Requirements o. Cities.
After many years OF s!ndioue and
intelligent research and invesiiEa
ton. the late William r Gladstone
announced his conciuHion that in
order to build a great city. three
things we're absolutely essential.
First honesty and Intelligence IN
public officials. second. good sani
tatiou. and. third. cheap bread.
To this ny experience and inves.
,ieation have led ne 90 add a
fourth. viz. The homo and good
citizenship
II Is evident 20 any thoughtful
person that no government can BE-
a success unless It's public officials
are honest and intelligent In the
performance and discharge 81 their
duties. and. strange as Il may seem
the standard Of honesty and intel
ligcnce tn public officials rarely
rises above the standard set by the
people In other words. n public
official and his acts are a reflex OF
the public once IN a while We
find a Washington. n Lincoln. or a
Roosevelt Who rises above the drift
Of the tide Of the public and strikes
boldly ont for the haven OF better
civic and moral conditions.
The modern American city Is 70
cruited and built In les population
largely from the fragments OF
broken homes In the older coun.

portions OF our own country. and is
lacking TO some outent IN the moral
ties and discipline OF the home Of
earlier time. aud IL has become the
duty Of public officials In our mod.
crn citiea. and more particularly
such as Seattle. 10 inculcate moral
ideas and enforce discipline, 20
some extent, resembling that OF the
old fashioned home.
Good Sanitation.
The existence OF the old axiom.
"A sound mind I'm sound body,
Indicates the belief that from OF
old. good sanitation has been
deemed an essential OF life. The
gathering Of thousands In urban
centers. where formerly but hun.
dreds dwelt, has made the necessity
OF good sanitation far more I'm
portant than ever before. To Sc.
cure these conditions there is de
handed an abundant supply OF
pure. fresh water. perfect sewage
conditions and clean streets. and
the acquisition of these necessi-
ties demands the expenditure OF
enormous sums OF money and the
exercise of the highest skill The
