bury. Berlin for less than a quarter
of the money was cleaned. The one
great item which in Berlin far exceeds
New Yorks is poor relief
"In Berlin, and to a smaller extent in
Paris, the general government under
takes some expenditures that in New
York fall upon taxpayers. But on the
other hand, London, Paris and Berlin
all undertake many things that New
York does not attempt.
'In the last analysis these three
three great cities, with more than TO-
600, 900 inhabitants, spend less than New
York. manage many more municipal
undertakings and enjoy far better adj
ministration."
More than any other city in the

Workers are reveling in extravaganza

cities are able to exhibit glaring rec

AS a general proposition it is safe to
assert that the existing system of NUM-
cipal government in this country has
done more to corrupt citizenship than
any other force. Graft in big cities is
practicable and easy only because of
the existence of a system of administra-
ton, common TO nearly all cities, like
that which has made the amazing
showing quoted from the World pos
sible.
Those Americans who are pleased tc
loll back in their Pullmans or elevate
their heels upon the steamer rails while
travelling and complacently tell one an
other that the American form of gov
eminent is the greatest in the world
evidently are not altogether familiar
with all the details of the system OF
municipal government in vogue in this
country. Many features of the system
are admirable, and on the whole pos
sibly will compare favorably with those
of the government of such foreign
municipalities as Berlin and Paris, but

tisan politics forms an essential fea-
ture of municipal affairs there will be
corruption. When Houston and Gal
weston and Des Moines shall have sue
ceeded in teaching the other American
cities that the plan that has permitted
of such corruption and extravaganza
as that noted in the greatest of our
American municipalities is radically
wrong, and that the policy of institut-
ing a purely business administration Is
the only way in which honest municipal
government will be attainable, then
and not until then can Americans
justly lay claim to being the best
governed people in the world. Berlin
teaches us how to avert the wasteful-
ness and rottenness that are common In
most American cities, and we should
take the lesson to heart.

LESSON PROM BERLIN

IN HE American metropolis affords to
the world the greatest example of
municipal extravaganza in history
Including bond issues New York
spent last year the astounding total of
$225 100000. and the budget for this
year reaches $14s,oOO0OO. The net
bonded debt of the city is now $780,
100000, or about $3.50 per capita. In
comparing the expenditures of New
York and Berlin the New York World
makes the following Illuminating state
ment:
1.-THE debt of Berlin was 500. 900 900.
the interest, aside from sinking fund
less than 100000. New York paid
last year 100000 in interest and will
pay this year $24, 1000, 600 about the same
as the federal government. Practically
the entire city debt of Berlin is for the
productive works mentioned 1t would
never occur to a German administrator
to charge against permanent debt the
repaving of a street. or luncheons fur
nished to hospital nurses, or the cost
of removing snow which the sun had
melted.

of 1905 are here compared with like
items for just twice the number of

EUROPEAN LAW OF TREASON
Assassination Of King or Emperor
Universally Looked Upon as
Its Gravest Form.

SON" The Journal adds: "In one
country, Italy, sentence to death can
not be imposed, and in Portugal we
believe that capital punishment is
not used, if not abolished. Under
the law of treason of the united
kingdom, which has been applied to
most of the kings dominions
abroad, with or without statutory
notifications, the killing of the king
is a capital offense by the statute
of treasons. 1t is there described as
comprising or imagining the death
of our lord the king BY later legis-
lation (of 1907 the elaborate pro-
visions special to trials for treason
do not apply to assassination Of the
sovereign or a direct attempt on his
life, and such offenses are tried in
the same manner as willful murder.
The result is that in substance,
though not in form, the killing of
the sovereign is triable and punish
able in the same manner as the will
full murder Of a subject, but the
crown may direct the execution to
be done by decapitation instead of
