US q Target array of the upper class than any other city in the world.
1t certainly makes the petty One Hundred of Chicago look very small

1t is to be noted, however, that our Fifteen Thousand are not
to be granted the freedom Of the library nor trusted with any large
liberty. The programme announces that they will DO admitted to

NEW CHARTER rs
ATTACKED BY TEDDY
Declares Proposed Measure
For New York City
Is Improper

New York, n. Y, Aug. S1.-The pro-
posed new charter for New York City,
and especially that part which increases
the powers of the mayor, is attacked by
Theodore Roosevelt, in an editorial pub
lished today in The Outlook. ''The
methods of imposing a charter says
Col. Roosevelt, upon the people of New
York-it would be a rank absurditv to
speak of the process as granting a char
ter to the people of New York-by those
in power at Albany unfortunately the
events of the past session have made
most men feel that this is merely a
roundabout way of saying those in con-
troll of Tammany) give an almost ideal
illustration of how not to act in the
matter of self government"
The former president objects particu-
larly to the provision for increasing the
mayors authority over the finances and
education system of the city, and to
taking away the governors power to
remove the mayor upon charges. He
also finds fSult with what he terms
''the method of thrusting the charter
upon the city" and contrasts the meth
DDS with the wide agitation and pub
licity that preceded the adoption of a
constitution by Arizona and New Mex
leo, (which contain together not much
more than one-tenth the population of
