 Almost all the best governed cities in the world he continued, sare on the other side of the water. Almost all the worst governed cities in the civilized world are in America and the thing that IS most taxing our political genius is making T decent finish where we made such q distinguished beginning.

We haven't | had time or we have let the contract to the wrong man, but whatever be inc cause We have not completed the tob in way that ought to be satisfactory to our pride
 The governor referred briefly to fac tory and labor conditions.
 We must take the heartIessness o;,t of industry he said, "before we can put the heart in the men who are on gagged in industry.

POINTERS ON COOKING FISH

Proper Taste to "sols."

One Of the most satisfactory ways
to make smelts both tasty and attrac-
tive Is to split the fish up the back,
take out the bone. remove the eyes OF
else cut off the heads, and then form
each fish into a ring. fastening the
head and tail together with a tooth
pick. Dip the fish into milk and then
into fresh bread crumbs and fry IN
deep fat Remove the toothpicks be-
fore serving and arrange the fish
around a mound cf potato.
Broiled smelts, with maitra d'hotel

as well as the usual lemon juice and

good size-dip each into melted but
