NEW YORK. March Il Our city Is
becoming a shambles-
s-Our civilization is growing more
dangerous from day TO day.
''Our buildings are higher. We ride
more swiftly. We are constantly making
experiments with dangerous chemicals
and noxious gases. New perils meet US
almost momentarily, and We are siaugh-
tering the workingnen upon whom the
prosperity of the city and OF civilization
depends, because il is considered cheaper
TO kill them than top rotect their lives. ,"
Those were the words OF DR. Josiah
Strong. a weli-known author and presi-
dent of the American Institute Of Social
Service. before the Municipal Art Soc
iety Of New York. at its annual dinner
in the Arts Club.
"Our City"
The subject for discussion by all the
speakers was "Our City," but it was
generally accepted as applying TO the
feature of decoration and adornment.
Dr. Strong. however. devoted only few
words TO that phase OF the topic.
THE men who build cities seem de-
void of intellectual faculties" he said,
in the beginning, yet the most diff
cult and complex of all arts is the art
OF collective living, the art Of living
in the cities, and in this we are especial
ly backward. Except for the few cities
that were built by the conquerors or
emperors, most of them have simply

SHAW RUNS HOME
TO SUCCOR BOON
Cummins Playing Havoc in
Opponents Plans.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw left
last evening for Des Moines, where,
Friday evening, he will deliver an ad-
dress on -Republicanism" before the
Polk County Republican Club.
His appearance on this occasion Is
construed as highly significant. because
Iowa is just now in the throes os a bit
ter campaign, in which Governor Cum
minis asks a third-term nomination. and
because. too, he seems altogether likely
to get it, despite the opposition OF the
almost solid Federal crowd
Governor Cammins recently, in a
speech at Senator Delivers home city,
for Delivers seat in the Senate. The
Junior Senator's reply to this was a
declaration of opposition to Cummins.
which was telegraphed out 10 Iowa. and
in which Mr.. DoiIiver declared for Cum
Minis antagonist This became the SIG
nal for a determined effort TO line up
the Iowa delegation solidly against
Cummins. and to employ the full infiu-
ence of all the members, in their re-
spective districts. against the governor
denomination.
Cummins Makes InrOads.
The effort has met some setbacks,
chief Of which has been the refusal OF
Congressman Heugen, BirdsaIl, Conner,
and Cawson 10 take part in the fight
against Cummins. Their districts are all
Cummins' territory. Then Congressman
Hedge. whose district is in the very
heart Of anti-Cummins territory, discov-
cred a lot Of Cummins sentiment IN the
Il NH
some postoffice contests that had been
growing embarrassing, at last convinced
Mr.. Hedge that he should withdraw
from the race for denomination
Congressman Hull was relied on to
make fight against Cummins in the
latters home city and district But
this plan, likewise. has gone awry be-
cause one of HILLS old-time political
managers, George l.. Dobson, has come
out as a candidate against Hull, and
has already started 10 tell all the secrets
he has learned about Hull's politics In
the last dozen years. This development
took Hull in hot haste to Iowa.
Pierpont Morgan in It.
Dobson opened up by telling a story
of how Hull got $4,000 from :. Pierpont
Morgan for use in the campaign two
years ago. when there was a bitter fight
against HulTs denomination. Hull de-
MES it, and today comes from Iowa a
story that he has brought suit for SLAM
der against Dobson. The situation is
fast developing into the hottest in the
country. The Washington end of Iowa
feels that IL must suppress Cummins or
he will presently become the entire
political power OF the State.
Secretary Shaw's Presidential boom is
one Of the political institutions of Iowa
that are conceived to be endangered by
the rising tide of Cummins sentiment.
1t is expected that in his address at Des
MOines. of Friday night, the Secretary
will stick some pins into Cummins and
the Cummins' movement. and that his
appearance viii give new turn to the
contest.
