Denver's Experiment
From the Kansas City Journal.


 The fact that Denver has repudiated the commission form by a majority estimated at 12,0O0 settles all question of it's opinion of the fad beyond cavil So far as the reports go there is no claim of fraud, nor of undue activity among the so-called politicaI posses. Denver had a chance to express itself and it did so in plain ana unequivocal terms The fact that it elected a mayor and council, and that the mayor is known generally as boss" ndi- cates that Denver finds even the boss system of municipal government pref erable to the socialistic and expensive commission form.
 It is explained that the experience of Denver during three years trial of the fad system was that there was too much divided authority and divided in. terests. 'The lack of standardization of authority, with each department head trying to get the most he could for his department was like five fire horses pulling in different directions : . This division of authority or lack of to plan a general improvement line, or do any cohesive construction work"
 It must be acknowledged in fairness that Denver's revenues suffered a loss of about $S00,0O0 a year on account of the state going dry, but this had no direct bearing on the failure of the com mission form except to show how futile is the fad system to meet emergencies without piling heavy additional burdens upon the taxpayers.

Country Gentlemen of the Old School Are Fast
 Disappearing
ARE FORGED OUT BY
 THE DRAIN OF TAXES
Forced to Sell Estates to City Men Who Have Made Fortune Out of
 s the War or in Other Ways. }A Wholesale Migration

London, May 20.-(Special )-"Country life in England will undergo and is ur- dergoing a revolution such as perhaps man conquest
 sIn these words recently Frank H.rst editor of the Economist" and one of the leading authorities on economic subjects in England, summed mp one of the most striking effects of the war. What he means is that the country gentlemen ot the old school are disappearing, squeezed death duties, and killed off in many in stances in the service of their country Their places are being taken by men whc have grown rich in supplying goods that are needed by Englands immense armies or who are making tremendous profits out of the necessities of the people by taking advantage of the conditions ere ated by the war.
 What will happen to the stately man. sions of England aften the war;" MT Hirst asked and he. answered his owr question as follows:
 In individual cases the answer de- pends on the investments of the owners A man who has invested in Brazil ol Mexico is in a specially sad way while the man. who has put his money in ships or coal is very fortunate indeed. But on the whole the fate of the landed gen. try and of the country seats depends on taxes.
 Taxes have already risen high enough to make it certain that most large houses will be to let or for sale, for most coun- try people before the war had places which fitted their income with a con- fortable margin for savings or special ex- penditure. Most of them will have to move into smaller houses if they can find tenants or purchasers. The doubling and treblng of the income tax has swept away the margin, and the higher the flood of taxation rises the fewer, country seats will remain unsubmerged

A man has couple of thou sand acres which have been in hts fam fly for centuries and he lets it out to farmers many of whom have been on the land as long as he himself These rents have been fixed years ago when agricul- ture was depressed and although times are good for the farmers now, it Is too soon to raise rents. No one knows wheth- CT thep resent high prices for agricul- tural produce will last and at any rate the farmers have a good many bad years

WHOLESALE MIGRATION

Evidently there will be wholesale a revolution such as perhaps England has not witnessed since the Norman con- quest. Some of the finest estates I ex- pect, will be bought up by English and American contractors who have made for tunes out of the war office and the min , istry of munitions Others will perhaps be, cut up by the labor ministry and par celled out among disbanded soldiers whose jobs are gone and for whom no other employment can be found
 The present public expenditure of the government is supposed to be about equal to the whole of the private incomes of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom put : together. If Alfred the Great had lived until now and had throughout his lone life of more than 1000 years burnt one 95 (S25) note of the Bank of England every hour of the day and night he would not have destroyed as much money as MT. McKenna is adding every fortnight to the national debt.'
 Mir Hirsts view is fully borne out by the men who are in close touch with the landed gentry. member of a famous firm of estate agents through whose hands most of the sales of property of this description pass, told me that hard iy week goes by that he is not called on to arrange the sale of some large country estate and that the smaller es- tates are being placed in his hands for disposal by the score.
 The country gentlemen of England ' he said, simply cannot live under the new conditions. Most of them are de- pendent absolutely on their rents for their

The First War.

The first writing known to scholars
was the account of a war waged be-
tween hostile nations in MeSOpOtamia,
perhaps 300 Il. c. The first battle
was that between Cain and Abel. APP
parently men have always been quick
TO settle their differences by lighting.
The first warlike king is said TO have
been Osymandyas of Egypt, who pass
ed into Asia ana conquered Bactria In
21OO Il. G. PalamcdeS BaCgOs is
mythically reported to have been the
first who ranged an army i'll II regular
line of battle, placed sentinels round a
camp and excited the soldiers vigi-
lance by giving him password. This
occurred during the siege Of Troy, the
date Of which Is vaIiously estimated at
about 900 years before the Christian
era.-Pittsburgh Press.

Finnish Grammar.

Finnish grammar is of difficulty
absolutely rcpulsivc. None of the 9th
or languages of the same group is half
so hard. lIungarian-nay, even Turk
fish, despite the veXatiouS initial i'm
pediment Of the Arabic alphabet-is
easy in comparison. The syntax is at
once provOkingly elaborate and per
pleXingly obscure. 1t possesses fifteen
distinct cases and twenty-fOur differ
entiated infiuitive forms; but, on the
other hand, there is no real distinction
between nouns, adjectivcS, adverbS.
propositions infinitiyes and participlcS,
SO that the student must not be star
tied by finding inlinitiyes regularly de
clined like nouns and nouns taking
upon them degrees of comparison like
adjectivcS.
