SYSTEMS.

Our friends in Fargo have adopted
the commission form Of government
and commissioners are soon to be
chosen to take charge of admins
tration Of affairs. Their effort to in1-
prove matters by a. change in the form
If government will he watched with
interest. The commission form is
simpler ia many respects than the old
der council form. The members OF
the commission are elected at large,
so that every citizen has a direct voice
in the selection of every member of
the city government. whereas under
the council form each citizen has a
voice only in the selection OF the MEM
hers of the council from his own ward.
though all members Of that body have
a share in determining what action
shall he taken on the various subjects
which affect the rate of taxation which
shall be levied on his property and
the progress and development Of each
part Of the city. Students Of muniei-
nal government are generally agreed
that the commission form is the bet
ter Of the two.
But forms Of government are. after
all. but pieces Of machinery. a good
workman can often turn out a very
cfedltahle piece Of work with very
Door tools. snd a bad workman will
make a bctch Of it. no matter what
tools he may have. And good govern.
ment In a city demands on something
moro than the method chosen for the
administration Of the government. A
community whose members are deter.
mined to be we'll governed will gen.
orally nnd a way to have their will.
regardless Of the distractions which
clumsy systems may place in their
path, and q community whose people
are Indifferent on the subject will find
themselves wallowing in the slough Of
misgovernnent under any system.
A bad system makes good eovern-
ment more didieult to obtain. A good
system makes II easier for people who
have the will to be we'll governed to do
20. But the character Of the govern
ment generally depends more On the
attitude Of the people toward the gov
eminent than on any particular sys-
TEN that may be adopted.

The strike leaders in Belgium,
whatever may be said Of the wisdom
OF their effort to secure political con.
cessions In this manner, have display.
cd good sense In their inststence on
the maintenance Of good order durinr
the strike. OF course recommends
tons from a strike committee are
sometimes to be considered in the
same light as the declarations in a
political platform. and to be intended
for public consumption rather than
for private guidance. But at this dis.
tance. ct any rate, II is fair to take
the recommendations at their face val
ue. and to assume that the leaders
mean what they say when they declare
that violence and disorder will not ba
tolerated. There is further evidence
Of the sincerity Of the leaders in the
fact that in many cases men have been
left In charge of plants which, for va
rious reasons. would be seriously dam
ased by tho ceasation Of all work. The
purpose Of the strike appears to be by
bringing about a state Of temporary
embarrassment to call attention forci.
bly, to the demands which arc made,
but not to iAdtct unnecessary perma.
nent injtry on anyone.

who iourished just 2400 years ago.
Ledgers and journals. loose-leaf books
and all the devices of modern book
keeping were unknown. but records
were kept. and they are quite intelli-
sible to the student of today. From
these records Of clay, made SO many
hundred years ago. it appears that the
firm OF Murashu Sons was quite an ina.
portant business concern. 1t bought
and sold jewelry. houses and lots.
made deeds and mortgages. collected
rents, and carried on a number Of 9TH
er lines. When the records Of the in
teresting city Of Babylon are all UNI
earthed it will probably be found that
a legislative committee was appoint
ed to investigate the firm Of Murashu
Sons to ascertain lf the. existence Of a
trust of such gigantic proportions was
consistent with the welfare Of the chi.

THE ERDMAN ACT.

Duluth Herald: It is becoming
more and more apparent that there
must be some amendment OF the Erd.
ma act providing a means for the
settlement Of disputes between en-
ployers and labor. The work done I'M
der the present law has been notable
and Of vast benefit to the country. But
IN the curse Of the dispute between
the hremen and the eastern railroads
much fault was found with the law,
and some advantageous changes are
being suggested.
In the irst place. it is proposed to
increase the number Of arbiters. so
that there may be more than one rep
1osenting each party to the dispute.
That is a good move, since It gives the
fuller opportunity for consideration
md discussion Of each step with q
companion who shares the point Of
view Of the arbitrator.
Another proposal il that means be
dtvised for the keeping Of records
md data incident to disputes that
come before the commissioners, for
use ana reference in later cases. This

the changes suggested.

The Sharon Reporter says 1T has
been suggested to us that perhaps the
best way to render help to- the food

placing III the farms Of North Dakota

the farm life of the northwest is a good
one Just how the details are to be
worked Il is not quite clear. The
promiscuous paying Of railroad fares
for strangers would hardly do, because
IL such an offer were made 1t would
undoubtedly be abused by persons who
merely wished to take a trip and see
the country. and who had no intention
