WHERE PEACE is ENDURING
For More Than Century Uncle Sam
and Canada Have Been

Before me lies a letter from Mont

about 1t is the cancellation stamp Of
the Canadian government, "Gi-ard'
writes in the Philadelphia Ledger.
Upon the wide field of the British

mihder: Help to win the war; Buy

Canada is helping to win the war
not only with her dollars but with heg
men. Half million have already en-
listed, and that is like Pennsylvania
sending an equally large army to the
'front.' the population of Canada being
not quite so large as that of our state.
Curiously enough, most Americans
know much less about the government
Of Canada than of England, France,
Russia or Germany.
We forget that July l is Canada's
Fourth Of July, and that the dominion
came into being just fifty years ago.
We forget that instead of thirteen
colonies, as we had, Canada had but
four provinces.
We have had states and territories,
but Canada has provinces and dis
triets. There are now nine of the for
mer and five of the latter.
Ours is a republic, but Canada is a
dominion.

MbaiGERS IN FORTY CITIES
New Plan of Municipal Government
Has Grown More Rapidly Than
Is Generally Known.

If somewhere, sometime, In the ever
booming and quite frequently bloom
ing West there is not evolved the per
feet plan for governing a city. it win
not be for lack of experimentation
with governmental schemes. A good
many cities and towns scattered over
the map Of the United States took up
with the idea Of government by COM
mission during the first decade of the
new century. There was a subsistence
to the rush for the commission govern
ment scheme about FIVE years ago.
Then, In 1913, the Ohio legislature put
through bill formulating what is now
known as the city managing scheme.
The Idea has been acted upon to
an extent that the majority Of people
are not aware of. Dayton, o., was
the first city Of over $4,000 popula-
ton to try-out the manager scheme,
but there are now about 40 cities
80 governed. Twenty urban commu-
mites employed a manager last year,
Grand Rapids being the largest city
next to Dayton trying the new scheme
Of government. The city manager plan
seems to be only variation Of the
commission government idea. There
is commission. generally Of five, be-
hind the manager, and the COM
mission generally appoints the mana
ger.
The city manager plan has been
adopted even in states where there
is no statute providing for such a plan
Of government. The idea involved is |
being applied In many instances
without any change in the framework /
under the old councilmanlc and city /
mayor forms of government.

cIean.un pav for State

The state Of Rhode Island appoint
ed a cleanup day and a considerable
improvement resulted. One Of the spe-
cial features was the removal of many
advertising signs along highways, from
fences, trees, poles or other conspicu-
Gus points. In several counties loads
Of waste lumber, consisting Of what
had formerly been large signs, were
distributed as fuel among the poor.
A special statute gives any person the
right to tear down and destroy all
signs Of an advertising nature along a
public highway in the state of Rhode
Island.
