TUK "Good aovovmucnt Longiw" foniu'tl Mmulay ovoning stnrts off with n .good nanus but its iwom nuMHlntions arc fair sounding appeals to senthuout rathor than the niaturo dflibonitions of those who have studied the science of government. Many of the demands are al icady in the charter and in effect and the others would work no great reforms. The evils of our city governments, as with our state and national, is lack of responsibility and division of responsi bility among officials, who are elected, not upon merit, but upon popularity, and hence are responsible to no one but the electorate. What is everyone's business is no one's business, and hence abuse after abuse has crept into civic affairs. The commission form of government is designed to lvnietlv irresponsible government by concentrating all re sponsibility in the hands of three or five commissioners, who are responsible for the conduct of their. respective de partments. Lf ahything goes amiss, the responsibility is instantly located. Bedford being a small city, needs only one commis sioner a business manager for the city. No private cor poration doing the small volume of business done by the city, would think of electing a dozen managers. It would hire one manaiier atid'he would employ his assistants and would be directlv responsible for their conduct. If be did not make good, he could he recalled anil a new manager employed. Medford's charter could be easily amended so that the mavor would be the onlv salaried officer elected, and he be made the business manager for the city. An advisory board of couucilincii, serving for the public welfare, without pay, could act as the directors or a private corporation act, passing upon the more important subjects. As to the "good government league's" demands, public work is already let by competitive bids, and the cost known in advance: delinquent assessments are collected as closely as possible without working undue hardship: the registration hv in effect insures an honest election; the council has full power in liquor licenses, and can revoke a license upon violation of law and refuse to reissue: a public matron is an unnecessary expense to taxpayers, there hav ing been but one woman arrested in three years: home lalior is already stipulated on public work wherever pos pes sible: no advantage is trained by closing saloons at 10 o'clock, there areVerv few tiie saloon man wno pays -jiviuu a year license, is cniuicit to keep open until midnight. The police .judge can be sep arated from the mavor's office under the present charter. The Mail Tribune has kept close tab on city affairs. It has no iartieular friendship for the administration, and no wish to curry lavor with it. Hut it has been unable to find any instance of graft. It could point out many chances for improvement, and perhaps closer economy, but there has been no corruption and on the whole, the city lias been governed well. It is easy to pick flaws and find fault but so far the new league advocates nothing to justify its name. Let the league remodel the charter to make the ad ministration a business one, just as a private corporation would manage its affairs, concentrate the authority in a business manager and then see that one is elected. It would not only effect- material economies, but would be a .rmfif nfivm-risiMiiniir frti tlw otv the first in the countrv ....., ..... v - to adopt common sens'e public government, xius wouiu be worth while and not much ado about nothing. i DANGER IN DELAY. II K Parent-Teachers association and the school board call attention to the annual daimer at this season of the year of epidemics of contagious diseases and request that parents exercise the utmost vigilance with .their children and in case of sore throat or suspicious symptoms, consult a physician, lest the disease spread among the pupils. A lew weeks ago, a case of scarlet ina developed al one of the schools. School was immediately dismissed and the entire building fumigated. Such precautions arc neces sary, but are not sufficient to remove danger provided the parents themselves do not co-operate. The law makes it a physician's duty to report al once every case of contagious disease and establish a quaran tine. It is fear of the inconveniences caused by such a quarantine that is responsible for the failure of many physicians and the families affected to notify health offi cers of the existence of disease. Such negligence is criminal. Aif entire neighborhood often suffers from it, sometimes it results in the closing of all schools and widespread illness, suffering and death. Parents should realize their responsibilities and as they would guard their own children, so must they assist in protecting the children of others. At the first suspic ious symptoms, summon a doctor, both for sake of the child itself and for the welfare of all the children. It is easy to check disease if taken in time. It is most difficult if it is allowed to develop. It is almost impossible t stamp out an epidemic until many little lives have been needlessly saeriiiceu. Samuels. W. 1).
