the beating OF tom-toms by Chinese

street of the orient, the American
teacher, accustomed to the quiet OF
the American school room, must in

Commission Form Fails.

The more one hears of commission
form of government, the less ne
tanks of 1t, indeed, the more dis
guested he becomes, and the more
one experiences the effects of that
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 commits
sion governed cities. Note the
following taken from the Pitts0ur g
dispatch, IN which attention Is d.
rected to the fact that the old evils
are coming back into Des Motnes al
ter the newness of the government
form has worn on and It no longer
strives to make a showing as no
longer fears the critical eye:
1T cannot be urged too strongly
in a general way that the new coun-
ell ms been chosen as the mark o.
a strong public demand for change.
THINGS have not been going in the
last two or four years as the people
OF the city and Of the state believed
they could have gone" This ma
turalIy suggests the idea that 1t -
an expression of some one Wno
wants a change to the commission
form of government. But 1t IS more
sienFfcant Than that. It IS part
an editorial froIn the Des MONIES
Register and Leader. in which CITY
tf1is commission form of government
was adopted six years ago, ana
which has been held up as leadlns
instance of the reform established by
that form OF government.
or course there Is the possfDihty
that this expression of discomfort
was produced by some indtV1a rua
dissatisfaction. But it is more PROD
able that It is an illustration OF the
workings OF natural law. When
the commission form or any other
new plan is tried the attention OF
the public is directed to the govern

West Virginia, blue grass state, IS
excellent for grazing purposes, and
there is profit in live stock, IL prop
erIy handled. AS an agricultural
feature the presence OF live Stock on
farms must suppIant 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 Vir-
ginia. AS shown by an exchange
California is setting a splendid ex-
ample for West Virginia and other
states. The exchange says:
In one respect California farmers
seem 10 be wiser their competitors
further East. That Is, in the growth
of the live stock industry. Recent
statistics show that In 1913 California
had ] So, 600. cattle and 2,603,e0 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 Sl4o'-
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

a Thing Sadly Needed.


Interest is being revived In the
municipal code idea, of which the
e,e1egram has long been an ardent
advocate. This is undoubtedly due
OF tne conspicuous difficulties recent
~ encountered by several West VIZ
gfnia cities in trying to govern tnenl-
selves satisfactorily with altegeu
commission schemes Of government
provided by special charter dispen-
satfons- Some of these cities, espe-
cfally 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 PostIChron-
icle exhibit a yearning for a better
ment of these conditions that are
bringing shame and disgrace upon
the state. The .NorgantoWn news
paper echoes a rapidly growing pub
lie sentiment for such thing IN the
following editorial paragraph:
