The passage of the Works bill providing that cities in Minnesota now organized under the charter system may adopt the commission plan of government as first exploited toy Galveston, Tex., and later by some few other cities, will probably result in a number of Minnesota cities experimenting with . this form of government. The commission plan of government has made a good deal of noise in the world. It has been applied very successfully in a few instances and it has been heralded by many as the ideal plan of municipal government Whether jthe government by commission plan in cities will prove a panacea for all our municipal ills is a matter to be determined by , a much wider experience, however. , . , :" Noiseless Fourth. From the Chicago Record-Herald.

10, AN iRONCLADrGUARANTEE. "" I am tin favor of alnew city charter modernizing and system- ' atizing our municipal form of government, along the same lines as have been successfully inaugurated and followed in Los Angeles, Galveston, Des Moines and elsewhere. To acquire this, means years of agitation, education and work, but I shall begin this campaign at once. One of the most commendable features of this form of government is the "recall system," whereby any public official Who Is faithless to his trust, who breaks his pledges (made to get votes) to the people after he is elected, who betrays their Interests, who becomes corrupt, who re- - fuses to enforce the laws and perform his duties, is made to resign and submit his case to the people. To show my faith and belief in a popular form of government, and to add force to my , sincerity in this fight, I hereby publicly pledge the voters that in event of my nomination and election should I become guilty ' of any of these offenses in the opinion of thirty per cent of the legal voters of this city. I will, upon the presentation to council of a petition signed by thirty per cent of the legal voters of this city, stating that they deem me guilty of failure to live up to my pledges of this campaign or to perform the duties of my office as required by law, and specifying the same, I shall resign at once and submit my case to the people. J. B. GORDON.

"AN IRONCLAD GUARANTEE"? Now all this is all right in theory. We are among the hundreds of thousands of people all over the country who do believe in the Des Moines plan. We claim no credit for that. We believe that ultimately this will become a law in this state but we protest that this has nothing to do with who is to be mayor. We insist that the plank, as a plank in u platform, has nothing to do with the mayor's office at the present time.

Mr. Gordon cannot change the mayor even if he wanted to. He has to obey the law. And he runs counter to the law resign at once and submit my case

His case cannot be submitted to the people. The law does not so provide. This Is the sheerest demagogy! So he is either woefully ignorant of the law or trying to mislead the people. Undoubtedly Mr. Gordon knows that the people do not trust hlni. In cities of the fourth class (to which class Richmond belongs) when the mayor resigns the city comptroller becomes mayor. And in case there is no city comptroller the council selects a suitable man to fill the unexpired term. Mr. Gordon cannot submit his case to the people, i t . - . . Here is the law: "IN CASE OF A VACANCY IN THE C7F1CE CF MAYOR THE CITY COMPTROLLER IX ALL, CITIKS HAVING SUCH OFFICE SHALL ACT A3 MAYOIt." ACTS 1909, SEC. 2 OF CHAP. 138, PAGE 438. , And the law provides that the "vacancy" is rr.ado vLen te rcayor resigns and also that the comptroller fills the unexpired ter:n snI tlra.vs tli salary thereof. The only thing Gordon can do is to resign. And if he does resign it will only mean another rs.-n of his own choosing in office I For the controller is appointed by the mayor. Mr. Gordon cannot resign and then submit his car? to the people as his platform promises. For his resignation makes a "vacancy" and that vacancy is simply filled by a man of his own administration. He cannot keep his promise even if he wants to.

Gordon either knows the law or he does not. . If he knows the law he is a demagogue with a grand stand play that he cannot fulfill. If not he is simply promising something which the present law makes "absurdly impractical." He has promised things which he cannot fulfill. This mayor will have nothing to do with enacting the laws of the state. He may agitate but so can any citizen.

THE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT BENNETT GORDON IS OPENLY BIDDING FOR VOTES BY A PROMISE WHICH HE CANNOT FULFILL. THE MAN WHO DOES SO KNOWINGLY IS SIMPLY TRYING TO CATCH VOTES. SUCH A MAN IS A DEMAGOGUE. A PROMISER OF ANYTHING TO BE NOMINATED. ' A PROMISER OF THINGS WHICH HE CANNOT ACC ,-LISH. -' AND THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY GORDON'S WORD IS NOT GOOD.

Denver People Discover The Value of Civil Improvement

The citizens of Denver are fortunate to be able to create an unrivaled civic center at a moderate cost. The improvements as shown in the plans by their convenience and beauty will increase the property of Denver, raise the values of property and permanently give the city a rank as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, which it rightly deserves by its beautiful site and climate. , It is a matter of regret that so many important American cities have allowed to slip by golden opportunities of establishing a permanent and . beautiful center and have consequently been relegated by the encroachments of careless building into the background of second rate towns, conspicuous by their ugliness, inconvenience and provincialism. No other city in the country is made up so exclusively of citizens to whom civic pride and love of natures beauties have become a passion. Here no prodding or exhortation is necessary to induce the home owner and the man who rents to do their utmost to contribute to the general beauty scheme of the city. Probably in no other community is there less wordy agitation for a beautiful city and certainly there is nowhere else a municipality that blossoms and LATE AND IIEWSV TELEGRAPH HPS St. Louis, April 20.

responds to the effort of its citizens as does Denver. In every part, South, West and North Denver, Capitol Hill and Park Hill and the suburbs, without a word being said and apparently without consert, every resident is out working and spending money in a friendly rivalry to the end that his grass plot and flower garden may excel those of his neighbors. Even before the spring rains have come to clothe the citv in its garb of green, citizens are out with the garden hose and spade and trowel attempting to force the issue. Thousands of dollars are being expended in labor and, material for grassy lawns and flowery bowers and all without a word in the newspapers or a note of public agitation. It speaks well for the class of citizens with which Denver is blessed men and women who love the town and wish to see it bedecked with all the beauty which nature can provide. Out of all this individual and unselfish effort, springs yearly the "citybeautiful' the blossoming Denver, the community which thousands of persons travel thousands of miles to see.

GORDONISM; THE EFFEC7 ON CHARACTER AND - JUDGMENT If one attribute of the human mind is more important than any other. It would be hard to discriminate aa to which that one is. But it seems possible that the sub-conscious memory has as much, or more to do with the actual thinking of the Individual than any other. For the sub-conscious memory is like the sensitive plates of the photograph1 tm vhlca- are quietly fixed the unconscious Indelible impressions which, later oa go into the mind as a definite point of view or basis for action. What has this to do with Richmond and Wayne County? It has more than the average citizen will like to admit, but if he be thoughtful, he will at least secretly agree to what we have to say. We are speaking of the assassination of character, of the loss of a healthy point of view, in this community. One man is responsible for it. And whether this has been intentional or unwitting, he Is none the less responsible as its cause. The man is the editor of The Item and f lis name is J. Bennett Gordon. The mere name will call up a vision of ream after ream of paper on which is printed in vitriolic Ink the denunciation of anything and everything. Ream after ream of intangible insinuation, of distortion, of twisted and violent thoughts. It has been a curious spectacle to observe that, when there is a good chance to say bitter words that chance has rarely been lost. It is the fate and product of any mind which indulges in this sort of thing that it eventually becomes destructive rather than constructive. If you prefer it In the names of the street, you will call It 4knocking.,, The trouble is that in many cases the thing which was attacked has not justified the violent abuse heaped cn 1L There has been no contrast. Acid should be used sparingly and cn the exact spot not spread in an erratic manner. Pruning should be done judiciously, not with indiscriminate gashes of the knife. And this has been the trouble with Bennett Gordon, that he has not been judicial in his reasoning: he has clubbed where a few quiet words would have been better. Vinegar is needed now and then but when constant!)" employed, it is not healthy It becomes gall. If this were only a matter of consequence to Mr. Gordon it would be simply a personal affair. But it is a matter which has unconsciously affected every man and, woman in this town, whether they are aware of it or net. For the acid of vituperation,, nihilism and destruction has become so violent in its action on the mental sub-consciousness of the whole community that character and judgment have become affected. What means this general distrust of one man of another? Neighbor lcok at neighbor and wonders if there is not something "crooked" about him. The spirit of vindictlvcness has increased alarmingly. The storm cf abuse which wa3 hurled back and forth, both before and after a late election rss due to the fact that we had been fed on violent words on every possible occasion, justified or unjustified. The thing is poisonously morbid and mordant. It has insinuated itself into our very marrows. Of course tie policy has drawn Its popularity from the fact that ell ever ty.e country there has been a reaction against corruption in polU'cs pnd In society. But that does not justify an Individual violent p.ct coir.m'.ttPd in the name of reform. The pendulum must swlns as It has snc? ti e daxn of history. And If the pendulum is pushed too far in or.o direction, its swing back does not stop at the healthy average, but Tar on the ether side. Tlit Is the danger w&h the words of Mr. Gordon. Prejudice and antagonism have soured and embittered the good work which he might have done in restoring the temper of the town and county to its healthy poJnt of view. The seed has been sown and is growing. Where will It end? A . react ion is bound to happen. Shall this be violent or shall it swing slowly back to a healthy point of view? Shall the policy be destructive in this town or constructive. Build up or tear down? For no matter what you apply this to, you will find that Gordonism (or the spirit of violence) has entered into it Whether it be politics or business or the daily life' of the people it is there. In regard to the republican party the question is, "Shall you build up strongly from within or tear down indiscriminately from without" - ' 5 . - .... ,. . ., In business. "Shall you attack one another and be attacked or is lb not better to co-operate and work together for a common gain? And in the consideration of the business of the. city: "What will you have? Violent antagonism of old enemies unfairness of mental bias and instability or will you have a normal outlook, unsoured by prejudice, which is content to go about the building up of the city in all its departments?" 1 " The pessimistic view point, which sees nothing but bad in the world, is based on the hate of fellow men and not of their evils. For the mind which hates, obliterates all the good in life it even clouds the hope for better things. Such has been the policy which has led to the dispensing of acid broadcast in the town. It is not the thing to build on. It is unstable. ; - " . We are hopeful of the future and realize that the town to prosper, must be built up. The good will eliminate the evil, for the good . . must eventually triumph. Whether you consider man's processes in the saving cf the wheat letting the straw and chaff decay; or whether you consider the healing processes of natnre which when they cannot remove the dangerous substance, close around it and render it harmless it is growth and not revolt which is curative. ' (Jutting and slashing are harmful and do not belong to the skillful manipulation of a surgeon's knife. The recklessly erratic handling of things with sharp edges is as bad as the worst cancer in its effect on the body. And it is the body that we are concerned with. Bennett Gordonism in this community has had its share of tearing down, in hate. And that time is fast changing It is only human nature. It cannot go on in this neurotic, high strung fashion, not because we say so, but because the human mind, which is healthy, is prone

to throw off diseased outlooks. Look back at the progress of the human race. You will see that It is only the normal growth, the healthy building up which has been valuable enough to last. The froth that has gone. What we need in Richmond is what is bound to come. It Is a return ' to a sane and cheerful outlook, unmingled with spite and concerned only in healthy plans for the future. In looking back the people will see what they will have done unconsciously avoiding one extreme rather than the other., For one extreme is as bad as the other. And Gordonism is an extreme which, though it has played Its part, cannot be permanent. We say that this will pass because we have confidence in the ultimate judgment of human nature and the citizens of Richmond in particular. ' j ' If it continues to grow there is nothing short of a miracle which will save us from a reaction which would shock even the most hardened.'-. That Is why Gordonism, having played its part in the Assaac!natio& of human judgment, is unhealthy. Mr. Gordon desires to be Mayor of Richmond. "

Impressive Services The funeral services of Earl Henley yesterday afternoon at the residence of his father, M. C Henley, corner North 14th and B streets, conducted by the Rev. T. J. Graham of the First Presbyterian church, corner Tenth and North A streets, and Rev. Allen Jay, pastor of East Main Street Friends church, were remarkably impressive. VLr. Sharon Jones, president of the Y. 31. C. A., also made a very impressive address, . The services were as follows: Reading "Jesus. Lover of my Sou! (first and second verses.) v Scripture reading Tbess. 4;13-18, John 14:1-3, Rev. 22:1-2, 14:13. 21:3-7. Prayer by Rev. T. J. Graham. Remarks by Rev. Allen Jay. Remarks by Sharon Jones, Pres. Y, M. C.

He lived through another Eas ter,- and under the blessings of the Christian dispensation, provisions and promises.

TYou will agree with me when I ear he wss a young man with a fine sense of things. His choices show this. His attitudes were manly, sensible, loving ones. - "1 He had a fine sense of the value of his home. This was shown in thoughtfulness of and tenderness for the home relationships.' 2. He had a fine sense of the meaning of friendship. . He bad real friends. They arise to testify to his true worth. A fraternity brother who knew him in the academy and since, says, 'I never knew a boy nearer perfect than Earl was. So young and

old recognised one who was worth the knowing. '3. A fine grasp of the business sit us tic n iu which be was engaged was markedly developing. This Is the word of a co-worker. 'His was a fine sensibility . towarl the outward with a refined inner consciousness. 'He refused to underestimate the power of evil. This would come through a line of religious ancestry, thrcugh instructions in the home and further cultivated In the Sabbatii school. 'Temptations often beset the young men. Temptations lost tneir power before this one who decidedly wouli lay aside every weight and the sin which beset. His spirit was that of the athlete looking out on life as one in training, that he might not fight it one beating the air. 'Lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil, he had learned to pray and live. "Gathering up the testimony of par ents, family, neighbors, associates in office, fraternity brother and frienI. Sunday schcol teacher, Y. M. C, A. secretary and many others, so lovingly given in appreciation of a life not lived in vain or vanity, I offer these two conclusions: "1.

His Influ ence must continue for good. His memory will . be cherished in many souls. Of a meek and friendly and quiet spirit in life, he lired his life well and now the voice of his worth shall sound loud to the uplift of a multitude. Remarks by Sharon E. Jones. "Earl Henley was my friend. "These words were not coined by . - . - .. . me. but is tne common expression which falls from the Hps of multitudes of persons today young and old. The last few days I said to several. 'Earl Henley certainly had many friends, and the ready reply was, 'why shouldn't he? He deserved them, for he was always cheerful, kind and con siderate. You could not help but love him. "There is an old saying. 'Beware when all men apeak well of you., but that refers to one who would be on good terms with and associate with evil companions as well as good. Join ing them in their wicked deeds in or der to hold their friendship. "But here lies the form of one who had a friend in every one who came in contact with him to know him. He did not seek evil associates, but when any. perchance, was found within the circle to which he belonged. Earl used the opportunity to do him good, admonishing him to quit his evil habits and do right If the truth were known, many a young man in this town has had manly, christian advice from this, now silent, tongue. And. while he lay dying (so to speak) the last few days of his life on earth, such a testimony came to him in a letter from a former Richmond boy, an asso ciate with whom Earl had plead to cease his wickedness; and which he promised to do. "I have known him ever- since his childhood, and I admired him always because of his genuine manliness, good nature, and sterling qualities of life and habits. And when we took up the Y. M. C A. movement in Richmond Earl was one of the first to enlist in the work, attended faithfully all the meetings, and assisted In the work of raising of funds. , There Is no' doubt that his earnestness and assistance en thused others and aided much in rais ing the desired amount. He was s-j anxious to see the building completed that he could hardly wait, was often seen about the building watching IU BAD DREAMS Indicate . Improper Diet, Usually Due te Coffee. One of the common symptoms of coffee poisoning is the bad dreams that spoil what should be restful sleep, A man who found the reason says: "Formerly I was a slave to coffee. I was like a morphine fiend, could not sleep at night, would roll and toss in my bed and when I did get to sleep was disturbed by dreams and hobgoblins, would wake up with headaches and feel bad all day, so nervous could not attend to business. My writing looked like bird tracks. I had Indigestion, heartburn and palpitation of the heart, constipation, irregularity of the kidneys, etc. "Indeed. I began to feel I had all the troubles that human flesh could suffer, but when a friend advised me to leave off coffee I felt as If be had Insulted me. I could hot bear the idea, it had such a hold on me and I refused to be lieve It the cause. "I finally consented to try Postum and with the going of coffee and the coming of Pbstnm all my troubles have gone and health has returned. "I eat and sleep well now, nerves steadied down and I write a fair hand (as you can see), can attend to business again and rejoice that I am free from the monster Coffee. Ten days trial of Postum in place of coffee will bring sound, restful, re freshing sleep. There's a Reason Look In pkgs. for the famous little book.
