likewise IS an efficient factor for good
government in Cleveland where he
has served as a member OF the upper
chamber OF the local legislature. ana
IS now state senator. If every law
firm in the country contributed 3S
much and as effectively to the cause
of municipal advancement as the firm
OF Garfield & Howe, we would DC On
the high road 10 a most satisfactory
state of municipal efficiency.
Speaking of the municipal voters
league of Chicago and its remarza bly,
successful career, brings to mind the
fact that 1t is conducted almost en-
tirely by young men. One of its guild
ing spirits is Walter L. Fisher, net
for from 40, and is a most forcetul
leader in Chicago local politics.
Associated with Mr.. Fisher is. George
G. Skies, TO whom, as the administra-
tive officer, is due much of the eff
cheney of this justly famous body 1t
is singular tribute to their public
spirit that Notwithstanding their al
most constant attacks upon the vari-
Gus corrupt candidates who have Cun
for office, their own sincerity and in
tegrity have never been successfully
questioned. Chicago is indeed fortu-
nate in possessing group of vigor-
Gus and aggressive young men who
have done yeoman service in behalf of
good government, to mention whom
would take the better part of a column.
Up in Minneapolis, after the disclos-
ures concerning corruption and police
completely with vice, made the remov-
al of Mayor AmeS a matter of public
decency and necessity, the board of
aldermen turned to we'll known
young business man, David Percy
Jones, and made him acting mayor I'M
til the next election. A little over a
year ago he was made mayor for a
full term and is likely to be reelected.
He has generally shown a deep and
abiding interest in all that pertains to
his city's welfare, and he is establish
ing new records of efficiency. His in
terest in the general problem has been
shown by his membership in the eX-
ecutive committee of the national
municipal league He is distinctly an
advocate of the principle of placing
public duty above partisan or fact1onal
considerations What success he has
in his position is due to the fact that
he is entirely independent and can hit
hard at the glazing abuses. His integ-
rity is sound, his public spirit uniim-
tied. his record one of splendid
achievement.
Coming east again to New York. we
find in that city large groups of young
men who are working away steadily
and oft-timeS inconspicuously for the
cause of good government. so i'm Phila-
delphia, Boston, Baltimore. In each
of these communities. as in many
more which might be mentioned
there are live, active, municipal bodies
largely composed of young men de-
