The Lafayette team, leaders in the
Masonic Duckpin League, was beaten
in last nights match in that circuit
by a big margin. Lafayette dropped
all three contests, Stansbury proving
its master. 1t was mainly due to the
fine bowling of Pop" HALEY that
Stansbury was able to make its sweep.
The veteran pinspiller. rolling in the
anchor position. knocked down 100 pins
in his first game. 124 in his second and
III in the third. 1t was the first time
this season that the Lafayette team
has been subjected to such defeat.
The STATIONS won from the Reso-
lutes by two games to one, Allen lead
ing the winners with scores of 101. III
and 1o4. The three games gave Allen
a total Of 322 for the set.

Vote on -Four Forms
of Government.

a mayor with a council elected at large
and a mayor with part of the council
elected at largo and part from the
wards. The last form was adopted.
Under 1t Salem now has. instead Of a
commission OF five. a mayor elected at
large, five aldermen elected at large
and six aldermen elected one from
each Of six wards Under tho COM
mission plan all heads Of departments
were appointed by the commission.
Under the new plan heads of depart
ments are appointed by the mayor. but
must be confirmed by the council. Re-
movals can only be made by majority
of the council on recommendation of
the mayor The theory Of centralized
carded Instead. the business of the
town is conducted by the mayor and
five aldermen. answerable to the whole
city, and six aldermen answerable to
their own wards.
The old "city hall gang" at Salem
is happy and the reformers are in the
doldrums. a situation just opposite
that of three years ago. On the other
hand, the reformers are now the at
lacking party and the city hall crowd
are on the defensive. Criticism of city
government will come from the camp
that spent three years defending city
government, and from them, also, at
the earliest possible moment, will come
an effort to redeem" Salem, as they
term 1t. from the isolated distinction
of being the only backslider in the
commission government family.

Dodge Secret Service Men.

A favorite method Of relaxation with
Mr.. Taft was to try to give the slip to
the secret service men detailed to guard
him and stroll alone along Pennsylva-
MIA avenue, F street, 18th street or
some Of the residential streets of
Washington. President Wilson has
much the same desire to mingle with
the crowds unattended by secret serv-
ice guards, and the President often may
be seen gazing in store windows along
the business thoroughfares or strolling
through the parks or along fashion
able Connecticut avenue. Not long ago,
while enjoying one Of these strolls-
for the President never hurries-he
narrowly escaped being run down by

Famous "Tennis Cabinet"

In addition to being an enthusiastic
horseman, a hunter of renown, a pedes-
TRAN almost unequaled and boxer and
wrestler Of marked ability, President
Roosevelt was an advocate of tennis,
and played a game such as few ANA
tours may hope to equal. Everybody
has heard of the tennis cabinet" that
half mythical. half-real body which
was said-with some truth-to be con-
suited on many weighty questions.
That cabinet" included Clifford Pin
chot, James Garfield and half a dozen
other tennis enthusiasts Now, even
the courts have disappeared to make
room for additions to the Offices. and
not a member Of the tennis cabinet"
remains in public life.
All Of the Presidents Of recent ad-
ministrations have enjoyed the theater.
AS far back as the time of President
Harrison White House box parties at
Washington theaters were of frequent
occurrence. Mckinley. Roosevelt, Taft
and President Wilson have all been
theatergoers. None of them, however.
White House, attended Unfortunately.
President Roosevelt, as might have
been expected, enjoyed productions Dor
dering on the melodrama, with plenty
Of action and out Of doors. Plays like
THE Vfrginian," with Dustin Farnum
in the title role, suited him. Mr.. Taft's
tastes inclined to Shakespearean plays
productions. President Wilson is the
first President to show strong prefer
ence for vaudeville, and any one watch
ing him during a performance at Wash
ington's biggest vaudeville theater can
easily see that he Is enjoying himself.

Heavy Expense.


homo owners. had to bear an enormous
expense. Pavings had to be relaid
Sewers had to be reconstructed. Great
numbers Of additional laborers had to
be employed. Tho force Of every city
department had to be instantly ex-
panded-and tho money ran out. When
the smoke had cleared away-literally
and hguratively-the city commission
sat down and faced the future. Thou
sands Of things had to be done Many
things that had been done had not vet
been paid for. Looking ahead only a
year the commission realized 1t would
have to have about one-third more
money than It had spent in the preced-
ing year.
For a reform administration that has
ridden into ONCE on a pledge Of economy
this was unfortunate. One Of the princi-
pal arguments when tho reformers plead
with tho people to vote for commission
government was that it would be cheap
er than the old system. One OF the prin-
cipal criticisms Of the commission by the
old faction was that the new plan cost
the city more. Retrenchmept and reform
had been promised. but now the commits
sion could not retrench. With q malicious
grin and vengeful eye the enemy was
watching to see what would happen in
this crisis in the life Of the Commission.

menting the dissatisfaction. Here was
their opportunity to discredit the COM
mission. They blamed the form Of gov
eminent and the commission. instead of
the fire. for the increase in taxes. In
three days thousand voters signed a
petition for a change from the commits
sion plan back to the old system
Friends of the commission were fighting,
too, and trying to explain that 1t was
the peculiar situation of the town. and
not the form of government. that was
to blame. That criticism and opposition
were widespread is indicated by the
petition of 1000 voters. Such a petit
ton could not be obtained in such a
short time unless feeling was running
high and wide
When the contest was at its height
the commission brought more condem-
nation on it's head by the assessors
untactful handling of complaints of
property owners about their assess
ments. The opponents Of the commits
sion system succeeded in having a ref
erendum election called for last No
vember, for settlement of the contro-
versy at the polls. and they defeated
commission government by the scant
majority Of $50 in a total of about TO-
900 votes.

afternoon by delegation from the

mize in some other department of the
Carnegie library in fixing the budget
next year and to pay the librarian,
Miss Mcpherson. S100 per month, Mrs,

council took the matter under advise
ment, but from a discussion following
the members seemed to feel that too
much money was being expended upon
the library.
Mrs. Dockery, representing the Good
Citizenship club, stated that that club
had guaranteed to pay n portion of the
salary of the librarian as had also the
Fortnightly club and that the Column
bian club was to take up the matter

was to be made up for period OF four
months.

Governor Alexander and eN-Gover- !

stated when interviewed today Both
are leading Democrats of Idaho and
have been active in the party's affairs.
When asked for statements they did
not hesitate to declare where they
stood in the matter OF permitting the
party as whole determining its poll
cies and selecting those they wish to
represent them, They look upon the
primary within their party as the mo
dium by which the people may express
themselves. The Democratic state ceh-
tral committee win meet here March
for the purpose of determining where
the next Democratic state convention
shall be held and when. The coIh-
mittee may also decide how the dele
gates to the state convention will be
elected by the counties. 1t may declare
fer Il party primary or leave the mat
ter of selecting delegates optional with
the county organization.
