MuNIcIpAL IMPROVEMENT.


Mr. Leon Mandel. one Of the great mer.
chants Of Chicago. in recent Interview in
the Chicago News, tells how IN his opinion
the people Of that city can secure and main
tain good government He gives his plan
thus:
would organize associations for good govern
ment ~ every ward IN the city consisting OF
citizens whose only aim. regardless Of parity is To
improve the city purity politics and give rs a
Fnod government. Their power would soon make
itself felt The politicians would consult them
as 70 the selection of candidates end their in
dofsemen, would 20 a long way and after awhile
u would become necessary
There is no question as TO the benefits to
be welded by such organizations as those
suggested by Mr.. Mandel but the trouble is
and always has been In most cities, to in.
duce good citizens to take so much interest
In municipal AFFAIRS.
The experience in Houston for instance.
is that 1t Is hard matter to get good clti.
zens and taxpayers to go to the polls and
vote. much less form themselves into or.
CARNATIONS for the public good This city
is at the present time staggering under a
heavy load, due TO former announcement
and extravaganza embarrassed at everydurn
because for years past the good citizens have
persstently staid at home and permitted
The politicians to exploit their municipal
orowess
The Chicago News endorses Mr.. MandeTs
plan and says! In other words. Mr.. Mandel
suggests that public spirit and the common
good should dictate the nomination of can.
didates, instead Of personal greed and i'm.
mediate selt-mterest. There is no doubt that
his Is the way to get better government.
As matters now stand the citizens have abdi.
Gated and the bosses have taken possession
Of the clty's political power The bosses are
not TO blame The city has to be run in some
way or other and # the bosses did not run It
nobody would. To abuse boss because ne

MIR. cARNEele's IDEA.


Mr. Carnegie advises Emperor William TO
organize an European United states as the
only way to conquer the foreign markets and
repe the American commercial invasion.
The great iron master IS evidently of the
opinion that American political and COM
mercial policies have been responsible FOR
American development and it may be read-
" conceded that they have done much, but
Mr.. Carnegie lacks discernment If he does
not perceive that the prime causes Of Ameri-
can development lie deeper
In the first place, American greatness is
due to American resources We nave the
best soil and the richest mineral beds. With
ont these political wisdom would ac.
complish but little. We find proof of this
truth in the agricultural supremacy OF the
West over the East The East was settled
FIRST and has every advantage of experience
and training, but ever the tide Of prosperity
has flowed westward to the newer and rich.
err fields Of agriculture.
In the second place, American greatness is
due to American people. The land of the
free has attracted the most enterprising Of
all the earth The highest genius Of the
world is assembled here, and Is in state
Of constant development by reason OF the
clash of rivalry and the stimulus OF example.
We have not only great land but 1t is pos,
sessed by great people. Hence, 1t is that
we have devised the best system of govern.
ment and wrought out the highest type Of
social order. A German United States might
profit by our example, but without a country
and a people like ours could not hope to
match our success
Besides, 1t must be remembered that sue,
cess is comparative. Germany can undoubt.
eddy improve, but the United States of
America will be improving at the same time.
We have not reached the limit of our pos.
sibiitios. We have not arrived at the end
of tho march Of progress, and we expect to
be busy for some time to come When
Germany gets to where we are now we viii
be just as far ahead. OF course we may slip
and fail as other nations have done In the
/ past We are not insured against national
/ death, but in this respect we are no worse off
than any other on the contrary we are

pectancy' is greater than that of any other
