Cleveland's New Charter In the exuberance of the moment Cleveland, Ohio, is proclaiming its new charter for city government the best in the world. This claim is probably far fetched but much can be forgiven when any American city escapes the thraldom of our ordinary municipal government and waxes enthusiastic over its new freedom. Cleveland's latest charter was obtained under the new home rule for cities law passed at the last session of the Ohio legislature. It was adopted by the citizens of the city by a vote of 24,000 to 12,000. Under the new charter all executive and appointive power rests with the mayor, and all legislative powers are exercised by the council. The mayor appoints a director and subordinates for each of the six departments into which the city business is divided. These are : public safety, welfare, finance, utilities, accounts and service. Council then makes the laws for the guidance of these department heads. The following rights reserved by the people give them a tremendous leverage in controlling their city, government : Short ballot, to insure intelligent voting. Nonpartisan ballot, to discourage political machines. Recall, to oust bad officials. Initiative, to give people direct law-making power. Referendum, to check council if necessary. Smaller council, to expedite business. Outside expert accounting, to insure honest accounting. Nomination by petition, to escape cost and red tape. Preferential voting, to give majority rule. ' Centralized power, to prevent shifting of

blame. j Easy charter amendment, to profit by ex-J perience. J Limited franchises, to make municipal own-i ership easy. m j

This is simply a variation of the commission form of government and the business manager plan of government for cities. It marks a great advance over the inefficient form of municipal government Richmond suffers from. It brings home the fact that the Democrat legislature of Ohio was more progressive than the Democratic Indiana legislature, which refused to pass any legislation that would free Indiana cities from boss rule.

is the two angled dream that seems to be in j

process of working out. To the north, Ferdinand's dream entailed taking territory conquered from the Turks by the Servians from the Servians. To the south he threatened Saloniki, a pearl that fell to the Greeks by right of conquest through their splendid army and dashing navy. Consequently, Constantine is being helped towards a realization of his dream by the Servians who have no desire to be Bulgaria's Denmark. Nor does Constantine wish that for he knows Greece then might easily become Bulgaria's Austria. Ferdinand's army of Bulgars is divided into two parts. The stronger is in the north seeking to overwhelm the Serbs. The weaker is in the south seeking to hold in check Constantine and his Greeks. If the Greeks are held back and the Servians overcome, then Ferdinand can 'hurl his victorious legions of the north against his southern enemy, Constantine, a favorite mode of fighting of Napoleon the Great. Should Ferdinand fail in his attempt, a Balkan federation will probably not materialize and in the ascendant. the star of Constantine and the Greeks will be

GLORY OF AMERICAN RELIGION

George A. Gordon in June Atlantic. It la at once admitted that nothing is satisfactory in the present conditions of the religion of America. As in every other region of our life, here too discontent and confusion reign. There is, however, one great note of -prophecy ringing in the heart of religious America audible above the tumult of confused and contentioug tongues. A group of serious American students, engaged in the arraignment of an unsatisfactory college preacher, were silenced by one of their number, who said, "I plead for this preacher. He has do'ne me a world of good. As I have watched him striving earnestly to find something and always finding it, I have been stimulated to hunt for that something myself. I am now engaged n the hunt, and I have already found in religion a reality and greatness beyond my utmost dream." American churches, Protestant, Catholic and Greek Orthodox, all American religious bodies, are more or less in the condition of that college preacher.

Fighting for Empire

The present Balkan situation is somewhat similar to that out of which Prussia emerged to

' be the predominant figure in the German em-'.pire.-With this exception. Unlike Bulgaria, 1 Prussia overcame the smaller states first and then tackled her Turkey, France. In 1865, Prussia defeated Denmark and took -I by right of conquest the Danish provinces of

Schleswig and Holstien. This action stirred the jealousy of the Austrian Germans who had always maintained that Austria should head any empire of the Germans. Prussia, awake to its opportunity, immediately hurled its legions against the Austrians in 1866. In an incredibly short campaign the Prussian arms were victorious and Austrian aspirations for leadership in a German empire were for all time destroyed. In 1870-71 Prussia and the allied German states warred on and defeated France. A billion dollars indemnity and the provinces of Alsace and Loraine fell to the victors. The king of Prussia was declared emperor of the Germans in the palace of the ancient French kings at Versailles.' A dream was realized. Bulgaria has sought to be the Prussia of the Balkans. Only Bulgaria pursued her ends differently. She allied herself with the other Balkan nations and with Greece in a common war of territorial spoliation against the Turk. Successful in that war, Bulgaria would now like the lion's share "of the conquered territory. Obtaining it she would be in line to take the predominant position in the formation of a Balkan empire. Greece, of course, is not a Balkan nation and has no desire to be included in an empire of those

peoples. Greece, whose new king bears the name of Constantine, . remembers the time when a Greek ruler named Constantine held sway from the city he founded, Constantinople. The present King Constantine is not averse to pursuing a policy that will make Constantinople the capital of a Greek empire. There are more Greeks living in European Turkey than members of the Balkan race. There

are twice as many Greeks living in European ! .Turkey and across the sea on the shores of Asia! Minbi" and on its fringing islands than in the!

Carefully Selected. One of the most remarkable features of life in New South Wales Is the transformation of criminals into bardworking citisena. Of the 80,000 settlers there In 1S2L 0,000 were or bad been convicts. It la said that on board an American Uner a boastful Australian asserted loudly and over and over again that "the men who settled Australia were a remarkably sensible lot." "Yes." said an American quietly, "I have always understood that they were sent out by the very best Judge.

Above is shown Miss Emily Randolph, one of the most expert of Eastern society equestriennes, driving her mount to the limit in a race at Meadow Brook, L. I. The fact that a majority of American girls have discarded the side saddle to ride astride has been brought to the attention of Queen Mary of England by American girls and women riding in this sensible manner in Hyde Park, London. The puritanical Queen Mary is no at all in favor of these "too progressive" steps by women, and has practically forbidden the women of the English court from riding astride. The edict will, according to precedent, be obeyed by all members of London society, a hard blow to American society girls who plan spending a season in the English capital.

Talks on the Public Library

LIBRARY HOURS '

The library Is open on week days for the delivery of books from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m., and on Saturdays from 9 a. m. to 8 p. m., in the adults department. Reading room is open from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. on all days with the exception of holidays when it is closed and on Sundays from 2 p. m. to 6 p.m.

Paid In Full. The Francis Sayles' Players will offer at The Murray theatre next week the great American play "Paid In Full." This is one of the most successful plays ever writen by Eugene Walters, and had a long run in all the large cities. On Friday night of next week The Sayles' Players will celebrate their one hundred performance in Richmond when beautiful silk program will be given to each lady attending the performance.

Today's subject at the Palace will introduce to Richmond photo-players one of America's greatest emotional actresses "Miss Maude Fealy in the 3 part Thanhouser classic, "King Rene's Daughter, a poetic drama from the Danish by Henrik Heri. Miss Fealy, who in her stage career has supported Sir Henry Irving, William Gillette, Richard Mansfield and Nat C. Goodwin, is supported by Mignon, Anderson, William Russel, Harry Beulian and many other Thanhouser players. The story of the fifteenth century is beautiful. The costuming is wonderful and presented by such a cast of players this picture sets a new standard in filmdom.

Voice "Yes, sir; how soon is the band going to play?! New Orleans Times-DemocraL v '

To Be Produced Soon. "Brown's In Town" a funny farce comedy by Mark Swain, is one of the earliest offerings of the Sayles Players This is said by many to be even funnier than "Charley's Aunt" or Mrs. Temple's Telegram," "Brewster's Millions," "The Man From Home," "In Wyoming" and "The Traveling Salesman" will also be produced soon.

Dr. Johnson is said to have remarked of one who professed ignorance of the use of playing cards, "What an old age he is preparing for himself!" This same thought often arises when one sees a man so absorbed in his regular occupation, by which, he gains his livipg, that he takes no interest in anything else. Now this is a mistake. By all means cultivate a hobby! Let it be something so different from your business that you will be developed by its pursuit. One of the most skillful surgeons ever known in Richmond was a man with several hobbles. He was a fine photographer and an enthusiastic huntsman. He studied French and read French novels. There was always a side issue by which he sought relaxation from the serious affairs of his life, by means of which he became a man of interests and sympathies, which gave an elasticity to his brain that could not be acquired or retained in any other way. One sees German men knitting. A very agreeable and useful occupation! A great outlet for pentup energy. A young actress and her husband whom we casually met, occupied every leisure moment planning a chicken farm and save money for an incubator. Herbert Spencer sought relaxation in piano playing. Joseph Jefferson painted pictures. A grocer became one of our greatest Shakespearian scholars. Burnham, now a great astronomer, a few years ago was a court stenographer, and had a small telescope in a city back yard. Any one of us can study astronomy and learn the ways of the planets and to trace the constellations these summer nights. Even if we dwell in flats and In houses withcut gardens, we can read about gardens and have gardens and castles in Spain. The birds and wild flowers are obviously seeking our acquaintance and there are many unheard of pursuits and hobbies awaiting exploitation. And where can you find better assistance in cultivating your hobby than that to be found at the library. So by all means acquire some hobby, thereby becoming more interesting and interested. Be you man or woman, young or old, have something to think of besides the regular business of life. The business at the library changes
