COMMISSION FORM
OF GOVERNMENT

Cincinnati Nov. 16-The spread of
the municipal form OF government has
been rapid, according to an address
by Clinton Rogers Woodruff. secre-
tary OF the National Municipal league
at the convention of that organization
here today
After years and years of founder
ing between scandal subserviency TO
corporations on the one hand" he
said, "and ignorant, or vicious or dis

the progressive communities OF the
country have recently been coming to
the inevitable conclusion that TO get
this business of the people attended

the commission form Is all right. 1t
is an important, an unqualified sue
cess. but no plan can be devised which
Is self operative or which will relieve
the people from the responsibilities
of self government"
Mr., Woodruff said a conspicuous
feature OF the movement for the COM
mission form was the impetus IL had
given to the agitation for the short
ballot
Mr. Woodruff asserted that some adj
vocates of direct nominations had
been disposed TO consider the law as
the beginning and ending of their
work, overlooking the fact that the
direct primary was an opportunity, not
a cure. The most that good laws can
DO is to make it more difficult for the
reactionary elements TO promote evils
and easier for the progressive ele-
ments to advance the general welfare
of the community.

"The central bank of issue offers

Popular society stay

is not possessed by cacoethes scribendi,
which is such a marked characteristic
of oar middle class. AT holiday time,
at any rate, monsieur is apt to shrug
his shoulders and philosophically ac-
cept things as they are; madame is
too much occupied with her appear
ance and the vagaries of her children
to care about outside affairs, while
bebe reigns, triumphantly in the hotel,
making what noises he pleaseS, taking
late dinner, with wine, occupying all
the arm chairs in the garden. and or
ganizing piratical raids, with his con-
temporaries, to the confusion of the
mere grown up visitor. None of the
three which make up the French fam
lily is conspicuously interested In abb
stract questions and a newspaper cor
respondence, such as we are famll1ar
with in England, would be unthinkable
in this land of common sense. Never
theless, it would be amusing to see the
experiment tried, for the letters writ
ten by French men and women would
be masterpieces of epistolary style,
scinti1lating with wit, compared to
the bald record of their woes With
which our suburban correspondents
fill whole columns of space in the daily
papers. For if we could not expect
reasonable Frenchman to confide the
secrets of his life to half penny
newspaper he would be extremely
diverting on the subject of those minor
ills which cause the Anglo-Saxon to
descend to such depths of banality.
This is an English comment to be
sure, but how much of it we assimilate
to our credit or satisfaction is accord
ing to our American discretion.
