terpBt in good guvernmeni, and ready to devote some portion of every day In the year to getting good government. It will have bad government. The form of Kuvernment makes no great difference if the public will is Bt-'anglpd by priv¬ ate Laziness or gre.-d, Kmporia had thc worst government it ever had under commission government; and now It Is having the best. The reason the town had bad government was because the town deserved it. The Leading Cits were not willing to put up their time and money for good government. So the fellijw.« who wanted offices for the .siilaries got them, and took the salarlea and the town got what its sloth de¬ served. Then the town woke up. Since it has been awake It has had good BO\ernment, When il goes lo sleep It will get bail government under any fi.rm. It In not so much the form of Miivernment that makes for success In Kovernin,i'nt, a.s it Is the kind of people who live under a government. The tlilnft to be desired in government is the .simplest possible machinery for the use of the decent people.

A Little Chat About "Good-bye"
T
HE telephone "Hello** has fallen into disfavor becaiise it is useless and meaningless. It is fast becom- ing obsolete.
The telephone "Good-bye,** however, is well worth preserving, even in these days of economy and efficiency. It gives a personal, friendly touch to the business or social conversation that makes for better relations. The cheery "good-bye** is just as potent as the cordial "good- morning." Over the telephone it averts the feeling one sometimes has of being cut off abruptly.
Say " good-bye " over the telephone as tf it were really a part of your conversa¬ tion and not merely a regrettable habit of speech.

The Seventh regiment of New Vork Is 110 years old, having been organ- l-/.ed in 1806 as a protest against the killing of an .\merlcan seaman by an Kngllali man-o'-war off Sandy Hook. The Forlv-aeventh of Brooklyn is a scion, so to speak, of the Seventh, Some members of ils fourth company got to¬ gether In Brooklyn and organized a reg¬ iment whome name was made from the numeral 4, the company number, and the numeral T, the regimental designa¬ tion. Both regiments have great records as flghters.
Dancing and "iD^tTy,—The Metho¬ dists at their National Conference seem to have lifted the ban from dancing and card-playing. In taking this stand the Methodists are only getting abreast of the times. Dancing and card-pIaylng are like many other good things—evil chiefly in their abuse,
"There is a time to dance,"
Generally speaking, that time Is In lhe davs of our youth. And If a youth doesn't dance, he blows off his excess team in some TTlher more undesirable wav.

Newspaper Writer.—Henry J. Ray¬ mond, the gifted editor and founder of the New Vork Tlmis: challenged the theory that the press was a profesaion. In his estimation It was a business to be so treated, a means of livelihood and thrift and earning nioney. Writing to ,Inhii Hussell Vovng, another famous newspaper man of the century agone, .Mr, Haymond once aaid: "There is noth¬ ing uf less cunsi-iiui-iice to !i publlc man than what the pap.rs prlnt'-d ahuut him yesterday—nothing of more cons.- i|ueiice than what th. y !na> print almut him tuniorrow."

Thus, men instead of be¬ ing made better by legislation are made worse by Its abuse.
