TAFP'S CHANCES

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE first
practical step in President Taft's cam
paign was announced today. IL be-
cs me known that the Presidents man
ayers haC begun the work of strength
ening Mr.. Taft,s political fences in
his home State, Ohio.
According to the statements made,
the Ohio machine politicians are re-
ceiving more consideration now than
they have at any time during the pres
ent administration. They are being
given better jobs not only in Ohio but
throughout the federal service.
This announcement, coming IS 1t
did on the heels of a statement from
Oyster Bay, that campaign tour of
Iowa would probably be undertaken
be Colonel Roosevelt next week, is
regarded here as significant.
Oyster Bay dispatches also an
nounce that former President Roose-
welt has practically resigned all hopes
of winning over to the Progressive
party the New York Republican club,
of which he has long been member.

SELECTING MAYORS
IN GERMANY

AS a contrast between the American
system of political mayors, taken tenn
porarily from some other vocation,
serving short terms, and in some OF
the more progressive cities subject
to recall at any time when the voters
get tired of them, it is refreshing TO
turn to the system in Germany, MUS
trated by the recent selection OF
mayor for Berlin, the fifth city OF the
world, with a population in excess OF
100000.
The new mayor, Adolph Wermuth,
showed his executive capacity in charge
Of the German exhibit at the Worlds
Fair, Chicago. He later served ia the
interior department, then became
priyy councillor and later secretary or
the treasury, resigning that high office
in March last, owing to difference
of opinion with the chancellor over the
Inheritance tax
The aldermen of Berlin select the
mayor. They are not limited IN
choice to any resident of the city, but
are free to employ the best expert tai
ent obtainable at the salary, which IS
81, 900 a year, a considerably larger
salary according to German standards
than it would be regarded in this coun-
try. The new mayor is the tenth to
hold the Office in the 104 years since
Berlin was incorporated. The average
tenure of Office of his predecessors has
been about eleven and one-third years
His immediate predecessor served since
1899. and six years prior to that time
as vice mayor Before being selected
as vice mayor of Berlin he had served
as a municipal official at Breslau. COM
mencing in that municipality in 1878.
Another Illustration of the difference
in system is the case of the mayor OF
Munich, who recently visited this coun-
try. He has been mayor of his city
for nineteen years, following upon some
years of other work for the munich
pality.
The Germans look upon the mayor
of a city as man retained to do Ger
tain public work, not as a politician
seeking rewards for political activity
They endeavor to get the best qualified
material and to keep a mayor as long
as he gives satisfaction. He is merely
a municipal expert, standing in the
same relation to the taxpayers of a
city as the president of a railroad or
Industrial corporation stands to the
stockholders. - Seattle Post Intelli-
gencer.

How 70 revive the falling supply

discussed by the association Wednes-

nurse, and TO Offset this higher
standard by raising wages. shorten

the privileges OF nurses. He advocat-
ed an eight-hour day for them.
Several members objected that the
supply OF nurses was now so low that
the high school qualification would
tend to check II materially. Miss c.
