Inauguration in Washington. is mentioned for the Inn
portant post Of secretary OF state.
Colonel Stimson was commended by Mr.. Coolidge
for esding the civil war In Nicaragua As Mr.. Coolidge's
personal representative. Colonel stimson was accused
Of resorting to strong-arm methods, but he succeeded
in his mission. That seems to be the main thing to
consider.
Nicaragua was so "~paeificd' by Colonel StimSoE
that an orderly election was held and while American
marines are still chasing bandits" including tho
elusive Mr.. SANDING. the greater part or Nicaragua t.
at peace.
AS governor general Of the Philippines, Colonel
stimson has made a creditabIe record. Whether bis
services in Nicaragua and the Philippines, and as as
sistant secretary Of war, together with the fact that
he is a successful lawyer, qualify him for the most
important place in Mr.. Hooyer's cabinet is a matter

The World and All
TROUBLES OF TIE TOWNS

II there il anybody in this country who has more
trouble on his hands than Earl Carroll and a traffic
cop, it is the average city manager. An American city
is a difficult creature to manager. and some o. the
most wierd problems arise 10 confront the responsible
agent OF the urban taxpayers
One Of the mOstpicturesquc problems I've heard Of
Is that which entertains the people ~ Venice, Calf,
at the moment. Somebody laid out Venice, a long time
ago, and the town has not yet fully recovered from
being laid out.
The designer dreamed Of duplicating the city Of
the same name that has been holding forth in Italy
for some years. He dug canals for streets, at great
expense.
Now Venice is an enterprising little town, and has
no use for canals. You cant paddle TO business or
paddle around on a shopping tour in this country. II
doesn't work any more than a dplicatiOn Of Pompeii
would work in this country.
The canals have only stEanant water in them. and
venetians have been trying to get them filled up and
properly paved. But there's something in the charter
or the deed or, the constitution or the Declaration Of
independence that says these canals shall be canals
forever. What's a poor Venetian to do against such a
handicap? or course, common sense and business en-
terprise will solve the problem eventually. but mean
time, what q situation!
Almost every American town has a police problem.
A great many towns have fire department. problems
80 w. y hhoW - A4SW - ~ 1865 - $50 49,
partment is 50 bound up with rcd tape that il won't

come in properly, while the fire goes merriiy on. II
you happen to get on the wrong phone and tell the fire
department. that your house is burning down, you're
out Of lex.
New York has a market hose in the Bronx that cost
millions Of dollars and was years a-building. It is
technically perfect. with docks and switches, elevated
roads and acres Of sanitary fl.or space. But it Is 80
far from human habitation that nobody would be able
to get TO it to buy. il anything we're offered there Tor
sale. So there il stands, great and gloomy and empty,
and not even a stalk Of celery has ever been bought or
sold in il.
Is Cleveland a great bond issue was voted 70 build
a public building Of some sort OF the lake front, and
all the money was used in digging a monumental hole
in the ground. which. after many years, had to be filled
up again at great expense.
No wonder city managers grow old early in life.
