has their loss bereft us, with past
ages they are linked. Other things,
too, have departed like dead f,res
that famed and winked; passed and
left us sombre-hearted-note the
hustle, long extinct. Fate most
surely meant to peeve us when she
took the bang away, and tits quite
enough to grieve us that the hoop

passed herself April blanched, but
she took the blow standing. AFTER
all, she had been as great "A TOOL as
the girl sitting there, for she. TOO,
had handed over her good name
into the careless hands OF another;
had sold her reputation for q song
"a song that had lasted seventeen
days. but seemed now In the act OF
becoming a dirge.
"Do you mind telling me what
happened, so that l win know ex-
aotly where we stand and what
there Is to be doney'
Diana laughed.
There is nothing TO be done"
April forgave her the laugh be-
cause II was not composed OF mer-
riment or any elements OF joyous
ness. II went TO Geofrrey's cabin.
because we had things to talk over,
and II seemed the only place where
we could get away from prying
eyes. Somehow, I stayed on Ind on
not realizing 1t was so late-aVd d
then-and then"-she began to
stammer; defiance left her-"then
that awful knocking-those faces
staring in-all those brutes Of wom-
en!" She covered her eyes with her
God. / am done for!"
April thought so, too. 1t seemed
to her they were both done for, but
there was not much help In saying
so. Diana's confession horrifed her.
and she saw that her own future at
the Cape was knocked as nat as n
house of cards that Is demolished
by the wayward hand of a child.
Yet, at the moment, her principal
feeling was one OF compassion for
the girl on the sofa, who alternate
ly laughed and covered her eyes,
and now, with a pitiful attempt Mt
bravado, was attempting to light
a cigarette with hands that shook
like aspen leaves.
II suppose 1t was that cat Stan
islaw who started the search for
me-"
In a Panic.
'It appears that she got into a
panic when you did not return to
your cabin, and went and told the
captain, she feared you were over
board"
"The she-fiend! Much she cared
IL was at the bottom of the sea-!
She had pried out where / was, and
that was her crafty way of adver-
tising It to the whole ship"
II believe you are right" said
April, slowly. though II is hard to
understand how anyone could do
anything so studiedly cruel"
Cruel! She Is a fiend. l tell you"
cried Diana. "One Of those women
who have nothing left in their ma
lures but hatred for those who are
still young and pretty. / realized
long ago that she would ruin my
reputation If she could, but / did
not give her credit for so much
cleverness."
"well, at any rate, she is not so
clever Jas she thinks" said April
dryly, "for she hasn't ruined your
reputation, after all-only mine"
Diana started; terror came into
her eyes.
my God, April! You don't mean
to give me away?"
April knew very well what she
meant to do. She had tasted Of
"the triumph and the roses and the
wine," and the bill had been pre-
sented. Even though II left her
bankrupt and disgraced, she was
going to honor that bill: but she
could not resist finding out what
point of view was held by Diana as
to similar obligations.
"You think. then. 1t is my name
that should be left with the smirch
on it? she asked dispassionately.
Diana grew crimson and then
very pale.

Their report was most emphatic
Endorsement of the administration
and a complete refutation of the
charges and criticisms that had been
made. And once again the people
were satisfied that they were getting
| their moneys worth.
The First War Board.
When the World War came along
and it became apparent that Amer
lea must take it's part in the struggle
l once more called upon the public
| for cooperation and assistance.
Cleveland's advisory war committee,
popularly known as the Mayors War
Board, wholly non-partisan and
made up of more than fifty of the
city's leading citizens, was the first
to be appointed in the United States
and served as a model for all similar
boards later organized.
The service rendered the city by
this committee was invaluable It's
activities covered all the various
phases of war aids, reliefs, protec-
| tions, organizations and financing.
| 1t sponsored the War Chest and pro-
moted the campaign which raised
!; almost twice as much money as had
been expected. Virtually every ac-.
tivity in connection with local war
work was under it's intimate direc-
ton. No distinctively official board
could have commanded as much
high class ability or have accom-
plished such tremendously effective
results.
These four instances of going out
to the people and communicating
their active cooperation are cited as
probably the most outstanding ex.
amples of what have been able to
do in this direction. They prove
conclusively that the people will re-
spond when called upon, and will
function with exceptional loyalty.
But the great trouble is that the
people too often wait to be drafted.
Too often they stand back and criti-
cize when they should step up and
suggest, volunteer and cooperate.
You can be Of tremendous help to
your city if you will. 1t is your duty,
not the mayors or the city man.
ayers He Is merely your represen.
tative, your servant, more often the

ence becomes, the more wealth and
power he manages to acquire, the
more exalted his position in the pub
lie estimation, the more 10th he is to
put his hand to the wheel
Almost without exception it is the
rule that the men who loom largest
in the average city's Industrial, com
mercial and financial spheres are the
men who keep farthest away from
the city's official life--will have
none of it.
This is as unfortunate as it is true
For the welfare of the city very in.
timately affects the individual wei.
fare. Confronting every man is a
civic duty and responsibility that
cannot be denied Ones civic con.
sciousness should inspire him to
exert himself however he may for
the city's best interests, for the COM
mon good. Doing less than this is
not being true to your city.
You Have Responsibility.
Never lose sight of the fact that
you are just as much responsible for
the good government of your city as
any man in the municipality. That
SOME other fellow may be in office
matters not. Either you helped put
him there or you permitted his cleo
tion through Indifference. You and
thousands of others like you.
If public official fails in doing
his duty it is partly your fault You
could make him do the right thing if
you would. Public officials are all
alike. They hold their positions by
the suffrance of the people. They
4 want to do what the people say
they can be made to do it. So if
things go wrong and stay wrong the
people are not wholly blameless.
Cities usually get the kind of gov
eminent they want, the kind with
which they are satisfied. Public of
ficials, finger On the public pulse,
give the people as nearly as possible
what they demand. There is no use
trying to deny this. You all know
that it is true in your town as else
where. There are few exceptions.
Most public officials desire to
please their constituents first; next
the fellows who opposed them, if
possible. Most of them are open to
suggestions; are willing to listen to
any man for whom they entertain
the least bit Of respect. Not infre-
quently it happens that mighty ac-
ceptable pointers trickle in from the
outside.
1t might be we'll for you to become
better acquainted with yoyf mayor
or your city manager, as he case
may be.
Personally have always ound it
good policy to keep in as CID b touch
as possible with the men affairs
In my city.
Very early in my administration
