HELP WANTED AT POSTOFFICE The mass meeting which consid ered the commission form of govern ment last Monday night, showed pronouncedly the need of enforcing some kind of rules of order. The meeting was not boisterous, no riots occurred requiring clubs instead of rules, and more certainly could have been accomplished had even rudi mentary rules been observed. C. L. Marshall is a good chairman. He stated his points succinctly, and made his requests courteously and to the point, but they were not observ ed by the speakers. Instead, inter ruptions, strayiig from the points at issue, and exceeding the time limit for remarks weie among the offences indulged in. It is not to be expected that every citizen should get a text book on " Rules of Order " and commit it to memory; in cases of this kind common courtesy should be sufficient, with respect for the rulings of the chairman. Of course it is a well known fact that most speakers are more interest ed than interesting. There are a few exceptions. In discussions of this kind, therefore, could not more be accomplished by stating a fact then sitting down, instead of stand ing up and prouncing words ? Some of the speakers had the subject in hand, members of the committees for example, but most of those pres ent had very little time in which to prepare an elaborate extemperaneous speech. That's excusable. Would it not be better, then, to wait unt something is known before trying t make a speech, and making ins'ea a scries of inappropriate remarks i the wrong way. Xevir Out of Work.
