Town Management.

o. e. Carr, city manager of Du-
buque, takes several columns of space
in one of the local papers to talk to
the people there. 1t makes interesting
reading. One can guess that the edi-
tor is glad to give Mr.. Carr all the
space he can use.
Stating positively that the city man
ager way is the only solution for mu-
nicipal problems, Mr.. Carr does not
incline to the idea in towns of less
than 10000 The little towns work
manager to death, expect him to be
on the job night and day, pay too
small salary to get good man and
everybody wants to be boss. However,
he thinks, the small town is good
training ground for the man who
wants to perfect himself in city man
aging.
Mr.. Carr has found three types of
councilmen One kind gives himself
to the community to do all he can do.
He is remembered always with kind
ness. The second type means well but
tries to please everybody and is afraid
to say his soul is Lis own. Unfortun-
ately, this type of 'Me-too; Yes-Men"
councilmen is too prevalent. third
type which tries to turn everything
to personal advantage, is dangerous
in the extreme.
Mr.. Carr believes the plan should
be worked out under the hands of its
friends. With its enemies in control
every chance is taken to show the
people what big mistake they made
in voting in ''new-fangled ideas"
The elements which make for sue
cess are a capable manager; a har-
monious council; a friendly press;
public where the spirit of good fell
lowship prevails. These things inter
lock.

City Affairs Should
Be Strictly Business.

We hire a school superintendent at
a salary of $4,000 a year to manage
the school business under direction of
a non-salaried board. But the city bus
mess, vastly bigger if not more i'm
portant than the schools, is left to
the out-of-date mayor and alderman
system. In other words the schools
can afford a high-salaried and capable
man to give all of his time to manag-
ing the schools. The municipal gov
eminent has to depend on the amount
of time and attention citizens can give
for nothing to handle the biggest bus
mess in the community.
The Herald is not arguing for a
city-manager system. 1t might involve
too much overhead for a town of Lam
casters size But it seems necessary
to either hire such a man or find one
who will give the time he couldn't at
ford to sell to the people. In other
words, the desire for service and
achievement would provide the mo-
tive and a clean-cut, well improved
and economically managed city the re-
ward.
1t seems to us that all money de-
rived from personal property taxation
on motor cars and other vehicles in
the city should go back on the
streets. With 800 motor vehicles and
an average personal property tax of
SIS, a town of this size would have
$4,000 year to be used on the
streets. Not a cent of tax money from
other sources should go to build and
keep up streets. Let the traffic pay it.
The water department should stand
on its own feet and provide sinking
fund for repairs and requirements. Not
a dollar of tax money should be used
to help the water department out. Ev-
cry drop of water used in the city
should run through a meter. Every
gallon of water used should be sold
by the city, not from a profit stand
point but at enough revenue to keep
the water system on a sound basis.
The community center should be
made to pay it's way as far as pos
sible. 1t is the biggest and best civic
enterprise of it's kind in the state.
Not even cities of $4,000 have such
building. BY keeping a close check on
what it costs to operate each depart
ment of the city building, fuel, light.
janitor service, supplies, ETC., we would
know just what it costs to run the
building and what should be charged
for its use. The Herald does not IA
vor free use OF the building for any
purpose except strictly city purposes,
mass meetings, etc. It would not be
possible to charge I'D and provide
source of payment for the cost of OPP
Grating the city hall proper, but it at
least should be on budget basis and
operated like any other building-at
the smallest possible cost.
These are a few suggestions. We
are not trying TO RUN things. AS a
taxpayer and resident of the city the
writer takes a keen interest in it's
problems and development. We think
our city business should be conducted
from the same standpoint as a sue
cessful and sound private business.
In our office lexicon as applied to
city affairs there is no such word as
"fail"

Fun.

l. uIls
One of the best things to be gained
in attending a good comedy is in
watching the effect of fun-making by
the actors on the audience. A good
hearty laugh does us all a world of
good and if we can't laugh at every
thing ourselves it does us a lot of
good to hear the rich peal from some
other happy heart.
Because we are old, world-worn,
blase and cynical we cannot get the
enjoyment that some others do Their
hearts are more innocent and their
natures less guileful. And that is our
misfortune and fault rather than
something to our credit. To have a
keen power of enjoyment is one of
the greatest blessings of life. 1t
smoothes many a heart-ache and
breaks the dull monotony of many a
weary day.
1t seems to us that those who have
the gift of fun and can make other
people enjoy themselves, confer far
more benefit upon the world than all
the dull writer's or speakers piled
mountain-high We remember them
and their Glowing long after other
ponderous things said or written have
been forgotten.
Blessed be those who can laugh
heartily. And twice blessed be those
who make the people laugh.

Best Wishes
to Mr.. Brennan.

The fact that the three candidates
for county judge all resided in Lam
caster, and all good fellows, made it
impossible for the Herald to have
other than a policy of strict neutrali-
ty in the campaign and election of
last week Many other local citizens
felt bound the same way.
If it was within our power to do so,
we would have given all of them an
office This being impossible there was
nothing to do but keep still and let
the people settle it. And doubtless this
is best anyhow.
The Herald extends Mr.. Brennan
best wishes for his incumbency as
county judge and feels certain that
the office will be administered with
justice and courtesy to all.

Humorous Herman.

A st. Louis paper says editorially
that Herman Sachtjen, Prohibition
Enforcement Officer, has given UP
hope of prohibitions success. We
folks in Wisconsin have to laugh. for
as one of our friends says Sachtjen
has about as much use for prohibition
in principle as 1.-THE Devil has for
Holy Water" The ST. Louis paper
doesn't know that Sachtjen was and
is a sympathizer with the vets, is wet
himself and would rather see prohi-
bition fail than succeed. It's so funny
to us folks in Wisconsin that we can't
laugh.-Brodhead Ind.-Register

A Job for the
PSychO-

1t seems to the writer that when
human beings do strange and uncon-
ventional things, break the social laws
and shock the community in which
they live, there is an underlying reas-
on or group of reasons other than
pure cussedness. We are all strange
bundle of hopes, aspirations, desires,
nobility and beastliness. 1t is the "Old
Adam in us And with all this queer
conglomeration of motive pulling us
one way or another there is strong
strain of Goodness in us which if di-
rected and allowed proper expression
makes what we call a 'fine man" or
"a fine woman"
The why and wherefore of the tip
ping of the lid and the breaking of
the traces is a task for the psyche
analyst, the mind discoverer, rather
than the shallow and vindictive Cos
sip. The older one gets the more he
concludes that his own life is the one
he is principally responsible for and
his own conduct his greatest single
concern. He feels that above all he
has no right to sit in judgment on
another person or to criticise too Sc
verely their acts.

DO Brains Diminish!

10 DEdIHS DIAAbliISH.
Sir Arthur Keith, British biologist,
claims the brain of man is shrinking
in size and power. He attributes the
cause to the easy surroundings under
which the modern lives as compared
to humans of other times.
In olden times man made the things
he needed or went without. He fash
toned shelter, tools, textiles, weapons,
etc. IF he wanted entertainment he
had to perfect himself as an actor, an
orator or a musician. AS q result and
with every achievement the convolu-
tions of his brain formation deepened
and his jaw grew sharper and deeper
with resolution.
Today we fashion nothing. If we
want light we push a button. If we
want music we put on record, turn
dials on radio or kick the pedals of
a player piano. If we want transpor
tation we ride in train. motor car
or airship. If we want shelter we rent
or buy it. If we want textiles or tools,
we buy them. What in reality, except
for a few exceptions such as the far
mer and he buys many things, does
the modern man know about making
things?
Specialists of great ability in their
line make the thousand and one de-
vices used by civilized people every
where. In this department store. Main
street civilization under which we
live and struggle, native ingenuity is
clearly losing out Strong, interesting
types are thing of the past Even
the Fiji islanders wear stovenipe hats
and build their houses of Standard
Oil tin cans instead of native mating
Opinions differ but the Herald
agrees with Sir Arthur We are drift
ing to be bunch of spineless numb
skulls.
