1he largest cities which have made the
experiment are Oakland, Cal, with
I5o.I74 inhabitants Memphis, Tenn,
with I3I,Io5, and Spokane, Wash, with
Io4,4o2. The commission plan has made
some headway in twenty-three of the
forty-six States. One of the evidences
of the substantial strength of the move
ment is that it has made its progress
quietly. No political party is behind it
In fact, the politicians generally oppose
it, as an invasion of their privileges
The plan is being tried on a small scale
in many scattered communities and its
merits and defects are being gauged by
people who have no interest in it except
as a means to better local government
Everybody will admit that we have still
much to learn IN the experimental science
of local self-government What IS
evident is that the old form of city
government, with mayor and one or
two legislative bodies, seems rapidly to
be passing away in this country, and
that responsible. boards are more and
more coming to be the favorite form of
government.

Fire Prevention.

Nowhere is the adage ~an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure"
more applicable than in dealing with the
risks of fire Often such loss may be
prevented at fraction of cost but there
is need of some authority to see that
preventive measures are adopted and
applied
Fire Commissioner Waldo, of New
York City, in his annual report, recon-
mends the establishment of bureau of
fire prevention This plan would bring
together related functions that now are
scattered, and the added cost probably
would be small compared with the saving
in fire losses. The bureau would in
clude division of auxiliary fire ap-
plianceS, to look after the maintenance of
FIRE escapes, automatic sprinklers, ex-
tlnguiShers, standpipes, tanks, pumps,
&c; a division of combustibles to regu-
late the manufacture, sale, use, storage,
and transportation of explosive and COM
bustible material; division of inspec-
ton, to keep watch over the observance
of regulations for preventing fires; a
bureau of violations, to see that proper
action is taken when violations are dis
covered, and the Office of fire mar
shal, whose duty it is to investigate fires
and ascertain whether the cause is
neglect or violation of legal require
ments.
In a certain degree these precaution-
ary measures are in force in the District
Under the regulations of the Commis-
sioners, constant inspections are made
of the cellars of business houses,
the storage of gasoline, and the fire
preventive equipment in hotels. This
work is done with considerable thor
oughncss. and undoubtedly has its effect
in reducing both the number of fires and
the loss through their occurrence. At
the same time the suggestion of Com
missioner Waldo has great weight and
should stimulate the District Commits
sioners and the fire department into per
fecting the present system Every step
that is taken toward diminishing the
possibility of fire is step in the right
direction

Federal Judges Salaries.

From the New Orleans Pcayune.
There is now a bill before Congress,
favorably reported by the Judiciary Com
mittee of the House OF Representatives,
providing better pay for Federal judges.
Considering their grave responsibilities
and the necessity of appointing men of
the highest legal attainments to the
various posts on the Federal bench, these
Judges receive less compensation than
most of the judges Of comparatively in
ferior courts in the principal States, and
infinitely less than judges of equal rank
receive in foreign countries. Even after
the passage of the proposed law, none of
the judges of the Federal courts will re-
ceive what might be considered an ade-
quate salary. The Chief Justice of the
United States, for instance, will get only
S17,5OO which is less than ordinary judges
of assizes get in England The Federal
judiciary is composed mainly Sof men of
great capacity and high legal attain
ments. who in the ordinary practice of
law would earn larger incomes than they
receive on the bench
The Washington herald., 1911-03-01
Protect Washington.

In view of the epidemic of diphtheria
which is now prevalent in Baltimore,
where sixteen city blocks are under
quarantine, it is important that the
authorities of the District should take
every precaution to protect the health of
this city. The disease first appeared in
Baltimore, in the Johns Hopkins Hos
pital, but it was not confined to that
institution. Another hospital has closed
its doors against visitors, in the hope OF
confning the infection; while the health
department has taken charge Of an entire
section of the city.
Under these circumstances our own
authorities cannot be too vigilant. There
are ample funds for the prevention of
contagious diseases, and no expenditure
which keeps the National Capital free
from the scourgc Of an epidemic will be
questioned 1t may be that Washington
is not in the slightest danger 1t may
be that the Baltimore authorities will see
TO It that infected persons are kept within
the boundaries of that city. At the same
time. the exercise Of caution in Wash
ington is justifabIc. and present vigilance
IS better than future regret

Just to keep perfectly quiet. saying never

There seemed to be all sorts of mysteri-
Gus manipulations. that for the life OF

to keep quiet and look on. For two years
never once opened my head-scarcely

of the older members-men who had
appeared to be running things in a mys-
terious way that I could not figure out
stopped at my desk, and one of them
said:

Popular Election of Senators.

When a proposition to elect Senator:
by the people fails in the United States
Senate by only four votes less than the
requisite two-thirds, and when it woulc
have been adopted save for an amend
ment which did not find favor in the
eyes Of Senators from Southern States
it may be said that the battle has beer
won 1t means that in the rear future
the movement to take the choice Of Sen
ators out of the hands of the legisla-
lures will be successful.
The effort to secure the election oi
Senators by the people is not of mush-
room growth. 1t began many years ago
One by one State legislatures appealed
to Congress to call a constitutional con-
vention for the purpose of changing the
present method. 1t has been almost &
quarter of a century since Mr.. Turpie
Of Indiana, raised his voice almost singly
and alone in the Senate chamber ir
favor of investing the voters with the
direct responsibility of Senatorial elec,
tons Time and time again the House
of Representatives has passed a pro-
posed amendment to the Constitution
only to see the Senate pigeonhole the
resolution. 1t is different now. The
temper of the Senate has changed. The
voice of the people is heard even within
the Senate doors.
1t is now only a question of shor
time when the Congressional enactment
will go forth to the States for ratihca'
ton as an amendment to the Constitu,
ton. The result is not in doubt Il
will be ratified, and then the Senator:
will come into the Senate chamber witt
commissions direct from the people
Will they be better, ADLER, more honest
more patriotic men than the long line
chosen by legislatures in the past? If thC
answer to this question is in the affirm
ative, it will demonstrate the wisdom
of the proposed change.
The Washington herald., 1911-03-01
Growth of Commission Government,

The growth of the municipal govern
ment by commission continues to a re-
markable degree The Short Ballot So
ciety, of New York City, has gathered
statistics showing that up to the middle
of February this plan had been adopted
by one hundred and fourteen cities. A
little over two months ago there were
ninety-six cities. The list now issued
does not include several other cities
which are preparing also to accept
a commission form of government No
municipality. in New York State has
tried the commission plan, because the
legislature has refused to sanction the
necessary charter. Buffalo has been
anxious to make the experiment, but
failed to secure permission. Mount Yer
non, Loclzport, and Saratoga Springs
also have been applicants for, authority
to join the list. Only in New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, and Vermont, in the East,
the old municipal order remains un-
disturbed
Most of the cities which have adopted
the plan have less than 5000 inhabitants.
