HOPE FOR BETTER THINGS.

Hope for better things for Brownsville
seems TO be assured ~ tEe result "a Tues
days election. True, the number voting
was small, yet this h not surprising. al
the question was not opposed that ~ open
", by any considerable udnber, and. IN
fact there had been very little discussion
II the issue. Ii Is undoubtedly true, ana
q consoling thought also, that those who
DID vote for the framing Of 4 new charter
Tor the city were men who are strictly IN
favor Of progress and improvement. for
the removal OF the city from under the
old bane Of polite. and placing II III the
ranks of modern citle~. They were men of
intelligence, men Of patriotism Thonch
not many In number. yet they have Given
to this city proof that It has enough III
such citizens 10 assure it, future as 4 mod
ern and progressive city. Brownsville Is
indeed 10 be congratulated upon the re-
suit.
According To the understood method Of
procedure, the commission named nj this
election will now he authorized 10 frame 4
charter which will Dc offered for the adop-
tion of the city. They will. without doaht.
be guided IA their work by he experience
of the various eities which have adop.ed
the commission form Of government. whe-
fher the government 10 conducted ~ n
commission or SUPERVISED ~ a business
manager. The question Of the initiative
and referendum doubtless will receive due
consideration ia the framing "a this char
ter. There are many features new III the
management Of municipaltie- which this
commission will have % consider. and
which ne doubt Il viii consider seriousl,
before finally deciding upon the form which
shall be submitted for approval.

MonYcoddIe

MoIIycoddIe journalism. - The
Daily News neatly straddIes the fence
by criticizing Barrett O'Hara, and
young Rockefeller in the same edi-
tOriaL
1t delivers one of those stereotyped
lectures to both of them. O'Hara is
lectured for remarks that were in
terpreted as tending to incite work
ingmen to violence" and Rockefel-
Ter is childishly patted on the wrist
for not assuming a more concilia-
tory attitude"
Rot! Such editorial treatment of
an industrial war will get nowhere.
About all it will. do is to convince
some readers Of the News, who de
pend upon that moIlycoddle sheet for
their information, that it is. very fair
and isn't taking sides.
If Lawson is afraid of violence,
why doesn't he do something to cor
rect the evils that may lead to vio-
Ience2
If he knows anything at all about
workingmen, he should know that all
history proves that the working
slaves won't rebel until there is abso-
lutely nothing else left for them to
do. The most amazing thing about
human society is. the marvellous pa
tience and foTbearance of wage
workers.

forgery, intimidation Of witnesses
and attempts at blacklnail.
When I read that boast of Burns
that he knew the murderer and would
convict him, it looked to me like one
of those yarns sprung by detectives
as a bluff to create public sentiment.
In this particular case it looks as if
the bluff had been called, and Frank
is worse off than he was before it
was made.
Iwould have to have mighty strong
direct and cOTrObOrative evidence be-
fore I would convict any man on the
testimony of private detective
agency.
By the way, wasn't it Burns who
got the evidence against the mem
beTs of the structural iTonworkers?

hundreds of thousands are exhaust
ing every known resource to prevent
it. But there is an Thsistent demand
from wage slaves for ibeTty-the
right to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, as guaranteed them by
the constitution, but denied them by
those who control gOvernment-and
this demand cannot forever be put off
with soft talk and moral suasion.
That Slaves obey your masters"
stuff is losing its edge. Men want to
be free in this land of the free and
home of the brave" There are mil
lions who actually hope that SOME.
DAY THIS SO-CALLED REPUBLIC
MAY BECOME A DEMOCRACY,
WHERE THE PEOPLE RULE.
In conclusion, O'Hara didn't adj
vocate violence. His remarks should
not be given that Interpretation No
body at the meeting of the Chicago
Federation advocated violence.
Everybody who spoke expressed the
hope that men would get justice
WITHOUT violence, but they DID
DEFEND THE RIGHT OF THE
PROSECUTED MINERS OF COL
ORADO TO ARM THEMSELVES TO
PROTECT THEIR OWN LIVES
AND THOSE OF THEIR WIVES
AND CHILDREN.
What's wrong about that? What's
un-American, or unpatriotic about it?
The News might better pump the ice
water out of its veins and pump in
a pint of red blood.

 Yet it has been found that the spelling books used in Californias schools contain near to 15OoO words. Of this number the average child in the schools uses in its vocabulary but from fifth to third proDaDp the average business man does not many more than this limit
 There is a popular idea that any one can learn to spell. Never was anything more mistaken. Spelling is as much gift is mathematics language, science art or mechanics More and more, too, the business man hires his spoilers he does his mulpliers He talks to a stenographer into photograph and loses both the of writing and spelling if he ever has had them
 Query then would 1t not be better if children really learned to spell 5000 words they would remember hem than to struggle with 15OOO and forget them all? As fact many would also forget most of the 5000 but not so easily while they would have as much memory discipline they could get by increasing the number
