A Municipal Newspaper.
From the Chicago Evening Post.

From the Chicago Evening Post
When, late last year. the voters Of Los
Angeles passed an initiative ordinance
providing for a municipality owned news
paper they received quite a flood OF
good natured If wholly gratuitous adj
vice from the country on how such a
newspaper should be conducted. Un-
fortunately-or perhaps fortunately-the
ordinance itself Is rather precise in Its
indications as to how the municipal news
paper shall be edited, and the first num-
bers of the Los Angeles Municipal News
stick pretty closely to the lines laid down
in the ordinance.
The closest 1t gets to human interest
isn't very close 1t is no closer, in fact,
than cut and dried party politics. There
is one page headed Party Politics.
Under the law the central committee OF
each party is entitled to a column In
which it can state its views. This oppor-
tunity is scornfully declined by the re-
publicans, who refuse to use the space at
their disposal. But the democrats, the
good government organization, the So
cialists and the socialist-labor1tes nave
all taken advantage of the chance. III
makes a four-ring circus, which, perhaps,
is plenty.
At present the Municipal News comes
out only once a week. Perhaps when a
political campaign is on and the COM
mission which edits the journal Is I'M
pressed with the need for light on the
various issues, we shall see the Municipal
News in hot competition with the cap
italist'' press of Los Angeles. But II Is
much more likely to degenerate into a
purely official organ-such as New YORK
city has. for example-for the advertise
ment Of municipal needs, calls for bids.
departmental reports, and that sort or
thing. When that day comes the
Municipal News will be filed away care
fully in the Office of every public con-
tractor and every real estate agent. but
1t will not go into the homes OF the
common people," no device having yet
been conceived to interest the latter In
the outline and minutiae of municipal at
fairs.

Comes With Olive Branch.

Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein comes.
as German amba ssador to this country.
with a quietly advertised olive branch In
his hand In this new character, dra-
matically at variance with the past ca
reer of this fascinating and singularly
able personality. England is delighted 10
welcome him. There is no party and no
man i'm England who does not cordially
desire a real Improvement in Anglo-Ger-
man relations But all the talk OF I'm
provement will end where all previous
attempts have ended, unless the facts
are fairly faced. These facts are naval.
Germany has made herself the second
naval power in the world although
her military might is unquestioned
and although the extent OF her sea
borne commerce and of her colonial
empire does not necessitate so i'm
posing display of naval strength
In doing so, Germany has challenged
British supremacy at sea, and has. by
Implication, threatened British inn
perial security. She cannot succeed In
wrestling from the lead in naval
power No British government could
dare to jeopardize the very basis OF our
national and imperial existence. We
shall go on. whatever the cost, in the
race for sea power which has been
forced upon us. and We shall remain
supreme.

TEN YEARS FORWARD
IN IOWA POLITICS

nor Albert B. Cummins was inaug-
urated governor of Iowa. Ten years
since the progressive movement gained
a foothold where it could begin to have
influence. Some there are who say
that the work is all done; but they
also said it was not worth the doing, or
that it was all done years ago. Some
there are who affect to believe that
Iowa people ought not to consider any
of the larger problems of government,
but should confine themselves to max
ing money, increase of population, ETC.:
but their ancestors used to boast that
autocratic government is always the
most profitable to all concerned. Then
there are others who say there are no
new issues aside from material pros
perity; but they forget that good gov
eminent is a first requisite to good
business
The issue which at least gave the
victory to the people was one which
related to the share which the great
corporations might have in govern
ment. That was an Iowa issue: but
it is identical with one of national i'm
portance. There is a struggle going
on, at Washington now. a struggle be-
tween two ideas as to government pur-
pose and control. 1t centers around
the supreme court. Shall that court be
tribunal for the people or one for
the interests? Iowa is vitality con-
cerned, and Iowa has part in that
contest by presenting a candidate for
the supreme bench who represents
popular government. Yet in some cir
cles everything is being done to con-
vince Iowa people they have no interest
in that issue, but the rather that they
should devote all their thoughts to
farming 1t has been ever thus that
the foes of good government have been
able to distract attention from real is
sues. This is only one of many ques-
tons before the people, in line with
the forward movement in American
politics.
Ten years Of progress in Iowa have
but shown the need of going on in the
same way. The corporations were
driven from conventions but they have
not been driven fr.m newspaper Of
fices. The 10 bbyist no longer haunts
the legislative assembly but he sets w
an office and operates a publicity bu-
reau. The primary system has stopped
source but perhaps there are other
ways of pollution that must in time
be STOPPED. Economy in state govern
ment has been secured; but still there
are educators who agitate for the Dor
rowing of millions Of dollars and the
mortgaging of the future to experiment
with their revolutionary ideas There
is need of continuing by recognition
of the fact that what we have is good
but we may have better.
Just ten years ago. Albert B. Cum
Minis took up a good work for Iowa am
for the Iowa people; and while he is
carrying that work into the larger
field of national politics those who
were associated with him in the Iowa
field know full we'll that there is yet
something to be done here, and they
have the belief that it can best be done
by adherence to the broad principles
CT good government which have been
so effective in the past.
