Engineer to Service

THE growth of the commission manager
plan is developing the most unique group OF
public servants in the country; not politicians
or transplanted business men, but a new type

There is Ashburner, for instance. He was

fill the Staunton Va, post when the city mana
ger idea was first put into effect.
At the time he was engaged in engineering
work on the Chesapeake e. Ohio railroad. He
had experience also as an engineer and build
ing contractor in New York, Porto Rico and
elsewhere.
For tire years he served Stanton as city
manager, working as best he could under an old

HOME RULE IN
 IRELAND SAFE
 SAYS LEADER
ConScription Will Not Be FOrCed-IreIand Must Remain in a Sane
 Condition.

WATERFORD, Ireland, Oct 13.- In a notable address to his con- stituents here, John Redmond. the Irish Nationalist leader in Parliament, declared that despite the recent re- belllon, with an its inevitable after moth of brutalities, stupidities and inflamed passions" home rule for Ireland is safe if Ireland remains sane.
 Redmond also declared that con- scripton could never be forced upon Ireland, adding:
 "I cannot bring myself to believe that malign through the influences at work are, the government will be in- sane enough to challenge a conflict with Ireland on this subject. Con- scription for Ireland. far from help ing the army and the war; would be the most fatal thing that could hap pen. It. would be resisted in every village in Ireland. It's attempted enforcement ,woul be scandal which would ring around the world. It would produce no additional men"
 Continuing, the Irish parliamentary leader said:
 "The mere threat is paralyzlng re- crulting, which. mark you, is not dead as some people say. The latest figures indeed show that from the date of the rising Caster Sunday) until September 6,OOO recruits were derived.
 This demand for conscription is not a genuine military demand. It is a base device put forward by men who want to iniure and dIscredIt Irelands political future"
