TELEPHONES INCREASE
These, Together With Electric L;
bor-Saving Devices for Home, In
dictate Great Social Progress

In an article by Harper Leeeh in Il
Chicago Tribune of February g. is give
a report of the increase in the number &
telephones now in use in the Unite
States. Mr.. Leech makes the Observable
that he has yet to see anybody who real
needed telephone and didn't have it {
couldn't get it. This in reply to the con
ment of some people that there are few,
telephones than automobiles. The authc
adds that more people use telephoi
than use an automobile.
He thinks that the growth of the tel
phone service undoubtedly is responsh
for the continued prosperity of ma
thousands of small merchants, who won
otherwise find il difficult to compete Wi
chain stores. He says:
One of the best registers OF Ameri-
can social progress is the annual sta
stistical review number of the Elec-
trical World. Figures showing the
continuous Improvement of the Amer
lean home have been used many times
III tllS column.
The last year review shows this is
undated. Notwithstanding huge ex-
penditures for radio sets and for the
unprecedented number of autos sold
last year, the sale of electrical work
savers continued to gain and the pur-
chase of gas appliances was fully as
remarkable
With all these expenditures the
people have put away 3 per cent of
their national income for insurance
of various kinds
Mr.. Leech reports that within the las
five years the number of telephones ha
increased 20 per cent, while populatio
gained u per cent. There are now clos
to 100000 telephones in the country
A public utility press agent notes that til
increase in the number of telephones i
this country in the last five years is tw,
and one-half times as many as all TIL
telephones in Great Britain.
Who'll say that there are not thousand
of homes in the United States today en-
joying the privilege afforded by telephone
which would not have the telephone if j
were not for the fact that the saloon ha
been closed? There is more money in III
family exchequer in thousands of home
today because the wage-earner is nc
cashng his check at the corner saloon.

Editorial Comment
The Policy Of Shush
(Chicago Tribune)

DR.. George Parrish, city health officer of Los
Angeles says may be necessary to ask for federal
aid if his office continues to be hampered by local
interference He says the city has the "most malg-
nant epidemic of smallpox that has attacked any
city in recent years" The county council has over
ruled the health department regulation requiring a
readmittance card for the child after an un-
explained absence of three days from school. This
requirement Of the means of checking
against the disease.
Cities do not like to have smallpox They do not
like to have bubonic plague or plaques of any kind
States do not like to have hoof and mouth disease.
1t does not make earthquake any worse to call
it fire and calling it fire does not mean that
there will not be another earthquake But when
a city has the smallpox and refuses to admit it has
the smallpox the consequence is more smallpox.
There is something Of this policy of shush in
nearly every community. There are citizens every
where who will regard suppression of news as 4
cure. They will believe that much crime undis-
| cussed is better than less crime much discussed
Cities which attract tourist trade make their local
blessings religion and they do not intend tc con-
cede that anything could 60 wrong with what is
| so manifestly intended to 60 right.
That doesn't stop the smallpox and it doesn't
stop anything that is wrong in any community but
| there still many places in the United States
in which the best way to get chased out of town
| is to point to something which needs action and
! not silence to stop.

Man.eating Sharks

Do sharks eat humans, are they amiably
harmless maltese ktties?
IS. An airplane daredevil leaped from his plane into
mid-ocean off the Florida coast. He did not reap
pear. The pilot circed about the spot where he
went down, and reported "a school of fish looking
: like sharks, in the water"
Explorers, however smile cyncaly at the man.
eating shark belief They call it legend and super
stition
This little story comes from Miss Ruth Rose, who
has accompanied historian the famous explorer,
William Beebe, on all of his expeditions:
II have gone to the bottom of the ocean any num-
Der of times in only a bathing suit or hiking
breeches," says Miss Rose, with sharks swimming
my very toes like dense schools of minnows and
have thought of being afraid.
Explorers, and know many of them, deny that a
man-eating shark lived They admit that
at some time in the history of the world shark
may have bitten or two humans. But SO do dogs
and cats, and we do not talk of 'man-eating cats,
and man-eating dogs"
But just try telling that to an old sailor hopping
about his cork Leg

matte tales-be they legends, myths, truth!

The Coming Charter Election
minneapolis Journal


1t now seems fairly certain that Minneapolis will
have opportunity to accept reject the Charter
on primary election day, June 81. This will be a
special election that if foursevenths of the votes
actually cast on the charter issue are affirmative
that will insure adoption. Failure to vote will not
he equivalent to negative vote, it would be if
the new instrument were to be submitted on
regular election day.
Accordingly, if the Council orders the election at
its meeting April 30, as it must do if the pre-
lminaries 60 through planned, there will remain
little over seven weeks for the voters of Mime
apos to familiarize themselves with the new Char
ter There is need, therefore, for the intensive
paign that is planned, if the people Of Minneapolis
are to vote intelligently a plan which aims at
complete Encouragement Of the municipal govern
ment
In general, it may be said that the new Charter
is of the city manager type which has in recent
years proved popular with American cities both
small and great. 1t has superseded the commission
type of charter, which had a great run of popu-
larity few years ago but which, as St. Paul can
testify, has not proved the world-beating success
that was promised
The city manager plan naturally depends for it's
success largely the ability, energy and honesty
of the man selected to act as city manager. That
selection depends in turn the sort of chosen
at the polls to serve on the Council that elects him.
And what is done at the polls depends on the active
interest of the electorate The thing might be
said of the form of popular government-its efficacy
depends on the people themselves. faulty govern
mental machine may yield good results, because of
the care with which it is rum while theoretically
perfect machine may work badly, because neglected
| or abused.
However, good government is far easier of attain
ment when the apparatus used to obtain it is well
built The need Of Minneapolis for good reliable
new charter is beyond question. The real ques-
ton to be considered is whether the present offer
ing fills the bill.
! The new Charter has undoubtedly been improved
by the cooperative labors of the Citizens Com
mttee and the volunteer committee Of business men,
As might have been expected, the chief improve
ment effected by good business judgment is the
retention In substance of the Board of Estimate and
Taxation with supervisory power over municipal
finances. This is said to be an innovation in city
manager charters, but it is certainly precaution-
airy device whose value has already been demon
strated in Minneapolis experience.
