WHAT VICTORY OR DEFEAT
OF GERMANY MEANS TO
EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN

Said Nietzsche: II bring the new
doctrine. Be pitiless." Nietzsche was
boasting. The doctrine was not new.
During the Franco Prussian war, Bis
mark preached it. Leave to the CON
quered," he exhorted, "but their eyes
to weep with" Nietsche added: "We
do not. love humanity" That state
ment the kaiser revised. Humanity
he declared, sends at the frontier"
Two years ago, in an address to the
army of the east, this fellow called
for the death and destruction of al
who opposed his mission. What tina
mission is, Belgium and France car
tell, If Germany wins, her methods
there will be repeated here. Women
will be defiled. The youth of the Ian
will be first unsexed and then enslav-
ed. We will be the thralls of a nation
of swine. If Germany wins, that is
our destiny. On the other hand, if, as
every white man hopes, the beasts arc
crushed back into their sty, the, joy
of Christendom will be such that it
may induce Second Advent.

Rewarded For
Real Efficiency

Walter J. Johnson, formerly editor
of The Evening Leader, now is city
editor Of the Savannah Press, the
leading afternoon newspaper of Sa-
vannah, Ga, according to information
which some of his friends in Tarpon
Springs have received.
The appointment of Mr.. Johnson te
the city desk of the Savannah Pres
was effective Monday, October l
Sometime prior to that date Mr.. John
son was notified by the management
that he was slated for the position.
Many persons in Tarpon Springs
will remember Mr.. Johnson and ma.
be interested in his promotion. H.
was with The Evening Leader fror'
April, 1915, to April 1916, as the mast
head of the paper shows, coming her
from The Evening Independent in S
Petersburg.
From Tarpon Springs he went back
to st. Petersburg, where he joined
the staff Of The St. Petersburg Daily
anaeserrc III 1910 MT. Johnson joiner
the staff of the Savannah Press, on
which he began as reporter and
worked up to his present position of
authority. When promoted to the city
editorship, he was reporting railroads,
banks and exchanges, which is consid-
cred the biggest and most responsible
assignment on the paper next to tn,
city desk.

THE MANAGER PLAN

Miami seems to have been noting
the progress of municipal affairs in
st. Petersburg since the present Off
Gals assumed Office, for the Metropo-
lis is now advocating the city manager
plan of government. The Metropolis
is not pleased with the way the city
officials have been conducting the bus
mess of the city and has the following
editorial in a recent issue:
Summed up, the city manager form
of government is to make "nobody's
business" somebody's business. Its
ideal is to remove city government
from politics and politicians and from
the hands of men whose private af-
fairs come before nublie- hlIsipes and
agement into business-like system.
In number of cities where the
city manager form of government has
been adopted, public affairs are run
ming more satisfactorily than was ever
known under the old form. Economy
without parsimony is possible. Waste
largely eliminated, and what is per-
haps the most satisfactory feature of
this system, it is possible to carry a
grievance to a responsible authority
for correction.
J ''1n other words, public business is
no longer 'nobody's business under
the city manager plan. 1t is possible
TO fix the blame or to fix the praise,
as the case may be, and somebody is
in authority at the municipal building
who can act in the city's interests,
with none of the passing the buck
that is Incidental to the so-called fed
eral plan Of city government.
"If Miami, for instance, had city
manager-selected with intelligent re-
gard to his fitness for the work-it
would be his business to tell why
Biscayne drive is in it's deplorable
state. 1t would be up to him to have
it remedied, if he had to fire the
engineer to do it. This man would
also be supposed to hurry up the work
on the bridges. He would also be re-
sponsible for the mosquito breeding
places, for unsanitary conditions, for
unclean sidewalks, for badly devised
traffic laws. In short, he would be
the citys' business manager, hired for
efficiency and integrity, and the COM
mission elected by the people would
stand in relation to him very much as
the directors of a corporation stand
to its business manager in whose re-
sponsibility the stockholders entrust
their property.
sit has taken many years to arouse
the people to realization of the
fact that a city is simply a form of /
an incorporated business, that the
people are the share holders and that
it is as foolish to put this business
into the hands of hit-or-miss politi-
clans as it would be for any business
concern to secure its business officers |
by means of partisan politics.
And even yet this idea of a city !
being a great business corporation !
needing business management is not I
sufficiently prevalent to have aroused |
much interest in this new form of /
government which Miami is about to
consider. The Metropolis knows of no
general interest in the question, and !
yet, it is question of immeasurable
Importance to the city's prosperity
and future. 49, ...E

the charter under which it will oper-
ate?"
The city manager plan is a good
one, provided the right man can be
found to be manager, but it is not so
easy, in this country, to get men who
know how to handle the affairs of a
city. To be city manager requires
more than just good business judg-
ment and ability. In Europe city
managers are trained in school and
then go from city to city just as {
good superintendent of factory may
be called, at higher wages, to city
l 900 miles from the one in which he
| lives.
In st. Petersburg the modified city
manager plan has been found to
very satisfactory. Here we have a
city commission and three managers
each in charge of department of the
city's affairs. The mayor has his
own duties to perform and they are
important. Each man is responsible
for what happens in his own depart
ment. The city administration here is
made up~of men Of ability, each witt
special knowledge in his own line of
work and the results that have beer
accomplished have been very satisfac
tory to the tax payers. The record
made in st. Petersburg in the las
year has attracted attention in all
parts of the state and has started the
city manager bee buzzing in other
lplaces than Miami.-St. Petersburg
Independent.

DESTROY WOMEN'S CLOTHES
 AT WHITE HOUSE
suffragettes Prevented from Displaying Banners Di-
 rected to President.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Tearing of banners from pickets of the Woman's s party at the white house gate and at tacks on the party's headquarters at , Lafayette park continued today. Good natured but determined crowds tore down the banners as fast as they ap- peared. The only violence was reported by Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the party, who declared that a man in a sailors uniform had snatched at the regalia she wore across her shoulder and as her feet slipped the man drag ged her some distance. She exhibited mud-smeared costume in support of her charge. 1
 All afternon the activities con- tinued, women losing their banners either as they left headquarters or as soon as they appeared before the white house. The police paid little attention until near dusk, when re- serves cleared the streets and formed a cordon about the pickets at the east gates of the white house. |:
 There was one fight among several men that promised to become serious, but when the banner that caused it had been torn to shreds, the partici- pants appeared satisfied.
 One woman who carried a banner lost most of her clothes and had to wrap herself in the banner itself be- fore she started thru the crowd to headquarters
 Another delighted the spectators by calmly reaching into a white stock ing, pulling out a banner, and unfurl- ing it. Officers of the party said to, night one banner addressed to :"Kais- CT Wilson" and 49 others had been de- stroyed. j
 Secretary Daniels issued "a state- ment today warning persons con- nected with the navy not to take part in demonstrations against the wo- men. Y a~.

REST THEATER.

Today.-One of the million human incidents and condolences of the great war concerns the making of Caste" the Greater Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature which will be the at traction at the Best theater today. Peggy Hyland is the star of the pie ture. with Sir John Hare, the famous English actor, appearing in the chief male role, but the hero is portrayed by Roland PertWee, another noted English artist
 In the action of the piece, the hero goes away to war and in time is re- ported dead Later, however, it trans pires that he was only a prisoner and when there came an exchange of cap tives he was permitted to return. This very thing was the experience of Mir. Pertwee. He was one of the thou sands of English actors who early of- fered their services to their country and he served in the trenches for more than two years
 Early in the present year he was captured in an engagement, in which he was wounded, but. was reported among the dead. For months nothing was heard of him, but when the Brit ish and Germans arranged for an ex- change of wounded prisoners Pertwee was among the Britons permitted to return to England It was while he was convalescing that he was engag- ed to play With Miss Hyland and Sir John Hare.
