ADDRESS
At Baptist Church Tuesday
Evening a Literary
Gem.

The baccalaureate address of Beth
el Female College Tuesday night, de-
livered at the Baptist church by Hon.
J. w. Downer, marked the close of
the session and pupils and teachers
yesterday departed for their homes
with a few exceptions.
Mr.. Downer's address was one of
the best literary addresses ever heard
in the city and was listened to by a
large and cultured audience. 1t
dealt with the life of Robert Louis
Stevenson and closed with a review
of some of his notable books. Mr.;
Downer is always a pleasing and
graceful speaker and his lecture is
being praised in high terms by all
who were so fortunate as to hear it.

Canadian Conference Gives
Strong Hopes Of Peaceful
Settlement.
HUERTA IS TO RETIRE
The Land Question Will Not
Cause Any Hitch In
Negotiations.

Washington, May 27.-Cabinet
members were optimistic today after
an exhaustive review of all COM
munications that have passed be-
tween President Wilson and the
American commissioners to the
Niagara Falls Mexican mediation
conference.
1t was declared that negotiations
had progressed so far that pre-
liminary basis for peaceful solution
of international difficulties had been
reached. This, it was said, would
take the form Of a protocol which
probably would be signed by agents
of Gen. Huerta's government and
the United States. No one would
disclose what would be the terms of
such protocol.
When the cabinet met the Presi-
dent laid before it developments that
have come day by day in the ex-
changes between the American COM
missioners and the mediators, and
the stipulations thus far proposed to
the South American ENJOYS by the
representatives of Gen Huerta.
Among the messages received
from the seat of the peace con-
ference was one confrmatory of
peace disatches that one of Huerta' s
own ENJOYS had declared that the
agrarian question would not be per-
mitted to disrupt the international
effort to avert war between the
United States and Mexico and o in
sure the ultimate restoration of
peace to all Mexico.

The Boss System.

The commission form has been
called the boss system" said Mr..
Waite. but it is not like the party
boss system. The party boss is I'M
official and unassailable.
Mr.. Waite declared that he be-
ieved the commission form applica-
Tie to any American city. even New
York, in which a majority of the
voters found they no longer wanted
party government.
In Dayton. the speaker said. the
women had helped immeasurably to
make successful the commission form
of government. He told how they
had organized a Civic Workers
League, with every school child as a
member. offering rrizes to districts
in which the most cleanliness was
shown. He also described the adj
vancement in art brought on through
the Department of Welfare and the
successful movement in the matter
Of Fairgrounds and gardens. explain
ing that more than 400 families now
were obtaining all Of their garden
truck from their own gardens.

tanning to the commission form Of

By a vote of 351 to 274-a majority
of 1.-THE English house of commons
passed the Irish home rule bill. The
end Of the hard fought struggle
came quite suddenly, the unionists
, refusing to debate the bill without
Slrther information as to the gov
ernment's intentions in regard to the
proposed amending measure. John
E. Redmond the Irish nationalist
leader, in statement said the divis-
ion in the house of commons is equiv
alent to the passage of the home
rule bill into law and expresses the
earnest hope that the Obstetrics,
who are genuinely nervous as to
their position, will abandon unreas-
enable demands and enter into a con-
ciliatory discussion with their fellow
countrymen with regard to points of
the bill upon which they desire furth,
er safe guards." ~

TRAINED
MEN RUN
Affairs Of Successful City, Says
Dayton Manager. Henry N.
Waite Heard.

Dayton's (0.) successful admins
tration of the commission form OF
government was described before a
large audience at Louisville at the
Woman's Club by Henry M. Waite,
business manager of that city. Many
members Of the Kentucky Short Bal
lot Organization were present.
Mr.. Waite laid stress upon the in
creased efficiency of the commission
form. using the argument that sue
cessful business corporations would
not consider administration of its af-
fairs by political parties.
He began by describing the public
sentiment and campaign which led
to,the installation Of the new form
last January with five commissioners
replacing the old officials. The ut
most good judgment had been used,
he declared, in selecting the five de-
partment heads. He explained that
the Director Of Welfare was a min
lister, particularly trained, at home
and abroad, for such work giving up
an important pulpit to take the pc.
sition: that the Director Of Finance
had surrendered a p sition more re-
munerative to accept the office, hav-
ing been trained in every phase of
the work of his department; that the
Director Of Law was on the original
commission which drew up the city's
new charter and understands why
some things had been retained in the
charter and others left out, and that
the Director Of Service was trained
in engineering, experienced in public
work, had been engaged in research
work and was an authority on street
paving.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1914-05-28
Vacancy For Right Man.

A Director of Safety has never
been appointed, Mr.. Waite explained
because a man suitable for the posi-
ton who would take the place could
not be found.
Il cannot tell you even to-day
their political faith" said the speak
err. You will never be able to Sc
lect through the ballot trained men
for trained functions. All over the
country there is an awakening to this
pertinent fact.
"In party-governed America cities
there are usually two parties, one
of them entrenched in power. The
theory of the voters who permit such
a system is that if one party fails to
give proper government the other
party can be put in, and, if necessa-
ry, the process reversed. The trou-
BILE is that the organization surround
ing the city officials is impractical
and inefficient.
Mr.. Waits pointed out the corpo-
rations could not successfully con-
tinue under such systems. An exc
cutive could not be induced he said,
to become president of railroad
system if he knew that the stock
holders. as compared to the voters,
were apt to change his organization
at will and if he knew that the or
ganization was inefficient.
