1t has been a popular fallacy that in
order to get efficient common-sense
government it was necessary to elect
Big ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Office.
This is all wrong.
New ideas and ideals, new and i'm
proved methods are most needed,
which is a point ably emphasized by
Secretary Woodruff, of the National
Municipal League, who, in a recent
speech, said, ga leading manufacturer
might be poor manager of a farm aud
an eminent surgeon might turn out to
be iamentable failure as hank pres.
ident, and just so either might be a
failure as mayor of great inunicipal-
ity. What is really needed is a man
with new ideas, right methods, and
adeqdatei experience and training for
the position"
incidentally, this plea 10y Secretary
I Woodruff directs attention to the work
which the National Municipal League
has been doingsall these years.
This organization which is composec
of an earnest group of civic expeat!
and men who do things rather thar
dreams of them, has been one of tn,
foremost agencies in The country in III,
education of public sentiment for RICH
ideas and practical methods.
Instead of adopting this or tina
theory dealing with one problem o
another, the League has Investigate,

process, many eXceller schemes hay
been evolved for the betterment of loca

been tremendous factor in the nre

suggestions which, taken collectively

4 ter Of the election Of United States
Senators by direct vote Of the people
aud the first act Of the new democratic
! house of representatives was to pass
the resolution submitting TO the leg
islatures Of the Union the amendment
to the constitution changing that in
strument and proyidir z for popular
election Of senators. The resolution
went to the senate and though there
were persistent efforts made to bring
the resolution to vote the matter 10y

very Objectionable amend ment Of
cred by senator Bristow, of kanas,
providing for the supervision: OF the
election Of senatorsby the general gov
eminent. This is a blow at sthe south
aud one which will be apt to cause The
ultimate defeat of the resolution. The
South regards this provision little
better than the famous force bill
which the republicans tried to force
upon the people of the South more
than twenty years ago.
We are glad to say that both of the
democratic senators of this state voted
against the amendment but after the
amendment was adopted they voted
for the resolution as amended rath er
than see the resolution defeated entire
ly. 1t seems certain that the house
VIII refuse to concur in the resolution
as amended and we hope they will
not give way in the conference. South
erners cannot afford to put rope
around their neck and give it to the
radical republican party to hange them
at It's will. With the election snprivis-
ed and controlled by trust ruled and
trust owned administration would de-
feat the whole purpose of the proposed
provision. The same
force which now controls the election |
of majority of the senators would |
still control and the our last state |
would be verse than the first.

FROM Virginia comes the DoVelly VI
municipal government administered
by a general manager whose proto-
type is to be found in every large cor
poration. This scheme, which is known
as the "Stauntol Plan after the city
where it is in vogue, is modification
of the commission form Of govern
ment.
Three years of experimentation have
been satisfactory to Staunton, with a
population in excess of 1900, and one
Of the most enterprising communities
in Virginia. When, in March. 1908, it
as decided to give the general roana-
ger, a chance, it was argued that coun-
ciImep, having thel. private affairs,
could not reasonably be expected TO
give their time and services gratuit-
ousIv to the community. This, it was
pointed out, led naturally to indifIer-
| ence and TO the administration of at
fairs by select few or by contractors
interested in public work.
Under the new plan, il IS reported
that this system Of favoritism is a
thing Of the past
In his new book, "City Government
by Commission, Clinton Rogers
Woodruff, secretary Of the National
NJ unicipal League, refers at length TO
the "Staunton Plan" also quoting
John Crosby, president of the commits
sion council of the municipality. Says
Secretary Woodruff IN one place:
"The constitution of Virginia requires
cities to maintain their mayor and
council, and In cities of the first class
those having population of ten
thousand or more two branches of the
council are required. Therefore, MI
Crosby tells ua, Stanton was unable
to abolish the council and adopt
commission form of government.
However, as the provisions of The code
permit the council to establish such
Office as may be necessary TO conduct
properly the city's affairs, the idea of
general manager was conceived. +"
In the main, the terms of the ordi-
nance adopted by the Staunton coun-
ell and authorizing the general mana
ger, prescribe: !
That the two branches of council
shall appoint yearly, in July, "an Of
ficer to be known and designated as
general manager.
That the general manager shall re-
ceve salary to be fixed by councils |
and shall employ paid clerk.
That the general manager "shall de-
vote his entire tine to the duties of /
his office, and shall have entire charge /
and control of all the executive work
of the city in its various departments,
aud have eHtire charge and lcontrol of
the head Of departments and employees
Of the city. He shall make all con
tracts for labor and supplies, and in
general perform all of the admiuistra-
tive executive work now perform ed
by the several standing committees of
the councils, except the finance, ordi-
nance and auditing committees. The
general manager shall discharge such
other duties as may from time to time
De required of him by the council"
