LETTERS TO EDITOR
CITY. MANAGER PLAN
ditor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The citizens committee of 100, of which E.
H. Cabaniss is chairman, at its meeting last
Wednesday, Endorsed the council-manager plan
of city government. An executive committee
was appointed to bring about the adoption Of
this form of government by vote of the peo-
pie of Birmingham.
The council-manager form of government en-
bodies the idea of representation in the legIs-
lative branch in that it provides for a council,
as the aldermen were chosen in former times.
This council passes ordinances, adopts budget
and in all other respects formulates the policies
of the city. The laws and policies adopted by
the council are carried out by city manager,
who is employed, and subject to dismissal, by
the council. This city manager is directly re-
sponsible for the proper administration of the
executive branch of the government. Both in
theory and in practice the system results in a
maximum of democracy in legislation with a
maximum Of efficiency in administration.
To the voters of Birmingham, who will soon
have to pass on the merits of this plan, the fol-
papers, will be of interest:
'"The city of Columbus is again without
city manager, Henry B. Crawford having
handed in his resignation Saturday afternoon,
to take effect just as soon as successor can
be named. 1t was announced by Mayor j. H.
Dimon that the commission would act on the
resignation at the next regular meeting
Wednesday of the coming week. Just who
is to be his successor is not known, but
number of names are being suggested The
office pays $4,000 year.
"Mr. Crawford, who succeeded the first
Columbus city manager, H. Gordon Hinkle, fol-
lowing an attack on the latter by ugly mob
here last May, is leaving under quite different
circumstances. He has been offered big post
with construction company of Boston, which
concern is building a S7,000,o0o dam for the
water supply of New York. at Gilboa, few
miles north of the big city.
ellis work here is regarded as remarkable
success, the city having for the first time in
its long history placed the sum of 100000

POINTED PARAGRAPH
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
It's very unlucky to lose $13 on Friday.
Time flies, but the orchestra leader can
beat it.
A lot of safes are not what they are cracked
up to be.
1t is reasonably safe to judge man by the
friends he hasn't.
Fame seldom comes to the man who sits
down and waits for it.
When a new girl comes to small town all
the boys sit up and take notice.
You can't please everybody; it makes half
the people sore if you please the other half.
If there were no timorous mortals to prey
upon the pessimist would starve to death.

JOBS DESTRUCTIVE UTTER

r. A. Clymer, in the Eldorado Times.
In the days when horse flesh was in flower,
one of the hardest things in town was to get
horses accustomed to Job Hofer's laugh Every
time he took off the main hatch and helped
himself to a real mastodonic gurgle of glee,
there were two or three runaways down Main
street. The horses largely have passed, but
Jobs laugh has the same devastating effect.
Today he became amused at something while in
Lem Jumps Ford, and two panes of window
glass fell out.

in local savings banks due to savings effected
by economic management"
This item, besides indicating the caliber Of
man who can be chosen to fill the post Of city
manager, demonstrates the remarkable results
that have been obtained from the plan in
very short length of time. 1t adds our neigh
Dor, Columbus, Ca, to the list of more than
300 municipalities in which the plan has OPP
Grated successfully. 1t is a significant fact
that no city which has adopted this plan by
amendment to its charter has ever changed to
either the city commission or the mayor and
alderman form of government In all these
cities the committee of the Junior Chamber
of Commerce found practically universal salts
faction with the council-manager plan. This
is in striking contrast with conditions in Biz
mingham as they exist today, when fully 80
per cent of the people are opposed to the COM
mission FORM and as they existed in 1911,
when the people rose masse to condemn and
overthrow the mayor and aldermen regime.
Yours very truly, IRVING M. ENGEl+

Across the wide and rolling sea
The tourist throngs will go,
But those on U. s. ships will be
COMPOUNDED dry, know.
Without a cheering drop to drink
No highballs, rickeys, fizz,

The moon in glory shine,
But there will be no whistles wet
Upon the salty brine.

is what a majority Of Englishmen think about
the little Welshman. His worst enemies can
not deny that he captures the imagination of
England and the world at large. The phrase,
"for the time being is significant. It is al
most foregone conclusion that Lloyd George
will not stay "in the wilderness" long.
And here is what the Times says of Andrew
Bonar Law: He is not great man, nor
clever man, but Great Britain just now is look

and on whose not too exciting abilities it hopes

In other words, Great Britain has sup
planted brilliant, though erratic genius, for
a man whose nickname, ANDY" best describes
him. He is as plain as an old shoe and British
statesmen have that rather comfortable feel
ing that he does not stand head and shoulders
above them in ability.

SACO RESIDENTS HAVE
CLOSE CALL IN ACCIDENT

What might have proved bad ac-
cldent was narrowly averted Thurs
day evening on the north road near
the Frank Taylor farm when Ford
car driven by M. o. Malmin with Mrs.
Malmin and Mrs. B. Kappel and
daughter Ruth as passengers, collid-
ed with one driven by Christ Eklund.
Mr.. Malmin had made trip to the
Kappel farm to bring Mrs. Kappel to
Saco to take the night train for Mi
not, N. D., in answer to message
announcing the death of her sister at
that place. Mr.. Eklund was on his
way home after making a trip to
Saco to summon the doctor for Mrs.
Joe Hoyer who was reported very
sick. Both cars had good lights and
occupants of the Malmin car say that
they could see the oncoming car for
long distance and turned out of
the road, but in some manner Mr..
Eklund, who was driving at very
high speed claims that he did not see
the Malmin car and hit it glancing
blow, tearing off the hubcap of both
wheels and the tenders as well as
damaging the rear wheel and casing.
Mrs. Malmin had narrow escape
from going overheard, being caught
hanging over the windshield. Those
in the back seat got away with bad
shaking up. AS to the damage done
to the Eklund car it has not been de-
termined at this writing as it is still
where it was left at the time of the
mixup. All the participants of the
accident seem glad to be still counted
with the living.-Saco Independent.

LEAGUE COLLEGE CLUB
MEMBERS TAKE OATH

The boys and girls of the League
College club met in the parlors of
the M. E. church Friday, Oct. 20,
for their usual weekly meeting. Af-
ter the regular devotional and educa-
tional periods members took the new
pledge.
The method of taking the pledge
was by placing their hand on the four
spear points that form the Maltese
Cross, the emblem Of the Knights of
st. John, or the Knights Of Malta
as afterwards known. Four repeated
the oath at the same time, covering
all the spear points of the cross.
The oath is as follows:
eve solemnly and sincerely pledge
that we will never bring disgrace to
our city, state or nation, by any act
of dishonesty, discourtesy or coward
ice.
"We pledge ourselves to entertain
the highest ideals and the noblest
thoughts, putting honesty, virtue and
truth in the front rank of our life.
I'VE pledge loyalty to the standards
taught in the Holy Bible, the church,
the Sunday school, the League and do
all in our power to promote the same.
"We pledge loyalty to the standards
of clean living, abstinence from every
indulgence that would in any way
lessen our chances in life, by weaken
ing our bodies, and entertaining ev-
erything that would strengthen"
After taking The oath the initiation
of members was put on, assisted by
Mrs. Pippy and Mrs. Kampfer. This
was the occasion of lots of fun.
At nine o'clock the club was ban
quoted by the committee in charge
Everyone had an excellent time.
The club takes members from the
ages of IL to ID and is open to any
boy or girl who wishes to take the
oath and join. Members of any
church may join.
