Henry K. Scalar, mayor, Oklahoma City. W. S. Harris, mayor, Port Worth, Tex. City offlcluls from all quarters of the American continent assembled at the Boyd thctiter Wednesday morning as delegates to the twelfth snnual convention of the League of American Municipalities, many of whom brought their wives and daughters with them. The convention will last until Fridny night. Governor Sheldon was to have made the address of welcome, but was unable to at tend. Mayor Dahlman acted as substitute. Certainly the governor could not have ex tended a more cordial welcome than did the mayor, but nevertheless there was re gret on the part of "home folks" that the mayor was forced Into this poslttcn at that particular time. But with a hospitality that challenged excess the mayor threw back the galea of the city ' until they creaked on their hinges and bade his friends seize everything In town if they wanted It. resssurlng them In fulsome terms that they need brook no longing for a good time as he had "penned up" the 'chief of police and "fired" all' the patrolmen. ' The mayor was on the pro gram for an address of welcome In be half of the city and he evidently had pre pared to make his welcome doubly cordial, as It had to answer for state and city both. Me certainly succeeded In that, anyway. Rev. George A. Beecher, dean of Trinity Episcopal cathedral, offered the Invocation. Nearly 200 delegates were assembled In j the theater when President J. Bsrry Mahool, mayor of Baltimore, called the convention to order. He introduced Dean Beecher and then Mayor Dahlman, follow ing with an abio address. Mahool gonads Keynote . President Mahool sounded the note of civic righteousness and optimism In his sn nual address to the convention." Local gov ernment he conceived to be the chief prob lem before the American people and Its coirect solution the means by which to per petuate - Americanism and American Insti tutions, He urged the necessity of the peo ii "studying the taodes' and- lrt!iliods of their municipal government and the utmost candor In the relations between them and their city officials as a means of securing the best results. "My own experience has convinced me," lie said, "that the first step toward ex alting our municipal conditions to a better level Is to take the public Into the gov ernment's confidence." The la-ague of American Municipalities, he said, was the clearing house In which there is a general exchange of municipal Ideas. "TliHie are two ways hy which to obtain good government," said Mr. Mahool, "one is by arousing the public conscience to a point that it will tolerate nothing but good government and the other Is to make gov ernment so good that sn otherwise Indiffer ent public will see its advantages and wiU clamor for Its continuance." Optimist tba Mau of Today, "The man of today is the optimist," said the mayor. "The man who believes In civic righteousness and who fights for progress is the man of the hour. I believe in ap plying uptimlam. to our city aftairs. Simply because the problem Is Immense that is no reason to desert it In fear. I have faith In Americanism. 1 have faith in our people. I do nol believe thete la an problem bo yond their solution. j "We must not forget that the multlplica- lion of clliea and the rapid concentration of populations increases the gravity of the municipal problem. Hence the wisdom of studying the situation with the most dill. gent care. "The moving cause that produces excel lent municipal government in easy to dis cover. The difficult problem is how to bring It into play. "Everybody knows that the application of conscientiousness, coupled with proper effi ciency, is all that is needed, ret every body knows that such a combination Is not so easy to secure. "Those who have the experience with city government understand the secret of Its weaknesses. It Is the one unit In the ma chinery of government most persistently at tacked by selfishness and greed. Bcllavaa la Publicity. "My own experience has convinced mo lhat the first etep toward exalting our municipal conditions to a better level Is to take the public into the government's con fidence. There is only one way to do that. The utmost publicity should be demanded; and unreserved publicity should be con ceded In all proceedings. There should be no juggling. The people should be ap prised of everything that Is doing; why It Is being done, snd why other things which sre popularly desired are delayed or post poned. I do not mean the publication of heavy reports. Not one person In fifty reads those. I mean a continuous unfold ing of everything appertaining to the opera tions of the municipality. The people are entitled to it. It Is their government. They should be Instantly informed of every movement made. "Just as soon as you succeed In focusing the eye of the public on the operations of the ctty government, you will thereby take one immense and important step towards correcting many of the alleged abuses. "There is nothing half so ruinous to de cent municipal government as Indifference. Evil practlcea run riot whenever the pub lic slumbers. The betrayers of good gov ernment sre happiest when the people sleep. "When the public Is kept constantly and promptly Informed It becomes Impossible to foul the voters when a subsequent cam paign Is pending. Many an election goes wrot.g becsuse the public has not been provided with proper advance Information. Asaasesl at Paklle Istaaraae.

Already tho savings bmtt se tin, the clearing house section and the trust com pany section had gone on record against guaranteeing bunk deposits and had either voted against or shown by their attitudo that they were unalterably opposed to the establishment of postal savings banks. The keynoto was struck today In th.s speech cf Colonel J. D. Powers, president of the association who declared the bank deposit guaranty was a dangerous faliacy. A vote on these two propositions probably will not be taken before tomorrow, but the feeling Is so Intense among the bankers that there will be scarcely a speech mude during the convention, with tho exception of the set addresses, that will not be likely to refer to them. The progrum for today is a long one and Includes besides the president's address ad dresses of welcome by Governor Henry A. Buehtel of Colorado and Mayor Robert V. Speer of Denver, the annual report of the secretary, tho repot ts of various standing lommiUeea and addresses by B. E. Walker, president of the Canadian Bank of Com merce, Toronto, Ontario, on "On Features of Banking" and by Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton 'university, on "The Banker and the Nation." The remainder of the day was devoted to a discussion of practical banking ques tions. Several not announced In advance are expected to be discussed under this head. Governor Henry A. Buektel of Colorado, in his address of welcome said. In part: "It Is for you gentlemen of the American Bankers' association to find a substitute for the inefficient and aeml-polltical exam ination of banks which Is now maintained. It Is only by tho expert and searching scrutiny of bankers, themselves, with their staffs of men of experience und Inside knowledge, that you can secure an ade quate Inspection of the condition of any bank. Is it possible for sn inspector to ; know the value of paper which is signed by names which mean nothing to him? You must find the method of making banks strong snd safe so that guarantees of de posits would bo as unnecessary as guaran tees of government bonds. "It Is very evident thot we can learn something from other nations when you re call what happened last fall. It required two months to bring IKK),oijO,o.jo n gold l this country frcm Europe, while the Imperial Bank of Germany IncreuseJ ita note circu lation by the same amount In one week.

If Alexander the Great had seen wha Ak-Sar-Ben XIV saw us he passed uf Farnain street last night, he would ncvei have longed for more kingdoms to conquer. If the king of Macedonia in the deepest depths of his Inordinate lust for power and wealth could have viewed what this king viewed he would have turned his back upon the eastern world conquered by his might, shut his eyes to the Pnnhellenlc em pire, his mere plaything and the chief heri tage of his son; he would have spumed the country beyond the Danube and dismissed the thought of Asia Minor from his mind. But Alexander the Great could never have viewed what Ak-Sar-Ben XIV viewed. Ho conquered the eastern world, yes. Thrace, Thrcssaly Illyrlum were Ills foot tools and Mount Pangaeus his Dlllo-: Mount Pangaeus with its Infinite wealth tif gold. He humbled monarchs trnd destroyed monarchies, he changed tin lines of na tional destinies he outstripped the world, his ..world. In. military aonqucst. Before hrrn nations fell, ' warriors (.ringed. , His name thrilled cities and appalled states. But his, was a mailed fist. History tolli us that Alexander the Great, when lie hnil slain all the thousands he could reach, and overturned every yower at his commnd. still craved fnr more kingdoms to conquer. But Macedonia's monarch conquered, h did not rule. Or if he did he ruled not wisely. The mailed fist was turned against tho nations and tho nations against the mailed fiHt, and In time the towering mon uments erected hy tho overpowering might and skill of this warrior's military prow ess fell, crumbled beneath the feet of cringing sl.ives. And where today is tho Alexandrian form of government? Ak-Siir-Ien XIV is a king of peaco. He conquers, yes. and rules, yes. But he con quers by sheer forco of commercial and Industrial excelleneei and rules by moral power. His realm is greater, richer, bet ter than the combined powers crushed ami dominated by the ancient king nnd his dynasty will live and his state endure to a length of time not reached by the reign or influence of Alexander. A lid so when these twenty black steeds bore the king of Quivers through tha human-walled streets of his capital city last night, Ak-Sar-Ben looked out upon a scenn thst never before met the proud eyes of royally. He looked first Into the faces of thousands upon thousands of Intelligent freemen. There ln saw In the concrete a vast fjca of humanity roaring, bounding billows of human beings. But underneatlv tho turbulent waves of applause Ak-Sar-l)i'ii saw in each luillvdual a sturdy, stal wart son of liberty, a scion of the houso of American freedom, a warrior only as war gives virtue and honor to a free stato and an 'independent republic. And back of this Impenetrable ma King Ak-8ar-Hen looked and beheld the Imper lFhable trophies whhii the pursuit of peaya and industry vouchsafe. He saw the mon uments which commerce. In a reign of un paraltilcd prosperity, had reared in tha beautiful undulating streets of Omaha; be felt the Impulse of a restless energy that had built this Nebraska metropolis and gaxed with simple pride upon a thousand evidences of commercial supremacy In Ida military conquests. And out over and be yond the limits of the Imperial city be fixed) his gaze upon the rolling plains of Ne braska. He saw other towns snd other cities, rich and prosperous and happy and! great and at last be saw what made anil what is maintaining these urban land marks of civic greatness. He saw wealth and power sufficient to overt in n empires beyond the conception of inordinate ambition. He saw the farms irms and fields of Nebraska. He saw men women and children surrounded by ' ern conveniences and comforts and In the enjoyment of materiel which their fatht rs cuu' He saw toll tilled cultivation and acre.
