HOW WARD LINES WORK AGAINST THi COMMUNITY A 8 A WHOLE "recently the City Council had up the matter 0| retrenchment and economy In the public service, and for a time It looked w If a satisfactory program wore going to be put through. But ward lines and political manipulation quickly took the wind out of the sail* of the proposed program. It was only necessary to whlaper to the various coundlmen from the vari ous wards what waa going to hapix-n to thalr wards In the way of patron age and they began to see things In A different light. As one of the coun cilman said afterwards, when he changed his position and vote In the matter, "I am from Missouri, und 1 have been shown." And this Is why It Is Hlmnst Impoe alble to put the city's business on a business basis under the old plan of ward lines und ward representation. It means to withdraw patronage from a ward or a rounctlmun. and he Is willing to vote for the other fellow's patronage, provided his own Is not In terfered with, and this doubles and quadruples the bills that the city aa a whole has to pay. Every ward and every councilman wants his proportionate share of put ronage under the old system, and they must have It. It la immaterial If one ward needs It and the other docs not. They all muat have It, and when once they get It, you may be sure they will Mvcr let it go. To cut the appropriation for keeping up the a.reets of tha city affects the whole city, and yet that was about the bast big saving, which, of course. Is only temporary, that the City Council was able to accomplish. Anything that touches the ward patronage or the counctlmanlc patronage haa little chance before the average city coun cil. "THE CULT OF IMPROPRIETY." Loudon Truth Is throwing great fits over the erase for things which are not respectable. No one can have watched the life of our cities for the last few years with* out noticing the extraordinary rggv. says Truth, not only unions men bul quite ae strongly among women. Truth goes on to expatiate "Ten years ago every chorus girl wanted to look like a duchess; and her notion of n duchess, if perhaps a little highly colored, was yet remarkably like the current idea of a gentlewoman Nowadays the chorus girl goes her own way. seta her own fashions, makes her own customs, secure of having all our duchesses assiduously Imitating her so soon as her new coiffure or her extra Igrh of knee have been displayed on the stage. There was a time when i» theatrical dressmaker never dreamed of drawing any custom from the world of grreat ladles Now their books are crowded with titled customers, who a>e aOXtoiMi to look as much like Tott> Tips or Lotty Lacks as possible, and would even undergo an operation If they could thereby get the same ado lescent emile." There Is a very clear explanation ot all this. The chorus girls were cap turing tba titles and the duchesses found It neceosary to learn their tricks. What most of us refuse to admit la that '■respectability" really does Head a check now and then, Just to keep It from growing altogether hypocritical and Impossible, We feel no alarm at the tendencies of our present days, for the very rea eon that we recognise them aa a spasm of reaction from attempts to get everything Into hard form. Rome tlmea the extreme* to which we are ewlnglng make u* a little dlxay, but It la a good plan at euch horrified mo menta to look backward and calculate how far the pendulum will swing again when the turning point come*. These days are days of destruction. I‘recedent and customs are defied. The world la out for an adventure. Folk* are seeking new paths and finding their own separate ways to their own separate goals—"A mad world, my masters," but so It has been from time to time since It was first sent whirling off Into sparr.

F.llsworth has again started a new movement which promises to success fully sweep over Maine, aiding mater ials In agricultural development. Home little time ago H. B. Holme*, di rector and financial agent of the Un ion trust company, conceived the Idea of promoting agricultural extension and expansion In Hancock and Wash ington counties, and more especially In Hancock. As a means toward thla ciul Mr. Holmes designed a scheme for prtxea being awarded to boys and rtrls of agtlculturol clubs, producing (lie best agricultural results for the coining year Agricultural cluba for bov s and girls have been a state grange plank for the past two year*. Hut little notice haa been taken of It In (his section The proposition w»s presented to the board of directors of the Union trust company this week, wlicn II wna unanimously voted that *4»>rt In prises be offered by the bank as a starter The contests for the boys and girls Ims been placed In the hands of the extension department of ihe university of Maine, the details of which will shorllv be announced by that body. Not only is the example of the Union trust n good one to place before the younger peo(de of the coun try, but It Is thought thut the gener ous movement will be quickly and generously followed by other Institu tions throughout the slate It Is a good beginning, a move in the right direction, and one which ha* aroused a great deal of enthusiasm at the be ginning. Very lllile Ims been done In promote agriculture In Hancock coun ty In recent years and the move hy the Union trust company Is hailed wi:h pleasure hy the people of Kllaivorth. hy the farming community und the faculty at the university of Maine, under whose Jurisdiction the Union truat prise* are to be offered Vital Statistics Department of Public Hsallh. —Report for the Wssk Ending March 21. 1914.

From a High Democratic Authority Wo have lung been pHlrifully con* sclous that wc have fulled In the mat ter of city government. It is sn uge of cities, and If we cannot govern our cities, we cannot govern at all. We have now turned to u lielter way of eonsldorlng the whole question of the organisation of elty governments, and are likely In u generation to puri fy them by simplifying them, to moral ize them by placing their government in tha hands of s few persona who van really lie selected by popular prefer ence Instead of by the private pro cesses of nomination by party mana gers, end who, because few and con spicuous, can really tie watched Hnd held to a responsibility which they will honor because they cannot escape.— Woodrow Wilson In "Constitutional Government."

Hodgea, of A Kev That Unlocks The Heart A charming woman once told m* that when she waa a little girl her mother taught her that " 'Please’ un locks the heart.'' There really la not a more wonderful word. When carefully taken apart. Than this little sU lettered syllable, heard As a key that unlocks the heart. For you see as a key It will open the door . ~ To the best we can have or hold. But this Is not all—lt will do much more. As you are about to be told. When the door is unlocked with this all-fitting key. The pleasures revealed need not Just A Clerk Lord, I am Just a little clerk. That scratches with a |>en. I rlae and eat and toll and Bleep Just as all other men. The only colors In my life Are drabs and duns and Krays; Yet on the whole I am content To tread the beaten ways. But sometimes, when the tnld-sprlng mist Floats In the scented night, Strugs spirits whisper In my ear, And visions cross my sight. I see myself a gracious youth, In purple and bright steel; The golden spurs of knightly worth Are glistening on each heel. I ride Into a world of dreams, And with my pennoned lnnce | 1 pierce the mystic veil that hides The land of high romance. But, as I pass through Galahad's glades. Adventuring on my way, A ghost Is ever at my back. The ghost of every day. And soon or late Its horrid hand, That never yields or stays. Will hurl me from my lHnd of dreams Back to the beaten ways. Oh. Lord! some pray to thee for gold, Home for a woman’s smile; But sll I ask Is a breath of life. Once for a little while. Grant me. before 1 pass beyond, One chance i%play u part.

Is head of the national organisation that la pushing It, It .a only the bosaea, temporarily In control of the democratic organisation In Kansas City, who oppose It. “Shall tha People Rule?” Them la no Issue In this campaign except the Issue between commission government and hose government. In commission government the people can have whatever they want. In boss gov ernment the politicians tan have what ever they want. In commission rule tho people have direct powers. If s public servant doesn't make good they ean recall him. If tl»ey wish some proposed thing they can get It hy the Initiative. If they don't wish some proposed thing (hey can defeat It hy the referendum If the eommlssto-i attempts to “put It over" In spite of them. In boss government the people have no direct power; and no one public servant is directly responsible for any one particular act or any one particu lar failure to act. Take the much talkcd-of station park for a case In point. The present system of elty government could legal ly put that through oven though » litrge majority of the people did not wish It. Of It could prevent getting (he park, even though the people did wiah It. There Is no provision In the present system for the people directly to ex press their wish on such a question, nr to enforce their wish If they should make It known. Hut commission government would be powerless to put through the park project If the people were against It. And It would he equally powerless to prevent getting the park If the people desired It. For nil the provisions of commission government arc to place direct {tower with the people and to place the peo ple's servants under direct responsi bility to the people. cease.

The Sweet Potato Remedy From the Galveston, Tex., News. There ought to be a ready market for sweet potatoes at 50 cents a bush el. There is more good eating. Includ ing palatuhillty, hone and sinew build ing and blood nutriment. In a bushel of sweet potatoes than anything else on earth that can be had for half a dollar. There are hungry people ali over the world who could be fattened on sweet potatoes at the nearly nom inal expense of 32 a head a month. If there were plenty of sweet potatoes there need he no poverty In the world. Hweet potatoes are fundamentally more precious than gold or gems. If there were but one man left In tie world, or one woman, and one sweet potato und one diamond of the mme slxe, the human survivor would grab off the sweet potato and ignore the Jewel We strain after complex laws which we imagine would relieve mis ery and banish suffering from earth— und never succeed In getting them en i acted. If w> would only pass one sim ple little law, one brief statute, which would compel the head of every fam ily to raise 50 bushels of sweet pota toes per annum, the gaunt figure of hunger would In one year cease to stalk the earth and terrify the p fil iation thereof.
