"REPRESENTATIVE" GOVERNMENT.
A correspondent chaJtengcs the city manager
form of government for the reason that it is not
representative. He finds hia ideal in the old
city council system, which he holds to be truly
a reflection of the heeds and aspirations of the
community. While -admitting the surface value
- of alt" he has ket forth in support of his -pro-
. posal, it inay do no harm to look a little deeper
" into the prpblem. - "
A By ."representative" government, we allude
' to a system under wliich the citizens,, delegate a
certain portion of their pdwers to 'those who
are chosen' to act together with others .simi
larly'iclectcd in the name of all. The United
States of America is the greatest and most sue-,
cesstul example of representative governnent
the world eer knew. Its executive head is
VVhosen by all the people, inyefted with extraor
, dinary powers, whicn he' exercises m the name
of the people of the United States, and ia ill
things stands towards the whole country just
; as the citv manager would k relation to Omaha.
If 4he power of governing Oniahavis too much
vt give one man, how .rnucrf greater is the tre
mendous power of governing the United States?
Ht will be noted hat our objecting corre
spondent to his argument for representation
lias specified no unit of division", and we submit
; , that one man may look after th business of the
. cofRmunity with quite as much .real success as
if it w,ere entrusted to a dozen. Ifo taxpayer's
or property-owner j Interest will suffer any
through haying an; administration nSore efficient
and serviceable than is possible, when authority
and responsibility. alike divided, and when the
members of the government art" compelled to
consult political -expediency r4fthe;r than the real
needs of the community A Tityx council of
board of directors-, similar to the1 Board of Edu
cation, may be given the authority to select the
manager, but he should be His far as pos
sible independent of politics. !n order 'that he
npy give the community the service it should
''have from its executive head. I "' . .
, The public will give up noncof its right
under the plan. ."Let the people yule" will be as
rw'ell exemplified wheii the business ft carried on
by Nine man as. if it.vere being done by fifty,
and the taxpayers will have the benefit of know-
hg that the one man will feci his responsibility
" more keenly than if he were permitted td pass
the buck to forty-nine others,, when anything
goes'wrang. J
Long experience proved that the old system
' was wasteful, a breeder of corruption, jand a
total failure when 1k came to locating the hlame
for anything out of gear. The Commission has
remedied this to some extent, yet falls short of
- the ideal aimed at. The people of Omaha wilt
not go back to thecity council plan; thpr ought
to go forward to tne""cto manage. '

The Element of Chance.
Something very like a sermon may be ex
tracted from the experience of the' misguided
group of men and bbys who looted the mail
car at Council Bluffs Pirst of all, one must
be impressed by the element of chance the case
evinces. This is so strong that it led to the con
clusion that somewhere along the line there was
a"master mind." vDetectives and otfierj. accus
tomed to analyze crimes, to following clues,
and deducing motives from results,, could
' scarcely credit that the thieves' had attacked the
richest car in the train, and had selected the
; most costly loot "without some fore-knowledge
to guide them. As yet, it has not been satis
" factorily and completely established. they were
not informed in advance,but-the developments
strongly' jndicate they did not .know what they
were getting into. Whdjpe they - probably an
ticipated a few hundreds, or at the outside a
few thousands, they grabbed inillionsNLike the
' perfidious Roman maiden who opened The gates
of the, city to the barbarians, they were literally
crushed beneath the treasure that fell to them.
In their bewilderment, they destroyed a huge
amount b securities, "which" must be made good
Jhyi insurance -companies, and fromN which they
. could 'not have derived-benefit. Even the cur
. rency of the United States came in such pro
x(usion they could not comprehend it Viewed
frora any angle, the crime is one of the. most
remarkable eijer recorded and will long stand
as, a fitting example of "beginner's luck," with
about; the same moral as pertains to the ex
perience of the man who wins his first' try at
the new game and thinks he has mastered its
intricacies.
never comprehend what is actually mt-olvedin
fjlie business of feeding them, and surely vvbuld
be surprised at the magnitude of the undertaking
if its details were made clear. Six thousand
reindeer make quite a herd, but they could be
taken care of in the local packing houses by a
single eight-hour shift, and the horns saved to
make knife handles, coat buttons and the like.
The dressed rrlf at industry is a lot bigger thing
than the public dreams of. i
Six Thousand Reindeer.
Considerable prominence is being gi-en an
- iteirtthat sets forth the fact that 6,000 reindeer
are to be butchered in" Alaska this winter and
sent to' the United States to be sold as meat.
Considered .as, a novelty,, the incident is note
worthy; as a contribution to the food supply,
it is nothing. Packing houses at Oniaha fre
quently take care of that" many cattle in a day,
-each producing more ''actual pounds of meat
than' comes from a reindeerand this entirely
outside the thousands of hogs and sheep who
give up the,ghost at the. same timejhe cattle
' are passing on. Then consider the factrtJTat at
Kansas City, St. Joseph, Sioux . City and Chi-
, cago, St Louis and other places a similar work
is going on, so that more beef steers are slaugh
tered every ; day' than 4herev; are reindeer in
Alaska, and the possibilities of that source of
Vmeat supply may be in a sense actually gauged.

Bankrupt Humanity on the Stage
The plays of John Gakworthy are enjoying
a yogue both7in London and NewYork that
encourages the hope of restoring popular in
terest in serious drama. Broadway, having first
teen "The Mob," wherein the plot hinges around
the fate of a statesman who declines to support
his nation in ie conduct of an unjust war, now
is in excited controversy over his newer lay,
"The Skin Game," which deals with the strug
gle between British industrialism and the aris
tocracy, or as some critics claim, represents
symbolically -the war between Etig,land and
In London attention to this native British
author has been directed by the revival of "The
Foundations which" was originally produced
during the last stages of the war, and the farci
cal morality of "The Little Man Th London
papers find the attraction of "The Foundations'
in the uncanny way in which Galsworthy wrote
during the war of London as it would be after
peace came. Three years ago it was called, a
satire, with a cruel and unjust hint that the
lessons of Armageddon would be quickly for
gotten. , In that time of idealistic vision, it was
not popular to-suggest that there woufd be, no
new world emerge from the ruins of the old,
that women of the slums would continue to sew
trousers for a few pence a pair while the phi
lanthropic ladies of fashionably neighborhoods
would still find it necessary to hold meetings
of protest against the sweatsfcop system. The
millenium did notvarrive, anivthe play, comes,
with' the mocking force of conscience, ' i
In "The Little Man," which' also was writ
ten during the war, Galsworthy shows a crowd
of travelers at a little European station. The
American talks at random about the brother
hood of nations, 'am?d the approval of his con
panions of various nationalities-. One little man J
ot nor particular nationality says nothing, but
when a baby in the train is suspected of having
typhus-, he is the only one of tfie party to ex
ercise the spirit of brotherhood. The Test find
excuses to disappear while he comforts the
-ailing child, holding it close as it bites n his
finger.,
This, declare the peculiarly obtuse critics, is
Mr. Galsworthy at his most whimsical, and it is
reported that the audience left wondering What
he meant Yet the pointed tragedy oHhefalse
ness of human jjrofessions of .high idealism
when confronted by the actualities of personal
service and sacrifice could not have been en

Another Effect of the War.
Perhaps tlia most unexpected erTect of the
war is now being-experienced in Paris. 'It is
reported from there that 'apartments are so
scarce and rents so high that husband and wife,
have Jaken to living together agafh, divorces are
fewer and separate maintenance seldom thought
of. Simple Americans who are accustomed to
spending their evenings around home will not,
probably, fully appreciate the predicament of 'the
gay boulcvardiere, who finds himself reduced to
the necessity of going home just because there
ft nowhere else to go. 'One of the characters
in a French comedy that had great vogue in
America once sneers at- the duchess for being
o old-fashioned she occupied the same room
with her husband. And now the smart ones
are compelled by the. exigencies of war to seek
domicile under the same roof with her or him
to whom the law and the church, acting to
gether as they do, had bound the other half of
the indissoluble bonds. Imagine it 1 Of course,
this cannot go on forever, because evejLin Paris
the shortage of housing must some time be re
lieved." , Meanwhile, it might turn out . that the
embargoed couples vwill learn, as Others have
nnder similar cicumstances, that they really can
get along together much better than separately,
and the grasping landlord may in fact be doing
a better job than Hymen in the matterof bring
ing two souls to have' but a single thought. .
, Tree-Planting for the Future.
Charles Lathrop Pack, hcaiof the American
Forestry association, is going before congress at
its coming session with a definite-program for
reforestation )oi logged-off areas. The wood
pulp and paper mn are considering a similar
program, to restore the spruce needed for their
mills. Back of each of these is a dcfinite"idea,
that of meeting a need of the country, not for
the future altogether, because the present has
imperative demands for timber, but because as
a people we have been exhausting a resource
that easily might be made perpetual. In this
spirit The Bee renews its oft-repeated sugges
tion to the people of Nebraska that steps be
taken to plant trees in the "sand hills,"! where
they will grow, and from which the state7 in
time will get immense benefit , Almost 700,000
acres of . waste land in that region belongs to
the state of Nebraska, and every acre, of it can
be made to produce trees from which in time
revnue can be derived. This is not ar dream.
The federal government carried the experiment
far enough to' show that it is practical. One of
the finest growth of pine trees in the central
west is that along the Dismal in Thomas county.
What has been1 done there can be done all
over the region. Will the people of. Nebraska'
have it done? . ,

. Motoring, With Distinction. :
(Vanity Fair for December.)
There .has recently been an attempt on the
part of ttie motor advertisements tdicreate a
peculiar kind of glamour about ridmg In auto
mobiles. To examine these advertisements is at
once to be thoroughly convinced that motoring
is one of the smartest and most exhilarating
of pleasures. One sees handsome, well dressed
and dustless young men and women, driven by
a chauffeur as consummate asa commander-in-chief's
aid de camp, sliding out from between
the gleaming white gates of some aristocratic
country house or stopping to contemplate a
landscaped distinguished as themselves. They

come to rest on the warm and yellow summer
sands, where young bathers In debonair bathing
suits lounge finely against the car, smoking well

SUBDUING DREAD DISEASES.
Dr. Goldberg, connected with the
Chicago Municipal Tuberculosis
sanitarium, calls my attention to the
very rapid fall in the consumption
rate In Chicago during 1SZU. .
Withjn the memory of living men
the death ratfe from this disease has
fallen from 220 to 115. He says the
1920 rate gives promise of being be
low 115: The statement nasi often
been made that the rate is tailing
VA per cwit a year. Dr. Goldberg
tells me the drop In 1920 has been
considerably more than that
Duclaux. former director of the
Pacteur institute, said we never can
entirely eradicate any disease. This
may be true, no one will lightly dis
pute any opinion emitted by . Due
laux, but we can reduce very terri
fying diseases to diseases of minor
importance. It has been' done sev
eral times. Perhaps in time we
may be able to make consumption
a necliirible disease.

ugene Sue, a French' physician
horn in 1804. wrote at least two
wonderful novels "The "Mysteries
of Paris." and "The Wandering
Jew." Hec combined an imagina
tion more vivid than that of Poe
or O. Henry with a marvelous ca
pacity for reciting minute details.
On account of his medical training
he not infrequently describes- In
minute i detail situations in, which
lack of sanitation and bad hygiene
make the point to the story. ,
One of the string of short stories
strung together to make "The Mys
teries ofrParis" is that which defcl
with a poor lapidary, M. Morel,
who lived ir the garret of a hovel
with his wife and jfive children and
his wife's mother, an Insane old
bag. Here are come snatches from
the story:
"In one room lived Morel, his in
valid wife, her crazy mother and
five children ranging In age from
4 to 12. The only light and venti
lation came through a skylight now
covered with snow.- The floor of
a nameless color, foul, fetid, and
slippery, is strewn here and there
with bits of dirty straw, old rags
and such large bones as are sold
by venders of putrid meat and
bought by starving wretches. The
Wftlls reeked with dampness. The
family slept on pallets which enhale
a most retid odor. The tick was
cut across "and the children's beJs"
were In the damp and rotten straw.
"Morel, with his body twisted out
of all shape by long hours of stooped
over grinding, worked at his bench
on one side of the room. The wife
who had ruined her health attend
ing to Morel during a three months'
illness., was exhausted bya slow fe
ver and a painful 'disease which has
confined her to rwd for some montns
past The yonngee, r they girls,
wasted by consumption, rests her
poor little face, blue and livid, on
the" cold bosom of her B-yefr-old
sister. v '

As the excitement quiets they no-,
ticed that the poor consumptive
child had expired without a mur

Objects to City Manager.
Omaha, Novembery,17. To the
Editor of The Bre: As a citizen of
Omaha permit me to reply to your
niitorial of November 17th, regard
ing the "City Manager Plan." which
you claim contains no hocus-pocus,
or any magical formula for curing
public Ills. But It proposes to adapt
business principles to public affairs.
If it would even do half what you
say it would, it would be better than
thn Invlslhln envemment now be
ing handed us by the present elty
commission, whose centralized -pow-
ers with its constant friction is for
ever violating the rights of the poo
pie of Omaha, and who are now
seeking power to amend the city
Charter so they can issue bonds ,
without a vote of the people. ' I
But will the city manager plan, as
proposed by The Bee, restore to the
people a representative form of gov
ernment which all good citizen
believe should contain that funda
mental principle of democracy, "Let
the People Rule?" Or will it pro
duce the opposite rsult?
I cannot help but believe the' city
manager plan of one-man govern
ment will force upon the people a
dictator, whose great powers would
be dangerous, and I doubt if the man
lives who has self control, sanity and
tolerance enough to .use it discreetly
and well enough to govern, a city of
200,000 people like Omaha, y .'
why not get back to a representa
tive form of government? Let the
people elect oAe member to the city
council for each of the 12 wards in
the city of Omaha when we change
the charter for home rule. This
will permit publio opinion to have its
expression In the administrative af
fairs of Omaha which Is now being
denied and would be denied under
the city manager plan. There should
be greater tolerance for the opinions
of the voters and more especially
the taxpayers, Who must defray the
expenses of government This ex
pression of publio opinion should not
lo deprived and its influence will
offer a reasonable degree of harmony
which the )resent city commission
lacis. '
Intelligent and sympathetic toler
ation -of the view points 6f our citi
zens by our hired men (city commis
sioners) will do much toward rem
edying our presorit evils of govern
ment in Oniaha and allay the feel
ing of unrest that exists today
amqngst our citizens. What we want
is a moro representative form ot
government vhero the voico of th'
people may bo lu-ai-i and. If you cam
