Honor, the highest honor that has come
to any American woman from the French
government. This was in recognition of
the work of the American novelist in or
ganizing workrooms for the UNEMPLOYED
in Paris, hospitals, orphan asylums and
clothing warehouses.
Mrs. Nina B. Duryea and Mrs. Mary
Hatch Willard, American women who
headed great relief organizations in
France, were also honored by the gov

1t is with the coming of the nurses,
however, and the story of their heroism
under actual fire, that the hearts Of their
American sisters beat with new pride.

PHILADELPHIA HAS,
NEW GOVERNMENT

The city of Philadelphia has re-
Gently adopted a new municipal char
ter, designed to render impossible a
repetition of the scandals incident
to the contractor rule of the Quaker
city in recent years. Chief of the re-
forms is the creation of a single
chambered city council of twenty-one
members to take the place of the un-
wieldy two-chambered select and
common councils of las members
cumbrous bodies easily controlled by
corrupt city contractors.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania is
highly gratified over the change that
has been brought about. 1t marks a
victory for him in a long fight with
the Wares, who for years have held
control of Philadelphia's business af-
fairs and m~onopolized the letting of
municipal contracts. From the begin
ming the senator has championed the
rCform bills, and remained in his
state to support the fight for them
while they were in process of legis-
lation, returning to Washington only
after they had received the signature
of the governor.
In commenting upon the triumph of
popular government in his state over
the contractor-ridden system that has
prevailed for so long, Senator Pen
rose gave voice to some sound advice
regarding local administrations in
general that should be taken to heart
by every municipality in the country.
He holds that national politics have
no place in the selection of local Of
~ficials, and that only when political
considerations are eliminated from
city elections will it be possible to
elect the most efficient executives.
One general principle is clearly
establishing ITSELF" said Mr.. Penrose
upon his return to<the national cap
ital. that municipal government in
creases in efficiency in exact ratio, in
which it is divorced from partisan
politics. In this connection | might
state that, in my judgment, party eff
f~iciency and capacity for general
public service increases in the ratio
in which it disentangles itself from
municipal politics.
NO system of municipal govern
ment which strives for administra-
tive eficiency-commission rule, CITY,
business management or any of the
forms which u the gamut from ex-
pertinent to success-can function
properly or completely along party
lines. Non-partisan nomination and
election of municipal officers. and
their responsibility direct to the peo-
pie without the confusing i%nterven-
ton of the party titles of national or
state political organization. is an es-
entail for efficiency in city admins
t~ration. in my judgment. 1t is an
absurity in logic to mix protection
or free trade with highway paving or
garbage disposal; to associate the
league of nations or the M~onrone Doc
trine with trolley fares or street
cleaning"
