THE COMMISSION FORM There is little doubt but the Salem city government could be conducted with great efficiency under commission form and with greater economy For that, has been generally the experience of the 380 or more cities in the United States that have adopted the cky manager or commission plan in some one or another of the various forms the idea has taken. At first, the idea was for ihree or more commissioners elected by the people, each one presupposed to be a special kt in his particular field and the whole number mesting for the passing of ordinances, like a city council; that is beinir both legislators and administrators. That is the Portland plan. Then came the city manager plan in several diff eren forms. That is the idea of the proposed new charter for Salem.; t Later has come the corporation plan, and more cities are adopting this idea than any other. It is also the idea being put forth in Salem. But with a city council of only five members, one of whom it ia proposed the other councilmen shall choose as mayor. ' But the corporation plan generally calls for a larger num ber of city councilmen. The Salem idea being considered calls for the election of the five councilmen at large. That is a gtxd idea. But it is not as popular as the one that calls for the election of the councilmen from the differ ent wards. At least, it will not prove as popular in the outlying districts. The people generally are jealous of their rights ; particular about the needs of their own neighbor hoods. This is but natural. The corporation plan is taken from the organization of a large company; the councilmen standing for the directors, the mayor for the president, and the other city officers for such persons as the directors of a large company choose for the heads of the various departments; men skilled in their special lines. Salem is, the graveyard of proposed new city charters embodying the commission forma of government. Three have been killed ,by the voters. - To guard against another funeral of the kind, it will be necessary to have full and free discussion ; and it will like wise be essential that the voters in the outlying districts be assured of the protection of their local interests and rights, or what they regard as their rights And a plan calling for fourteen or more councilmen, and elected in tiie wards, will have better chances of success than one with, only five men elected, at large.

Poor Stella was not to blame, and she doesn't know how I am suffering, but her father should have told both her and me that there was insanity in the fam ily, then. Oh, what's the use? It's done, and all that is left for me is to have as good a time aa I can and not think about anything too much. In other words, 'Take the soods the gods provide' and. if you can side-step trouble, do it Ring the bell, my dear, end we 111 crack a bottle of wine to our friendship. Don't look so pitiful. nlld.

'111 ring the bell, Mr. Armitage ut I cannot drink with you. All .he trouble that has come to me In the world has been through drink believe I that I would rather die than drink anything that baa al- ahol in It. You see. my father was always a very good father when sober, and sometimes I won- ier whether his drinking has omething to do with mother's eaving him. He says, however was because all women are weak and mercenary and they ike luxury more than anything ;lse and that my mother left him o go with a man who could give her everything that money could buy. It may not be a good thing to tell you, Mr. Armitage. and I have never told It to anyone be fore, but if I find that my father's theory Is right, and that all women sell themselves for something, I hall get the very highest price for myself. It may be marriage, for V think with marriage I might get ill the rest: it may be fame, sue- ?ess or just wealth. Now, please, let me take your ettera, for I want to carry them back to the office and put them on the machine today. And, if you please, I'll put on my lipstick again." Ralph Armitage, who had been looking shocked, now langhed un til he groaned, for it hurt his broken ribs. "Why do you want to paint your Hps again, you funny child?, Ralph Armitage Inquired. "Because ' I've been telling you too much about myself already. You told me the other -day if I didn't have my lips reddened you could tell what I was going to aay before I said it. Just now' I am so sorry for you, but while we have been talking, I have wanted to kiss1 you. I'm wondering if you saw that before I reddened my lips?" - The man on the bed closed his eyes and held. out his. good arm. Lynda bent down, nd her ceol lips brushed his cheek. She drew back hastily, for Ralph Armitage said, in a smothered voice: "I think I'm feeling, too 111 to dictate letters today. I'll call you up to morrow, if I feel able to do it then. Thank you. very much, Lynda, for coming-out." - Surprised and ar little ashamed, Lynda Fenton answered: "Good bye." Then she hastily went into the other room, where she asked for and pulled down the' little red hat over her shining black hair, and without another word. ahe. fol lowed the maid who waa there out to the car, which was.evident Iy waiting for her, and rode back to theotfice.

If Ralph Armitage was deceiv ing her, Lyn thought, he was do ing it onconsciously and he was deceiving himself as well. Then her face grew hot as she remem bered the end of her Interview with him that morning. She could not understand It. What had she done? She knew he had expected her to atay all day; and he had sent ner away so abruptly. Perhaor she abould not bave told him that ane waa sorry for him, that she would like to kiss him. But sure ly he should know, if anyone, that there were kisses and kisses. Hers were one of pity, and even if pity were akin to lore, hers had not reached that atate yet. "What made her kiss him. any way?" she asked herself. She was sure she had no feeling of "hunt ing a thrill." She merely wanted him to know she waa sorrv for jiun. tnat'e all.
