MUNICIPALITIES THAT
POINT n A

PUN iHE WA T.
Whenever the people of a city try
to do anything for themselves, they
find the charter in the way; they find
that the charter was not made for
the many, but the few; not for dem
ocracy, but for an oligarchy formed
by a union of greedy politicians and
| greedy plutocrats. And this IS what
Galveston found.
But it is evident that in municipal
government Galveston and Des Monies
and Cleveland have pointed the way.
| What they have done, all cities can
do and will do. For one city is all eli
ties; they are all alike in essentials,
just as people are; they have their
Municipalities, AID their special
needs and little differences; but, in
the large sense, they are all alike.
And so we may say that, so far as
charters and paper laws go, the way
to municipal reform lies along these
lines:
1. A charter that provides simply
and directly for a few responsible of
ficials, with a mayor and a small leg
i~slative or councilmanic board chos-
en- from the city at large without ref
erelce to wards.
2. Non-partisan nominations and
elections
3. The initiative and the referen-
dunn, including the submission of all
franchises to the people.
4. The recall.
5. The merit system for all employ
ees other than heads. of Departments;
and, most important of all,
6. Home rule on all subjects of a
purely local nature, the right of taxa.
ton, and the police power so far as
purely local.
With such a charter a city would
be free to realize itself; it would be
a city for the people; it would be a
city in which each man would have
a chance to develop his own life and
powers; it would be a city in which
above all, special privilege, the great
foe to equality and brotherhood
would be abolished. 1t would be, il
a word, a democratic-an American
city. OF course, the law is not all; i
is not even first. Good and wise PEG
pie can get along better with baC
laws than bad people can get alons
under good and wise laws. The peO
pie are everything. AS Walt Whitman
says: The greatest city is that which
has the greatest men and women l
may be but a few ragged huts; it i
still the greatest city in the world.
But with the people themselves il
power and the right law, the Ameri
can city will speedily become TIL
ideal city of which men have dream
ed since time began.-From "Th'
Spread of the Galveston Plan of Cit,
Government" by Brand Whitlock, il

iNtNACAi " IL d 4 IASA\"
The canal DOL its rise from a point
near Asiut and ran almost parallel
with it for nearly two hundred n
fifty miles creeping along under the
western cliffs to the Nile valley, with
many a bend aad winding, until at
length it gained an eminence so as
to turn westward through a narrow
pass and enter a district otherwise
shut off from the fertilizing floods on
which all vegetation in Egypt de-
ponds. Through this cut ran a perel-
NAL stream.
In the time of the annual flood a
great part of the canal was under wa
ter and then he rivers current would
rush in a more direct course into The
pass, carrying with it the rich silt
which takes the place of manur and
keeps the soil in a constant state of
productiveness. Some travellers see
in this waterway only a natural arm
of the Nile modified and controlled
by engineering skill, but there is a
probability that the tradition which
traces it to the wisdom of The Egyp-
tian premier of Biblican fame is re-
liable. 1t is supported by accounts
written by Greek and Roman histo-
ria1s. such as Herodotus, Strabo, Mu-
tianus and Pliny.
These explained that the canal dug
by the ancient ~Israelite served to car
ry the surplus waters of the Nile into
an extensive lake lying south of Fa-
youm and so large that it modified
the climate, tempered the arid winds
of the desert and converted them into
the balmy airs which nourished the
vines and the olives. OF the stupendous
undertaking and the vast
available at that remote antiquity
some idea may be formed from what
is known of more recent undertak
ings of similar kind. The Mahmudje
canal built in 1919 by Mohamed Ali
connects the Nile at Rosetta with AL
exandria, and irrigates the Ian il
this region. 1t was completed in one
year, but it required the combined
strength of $50, 900 laborers and cost
800, 900 francs.

H ANTIQUITY
OE IRRIGATION

From Denver Field and Farm.
In this age when irrigation is the
great question, at least 80 far as the
arid regions are concerned, it may be
interesting to know that according to
tradition one of the canals planned
and built by Joseph, the son of Jacob,
in Egypt is still extant and still
serves the purpose for which it was
designed. This canal is known as
Bahr Joussuf, and conveys the water
of the Nile to the province of Fayoum,
making it possible for a large popu-

Rich Nebraska Man Lives on Fifteen
Cents Day.

Even the late Russell Sage, the rich
money lender, Of New York, could
not have held a candle in saving to
"Tax Title" Seaman, who lives near
Omaha, Neb., and manages to exist
on Is cents a day. Seaman is rich,
very rich, but ne never spends more
than the amount stated. He is 90
years old and a bachelor A wife
would have been expensive.
He made his money by trafflcklng
in tax titles, hence his nickname.
Seaman says S. a year is plenty for
a man to spend for clothes and still
look well dressed. He says it is un-
necessary for one to spend money for
car fare, so long as one is able to
walk. Seaman always walks even
when he has to go to Kansas City or
Denver, good distances away.
Seaman lives in tumble-down
shack about FIVE miles from Omaha.
He does his own cooking, sewing and
cobbling. He walks to Omaha every
morning to deal in tax titles and in
the evening walks back to his home.
He sometimes takes breakfast in
town at place where he says he can
get a meal for five cents. Occasion
ally he is extravagant and spends
eight cents for his breakfast. This is
not often. He lives chiefly on bread
and finds nuts a cheap and beneficial
substitute for meat. He never drinks
coffee, tea or liquor.
