WHY A CITY MANAGER.
The Bee is in receipt of a letter from an up
state banker, inquiring why it has included in its
list of things desirable a city manager for
Omaha. All the reasons therefor can not be
stated in a single short article, but the main ad
vantage to be derived from the suggested ar
rangement ii increased efficiency in govern
mental administration.
One of the forgotten maxims of municipal
politics is that public business should be as care
fully conducted as private. Grover Cleveland
laid down something like this for the manage
ment of the affairs of the general government,
when he said, "A public office is a public trust."
In the administration of the federal government
is afforded the best possible illustration of what
might reasonably be expected from similar cenr
traliiation of power and authority in a city. The
president is the executive officer, the "city man
ager." of the government. He appoints all of
v fleers, judicial, clerical, administrative, and ex
ecutive under himself. All are responsible to
him, and he has the direction of all the business
of the country, down to its minutest detail. In
turn, he must render an accounting to the pub
lic, must obey, administer and execute the laws
made for him by congress, and must go to con
gress as the representative of the people for any
increase in authority and for the means to carry
out plans for advancing the welfare' of all.
In a city the manager would be charged much
as is the president in the matter of administering
the affairs of the government. He would have
full responsibility and authority as well. Neces
sarily answerable to the people for results, and
dependent upon the council for the supplies of
money, as well as the regulations on which the
government must rest, he would be independent
of that body in carrying out the laws, the plans
and the policies. The advantages of such an ar
rangement are obvious.
The city manager idea is foreign to the Amer
ican mind, which clings firmly to the democratic
concept on which most of our municipal gov
ernment is founded. A democracy is funda
mentally, almost necessarily disorderly. It can
not function with the precision, celerity and ef
fect of a central control. A deplorable, but al
most inevitable accompaniment of this situation
is waste. But location of authority in a center
that is in its turn controlled by the people is
not a . violation of the democratic principle in
any sense. The fact that the government of
the United States has so long survived. is per
fect proof of this. Moreover, experience of com
munities that have adopted the city manager
form of government has been such as to highly
commend it to others.
The Bee recommends its adoption to Omaha
as seriously intended to remedy a good many of
the inconveniences now endured. We believe
that a benefit will come with it, and fully expect
to see it brought about.
Making Use of Convict Labor.
New York state authorities are just now ex
pressing some pride in the fact that they have
adopted a system for dealing with the problems
of prison labor in a way they think will produce
the solution. It involves merely the payment
of a wage to the convict, fixed on the amount of
his actual production on a basis proportionate
to what he would earn in similar employment
outside the prison. This money is turned over
to his dependents, if he has any; if not, it is kept
in a fund to be given to the prisoner at the
completion of his term.
Advantages noted are that it relieves the
state to some extent of the possible cost of sup
porting a prisoner's dependents; it gives the
man useful employment on a basis that enables
him to retain his self-respect, relieving him of
the thought that his labor is enforced for the
private gain of some contractor; and, finally, it
provides a substantial sum of money for his use
when he is sent out into the world again. This
latter is of especial importance, for it should
enable the discharged man to reinstate himself
in society, and thus diminish recidivism.
Labor leaders who have examined the plan
give it endorsement. In fact.it removes the great
est cause for objection of free labor against that
of the convict, in that it does away with the ex
ploitation o! the enforced labor by prison con
tractors. Whatever of satisfaction New York
may extract from the plan, Nebraska will cheer
fully concede. The practice was put into effect
here a long time ago, and has worked out fairly
well. It lacks something of the full effect of
the New York idea, as the wage rate set by the
statute as a minimum is too often looked upon
by the contractor as a maximum. . However, the
fact that it does enable a prisoner to realize
some portion of his productive effort for his
own benefit is an encouragement to the man un
der confinement. The law may be improved by
amendment, and doubtless will be as experience
shows what is needed, but as it stands it is a
great advance over the abandoned method of
dealing with prison labor.
No Short Cuts Offered.
What has become of the old-fashioned candi
date, who was, if elected, going to pass a law?
Offerings of patent medicines to cure the ail
ments of the nation are unusually scarce in this
campaign. The League of Nations is almost
the only panacea.
That this is so may be taken as a compliment
to the intelligence of the public. Political
oledees made in the heat of the campaign have
been too often broken, as much through force
of circumstances as by willful disregard. In
days of transition such as these, no man can
say what measures will be desirable or neces
sary. Problems enough will be presented to the
next occupant of the White House. These
cannot be settled 'in advance by the offhand
methods of statesmanship so frequently fol
lowed in the past, when things were more stable,
and the way looked easier.
Public opinion does not cease to operate after
election, and before any governmental program
is undertaken, opportunity can easily be af
forded for full discussion and consideration of
legislation.
"Defection" of Senator Borah.
A great attempt is now under way to make
capital for the democrats out of Senator Borah's
opposition to America's entrance into any sort
of alliance with foreign nations. It is a straw
at which the sinking Coxites grasp. So far as
the actual facts are concerned. Senator Borah
was listed in the senate as one of the "implaca
bles," declining resolutely to vote for the ratifi
cation of the Treaty of Versailles so long as it
contained the covenant for the League of Na
tions, either with or without reservations. He
also objected to the Shantung settlement and
to other features of the treaty, and probably,
would have opposed it regardless of the league.
This disposition of Senator Borah is well
known. He did not change his views when Sen
ator Harding was nominated at Chicago, and
nothing has since happened to alter his posi
tion. Therefore, no reasonable man will show
surprise that the. sturdy fighting senator from
Idaho voices on the stump the same opinions
he expressed in the senate. He is not a time
server nor a weather vane, but an upstanding
American, asserting the dearest right of an
American citizen, that of voicing his earnest
convictions. And Senator Borah's opposition
to a League of Nations arises from conviction
in which there is no tinge of partisan bias. He
does not reject the Wilson plan and accept that
of Senator Lodge or Senator Harding.
In this there is nothing to indicate that
Senator Borah willingly will contribute in the
slightest degree to democratic success. No man
in America more sincerely seeks the success of
the republican ticket than he does. His loyalty
to his party is not questioned. He simply is
opposed to the country he loves and sincerely
serves being endangered by the adoption of a
policy he believes is wrong. If the democrats
can extract any consolation from the truth re
garding Senator Borah, they are welcome to it.
Growth of Population i Nebraska
The fact that the census report shows but a
relatively small increase in the total population
of Nebraska is not so disturbing in itself as some
might consider. Nebraska's prosperity depends
not so muth on the quantity as on the quality
of its population. The character and not the
number of its inhabitants finally determine its
progress.
The state has gained in round numbers 230,
000 people in the last twenty years, or at the
rate of 11,000 a year, about the normal rate, it
will probably be shown, when all figures arc in
and a basis for sound comparison is thus af
forded. These 11,000 people have found here a
chance to make for themselves homes, to share
in the many blessings and comforts that add to
the joy of life in Nebraska and which lift them
far above the plane of mere existence. It will
probably redound to the good of all that these
be shared with a greater number. The state is
capable of supporting more; has resources that
are as yet untouched or merely disturbed and
not in any sense developed.
The splendid growth of the west end of
the state, particularly in the North Platte region,
where irrigation has . worked its miracles, is
really responsible for the larger part of the in
crease in population, while the additions to
Omaha and Lincoln totals will almost account
for the rest. These facts in no sense indicate
that a limit has been reached, or that the state'
will not be helped by an influx of people.
Proper and consistent exploitation of our re
sources, of the opportunities offered here, will
bring us more inhabitants, and greater output
should naturally follow, assuming that all will
be as industrious as those now here. However
that may be, the million-odd people who have
lived in Nebraska for the last twenty-five years
have the conscious satisfaction of knowing they
have turned out annually upwards of half-a-bil-lion
dollars worth of food products during all
that time, and that is a record in which all may
have pride.
Where Shall Japan Expand?
Back of the friction that is developing over
the Japanese question stand the immutable laws
of biology. No amount of treaty making or
legislation can alter the fact that this yellow race
must have more land.
This, as much as the desire for commercial
exploitation, is the explanation of the efforts at
expansion in various parts of Asia. It is not to
be believed that the Japanese prefer life on the
Pacific coast of America to life in their own
continent. If some outlet nearer their native
land could be found, one of the great fears of
the white world would be calmed, and the yel
low peril eliminated.
The annual increase of the population in the
island kingdom is estimated at 700,000 people.
Clearly this rising tide of humanity can not be
confined within the old boundaries. Already
unrest and domestic agitation is resulting from
the condition that puts too heavy burdens on
the resources of this little land.
From the dawn of history, tribes that grew
in numbers beyond the ability of their home
lands to support them, migrated and set" across
the plains of Europe. It was seldom that they
blotted out the original inhabitants, rather mix
ing with them and forming new peoples. This
obviously can not be in the case of the Orient
and Occident, but there is something to be
hoped for from this process in Asia.
Modern statesmanship must take the unre
lenting factor of biology into consideration, or
have it forced on its attention by the breaking
forth of long pent up human instincts.
Senator Harding is about to see one of the
grandest sights in the world Iowa corn fields
in the fall. Too bad he can not also get a
glimpse of Nebraska's.
"Charley" Comiskey shows the boys he un
derstands their problems and sympathizes with
them in a practical way.
It is the League of Nations, not Harding,
Borah is opposing.

may know what they are investigating) are upon
us. Sonorous-voiced Upholders of Freedom,
with Henry Clay chins well down in size 17 col

daughters in floppy hats and full of exclamation
points. Sober-visaged Japanese dignitaries tn
native costume; shy and demure little Japanese
ladles, mueh awed by the savoir-faire of the fe
male of the West. Prolonged bows, with sibilant
Inhalations, on the part of the reception commit
tee. A l attempt by the Congressors to do like
wise, resulting in the same grace a section-hand
displays in picking up a barrow full of crow
bars. Hand-embroidered expressions of mutual
esteeryu more bows, more inhalations, more
creaking of corsets, more hat flops and exclama
tion points, and the ensemble passes into the
banquet hall. Freedom's Mouthpiece, from some
where south of the Canadian border, tarries be

PROF. HEYWOOD BROUN complains
that getting out a column is hard work because
the paste sticks to one's fingers, and F. P. A.

would not be able, between them, to push over
one column. Hey?

Sunday evening at the Three Mile House
two men from Dedham were relieved of two
tires that they had fastened on their car.
No one knows who did it, but it was cer
tainly a low, contemptible trick. It seems
like the morals ot some are sinking so low
that they will steal anything that is loose.
This is a very bad habit, and the only means
to better it is by punishing the culprits, if
they can be found, to the full extent of the
law.

these scandalous actions of theirs.

Silent, inevitable, calm as fate.
The Mississippi slowly ripples down
Through wooded valley and past valley town,
On mystic errand faithful, to the Gate
Where rivers end and Ocean holds hie state.
More sure than destiny, nor smile nor frown
Disturbs your steady water's shimmering gown,
As high above your oaken glen I wait
And wonder at these men who hew to line
And squat in squalid squares and brew their
breed
Beside the gallant river's far advance
To meet the golden call of life's romance
So am I far from all my fondest need:
Ah, Mississippi, would your way were mine!
The haunting moon lets down a thousand stars
That flash in elfin fires upon the tide,
As ever onward like a dream you glide
That knows no law nor fret nor plaintive bars.
And as no mortal bond your life stream mars,
Contented as an orange-wreathed bride.
My heart takes courage and I muse beside
Your placid progress, solving troubled scars.
O Mississippi, soothe me with your faith
That hurries not nor lingers, but still wings
Its wild, unswerving destiny for aye:
Deep, mighty river, let me learn the way
To her who thrills my soul's responding strings
That whisper ever like a yearning wraith.

STYLE'S MARTYRS REBEL
A new girl had come to work In
a large store in the Chicago loop.
This firl was different. She was
a school teacher, hit bv' the H. C. L.,
who was clerkinar in the summer to
afford the luxury of teaching In
winter.
The place was one where tho solid
counters reachaa to the floor, and
tne girls could wear what they
j pleased from midwaist to the floor.
The part of their anatomy above the

timer had been assigned the task of
"wising up" the newcomer.
"Where are your shoes?" Inquired
the guide. "What ain't you got no
floppers? Just going to wear what
you have on all day? Gee, but you'll
be dead by night!
"Every girl here brings her work
shoes. They'd be all backache and
lfgache if they didn't. Just look at
Madge, one black shoe, one white.
See Mary's boats. But they're com
fortable, you bet! And they save
darning, too.
"Them French pegs! When you
wear them your heel rocks so
they're death on socks, and then
they run over, and the first thing
you know you're walkin on a slant
and you feel like you're strolling
abcut a hilly city like Duluth. But
what're you going to wear home?
Them? That's all you got? Say,
yirls, come see this girl's 'floppers.'
"If you don't wear fancy shoes
down in the morning and back at
night, what chance have you to
cr.tch a steady? Them guys ain't
going to stand for flat bottom shoes.
I don't care if they do talk that
way. When it comes to picking 'cm
they lay hold on georgette waists,
fancy socks and high heeled shoes,

A Word For Faith Healing.
Hfcllevue, Neb., Oct. 2. To the
Editor of The Bee: Permit a few
words concerning tho coming to
Omuha of this old lady engaged In
faith healing and the reception ac
corded her by some Omaha citizens.
Is it not amuaing, to say tho least,
with what a paternal Interest these
critics regard the possible money re
ceipts of this venerable lady? 1 hold
no brief for her, but as a layman
feel rather annoyed at tho manner
in which our would-be legal and
clerical protectors (?) save the
mark would invoke the law to
shield us poor simpletons from pos
sible loss. The childish, absurd sug
gestion to prosaciite for the illegal
practicing of medicine where there
is no medicine used, is, to my mind,
prima facio evidence of unfitness of
anyone so prosecuting to hold office
of city or county attorney.
As to tho regular practitioners, It
it an old dog-in-manger policy,
hoary with age, but the allopathic
growl has time and again been si
lenced as the people demanded the
recognition of other pathies; so ho
meopathy, hydropathy and othe;
systems have succeeded in winning
their place In the field of human
struggle against disease. In recent
years osteopathy, chiropractic and
Christian Science have had to run
the gauntlet of the same growl only
tn succeed in gaining recognition
The best of those old regulars art
free to admit their weakness and tht
faultiness of their Bystem. As to the
reverend opponents, is it not passing
strange that they have no knowledge
of healing by or through faith when
the Master's commission included
"healing the sick" with preaching
the gospel? I am glad to be able to
bear testimony to the fact that God
heals today when approached in the
name of the Christ. As already stat
ed, I bear no brief for this lady, but
would, venture the opinion that she
should not be interfered with, ex
cept it be shown that she uses other
than proper methods and I very
much fear that the critics quoted in
your recent issue a,re not competent
to judge. H. R. BALDWIN.
Where Does America Come In?
OmahS, Oct. 4 To the Editor of
The Bee: Now it is being "positively
asserted and firmly maintained" that
Wilson's league will- help Ireland.
The chief question on November 2
Js "Will it help America?" The Irish
o.uestlon is incidental thereto. Be
fore going in, we Americans want to
know what this league will do to all
friendly peoples. There is no differ
ence of opinion on this point among
the people of Ireland. They are a
stipation and disturb the mineral
balance of the body.

anyhow. It is harmless.
