City there occurred very interesting
example OF the unexpected, not to say,
unnatural, success OF the amateur po-
itician. It was In relation to the con-
test for the office Of state senator In
one Of the uptown districts The in
cunbent was up for reelection after
having held the Office for many years.
Campaign after campaign had taken
place always with the same result, so
that it seemed assured beyond all uues-
ton the senator would retain his hold
upon the constituency as long as he de-
slider. Last autumn, however a David
appeared in the field, and although he
was regarded with the same lack of
respect as his predecessors, he was
wanting IN appreciation Of the fact
that he was attacking a lion. and he
persistently and earnestly made his
canvass IN his own way, and ignored
the tactics usually pursued. Goliath
followed the customary methods and
serenely awaited election day and his
usual victory. But whether it was the
novelty Of the policy followed by Da-
vid or whether the people had gotten
to be a little restless under the feeling
that the senator looked upon them as
his absolute property, the fact was
that defeat came for the first time, and
the young amateur won.
The greatest single cause OF rnisgov-
eminent is a lack OF faith in the en-
forcement of the law, particularly so
far a. it relates to the ordinary admin
istration Of public affairs. And in this
regard, strange TO say, the two great
est factors are the poor and uninfiuen-
tial citizen, and the great aggregation
of capital. The first feels that unless
he helps the off1ce-holder IN his poll
tics he cannot obtain his rights; the
second that unless It pays for immuni-
ty it viii be blackmailed. In both
cases the obtaining OF consideration for
such inducements leads to efforts TO
obtain favors IN vioiation Of the law.
The active and determined interest
and cooperation Of every non-political
citizen would surely result In placing
municipal government upon the high
est plane. The problems then 20 be
solved would not involve merely a con-
sideration OF tia best methods 20 deal

q study OF the course to be followed to
obtain for the people Of ell classes,

ministration of the law and an eQuit-
able dispensation of justice.

feel that not only is its administration
as important TO him as the supervision

list all citizens, irrespective of class.
To those who do not enjoy social or
financial advantages, good government
is a most serious question, and with
them it is not merely the solution Of
municipal problems upon scientific
principles. but the obtaining. Of their
plain rights as citizens. Socialism has
gained strength because Of the belief
among the working people that the
protection of the law and it's aid are
only for the rich. In our great cities
those who have had to deal with the
poor often learn of cases of brutal
disregard of the rights of the humble
citizen by the public servant, who fire.

the cause Of good government will gain
