There appears to be a concerted effort on the part of the twin city pa- pers to throw discredit on the Dunn good roads’ bill. They claim that the funds coming from the one mill tax should be expended by a central body instead of by the county commission- ers of eighty-six different counties, They advocate roads that start from some place and end somewhere, As we understand the bill, it pro- vides that each county shall have at least one per cent of the fund and the remaining fourteen percent is to be apportioned where it is needed the most.. Further, the money is not to be spent by the county commissioners without eontrol but is to be added to money available in the county and the total spent under the direction of he state highway commission. It would appear on the face of it that the twin cities want to have one man at the head of things. It would then be a comparatively easy proposition to influence him so that all roads would lead to the twin cities. That would be fine for the cities but it is hard to see how it would help the homesteader in this county or the thousands of scattered over the northern part of the state. Government By Commission. The governor of Kansas has made an interesting and significant sugges- tion to the lawmakers of that state. He proposes a sort of commission gov- ernment for the state, to replace the double-chambered legislature. He would have one body, small and elec- tive, composed of representatives of congressional districts, no distriet to have more than two members. The legislature so constituted would sit the year round and devote its efitire time to the state’s business. Governor Hodges has no difficulty in showing that the present legisla- tive system is ineflicient and waste- ful. The' sessions are short—to the joy of the cit‘izens—and the rules and methods: of legislative procedure are generally absurdly unbusiness!ikg. As a result most of the statutes enacted are crude, ill-digested, full of knots ingenious lawyers busy for years. Whether commission government is as feasible for states as it is for cities, and, if feasible, just what form it should take, are questions that will || require a good deal of thougthful dis- cussion. Governor Hodges is not the first to propose a drastic change, but he is the first to propose a definite al- ternative scheme. He has rendered a service to good government by invit- ing a discussion that cannot fail to bear fruit. There is no reason why state g;a\'ernment should be strictly modeled after the. federal govern- ment, any more than there was reason in municipal copying of state forms of government.

Our counties have a half commission form since they are run by county commission- ers but the commissloners’ ‘servants, such as the auditor, etc., are elected, by the people instead of appointed b'y the commission, It might be well to amend Govern- or Hodges’ suggestion by adding that bills which affect general legislation should be in effect until ratified by the people at the next election. If turned down at the election, the peo- ple would then be merely using a veto power. edode ko ok dddok kokok kok kA dek EASTER, DAY OF UNIVER- SAL Jov. * X * x - b This is the day, my brethren, : of universal joy throughout the X Christian world.

Advertising enables merchants to bring hundreds and thousands of customers to their stores. It en- ables them to do a large volume of business at a minimum expense, Advertising establishes the con- fidence of the community, makes new friends, keeps old customers interested and brings the news of the store right into the cnstomer’s home. . The merchant who advertises continuously appeals to all the peo- ple in town, while the merchant who does not advertise sits within bound to-come before long, and the topic is worthy of serious and scienti- fic treatment.—The Chicago Record- Herald. Minnesota could profit by such a commission as well as Kansas. Al- ready we have many cities with the commission plan and more contem- his door and waits for the people to find him out or accidentally drop in as they are passing by. Advertising is such a powerful selling force and business builder that merchants who use it are en- abled to sell better goods at the lowest pyices, Read the advertise- ments in’ THE PIONEER closely and constantly every day for profit. e s LT ST TN THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. NRNX * * ; The cornerstone of the Chris tian church is laid in the empty grave of Jesus Christ. 'T'he res- urrection proves the death: the death proves the life, the lire the birth of Jesus Christ. Deny the resurrection and it is impossible to account for the e: Christianity. The resurrection proves our own resu tion. Empty as was the tomb of Jesus on the first Easter morn, so empty shall be all the grives of his people on the last great East- er morn. He is therefore iu the largest and'fullest sense the re urrection and the life.—Rev. Dr. R. 8.

The head of the house went to the city market to buy a fowl for Sunday dinner. He wasn’t an expert on age or quality, but had his mind made up to buy a young goose. Finding a pair displayed by a farmer’s wife he asked: “How much for the goose, madam?” “You mean how much for the pair, 8ir?” said the woman. “No, I want only one,” he said. “Can’t sell one i without the other,” she said. “These ‘ere geese has been together goin’ on 13 year and I ain’t a goin’ to be so un- feelin’ as to separate ’em now.” [While service was being held at one- ot the. churches an organ pipe «fell on the head of a worshiper.

No more barren tract of land coula be imagined than the Sahara desert of Africa, and yet-if the prophesies of our scientists are fulfilled it may be found to blossom like a rose at a very early date. It is calculated that the Sahara receives an amount of solar heat every day equivalent to that pro duced by -6,000,000,000 tons of cozl, and it is contended that if .ome eco nomical method can be found to utilize this lost solar energy this desert may become the factory site of the world of the future.
