FORGED 10 THOS Commission Form of -Municipali-, ties Is Becoming Popular in _ Great Britain WARD SYSTEM GOING TO THE DISCARD (United Press.) London, Jan. 10.—The cataclysm of a world war hag forced England to apply real American methods to her government. Lloyd George's reorgan- ized cabinet is but a glorified Ameri- can city council under a commission form of- government. England, as a nation, was faced with exactly the same problems that confronted hundreds of American cit- ies before the advent of the Galves- ton and Des Moines plans for admin- istering municipal affairs. Great Brit- ain had a council that was unwieldy; its decisions were taken after ridicu- lously long debates and the mistakes it made could not ‘be traced to any responsible source. Such was the condition of affairs in Des Moines, Ia., and other Ameri- can cities during the time they labor- ed under the old ward council govern- ments. English people for two years have watched the government pile one mis- adventure upon another, but the cost to them was not represented in money but in the lives of the nation’s best men. In one short week Lloyd George, England’s strong man, wiped out an inefficient, ward council plan of gov- ernment and substituted the commis- sion of five men, who are held di- rectly responsible. for the conduct of the nation’s affairs. , Each controls certain portions of the-country's busi- ness and each commissioner, or cab- inet member, has been proved capa- ble. There ‘also is a queer analogy be- OurMost Critical Customers “tell'us they never bot nicer evap- orated peaches ‘than w sell at 2 pounds for 35c.

Six acts are to be introduced jinto the state legislature, now in ses- ion, regulating the amount of booze that may be shipped into Colorado, and the manner of its transportation.” POOL HALL MEN MEET HERE NEXT WEEK 10 State Organization Will Ask Re- peal of More Drastic Fea- tures of Statute Representatives of North Dakota's 797 pool hall men will assemble at the Commercial club rooms next Tuesday to decide upon an active campaign for the repeal of the more drastic feat- ures of the Sunday closing laws, whose result, if enforced, will be to cut out day of the week. Bismarck pool hall proprietors are much interested in the movement, and they anticipate there will be here quite a general representation from all parts of the state. James E. Regan of Mandan, father of the movement, has sent broadcast a letter in which he states: “As you are doubtless aware, prac- tically every interest in this state is organized on some form or other. The pool and billiard men have never or- ganized and have never been repre sented before the legislature, and the |result has been that laws have been ‘passed which now make it impossible to do a profitable business in our line without in some way infringng upon jthe adverse laws that have been pass- led. Heretofore, these laws have not affected us so badly for the reason that only in scattered territory were they enforced. We have now receiv- ed word that all of them will for the next two years, or in any event, during the term that William’ Langer is ut- torney general be enforced to the let- ter, and any proprietor who opens his | place and takes a cover off of the; ,table on Sunday will be ‘prosecuted to the limit. “With this and many other matters in mind, it is considered tme that we organze to protect our interests. Le- gal counsel has been arranged for and ‘preparation made to. give our side a hearing before the present legislature, to the result that we hope to get some of these specially obnoxious laws re- pealed and endeavor to see that no more are passed.” « Qhrietuat Tanking Cheb. - Tt ie the easy, way to ‘HAVE MONEY.

Arguments for Herbert were that a cabaret is a performance for profit, and that therefore Herbert is entitled | to royalties. To support the perform- ance—for profit plea advertisements of Shanley’s were introduced, in which the words “cabaret extraordinaire” | were used.

The younger sister is not merce- nary. Although the junior partner, a clean-cut, earnest young man, shows his regard, the fact that she does not love him is sufficient to dismiss him from mind as her future husband. ; When she refuses to marry him, her sister remonstrates with her for mis ing a chance to become the wife of a rich man, and when the senior part- ner tells the widow to call at his house that evening, to take dictation, she does so, after telling the younger girl that if he proposes to her she certainly will not reject him.
