A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Major w. B. Collins declaration at
the citizens meeting in the county
court house last Friday evening in
favor OF publicity of the city council
proceedings merits unqualified en-
dorsement. Every citizen has right
to know what his representatives in
the city governing body are doing,
and all they ars doing. This knowl.
edge can be brought to him only
through publication Of the official pro
ceedings in the local newspapers
Moreover, such publicity will act as Q
measure of protection to the mayor
and commissioners whoever they may
be. If the public is kept fully inform
ed as to all that is being done and
that is contemplated much unjust sus
picion and distrust will be avoided
The incoming city officials will dc
well to profit by Major Collins goot
advice.

WHY MEATS ARE HIGH.

There are 100000 less meat ami
mails on the farms of the United
States now than in 1910. Mr.. Leon NJ.
Estabrook, chief of the bureau of sta
tistics, United States department of
agriculture, says that this indicates
clearly that the beef cattle business is
not profitable to producers. Otherwise
every farmer and stock raiser in the
country would have increased his
herds of meat animals In comment
ing on the high cost of meats Mr. Es-
tabrook points out that the total cost
of production OF the live stock on the
farm, the cost of marketing and trans
portation of the live animals, the cost
of manufacture into various kinds of
meats and the cost of marketing and
distributing the manufactured prod
ucts to the consumer all enter into it
He states that this is an immense
business in itself and the indications
are that the profits are correspond
ingly large to every one concerned be
tween the original producers and ulti
mate consumer

TAFT ON SEX HYGIENE.

Former President w. H. Taft will
have many supporters in his views on
teaching sex hygiene in the schools.
In a recent address in New York he
said:
Il deny that the so-called prudish-
ness and the avoidance OF nasty sub
jects In the last generation have ever
blinded any substantial number OF
girls or boys to the wickedness of
vice or made then easier victims OF
temptation. It has generally been
possible for them to recognize sin
and to know that they ought to avoid
Fit without leading them into an atmos.
phere which they can hardly breathe
without polluted suggestion
Mr.. Taft went on to say that the
moving cause OF this grotesque and
dangerous addition to the curriculum
in education is the view that the sins
of the individual are not his, but
those of society, and that society, by
giving him knowledge Of evil, will
give him Or her panoply against its
I! temptations. He declared he could
not think the small amount of possible
good can make up for the great dan
gers of this experiment.

Summary Of Conclusion as
to What Commission Form Of
Government Is and IS Not
BY the Bureau Of Municipal Research.
Government

1t Is q form of organization and a
device for popular control OF cficials
and soma official acts It sommits o
municipality to nothing save to the
theory of popular rule"
1t is an experiment., but rational
not a revolutionary one. It provides
for board government instead OF
checks and balances 1t Is not j
method except as to. Election, recall,
Legislation.
Usually it provides for direct pri-
maries and nonpartisan elections, and
Increasingly adds direct legislation
and the recall to the board plan. 1t
is not the commission plan that elm
mates ths party boss. but the direct
primary plan. and even this plan does
not invariably do SO.
1t is simpler. less pretontious. less
ceremonious method OF organizing a
municipality. 1t Is not city program
except that it aims at better govern
rnent. 1t is not short out to good
government, but 1t is an aid to better
government.
1t is q forward step In municipal
government, but one that may prove
disappointing unless othsr forward
steps are taken to insure adequate
and economical administration and
