To Be Governed
BY Commission Government
Committee Composed of Three Mayors,
Officers OF Chamber of Commerce and
Business Men Have Agreed on Plan.

There was meeting at the New
Kennesaw House on Wednesday night
of the joint committe of representa-
tives of the various so-called political
factions of Marietta and members of
the Chamber of Commerce---eighteen
in all---when it was formally ana
unanimously agreed by this large com
mittee that Marietta should adopt
commission government.
There were present as members of
this committee, ex-Mayors e. p.
Dobbs, q. H. Clay, ana Mayor J. ].
Black, so you may understand that
this is really unanimous representa-
ton of the past three City admins
trations and the Chamber of Com
merce, as President j. T. Anderson
and Vice-president M. L. McNeel.
were also present.
This committee has been working
for several weeks in an effort to get
at a plan for the City government
that would eliminate the factional-
ism which has hindered the progress
of Marietta. The business men and
citizens are tired of seeing the city
stand still in growth of population
and business and grow deeper and
deeper in debt with each succeeding
year.
This meeting was held too late for
the publication of the details of the
plans but there will be bill passed
by the legislature naming three com
missioners and these will be ratified
at an election held in place of the
regular Mayoralty election next fall.
Commission Government has work
ed so successfully wherexer ii has
been tried that those who have had
experience with the government of
Marietta now firmly believe it is the
solution of the problem of City gov
eminent, and that it will be to the
advantage of Marietta to adopt it.
Under he terms of the bill agreed
upon the present Mayor and Council
will continue in office until their
term expires and then the commission
ers will take office.
The bill which will be put through
the legislature next Summer was pre-
scented, read paragraph by paragraph
and adopted by paragraph at this
1t names the three commits
sioners and there is nothing left to
be done except for the people to get
out and vote for it next fall.
1t must be borne in mind that this
bill is not the product of any one man
or any one political party or faction
but is the combined BEST OF ALI
OF THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED AS.
MAYOR AND C0UNCILMEN TO-
GETHER WITH THE MEMBERS OF
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
AND BUSINESS MEN WHO WANT
TO SEE MARIETTA GO FORWARD.
MR.. CITIZEN, IT'S UP TO YOU!

PIrRLc H1TcnING POSTS.

Greenfield, Mass, is not as metropoli
tan as its city government supposed.
Some weeks ago hitching posts on its
main street were tabooed and removed.
1t was argued that Greenfield was too
large place to longer tolerate the
provincial hitching post Citizens, how
ever, must have shown the city fathers
a new light A Greenfield paper last
week said ut will be gratifying We
believe to a pretty large number of mer-
chants and people generally TO learn
that the hitching posts on Main street,
over which there has been considerable
controversy, are being put back. Posts
will be placed along both sides of Main
street. Bellows Falls Times.
Probably Greenfield knows what many
other communities have come to know
that a set of hitching posts is valuable
asset to community of size running
up into the tens of thousands of popu-
lation A hitching stand is an invita-
ton to outsiders from the country dis
tricts; yea, even more, it is a welcome
of the sort which is appreciated by the
occasional visitors, because it offers them
fairly secure place to tether their
horses while they go into the stores

to do their trading, To the dweller in
the city this appears like small affair
but really it is quite an important con-
sideration to those who drive teams into
the city. 1t is an accommodation that
appeals to them and il they are forced
to decide between two trading commu-
mites, one Of which offers public hitch
ing posts and the other doesn't, they
certainly will select the community
which gives them the accommodation
provided the chances to trade are any
where near equal in the two places.
Therefore, no city or village of the
size of Greenfield, or Bellows Falls or
Burlington or even larger places need
feel ashamed of what may appear to be
a country Institution, the public hitch
ing stand; but community having such
an accommodation should select some
place other than the main streets for
the purpose. We know of good many
communities that would find it to their
advantage to hurry up and place such
equipment at the disposal Of their pos
sible customers in the surrounding sec
tons.

Good Work of st. Adams Firemen
Holds Flames.

st. Adams, Sept. 1.-The south por-
tion of the paint shop of the Central
Vermont Railway company was destroy
I'd by fire about nine o'clock Saturday
night. The fire, which was discovered
BY the night Waterman, started in the
upholstery department in the second
story. The fire department responded
quickly and did excellent work but it
was impossible TO save that end of the
large building, though practically all OF
the contents of the lower story were re-
moved.
All efforts were successfully directed
toward saving the north end in which is
stored the paints, yarnishes, oils, gaso-
line and other storeroom articles. Had
the flames reached the storeroom, 1t
probably would have been impossible to
save the surrounding buildings of the
company's plant.
The burned building was wooden one
and stood on the south side of Lake
street, east of the railroad yard. 1t is
not known definitely how the fire start
ed but it is thought to have been due to
spontaneous combustion. There will be
no men thrown out Of employment as
the building will be rebuilt at once. The
loss had not been estimated by the
company but the property was well in
sured.

forms in this state and a sound system
of rural credits, approve his own pris-
on reforms and outline others sorely
needed. We say presumably because
Governor Foss was largely responsible
for the launching of real contest for
the Republican nomination. He has ad-
dressed Republican meetings and ex-
pressed the hope that the party would
show by its platform declarations that
it deserves a victory next November.
II the governor is merely hungry for
fourth cup of coffee; il he Is merely
playing the game in order to strength
en- himself as an independent in the race;
if he is at heart fearful that the Re
publieans will make use of his own po-
litical thunder, then he will follow the
leading OF some OF his political advis-
ers and throw his new fall hat into the
ring within a few days. But in that
event the governor cannot expect to be
regarded in any other light than as q
seeker after office, candidate for a
fourth cup of coffee, and his candidacy
need give no apprehension to any of the
regular nominees.
The only excuse Governor Foss can
nave LOT making an independent race
that would appeal to the rank and file
of the voters as valid is that his prin-
ciples have been rejected by all three
parties and that he cannot stand on any
one Of the three platforms adopted next
month. But how can he know this un-
til the platforms have been framed The
governor has the public guessing about
his political plans and viii doubtless

October date for fling independent pa
pers has passed Boston Transcript

Barre's celebration Of the national la
Dor holiday was in every way a credit
to the organization and the men having
it in charge, because the program for
the day contained elements which tend
ed to encourage serious consideration of
what the day means and also the ele-
ments which tended purely to the tenn
porarv amusement the participants.
Moreover, the celebration was attended
by what was probably a ord-breaking
crowd for celebrations Of this sort, and
the people found plenty that was in
structive and plenty that was entertain
ing. The address of S. HOLSTER Jackson
was direct appeal to labor and It mer-
its the careful consideration of all the
people whom he addressed, as well as
of the wider field of hearers whom the
address will reach through verbatim
publication in another column of The
Times to-day. Then, again, there was
such a wide diversity of sports and
amusements that the program could
scarcely fail to prove of interest. So
taken as a whole, the days program
was safe and sane" exemplification
of a satisfactory celebration.

The President on Mexico.

President Wilson's delayed address to
the Congress ON Mexico to-day is hope
full and friendly in tone and the world,
most of ali Mexico, should know now
that he speaks in the name Of the Amer
lean people. AL that the president said
the nation says and the nation viii back
up,
The mission of Mr.. lind has apparent
" failed. General Huerta has rejected
the proposals presented to him by the
presidents personal envoy. But now
that the Mexican people know in full
the nature of those proposals, now that
they have heard from the president,
speaking officially for his people, the
friendly purpose with which those pro-
posaIs were offered, there is yet hope
that perhaps-not tomorrow nor the
day after, but soon-they will realize
that the line of conduct suggested and
urged upon them by their nearest
FRIEND is after all the wisest, the only
certain guide to peace and order, to hap
piness and prosperity. This at least is
the presidents hope.
For the future President Wilson
makes it clear that the whole armed
force Of the nation or as many troops
as may be necessary, will be thrown
upon the border to enforce an abso-
lutte neutrality. Doubtless he realizes
that but for the violations of neutrality
on American soil conditions could never
have reached their present state in Mex
leo With all that the president so
felicitously says about the self-restraint
becoming a great nation in such crisis
we believe the sober thinking people of
this country agree, but they no less
heartily approve his avowed determine
tion to put an end to the wanton de-
struction of American life and property
across the border by holding those re-
sponsible for it strictly to account for
any future outrages. Failure II do that
will continue to encounter ann viii de-
serve severe criticism.
The presidents address isl timely and
in good taste. Now let * every word
be lived up to. Let the administration
lead along the line it has laid down.

CURRENT COMMENT
The outburst in the Canadian Court.

The 0utburst in the Canadian Court.
The Canadian department of justice is
naturally reluctant to make any official
expression of opinion in reference to
the extraordinary scene in Judge Glob-
ensky's court room following his refusal
to hear counsel representing the state
of New York in the Thaw case. The
New York counsel were equally un-
willing to comment upon the occurrence
At the afternoon session the judge him
self said he had been shocked. The
crowd in the court, however, seemed in
different to this.
Nor can any good end be served at
the moment by comment here. But the
reflection is obvious that once more has
IL been shown that the Thaw case irri-
tates and smirches it's surroundings
wherever it is dragged out again into
public attention. 1t seems to diffuse
fumes which poison the atmosphere of
any court and create something like a
temporary madness in general public
entiment--always easily confusedand
even works toward blurring the clear
sight OF greater intelligence than that
of the crowd 1t is an evil thing, and
its airing always stirs up trouble
Whatever formal result may follow
recent Incidents in this vulnerable case,
the instinct of all right-minded Ameri-
cans and Canadians alike must be to
dispose of it as soon as practicable

State Fair Will Be a Big Feature.

White River Junction, Sem Elm
terest in the firemen's tournament
which will take place ON Thursday, Sept
Is, during the holding of the seventh an
nnal Vermont state fair, is shown in

from Johnson, Montpelier, Barre, Yer.
gennes, Stowe, Randolph, two from
Winooski, Lebanon, Ashland and Man

several Massachusetts, companies are
contemplating entering.
A parade OF all the companies will
precede the running races and between
the heats of the horse races the hose
running races win take place.
Secretary Davis of the state fair COM
mission says that the list of entries in
all departments is larger than in any
previous season, this being the case, es-
pecially in the cattle department Cat
tie exhibits will be made from every
eastern state and several of the middle
western states will send large entries.
IT is the policy OF the commission to
make the first day of the fair as inn
portant as any Of the others, and on
Tuesday, Sept. l6, the opening day,
everything will be in readiness for the
visitors.
