The Des Moines plan. while il
marks very great advance over that
which mas been applied very widely
ia this country, is defective in sew
erai respects.
In the first place no form Of ad-
ministrative organization can be eN-
uected to work with the utmost eff
cheney in which there is more tnau
one head. Experience under the
lies Moines plan confirms our state
ment that q five-headed government
will inegitably bring about friction in
the Departments. \ number of cities
have found tais 70 be true. Under
tie Sumter plan. of course, if there
is any biuins and scratching IL is done

or directive functions only. and Fheh

the council II is executed ~ man-

The Des Noines plan is also weak
because il undertakes to select eX

election with all due regard Tor the
ability Of the people to govern theIa-

want is to get results they are not
very much interested in the way
thIso results are achieved. II the ad.

conferred in The council, or commits

Is because he Is at perihelion, ike a
rocket which has Just attained its dir
ziest altitude in a blaze of glory, and is
preparing to descend UnOstentatiOusly
into an unsupported resting place behino
the woOdshed.
The college graduate is now busily
engaged in graduating before a large and
enthusiastic audience. He is doing this
with tremendous success, and juniors
and sOEhomores as well as professors are
assuring him that as soon as he has
stepped out into the world and has taken
a firm grasp of it, new era viii begin
and history viii henceforth become as
interesting as a magazine novel
This isn't the college graduates fault
but he suffers from it, nevertheless.
When he graduates he Is the biggest
thing in his college world, and cannot
be blamed for lying awake nights ana
wondering whether to take charge OF
president Wilson at once or to withhold
his advice from the nation for a few
years. The college graduate is conscien-
tiOus. and the thought of maliciOusly
concealing his pyramid of knowledge,
while the nation plods blindly into trou-
bic for want of it and stocks come down
on the run. Is unbearable to him.
