The Ladies and Commission Govern
ment

In view of the fact that the ladies
of Gardiner are now enjoying equal
suffrage with the men and that they
are about to vote for the first time
in municipal election we have asked
for an expression of opinion from the
two ladies whose articles are given
below and recommend their perusal
not only by the new voters but by the
men as well.
Mrs. Edith Lunt Smith says: AT
the time of the establishment of Com
mission Government in Gardiner,
government by commission was so
new. so entirely different from the
old form of city government, and
there was so much opposition array
ed against it. that it really has had
a hard fight and if it has not ae-
complished all that its friends and
advocates hoped for it. perhaps it
has served as a stepping stone to
something. better and more ,satisfac-
tory. In the language of Tennison,
cities, like men may rise on stepping
of their dead selves to higher
things"
The old form of city government
was not success, therefore l do
not see anything to warrant a re-
turn to that. 1t may be that better
form of government yet remains to
be worked out, but just what that
form will be. I am unable to say.
Perhaps a modified form OF Commits
sion government might prove more

it is not SO much the form of gov.
