The Miami Metropolis which realizes the import
ance of newspaper giving its readers the best and
safest advice it can get all public questions
especially those which directly interest the home
town. chdes in gentemanly, but none the less Sc
we're manner, the Tampa Times for attempted
prejudicing of the people against the city manager
form of government by calling it 'autocratic.
The Tampa Times said: Isn't it singular illus
traton of human inconsistency that after waging a
war to make the world safe for democracy we
should turn around ana place cities under AN
autocratic manager?':
And, reproducing the paragraph. the Miami Me-
tropolis replied The Times is, of course, making
this remark jest, because the Times surely be-
lieves in the efficiency that only be obtained
by providing business methods OF conducting public
affairs, but there probably many of the Times
readers who are just ignorant enough to be misled
by the unwise paragraph"
The city manager form is undoubtedly coming. as
the business manager has come to make any great
business sure and the true wise newspaper will help
its people get ready for its coming and assist the
coming.-Tampa Tribune.
