Whence the "k.e.Wee."

During the late war officers in the
army mir service were classified as
flying officers or ground officers, the
latter being used for administrative
work and for all other duties not ac.
tually requiring flight. Much ieal-
onsy existed at some fields between
the flyers and the non-fyers.
II was naturalist among the flyers
who aptly expressed for his fellows a
title fitting their mortal enemies. He
dubbed the ground officers as "Kee-
Wees The name spread yet few
know the reason for the title. II was
while looking up the word aptitude"

The righteous shall be glad in the
Lord, and shall trust in Him. -
Psalm 64:1O.
You will find it less easy to up
root faults than to choke them
by gaining virtues. Do not
think of our own faults; still less
of others faults; in every person
who comes near and strong; honor
that; rejoice init, and as you can,
try to initiate it; and your faults
will drop off like dead leaves when
their time comes.-John Ruskin.

4%skasgu all subordinate city Officials
at will. Under the proposed Ameri-
Gus charter he may discharge, with
certain few exceptions, but he can
employ only by confirmation OF
the commission. This gives an abb
solute check upon him by the COM
mission, for he may nominate whom
he will but the commission must APP
prove, while, on the other hand, his
hand is kept free because the CONF
mission cannot elect an employe on
it's own motion. This gives the city
manager complete authority, yet
safeguarded with a perfect check on
the part of the commission. Should
ever the manager fail to discharge
an employee whom the commission
deemed it essential to discharge, the
commission always would have the
resort of being able to handle the
situation by discharging the manager
on the spot,without charges, if it saw
fit.
Inasmuch as most of the criticism
of the proposed plan has been leveled
at the city manager, who has been
referred to as the car and the sys-
tenn as turn to Prussianism, it will
be worth while for honest-minded
men and women to ponder over the
foregoing and ask themselves wheth-
er, after all, such statements are fair,
or whether they are not based rather
upon malice or ignorance. And
they might also ask themselves
whether the proposed change does
not constitute an improvement over
the present form of government. AS
at present constituted, the city has
no business manager, no official who
makes it his sole and first duty to
make the city's business the greatest
possible success, as is the case with
every corporation one-tenth the size
of that of the city of Americas. And
at present, when an inefficient Of
fetal gets into office, how do we get
him out? In the first place, we don't
know he is inefficient until it is too
late; in the second place we can't get
him out even then until the next
election rolls around, and then we
are by no means certain of it, if he
is a good handshaker.
, There are other good features of
the bill, but these few seem to us
to be of the most Importance. II
should be borne in mind that the city
manager has no authority whatever
over the board of education, which
remains constituted as at present
And it should also be remembered
that a referendum election is pro
vided in the bill so that it may be
submitted to the people of the city
for ratification before becoming eff.
fective.
The subject is Of sufficient i'm
portance to deserve a large attend
ance tonight. If you are honestly
seeking for improvement in the city's
affairs and want to be really enlight-
cned, attend that meeting. If you are
against any change and contented
with things as they are, and do moi
want to hear and understand what
is proposed for the bettermcnt of
conditions, you are advised not t.
attend the meeting tonight.
