Mr. raback and those who hop when he crooks his finger are reported to be ; solid for Governor Lewden of Illinois. | At least this would be the conclusion ta arrive at by reading between the lines. Some of Mr. Ror#@back’s "best friends have come out strongly for the Illinoisan and it is not difficult tn imagine what they were saving to | themselves when “Old King”_ Cole ! from Ohio launched forth in praise of ihe favorite son from that state. The incident goes to prove that even the most capable politicians drop a string occasionally and are unable to pick it up befare the damage is don 1t would be safe to wager that in the future the hierarchy of republicaniem in this state will ' require scheduled <peakers to send advance manuseripts for examination before anyv oratory is turned loose. Still. Congressman Cole must have had a quiet smil€ all by himself if hec rvealized what a bembshell he was exploding or if the siguificance of his remarks was ex- plained to him afterward. P Previous to the war it was quite the thing to refer to the efficiency of the and the German gzov were told of thefr business-like methods of | cenducting public affairs, ete. In faet, Germany was held up to us as the creator of efficiency in all things. The var had something ta do with chang- our opinions and it was realized rs of inspired applause that German Lind of eficiency was a cloak for something else. It seems strange, therefore. the biood of thousands of American slzin is cold. to read of an American citizen of preminence enshrining Ger- many on the old Olympus of cfficienc: At the republican gathering referred to in the foregoing reference to Con- ~ressman Cole’s ‘faux pas. Colonel lsaac M. Ullman. the G. O. P. leader in New Haven. was paying his respects to the New Haven newspapers and 1a Mavor FitzGerald. a democrat. During his argument in favor of sub- stituting a commission form of gov ernment in New Haven. Colonel Ull- man said: “Jn Germany they know more about city Rovernment than ever knew.” -Well. perhaps they do. Perhaps their streets are hetter po- liced. their lawsx more admirably ad- ministered and their officials more ca pable. But why bring up the old subject? Why continue to worship the Hun? Granted that they know more ahoul city government than we do. their field of knowledze hax panded in a great many directions since April 6, 19 Yes. t v know a lot. and they had the hest teachers in the world—2,000.000 of them. and instead of the mortar hoard hat and lang. flowing gown. ther wore little dinky things on their heads and tight fitting khaki. They were the Ameri- can doughhoys. Come. Colonel vou and vou will in ten minutes in than you can find in the course of an entire day in Germany. The only reasen our cities are so poorly gov- erned is because the politicians, not the people. rule.

But aside from that. let us quit worshipping Germany. At the last meeting of the common council one of the city fathers recom- mended that the charter be amendea 10 require the appointment of a male clerk of the board of assessor it perfectly apparent to those whose du- ties bring them in touch with the population of city hall that the coun- cilman who made the suggestion. Mr. King, is not very familiar with work being performed by the pre: clerk of the board. who happens to be a young woman, without a ‘vote, al ——but wait. It is the writer's privileze to know 1he young woman whom Councilman King would depose because of her sex And it can be said withour féar of ust contradiction that there is no per- on in city hall, male or female, who discharges the duties in conneclion with public office more thoroughly or more satisfactarily than this same zirl clerk. For a number of years. so long in fact that she is a veteran in pubhn service. the yYoung woman has filied her post with dignity and ability. She is thoroughly familiar with the wor to be done and she does it with a wiil and completeness that has always won the zpplausc of her superiors. It would he a serious mistake to permit her to leave the employ of the city. Mr. King remarked that it would be more fitting to have a male clerk hecause he. the clerk, could be pr paring himself for promotion to the board of assessors. A pretty theory, but only a theor) Men are nat al- wavs appointed to office because of their qualifications. They usually find themselves in-a municipal berth be- cause th have rendered or will ren- der service or services to the man who has the power to appoint them. Fre- auently we read of those in authority selecting men for important positions when we know that others could Dbe found who could discharge the sponsibilities of office with greates bepefit to the publie. Let us imagine that has been appointed te the hoard assessor Five vears pass. There a vacancy on the board. Will the per son wha has the power to fill the va- cancy choose the clerk simply because he has had five vears' experience in that line, because he is qualified to o¢- cupy the vacant chair® Perhaps but probably no. The appointing power will scan the horizon to find a man who has been or can be of serv- ice to him. one whom he can controt as a member of his political cabinet. At least this has been customary and unless \Mr. King knows of . some method by which human nature can be changed he might do the ety a fa- vor by letting . well enough alone and allowing a faithful and vigilant publ servant to continue in office. thouzh she is of the weaker sex is re- clerk of a male Before final passage of the budget for the next fical vear the should have a clear understanding re- garding the collection of - garbage.
