That Is a great de; 1 mce t "inn can be said of the. old system. See that your name is on tlio book if you have any doubt about it. You can't vote if you arc not registered. If you have moved from one precinct to another nee the register and get your name on the right book. There is no change in the revenue feature of the charter. The new is the same as the old. Don't let alarmists frighten you about taxes It. is not the purpose of Commission Government to raise more revenue. but to more efficiently use that col lectcd. A nobody'i . The Y. M. C. A. fcommittee made S splendid selection in getting Judge Pritchard to come here to speak at the opening of the campaign. He will give as much enthusiasm to the movement as any man that could hare been gotten. He is a good speaker and has not only the respect but the admiration of thu people of the state to an unusual degree. The Y. M. C. A. campaign fund starts next Thursday. The senti ment for the association is strong and the outlook encouraging. -But-it w'HT- take", an enthusiastic pull to. gether to make the result what it ought to be. We hope every man and woman in Raleigh will talk Y. M. C. A. for the next two weeks as never before. If you voted in the last city elce. tion and still live in the same pre' cinct you do not have to register. But if you have moved into another precinct you will have to register whero you are now living, that is, if you have been living in the new pre' cinct four months. Otherwise you vote in the old and do not have to register. Those coming of age since the last city election and new resi dents In the city will, of course, have to register. The Greenville Reflector keeps hammering away for new enter prises for its town. "The Reflector will certainly be glad," it says, "when it succeeds in hammering Into the minds of the people the fact that Greenville needs more manufactur ing enterprises. The growth of our population is slow because people cannot afford to move to a town un less they can And some employment there. If there were started up in Greenville manufacturing enter prises to give employment to an ad ditional thousand people, the thou sand people would be here in a very ithort time. Every additional clti sea helps the town that much." And vltk such a eon I stent advocate tor t)t cit as Qtiizrln has la The Ro- cerjaia' ise man once said that what la egftrvhniftu.imi 's business. That was said a loner' time beo. but this wise , maa-Juui evidently. had some experience with a Board of aldermen in his city. He must have realized that to accomplish anything In this world either in our own business or in the business of a eity, some individual person must be held responsible. For many, many years' the1 woVld thongnt the only way to run a eity was to elect a lot of men, the bigger the number the b and let them meet once a month and transact, the business of the city, if they thought best, and if not, to let it go until some more convenient season. That idea sprang from "Ye olde town meeting", held hundreds of years ago, and the board of aldermen of the present day government is only a small improvement on the town meeting Idea. .- ' ': ".''.- But the world Is growing wiser in its governments', just as it is grow ing wiser In its business affairs. When the thirteen states of America set up the republic of the United States, all the old governments raised howl and said that such a government Was not practical, that ii could not make good. The whole world lias since had to acknowledge, that it is the best government on earth. Just so, after the" great flood that destroyed Galveston, circumstances demanded a peculiar kind of government to meet the peculiar conditions and the result was the first Commission Form of Government. The world looked wise and said it would not do. Neither three nor five men could run a city. They would ruin it. But they did what the world said they could not, do, and the result has been that many towns and cities throughout this country and Euroye have come to the conclusion that the new form of government by three or five commission ers is the best, most modern and progresisve government for the cities that has even been adopted. I no general plan of a Commission Government Is the same for all cities, the only changes or differences being In the minor local details, made in order to meet local conditions. Some of the best results obtained by this form of government has been with three comniiesloners. : In fact In a city the size of Raleigh there is no need for any greater number. The proposed charter covers -everything thoroughly and the outline of the duties of the three commissioners as given below will show' the people the advantages of having the work concentrated in three men's Bands ani holding them Individually responsible for the results. With only three men we will know who to expect to do the work, and If there is any rouble -we. will know who is responsible. In other words we will get the work we are paying for. . . -. -.. 14 Ifciard of Commissioners. ; ; "The Board of Commissioners shall consist of three members, one of whom shall be Mayor, and all of whom shall be elected by vote of the people, as hereinafter provided. One of said Commissioners shall be elected and known as the Commissioner of Public Works, one of said Commis sioners shall be elected and known as the Commissioner of Public Safetv, and the Mayor shall be known as the Commissioner of Public Finances.1 Tin- .Mayor Thus it is seen that the three men form themselves into a board with the Commissioner of Finances as the head, or Mayor. He has. charge of he finances of the city, the making and 'signing of contracts, the collection of taxes and rentals, the accounts and books of the city all of which is of course subject to the action of the board as a whole. ; In other words he acts as the president of a corporation subject to the board of directors. Commissioner of Public Works. He has charge ol public -.works, improvements, cleaning, and repairs of the streets, public buildings, parks, water and ail the numerous other public things affecting the welfare of the people. . He too is subject to the meeting and action of the board of Commis sioners. . - Commissioner of Public Safety. He will have charge and control of the Fire Department and all of Us improvement and work, subject to the board. ' He will, also have charge of the Police Department, subject to the meeting of the board' He will have control over the Sower System, the Lighting System of the city and the lighting of the streets and other places in the city. His duties are all subject to the final action of the meeting of the board. . Each commissioner will have complete control of his department and all employes in his department will be directly responsible to bim, ami may be dismissed by htm. but they may appeal to tho board, who'wfll hear and act on their complaint as a board. , , ; The board of commissioners hold sessions Just aa a board of directors, and have powers as a board of ulderinon to enact and enforce the laws, as provided in the charter. -.. .,..'.-'-.. The idea that Raleigh cannot get three men capable to run these three places is the argument of those who are opposed to the' new charter. If we can turn the affairs of our city over to a board of eight able men, on whom we have no check or control and whom wo cannot get out of office for the two full years, why can we not select three business men lu whom wc can trust the city's business when we have them individually responsible and tan get them out oi office within thirty days if they go wrong. The argu ment that we cannot get three men capable, of running Kalelgh in the position of commissioners is preposterous, and is an insult to the business manhood of Italcigb. The important question for Kalelgh Is this: "Is t!'.e charter all right for us?" Nearly an hundred cities have tried such a charter and found it not only safe, but the best financial step they ever made. Then It certainly must be all right for VS.. The thing for us as a eity to do then is to adopt the Commission Charter and the people f Raleigh will then be capable of selecting three men who can fill the offices honorably and wisely. .'.--.'... We appeal to the manhood and business interests and tbu taxpayer-: of Raleigh to adopt this new charter and take a long step forward In the development of our city, which we love so well. .

The program covers a very wide rang of discussion, and the speakers are to be men especially qualified to deal with the subjects auoUef i$ them.
