Thk greatest man is he who chooses the right with invincible resolution, who re sists the sorest temptations from within and from with out, who bears the heaviest Imrdenscheerfully, and whose reliance on truth, on virtue, ou God, is most unfaltering. —W. lv.

WHAT THE NEW RULE WILL DO. (From Collier's Weekly.) The purpose of commission government is manifest and simple, and may be stated briefly. It is a plan to take from the hands of the poli ticians the business of run ning a city by placing the city affairs in charge of a mayor and a small board of commissioners, usually four, elected at large. The list of virtues that have been attrib uted to the plan would more than fill this page. Reduced to the simplest terms, how ever, the claims made for the commission government may be stated thus: 1. More efficient and direct popular conttol. ta) Fewer officials to elect, making it possible for the voter to focus his attention on the important policy directing officials—the principle of the short ballot idea, (b) Non-partisanship in e’ections. Through this control, the elimination of the city boss. 2. More efficient adminis tration organization. By its plan of organization the mi nor officials are brought into proper subordination to the responsible governing body. A Biff for the Tightwad. (from Tie Meitetla Neve.) If there is anything on earth that gives us a longing for eternal rest and deep, damp solitude, it is the man who comes to a towu or coun ty, builds up a big, paying busi ness, grows rich and then squats down on the gold like a hen on a door knob, and is too stingy even to let the gravels grind in his own gizzard. A real, genuine 18-karat, stingy, selfish man can't be honest, and if he ever gets to heaven and has Popularizing Parcel Post. Officials of the I’ostoffice Depart ment are planning to send agents to county and State fairs to give the farmers hints on the use of the parcel post. It is an excellent idea. This branch of the postal service should be made as popular and as useful as possible. It will then pay its way and serve the ends for which it was established. In Eng land the parcel post brings the pro ducer and consumer into direct re lations. Housekeepers iu London order their poultry and vegetables from a farm, and housekeepers in a village can order supplies for an unforeseen dinner from London. Country shoppers go home with empty hands and leave it to the parcel post to deliver purchases. It should be an easy matter for farmers to secure regular custom ers for butter and eggs, poultry, farm sausage, spare ribs, vegeta bles, fruits—in fact, everything that they produce for the table, by inserting small advertisements in the newspapers.

The kind of men who build up a town and county and enjoy life and make the best citizens are enterprising, energetic and liberal men, who be lieve in living aud letting others live; who do uot, wheu they get a dollar, squeeze it till the Goddess of Liberty feels like she bad on a corset. Such squeezing is what causes hard times and stops the circulation of the American eagle. If it were not for our broad-guaged, enterprisiug men, it would be im possible to build up a prosperous city.
