In the last few months we have
heard good many people severely
criticise the present board of county
commissioners. We have not heard
anyone accuse them OF dishonesty,
but many have bewailed their extrav-
agance. Now, we have been in this
county for twenty-seven years, we
have seen commissioners come and
commissioners go. and we don't be-
lieve we have seen any better board
than we have at present. Every man
on it is a good citizen, a good bust
ness man and highly respected by
nearly all who know him. They re-
ceive each $500 a year or less. AT
the beginning Of every month. they
leave their business and meet in Ocala
for two or three days. and it is seldom
a month passes without an extra ses-
sion. There is at least one month
when they remain in session several
days, acting as board of equaliza-
ton. This year. they have been al
most continuously in session for
weeks at time. They have also put
in several days inspecting roads. The
money they have drawn from the
county treasury has not paid their ex-
/ penses, let alone for the time they
ihave taken from their private affairs
! Their so-called extravaganza results
from their trying to meet the needs
of the people of very large county
with very moderate sized revenue
Every commissioner tries to do the
best he can for the county and his owl
district, and there is not money
enough to go around. Marion county
as far back as we can remember, has
had pretty fair boards of commission
ers. But we can remember on them
some abutt-heads. some grafters anC
some drunkards. There are none such
on this board. They have made them
selves unpopular with some by raising
tax assessments, but this was 6
necessary step and one that will re
suit in much future good to the coun
/ ty. We think that if the people care
fully size them up and do them jus
tice they will admit they are abou
as good board Of commissioners a:
any county has, and much better thar
a good many.

MORE SINFUL IN SUMMER
Morality Varies With the Thermom-
eter, According to Head Of
London Police.

London.-"WOmen are proving much
more suitable for certain kinds of
police work than men," is the verdict
OF General Sir Neville Macready, COM
missioner of police, after several
months trial Of policewomen.
1.-THE idea of women police was con-
ceived about a year ago." ne added.
"We decided to experiment. The
women had the three months training
and when sent out were quite as eff
cient as the ordinary male policeman.
1.-The girls and women who came
to them in the streets when in trouble
would undoubtedly be too shy to APP
proach an ordinary constable"
Asked If the use of policewomen had
decreased immortality, the commits
sioner replied:
immortality varies with the thermom-
eter The evil is generally more prev
alent in the summer than in the win
ter and do not think the women have
had a fair experiment yet.
However, / am now arranging for
our winter campaign, and we are con-
sidering establishing hotels where girls
may be treated. Our welfare depart
ments report that % girls have passed
through homes and infirmarieS, many
of them being between fifteen and
nineteen years old. Some of the old
army huts may be used for this pur-
pose"

Gen. Kootepoff.

Kharkov, South Observation-Disclosures
American field kitchens OF the type

The kitchens are of light construc-

200 quarts of tea an hour, and 100
quarts of cabbage soup. AS the Rus
sian infantryman lives upon tea, bread
and soup, they have been received

A rather unusual thing for school
to do will be done when the Sewanee
Military Academy, Sewanee, Tenn,
moves to another state to finish its
school term. The main barracks Of
this school were burned last month,
and instead of trying to find accom-
moGations for the students near the
academy, or suspending until new
quarters were built the managers of
the school decided to move for the
remainder of the school year to our
neighboring city of Palatka. The
solid old Putnam House will be taken
for the accommodation of the students
and we know the boys will have a
good time in the Gem City of Florida.

boys. is student of this school and is
much pleased at the prospect of
spending the remainder of the winter

ILLICIT RHINE TRADE VAST
Berlin Writer Wonders Why Cologne
Cathedral Hasn't Been

DusseIdorf.-It is a wonder that the

DONATE CAMP SITE
FOR SCOUTS TO BE
USED INDEFINITELY

n. A Peterson, chairman of the
committee on the campaign for $685.
600 for the Boy Scouts, reported
at MOline's community service COM
mittee meeting yesterday the cam
paign closed. In the first three
days S1S,4OO was pledged, and
there was also obtained and &C
cepted something that was worth
certainly from $4,000 to $1,000 ad-
dltionaI, a company of responsible
citizens having decided to donate
the use of a suitable camp site for
the Boy Scouts to be used by them
gratis as long as the local organ
ization of Boy Scouts should con-
true in existence. This renders
unnecessary the purchase of site.
AT the end of three days it was de-
Ciled to continue the campaign
longer, with the result that $780,
600 has been pledged in Moline
alone. This sum will be brought
up to $22, 500 or more when the re-
turns from East Moline and Hamp-
ton are in.

News of the Day in Moline and East Moline
CHIEF SAYS THAT
VOTERS IN FAVOR
OF CIVIL SERVICE

That the proposition of giving
civil service tests to members of
the police and fire departments will
be favored by the people of Moline
at the city election next Tuesday.
is the belief of Chief Ben DeJaeger
and other members of both depart
mentS.
Chief De Jaeger bases his opinion
in the matter on figures in the cleo
ton in 1904 At that time about l.
500 voters approved of the PROPOSE
ton and only 300 persons voted no.
The plan was not put into effect
then because nearly 1900 voters
failed to vote at all on the PROPOSE
ton. At that election the question
was put on the same ballot as the
other propositions and voters
simply passed up that part of the
ballot. This time the question will
be placed on a separate ballot and
will be presented to each voter.
1.-The plan was new then" said
the chief. Few people knew about
it and it hadn't been tried out. But
today everybody has heard of civil
service for city departments. The
plan has been tried out in many
Illinois cities and l have been to
those towns and it has proven a
success"
The proposition asks that before
a fireman or policeman can be ap-
pointed he must pass a competitive
examination, thereby giving the city
the only efficient and capable men
on the force. Another argument in
favor of the plan is that the ap-
pointments will be taken out of
politics
