Government by Commi.sion.

The Socialist National Convention,
after an exhaustive survey of the COM
mission form of government for cities,
finally has decided to leave the issue
at the indeterminate point where the
average citizen most probably drops it
The Socialists have had the matter in
hand for, more than two years, 6ve of
their ablest members having been ap-
pointed as a committee to investigate
the question and to recommend . party
policy. That committee, IN a lengthy
treatise, advised that the party take no
stand at this time, but leave the matter
to be determined in specific instances by
State or municipal organizations. This
report was adopted after a perfunctory
debate, but the committee was con-
tinued. The latter judicious course was
taken only after one of the delegates to
the national convention had warned his
comrades that there is more than one
form of government by commission, and
that it were foolish to attack an entire
system or any particular form until an
intelligent understanding had been
reached of what it actually meant
This is true enough There are at
present I5I commission governments
operating in twenty-one States, under
many different laws, and divergence of
necessity must be the result Still, there
is one significant fact that may have
some bearing on the general question,
though it has not yet been emphasized
1t is that the tendency toward estab-
fishing this sort of city government
seems to have somewhat abated. Cal
weston introduced the idea in 1901, but
no other city took it up until 1907,
when six more municipalities adopted
that plan; in 1908, seven; in 1909,
twenty-six; in 1910, sixty-one, this be-
ing the high-water mark of success,
since last year the addition numbered
only forty-nine But it must not be
overlooked that in 1909 four cities vot-
ed on the project, but rejected it; in
1910 nineteen; in.IoII, thirty-three.
Taking it all in alk it appears that
the question of loss or gain in the
recrudescence of bossism has not been
settled by the commission form, and,
like its first promulgators, the issue is
best left open.

story the committee cites the fact that
H. H KohIsazt, Col Roosevelt, and
other gentlemen to whom Mr. Funk
had told his story kept quiet about It

that the information had been impaired
in strict confidence and that II was told
the probers only after the witnesses had
been. summoned to Washington and
threatened with contempt proceedings
if they did not reveal their informant
And yet it was the new evidence dis
covered in Illinois which prompted the
Senate of that State to-ask that the case
be reopened in Washington This new
evidence seemed to bear out the charges
previously made that Lorimer's eIee-
ton had occurred under circumstances
Of extreme Generalization in the Hi
Lnois Legislature, and that the support
-giyen him by many Democratic mem-
bers had been due to their association
with a Jackpot" brotherhood, organ
lied to levy toll on legislation.
In the face Of all this the committee
reports that @we are convinced that no
vote was secured for him BY bribery"
Perhaps the special committee may
have acted according to its own sense
Of duty, but the great trouble with such
a finding is that the majority of the
people will refuse to believe it The
public agrees with what President Taft
wrote to Col. Roosevelt in January,
1911: q have read as much of the evil
denee as / could get at, and am con-
vinced that there was a mess and
mass of corruption upon which Lori
mer's election was founded that ought
to be stamped with the disapproval of
the Senate"
What the State of Illinois thought of
the verdict of last year was shown en-
phatically in the primary election of
last month. The committee has piled
up lot of legal teehniealities to clear
its skirts, but it can never hope to
make its present conclusions accept
able to the public at large.

WAGNER
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good ola siwash."

Regarding Wagner. America is divided
into two classes-those who admire him
for his harmonic originality and those
who worship him for his home runs
It will be q great shock 70 many Of the
latter class to learn that there are two
immortal wagners and that we propose
to tell OF Richard and not OF Hans
Wilhelm Richard Wagner was born in
Leipzig. May p. 1913. and was about 1O2
per cent German in family and feeling
II broke out in him early In ife in the
shape OF an overture which he produced
at the age OF twelve. At twenty-one.
he was conducting a forty fiddle power
orchestra and was writing scores which
caused the oldest and most experienced
flute players to lay down their weapons
and exclaim: ''Donnerwetter und blit-
zen, was Is los nit ihnen7'
In a few years more, Wagner was so
far advanced in music that he did not
express merely love and sorrow in notes.

hauser," and after Il was produced the
audience sat dazed and solemn for some
time. picking strange harmonies out OF
their ears and examining them with
much doubt Wagner was an insurgent
in music, politics. love and poetry. and
after he had infuriated all the musical
standpattars by writing pieces which
made the most celebrated prima donnas

against the government and was elected
from Germany with great emphasis In

For many years afterward Wagner
lived in Paris and produced his great
operas for the French. who cheerfuily
got up riot after riot in opposition to
the diminished seventh and other musical
heresies. When we realize how freely
patriotic the French are regarding mu-
sical styls. and how patiently they bear
up under so cent beef and a tax on salt.
we begin TO realize what Is the matter

ner remained in Paris twenty years.

The Baseball Courtahip.
Roman Law ana Floods.

From the Kansas City Star.
The legal system OF the State of Louis
lana is based upon the Roman civil law.
That lis because France colonized Il and
not England. The fact is recalled In
cropping ignorantly to explain why New
Orleans and Baton Rouge and other
Louisiana cities are able TO go ahead
with food protection work and not be
enjoined or sued for damages.
Perhaps the difference between the civil
law and the common law has nothing TO
do with IT, Perhaps the temper OF the
Louisiana colonels accounts for Il. Per-
haps the people Of that State simply
would not stand injunctions endangering
life and public welfare. Selfish private
interests may know that a suit for dam
ages. alleging that food protection is an
injury. would result simply in getting
stuck for the. costs.
But whatever the reason or reasons, the
remarkable fact for the Kaw Valley peo-
pie TO marvel over II that, facing a flood

Wagner's music was not understood
while he lived. and many people were
severely Jared while trying to follow
the melody which wandered in among
countless modulations and crescendos.
His music consists OF a theme indefinite
