A pleasure it was, in many ways great

sorrow, and her visit was like ray Of

Most pathetic Of all was her looking

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

THE AMERICAN CITY: A PROBLEM IN DE
PIP 42S The Macmillan Company.
The ideal city" said Benjamin Harrison,
must be city where people diligently mind
their own business, and the public business, apd
do both with a decent regard 10 the judgment
and the rights OF other men," To help toward
this ideal is the purpose of Mr.. Wilcox's book.
Nanifestly American cities are a far cry
from ii to-day. Can attain it? Proba-
bly, never wholly-but unless We more nearly ap-
proximate 10 it than now, Mr. Wilcox sees a
grave menace to democracy as a principle OF
government. He regards the city as the domi-
mating element of the great political experiment
The United States is rapidly becoming nation
OF cities. and, even while the majority of the
population remains rural. the city becomes more
and more the centre of distribution Of intell-
gence as well of goods. 1T is the centre OF
the complex web Of national life" Looking at
present day conditions. in contrast with those
which prevailed when the country first started
on its career Of self-government he believes that
the experiment must be begun over again under
the changed conditions OF Industrial and social
life, and that in the new experiment the cities
must take the lead. He takes up the problem
IN no spirit OF pessimism, however but boldly
maintains that what we need is not less de-
inocracy. but more" There must be a greater
leeAlng OF personal responsibility, OF the
greatest obstacles TO which has been the Or
ganization of industry on so large scale that
in cities only insignificant proportion of the
people are working for themselves. The remedy
he sees IN a larger municipal control OF public
utilities This is his programme OF a correct
franchise policy:
first-Insst that every public utility now ovvnad
and operated by a city should be Conducted on,
clear cut principles, and should render an unris-
taxable public account Of itself.
secono-Compel ell public utility operators de-
pendent upon special privileges IN the streets -

affairs 10 the city authorities.
