For Good Government.

Lyman j. Gage, the new Secretary of
the treasury, was one of the promoters,
and the President, of the Civic Federation
of Chicago, and his statement of its aims
is program we'll worth the attention of
municipal reformers everywhere:
1t is the aim of the federation to bring
into coordination those social and moral
forces that make for the common welfare.
1t purposes to quicken and deepen in the
minds of all our citizens conviction of
their duties to the civic whole. To this
end it will endeavor to spread a better
knowledge of our municipal organization,
how it is operated, and how by the mat
tention and neglect of the voter it becomes
corrupted, extravagant and wasteful. 1t
will encourage attendance at the prima-
ries and the selection of good candidates
for office. In short it will reassert the
principle that the people as the sovereign
is entitled to honest and faithful service
from its servants. 1t will repudiate the
proposition that the municipal agencies
representing the people, paid for their
series By tares lecied upon all, haze the
right to use the porer and influence thus de-
rised to promote the political fortunes Of
any set Of iadieiduols or any party. The
Civic Federation will assist right minded
municipal officers in the enconomical and
efficient administration of their duties.
Such power as. it has or can gain it will
use to expose or correct maladministra-
ton or neglect and to punish those who
wilfully betray their solemn duties while
in official station. The Civic Federation
is absolutely non partisan in all it's thee
ries and plans of action, and will frown
down all attempts, if such be made, to
pervert its actions to the advantage of
any political party
Is there a city or town in the United
States in which such Civic Federation is
not needed? The essential, principles of
true principles too generally
lost sight of in this era of ring rule and
preferment- seeking politicians-ar clear
ly and forcibly laid down by Mr.. Gage,
and will appeal to the patriotic and intel
ligent citizen wherever read.

way for the organization of the Christian
