sentiment, along sound lines.
For years the attention of Amer
leans has been directed to the effic
jiency of the German cities, and WI
have marvelled at the wonderful
achievements of administration
there. But there, efficient govern
ment is given rather as a gift from
an overload, than as the outworkins
Of the desires and aspirations Of the
people themselves. The problem be.

ate"
Mr.. Woodruff then launched into
a number of examples taken from
the records of various American cit
les to show "that the city admins.
tration cares for the people who are
working in, the public behalf" He
then continued:
'There is another movement
however, which calls for attention in
any consideration of conceptions OF
American municipal government
and that is the movement popularity
known as city planning, q phrase
much more often used than defined.
There was a time when it was prac-
tically a scheme for the city beauti-
full, but now it has a much richer
and much more comprehensive
meaning! It's development has been
in accordance with the growth Of
the movement to place our cities up
on a more substantial, more re.
spectacle, a more useful basis.
"Here we have another phase OF
the new conception of municipal
life; that is, the obligation| resting
upon the community to develop
healthy men, women and children
healthy physically, healthy morally
and healthy spiritually; and the
amount of thought and time and at
tention given to promoting these
ends during the past decade is one
of the big encouraging factors in
American history"

TO Be PROHIBITION
ON trains NOW

Denver, Nov. 23.-Railroads tra-
versing Colorado to the Pacific coast
are falling into the prohibition col
umn and it is probable that dining
cars of several lines in the near fut-
ure will be ..'boozeless." The Den
yer & Rio Grande railroad yesterday
issued an order stating that the sale
of Intoxicating liquor would be dis
continued on the entire system OPP
Grated by the road with the going
into effect of the Colorado prohibi-
tory law next January. The result
will be that the roads dining cars
will be converted into waterway
ons' in prohibition and nonprohibi-
ton territory.
Judging from the views of local
officials, it is quite probable that the
same policy will soon be adopted by
the Burlington, Colorado e South
ern Rock Island and the Missouri
Pacific roads.
