munity feels the necessity OF watching
his policy at every step. The form Of
government demands 5alertness and the
people have responded to this demand.
The very fact that this concentration
OF executive power involves dangers has
Sexerted an energizing Influence on IA the
attitude Of the people toward the gov
eminent. ID gSSB53
Before VIC can secure good government
in our American communities " is neces-
sflry not only 4 to abolish this fetichism
4 of governmental machncry, but so to
construct that hinery$ rs to make the
control Of public opinion both easy and
&effectiye.&We have too long dung to the
belief that popular government means
z the election Of a large number Of public
.Onlcials. Tempted by this bolicfwe have
stretched the elective principle far be-
You'd Its possibilities and in many In
stances have madetait a source OF gov
ornamental weakness. There is mo reason
In the nature OF things why the city at
5torney. solicitor, treasurer, or receiver
OF taxes should DO elected by the people.
}S The application Of the elective principle
to these offices tends to divert tho minds
OF the people from the really Import
ant executive offices and so divides re-
sponsibilty that Its enforcement be-.
comes increasingly difficult. Here
again we must modify beliefs which We
have Inherited from period when the
appointment Of local officials was an In
dication Of monnrchical or despotlc
power. Tho ESSENCE OF popular govern
lnent is such popular control as Will en-3
force certain definite standards of enl-
cheney In the administration of public
affairs. That control can best be ex-
ercised when It is directed towards ono
or at most two or three executive off,
clnls. &
There Is every Indication TINT we are
gradually adopting our political beliefs
to the manifest requirements Of our
municipalities In that process OF adapta-
tlon we must be prepared to make many
changes, both III the organization Ut
government and In our attitude towards
that government. Whatever these
changes may ne, anything that tends to
diminish the nlertness OF the population
will to that extent lower tho tono OF Its
civic life. The relation between city
and State and the organization OF tho
city government must he 80 arranged
as to foster this alertness, and the
mechanism OF government must be so
constructed ms to make the control Of
public opinion on the one hand and tho
enforcement OF responsibility on the other
