station ; the full results of his awakening did not come until "The Inside of the Cup" was written, a stirring indictment of present day religious

conditions and church methods.

The significant thing in this typical exper

ience is the power of the spirit of the times which is so predominantly social. Once men and

women felt themselves solitary and alone in the

universe and believed every man lived to himself and died unto himself, but today we have become fully conscious of our solidarity and know that we must all sink or rise together. And it is just the power and insistency of this Zeitgeist

that fills us with most hopes. So long as it is able to draw such men as Winston Churchill into

its service the world is safe.

Dayton's New City Government

For a long time the population of the United States was preponderatingly rural. During that time it was very fit that the balance of power be

vested in the farmers and in the state administration which represents the interests of the state as a whole. But when cities grew up as by

magic and the urban population began to over

top the rural it became manifestly unfair to leave to the rural districts control of city affairs.- A

movement was started toward the reorganiza

tion of municipal government with the result

that we are today just beginning to feel the full

force of it.

This evolution of municipal reform has

brought into strong relief a number of import

ant principles which must rule if cities are to be

efficiently governed.

Local affairs must be removed from the control of national political parties. The tariff and the currency question are rightly held as integral parts of a national political program, but they have no place in a city government. The divorcement of city rule from state rule is another important requirement. The gentlemen at the state capital may be admirably fitted to cope with state questions, but they are hardly equipped to deal with those matters which are always peculiarly local in their character. Cities cannot be governed wholesale. Municipal civil service is another necessary requisite. Any Tom, Dick and Harry cannot fill the important offices of our growing towns. Men of special fitness and training are demanded and this cannot be left to the whims of party bosses to select. Hence civil service requirement must come to rule in municipal appointments. The business like administration of the business of the city is equally necessary and follows naturally from the foregoing. The books of a city and its accounting need to be as carefully handled as the records of a corporation. For this reason those in charge of the various offices need to be experts in their own lines. Merely because a man is honest and willing to work hard does not signify his fitness. City government must be so simplified and the machinery of election so reduced that the average busy citizen will be able to keep up with the affairs of his own community.- This demand has created the commission form and the short ballot. The city-manager plan about to be put in operation at Dayton is one that embodies all these principles in a remarkable way. It combines simplicity with efficiency, expertness with economy. Any child can understand its operation and the busiest merchant can easily keep abreast of affairs. For these reasons the country over will watch the new experiment with keenest interest and hopes for its success.

A Commercial Danger Owing to its remoteness from inland districts the conditions of our merchant marine seldom leceive the attention it deserves from business men and manufacturers. Their thoughts are constantly tied up with railways and railway rates, but they seldom come to realize what a tax they are paying needlessly to our lack of adequate service on the ocean. And this service steadily grows more inadequate.

with that for 1913. In the year just ending, American ships carried $378,234,924, while foreign ships carried no less than $3,375,284,022, or nearly ten times as much. That is to say that our own ships carried only 8.7 per cent of our own trade. Since 1885, foreign ships have handled fifty billions of foreign commerce. If we calculate that freight will average 15 per cent, that means that we have paid the foreigners since 1885 over seven and a half billions for getting our good to and from their markets. The loss here of money properly belonging to this country is not the most significant thing in these figures, however; the really significant thing is that European nations are having a steady opportunity to get their clutches on American soil. It is owing to our lack of shipping vessels that Germany and England have gotten such a hold on South America with the result that papers controlled by foreign interests there have carried on a permanent campaign to prejudice the South Americans against the United States. And this condition enables European countries to make heavy investments in Central America, a thing that means that after a certain amount of their capital has been sunk there they will feel they have a right to interfere with affairs on this side of the water. Something will have to be done toward increasing the United States mercantile shipping. The Democrats promised effort along this line, but seem loathe to undertake it. If they fail to carry out this election pledge it will leave a wide loop-hole for some other party to get in, in 1916. By that time, there is no doubt, the nation will be thoroughly awakened to the urgency of the marine situation.

The Great Divide. There is no doubt but what the Francis Sayles' Players will have another long run in Richmond, as the first four performances of the "Great Divide" played to capacity houses, and the play proved to be one of the best of the entire season, the scenic effects being the best ever seen in Richhmond by a popular price company. "The Great Divide" will be given again tonight for the last time.

Those who have read Winston Churchill's almost epoch-making novel, "The Inside of the Cup," have noted how far removed it is from his first popularly known effort, "Richard Carvel." The latter is all romance and glamor and imagination ; the former comes to close grip with these

problems that struggle in the very heart of our times. When Churchill graduated from Annapolis, he determined to seek employment with Herreschoff and become a builder of yachts, but while on a river trip to see the great designer of fast boats, he was seized with a sudden conviction that he was called to become a writer. Without waiting to see the man he turned about and started for home. While at Annapolis he had become' greatly charmed with the few remaining houses of the old colonial type and used to let his fancy people them with gay cavaliers. ' Released now from the grind of school and determined to write, he instinctively turned to these people of his fancy and wrote them into "Richard Carvel," which did so much to awaken interest in an almost forgotten phase of New England History. This work was followed by others equally romantic and equally possessed by historic glamor. But a house painter one day happened to remark to the successful author that he ought to go to the state legislature. At first the suggestion left him unmoved, but later, as a seed fallen in fertile soil, it took root and finally came to dominate all his thoughts. The suggestion, thrown off carelessly, eventuated in his being elected and getting into politics. Owing to his long obsession with the far removed and the romantic Churchill was innocent

of modern political conditions, but his first ex-

periences shocked him into a very full realization of just the way things are in political America. So striking to him were some of his findings they were even able to turn his thoughts from their accustomed channels of imagination to the soberer problems of present day social conditions. "Crewe's Career" was a result of this period. But that book, so far removed from the brightly colored tales of his former years, was but a way-

The Republicans Confess Roosevelt charged the Chicago Republican convention that the nomination was stolen from him by the Taft forces through packing the house with southern delegates. These gentlemen from Dixie come from Democratic districts and are held to the party almost entirely through liberal use of federal patronage. Mr. Taft was very careful to see that this patronage was used

in the right direction. At the time Mr. Roosevelt made his accusation, Republicans vigorously; denied that the convention could be packed with southerners. But now, after two years, these same Republican brethren have made one great spectacular confession of their sin. They have cut off about sixty delegates from the south, an act which tacitly acknowledges that the old basis of representation was wrong. They have also given a final quietus to the talk of amalgamation with the Bull Moosers for many of the fundamental principles of Progressivism were condemned by the delegates at the

Washington convention last week.

"The Woman In the Case" "The Woman in the Case", as played by Miss Blanche Walsh, for several seasons, will be the offering of the Francis Sayles' Players at the Murray theatre all next week, starting with the performance Monday night, with the usual matinees on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Mr. Sayles and his company .enjoyed the longest run ever known for a stock company in this city, staying here for thirty weeks and during the past week they have played to capacity houses at each performance and no doubt will have another long run at the Murray. "The Woman in the Case" is one of the best plays that can be secured for stock. Miss Walsh using it for several seasons in all the leading theatres, as well as a long run in New York and Chicago. Mr. Sayles will be seen in

the part of the lawyer, Mr. Thompson, ,

Miss Worth as Margaret Rolfe. which was played by Miss Walsh, Miss LeRoy will be seen at her best as Clair Forester, "The Woman in the Case." The entire company will be seen to advantage. Miss Mary Mower, the new Ingenue woman, will open Monr"iv night in the part of Elsie Brewster. The play was written by Clyde

Fitch, which is assurance that it will be one of the best, as Mr. Fitch's i

work is well known to theatre-goers of the entire world. The production will be one of the best of the season.

Prof. Prescott, of the University of Michigan, explains why Royal Baking Powder adds healthful qualities to the food. Testifying before the Pure Food Committee of Congress, the Professor stated that fruit acids were excellent articles of food and that of these cream of tartar, the acid of grapes, held rank with the highest both in itself and its effect in the process of leavening and baking. He regarded the results from cream of tartar baking powder as favorable to health. Scientists and hygienists are in accord with this opinion. Royal is the only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar.
