ComInission Form Fails.

The more one hears of commission
form ,of government, the less ne
thinks of it, indeed, the more dis
guested he becomes, and the more
one experiences the effects OF Uha s
government, the less he believes IN
it. That it is a complete failure IN
its ideals is shown by the present
state of affairs in Des Moines,
cracked UP as the model OF commls-
sion governed cities. Note the
following taken from the Pittsburs
Dispatch, in which attention s dl-
rected to the fact that the old eVlls
are coming back into Des Moines al
form has worn off ana 1t no longer
strives to make a showing as It no
LONGER fears the critical eye:
ut cannot be urged too strongly
lin n general way that the new coun-
ell mas been chosen as the mark o.
a strong public demand for change.
Things have not been going in IN 2
last two or four years as the peopls
OF the city and of the state believed
thew could have gone.'' This ma
turalIy suggests the idea that it IS
an expression of some one VINO
wants a cnange to the commission
form of government. But 1t is more
signfffca than that. 1t Is paFN
an editorial from the Des MONIES
Register ana Leader III NuISA
this commission form of government
was adopted six years ago, and
which has been held up as a leadlns
instance of the reform established py
that form of government.
or course there is the possibility
that this expression or discomfort
was produced by some ind.yidual
dissatisfaction. But it is more prot o
able that it is an illustration of the
WORKINGS of a natural law; When
the commission form or any .,1 other er
new plan is tried the attention o.
the public is directed to the govern
ment. The people Who are put in IN
charge know that their acts viii ne
closely watched, and do their best.
Years pass and the new form be-
comes old. People go about their
business and the old evils reappear
The opportunities for bad govern
ment are greater than with the re-
strsctions of the old plan. although
the worst practices have not yet re
appeared. But one of the complaints 1Ss
at Des Moines is mat u1Fder the

elected. s'Des Moines has had some

West Virginia, a blue grass state, is
excellent for grazing purposes, and
there is profit in live stock, IL prop
erly handled. AS an agricultural
feature the presence of live stock on
farms must supp1ant cereal crops as
farm lands in the state lose much of
their soil in tilling, and farmers are
not engaging in crop growing to the
extent once obtaining in West Viz
ginfa. AS shown by an exchange
California Is setting splendid ex-
ample for West Virginia and other
states. The exchange says:
In one respect California farmers
seem to be wiser their competitors
further East. That is, in the growth
of the live stock industry. Recent
statistics show that in 1913 California
had go, 900 cattle and 2,6OS,O0 sheep,
an increase in three years OF nearly
twenty per cent of cattle and about
nine per cent OF sheep. In the same
time the stock OF cattle and sheep IN
the whole country decreased. The adj
vance in values, however, increased
the money worth OF the herds $14o'-
100000.
The example of California can be
followed with profit by farmers all
over the country. There are millions
of acres in the Middle and Eastern
states that will be in better shape for
the presence OF more live stock; and
if we recall the conditions forty years
ago. when every village had its
slaughter house, it is nonsense to
think that cattle cannot be raised
profitably. The markets in the cities
are in possession of the big packers,
it is true: but if the cities will not
remedy that the farmers can do 1t.
Gone at right the cattle raising enter
prise can make material addition TO
farmers incomes.

y Interest Is being revived IN the
&nuntcipal code idea, of which the
Telegram has long been an ardent
advocate This is undoubtedly due
OF the conspicuous difficulties recent
IL encountered by several West V1r-
ginia cities in trying to govern tnem
selves satisfactorily with alleged
commission schemes of government
provided by special charter dispen-
sations Some of these cities, espe-
ctally those that have merely added
commissioners to the old form
of government, have shown the rest
of the state that they have been
merely footballs kicked around Dy
squads of politicians for their own
special benefit.
In view of the situation, it warns
the cookies of the kilograms heart
to see the Morgantown Post+Chron-
fcle exhibit yearning for better
ment of these conditions that are
bringing shame and disgrace upon
the state. The Morgantown news
paper echoes a rapidly growing pup
lie sentiment for such thing In the
following editorial paragraph:
For many years the West Virginia
legislature has spent a large part o.
the time of every session in think er1ns
with city charters. The next leg.sla-
ture ought TO enact a broad meas
ure comforting the right OF self gov
eminent on all cities and allowing
them to work out their own salvation
by constructing their own organic
and municipal law.

subjects be taught which have 2 dl-
rect bearing upon the activities OF lie,

system and popular education. The

youuq, people for the duties of life is
coming, but in many parts OF West
Virginia II is coming all too slowly.
In the meantime our best young
blood is being drawn to the city. We
can expect little else when we exam
inc the work which is being done In
many of our schools. The average
high school teaches topics, holds up
ideals which will necessarily leave
boys and girls TO sigh for the city
life. Who is to blame for this con-
ditfon? You answer, those who make
our course. Of study. NO 1t is only
necessary for the parents, taxpayers.
and those who have the interests OF
our boys and girls at heart to demand
that an education that is SO old that
it is musty, be supplanted by one that
fits for life.
The city movement can be most
effectively checked when We give the
same attention to such subjects as
agriculture, manual training, domes-
tic science, and domestic art as we
are giving to dead languages and
ancient history Less than five per
cent of the boys and girls who enter
the public schools ever take a college
course, yet our high school courses
are arranged to promote the interests
OF this small number and the ninety
FIVE are sacrificed. At the present time
teachers are being engaged, courses

was at first thought to be views OF
the Dismal Swamp in Virginia out
what, after long and patient exami-
nation by the entire editorial stan
and an expert stenograpner called
in consultation, has turned out to be
views of the hillside section OF this
city where Lee street used to be. As
the pictures were taken April 30,
1912, they are not strictly accurate
representations now and for that
reason it would hardly be fair to tie
residents of that section to repro
duce them. A partly submerged

photographs. Were they up to date
