To Pull Down Prison.

The prison of st. Lazare is going to

OF old Paris, tiny shop in which the
last public letter writer in France
piled his trade. In olden times, be-
fore education had become general.
the public letter writer did a thriving
trade and the one just outside st
Lazare had many customers of note.
Among them was, If rumor and the
present proprietor of the little shop
may be believed, the world famous

There is one, and only one best way for

In another
There is not at the present time, city in
this country which is systematically finding and
using the best ways for conducting its various
municipal departments
I'VE believe that the only reason for this scat

inability of our many cities to find a common
meeting ground on which to thrash out the good
they have discovered from the bad they have not
known how to avoid

they cannot give 1t even to their neighbors be-

tained In the dawn Of economic interrelations,
when every man caught and cooked his own food,
prepared the skins for his own clothing and was,
in every phase of his activities, sufficient unto
himself
Now what we want to do is precisely analogous
to the secondary economic period, when two men
divided their labors and caught and cooked
for nourishment for two, and the other per-
formed like service in clothing the pair. Each
halved his effort and doubled his result.

Priscilla. 1t seemed, had decreed
that he was to appear as the Knave
of Hearts-hence this costume Of
pink and white velvet and the sug-
gestive little tray of-sugar hearts
instead of the legendary tarts. He
smiled sheepishly and blushed. All
right for Priscilla!
When he went downstairs the long
rooms were full of laughter and merri-
ment for Priscilla's s guests were choos-
ing partners by means of heart-shaped
cards that exactly matched.
Neal noticed that each guest put his
or her hand into bowl and drew what
ever luck came uppermost but before
he could reach the crowd around the
mems bowl Priscilla thrust 1 pink
paper heart In his hand and waved
him away.
Go find your partner, knave," she
ordered and Neal groaned for he be-
lieved that had been assigned to some
wallflower He read the motto on his
card: will you be my hearts de-
light?" That's mean of Priscilla
suppose it should chance to be that
dark eyed, skinny Miss Wicks?
So he emerged from the dancers
and found himself before an alcove
given over to a shaded seat and a
mass Of greenery.
Sometimes fate is kind to lovers;
therefore. when Neal paused in the al
cove and stared incredulously in was
because his beautiful girl was sitting
there-a veritable Queen of Hearts in
rosy pink and white and holding a
pink card that matched his own.
When she saw him she blushed.
"Oh. it is too bad of Priscilla" she
protested as he held out his hand with
his token in its grasp. She wouldn't
let me draw a card"
TOO good, you mean," he said
warmly and sat down beside her.
After awhile, when conversation Ian
guished. Doris Allen asked demurely:
What shall we talk about, Cabbage
and Kings?"
Neal shook his head. mo, let US
speak of the Queen of Hearts and how
she came to be selling sugar hearts
and I'll tell you the rest some other
time!"
He whirled her away in an enchant-
ing waltz and they quite forgot the
tray of sugar hearts in the alcove.
But the sugar hearts had served
their humble purpose-that of making
two people happy.

tanned community want Some of these wants
will best be supplied with the cooperation OF pri
vate enterprise Satisfaction OF others necessarily
will be deferred until methods to meet them can
be evolved additional sources obtained But
it should become the city's business to have them
supplied either by public effort or private effort
under terms and conditions that will adequately
protect the public interest
Granting these things, then-and they have
been pretty well established as fact by the work
of the bureau-it would seem that even If city
government along constructive lines were difficult
to get 1t would be worth making fight for. But
in this country in the position of standing
starving in the midst of plenty for lack Of the
enterprise to reach out and take what we need.
Countless cities all over the country, even ham,
pered as they are by want of codiied and acces-
sibe traditions and precedents, have contributed
out of their dearlybought experience improved
and tested methods of conducting city. These
methods are In practice now in these several
cities. Many more would come in their turn If
sufficient interest were aroused. but even without
waiting we have embarrassment of riches
fit to our hand.
And yet in all the United States, there is not
governmental bureau of information, not one
available source of finding out these things under
either state or federal government. When man
goes into Office and is ideastc enough and en-
thusastic enough to want to fill his office well,
and with benefit to him and 1t. he must write to
the bureau of municipal research here, private
agency. and ask what he may do. We are here
for that purpose, 1t is true and working
with might and main to prepare ourselves for his
questions but the fact remains that he should
be instructed under the authority of the govern
ment OF which he Is part, and not by an nde.

Now you Will begin to why
ious that President Wilson will agree to our sug-
gestions about Washington.
There in a city already under federal control,
where local politics do not exist, and where ma
tional politics not subject to yearly or bi
yearly upheavals-there is the finest kind of
opportunity for putting theory to the test OF
practice.
There is the whole machinery of federal gov
ernment to conduct research for which we
would have to pay millions Of dollars, and for
which they would not have to pay cent, and to
conduct 1t under men trained to observe and to
coordinate significant and important facts"
Gilpin observer., 1913-06-12

needed cooperation among cities all striving to-
ward the same end has not been undertaken long
ago. Perhaps 1t is because heretofore the rank
and file have not realized how much power for
good does lie in city government, and how pos
sible 1t Is, by sane and rational of this
power, to rid the world of countless burdens.
I'VE have evolved, 1t seems to me. very prac-
ticabe and sensible plan. You will find, in the
report which we have sent to President Wilson.
that we ask first for a survey of the city looking
to a precise knowledge of just what it needs and.
second, for the presidents influence to be put
upon the three commissioners of the District of
Columbia to have put into practice there all the
valuable things discovered in all the American
cities.
by this means hope to produce scheme
of government for Washington which will not only
meet its own needs. but will, by its adoption else
where, work a similar benefit.
The Importance Of the preliminary survey
must not be overlooked. We do not want to go
down to Washington and construct an ideal city
out of some mans head. We want to find. by
the most scrupulous and exhaustive search, what
1t is that Washington stands most in need Of
and we propose to supply her lacks by means OF
the information have collected in other cities.
THAT Is to say, we do not want to do 1t our
selves. Mr.. Bruere and myself have ambition
to get the job, nor even the supervision of 1t.
We want merely that President Wilson will find
us reasonable enough-and promising enough-to
set out along the lines we have suggested; and
that when the need arises for expert service In
the execution Of the plan, he will be able to get
the best brains Of the country to assist him.

1--WE need ideals of public service in municipal
governments, and we need ideals of plain business
efficiency. When we get them shall begin to
have some idea of how much a citys government
controls its whole social and political destiny,
