Denver last Tuesday voted to return

cities and towns in the United States
have given up the commission form OF

altogether too easy Of accomplishment
and too often apparent in cities Of this
class Five years is altogether too

recall has proven impotcnt to remedy
administrative abuses in most cities.
Aberdeen is reasonably well gov

but The Democrat is still Of the opinion
expressed last winter that the city can

could assimilate those three Danish
West Indian isles very acceptably. All
the more so because while the United

mark, some other European nation
might attempt to take over the islands
some time, and that other nation,
whichever one it might be- might not
be so friendly to the United States as
Denmark has been.

Press Opinions
HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD

st. Paul Dispatch In the debate be-
tween the railways and the trainmen
organizations we have seen no. convin-
cling reply from the former to the ar
gument OF the latter for the standard
eight-hour day. AS matter of fact,
there is no satisfying answer and
about all that the railways have
urged as an answer Is that the train
service employees are not really for an
eight-hour day, but their demands are
intended to secure increased wages
The controversy practically turns up
on this point The employees compos-
ing the four brotherhoods insist that
what they want Is working day as
near eight hours as it can be made,
but that 1t Is apparent that it will be
useless to secure an eight-hour day un-
less there Is some penalty attached for
oevrtime. This last seems obvious
Wherever the eight-hour day obtains
there Is an extra charge for overtime,
as otherwise work would go along as

been demonstrated to conclusion that

working only as long as every faculty

way a better citizen and better home
man than one who works for a period
longer than his powers can warrant.
Eight hours have been accepted as the
reasonable maximum.
