Let me look into your eyes. dear friend.
To read therein my souls quick fate:
Let me but hear you speak the words oh Sir,
That will redeem. before it is to late:
Grasp again my hand within your generous PALM
That may ever after know forgiveness's balm.
For I. grievous sinner am bowed low.
AS before the cross's crucifxion.
Heart and mind of me supp1icants.
Crying aloud surcease from affection.
And thou. Of, mighty ones. thy righteous wrath.
Hold higher yet above my head.
And suffer me as thou hast been
By love. to be yet onward led.

Commercial Form

Paper Read Before the Chautduq,,a Circle:
Mnnicinal government has ALWAYS
been 4 vital Question and from 4

" important. as 1t continuaIIy
speaks to him through his pocket

that his particular city should be-

for graft and corruption The COM
mission form of government is at
present commanding considerable
attention and is being adopted by
various cities throughout the
country. The birth of the commits
sion plan came just after the Gal
weston food and if it we're not for
the wreckage of that black time at
least one hundred and ten American
cities would not be irving out the
new plan of government by COM
mittees Of citizens. Few radical
issues in history have taken hold SO
generally When Galveston first

anarchism went M. bnt in spite Of
much criticism and admissions Of
failure in some cases. the following

~ ICp 4MOlHcS dHu Wlth lne lnlGI8-
tive, referendum and recall ii city
government, reformers see the re-
demption Of American cities from
the stain of shameless graft and COR
ruption which has made them The
scorn Of all the world. Gov. Wood
row Wilson, of New Jersey, an
.avowed candidate for the democrat
ic nomination for President in 1919,
has taken as one of his campaign is-
sues. The Commission Form Of
Government and with such men as
he at the helm the plan is al least
assured of good advertisements.
Several leading newspapers have
recently been throwing mud at the
new plan and one popular weekly
recently contained an article about
politicians in general which / must
admit is true to quite an extent.
The article is as follows:
Trenton, N. j., has adopted by
popular vote the commissions form
ofgovernment. If it's people expect
ed ideal conditions to follow and to
have the offices seek the men, they
were suddenly and rudely awakened
from their dream. Three days after
the people voted that they desired
government by commission, seventy
five prominent citizens had ANNOUNCE
ed themselves as candidates for the
five commissionerships to be filled
by election. Others have since had
themselves mentioned. New laws
and new forms cannot change Old
human nature. The laws under
which the commission form Of mu-
nicipal government is carried ON
may be ideally perfect, but the men
who are likely to be called to carry
out these laws are the same as have
served under the old city charters.
The truth is that bad laws admins
tered by good men will probably
produce better results than good
laws carried out by bad men. The
thing to do is to improve our men
rather than the laws"
In conclusion / will say that any
kind of government will never give
satisfaction to all. and if something
can be found that will be satisfac-
tory to the majority we ought to be
contented.
From recent newspaper accounts
it is quite evident that we may ex-
pect in the near future to be gov
erned by band Of commissioner
cites.

Somewhere between the Iceberg

Iseen Brigand leyies toll Of half the

In these sarcastic lines The Bri-
gand" is presumed to be the middle
Imam, upon whom is laid the blame
of the high prices Of the present
day. The ddleman however is
mot alone to blame. He is but a
component part Of . wasteful system
lot distribution. Iii the final analy-
sis. waste will be found no small fac
tor IN the cause Of high prices.
Waste is anything thrown away,
lying unused Or unproductive, and
| in its many forms effect in tnrn
the World, the Nation and the Indi-
Il
vidual. Probably the most grieyi-
Ious world wide waste is the destruc-
Ition Of life and property BY war,
and the maintenance, during times Of
peace, Of large armies and navies,
as sort Of insurance against war.
To the vast expenditure Of money
necessary to the upkeep Of these
forces must be added the time was
ted BY the soldiers and sailors, sup
ported by the government.
These men are non producer
consequently are 4 heavy overhead
charge on the labor Of civilians.
When we have an International
Arbitration Agreement, each coun-
try will be insured against war at a
great saving over present methods,
this waste will be eliminated and
much labor will be thrown into pro-
ductive channels which will reduce
a needless tax and lessen the burden
of every human being. When such
action is adopted it will be one of
the greatest steps ever taken by the
world toward prosperity and pro-
gress.
I Our national waste is proverbial,
but much has been done in the past
ten years to overcome it. Through
National irrigation projects much
| waste land has been reclaimed in
the dry region, and been made pro-
ductive. So much wealth has been
created by intelligent efforts along
these lines, that such work is bound
to continue and increase. Every
where dry land will be brought un-
! der water, swamp lands drained,
and other waste lands be made fruit
full.
In its conservation policy the Ma
tion is doing what is possible to pre-
vent further waste of our National
resources. The prevention Of forest
fires, the protection Of water sheds,
is all along lines of proper economy.
This work is in its infancy and
much more will be accomplished
when the government is recognized
for what it is the greatest Of all
businesses and the people give re-
mnneration for good management
along the liberal lines Of private
business.
Graft and other waste will be
brought to a minimum when our
government is scientifically man
aged by experts paid in proportion
to the results they obtain with the
least waste and expense.
The loss to this country by waste
full methods Of farming can never be
calculated and worn ont farms in
some sections bear silent testimony
to this terrible waste. Happily.
