THE HAPPY FAMILY.

Thru the efforts of one Mr.. Bell, who
had been stepped on by Mr.. Bryan at
the Baltimore convention. the secre-
tary of state and the speaker of the
house were brought together at q
luncheon. The purpose Of the luncheon
was to permit Mr.. Bryan to pour the
precious ointment of speech from his
silver voice box on certain Jumps and
abrasions sustained from the hobnails
Mr. Bryan wore in his Baltimore shoes
when he walked rough shod over Tam
many. Speaker Clark just happened TO
be with Tammany on that eventual
occasion and was stepped on. He has
been sore ever since. So they brought
them together stopper and steppee at
a luncheon. How are you, Mr.
Speaker" says Bryan. How DO you
do, Mr. Secretary" says Clark. And
then each hunted up somebody he
could talk to without wanting 10 stick
a knife in him.
1t was d beautiful reconciliation.
How splendid a thing it is to see great
men like these cuddle. No doubt Mr..
Clark has forgotten that a convention
was held a. Baltimore last year and
MI. Bryan perhaps dimly recalls some
little friction occurred along about the
time that Governor Wilson was nomi-
mated. Now Mr.. Clark's hound dogs
can lie undisturbed on the rug in the
secretary's office and Mr.. Bryan get
the loan OF Champs mules To plow the
garden. Birds in their little nests
agree.
If another convention we're on to-
morrow and Mr.. Clark We're a leading
candidate would Mr.. Bryan plead for
his nomination. If Mr.. Bryan were a
candidate for senator in Nebraska"
with a chance of success would Mr..
Clark be across the line urging Clark
democrats to stand by the peerless
leader? Huh?

COMMISSION PLAN FOR STATES.
lSioux City Journal.]
Governor Hodges recent suggestion
that the Kansas legislature be replaced
by d commission did not get very far
In Kansas, but some Of the seed seems
TO have been blown into Colorado and
taken root there. While Kansas and
other states are discussing the Hodges
suggestion as an interesting theory.
William H Malone, of Denver, mas
shed his coat and is preparing TO I'M
dergo such eXertion as may be neces :
sary to put 1t to work. Under the
recently adopted Colorado initiative
and referendum it Is simple matter
to try out the merits of any govern
mental reform before the people. All
Mr. Malone VIII have to do in the
present case is to propose his plan as
an amendment TO the constitution and
circulate d petition that will be cheer
fully signed by enough accommodating
individuals TO meet the requirements
of the initiative. Then the amendment
can be passed upon By the voters at
the next general election. II they re-
cord their liking for it. presto, Colo
RADIO has the most up-to- date govern
ment in the world.
Under the Hodges plan, as adopted
by Mr.. Malone, Of Denver, the gov
eminent Of Colorado would be placed
in the hands of one governor and fif-
teen commissioners. The governor
would be the whole thing in the ex-
ecutive branch. He would have the
appointment Of all subordinate state
officers and be responsible for all
their performances. But the really in
teresting feature Of the new plan is
the legislative commission. 1t would
consist of fifteen members, elected
from that many representative dis
tricts in the state, but elected at
large This commission of fifteen
members would exert all the legisla
tive power now vested in the double
chambered legislature. 1t would be
expected to make the laws but have
nothing to say about administering
them. The governor would have a
monopoly Of administration and moth
ing to do with the law making. If
concentration Of executive and legis-
lative responsibility is desirable, there
| it is Is there too much concentra-
ton? There is the recall as a check
on the executive and the initiative and
referendum as a check on the legisla-
tive commission. Why should not
Colorado be sporty, and give US an ex-
ample of how it works?

A NATIONAL AFFAIR,

President wilson has on his hands a
situation apprOxinating that in which
President Roosevelt was involved on
account OF the anti-Jap sentiment of
California. There Is little doubt that
it was q dangerous situation then. II
will be recalled that Captain Hobson
made certain assertions at the session
of the national democratic convention
at Denver as what had been said to
him by "the president of the United
assertion was denied from the White
House. Hobson had stated that ''the
president" considered the situation
acute and war between Japan and this
country more than a possibility. Hob
son took his medicine quietly and with
out public protest, but in a conyersa-
ton with the editor who writes this he
said: Il have been under discipline too
long to talk back. Technically, per-
haps, the president did not say this to
me, but Theodore Roosevelt did"

In the first issue Of The Road Maker
one Year ago this month, we published
a very interesting article giving some
Of the history and plans of the 36o- Day
Road Club Of Carthage, Mo. No article
that we have ever published has at
tracted more general attention and
commentator and no organization in
America has received, or is more en-
titled to receive credit for the work
done than this remarkable club. j. D.
Garrison, president of the club and in
active charge of its operation, is one
of the most competent. enthusiastic and
effective workers that the cause of bet
ter highways has ever known. We are
glad to know that the club is growing
in size and influence. 1t is not one
of these dollar down and a dollar a
year. organizations that amounts to
nothing but every member pays IS per
month dues and this money goes into
the construction of highways. They
have purchased the best of power ma :
chinery and have co-operated in every
way possible with the local road Of
ticials. Their dues last year amounted
to more than $4,000 and The member
ship for the coming year will show a
considerable increase.
There are a hundred cities in this
great black dirt belt where such or
CARNATIONS can easily be built up and
maintained if one public spirited. active
and energetic citizen will take hold OF
the work as has Mr. C!arkson. The
following article from recent issue of
the Carthage Democrat will give you
some idea of what the organization is
doing:
Carthage was the pioneer in CO.
operative road building. The 365- Day
Road Club was formed here more than
two years ago and on each of its ami
versaries has had larger contributing
mem bership than in its history.
The fact that the club is a success is
attested by fifty miles Of good roads,
grea, portion of which is new high
way and the remaining niles improve
ments made on the original thorough
fares
j. D. Clarkson is president of the
club and is in active charge of its field
operations. He employs corps OF
capable assistants and when mile Of
road is built under his direction
it is mile of good roadway. suit

the year and 366 days every fourth year
Science is applied to the making OF

ClarkSon used.
The club owns complete train OF

the machinery from place to place anu

chinery used under Mr.. Clarksons ol-

The membership of the road CLUB IN
cludes the most progressive business
men Of Carthage. Many citizens con-
tribute who will reap no direct dement's
from the improvements. realizing thal
indirect profits will accrue to them
from better roads making better COM
munity.
Farmers have been inspired with a
confidence and pride in the roads that
they had not heretofore known There
is no graft in road building and no
salaries are paid from the treasury OF
the club. The club officers work in
conjunction with the commissioner OF
the Carthage Special Road District and
obtain the most road for the money
expended.
President Clarkson has been recog-
nized by road builders all over the
United States as an authority and has
read several papers before national
conventions. When matters of nation
al road Importance are being consld-
cred by the government his opinion
frequently has been asked and he never
fails to reply, urging the best for the
public welfare.
His efforts. with those of the club,
have done much to attract the atten-
tion Of the nation to Garbage.
