GEORGIA CITY
FOR COMMISSION
Savannah Elects Mayor on Platform
For Change in City
Operation.

Savannah, Ga. Jan. 16.-Savannah
Is In line for a commission, the first
city in this section. Mayor Tiedeman
went into office on this platform and
the coming assembly will have bill
to put the new plan into effect.
During the past few weeks, the
commission plan has made the fol-
lowing progress;
Beverly, Mass, adopted a one-board
government by vote of 1867 to 1861.
The new charter abolishes the pres
ent system of a council. A warm
fight was waged during which the
success of the new plan in the neigh
boring city of Haverhill was strong
argument
Mount Vernon, N. Y, citizens voted
for the second time to ask the legisla-
ture to adopt a commission charter
for their town.
Port Huron, Mich, adopted the COM
mission plan Nov. Z, by a large ma
jority. Another election will be held
and the officers chosen under the COM
mission form.
Ell Reno. Okla, adopted the COM
mission form of government by a vote
of about four to one.
Newport, KY, adopted it by a ma
jority of 200 votes
st. GATHERINGS Ont, has gone a
step further than most towns. 1t has
voted to abolish the city council, wa
ter commission and other municipal
offices and elect one salaried commits
sioner to attend to the whole business.
Enid, Okla, which has been under
a mayor and three commissioners
for more than year, testifies to the
efficiency of the plan. The city has
been rescued from a deplorable con-
dition and its affairs placed on bust
ness basis. Municipal warrants are
now good for their face value.
The victories of the commission
plan are increasing in number every
month and the plan bids fair to Re
the rule rather than the exception in
municipal. government before many
years.

JUVENILE BLOCKHEADS.
Stupid Boys Who Developed Into World
Famous Men.

There is quite long record of ia
nous men who in their boyhood were
regarded as fools and billiards. Sir
Walter Scott was called 'blockhead"
by his mother. The mother Of Brins-

the simplest elements. Her death
aroused him to activity and he became
q scholar, philosopher. poet, wit, states
man and orator. Dean Swift, the keen
est wit Of his age. was "plucked" at
Dublin university. Newton, Shake
speare. Michelangelo and Oliver Gold
smith all come in the category.
One day slatternly woman rushed
out Of little grocer's shop gripping
an unkempt boy by the ear, and as she
pulled him along she shouted to her
neighbor:
"My heart is fairly broke with that
brat, Tammy, and he is 30 stupid he
can learn nothin'v
That stupid brat Tammy became the
poet Tom Moore.

danger is in undertaking many

if worthy, be prosecuted to a finish,
or rejected if impractical or nnde-
