There was not hitch in the launch
ing of the first city commission last
evening. Everything went off like
clock work, even the alarm being set
at 9:15 and when 1t sounded, the first
meeting adjourned. The entire pro-
gram as arranged was not subject to
change without notice, there were no
interruptions, each commissioner CIV
ing his part at the proper time.
The council held short session
prior to the commissioner meeting and
every one Of the thirteen chairs were
occupied for the last time. The last
of the bills were passed and one of
Charles Russell for road work was
tabled, and the council adjourned to
meet no more. It was short session
but filed with merriment, the mayor
and aldermen making their final bow
in happy manner.
Scenes Shifted
The scenes were shifted at this juno
eture There was not as much room re-
ouired for the setting, and only five
desks needed The name plates on the
desks which bore the names Of the
aldermen were torn of. President
johnson summoned the commissioners
by phone. The curtain soon went up,
the tap Of the gavel sounded and the
new commission form Of city govern
ment for Devils Lake was launched.
Presidents Message.
President johnson personally read
his message to the commissioners, his
address being as follows:
Gentlemen:- You will now come to
order as a board Of commissioners Of
the city of Devils Lake. It is not nee
essary for me to review the efforts put
forth by the citizens generally to es-
tablish this commission form Of gov
eminent. It is now reality and each
of you will soon become the head Of a
separate and distinct department Of
government.
We were elected upon a platform Of
business efficiency and economy in the
administration Of city affairs. Efacien.
cy Is defined by Webster: "Producing
or causing effects or results, powerful,
ready"
Results Expected
By this we are expected to produce
results from the different department.
and I believe that the people have alb.
solute faith that this commission win
perform their wish and that results
will be forthcoming. On the other hand
the people must give US a reasonable
time to get in operation as we must
completely reorganize the affairs Of
the city.
You all know the meaning of the
word economy. You are all men d
business and have proved your worth
as such, and # you viii only use the
same system Of regulating the affairs
of the city as you use in your personal
business, there can be nothing but the
strictest economy to the tax payers.
Enforce Ordinances.
We have here book Of ordinances
(picking up city ordinance book), they
are all good, especially our fire ordin
Devils Lake weekly world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1911-1914, 1913-04-11

ance. 1 wish each Of you to make a
careful study Of the same as 1t will
be the intention Of the administration
to enforce these ordinances as far as
within our power.
Now in constructive way I wish
to call your attention to few things
we should endeavor t odo.
First we should make Devils Lake
a sanitary city. Second we should
make our city an attractive city, as
you will remember the remark Of Mr..
Rastell of Duluth. "In order to at
tract, you must be attractive" Let
us strive to make our city attractive.
Third. we should do something for
the boys and girls Of the city by es-
tablishing play grounds, interesting
them in the city as to its beauty and
government. for the boy Of tooay is
the man Of tomorrow.
Dump Grounds.
Fourth. dump grounds. When I
speak Of these do not wish to cen,
sure the past administration. because
it only did what great many councils
of other cities have done, tleave it
alone" but any civilized community
that allows at their very back door, a
dump ground, place of refuge for
dead horses, dogs, cats, old rags, boots
and shoes. tin cans, manure, etc
which becomes breeding ground for
flies, and disease germs of all kinds,
and never raise their voice against it.,
except to censure some official. cor
tainly lacks civic pride.
Must Visit Dump
The council makes rules and regula-
tions and provide for dump ground
and people use It, but more often mis-
use It want each commissioner to
make it his personal duty to 60 out
and view our dump grounds and sat
isfy himself as to what ought to be
done. Where is also a problem Of
sewerage that this city must sooner u
later solve.
These are only few of the many
problems for this city to solve and 1t
is up to this commission to do its very
best to bring about these Influences
and changes"
At the close of his address President
johnson announced that the time had
arrived for the division of labor, and
accordingly motions were made in
quick succession, the organization be.
ing rapidly perfected.

Washington, Feb. 20.-(Special.)-
When the American voter went into
the booth last November and voted the
straight Democratic ticket he.may not
nave been conscious of it at the time,
but he was helping to bring about a
veritable social revolution in Wash
ington.
All is changed, or soon will be.
The old social leaders will pass on
March 4 n q new set come in to
guide the social deStinies Of the ma
tional capital. That this new set will
be entirely different from the old there
can be not the least shadow of a
doubt.
Smart society, which is always ter
ribly tinid, is really in a panic. In
stead Of settling down complacently
with its calling lists and it's feathers
it is busy packing trunks and s2uGytng
foreign time tables. For the word has
gone forth that the new social leaders
who will come into their own with
Wilson'S Inauguration are. violently OPP
posed to misunderstanding one
the turkey-trotters and the cocktail
experts. The new set will he dread
fully serious and staid.
The Wilson girls and their mother,
to begin with, are. decidedly not of the
butterfly sort. Each CT the daughters
has pursued serious work, forsaking
the easy-going life of young girls in
easy circumstances for the path of
service. Such an example is bound
to have it's effect, not only il Wash
1ngton, hnt Throughout the country.
That Washington will be remodellcd
on the plan upon which social life was
conducted in the Cleveland regime is
generally predicted. The "oll south"
will come into its own again, and the
south is conservative. The Continental
Sunday, to which Washington has
grown accustomed in recent wears. will

hotel, has led to the altar Miss Nora
Boss, a $50, 900 heiress of this city.
They eloped a few days ago.
Although the bride is sure hat there
couldn't be a better husband any
where. her mother seems to harbor a
different opinion. "Waiters are ex-
actly like other PERSONS" says Mrs.
Womeldorf. They have souls like
bankers, brokers, brewers, lawyers and
reporters. Why should anybody
care?"
To which Mrs. Fannie Boss, the
mother, replies that she does care very
much.
ITS not that he's a waiter" says
Mrs. Boss. It's not that at all so
much-it's because he stole my daugh-
ter. He makes s35 a month-and my
daughter is not used to hat kind of
living. She has an income of her own,
