8 Picking, Dec. 22.-Mo,st of the YER
nacular papers. printed in the treaty
ports take a very gloomy view of the
action of Italy, Russia, France and
England in supporting Japan's request
for a postponenent of the monarhica1

A Chinese contributor to the Picking

the ease which is Typical, perhaps, of
the views held by the majority of the
educated Chinese: tsSuch short-sight-

ture International discord and lead to
Hverlasting DISTURBANCES of the polit-
Zeal equilibrium in the orient. The
questions that will Immediately come
to ones mind are: Will the English,
Russian and French people be Willing
to have all special privileges that they
have succeeded in Iaboriusly building
up in the last two decades destroyed
by following the selfish dictation of
Japan? After the war, what will the
Englishmen say when they discover
that the japanese have stepped into

BY official decision the United states
Bureau or Innii gration has declared
that there are not enough trained
nurses IN this country to perform the
work that awaits them Not until this
fact was established to the satisfaction
OF the federal authorities could the
state of Ohio import a trained nurse
from Canada to take chaEge Of work
In Athens Ohio
The government has after recon
sfderation just permitted - Bertha
Steer, Canadian nurse twice ex-
c1uded. to. enter this country. The
case thus concluded dates back to

Tie -soard of Health appointed Miss

Then came the, dffnea1ty. When
Miss Stoera reached sBufalos on her
-Vay to athens iEnnnfgration officials
boarded the train and questioned her
F1ndfnrs that she had d contract with
her to leave the train. explaining that
they did SO under the provisions of
the alien contract labor clause
The law gave Miss Stoer the privf-
1ege of appealing her case Accord

OF inquiry in Montreal, September IT.
1915. Again excluded she carrie d
her appeal to Secretary Redne1d of
&Efe Department of g Commerce and
Labor. This appeal has Just been
decided in her favor.
The basis for her detention was
thus described by, r. L. Larned, act
ing commissioner general:
"A contract Iaborer. under Section
il of the immigration law, Is a person
who has been induced or solicited to
promises OF emp1oynaent :. to

To Gain Admission
In order to gain. admission to this
country, it was therefore necessary
for Miss Stoer to show. I hat she was
"a member of recognized learned pro-
fession. or that no unemployed per-
sons capable Of doing the particular
kind of work it was intended she
should perform could be found here.

COMMISSION
GOVERNMENT

1 ~
| Washington, D. c., Ded 22.-The
commission form of government is in
/ affect IN 81 of the 204 cities of over
i 2r,G90, inhabttapts.s Civil service reg
ulauons are app.ied to the appoint
nent of policemen in 122 such cities,
| including all these of more than $780,
600 Inhabitants. Poicewomen are en-
ployed in q cities. Municipal prohi-
bition prevails in IS cities state pro
hibition in II, and county and parish
prohibition in 3. In Is cities certain
saloons. are licensed to sell malt Ii
quors only These are q few of the
significant and interesting facts which
will be brought out in a report Under
the title of General Statistics of Cities
1915 to be issued in the near future
by Director Sam L. Rogers of the Bu-
reau of the Census Department of
Commerce, and complied under the di-
rectfonSof Mr.. Starke M. Grogan, chief,
statistician for statistics of cities.
The Commission Form of Governments
The commission form of govern
rnent now prevails in no fewer than
81 of the 204 cities estimated to have
80, 900 inhabitants or more in 1915.
These, cities are scattered through out
&c states in addition to the District of
Columbia, ranging from Massach usetts
to Washington and from South Caro-
lima to California. Five of them are
states east of the Aississi ppf, 16 in
northern states between the MISSISSIPPI
pi and the Pacific coast states, 9 in the
Pacific coast states, and "a in the
South.
/ The largest city at present operating
under the. commission form of govern
ment is New Orleans, whose popula=
ton is estimated at about 365. 900; but
Buffalo, with a population of. about
100000, has recently voted to inaugu-
rate this system on January /, 1916.
Next in order are Washington, D. c.,
with nearly $4,000 Inhabitants, Port
land. Oregon. with about $4,000 and
Denver, with about 250, 900.
In these cities the commissions
range in size from three to- seven
MEMBERSHIPS in st. Paul and Onra-
ha have seven members each; those in
San Diego, Cal. and Fort Worth, Tex,
six each; and that. in~Huntington, w.
Vo.. four. All the other commissions
are composed of either three or five
members, the great majority having
five. The salaries paid municipal com
missioners range from $500 a year in
Jackson, Mich, and Springfield, Ohio
to $1,000 a year in Birning Ala. y
and their terms of Office vary from
one to four years.
Dayton. Ohio, has a commission of
five members, which decides matters
Of general policy, and a 4ecity mana
GER, appointed by the commission,
who looks after the adm1nistra tive
work. The presiding officer of the
commission receives $500 per an
mum. the other members $1,000 and
the city manager $12,5oO.
The larger cities still cling to the
older form of government by mayor
and council. In all, 123 cities of over
10000. including all having more than
100000 inhabitants, are governed in
this manner. The mayors salaries
range from 500 per annum in Flint,
Mich, to $4,000 in New York City,
and their terms of Office from one to
four years.

The editor of the Picking Daily
News, which is a newspaper owned by
Chinese and is supposed to voice the
opinion of the Chinese government,
says in an editorial note attached to
large body of Chinese opinion, but
there is another section which regards
the association Of the European pow
ers with Japan in the advice rendered
last month as suscep3ible of another
Interpretation. The latter are inclined
to believe that the European powers
adopted the procedure followed on
October rs in order that they might
establish a concordium which would
have to be consulted regarding future
action by any of the parties in China.
This view is entertained also by most
foreigners Obviously, Britain, France,
Russia and Italy are incapable of de-
voting as much attention as formerly
tie more than express opinions should
they be consulted, but it does not fol-
dow that Japan will remain a free
agent in the Orient for all time, espe-

THE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T SAVE

Very considerable success is being
secured by banks and other fnstitu-
tions that run Christmas Savings
clubs. In many places people are wil1=
ing to set aside a given sum every
week for a. year without any interest
return. There are a great many per-
sons who simply can't save anything,
unless they join some such plan and
bind themselves by some kind of
pledge.
Such people do not plan out their
expenditure in advance. They take
The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1915-12-22

their weekly wage and spend it freely
until it is gone. Then they SIT tight,
live fscantily, and borrow money until
the ghost walks again, when once
more thay are in clover.
Such persons have a sanguine and
happy go lucky temperament which
fears not the future. If they can get
along, without misfortune or special
calls for funds, they may enjoy life
very well. But the rainy day comes at
last Unless one is to eat the bread
of dependence in later years, the saw
ing habit must become lifelong
policy. not one temporarily created by
the Indictment of a Savings club.

MORMONS CHRISTIANS.
BUT POOR ONES, SAYS
BISHOP PAUL JONES

That Mormons are Christians. but
not good. ones, was the assertion Of the
Rt. Rev. Paul Jones, Bishop of Utah,
yesterday at st. Georges Episcopal
church.
The Episcopal church is trying te
convert all the Mormon church, in-
stead of individuals, because, the
Bishop said, it is useless to argue with
them as individuals.
