care of by general taxation.
Mcmahon on Basic Principles.
M. H. Mcmahon endorsed the gen.
eral scheme of the commission form
Of government, but declared his un-
alterable opposition to the city MANA
ger plan. He complimented the chart
er commission on the charter which
he said was a thorough document and
covered apparently every point
worthy of consideration. He said
there should be not only one but a
series of public meetings to discuss
its various provisions and regretted
that apparently provision had not
been made for them. The city of Du-
luth had spent three months in study
ing and considering at public meet
ings its charter before it was finally
submitted to the people. He said the
city could not expect men to whom it
paid $40 to $40 month to administer
its business affairs as we'll as men
who received a salary commensurate
with the duties they were required
to perform. He said the object of the
commission form of government was
largely to centralize responsibility
and that under the city manager plan
there would only be created additional
boards and the result would be SUBJ
stantially the same form of govern
ment as the city has at present. He
said he was opposed to the amend
ment providing for the retiring of the
water and light bonds by general
taxation. "The basic principle of
municipal ownership" said Mcmahon,
lis that the public utility pays for it.
self out of its earnings. Any other
plan is contrary to that principle and
contrary to- the principles of the men
who advocated municipal ownership
of the water and light plant in this
city through long and bitter CAM
paign." He declared there was no
distinction between property inter-
ests in this matter whether those of a
mining or mill company and that
where a utility plant can carry itself
OF should do so. He said there were
1912 customers of the water and
light plant at the present time who
were paying not to exceed rs cents a
month for service, 465 paying less
than 81, 439 less than 81, los less
than So, 1874 less than $40 and IA
more than $40. More than half of the
consumers were paying the minimum
rate and three-fourths less than 81.
Still the plant was accommodating
The surplus, he declared,
should be applied on the payment of
the plant.
Archer on Middle Ground.
w. J. Archer took middle ground.
He believed that property values
enhanced by the low rates
of water and light service should bear
their just proportion of the purchase
price of the plant. He declared the
new charter should dispose of the
whole matter on a permanent basis
and that not only the consumers but
the property benefited directly or in
directly should stand its share of the
cost. The whole matter should be fin
ally disposed of he said so that it
would be removed from the realm of /
political issues.

Human Monstrositie

The storm of approval and protest winch has been accustomed by the tie. ciSion of Chicago Ihysiciun not to operate upr defective baby in order tD continua it's life. calls attention to the fact that the hospital for the insane i in Middletown, Conn, is caring for monstrositie3 which bear little re. semblnnce of the human species. They are seldom shown. except 10 students of sociology and to others who have serious interest in seeing them. and most people have little thought that l the institution is harboring the like. ! Perhaps it is well that few sec them. 1 They are repulsive and loathsome and memory of them preys upon the mind of the sensitive person for days after i the visit.
 If yOu were to picture mammoth i potato, with nub for head, encased in sack like mail bag, and moved about by an attendant grasping a huutllc CT a fold in the bag, you would get gool idea of what some of these strange things look like. They possess no guiding intelligence and have tn be 1 fed and cared for. When They are brought into the room they sway slightly from side to side and emit monotonous crooning. They are sensi. ble to light, as is shown by tendency th grope- aimlessly in that direction They utter no intelligihle sounds and are, in fact, great shapeless masses that ure alive and possess functions sufficient when cared for, to live on and or. Any of the worms in the ground, or the low forms of life in the water, are better prepared to cope with prevailing conditions and to fill some useful part in the economy of the universe.
 And yet good care is given to these strange forms. Some individual, or community, in Connecticut or else. where. is paying for their up.keep ut the rate of S3.75 week. Some of them live on for years-not the normal span of life, usually-but a fair period. Some of these at the state hospital have been there more than ten years, and goodly sums have been expended for their maintenance.
 The physicians at the institution say little about such matters. They are case hardened, the public concludes. The nurses and attendants do not dis cuss the matter. They have seen so much that is abnormal and revolting that they are glad to put the thoughts of such things from mind So the public knows little of what the doors uf an institution of this sort open to admit.

Intercourse between Russia and Eng land began in the middle of the six teenth century by the White sea. 1t was q hazardous and costly voyage. The crews of two of the three ships with which Richard Chancellor made his first trip in 1858 were frozen to death, Sir Hugh WIlloughby among them. On his second venture, in 1856.

Fathers and Children.

"In the earlier years" says Pastor Charles T.. Jefferson in the womnn's Home Companion. children cnn be controlled by their mother. but by and by there comes time when they begin to note the conduct Of the father. No eyes are kecner than the eyes of n child. He sees everything the father does. He reflects on what the father does not do. His logic is ineXorable. He argues his way to conclusions which cannot be shaken.
 "If his father does not pray. prayer must be unnecessary. Grown men surely know what is needed. If his father never reads the Bible then the big book can be dispensed with. Fa- thers know what books are most worth reading. If he does not go to church then church attendance is q pastime and not duty, for men so old and wise as father is would not neglect church if church were of value to them"

A Dirtless Dutch City.

Rotterdam, the city of Erasmus, was described by Thomas Hood as "a sort of vulgar Venice" A more pleasing impression, however, is preserved in Il letter from Lady Mary Wortley Mon- tagu in 1716 to her friend the Count ess of Mar. "All the streets are paved with broad stones, and before the mean est artificers' doors are seats of various colored marbles. The place is so neat ly kept that l will assure you I walked pers without receiving one spot of dirt, and you may see the Dutch maids washing the pavement of the street with more application than our maids bestow upon our bedchambers."
