model city charter would leave the mu-
nicipality wholly unfettered in all mat
ters that exclusively concern its people.
That is all a city charter needs TO provide.
There ought 10 be absolute home rule for
cities. About all a city government has
TO do is to arrange the affairs OF the peo-
pie who live in it. Whatever it does, or
leaves undonc, concerns the people outside
its borders but very little. II is absurd
for a State Legislature to assume to con-
troll or regulate matters that concern
cities and do not concern the balance of
the State. Yet that is what is constantly
done.
Our own city of Providence has suffered
constantly by legislative interference,
which is justified by law, but unreason-
able and unjust when considered in the
light of common sense. 1t is scarcely
possible for the city TO undertake any
work Of improvement without legislative
sanction. 1t cannot provide sufficient
school houses, repair streets, build sewers,
increase the water supply, or lay out new
streets until after time and money has
been expended TO win consent from re-
prese9tatives of towns and sections OF the
State, wholly unaffected, and entirely
uninterested The method of managing
the police or the fire department, or any
branch OF the city's routine business,
cannot be varied, even to effect economy,
until the General Assembly has been
consulted and placated.
This keeps the city plunged in politics,
delays business, handicaps Improvement,
turns plain business operations into COM
plex political ferment.
IL it could be shown that the operation
Of building sundry new school houses,
which we may need, expect to exclusively
use, and are abundantly able to pay for,
is of any special importance to the rest OF
the State, there might be ground for the
interference of the General Assembly. If
the paving of several streets was, speak
ing bluntly, any of the States business,
application to the General Assembly
might be tolerated with considerable re-
signation.
Instances OF embarrassment and injustice
to the city by reason OF the legislative
oversight might be multiplied almost in
definitely. The people of cities are able
to guard their own interests. The control
OF the Legislature is not needed
The direction municipal reform ought
to take is toward more freedom OF action
by the people of cities and less legisla-
tive control; home rule, broader and sim
pie charters.

History shows that the red-headed
woman is fascinating. They say that
the locks OF Helen Of Troy were Of
that color; also those of Mary Queen
Of Scots. There was, not so long ago, q
time when this tinge was Knocked at
by the vulgar. Happily this period is
past Without making odious compar-
lsons with her darker or golden-haired
listers, we confess to being admirers
Of the red-headed girls, whom the
impressionist painter have taken rs
their halo-crowned ideal. Therefore we
hold that whereas the number has In
creased and is increasing, 1t ought not
to be diminished.
