MANAGER PLAN OF
CITY GOVERNMENT
New on.poIidcaI Municipal
System With Hare Plan
Urged on Lions
CONVENTION TALK

At the regular weekly supper of the
Lions club at the Williams Wednes-
day evening Walter J. Millard ad-
vanced a somewhat new theory in mu-
nicipal government, known as the city
manager plan and also the Hare sys-
tenn of proportional voting. He re-
ferred to the several municipalities
that have adopted the manager plan
with success, and informed his hearers
that this advance plan of government
has been recommended for county gov
ernment and that several counties will
soon give it trial.
On the basis that it is only fair that
the minority should have representa-
tion in government affairs, as well an
the majority, Mr.. Millard illustrated
his system of voting by calling for
the nomination of several of the Lions
present, passed out ballots to all and
then proceeded to hold an election and
canvass the votes, showing the method
of taking from those who have safe
majority and giving their surplus votes
to those who are the next choice of
the voters.
The plan as illustrated by Mr.. Mil
lard proved very interesting to all
present.
Senator Callen was present to dis.
cuss with the Lions the date of the
meeting Of the Western Slope stock
men which was to have been held in
Glenwood June 8, but this date being
considered impractical on account Of
conflicting with the Lions state con-
vention, committee was appointed to
make other arrangements, with the re-
suit that 1.-The date for the stockmen
was fixed for Saturday, June 16, and
every effort possible will be made to-
ward most successful event.

DOCTOR HoRAN
HAS OPERATION

DR.. E. ]. Horan of this city SUBJ
mitted to an operation at Mayo Broth
ers hospital at Rochester, Mimi, last
Friday evening, and although he was
reported in a very serious condition
for few days following the opera
tion, the latest news from his bedside
Is to the effect that he is resting COM
fortably, with fairly good prospects
for a speedy recovery.
DR.. Horan's many friends in Gar

that the trouble from which he had
long been sufferer was not nearly
so serious as had at first been feared,
and all are hoping that he may soon
return, freed from the trouble which
has caused him SO much suffering in
the past.

DISTRICT COURT TO
take June RECESS

While no formal announcement has
been made from the bench by Judge
Shumate Of the district court, it is be-
lieved that the judge will be absent
about month and that the anticipat.
ed June jury will not be called and
that no jury cases will be heard ear
lier than July or possibly August.
The farmers are all so busy at this
time of year that it would provo a
real hardship to call them from the
farms to do jury service at this time,
especially in view of the lateness Of
the season and the scarcity of farm
labor.

Governor Shoup's Appointee
to Hold Civil Service Po.
sition Six Years
SWEET WILL APPEAL

Patrick j. Hamrock is holding his
office of civil service commissioner le.
gally and may retain the office until
Dec. 81, 1928, according to decision
given in district court yesterday by
Judge G. J. Morley, ruling in favor of
the incumbent against Mrs. Elizabeth
Quereau, claimant to the office.
The ruling of Judge Morley dismiss
ed the suit of Mrs Quereau and dis
cards her claims. She filed suit after
her appointment to the office by Gov
ernor Sweet Jan. 9, when Hamrock re-
fused to yield the seal to her. Ham
rock was appointed by Governor Shoup
Jan. 2.
That the case is not yet ended, but
will develop into a hotly-fought legal
battle was intimated, when upon his
being notified of the decision, Hale
Smith, secretary to Governor Sweet,
and on behalf of the governor, stated
that he would appeal at once to the
supreme court for, reyersion of the
decision.
Judge Morley decided the case on
the premise that "Governor Shoupawas
acting within the scope of his author
ity and of his duty when he appoint.
ed Hammock on Jan. 2. The appoint
ment was and is now effective"
In response to the argument that
Hamrock's term expired with Shoup 8
retirement and that the ex-governor
had>not the right to make an appoint
ment stretching into new regime,
Judge Morley ruled as follows:
"The supreme court has held, at
least implicitly, that in all cases of
this kind the office and the term runs
together; they are correlative." This
ruling, it is stated, verifies judgments
that Hamroek was appointed until
Dec. 81, 1928.
That the office and the term under
their constitutional Interpretation are
correlative and virtually synonomous
from practical working standpoint
was the contention of Hamrock's at.
torneys.
The court, in upholding this view
said in matter that Hamrock was ap-
pointed to an office, the constitutional
tenure of which extended from Jan. l
until Dec. 81, six years later. Since
the office and the term are correlative
and integrally bound together, the term
expires only with the ending of the
constitutional tenure of the office
which in the present case is Dec. 81
1928.
The plaintiffs were given ten days
by the court in which to file answer
Should there be a reversal Of the de-
cision by a higher court, Hamrock will
contest the claims of Mrs. Quereau on
grounds that he was also appointed
Jan. 8 and legally. 1t is contended
that through this standing on his two
appointments he has thrown his op
ponents between veritable "Scylla
and Charybdis," due to the fact that
he asserts each appointment by Gov
ernor Shoup was legal.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

So the best we can do is to accept
a makeshift and marry the man or
woman who comes nearest to our
ideal. But this substitute for our
real mates never wholly satisfies us.
They never wholly attract us. They
never have our undivided affections.
They only have our affections in
part.
This is why it is possible for
nan to have two or more women at
the same time. 1t is what keeps the
bachelor guessing and makes hus-
bands philanderers.
Different women appeal to differ
ent sides of a. mans nature. They
appeal to different needs. They ap-
peal even to different moods, SO that
if every man got Just exactly what
he desires he would either have the
one woman who is his mate and
thus all-in-all to him, or else he
would possess a harem.
The clingins- woman, to go
back to the illustration offered by
my correspondent, appeals to what
is finest and most chivalroUs in
man. Her inability to fight her own
battles makes him want to consti-
tute himself her knight. Her help
lessness touches his sympathy. Her
weakness tiatters his vanity and
makes him feel as if he were about
a prize fighter.
But a man doesn't always want TO
be doing the grand and heroic. He
gets mighty tired eternally wiping
the tears away even from eyes that
look like violets drenched in dew.
The sad and morbid woman, always
in need of comfort, gets on his
nerves at times.
Then the woman that he wants is
the bright, jolly, cheerful woman;
the woman who is always laughing;
the woman who sees the funny side
of things, and who bucks a man up
and puts fresh heart into him when
things have gone wrong with him at
the office.
Every man would like to have
romantic woman, who lived in the
clouds, to make love TO after he had
eaten a good dinner prepared by a
pra ctical woman who spent most OF
her time in the kitchen.
A man may fall in love with
woman because she is an object de
luxe, because she is absolutely a toy
and of no use in the world except
as a plaything. Her beauty, her ex-
travagant clothes, her soft. white,
manicured hands, her perfumed,
wavy hair appeal to his sense of
beauty. He would like TO have her,
as one would like to havea fine,
costly ornament to keep in a satin
lined box.
And at the same time he may be
also in love with q woman who is
not beautiful and who doesn't know
q thing about how to dress, but who
can take three rooms and make of it
home, and turn a bit of meat and
handful Of vegetables into rag
out fit for an epicure.
Or he may be in love with a wom-
an whose middle name is efficiency
and who is holding down a man
sized job. Or he may be enamorerd
of woman who is all tenderness,
and whose arms make a. haven
where man comes to port from the
storms of the outside world.
A man may love a hundred diff
ferent women for a hundred differ
ent qualities. and his only salvation
lies in determining which quality it
is that he really prefers for keeps.
And whichever one he takes, he is
apt to wish he had chosen the other!
