CURRENT
PRESS COMMENT
county Commission Goyernmcnt

Because of the inactivity of the
good citizenship of certain communi-
ties under the commission form of
government, the failure Of the new
system to realize ~the expectations of
its supporters has been marked in two
or three instances. But, speaking
generally, commission government has
succeeded despite the apathy of those
who should be most alert In its behalf.
1t is true. as this newspaper has fire.
quently pointed out, that commission
government as a mere form accom-
plishes little; it does no more than af-
ford an opportunity for improvement
in local government; the civic pride
and spirit of the community adopting
it must do the rest. 1t is absurd to
expect the commission form to do
more for the people than the old form
if the people, after adopting it and
setting 1t in motion, turn their backs
upon it and expect it to work auto
matically.
But a sufficient answer to the false
assertion that commission government
is a failure Is to be found in the fact
that in New Jersey, where many mu-
inequalities have now adopted it,
twelve counties have now adopted it.
These counties have population OF
2,0S0654 out of total population in
the state of 2,53T,167. Hudson county
is the latest to come in The nine
counties still under the old form of
government have altogether a popu-
lation equal only to one of those
Essex-under commission rule. In
other words, four fifths of all the peo-
pie of New Jersey are now living un-
der the new system, and the system is
being extended constantly.
Kansas, also, has a number of COM
munities. great and small, under
municipal commission government.
Recently upon the recommendation
of the business men of Kansas City
(Kan.), Arkansas City (Kan.) Hutch
inson and other cities. the Kansas De-
velopment association at it's meeting
in Larned adopted the following:
Resolved, That whereas the COM
mission form OF government for cities
has been such a marked success, and
whereas. the same form of govern
ment can be successfully used in
county affairs, this association favors
such legislation as will enable the
cities of the first class to consolidate
the city and county under one govern
ment.1
There could hardly be stronger in
dorsement Of commission government
than this. 1t means that in COM
munities where the system has been
given a fair trial 1t is working out to
the entire satisfaction of the people.
And 1T is directly in line with progress.

The idea of applying the commits
ties is ably presented in an Inter-
view from j. c. Boyle. which is
printed elsewhere in this issue. Ii
seems to be a plan to organize the
county government on an efficiency

The positions now independent
would be made subordinate to III
commission and the business of the
several offices directed from this CEN
trail source. The law with the chang e.
made would permit the employment
of high class men who would give
ali their time to the work of admin
istration and the merely Clerical
work for which the county is now
paying big salaries could be done
for less money. The commissioners
would be given departments ns ir

as a unit in the consideration oe the
business of the county centralizing 1t
and making it possible to place

The Duty of the Churches

In his annual address to the con-
vention Bishop Lines said many
things which commanded the closest
attention of his listeners, and sounded,
as he always does, that note of lead
ership which belongs to the pulpit,
but which is silent in so many pulpits.
He warned his hearers against the in
discriminate attacks now being made
on socialism, and the confusion of
ideas which prevails in regard to It,
good many people are joining in
the cry against socialism who know
very little about it. No such move
ment can have gained it's strength
and hold upon many people without
expressing some need and some truth
which right minded men are bound to
recognize. 1t Is means which a
great many people in the harder plac-
es of life are using in their contention
against privilege, and the wise course
Is for those who bear the Christian
name to try to understand the move
ment, and to get into as friendly a
relation as possible with those who
are finding in socialism their religion.
There are great abuses from which
the weakest suffer most in our COM
munities, and the church is unfaithful
to her trust if she does not cry out
against them and demand that the
conditions of life be made better. If
men and women in our churches feel
not the ills which come through tene-
ment-houses, child labor, long work.

cation of saloons, unclean streets,

those who preach in Christ's name re-
fer to these things, let them give up
their ease and correct the abuses, and
make it no longer necessary to present
these subjects in the pulpit.--Outlook.

The California women have come
forward with concrete plan for
lowering the high cost of living
While others have been investigating
how it happened the members of the
Friday Morning club in Los Angeles
have resolved to get behind the plan
of one of their number and make a
statewide campaign for the applica-
ton for the principle. The central
idea of this plan is to create a state
produce commission and establish
public markets in every city and town
under the supervision of this COM
mittee. The market places would be
open to farmers and the consumers
would have access to make direct
purchases. Petitions are now being
circulated to initiate the state produce
commission law. 1t may be here as
in the matter of other progressive
movements that California has taken
the lead and will point the way to
the elimination of some of the evils
of the present system of distribution

The world is growing richer by the
utilization of it's by-products in mil
lions of dollars annually and the saw
ings shown only indicate what
enormous waste the past centuries
have to answer for. In one smelter
in California the by-product saved
fsor, the burning of wood In the
process of making charcoal Is
measured by the carloads of pitch
tar, acetic acid and wood alcohol
The packers testified in the recent
trials of the beef trust that they owed
more of their profits to the utilization
of the by-products than to any other
of their processes. And the enormous
wealth developed in any of the manu-
featuring industries today is due il
great measure to the utilization OF
by-products that were formerly q
pure economic loss.

BITTEREsT CONTEST IN HISTORY

The republican national convention,
which convenes in Chicago today, will
precipitate the bitterest fight in the
history of national politics. On the
morning Of the day of opening the
convention not one of the more than
a thousand delegates that will sit as
representatives of the people in that
convention can tell what the day will
bring forth. BY one means or another
men formerly friends have their pas
sions raised to fighting pitch, and
the war precpitated today will be all
the worse because it is fratricidal.
The fight today will be precipitated
by a movement to control the national
convention by forces that are prac-
tically equal in strength and the, tenn
per of these contending forces has been
wrought upon for the past week by
claims and counterclaims charging
fraud" lack of common honesty,
robbery" ''bribery,' ''thievery" and
like terms, the list of which has hard
IL an end The truth or falsity OF
these accusations has nothing to do
with the decision that will be reached,
for apparently the contestants are
past the point where they will listen
to reason.
There is hope that the results with
be reached along parliamentary lines,
but there is a fear that 1t will not be,
and the precipitation of the conflict
comes with both lines standing taut
and ready to meet the contest on any
grounds. In, the hours preceding the
convention thes most able political
Eeneralshipi in the nation has been
employed to plan the winning of con-
troll through a strictly parliamentary
movement well backed by party pre-
3cedent, that is wholly within the
usages of parliamentary practice.
Hot-headed partisans have been
talking for, publication and its conse-
quent effect upon the weak and
wavering delegates, but. 1t is fair "
presume that really strong and able
leaders on both sides are not plan
ming to precipitate any rashness. A
rough-hou convention would so far
discredit the republican party as to
add chaos to the present confusion.
1t is hard to believe that men of sober
Judgment would deliberately plan cun-
troll by revolutionary tactics, knowing
that a nomination secured by this
means would be worse than useless.
Quick tempered men may have
their passions stirred to the breaking
point, but it remains to be seen
whether in the end they are not con-
troled by reason rather than By
prejudice and partisanship. The out
look is not very encouraging except in
the belief that among this number OF
( Representative American citizens con-
4 troll of the situation will be in the
hands OF those sober minded enough
to uphold the dignity of the great
national party whose representatives
they are.

CUMMINS AS A COMPROMISE
CANDIDATE

The fact that Hughes has declined
to become a candidate in case a dark
horse is needed has encouraged the
friends of Cummins to boost harder
for his nomination and demonstra
ton is being planned for his benefit
as a counter attraction to the one
planned for Colonel Roosevelt. 1t
would seem, too, that the Cummins
movement is we'll conceived, for il
Taft is not to be the nominee then
some concession must be made to the
progressive wing of the party both in
the way of choosing a candidate and
in the framing of the platform.
If Taft is defeated it will be a VIC
tory for the progressive movement
and the compromise candidate will be
taken from the most conservative Of
the porgressives because compro-
mise will presume an attempt to har-
monte the two wings of the party.
and Cummins occupies very strong
position. Iowa has not gone to the
extremes that the ultra-progressives
are encouraging, occupies a strong
middle ground just now very advan-
tageous for Senator Cummins If 9
third choice candidate is to be made
the nominee of the convention.
