that is not much, is 1t?
Merely this:
That he played many parts in life-and

that hereditary diseases kept knocking at
his fevered brain; and that a Thyestan des-
tiny dogged him. And the beginning Of that
destiny's fulhllment was when the Kaiser.
who had loved to play at war-as he played
at painting and preaching and verse making
and hunting-found suddenly that his stage
world had become real horribly actual. a
fiame-swept world of war
But neither you nor I can be quite sure
for Wilhelm II is the enigma of his genera
tion.
He is more mysterious than the Man in

behind a dozen masks. And no one knows
his real name.

Besides, the ships are needed to carry pota-

who want work instead of charity it will not

Millions for public works would have been
a real oasis for men who want jobs and can't
get them. But the erudite gentlemen who
guard the municipal treasury found so simple
and excellent a solution Of the problem en-
trely beyond their comprehension. Not that
they are Simple Simons, for they have been
known TO trade and barter with success. but
because they enjoy a good game, and there
is no game quite SO exciting as politics.

the departments for which each seemed best
fitted and have been in daily session since.
Each member specalizes on the work of
his department, acts accordingly and gets
immediate results.
Joint action of the whole body is quiet and
easy, and conclusions are reached without the
long disappointing, veXatious and oftentimes
costly delays characteristic of the former
system Those having business to transact
with Council are surprised and pleased at the
Intelligent and expeditions way of handling IT.
Under the old system members of Council
strove to get what they could -or the wards
from which they were elected This resulted
in sectional development without regard to
the best interest of the municipality as a
whole.
Now ward lines are practically eliminated
and city improvements are planned on a COM
prehensive scale with reference to the pres
ent and future needs of the entire city
BY dividing municipal business into depart
ments and placing a Councilman, designated
as superintendent, at the head of each re.
sponsibiltty has been fixed and this arrange
ment has borne most excellent results. There
is no shifting Of responsibility from Common
to Select Council, or the reverse. or from ths
Mayor to the Controller
Responsive Responsibility
The superintendents. commonly known as
commissioners, of the several departments,
keenly feel their responsibility, are quickly
responsive to the just demands Of complaint
ing citizens and to the necessities of civic
Improvement, and are careful in the expendi-
ture of money to secure those common bene-
fits. Contracts are enforced; their provisions
are not stretched or waived through
favoritism.
The benefits of the new system may be
briefly summarized as follows, in so far as
the city under consideration is concerned;
Log rolling has been done away with
The pork barrel is thing OF the past
Fixed responsibility
Continued sessions. Council always ready
for business.
NO time-consuming delays.
Economy and efficiency
The awakening of civic pride
greater interest manifested in municipal
affairs by the people.
These, the dreams OF the visionarles'' who
advocated the adoption OF the measure, have
become actualities in the City on the Lake.

say have mot and conferred and decided.
To this part Of the program Mr. Ware will
attend and to that Mr. McNichol will give
his attention; for even as juicy contracts
must be divided fairly between the two, so
likewise must the lawmatlng Of the Com

them SO has 1t been decided and so will
It be done.
Most OF the things on which Philadelphia
has set her heart she will get say the

contracts and contracts require contractors
and there are no contractors who stand n
chance except the two who are going to
