HOW COMMISSION
WOULD GOVERN
(Continued from Page 1)
ascertain the best systems to use and
then set work to see which would be
the best for Oregon City. Are there
better filters? Are there better in
takes? Should wells be used, or
mountain water; or is it practical for
a city to sterilize the water by steam,
chemicals, electricity or the ultra
violet rays? All these are eminently
practicable in their spheres.
Having decided the best system
they determine the best one for the
given set of conditions. All the 101
questions that come up are solved
and solved righ; they are directly re
sponsible to the people, not only in
a political way but in a financial way,
being under bonds and they will take
no chances. Being responsible they
are going to do the business up right,
and then we are assured of good
men because we give them time, mon
ey, and power.
Do you think you could get any
man under the present system to be
personally responsible, politically or
financially? If you do, you would bet
ter study up a little and observe life
and how business is done, But if you
give him his time, give him an ade
quate stipend and the right kind of
power: you can get able men and
plenty of them. If they are not ex
perts, they can take time to become
experts or adepts. It is all a difference
in system and not so much or men.
The same men as commissioners could
beat their own records, good as they
may be.
Now to return, these men have de
cided on the system, and the cost
thereof. They are responsible and
have money, time and power. Ihen
they set about to install. Do you think
they are going to lie down now? Not
a bit of it. They are on the job every
day. If a tree has to be cut for a do
sion or a grade or special problem in
made, it is decided right and quickly.
The work proceeds a-pace, is done as
quickly as time will allow, but best
of all is done right. There will be no
comebacks, no kicking and no insuff
erable work, all are satisfied. If you
have a complaint or a suggestion, it
is heard. All this docs not go to a
sub-committee to be shelved over
to a main committee to be reported
perhaps, at the next council meeting
and then referred again, and so forth
to eternity. Action is had, and the
right action, and when the work is
done, there is something that the
people will never regret.
Efficiency is inherent in the com
mission form of government, but it is
not necessarily a part of city Govern
ment, as at present constituted. This
is the iault of no man, anymore than
a catastrophe of nature is. It is a
result of natural law. A cow is a cow,
tho you treat her as a queen, so the
present lorm ot city government is
defective, tho all may pretend it is
not.
Tho system in the French armv
would have crushed Napoleon had it
not been for the fact that ho was
the most extraordinary military con
ins of all times. As a matter of fact
it probably caused his defeat at Wnt-
eiloo. Had the army had the right
kind of system or had Napoleon's
governmental genius been enough to
cnange tne system, Europe today
probably would have been French.

Napoleon went up against the right
kind of a system and was crushed like
a baby. Had the allies used the Ger
man system , Napoleon would have
fallen long before he did.

A SUCCESSFUL SESSION.
Interesting Annual Meeting of Wash
ington State Grange.
The last annual meeting of the Wash
ington state grange was one of the
most Interesting of recent years. The
session was honored with the presence
of many prominent officials of the
state, Including Governor Lister, who
gave an earnest address, In which he
called attention to the very evident
purpose of the people of Washington
to dictate their own affairs and forci
bly declared that "the time bus gone
by when four, nix or eight men can
gather in a room and tlx the policies
of a party or a state." The governor
paid an earnest tribute to the construc
tive work of the grange and the bene
ficial results of its work in producing
a higher citizenship.
Much attention was given to the con
ferring of degrees, and the exemplifica
tion given by the ladles' degree team
of Beacon Hill grange was a delight
ful feature. The fifth degree was given
to a class of thirty-nine candidates by
the Stevens county Tomona degree
team. At the conferring of the sixth
degree there were 191 candidates,
while the work was witnessed by a
largo audience of Patrons from all
parts of the state.
A big banquet was served one even
ing to the delegates and visitors, ten
dered by the Patrons of the local
county. Seats were provided for 300
guests, and this was the distinct social
feature of the session. The Tontaine
orchestra furnished music during the
banquet, and vocal selections were In
terspersed. Addresses were made by
State Master C. B. Kegley, Mayor
Henry It. Spedden, F. J. Chamber
lain of Puyallup, President Howard W.
Stull of the chamber of commerce,
State Lecturer C. W. Frasee of Che
halls, State Overseer W. C. Ticking of
Sunnyside and Deputy State Master F.
P. Waters of Rice, the first master of
the Stevens county roinoua. This was
the biennial election year of the state
grange, and State Master C. B. Kegley
was re-elected.
Money For Farmers.
In these days, when so much Is be
ing said and so little done to give farm
ers money at a lower rate of Interest,
these ringing words from the north
west, written by Mr. O. B. Kegley, mns
ter of the Washington state grange,
are suggestive and to tho point: "The
latest returns show deposits in the
various postal savings banks of some
thing under $30,000,000. This can be
doubled Inside of twelve months If
our Uncle Saui will offer 3 per cent in
place of 2 per cent and loan to farm
ers at 4 or 4Vi per cent. If this were
done money would pour into Uncle
Sam's s:vinKs banks, and there would
be no need for all this talk about farm
credits." "

MARRY TO BECOME MEN.
In Korea Males Are Looked Upon at
Children Until They Wed.
The Koreans marry very young, gen
erally between the ages of twelve and
fifteen. For a woman to reach twenty
without marrying is considered a ter
rible thing. A peculiarity of these
weddings Is that they would appear to
be a matter of Interest to every one
except the parties mostly concerned,
who often see one another for the first
time on the wedding morning- This is
because In a Korean household the
boys are kept apart from the girls, the
father and the sons occupying the
front of the house and the mother and
daughters living In the rear of the es
tablishment. Moreover, in their social
life the boys are not allowed to mix
with the gentler sex.
The parents and friends arrange the
match in accordance with their own
Interests, and if both parties agree and
the bargain Is concluded the formal!
ties are of the simplest. There is no
religious ceremony and no legal con
tract. Early on the wedding morn the best
man arrives to tie the bridegroom's
pigtail in a knot on the top of his head.
This not only remains forever as an
outward and visible nlgn of his condi
tion, but entitles him to wear a hat for
the first time In his life and to be
treated ns a man and entei public life
He may be a mere child, twelve yenrs
of age. but he has no longer any right
to play with his boy friends and must
choose his associates among old men. '
Ho has -now nil civil rights and Is
expected to behave accordingly. If. on
the contrary, a man is unable to afford
the luxury of a home and a wife, he
may reach the age of fifty, but be must
still wear his pigtail down his back
has none of the advantages of citizen
ship and Is expected to play with kites,
marbles and such like. Any folly he
may commit Is excused In the same
way as the naughtiness of a child who
Is not responsible for his actions. ;
