 Washington, April 29.-The little season" has become an imposingly big one and this week has been one of the busiest Washington society has ever known. The Danes of the Loyal Legion, the League of American Pen women, the National League of Wom- en Voters, the Democratic National Committee Women are some of the organizations that met here this week and all were the center around which much entertaining revolved.
 The week opened auspiciously with a large luncheon party given by no less a person than Gen. John J. Per shing for no less a person than Mar shal Joffre and his wife and her daughter. General Pershing asked a notable company of diplomats, cabi- net members, senators and represen- tatives, army and navy officers and members of resident society of both sexes to meet them. That and the big fire at the New Willard hotel were the chief settlements of Sunday. The New Willard where so many par ties are staged and so many notables like the Vice president and Mrs. Cool idge, the director of the budget and Mrs. Charles Dawes, the Presidents physician and Mrs Charles Sawyer and others like them, all live, and where Daughters of the American Revolution and Pen Women and others were staying in large numbers was damaged last Sunday and upset many of the weeks social plans as parties arranged to take place there had to be postponed or switched tc other places. And that was difficult for the city Is so full of people and so many entertainments on the books.

By JAMES A. MITcHELL

Again it is proposed to cnange the form of our city government. Some of those who favor a change, want to return to the old form of mayor and aldermen. which has been fully tried here; while others want to go to the form known as city manager. which has not been tried
 The movement for a change, or at any rate the strength of the move ment, originated no doubt In the fact that many persons have become diA- pleased with some of the work or the commissioners during recent years. such as their failure to pre- vent the raising of street car fares; and the numerous assessments made for street improvements. And these persons have come to the conclusion that the new commissioners are not doing any better. And then our pa pers are giving too much attention to small and inconsiderable differences that naturally arise among the com missioners in the management or the city's affairs. A commissioner can not give an interview in which he differs from or criticizes another commissioner without some of the local papers publishing it with glar- ing headlines, with the announce ment that it is something sensational from the city hall. And thouBntless persons jump at the conclusion that the form of government is all wrong. All this is to be regretted.
 Our form of government Is all right It is clear to my mind that the present government of the city by five commissioners, each of whom draws a salary sufficient to provide a living for him and to enable him to give all his time to the work of the eity-each commissioner having charge of one of the five departments into which the eity's affairs are di- vided, and each commissioner giving his personal attention to the work of his department is the best for our needs
 Compare With Other Days
 Compare the present government with the work of the mayor and all dermen, which we have triedi. It has never been our custom here to pay the aldermen salaries, and l do not understand that 1t is proposed to do so now, if we should return to that form of government. There would no doubt be some 20 or 30 aldermen for the city, and we could not well afford to pay them anything of con seauenee The aldermen would have most of their time taken up in their private business, and would have

little time to devote to a study oi the city's affairs. The meetings of the board would be held at night with rare exceptions, and the most important matters would be rushed through without receiving proper att tetion. The various committees of the board of aldermen would in real. ity transact much of the business of the city, at meetings held frequently often during the daytime; and the aldermen receiving no pay for their work would be greatly tempted, in some instances, to resort to methods of graft to make up for their loss of time-opportunities for which would be abundant-unless all should be actuated by the highest motives. do not say that all aldermen might be so tempted, but 1t is evident the temptation would be great. Many of us doubtless remember the shady rumors that at times involved some aldermen during the former alder manic government in this city. In short, the affairs of the city would suffer greatly under such conditions. No such rumors as I have alluded to have been heard since the estab- lishment of the commission form of government here.
 Tried in Few Cities
 The city manager plan has been tried In so few cities that one can hardly say whether it has been suc- cessful or not Even if it has been successful in some city or cities. it would hardly be fair to conclude that it would be best for this city Aside from the fact that it is unwise to be frequently changing the form of our city government, 1t is clear to my mind that the affairs of this city are too important to be handled by one man, however able he may be. who is given charge of both the legis- lative and executive branches of the city government. To give to one man the entire burden of governing this city and legislating for this city. is to give him more than he can suc- cessfully handle, even if the affairs of the city are to be divided into de- partments as at present, and each de- partment placed in charge of an ap- pointee of his. It smacks too much of absolute monarchy. I do not be- lieve that that plan would meet with the approval of the people of this city at all. and there Is no good req son for trying 1t here.&I suggest that we le twell enough alone, and do all we can to make the present form of the city government a success.

flee to who appears to be the best bidder, who may be nonresident, and places in the hands of one man volume of patronage which may tempt him to wrong doing as the hired agent of the peoples rights, privileges and property, etc, is a system undemocratic and repugnant to the minds and hearts of all peo-. pie who rejoice in the right of wield- ing the ballot for home government.
 Acts Too Hastily
 The great objection to our present commission form of government is that it acts too hastily, is top-heavy, burdensomely expensive and not fully representative of all the peo- pie and all parts of the city. The law creating this form of govern ment makes 1t possible to elect all five commissioners from one part or one ward of the city and So fixes the functions of the several heads of the different departments as to re- lieve the other four of direct respon- sibility for the acts of the one on many matters of vital importance.
 Much has been said and written of political manipulation under the all dermanic system or election and per- formance. Those of us who watched the maneuvers and manipulations in the last two city campaigns must smile at the promises made by the originators of the commission form of government. that It's creation or inauguration would eliminate poIi- tics. While the party words demo crat" and republican" were elim- mated, never in the history of the city has such bitterness of express sion and harsh vindictiyeness been promulgated was in evidence during these campaigns. No, not even in the old reconstruction days. Opposing candidates were charged as felonious violators of law, as well as unfitness for the office to which they aspired, and for many days there was no peace. Politics will always be in evidence so long as there are contests for the honors ond emolu- ments of office, no matter under what form of government we live. And why not? Webster defines politics as the science of government" and why should the word be used In derision.?
 PopuIarly Chosen
 The word' government seems i'll adapted to embrace at once the me- chanism and the varied task of mod ern municipal corporations and 1t sometimes grates harshly on minds and hearts of many urban dwellers who boast of city pride. A system of administration popularly chosen, a practicable system of organization is what the people most desire-a sys- tenn the personnel of which accounts itself servant and not master of the people. This is what the mayor and double board system will afford, if for no other reason than the fact tho law of referendum and recall stands as warning against a departure from the rule of official righteous ness.
 Next to domestic home government in the minds and hearts of an ambi- tious urban people are their city af- fairs, and every thoughrul citizen of Birmingham will study well the con ditions which today confront his municipality and join In a movement for that plan of administration which promises full representation, relief and progress. This he will find in the enactment of law that will give to the city that form which a mayor, a board of councilmen and a board of aldermen, will afford.
