Tho Mayor Of Berlin.

One Of the principal requirements OF
a mayor in Germany is unqualified hon
esty. for in the municipal administra-
ton of Germany graft in any form
would not be tolerated. To become the
moyor OF a city Ike Berlin the ap-
plicsnt must have established his repu-
tation for efficiency IN governing other
German cities. His career Is carefully
scrutinixed by the members OF the
town council who select him, for not
only must he be competent and sue
cessfully perform the duties Of bis high
position, but still so young as likely to
remain competent for many years, for
mayor in Prussia Is elected for a
term of twelve years and II not re-
elected after that period Is entitled to
a life pension Of half the amount OF his
salary. After a service Of six years
his pension is sone-fourth Of his salary
and after serving twenty years two
thirds. He need not necessarily be a
resident of Berlin at the time Of his
appointment-in fact. the mayor Is usu-
ally chosen from the residents Of other
cities.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1908-01-29
rhsrs,s n Reason.

Municipality governed plants do NOT
have the close supervision that is CIV
en- to plant conducted by corpora
ton or private company.
The officers In charge Of a municipal
plant are usuGlly satisfied IL the books
balance up ut the end OF their term.
They have no interest in the institution
beyond the time OF their term OF Of
fee. let the next administration
take care OF that problem" Is the
usual reply when future troubles are
anticipated. And that Is the reason
why the next administration" is Of

Middlemen.

The first step in effectlng a mutual
understanding between the public and
the utilities companies is TO eliminate
the middlemen-the legislators who
introduce strike bills In order to extori
money from corporations whose legitt
mate business is threatened and the
city bosses and councilmen who de
mand money for themselves or posi-
tons for their henchmen as the price
Of granting franchises or privileges
necessary to these companies to con
duct OF extend their business-for the
public welfare. These men are not a.
they claim, representatives Of the peo
pie, but traitors to the people, for ev'
cry dollar which they wiring from cor
porations comes ultimately from the
pockets OF the people. These men per
form no useful service. They are mere
ly leeches, fattening on the mutual
needs Of the people and the corpora
tiong.

Children and csnd y.


Give children plenty OF pure sugar,
taffy and butter scotch and they'll have
little need Of cod liver oil, says DR..
Woods Hutchinson In Woman's Home
Companion. In short. sugar is, after
meat, bread and butter, easily our
next most important and necessary
food. You can put the matter to a
test very easily. Just leave on the
pie. pudding or other desserts at your
lunch or midday dinner. You'll be as
tonished to find how quickly you'll
feel empty" again and how "unhn-
ished' the meal will seem. You can't
get any workingman to accept a din
ner pail without pie In It. And he's
absolutely right The only thing that
can take the place OF sugar here lie
beer or wine. II is a significant fact
that the free lunch counters run In
connection with bars furnish every
imaginable thing except sweets. Even
the restaurants and lunch grills at
tached to saloons or bars often refuse
TO serve desserts Of any sort They
know their business! The more sugar
and sweets q man takes at meal the
less alcohol he wants. Conversely,
nearly every drinking man will tel
you that he hes lost his taste FOL
sweets. The more candy a nation con
sumes. the less alcohol.

SOLD AT LARGE LOSSES.
Four Towns Find Municipal Plants Are
Too Expensive.


Too Expensive.
In Iuks. Miss, an electric light plant
was installed in 1900 at cost OF ST.
900. In December, 1906. It was leased
because Of the difficulty in keeping q
competent electrician" to quote the
words OF the mayor
From Council Grove. Kan, comes
word that the "city. formerly owned
the electric light plant, but made a
failure of operating 1t and sold dy-
namo, engine and wiring for $3.50. The
present company rebuilt the entire
system and is giving satisfaction The
rate was a little lower under city con
troll, but did not meet expenses
Some time prior to 1902 Bourbon
Ind, contracted for an electric light
plant and issued bonds In payment
therefor. On the ground that It had
not been constructed In accordance
with the specifications the town re-
fused to accept 1t, and the bondhold
