in individual terms.
A new civic and social spirit is
fast developing in the United States
The past decade has seen a wonder
full advance in many of our large eli
ties in the identifying of water
fronts, in improved municipal build
ing of parks, Fairgrounds, and
boulevards, and in the improvements
connected with streets, paving, light
ing and sewerage. Many cities have
appointed public welfare commissions
and there has recently been started
school of city planning in New
York. But with this development Of
social ideals ana new civic standards
comes the realization that welfare
program is futile without efficiency,
that our governmental machinery is
i'll adapted to city conditions

government between the European
city and the American city would

American and the European city.
Several years ago, Mr.. James Bryce,
one of Americas most friendly critics,
declared our city government to be our
one great and conspicuous failure in
government What was true even ten
years ago is not wholly true today, and
we hope that the next decade will wit
ness such changes that that statement
will be wholly false The American
people are awakening to the fact that
the city is an accompanying factor of
modern progress. 1t is here to stay,
and rather than being a necessary evil,
it may be force for the highest public
good. We hear a great deal about the
advantages of country versus city life.
We are told that most of our great men
are a product of country life But per
hapS this may be due to the fact that
our cities have been slow in grasping
the idea that they have social respon-
sibilities and hence have failed to de-
velop the highest possibilities of man.
Not only in the United States but all
over the world, the present generation
has experienced an industrial devel-
opment which is unprecedented in his
tory. This mas meant the rapid chang
ing from rural to urban life Popula-
ton has become congested in the city,
and with this congestion of population
have come many attendant ills; poor
housing, bad sanitary conditions-a low
state of morality and corrupt and in
efficient government. Science was not
applied to city building and the city
like Topsy-just "growed up."
The evils and corruption IN city life
have been intensified in the United
States through our inherent passion
| for individualism. This principle has
nodded our government, both national
| and local Our country has had vast
and seemingly unlimited resources. The
opportunity for individual initiative
and enterprise have been correspond
ingly great. Therefore government was
! thought to be necessary chiefly to pro-
| tect these individual interests and
property rights 1t was this attitude
toward the freedom of the individual

needs of each community and copied
institutions always prove a failure.
But there are certain characteristics
Of government in which the Europ-
can city has surpassed the United
States. These are: first, honesty
and efficiency in administration.
This is not because the American
sense of honor is less highly develop
ed, or that the American morals are
necessarily more corrupt, but there
is no efficiency in America because
there is nothing to attract men of
power, ambition and ability. This is
result of a difference in the ma
chinery of administration. In Eur
opc, there is a more simple machin
cry The city is governed by ex-
perts, selected without regard to par
ty and with special training for the
posts they occupy. Cities advertise

cial as well as political missions to

and permanent tenure In America
there is complicated labyrinth of
caucuses, primaries. conventions and
a blanket ballot many feet in length,
The voter is helpless and popular
government is impossible moreover
on the part of the office holder. The
short term of service and the system
of checks and balances destroys re
sponsibility and thus tends to inef-
ficiency, to boss rule and to special
interests.
Again the American city has been
hampered and hindered by the laws
of the state. 1t is a creature and
often a puppet of the state legisla-
ture. This fact partly accounts for
the peoples lack of loyalty to their
city. There is no city feeling be-
cause the city has not done enough
to create a city feeling. How diff

A Comparison Between the American
and the European City
(By Miss Myrtle L. JOhnston)
It would be utterly impossible and
also Improbable to attempt anything
like a complete or an analytic COMPARE
son between the American and the Eu-
ropean city. But certain European
cities have recognized and solved to, a
lar greater extent than the United
States the industrial and social prob
lens of city life. Such cities have been
an example and an inspiration to those
who are studying civic problems. Many
american students have gone abroad
with the especial purpose of studying
the municipal governments of foreign
cities and they find the cities in South
crn Germany the most fruitful for such
study other European cities, especial
" in France and England have many
of the same characteristics as the Ger
man city, but for all around efficiency
none equals the German city, therefore
the German city has been taken as the
type for this comparison between the

Let this Governmental trucking to Rome

Vice-PreSident Marshall Has
His Fling of Your Uncle
Z. E. w.

Jenkins Bryan has signed up with Lee
ture Association for another series Of repeti-
tons of the slobbergosh speeches that he has
been regularly repeating for the last 20 years.
1t is reasonable to suppose that Vice Pres-
dent Marshall will also sign up with some
Bureau, for the repetition of some Of his
oratorlcal outbursts.
One of the most eloquent speeches that lit
tie Tom ever made, was to the Brewers Asso-
citation, out in the Middle West, where the
brewers and the beer are both very strong.
On that eloquent occasion, Marshall
declared, In effect, that he viewed with alarm
and rising indignation the misguided efforts
Of those sour minded Puritans whose opinions
were unfavorable to the unlimited sale and
consumption Of liquor of all kinds.
The Prohibition papers copied Thomas
speech, and they said some things about him
that were almost indctabe.
Various distant friends of mine, who help
me edit this paper, cut out the clippings con-
tanning toothsome extracts from Thomas
Marshall's wettest speech, and suggested that
I offer few remarks
However, Thomas was at that time remote
speck upon the horizon, and [ was parboiling

what the Prohibition papers had said against
brother Marshall was plenty.
Therefore, [ do not find that our Cedarbug
