There are so many theories advanced
regarding the cause OF the Maine dlsas-
tr that the newspaper readers are begin
ming to wonder how many different
ways such an explosion can occur. In
the meantime the man without theory
can complacently wait until the official
investigation being conducted solves the
problem. and be prepared to receive It as
a final verdict, whatever may result.
That is the better way. There are too
many spcculations being INDUCED in at
long range, and not enough patience to
wait for the result OF the investigation
that is being made by the only campc-
tent judges, namely. those who are at
the scene of the disaster and clothed
With the proper authority.

college chair from the forum and the
press, there is now preached doctrine OF
no uncertain sound as to the obligations
of municipal citizenship; that men and
women are coming to recognize that upon
them depend the salvation Of our modern
municipal life; that no charter. no statute,
no organization, however carefully and in
geniously devised, will compensate for the
want of a deep. intelligent, abiding inter
est and participation in public affairs"
MUNICIPAL PROGRAM.
DR.. L. S. Rowe, professor of municipal
government in the University Of Pennsyl-
vania, presented the report of the COM
mittee on municipal program. 1t contained
a proposed constitutional amendment
treating of four distinct classes of sub
ects-the relation of the municipality to
the state; the powers of the municipality;
the procedure in the exercise of municipal
functions; the electoral franchise and the
application of the merit principle to the
administrative service. The design, the
committee stated. was to give the munich
pality more definite place in our political
system than it at present enjoys; TO give
it that freedom oc action which Is the
necessary accompaniment of growth and
expansion, and to place within its power
the determination of local policy whenever
such policy is not inconsistent with the
general welfare of the state.
The committee also submitted proposed
municipal corporation act, under the pro-
visions of which, they said, it would be
possible for cities. large or small, to adopt
form OF organization suited to their
needs.
