CITY MANAGER PLAN BUREAUCRATIC SAYS
 CLEVELAND SPEAKER

Chicago, Nov. 17-Criticism of the city manager plan of civic govern meth as based on principles of aris- tocracy'' rather than democracy was expressed by Bradley Hull of Cleve- land in an address before the annual convention of the National Municipal League yesterday.
 ''The city manager plan sweeps us back to a, system we have repudiated, declared MT. HuH 1tNo matter who makes the mistakes, the people finally pay for them, and the people have a right to make their own mistakes. There never was time when the party organizations did not control on overwhelming majority of either the city council or the legislative delegation"
 The apparent breakdown in munic- ipal systems. he said was due to four causes:
 Lack of keen interest by the voters; lack of the right sort of leadership in party organizations; drifting of many voters marked by a high quail ity of intelligence, initiative and civic pride' to suburbs; and the influence of public service utilities.
 If the selection of the city manager is left to a legislative body rather than the voting public, he asserted, the party organizations will, in the future, enjoy a more permanent con- trol of the city's executive than they have had in the past

C. K, CHESTERTON ON FANTASTIC
 LITERATURE
British Author Says Few People Understand the Fantastic When It Is Used Logically on Reduction ad Absurdam.'

London. Nov. IT. - Gilbert K. Chesterton took a busy mans holiday Club = presided over by Anthony Hope Hawkins - on the subject of
 'The Fantastic in Idterature."
 MT. Chesterton said there was a very common suggestion that laughter had it's origin in some form
 of cruelty or hostility to others, or pleasure at their distress or pain This was generally repeated through out the modern world and was very popular because it was depressing.
 'An old friend of mine" he contin-
 ued, Mrs Samuel Barnett, had re-
 gently expressed herself with some
 disapproval about the rhyme of the
 COW Jumping over the moon; and it
 was very touching to see the way in
 which literary critics with one accord
 tallied to the defense of Hey diddle,
 diddle,' feeling a sort of common en-
 thusiasm that here at last was a
 really great masterpiece of EngIish poetry which they had not only all ways praised and admired and raised
 for the emulation and admiration of
 the world but which they had actual ly even read.
 "It would require a good deal of psychology to contradict two facts of
 which that rhyme was a simple illus tration. It was certainly a fact that
 children laughed at that nursey rhyme at a very early age and that the imagine of the COW jumping over the moon was very simple incon- gruity that amused. Another was that 1t would be very difficult, even for a modern psychologist, to maintain that. the pleasure a child took in that rhyme was entirely based on the cruel delight which a child would take in the COW coming with a great thump ] to the ground
 Few people seem to understand | the fantastic vixen 1t is used logically upon the principle of the reduction ad | absurdam. For instance. a man says | there ought to be no private property l of any kind; that there are none o1 | the things men have that they should | not share.
 You then say to him, Your pro. posal about a communal toothbrush | or a communal pair of trousers?' and | he replies that you are making a jest | of the discussion. The point to tnslst 1 on is that he is the man who made l the absurd remark. He is the mar | who made the joke, but the difference | is that I can see the joke and he | can't.
 | 'Just like when the ordinary jolly | old major, or man in the club tells l you T always like to fight the enemy | with their own weapons I say to him | How long does it take you to sting a, | wasp?' or How do cannibals taste? or | something of that sort.
 | "In these circumstances the man in | the club is liable to accuse you of | fantasy; but, as a matter of fact, it is | he who is fantastic. The main thing | which nisleads the Communist or the | man in the club on these occasione 1 and leads him to think that the com
 mon and frigtd logican on the othe, | side was fancifu1 or fippant Is thf fact that the 1ogfcian is roaring with | laughter or otherwise obviously en, | towing the situation"

EXPLAINS DISHONESTY SOMETIMES FOUND
 IN CIVIL SERVICE

Hetroit, Mich, Nov. 17-Insufficient appropriations to enable the civil :J,rNyce commission to investigate the moral character and record of per sons certified for government service is probably responsible Tor even criminality and dishonesty in the service, John H. Bartlett, president of the commission, declared in an ad- dress here before the convention of the National Civil Service Reform League, yesterday:
 with which to man the under taking MT. Bartlett told the conven- tion, the civil service commission is annually examining over 300,000 ap- tifying those who attain a scholastic rating of 70 per cent. and over, with out making any examinations or in- vestigations whatsoever of their moral character. criminal record, habits, reputation, industry, faith fitness, workfulness, veracity or loy- alty. The rating the thing which determines their relative positions on into account even a fraction of one per cent, the fact of good character, indifferent character or bad charac- ter but is wholly and purely scholas tic"
 Referring to what he described as the recent shocking disclosures of criminahty in the city of Washington where at this time a policeman is held for the theft of an automobile" MT. Bartlett declared the commits sion had determined on account of this, although there was no provision for it, to make character investiga- tions and ratings henceforth in certi- | flying applicants for the Washington | police force.
 l The 597, 900 employees of the fed | eral government are the Every pro- tcetOrS of our lives and the guardians | of our property" the speaker assert | ed, yet with the recent exception of
 pos masters. they are certified for
 acter or moral" The quality of these | federal employees, he added "abso- | lutely determines the quality of our | goVernm ent." Although the pos al | service was rapidly improving. MT. | Bartlett said, ''hundders of thousands of dollars worth of mail are stolen annually and many believe that much may be laid at the doors of the en- ployes themselves"
 Although the commission in his | opinion had built up an "extremely | creditable organization considering the limitation of finances MT. Bart, lett asserted it was 1aboring under the serious evil of having about ons hall of our employees borrowed froIl other departments. adding that it could | readily be seen how this cripples ou1 control and belittles our iden ity and iauthority.'
 Tt is our work not only to supply
 the departments with the best labor
 authority that they keep always with
 in the law. the rules and the spirit of | civil service. As an ardent adrnirer of the late Theodore RooseH I am l de 'ermined that the commission
 where he once served and left lasting
 impr:nts of his strong character, shall | continue to be the home of the | square deal.'
