4 SUGGESTION.

rynchburg is contemplating a new form OF
government. but cannot make up Its mind what
10 adopt. One thing II should decide upon, what
ever else It may do. Abolish the bi-cameral
council and substitute body for two, Hav.
ing done this 1t might devise some means of
concentrating authority into fewer hands and
OF fixing responsibility. After fixing the rcspon'
sibility It might find means to give the people
the power to offer the remedy when needed.
This much is fundamental The rest is matter
of detail.

Eane is Short.

Idols come and idols go
First are worshiped for a while
Then are quickly put aside
For those of newer style.
In the summer we have had
Heroes Of a baseball game
And the Caseys at the bat
Seemed to win undying fame.
But a pedestal is not
OF all places most secure.
And for but season short
Does this hero's fame endure.
He will soon be stepping down
To another will give way
For the football hero comes,
And will surely have his day.
