BRIGHT FUTURE Is
AHEAD FOR CITIES
Continued From First l'age.l


luncheon given in his honor at Ae
Harrisburg Club to-day by the Cham
Der of Commerce and the Rotary Club.
h Mr.. Albert has Just completed
survey of eighty-one cities and as
result he predicts that the nation is
upon the eve of the greatest awaken
ing to civic betterment and improve
ment in the history of the whole world.
Cities are better and more honestly
governed now than ever before, he
said. This he pronounced due to the
interest of the individual in the mu-
nicipal government. The city govern
ment is no better and no worse, he
asserted, than the interest or lack of
interest of the individual makes it.
Good government is not the result of
laws" said the speaker. Nobody ever
devised law that would automatically
result in good government. Because
some cities governed by commissions
are we'll governed is no assurance that
the commission is the panacea of all
municipal ills. Most of the well-goV-
erned cities of to-day are governed by
party. Politicians and political lead
ers and politically chosen commissions
have been back of most of the great
recent municipal developme ents and
improvements"
The cities of America. he said, are
spending more money than was ever
! spent III IKE manner before. lot Cuu-
cation. recreation and the bringing of
beauty into the lives of the poor, and
he made n plea for even greater eN-
penditures along these lines for the
| future.
| Mr. Albert's address was eloquent
and inspiring, but not such as may be
easily summarized He repeatedly re-
! ferred TO the evidences he has found
of live civic spirit in Harrisburg and
closed with a plea for more careful
regulation of building, with an eye to
beauty. and for the creation of q great
| civic center here.
| The speaker was introduced by T.. ;.
! Herman, president of the City Plan
ming Commission, who said that no
| better evidence of a quickened interest
/ in civic affairs in Harrisburg is re-
quired than the attendance of 115
members to hear a municipal address
on such an unpleasant day. President
j. w. Bowman presided.
Mr.. Albert will be the guest of the
! Harrisburg Rotary Club at dinner at
| the Harrisburg Club at o'clock this
evening. at which there will be round
table discussion of Rotary. Afterward
the Chamber of Commerce, the Ro-
tary Club and members of the Civic
club. with friends. will attend Il lee
ture by Mr. Albert at the Technical

here there has been q disposition to
believe that Villa sympathiZers may
have cut the ground wire laid by

case, IL is said there will be good rea-
son to fear for the safety OF Lieuten-

known regarding the place at which
the two officers disappeared. If they
lost their bearing and got out OF their

The fact that Willis and Gorrell car

anxiety over the mishap.
