot
And they are now talking of amending
their amendments back almost to the
way the rules stood before, in order
that the transaction of business may
be facilitated. And imagine the chaotic
condition of affairs that would be al
most sure to be developed If the size
of the house were increased.
OF course no state feels very friend
ly to any plan which may reduce it's
representation in congress. But il
would seem that if such a reduction
were made honestly, each state would
have fair proportion of representa-
ton. A state that now has eight mem
bers, might only be entitled to five or
six, under such a plan, but if all the
states were reduced in a proportionate
fashion, every state would have the
same proportionate representation that
it now has, even if it's delegation were
not so numerically strong.
This would appear to be the better
way out of the dilemma. Certainly
congress ought to hesitate over making
the house of representatives more I'M
wieldly institution than it now is. 1t
seems to have just about reached the
limit in this particular

Cockney as a Dialect.

The efforts of the London county
council to drive out the Cockney speech
from the schools of the English metro
polls hardly needed the opposition CIV
en- in a book recently issued in defense
of the dialect. This book, which is,
curiously enough, the work of a man
named Mackenzie MacBride. contends
that Cockney is no modern dialect, but
that it possesses an ancient and hon.
orable lineage running back nearly L.
900 wears.
When one born within sound of Bow
Bells says 'tthet'' for that "benk" for
"bank,'' and 'bylyffe'' for ''bailiff," he
is using no modern corruption Of the
English language. but the pronuncia-
ton Of those words which has obtained
not only in London. but in Kent and
Surrey for hundreds of years. More
over, in ancient times the words were
spelled as the Cockney now sounds
them. - 5s3p---
So, too, are ''abaht" and "ahtside''
justified for about and outside 'ac-
cording to Mr.. MacBride. He says that
many LondonerS have been laughed
out of these ancient recommendations,
and he advises them not to change
their speech because of outside preju-
dices against it. Certainly Cockney
would seem to be a dialect or it would
not have survived for so many CEN
turtles in the midst of speech which
calls itself more cultured. 1t is a Curl
Gus fact that in the Bahama Islands,
which were settled more than 200 years
ago by Londoners, the Cockney dialect
is as strong as in Chicago
