At first the men in the wagon were ugly, and want

Juosins from the letters one sees reproduced In
the daily papers. People need TO be reminded OF
CERTAIN peculiar elements In the planning and plot
'iis "hich led up to the defeat OF decency on No
Nemoer before they can grasp the true dscoar-
ager1ent OF the situation
Nhen the consolidation Of these cities pro-
posed large proportion Of the citizens expressed
their doubts OF It's wisdom. The tendency OF popu-
ation Is citywari; the problems 10 be solved
the result have no; been successfully treated for
part OF the greater city. and how could they be
easier 10 settle II multiplied a few times? National
and State government have been pretty well es;ab-
lshed. but municipal government has not. and. re-
alizing this. many protested against the plan. The
only thing which could reconcile such patriotic
minds would be the development Of local civic pride
and virtue and the Inauguration OF the new city
government by clean and able hands
The charter was put through against the protests
OF even some OF the creators OF that document the
strong drift OF public opinion toward choosing those
who were clean and capable 10 inlugurate It was
baked OF Its proper expression and triumph: and
the last safeguard. In sense. OF the competent
among the office holders. and In another OF those
taken out OF It" by an agent OF the bungler upon
whom the responsibility rests for all this drama OF
political stupidity and immortality.
II Is not enough TO hope that 1t means his po-
litlcal determination One OF the sckeninG aspects
OF the case Is that so much that is priceless may
be put In jeopardy by one man: this Is also most
serious defect in our political system.
The State IL lost 10 the Republican party: the
city Is turned over 10 the incompetent. 10 say no
more, for term OF years: and Civil Service reform
Is practically nullfed.
Could a man possibly do more 10 make his party
unfortunate and his own name exeerahe?
