important propositions in the
history of this State, the solu-
ton of which will be felt for
many years to come. Ii it be a
competent. discrete body it will
handle the situation in a most
beneficial manner. If it lightly
considers the true condition or
blunders in giving wholesome
legislation the evil effects can not
be overcome in a quarter of
century. Already we have called
attention to many serious de-
fects in the primary election law;
so serious as to strike at in
dependent voting--the only avail
able avenue to cure corrupt gov
eminent. This law must be over
hauled and made to conform to
public good rather than party ad-
vancement. While this may be
regarded lightly by many, yet,
when its effects are fully realized
its seriousness will not be under
estimated. Untrammeled, in
telligent suffrage must correct
the evils that come through par
ties and the liberation of the
voters is indispensable to such a
cause. The primary law is not
the only nor the most important
measure to be considered. Ken
lucky has a large unauthorized
debt deficit that is increasing
all the while. Sooner or later the
tax payers must pay 1t and the
next Legislature should revise
the revenue laws not merely to
pay this debt but to meet the
legitimate expenses of the state,
under ordinary conditions for the
next quarter of century. Our
penal, charitable and educational
institutions must be maintained
in manner that will best serve
the purposes for which they were
established, but conservative bust
ness methods should direct their
course. Many other measures
of vital importance to public
prosperity will come before our
next general assembly, so the
necessity of selecting able and
discrete representatives from
every district in the State ought
to be impressed on the people.
In this, the 37th Legislative dis
trict, Adair and Cumberland, we
trust that the right man will be
found and that he will go to give
valuable service, to serve rather
than be served. Without reflect
ing upon any one who has repre-
sented this district, or who may
desire to do so in the coming ses
sion of the General Assembly

Rumor says that the Inspector

Tho Blond Eskimo.

Mr.. Wilhjalmur Stefsnsson, who
knows more about the blond Eskimo
than any of us, is quoted as wishing
that these people might be saved from
missionaries. And hot missionaries
alone, but whalers. fur traders. and
even ethnologists like himself. for with
the coming of the white man Is the
accompanying messenger OF death. The
explorer believes that the speedy ex-
termination Of the natives would foi-
low contact with our civilization, and
he bases his judgment upon the >fact
that the Arctic tribes have invariably
decreased with great swiftness a. soon
as they adopted our customs. with
civilization" Mr.. Stefansson points
out, the Eskimo change their nomadic
more OF life. and In emulation of the
white man settle down in houses and
live in one place. This IL fatal TO
them. AS nomads there Is some limit
on the unsanitary conditions OF their
dwellings, but whenever they settle
down permanently. conditions become
unspeakable and tuberculosis is one OF
the inevitable results" Measles and
smallpox take most Of those who escape
consumption. Nor 10 disease the only
evil which the explorer regards as
danger. THE coming Of missionaries,
he said. means charity. and charity
means the paupSrixasion OF the ma
tives."

ion, or against the self-sAcrif1ce OF the
toiling evangelists, but against what
comes in the train and in the name OF
religion. AS rum and the bible have
travelled to the South Sea isles in the
same hold, so commercial greed has
used the gospel and the trader has
made pioneer mission his entering
wedge. There is reason In Stefansson's
contention"
The Detroit Free Press elso particu-
larizes:
"Stefansson's opposition to the mis-
sionaries is not opposition to religion,
tho it must be confessed he does not
show himself enthusiastic over the
spread OF the christian faith. But he
maintains that missionaries would
speedily wean the White Eskimo away
from the habits in which they have
hitherto lived happily. This !s Hot
the attitude ordinarily taken by those
who discourse Of the dangers that civ
ilization brings to savage tribes. 1t IS
more usual to hold UP the explorer
the. merchant, and the adventurer as
the germ carrier and the missionary
as the physical as we'll az the spiritual
savior. But because Mr.. Stefansson's
viewpoint may be unusual 1t ought not
to be cast aside as OF no importance.
His warning OF the danger to the White
Eskimo from contact even with any
missionaries who may feel called upon
TO 20 into the frozen north in spite OK
his warning and his plea Of hands on.
In the past, missionaries in many
places have too much insisted upon
changes in harmless customs. IN
preaching christianity they have often
preached with 1t the necessity for
adopting their national or family ideas
of comfort and housing. Civilization
is not one Of the essentials christian
virtues, and the road to salvation can
be travelled in a snow hut as we'll as
in a wooden house. In spite OF our
boasted altruism and high morality
and humanitarianism. there Is great
deal Of heartlessness in our attitude
toward weaker peoples. and we have
no reason to assume that the White
Eskimo will meet happier fate than
the rubber gatherers OF Central Africa
and South America"

commission plan of city government.

to the present law is to empower the

GOING TO THE COUNTRY.
lGrinnell Register.

One by one the luxurieS which, at
first, We're enjoyed only in the cities,
are finding their way ont into the
country. At first it was the telephone
that had it's habitat within the city
limits: now the country lanes are
spider webbed with telephone lines.
Then the city family had their mail
delivered at their front door, but not
to enjoy that exclusive privilege long;
every morning half dozen teams
leave Grinnell to take the United
States mail to the homes along the
country roads.
The next luxury for the country is
practically free commercial delivery .or
light packages. Before 1918 had tot
tered away to take its place in the
mausoleum Of old years, one enterpris-
ing Grinnell merchant was sowing the
country with advertisements that he
would deliver all merchandise bought
at his store weighing less than eleven
pounds, free Of charge.
1t may take some time before the
farmers and the farmers wives realize
what a convenience this is. Any one
living along any of the routes going
out from Grinnell; for that matter.
anyone living within twenty five miles
of this city, can just as we'll take ad-
vantage Of the larger stocks and bet
ter trade facilities Of the city. Nothing
10 do but to ring the telephone, call
up their Grinnell merchant and have
the goods delivered at their front door.

Ge,,erol Managers For Our Cities

superinte Of schools acts In his
department,
The city by having such general
manager to carry into effect the plans
approved by this board. would be en-
abled to secure as trustees some OF the
best, practical and experienced men
among It's citizens who would willingly
act since it would only take small
portion Of time for meetings semi or
monthly at the call of the general
manager: and would act for nominal
compensation, and thus enable the city
to secure first class man at salts
factory compensation and he like the
school superintendent would have the
motive always before him to make q
reputation that would call him and hiA
results to the notice Of some other city
in want OF just such service and rer
sults-in fact the position OF city
manager" would become profession.
The plan as briefly outlined would
place the management OF city affairs
on exactly the same plane as the man
agement Of any large, successful bust
ness corporation, and can any one give
any good reason why our cities. OF
which we arc Gil stockholders. should
not be governed by the same business
rules that we would apply to our own
business. The commission form OF
government Is good so far as it has
gone, but it does not go far enough.
It may be said that the law as 1t now
stands allowss the commission to hire
whom they please. Granting that this
is SO, they do not do it that way. and
to obtain best results 1t must be made
compulsory and uniform by 30 amend
ing the law as to apply business prin-
ciples to its executive. German cities
are governed on this plan. and they
are admittedly the best governed OF
any country.
