The special committee appointed by the board of aldermen for the pur post of. investigating the . tentative contract ' agreement between the city executive board and the Southern Power Company having decided to recommend the system of street-lighting contemplated In the contract, it is ' pretty" safe to assume : that modern street lights for Charlotte are assured. There is small chance that the agree ment ? will not be endorsed by the board of aldermen, although, as Is the case with every progressive movement considered, by the board, there will be some opposition to it. . Changing the street lighting system of the cty does not seem to be such a large and important proposition on its face. Not a great 'deal of money is Involved, the cost of the modern lights being only $4,000 a year more than the present appropriation for lights. Notwithstanding the proposition is small beside many projects handled by the. present administration it is tremendously important in Its effect. Charlotte wants to make a good Im pression on every visitor. It wants them to come back again, either to " make this city their home or to trade or - simply to visit; Our paved streets make a good impression. .Our busy stores and artistically decorated show windows make a good Impression. Our general air of activity and business makes a good impression. But when the visitor arrives here at night or goes out upon our principal streets at night, he receives a "distinctly bad im pression. Other cities he has . visited have better lighted streets. With brilliant lights on ornamental iron posts every 50 feet on every side walk uptown and with all of the pres ent unsightly wooden poles removed a very different impression will be given both to the visitor and to the Char lottean. After all it is. for the edifl, cation and satisfaction and comfort - of the folks at home more than an ad vertisement that the lights will be in stalled. The lights m all sections of the city, wij be. more than twice as effective as those in use at present. PROGRESSIVE ROCK HTLXi. The Rock Hill Herald yesterday af ternoon issued a Christmas and Anni versary edition of 24 pages and a most creditable and comprehensive paper it is. The edition is profusely illus trated, showing a number of the im posing buildings at Winthrop College, the city schools, business buildings of note and street scenes, the latter in cluding a view of Main street show ing a part of Rock Hill's "Great "White Way," the street being flanked by ornamental lighting posts with tungsten groups just as are proposed for. 14 blocks of the uptown district of Charlotte. The paper conta'ns a large amount of useful information about Rock Hill and might be consid ered a boosting edition almost, so en thusiastically optimistic is its general tone. The Herald did itself proud and the spec'al edition, is not only a credit to its publishers but to the Hve and progressive town of Rock Hill. - ' The society editor of The Chronicle has well suggested that those who are undecided about Christmas presents select one, two or more season tick ets to the three performances of the distinguished artists booked by the Charlotte Musical Association. The suggestion is a happy one. A person giving such a present will not only gjfye something ; well worth whole, something that will bring pleasure ar sweet memories to the recipient, but -will also be helping in a most merito rious; cause. The Charlotte Musical Association has put Charlotte on the musical map of the country and its officers and members d eserve the heartiest and most cordial support of the people of the city. "" ' ' "' . V,. The Chronicle Is always glad to publish expressions on public ques tions of interest, especially upon lo cal matters, from its readers, but communications must be accompanied by the name of their writer to secure any consideration. No communication will be t published unless the editor knows its author's name. The name need not necessarily be published, but it must be ; given as an evidence of good faith and for the satisfaction of any who may he concerned. This is an Inviolable rule of all newspapers of standing. ' ' ' J Don't forget to" use Red Cross Christmas seals pn'yd'ur packages and letters during1 tjiehoif day season. -The best way to do Is to buy a good sup-, ply right away and keep them : with you for use on all occasions. ' THE COMMISSION FORM. It Is said that there are some mem bers of the oard of aldermen who will oppose the commission form of government. '' The natural course of the board to pursue and the . course the board - will no doubt pursue, is to have an amendment to the city char ter drawn' providing for the commls sion form as the board may decide it should be adapted to Charoltte,' and then have this amendment adopted W the Legislature. If the project is op posed by some members of the board this may make it somewhat difficult to secure the proposed amendment, but it is hardly possible that the opposi tion will ' be of sufficient strength to defeat the proposition. ; - It is true, has always been true and always will be true, that every pro gressive movement meets with oppo sition. When the initiative and re ferendum were first advocated those who brought the new idea forward were regarded as cranks, as danger ous citizens. And yet the initiative and referendum is in" successful oper ation in many States now. The ini tiative and referendum and ; .recall, which put all authority in the hands of the voters and makes office-holders directly and immediately responsible to the voter, are ' part and parcel of the commission form of government. By means of their operation the voter is able to conquer the professional politician. If they make a mistake they can rectify it. If the laws pass ed by their representatives are not regarded as good they can annul them and make laws that are good. , "The professional politician becomes an obstructionist just as soon as he sees the position he will be put in un der the commission form of govern ment. His power is annulled,' his in fluence lessened. Demagoguery and bluff will not work for long under the commission form." Business is busi ness and facts are facts and the com mission form Is based oh business methods. There may be those who oppose the commission form because they think It will not work in Charlotte. It works in Memphis, Birmingham, Galveston, Columbia, Wilmington, Greensboro and numberless other cities which are prospering under it Why should it not work in Charlotte? Are not our voters as intelligent and as patriotic as those of other cities? irrriATivE, and referendum. Representative Charles B. Beaver of Transylvania County has adopted an exceedingly practical idea first pro posed by W. E. Breese, Jr., Democrat ic candidate for the office which Mn Beaver.. Republican, won. Mr.. Bea ver lias .been meeting the voters . of the several townships of the county at specified places and discussing the legislative needs of the county.. v At each place delegates have been elect ed to a final meeting at Brevard to embrace the entire county, when a legislative program will be agreed Up on. This is a practical application of the initiative and referendum idea and much good is bound to follow. It is hardly probable that Represen tative Beaver will attempt to get all of the legislation asked for by all of the voters of the county, but through the several township conferences and the final county meeting it will be easy for him to get an excellent idea of what the majority of the people want. The Chronicle ventures to predict that Mr.-Beaver will have one of. the best pleased constituencies in the State when- the General Assembly has passed into history. The Chronicle Is not at all Social istically inclined and draws the line at public ownership of many enterprises, but - it is glad to see Raleigh and Durham waking to the Importance of having their .water supply under mu nicipal control. Both cites have suf fered in the past from inadequate and unsatisfactory supplies and both are now taking hold, of the matter in a manner that portends a good outcome. A town makes an eternal mistake to' ever allow a private corporation to establish a municipal water system. When a town becomes large enough to support such a system. It should is sue bonds and establish the system it self. ' : ' .. , : Next May will be a great month for Charlotte. The new electric light ing system will be in operation by that time, and the unsightly wooden poles will have been removed. There will be a great celebration with President elect Wilson here as the centrai figure and' with unnumbered thousands of visitors. And last, but far from being least, during that .month the people of: Charlotte will elect the first ad ministration under a commission form of government. With all of these things In prospect we have much to live for. - ' ; :- '-' ""' - Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt . urges that our forests be . -protected not only against fire but against hogs and oth er stock. It is a well known fact that hogs have done hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to the long leaf pme forests of the eastern section of this State. 1 Mecklenburg County and many other progressive counties have stock, laws and are little troubled by the ravages of hogs and cattle. A reader of The Chronicle, In send ing his $3 a year in, advance from his present location in Georgia writes: "You are getting out the best penny paper in the South and it is getting better all the time. , The Chron icle is a welcome daily visitor from home to me and keeps one neatly , in touch with the local rand North Car olina happenings." ; Says : ; The ' Greensboro Record: "Charlotte is making a noise' like she was going to have a commission form of government. Not as long , as the astute politician is in the saddle. But Charlotte needs ' a change about as bad as any city in the country." Well, Colonel, one of the objects of the commission form is to get rid of the baleful influence of the profession al politician, as you know.' Charlotte people realize this and they are go lng to ' take the saddle ' from under the politician. The Chronicle is sure that its read- vo x v.uu tut, vuowiaiuo uaun.
