painfully on the high step, thrusting
out a tentative foot, but unable either
to jump or scramble so far. Suddenly
one of the dispensing girls, a fine, tan.

NO GRAFT IN MANCHESTER.

Quoted Like a Private Business.


Quoted Like Private Business.
In Manchester there is no spoils sys-
TEN, there is no observable graft, there
are no bosses, says Samuel Merwin in
Success. The managers of the differ
ent departments of the city govern
ment are permanent officials who have,
in most cases, worked their way up
through the department. Thus, to the
general manager of the tramways de-
partment, ]. M. McElrpy, the business
Of managing Manchester tramways is
the business of his life. There is no
graft in Mr.. MlElroy's department, be-
cause he is held strictly accountable
for the expenditures of his department
not loosely but strictly accountable.
There is not even honest" graft, for a
government. The obvious reason,
which lies on the surface where any
one can see 1t, Is the fact that Man
chester has been developing and per-
fecting the idea of representative gov
eminent, while Newark, New York,
Chicago, st. Louis and Pittsburg have,
little by little year by year, been losing
their hold on the idea of representative
government.
In order to work effectively represen
tative government must be simple In its
outlines. A certain number of men are
chosen by their fellow citizens to carry
ON the organization Of a cooperating
community.
In theory, every voter has a hano
in the government. In fact, the town
meeting idea is so cumbersome as to be
impossible in the management of q
large city. SO the city is divided into
districts, and each district delegates
its governing power for a time to GER
tain individuals, who are, In return
held to account for their acts as par
ties to the government. These dele
gates, or representatives of the people
meet and organize in order to carry OF
the business of being q city.
In Manchester If you brush aside the
surface complication that Is all there II
to 1t. The business which these repre-
sentatives carry on Is not simple II

1t has been found that the business
Of conveying citizens about the streets

private corporations, as we have don,

greedy exploitation of the people. This
since the people control the govern
ment it has been thought wise t
avoid. Consequently, the representa-

organs, or combination of them,
arises, death finally ensues. Thus

Insidlously, like many other diseases,
it creeps upon the brain in the form
Of single, constant, never-lost idea !;
and, as dropping Of water over a per-

Occasional worry the brain can cope
