It was a business, not a politicf job, and required business methods and a business administration for its suc'-eHfi'l execution. It would not du lo entrust this vast resiKinslbillty to an irresponsible government uch as ordinary city governments nlwaya ate.

A new plan had to be devised, and this is how the wis men of Galveston BOlvod their prob-fem First the citizens Induced the mayor and courwilmen to resign and to allow the abandonment of the old scheme of government and of the "id ctty charter. Then they went to the legislature and procured the abolition of the old mayor-ward-and-cutini 11 plan, getting in Its plure a new charter providing for the creation of a comintsMon practically like that which Joliet will have when the new plan Is adopted here, ln Galveston, however, three of the commiseioners were, at the beginning, aopolnted by the governor. A supreme court dis-lMon nullified the law on that account, hut this did not deter the people of Galveston, who worked out tla? idea of a coinmis-'lon to be elected entirely by the people. The main IdeA prevailed thru It all. that each commissioner was directly responsible for one department of the city's huelni'sa.

The Galveston commissioners had before them a task before which the ordinary responsibilities of the average city government look like a vacation. In tile flHU place they Inherited from the old council a bonded debt of nno besides (hulling Indebtedness of $200,000. Then there was the enormous responsibility of flnnnctng the necessary to the rebuilding of the city. 1'nder commission government Gnl- evston was rebuilt, the old Indebtedness waa paid off. and was spent for Improvements whicn tinner the old Plnn would have cost nearer The total bonded Indebt edness of Galveston today Is only $4, 000.000.

'and Its tax rale is hawrr than it ever wss before. All the larger cities of Texas have now adopted the commission form of government. Houston was the first to follow Galveston's example In 1905. The first northern cities to fell into line were Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. Iowa, and Leavenworth and Anthony, Kansas, who adopted the new-rule in liios.

The movement Is now sweeping the country. The most remarkable thing about It la that of all the many rltiis who hsve adopted this form of government not one has com'. back to the old plan, ln every case where politicians had the temerity to propose going hock to the antiquated mayor-and-cotmcil plan they have been overwhelmingly defeated at the polls.

AMERICAN INDIANS SOON IN STORY ONLY FAST FADING OF HISTORIC RACE. Director of Census Says by 1920 There Will be Few if Any Tribes Remaining. "Before the time arrives for making the next count of the country's inhabitants a large percentage of those now holding tribal relations will have become cltlzt ns and will no longer be regarded as Indians, except in a raelul or historical sense." These words from E. Dana Durund, director of the census, are quoted by Charles M. Harvey In an article In the Atlantic Monthly for January, entitled "The Epic of the Indian." There are many persons now living to whom this statement will come with especial force.

Stories of Indian massacres once se mcd to strika near home and ilarmed timid persons, tho dangtr often was exaggerated. Camps of wandering redmen furnished uneasy slumbers to youngsters of two or three generations ugo. Now the Indian Is to oisappf-ar or rather is to be merged In the general mass of citizenship. Much has been written to show bow unjustly the Indians were treated by white settlers. In his book on "The Ainerlcun Indian," published In 188S, Elijah M.

Ilainis said the Indian population of the whole North American continent scarcely exceeded If It re.o hid a million Inhabitants and he Id that they were scattered over so large a territory they were Int-a liable of committing the outrages charged against tnem. According to the last icnsus th-re are Sot.StO Indians in the I'nlted States, exclusive of those In Alaska. Leave Their Nomenclature. Mr. Harvey calls attention to the diversity of names borrowed from the Indiana.

"There were the Wamp.t-noags." he says, "pepuota and Naria-gansetts In New England and the middle states; the Powhstans In Virginia, the Cre.ka in Georgia, the Semlnoks In Florida, the Chlckasawa. Choctuws and Natchez along the gulf coast for a few hundred miles inland; the Apat. lies. Comanchcs and Navajos In Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, with MiBsouria, Pawnees. Usages, Sioux Chlppewas and' Wuckfeet, farther to the north and northwest.

And far more formidable, both as friends and as enemies, than any of those tribes, were the Iroquois, or Hve Nations (the Mohawks, oivldas. cinondugas.
