No one pretends to say that the antiquated char- ter now in use fits the necds of this growing and mfrdem community. It would seem that the com- mission would have no difficulty in presenting a charter that, even though imperfect, that would supersede the present charter. Light of past experience, however, shows ‘us that this is not true. Efforts to change the charter have failed and the present effort may likewise fail un- less the public is awakened to the need of a'change and can be induced to take an intelligent interest in the proceedings. St Down at Kenosha, Wis., the city had floundered along year after year for decades under a form of city government that had been found extravagant and ineffective. i Then one day something happened. Kenosha brought her government up to date. ‘Who do you suppose is entitled to credit for-the. change? "Mother. That's who. The women of that city stadied up-on _their the mien had been unable for years and yoars to remedy the matter, they might as well roll up! their sleeves and have a good old-fashioned houseciean- ing. N They got their arguments together and went from house to house giving a clear, lucid statement of the need of a change, explained the change they and rested their case in the hands of the voters. In their campaign, the women used something like 200 automobiles and practically. every house in the city was visited. Y The result was that on election day theve were more votes cast by women than there were by men—and Kenosha had voted out her inefficient form of government for a city. manager plan which gives promise of great success. This shows what the women can do. = It may not be necessary for such strenuous effort in Bemidji, but it-is iniportant that the women get on the job, i¢ they are not already.
