William Grosvenor, of New Yor, Il

The committee recommended that

Mr.. Grosvenor opposed the report
saying:
THE Jew knows what the Christ

and gettos, and suffered persecution.
In America he is doing his best to fit
into American institutions. After the

BEST GOVERNED
CITY IN u. S.
Claim Made for Dallas Under
the Commission.
City Finances Carefully Managed
Bringing Order Out Of Chaos Pub
lie Improvements and New Pave
meRtS---PubliC Confidence Was
Restored.

81. R. Hornady, in Savannah Press.l
The best governed city in the
United States.
This broad claim is male by Dallas,
Texas, the sentence appearing upon
practically all OF the literature PIT
out by the commercial organizations,
and it is urged as one of the prime
reasons why prospective settlers and
investors should locate in that city.
In considering this boast some al
lowance must be made, perhaps, lor
the boundless enthusiasm and optinl-
ism of the great Southwest, but that u
has some basis for existence even the
most casual visitor must concede.
Dallas has had little over thr e
years experience with TIE commission
plan of municipal government and it
has been a period of revolutionary
changes; changes affecting evecy
phase of existence in this yirile COM
munity.
Prior to the change of government
Dallas experienced the same political
unrest and business stagnation that
characterized the cities of Galveston
and Houston under tb aldermanic
system. The people had little conf
dence in the officials who were
charged with the conduct of the pub
lie business and refused to provide the
means for carrying on improvements.
Graft and outright robbery played a
part in tLh creation of this general
feeling Of distrust, and it was empha-
sized by the known efficiency of the
scheme OF government. 1t is doubtful
if Dallas was ever 50 thoroughly
graft-ridden as Galveston or Houston,
but it furnished the most Caring IL
lnstration Of tie possibilities of the
system and the largest single instance
of dishonesty.
Prior to the change i'm the form of
government, persistent rumOrs Of
wrongdoing in one office led to an in
yestigation of this office by the audit.

AS a matter of fact the newspaper
are generally fully on a parity witr
the towns in which they are published.
Given a town where the people are

eager to promote every enterprise in

public spirit that does things, and one
is sure to find a newspaper vibrant
with the same spirit, eager to pusa
ahead, expanding more Of it's meaDe
and it's energies than the conditions
actually warrant
Where conditions are reversed TIA

The local newspaper is of far great
er value to the community than any
paper, no matter how pretentious, Glow
large, and how enterprising that il
published elsewhere. The trouble too
often is that the people WHO knock
the local newspaper spend more mon
ey on. out of town papers than they do
on the home paper and then wonder
why it does not flourish like the prov
erbial green bay tree. The same peo-
pie, as a general rIle, are found
knocking every public project that
comes up. They get saturated with
the knocking spirit and simply cad
not help exercising it at the expense
OF the place in which they live.
The Georgia newspapers as a whole

eliminated entirely. At tie same time

has not ridden both of 'em, there
has been a deceptive optical il
fusion that fooled a lot of peo-
pie. He undoubtedly made many
voters believe he was going
dry when he was awful wet.
Citizens of large cities thought
they saw Hadley giving them
home rule when in reality he was
giving them a political, police ma
chine that would still allow them
to live if they would be good.

whether you will stand by that

The gerrymander scheme that

been frustrated by democratic
state officials. When did the
officers and subcommittee of the
Republican State Committee be-
come "'the people?'
While the republican gerry
mander petitions were being
passed about for signatures, Dick
ey and Hadley circulated the re
port that democrats were signing.
An examination of those petitions
now in the custody of the Secre-
tary of State proves that the re-
port was a base SANDER. Demo
cratic names are conspicuous by
their absence. Democrats were
not signing away their right of
representation.
