Democratic candidate for mayor, de-
clared that Detroit knew little OF the
evil effects OF "the open town" until
two years ago.
"The frst sign Detroiters had of a
new era In city management came
when II became rumored abroad that
q public Official who. all agree, was
the best this or any other midwest

doomed large In both the business and
social life-was to be displaced In ia
vor of political lieutenant OF our
present mayor. Despite the opposi-
ton OF both press and public. Frank
II. Croul had to step down and Mr..
Gillespie stepped up. Why2 30
cause political debts had to be paid
Then, too, the city's attack on civil
service has offered another disgrace
full spectacle. For many years most
Of US worked for some such law as
that now on the statute books. When
we finally got II the city began its
employment of experts to break 1t. It
discharged water board employees. The
employees took the matter up In the
courts. The city retained Expert
Frazer--who ! see has just lost the
Gilman case--to uphold its stand. He
lost. the men got their jobs back, and
we now have two sets Of employees In
the department where there was but
one before.
"The city's expenditure for 'ex-
perts' and professors pure waste all
of it-amounts to 81 for each family
In the city.
Respect for the law has been low
cred by open defiance Of the law. This
applies equally to traffic and saloon
laws. Men are forced to break the
law to preserve themselves In compe-
tition with men who have no scruples
about breaking the law.
This sort Of thing has got to stop
some time. and 1t might as well be
now" N.
