School for boys, formerly located at
Lancaster, but which recently burned,
*105,000 in cash and .twenty acres of

this instance to show what other

a good school in their midst. Weath-

The unexpected has happened again
in Fort Worth. The papers have fre-
jquently called attention to the fact that
1 burglaries and robberies were numer-
ous in that city, and that nothing
was safe that was not nailed down or
too hot to handle satisfactorily, hut
we were hardly prepared Tor the story
that came out of that city last week.
A bold, bad burglar actually entered a
house and removed that which was or
t least ought to have been nailed down
or bolted. At least the burglar re-
moved a handsome glass door from the
premises. Think of it, will you, a
glass door It seems things have
reached such a condition now, that
nothing is safe, even if it is nailed
down, and we now confidently expect
to hear of some one stealing a red hot
stove.
There will /be an election held on
the 2nd of April for the election off
city officers for the ensuing term. The
Mayor and five aldermen are to be
elected, the other officers bolding over
for another year.
We have no criticism to make of our
present city officials, for we believe
they are doing their duty and giving
the city the best service |>ossib!e under
the present system. But we do he-
iieve the time has come when a change
should be made in the form of gov-
ernment. As it stands now the city
is running behind on its general fund
bach year and as the law now stands
there is little chance to either decrease
the expense account or increase the
revenu.e Our people are all the time
demanding better streets, more lights
and other improvements that require
money and our present charter will
not allow an increase in the tax rate.
\ decade ago one light on top of the
court house was sufficient for lighting
purposes, now we are paying over $100
tier montli for street lights. Fifteen
years ago we' suppose Weatherford
people went to bed at dark or stayed
at home and read. Now they come
down town and take in the moving
picture shows or attend the play at
the opera house and turn in at 10:30
or 11 o'colck. Naturally they want
more street lights and better side-
walks. He that as it may. we must
keep in line with the progress of the

Texas led the Union last year in Hie
erection of school houses, averaging
two daily, at a total cost of over $3,-
000,000. Most of the houses were built
without due regard to lighting, heat-
ing or ventilating, thus endangering
the health of tl;e children and affect-
ing the general efficiency of the
schools. It is the inly of school offi-
dermen we would have three commis-
sioners and eacli of those would nat-
urally have more power and more
responsibility than is now vested in
an alderman. Wy trust that those who
are Interested in Hie progress of our
city will make an investigation of the
commission plan so they may Ik* pre-

the question come up for consideration.
