THE MEMORY OF THE HEART

If of dry and learned lore gain
We keep them in the memory of the brain;
Names things, and facts-whateer knowledge call
There is the common ledger for them all;
And images this cold surface traced
Make slight impressions and effaced
But we've page glowing and bright
On which friendship and love to write;
That these may from the soul depart,
We trust them to the memory of the heart.
There is dmmng-no effacement here;
Each pulsation keeps the record clear;
Warm golden letters all the tablet fill,
Nor lose their luster till the heart stands still

An Example of Inefficiency.

City Health Officer Davis statement that the
Richmond municipal crematory has been able to
dispose of only half the garbage collected during
the summer months serves to again call attention
to the deporable condition of the citys finances
The transfer Of the $4,000 appropriated to en-
large the crematory to another city account apt
ly illustrates the inefficency of the Zimmerman
administration; that no provision made In
the 1914 budget for this necessary improvement
emphasizes this fact all the more.
Other glazing examples of ineffciency in the
management of city affairs under Zimmerman
administrations the placing of approximately
$4,000 belonging to the special street improve
ment fund into the general fund, which sum the
city now has to restore to it's proper fund; and
the policy of refusing payments to the municipal
plant for street lighting. Next year there is a
provision in the budget for paying the plant the
actual cost of it's current used for street lighting
during 1914, but the plant will wait in vain for
the $4,000 it has charged against the city for
service rendered during "the best business adj
ministration Richmond ever had
The Palladium believes Dr. Zimmerman has
conscientiousy tried to administer the affairs of
the city government to the best of his ability
but his ability along such lines falls far short of
measuring up to standard. Efficiency apparent
ly is unknow to him, for he has never introduced
it into the executive department of the city gov
eminent, over which he has assumed direct con-
troll; he has played the part of mere figurehead
in the deliberations over important issues and in
many cases his appointments to city offices have
been merely to reward political supporters with
out consideration of their qualifications to per-
form the duties intrusted to them.
Summing it all up it is time to dispose of the
Zimmerman form of city government in Rich
mond and to induct into the executive office
man competent to introduce the efficiency sys-
tenn into the affairs of our government. In Will
liam J. Robbins, the Progressive candidate for
mayor, such man is available to perform this
important work.

throws light on the experiences and
attitude OF those municipalities which

commissioners take up the question
again.
{ Society Active.
Had it not been for the unflagging
zeal of this same Mr.. Barr Chicago
would not now be in the predicament
she is. Hitherto all the Chicago cleo
ton boards have considered the voting
machine unsatisfactory. The Chicago
Bureau of Publicity has consistently
blocked as far as it was able every
attempt to place machines in the city;
its Investigations into the subject it
is claimed have convinced it that the
devices are impracticable
All the Chicago newspapers have OPP
posed the introduction of the machines

La Porte County, Indiana, has re-
Gently been having the question under
consideration and was almost ready to
invest 100000 in Empire machines but
was deferred by the revelations made
at the Chicago investigation.
South Bend Fights.
ST. Joseph County, of which South
Bend is the county seat, has had a
prolonged and bitter struggle which is
not yet concluded.
Columbus, Indiana, was thrown into
turmoil several years ago through
the use of the machines. 1169 votes
were contested and an election upset,
according to the report.
1t was brought out at the investiga-
ton that the cost of using voting ma
chimes is far above the first estimates.
On the stand, Mr.. Taylor one of the
three commissioners, admitted that it
would cost Chicago $4,000,000 for the
machines before they would be
through with them, and then that they
would last barely twenty years. The
first cost, in this case, was $1,000,000.

The Case of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia is beginning to celebrate the
achievements of Mayor Blankenburg and his adj
ministraton. The Civic club of Philadelphia, of
which the late Mrs. Owen Wister president,
has issued pamphlet on "Some Achievements
in City Government Since January, 1912"
According to this widely quoted report the
Blankenburg regime got down to business in
January, 1912 and has since effected in the city,
which Lincoln Steffens branded corrupt and
contented," nothing less than a veritable revo-
lution''
Owing to the efforts of the reform admins
tration it is claimed the mortality rate was SO re-
duced that 1647 fewer deaths were reported in
1912 than in 1911. "Ninety-two per cent of the
saving of lives due to reduction in mortality
from preventable diseases, such typhoid, tu-
berculosis, and chidrens diseases. Sixty per
cent of the saving in children under five
years of age" The report goes to describe
how the school teachers, doctors and preachers
of the municipality were led to join in the
SADIE and to cooperate with the city authorities.
Boys were taught how to hunt rats out of the eel
lars and girls were shown the proper method of
screening windows, disposing of the kitchen
garbage, etc.
One of the effective methods, it is claimed
the organization of a cleaning week. in
which the whole city was enlisted in the work of
cleaning up. AS result 100 vacant lots were
cleaned and $4,000 cubic yards of waste was re-
moved.
The report says the city administration dur
ing the reform regime has cancelled number
of unnecessary and extravagant contracts enter
ed into by the former administration.
A school for police has been organized and
scientific instruction in police duties is being
taught the blue-coats. Manuals have been is
sued to each member of the force giving in SIM
pie language a digest of city ordinances rules
of the department, etc.
As result of the success of the Bankenburg
regime the report claims, business men are grow
ing more courageous and are losing their fear of
the authorities at City Hall. They begin to feel
that corruption in city affairs is eradicable
The Civic club is endeavoring to persuade the
citizenship to adopt as the motto of the coming
year the slogan, Economy and efficiency in pub
lie service To make good on this, the club is
urging the adoption of carefully worked out
and comprehensive plan for the coming year.
