mayor. The councils of Europe have
tended to delegate their executive du-
ties to a mayor and he is responsible to
the council. This is efficient. In the
council system publicity is possible.
Any system must prevent rather than
punish corruption.
G. Q. Arnold closed the constructive
argument for the affirmative. He
pointed out the difference of conditions
between our own municipalities and
those of Europe and showed that the
reform suggested would not produce
the same results here. San Francisco
has just adopted the mayor system and
has the most efficient civil service sys-
tenn in the world if authorities on the
subject are to be credited
The organization under a business
system calls for the vesting of power
in one man. TO make this the Most ef-
fcctive this man, the mayor, must be
directly responsible to his constituents.
the voters. No city having tried the
mayor system has gone back to the old
system.
F. NJ. Leach was the last Washburn
speaker. He showed the council to
have been steadily stripped of power
and without sufficient dignity to COM
mand the services of strong men as it's
members. That this tendency in the
past was responsible for the inetticiency
and failure of the council system
He showed that no efficient civil ser
vice could be possible under the mayor
system as the mayor in order to be held
responsible to his electors must have
absolute power of removal extending
turnout the administrative depart
ments. San Francisco is no example of
the mayor system as the charter there
has been In operation very short time.
Bribery and the spoils system must be
taken from municipal politics by thu
separation of party politics and until
this is accomplished no system can be
effective. In the rebuttall the same
ground was covered and salient points
on each side reiterated. The speakers
of the negative were more forceful,
Grinnell's style being rather argument
alive than oratorical. The speakers
were all strong and in each case COM
nlanded their subject. Grinnell was
rather les ready in rehuttal than her
opponent, altho each man showed ex-
cellent command of the facts in his ar
gument. Messrs. Tit and Leach in the
re5uttall made strong appeals and each
of the speakers for Grinnell were direct
and effective.
The judges in the debate were Judge
L. G. Kline, of Des Moines, Judge FL.
b. Deemer, of Red Oak, and Judge L.
L. Norval of Lincoln, Neb.

ton of four steel bridges along the line
These Improvements in the road bed

thought will ultimately pass over the

it is thought the extension of the line
northwest will be determined on and the
connection at Eagle Grove or Burt set
tied In railroad circles it is generally
conceded that some extension from AL
den will be made in order to give this
road better facilities for handling its
traffic from the northwest to the main
line. The congested condition at Jewell
Junction were several divisions of the

much annoyance and in providing a
short cut from Eagle Grove to Tama

is thought the trouble can be obviated
by running the fast passenger and

Americans Ridicule English Panic Over
the Shipping Combine.

Americans Ridicule Engl;sh Fanlc over
the Shipping Combine.
London, April 30.-American bust
ness men abroad resent the reckless
clamor and panic of the British press
with,regard to the so-called "Morgani-
cation" of Atlantic shipping. In the
first place, the facts concerning what
has happened are extremely obscure;
in the second place American traders
are unable to see why even If American
capital by legitimate means has Sc
cured or is likely to secure a larger
merchant fleet than England possesses,
that country should surrender to par
oxysm of terror and bad manners.
Yankees declare that the shipping
deal, whatever it's real nature may
prove to be, is strictly business trans
action wherein the British enjoyed all
the freedom of action that belonged to
the Americans. They point out that
Mr.. Morgan did not approach the Brit
ish with lies in order to gain control OF
a fleet wherewith the intimidate British
shipowners, but approached them
armed only with the weapons of argu-
ment.
Besides. Americans dislike being
called vulgar and INSCRIPTIONS, par
t,cularly by Englishmen, for trying to
regain their position on the high seas
They remember that English sympathy
with disunion in the United States
sympathy due chiefly to aristocratic
and middle class jealousy of the great
ness of the young republic-caused the
Alabama and other ships to be fitted
ont In English ports and sent to sweep
American shipping from the ocean.
They also remember that ever since
that outrage on international law
American exporters have been at the
mercy of British bottoms and have con-
seouently been compelled to wrestle
with an uncertain factor that has con-
stantly tended to restrict American
operation in foreign markets.
