Cleveland, fifth city of the United
adopt the city manager system. There
will be council of - members, chosen
by proportional representation, and this
council will appoint the manager The
latter, with powers greater than those
formerly welded by mayors, will be indie
pendent of party politics and will hold
office, like the executive head of private
corporation, as long as his administration
is satisfactory to his councilmanic board
of directors. The councilmen themselves
viii bear no party label.
This development attracts attention be-
city that has adopted the city-manager
plan so far, and also the largest city
adopting proportional representation. 1t
shows the growth of both of these modern
methods of municipal government
Ten or 10 years ago, it seemed very
funny to most Americans that German
cities hired their mayors instead of
electing them. Now it is accepted as a
matter of course that methods found good
in private business will work in public
business, and that city government hasn't
any necessary connection with national
politics.
These reforms have not brought n mu-
nicipal millennium. They are still much
criticised. in their practical working if
not in theory. They exemplify the ia
miliar truth that nothing human is per-
feet, especially in the political realm. 1t
is recognized that bad form of govern
ment works we'll when there is a good
spirit back of it. and that the best form
of government falls down when the peo-
pie. who are the source of authority, do
not keep everlastingly on the job. There
seems to be more and more agreement,
however, that, other things being equal,
these new devices offer far better chance
Of good government than the old partisan
mayor and-cOuncil system.

BACK UP THE MARINES.

The decision to use United States ma
rineS to guard the mails should aid mater
tally in checking the robberies which
have been too frequent of late This
measure needs, however, to be accompan-
led by drastic investigation of all sus-
piciOus circumstances and the prompt and
severe punishment of all persons caught
or found to be involved in robbing the
mails
Recent improvements in the handling
of money shipments and the arming of es-
sential employees, and the offering of re-
wards for capture of mail robbers re-
suited in a reduction in the number OF
thefts little short of remarkable Yet in
spite of these precautions a big robbery
was effected in New York A failure to
regard the situation as sufficiently SER
iOus accounts for the increase. and bold.
ness in mail robberies just as it does fol-
the increase in other kinds of crime
When the public and the government be.
come sufficiently aroused to the dangers
of the situation to take effective action
it will be found that even the spectacular
and mysterious mail robber can be put
out of business.
The mariners will do their share. Let
