Its early prosperity, dating back FIVE
or six centuries. was due to its loca-

Famous Edlfice.
The town received its civic rights

Is famous today for its edifices of the
Renaissance period. while perhaps the
finest specimen Of late-Gothic eccles-
iastical architecture in this section OF
Germany is the church OF ST. Peter

great interest Is the Chapel OF the Holy

hooding of our market unless suni-
GENTLY protected tariff rates are
adopted, and to this end he urged
that in time of war we should pre-
pare for peace. Commercial prepar-
edness means the return to the Re
publican protective policy every time.
The Democratic campaign text book
contains declaration that the wealth
Of the country has increased sal 600
100000 in the last four years and
credits and figures to an estimate
OF the department of commerce" But
when asked in writing If it had made
any such estimate. the department
denied that 1t has made any estimate
Of wealth since 1912. So the figures
We're faxed. But even il the figures
We're well founded, they would make
a poor showing for the Democratic
administration. During the eight

Likewise. when II was suggested
to King who has been used on the
end to catch passes, and to break
UP the passes OF tho enemy. that he
might be useful in the forward half
position. the big southern boy reply
ed that he would switch without any
argument "Yaas, I'll take turn al

enough and fast enough, and skillfu!
enough to play almost any position.
When King was taken off the end
the place was left open for Allen
Brooks. who is almost too good to
play in any position Off the first var

there are two or more other good

Tho stage is being set at Atlantic
City for another great diplomatic tri-
umph." The policy of ''watchful
waiting" is to be indicated by the
results of the sessions Of the Mexican
commission. The troops are to be
brought home and peace" is to reign
along the border. But as we have
been kept out of war" il is difficult
to see just how peace" is to cut any
appreciable figure in new situation.
However. the agile minds which have
found so many other great diplo-
matte uiumphG" can doubtless be de-
pended upon to produce another.

SPECIAL THE rGLEeaNu,
WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.-In every
speech that Bryan made for Wilson
four years ago. he dwelt with unctu-
GUS emphasis upon the single-term
plank Of the Baltimore platform. He
urged his friends to vote for Wilson,
whom he presented" as pledged
to the one-term idea. It will be inter-
esting to note how Mr. Bryan will
deal with this question in the speech
es which he is 10 make for Wilson
this year.

tain limitations, was expressed by T.
n. Daniels. a member of the board, who

while SchooihouseS are for the edu
cation of children and the board cannot
permit anything to intervene. or permit
the use of the personnel. there viii be
no difficulty in adults securing the use
of the buildings for community meet

Growth of the Movement.

According to the latest information
available, six more such cities have re-
Gently adopted the plan by popular
vote. and in four of them it has already
gone into effect. Thus there are
eighty-five cities of over 10000 which
are governed by commissions at the
present time. These cities vary in size
from $4,000 inhabitants in Boise. Idaho.
to 465.000 in Buffalo, n. Y. and are
scattered throughout twenty-seVen
states. in addition to the District of
!. Columbia. ranging from Massachusetts
to Washington and from South Caro-
lima to California. Five of them are in
New England, thirty in other northern
states east of the Mississippi, sixteen
in northern states between the Missis-
sippi river and the Pacific coast states
nine in the Pacific coast states and
twenty-five in the south.
The total population of the eighty
five commission cities February ]. 1916.
is estimated at 1871, 900. or Al pee cent
of the aggregate population of the 1876
cities of 10000 to 100000 to which the
census statistics relate. Combining the
figures to cities of 10000 to 800, 900,
there are now operating under the
commission form eighty-two such
cities, with total population of $780,
900. or As per cent of the aggregate
population Of the 1874 cities within
these size limits.
During the past ten wears the com
mission plan has also been adopted by
many cities of fewer than 10000 inhab-
itants. but the bureau has not secured
data for such cities.

Expenses Exceed Revenues.

The council cities show a per capita
excess of expenditures over revenues
amounting to 80 cents in the fiscal
year 1913 and s4.G5 in the fiscal year
1915; and in seven of the eight cities,
taken individually. the expenditures
during the later year were in excess of
the receipts.
In the group Of commission cities
the per capita excess of expenditures
over revenues increased during the
two-year period from 80 cents to s137;
and in five of the eight cities, taken
individually. the expenditures during
the later year were in excess of the re-
ceipts.
In the group of cities which changed
from the council to the commission
form between 1913 and 1915 the ex-
cess Of expenditures over revenues in
creased during the two-year period
from "A cents to 80 cents per capita
and in four of these cities taken SEN
parately. the expenditures during the
