the Judgment of others, however nu-
merous, but simply that he should oe
willing to contribute as much unsei1-
ish effort toward the betterment OF
local conditions Is circumstances anu
his environment permit.
Reform Moy ReoiIy enns Results.
The inquiry naturally follows
whether a movement to improve local
government can be best undertaken
and carried on within party lines or
without. My observation persuades
me that, as a general rule. useluI
measures can be more promptly ana
effectively put in operation wlthln
party lines. But there are exceptions
to the rule, notably in the great cltles
of the country, where. Oftentlmes' 'he
power incident to many official places
and to the disbursement OF large sums
of money makes it possible to build
up an organization that, if unwlsely
led. may refuse to institute reforms IN
local government, because such re-
forms are opposed by strong men
within the organization who might ne
unpleasantly affected by their adop-
ton as the settled policy OF the party.
In such situations independent move
ments oftentimes afford the only
method of bringing about much eco
improvements. Nevertheless, In a
majority of town, cities, villages, n
counties, a wise measure boldly ana
persistently presented by unselfsh,
public-spirited citizens in whose
sincerity of purpose the people in
terested have confidence, until a
healthy public sentiment has been
built up in favor of it, will find one
or both party organizations ready to
adopt it and to nominate men for
local positions who will carry it Out.
1t has always happened, and always
will, when men of thought as we'll as
of action persistently labor for the
development of an idea helpful to the
interests, that after a time
their project will be picked up and
carried on by a competent party
organization which hopes to gain
strength from it, and in return will
make it effective, just as the party
organizations in State and nation
have given effect to civil service re-
form, although it did not in the first
liz stance originate with them. and was
not taken up by them until public
opinion had become established in its
Efforts to improve local
government in directions much needed
may not DO at once accomplished,
even under the most intelligent, un-
and skillful leadership. Men
who ought to join in the movement
may be Indifferent at the outset, or
unwilling to take part in what seems
to them a doubtful struggle, and
local leaders may prefer to wink at
The abuse aimed at rather than to
eradicate it, and SO the first election
may pass without favorable result.
It is at this point that well-intentioned
but Oftentimes weak men, ~unheeding
the lessons of history, abandon their
cause in disgust, instead of persever-
in the battle, which, if we'll fought
and in good cause, must end at
in victory and triumph.
