WOODROW WILSON AND THE SHORT BALLOT,
How Wilson Organized the Short Ballot Movement

Up 10 1910 Mr.. Wilson's doctrine OF simplifed re
spnnsihle government had only been extensively dis
cussed in intellectual circles Every serious writer on
American government later had deplored the
practice OF eectng multitude of officers But none
OF them had suggested any constructive remedies No
attempt had been made to convince the great American
public Of their folly: the people considered hope
lcssly welded TO the notion that electing a multitude Of
officers is the very essence OF democracy

There seems to be frivolous strain
taking hold Of civilization, ruling out
sobriety, earnestness,- sincerity and
making the times one universal grin.
If>it keeps on this way for fifty years,
there won't be a serious thought left.
Everybody will be telling funny
story or getting off an anecdote. The
joke will everywhere prevail in con.
versation. The mention of scientific
fact, a historic incident, a bit or phil
osophy, etc. will be ruled out of soci-
ETY.. If a man wants to talk literature,
science, invention, philosophy, he will
have to decoy some doleful soul into
a back room and talk in the most con.
fidential tone. f.>>2ss E.s& r. r !. 81 .@.3
At least that is the way everything
seems to be tending. Society SHIN
mers and sparkles along on the sur
face, and will not allow serious
thought to throw shadow on it.. Sit
down to dinner, it's a laugh from soup
+ to coffee. A committee meeting has
more fun than it does business. Hi.
larity is running things everywhere,
and If he only holds on while, he
will be the chief ruler of all mankind.
And the upshot of it will be that man
will be so lonesome when he is BY
himself that he will commit suicide,
and OF course there will be many, for
it will be the dreariest of exisistence
not to be telling s-or listening to q
fuRny story.-Ohio State Journal.

Colors to Guide Autoists.

Motor touring routes through New
York state are to be marked by color
schemes, in order to make the routes
readily recognizable. The route from
New York to Buffalo through Albany.
for instance, Is to be marked in blue.
with fences, bridge approaches and
signs on the proper highway display
ing this color. The suggestion was ad-
vanced by an automobile association
official and adopted by the state high
ways department. Red will be the
color of the route from New York to
Jamestown by way of Binghamton; !;
yellow will mark the route from New
York to the Canadian border, at Og-
densburg; green is forzthe trip from
Binghamton to Niagara Falls and
Ogdensburg, and brown from Oswego

New Club Committees

The coming year promises to be
busy one for the Commercial club as
there are several big propositions
which must. be carried through. The
club in the past has demonstrated it's
ability to care for problems of any
size and will undoubtedly serve Be-
midi we'll on these later ones.
One big proposition, that of get
ting sheep and other live stock into
this country, has been left to the
capable hands of J. .Opsahl and the
other members of the club are not
worrying over his ability to carry the
thing through But there are other
problems left.
At present, every member of the
club is on some committee although
new members taken in during the
year are not appointed to commit
tees. AS result of the large men,
bership, the committees are un-
wieldy and seldom initiate action.
Matters must be brought before the
club, which meets but once a month,
or the directors and then is referred
to a committee where action is slow.
1t has been suggested, and the
suggestion seems a good one, that
during the coming year each COM
mittee have a secretary as we'll as a
chairman and that the two be given
power to do the work of the commit
tee with the other members as an ad-
visory council. In that way each
committee will have two men who
can initiate action and carry a pro-
position through.
For the coming year it might be
"oAA " A1'o ouc CoullAAttee W WOIk
for the opening of the lands to the
west of Red Lake. This is big
proposition which will probably take
some time to work out and needs the
entire attention of one or two inen.
Another committee could look into
the matter of getting more govern
ment lands on the tax list If the
present law is sufficient it should be
used and if not, an amendment should
be put through.
1t has been known here for some
time that one of the railroads is
quiet-gathering information about a
country through which it expects to
build soon. A small committee to as
sist the railroad men could help them
materially.
In the big cities, the committees
of the Commercial clubs each have
paid secretary. Bemidji is not large
enough for this but if each commit
tee had a secretary who could assist
the chairman and the two act as an
executive subcommittee, more defin-
ite action and more accurate inform
alton could be had on nearly any pro-
position brought before the club.
The Commercial club has a big
year before it. Every business man
interested in Bemidji, and they all
must be, should attend the annual
meeting Tuesday night and give the
club a good start on the new year.

Brazil,s valuable4water Power.

Brazii's Valuable Water Power. e
Fortunately for Brazil, without any
coal of much value, there is water
power to- be found in almost every
state in the republic, and the large
power plants already installed for
some years have been obliged to in.
crease their voltage to meet the
growing demands for light and power.

Unnecessary Expense.

Legislators have gathered statis-
tics which indicate that Minnesota
has higher per capita cost for gov.
ernment than most other states OF
the same size. The legislature this
year has an economy streak and ap-
pears to be anxious. to cut unneces-
sary expenses. --e,ssssl -.
One large item of state expense is
the number of reports Of executive Of.
ficials printed on first class book pa
per and expensively bound. A few.
such copies are necessary for the.
state records but the present policy
appears to be to print large numbers
Of these books and scatter them
broadcast over the state. These re-
ports. are usually glanced over and
then thrown away. The purpose
could be answered with much less
expsnse.

enough-are inherent in a 6: stem OF
one-room country schools, and that the
way to remedy the situation Is to have
fewer and better schools, With trans.
portation furnished TO pupils living at
a distance.
1t Is pointed out that the rural school
conditions found in this Maryland county
are by no means peculiar oyit, but ARE
typical of what is stfll found In country
districts of others. In several re-
spects Montgomery county is superior
to other rural localities In It's educa-
tiona1 facilities. 1t has, for instance,
school year OF $50 days, as compared tn
terms as low as forty days In pArts Of
some States; and. like every other
Maryland county. it has county super
vision Of schools which educators con-
slider the most effective means Of Du!ld
ing up rural education.
Tc make the one-room rural schools
as efficient as possible. but to do away
with them by consolidation wherever
practicable, Is the motto the rural
school improvers have adopted. Con-
slant improvement Is reported in the
facilities offered by the one-room rural
school, particularly in relating school
work to farm needs. but side by side
with this improvement has gone the
movement for consolidation, until there
are now several thousand consolidated
schools in the United States.

Good-by to the crossroads one-room

house-if the advice Of the United
States Bureau of Education Is fol-
lowed. The bureau Is advocating con-
solidated or centralized schools wher-
ever possible without too much expense,
as the result of a survey in Montgom-
cry county. Maryland, where condi-
tions Of the rural school problem are
typical.
That sentiment in the country dis
tricts is not everywhere ready for the
consolidated-school idea is freely ad-
mitted by the authors Of the bulletin
In Montgomery county q majority OF
the school patrons expressed themselves
as opposed to the idea. They realized
fully the deficiencies Of their rural
schools. but they were not Yet willing

LED by that Pennsylvania general. Joe
Rodgers, who has aided in inforcfne
discipline for many years. entered the
chamber in hattie aray and went into
executive session with the chief door
keeper. The strategy was in session
five minutes and hit upon a solution
OF the difficulty =
As the unwelcome guest had refused
to apss out of any door of the House
chamber, IL was decided that he might
deign TO leave via the SHyliShts ana
the roof A skylight on the Democratic
side was hastily opened, after commun-
ication had been had with the office
of the superintendent of the building,
and the intruder flew away.
The visitor that caused all the trouble
was sparrow hawk; some employees
said it was a whipporwill, but the ayes
had it.

Nevertheless, the doorkeepers and
pages of the House did not want to be
reduced to the extremity of apepaling
for aid to the sergeant-at-arms and the
mace, although there is little doubt Bob
Gordon would have fearlessly rushed in
to tine fray with his eagle-crested SYM
Dol of police power.
Hey, don't you know the House is
going to meet in a few minutes" yelled
a page. The outsider was silent. i'm

About this time the news spread
through the House wing of the Capitol
that there was trouble on the floor and
that the doorkeeper had his hands full
in handling an unruly visitor who, evil

in the House chamber as any legisla-
tor from the day of Thomas jefferson
down to the present.
Tourists who passed the gallery doors
paused to watch the unusual scenes of
activity spn the floor below. Men ,and
boys were trimming about. gestfcuIating
and shouting orders. Doorekeepers who
ordinarily sit about drowsily were on
the jump and pictures of galvanized
energy. The before-convening work of
cleaning up the chamber and distribut-
ing copies of the Congressional Record
had stopped. All eyes and ears Swere
