her tier upon tier of brilliantIy
painted white and gilt cabins, the
finest barge of emperor or king ever
by man devised, or by artist imagin-
ed, was thing for joke and ridicule.
The craft was at once unique and
efficient and in magnificence OF APP
pointment, wealth and beauty OF
lines and in grandeur of imperial
tread, unrivalled by the world.
Feather-topped smoke stacks, black
and lofty, rose amid palace-piles
OF cabin, ornate and white and gilt
and grand, while chandeliers of cut
glass with myriad glittering pen
dants illuminated the vast and rich
saloons. These ships were the art
inflorescence of the Middle West, the
lily of commerce, the sole and only
art-fower Of its magnificence. BY
day these immense packets pushed
up and down the great national
highway, moving pictures OF Inter-
est and beauty; and at night, alight
and alive with energy and fire. their
display redoubled in the water. they
became floating palaces of flashing
lights, more spectacular than the,
,rhs OF heaven.
The names of the unknown poet
!rtists who devised the fair proper
ions of this marine architecture are
ost forever, but traces of its art are
I'LL preserved in graceful roof

Some had their own boat songs.

The Buckeyes time is most as good

But finally the railroads cut the

largely a past reality and present

FINGERS ARE LESS SKILLED
English Doctor Urges Men and Wom-
on to Acquire Manual Skill to
Stimulate Mentality.

London.-Business men and women
should use their hands in every pos
sible way If they want to increase the
quickness and adaptability of their
brains, according to the latest idea of
q well-known London doctor. He
says:
"Tie knots, sew, do fretwork, learn
to make some of your own clothes.
prepare and cook all your food, re-
pair your boots and shoes, dig and
plant your garden-in fact, do any
thing and everything that calls for
manual skill If you want to have an
active, resourceful and versatile brain.
"The business man whose work de-
pends on keen, quickly-working
brain must use his fingers constantly
If he wants to have these assets in
full. He must, speaking literally, turn
his hands to everything, and be capa-
BILE of constructing almost anything
with his fingers.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1911-09-07

"The truth of this statement lies
in the fact that in every manual act
the hand is directed by the brain.
again, every act reacts back upon
the brain, strengthening and stimu-
lating 1t, which is the only sure
method of keeping that organ in keen,
efficient working order.
"That our fingers are gradually be-
coming less skilled is due to the nu-
merous mechanical appliances which
now carry out the various processes
formerly done by hand.
"This state of affairs, since it stunts
the powers Of the fingers, also stunts
the brain. The worker does his work
mechanically, unthinkingly, and grad.
ually his brain grows torpid and i'm.
paired"

AUTOMOBILE NOISE.

Cannot something be done with
the noisy automobiles that have be-
come such a nuisance In cities and
towns? At every session OF the
legislature there is a great deal of
talk about the noisy powerboat, in
sisting that some action should be
taken to compel the owners of these
boats to carry mufflers. 1t is de-
clared, and with reason, that life
along almost any waterfront has be-
come unbearabIe because of the rack
ct made by the exhaust. The agita-
ton against the powerboat has be-
come so great that there has been
much reform in this particular and
boats are not making anywhere near
the noise they used to.
But as the powerboat has improv-
ed, the automobile has become worse.
Just as practically all the motor
boats formerly ran without "cut-
OFFS" so practically all the automo-
biles had them and used them. To-
day, however, the tendency is to let
the machines run wide open, and,
with the foot control of gasoline, the
noise is ~deafening. There is not a
grade within the city limits that can
not be taken by any automobile with
the muffler d~eadening all the sound.
There Is absolutely no reason for
turning our streets into what sounds
like a railroad yard. Autoists should
have some regard for the resi-
dents of a city and those who like
to sit On their porches during a
summer afternoon and evening. If
the nuisance cannot be stopped any
other way, a law should be passed
compelling autoists to use their muf-
fler in all settled communities. The
powerboat annoys only those along
the water. The automobile can
make itself a nuisance everywhere.

COMMISSION RULE REJECTED

COMMISSION RULE REJECTED.
The defeat of commission govern
ment in both Hoboken and New
Brunswick yesterday was not unex-
pected, Both cities are dominated
largely by machine politicians, which,
regardless of party. joined forces to
defeat the change. The usual meth
DDS of machine politics were employ
ed in both places. In Hoboken re
p~eaters from New York were arrest
ed, and in New Brunswick the Gus
tomary fist fights took place and the
men who stood for reform and want
ed a fair election had to appeal to
the court several times during the
dcy to get justice.
But even without the frauds, the
returns would indicate that the peo-
pie are not yet ready for the change.
1t was not so much those who voted
against the proposition as it was
those who did not vote at all. The
Indifferent citizen must be aroused
to his duty before victory can be
looked for. In the meantime the
nan who refuses to go to the polls
and vote cannot complain of the kind
OF government he is now getting.
Commission government is some
thing entirely new in this section of
the country. In the first place, a
city government must be thoroughly
corrupt in order to arouse the peo-
pie sufficiently to desire a change.
Secondly, the people must be con-
vinced that the change will be an
improvement over the system now
in vogue. They do not want to
jump from the frying pan into the
fire. While government by commits
sion has worked wonders for such
cities as Galveston, Texas, Des
Moines, Iowa, and many other west
ern municipalities, these places are
too far away for the average citi-
zen Of eastern cities to become thor
oughly familiar with them.
New Jersey is soon to have a test
of the commission government with
In her own borders, however. The
citizens of Trenton, by an over
whelming majority, voted for the
change and the election of a commits
sion of five men to govern that city
will take place in August. The man
agement of municipal affairs in Tren-
ton will be watched with interest
throughout the state and on the sue
cess or failure of the commission
there will depend the further adop-
ton of the plan throughout the rest
of the state.

Coles also bestowed a portion of the

with the Boomers, for they certain

Chautauqua Circle ends next Sun
day. The Circles outlook for the
coming year is very bright, indeed,
and it is certain that much will be
accomplished by its members along
the regular lines of study. A num-
Der of the old members have de-
parted to other, and we hope better
fields during the last three months,
and the men selected by the Circle
officers to fill these vacancies, have
one and all proved their capability
for membership, by their well-writ-
ten and intelligent papers, which
have, from time to time appeared
in The Mirror columns. Those of
the old members who still remain
are requested to attend the opening
meeting, and lend their aid toward
launching the Circle forth into an
other successful year.
