What is "Commission" Government? The particular plan of organization adopted in Des Moines is not the universal type. When the charters are analyzed it is found that they vary somewhat widely in detail. The basic structure of all, however is this: A body of five men (three in smaller cities, seven in Omaha) on each of whom is devolved- the supervision over a department of the city's activities. Thus in Galveston, there are four departments (the mayor in Galveston is not specifically assigned to one), designated Finance and Revenue, (2) Streets and Public Property (3) Water and Sewerage, (4) Police and Fire. The five men sit as a body in a deliberate capacity. All of the commissioners are elected by a vote of the whole city. Normally and logically they are the only elective officers, but a few charters provide for a separately elected fiscal officer on the theory that the audit of the commission's accounts should be conducted by an officer who is not one of their servants. Under the Alabama law7 this separate audit is conducted by a state examiner.

The Des Moines charter added to the structure what were at the time unknown and untried "devices" of the Initiative, Referendum and Recall measures designed to make doubly sure that the people would control. This instrument also included civil service and corrupt practices provisions and a scheme of non-partisan elections. These features, however, were all taken from older forms and they constitute no essential part of the commission movement, inasmuch as one or all of them are absent from nearly every law except the Iowa statute. The Initiative and Referendum have rarely been used, and of the Recall the most striking instances of its use lie outside the' commission governed cities. The only commissioners ever removed were those of Tacoma, Wash., and during September, 1911, the mayor and one other commissioner in Wichita, Kan.

The Galveston plan was hewn in the rough. Wide application has shown that certain adjustments must be made in localities to make the instrument thoroughly responsive to the will of the people. Here is a rather fine question in social psychology: How to arrange the popular selection of the elective body in such a way that every member of it shall receive such adequate scrutiny as to secure his full responsibility to the voters of the city. In Wichita the mayor was separately designated on the ballot, i. e., voted for as mayor, although under the Kansas law he is no more important, than any of his confreres but. the people thought he was more important, with the result that the interest in the Wichita elections has been centered on the mayor, at, the expense,of the other commissioners. To remedy this defect, a radical

step has been taken in New Jersey and Nebraska a commission of five is elected by the people and from their own number the commission-! ers select a mayor. Thus every candidate for commissioner elected is, potentially, the head of the city government, and, presumably, receives a corresponding share of attention at the hands of the electors. —From "The Short Ballot in American Cities," by II. S. Gilbertson, in the American Review of Reviews, for January. d&w

FOR IDE MOON,

THOUGHT IT WAS FIDE

Department Called Out at Midnight By Night Watchman As the Yellow Moon Went Down

The firemen are keeping it to themselves, but it really is not a serious matter, but on the contrary it shows their alertness. The joke is really on the night watchman, Mr. Parish, and he was doing his full duty.

The firemen went moon-hunting Thursday night just at, 12 o'clock. They were not successful in putting the moon out. but it was still on the run when they returned to the department building, and is probably still going.

As the big, yellow moon went down in the western sky at midnight. it had the appearance of a big blaze over in the northwest part of the city. The night, watchman diagnosed it as a fire, and the opinion of others coinciding with his, he made tracks to a telephone and sent in an alarm. In a few moments the wagons were rattling over the paved streets and frozen gravel, with a man hanging on here and there, w^liile other members of the company came hurrying from every direction, dressing as they ran. When over about Franklin street some of them "caught on," and eased their gait considerable, as they realized from the experience of their childhood that it would be useless to expect to get the moon on their visiting list. Of course they felt some foolish and did not make their return to headquarters more prominent and conspicuous than was necessary and were all good humored about it, declaring Mr. Parish a brick for doing his full duty, as it appeared at the time.

They have nothing whatever to complain of and slept all the better for the midnight- exercise, except Robert Fair, who secured a "bum" hold on the fire wagon, dragging his foot over the frozen ground in such a manner that it was necessary to call a physician later. His injuries are not considered of a serious nature, however, and lie will probably be "up and doing" in a few days.

A Crown for the Teacher. A city man said he has the highest opinion of the country girl who has an ambition to teach school.

Charles Durham, Lovingfon, 111., has succeeded in finding a positive cure for bed-wetting. "My little boy wet. Ihe bed every night clear thro' on the lloor. I tried several kinds of kidney medicine and was in the drug store looking for something different to help him when I heard of Foley Kidney Pil.ls. After he had taken them two days, we could see a change, and when he had taken two-thirds of a bottle he was cured. That is about six weeks ago, and he has not wet in bed since." M. C. Quigley.

In Hfcmoriam.

In loving remembrance of our dear wife and mother, Mrs. Christien Buchfink, who departed this life one year ago, December 31, 1910. One sad year has passed away We saw her sufferings, heard her sighs With aching hearts and weeping eyes When one we loved and dearly prized, Lay cold in death before our eyes. My home is broken, my heart is said, Heaven now has my treasure Friends may think the wound is healed, But, little do they know7 the sorrow7 That lies within my heart concealed For the one I loved but could not save Has forever passed away. God loved her, too, and Ho thought best To take her home lo be at rest. —-From her Loving Husband d&w and Children.

We notice that someone has revived the old, old question—what docs it cost to raise a bushel of corn? The best answer is this—it costs what it costs, more some years than others, depending altogether on the weather and with just what skill the corn land is handled. Tt is easy enough to figure on the work necessary lo produce an acre of corn, but upon fhe number of bushels that acre produces depends Ihe cost per bushel. Someone says, for the past five years it has cost forty-three eenls to produce one bushel of corn. This, we suppose, is a sort of an average.

O. M. Easfes has bought the John Andis farm of forty acres, west of Ihe city. Tl is the farm formerly owned by William Tague, of this city.
