the season took place today when

The bride wore a beautiful creation
of silk net over white satin, while
the groom was dressed in the conyen-
tional black, Miss Cordia Gooch, of
Dallas, was bridesmaid and ]. Willard
McInturff acted as best man. The
wedding was especially interesting as

clans, Professor Charles o. Har-
grave, played the march.
Miss Jebo is the niece of Mr. and

tate broker, of Monnouth, Ore.
The happy couple left on the af-
ternoon train for Portland amid a
shower of rice, old shoes and pair
of tiny new ones.

1888, and the younger in 1910. Two
grandchildren are left to mourn their
irreparable loss.
Funeral arrangements will be post
poned pending the arrival of SON.
in-law, w. H, Stringer, business
man of San Francisco.
Mrs Knight leaves a host OF friends
in Salem who will mourn her death.
Her sweet and lovable disposition had
endeared her to all with whom she
came in contact in church and home
work. Rev. Mr.. Knight has been
minister in Salem and vicinity for
over so years and his wife had proved
loving and faithful helpmate In his
church work. To her bereaved hus-
band whose gentle minlstrations and
comforting presence has soothed the
bitter anguish in so many hearts
when death has invaded the home;
the deepest and tenderest sympathy
is extended in this, the saddest afflic-
ton that can befall humanity, the
loss of one around whom the heart
strings cling, She lived long, a
useful and a noble llfe--and surely
she is with God and the separation,
after all, will be measured by swift
wears.

HIS NEW CAR
BURNED IN
The WATER
NEW $4,000 FRANKLIN CAR OWNED
BY Z. W. POWERS, GOES IN THE
DITCH, OIL ON WATER CATCHES
FIRE AND CAR is BADLY
BURNED.

E. W. Powers, a prominent fruit
buyer was out Saturday night trying
out his new $1,000 air-cooler Franklin
car, when he went into the ditch on
the south side of Franklin street be-
tween the S. P. company tracks and
Capital street, in trying to dodge a
mudhole. A crowd gathered to see
the machine that lay over on the side
in about three feet of water. Young
Mr.. Powers and Silas Rich, of the U.
s. National bank, were riding in the
car, and all the occupants were
dumped out in the water. In about
half hour from some unknown
cause the car caught fire, and it was
damaged 10 the exetent of $500. 1t is
not known whether some bystander
lit match or whether the fire was
set by the batteries or from one Of
the lamps but it made a wonderful
illumination for awhile, and the own
er and everybody was helpless to
stop the flames. Mr.. Powers was out
getting signers for paving D street
with Ell Oso pavement, and says he
would be willing to burn several more
cars if he can get some streets paved
up where he lives. He had no insur-
ance.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 22.-That
the appointment of Francisco I. Ma
dero, Jr., as president of Mexico will
by no means restore peace to that
country was indicated here today by
the Los Angeles rebel junta, represen-
tative of the Mexican liberal party,
which is conducting the insurrection
in Lower California, Sonora, Sinaloa
and Southern Mexico, and which con-
trolls the army of Genera Figuerra,
which is reported encamped near
Mexico City.
After two weeks of debate in their
inner councils, members of the junta
today sent to the printers draft Of
manifesto appealing to all members
of the liberal party to keep up the
war, and to Socialists all over the
world to lend them assistance The
manifesto, in pamphlet form, will be
printed in several different languages
and distributed broadcast.
The manifesto reads. in part, as
follows.
"The Mexican revolution must go
on until 1t has won for the people
economic independence. Much blood
has been She'd much money spent; j.;
immense sacrifices have been made
1t would be lunacy to permit all this
to be wasted on mere change OF
presidents or cabinets.
From the first Madero's sole aim
has been political; the substitution
of his government for that of Diaz
Madero belongs to one of the veal
thiest of Mexico's families, which
owns approximately 100000 acres
of land. That very fact constitutes
him a member of the slave-holdine
class.
"There is no guarantee that under
Madero, or any of his supporters
the people of Mexico will be happier
or more prosperous than under Diaz
Madero has used for his own po
iltical advancement the following o
the Mexican liberal party. He ha'
transformed for the moment an eco
nomic revolution into political, al
legged reform crusade.
From the first the Mexican liberia
party's sole aim has been economic
the substitution of an economic lib
erty for slavery.
"The liberal party will not la
down it's arms until the natural re
sources of Mexico have been restore,
to the people for their free and equa
use."
The manifesto, among others,
signed by General Figerra.
Ricardo Flores Magon, junta pres
ident, said that it would affect all o
the revolutions in Southern Mexico
as well as those in every state O

Mexico bordering upon the Pacific
ocean. The liberal army, Magon said,
was about equal to that of Madero, if
anything, stronger. He said, how

selves with the liberal army.

GOVERNMENT oF DALLAS.

MIR WILLIAM E. CURTIS, the we'll known
n newspaper correspondent, describes in the
Washington Star the operation OF the commits
sion form Of city government which was adopted
by the city of Dallas, Texas, in 1907. There is
a Mayor and there are four commissioners, one in
charge OF the streets, water, sewerage and public
works; another in charge Of the finances and tax
alton; third in charge of the police fire depart
ment and the city courts; the fourth in charge Of
education and public institutions.
Acting together they form cabinet for the
Mayor, sort of Legislature for the enactment
of laws and regulations. They meet daily. One OF
the commissioners is a lawyer, the others are busi-
ness men, They act like a Board of Directors
of railway company with the Mayor as the gen.
era manager.
The Mayor receives a salary Of $4,000 a year.
The commissioners receive salaries of $4,000 each
yearly. They required to devote their entire
time to the business of the city Their subordi-
mates are all appointed by the Mayor, subject to
the approval of the commissioners as body. The
commissioners can create or abolish Offices at
pleasure
The merit system applies to ordinary employees
who are promoted for efficiency when vacancies
occur higher up. The Mayor has power Of re-
moval, subject TO the advice and consent Of the
commissioners. The Mayor and the commissioners
are chosen by the entire city regardless of ward
boundaries.
Inc commissioners nave autOCratic power TO
prepare and enforce such ordinances as they may
consider necessary and proper, and this can be
done at any meeting without public notice On
the other hand citizens have a right to advise and
propose regulations and ordinances and the Mayor
and the commissioners required to give pro-
per consideration TO such suggestions
If the Mayor and the commissioners refuse to
act favorably upon petitions, the citizens interest
ed have the right TO call for referendum vote
upon the application of thirty-fve per cent Of the
number of citizens who voted at the previous cleo
ton. There is seldom resort to the referendum
L. Q. Daniel, President Of the Dallas Chamber
of Commerce, is quoted by Mr. Curtis as approving
the Commission form of government as it has
operated in that city.
From the foregoing summary it is noted that
great over is entrusted with a few men, The
entire question resolves itself into securing capa-
bic men. We should think that for men to give
up their regular business and devote all their time
to the service of the city they would want more
than precarious grip on their Offices. The com
missioners. we should think would have to hold
their posts FOR a considerable period.
