Tlcdgon in n letter to tho llrmtrniu f'li.l. vnilu.tn tll.it that organization concern Itself In civic improvement Is u good one. 13 lit why limit tho scopo of Interest in city government and civic Improve ment to tho women's clubs? Tho difficulty with tho city gov ernment as wltii the conduct of nil tho lnrge nffalrs of tlio peoplo lu want of group consciousness. It 13 hard for tho peoplo to think for tho city. They can think for themselves and for the Htunllor croups that naturally form about themselves and tliolr porsonal Inter est but to think for the city as a whole- and to give that tho primary consideration Is almost impossible. This Is illustrated evory day. Thero .arc many people on Coos Day who nro thinking exclusively about tho ralso of wages In rortnln clashes of rmploymont. If wages could be put to $10 n day they would fool that tho city government was Just tho sort of govornmont tlioy had been look ing for. This disposition not confined to thowagooarnorH. Thcronroninny oth- -ors who think tho city should nld by appropriations, nil projects In which they hnvo personal interest. If this woro dono they would think tho city government tho host over formed by man. Every cltlzou that escapes udequnto nssossmont feels satisfied with tho assessor. Every man who is nblo to .got city Improvements whero they will boneflt his property Is sntlsfled with tho city government. Wo nro rail of us residents of some section of tho city and represent some Interest. Tho number of peoplo In any city who tnko Into consideration the city as n whole, tho people ns a whole, educational advantages for the whole community, who consider that in n largo way It Is to tliolr advantage to nay tholr taxes wuothor they uro as sessed or not; who can see Hint nils- Ing wngeu far ono class of workmen out of proportion to what others aru getting is not for tho general good, lu very limited. And yot the future of tho city Is with tho Individuals who have this larger group consciousness, for no city administration can bo expected to stand alone for tho city as a whole. In tho end thero will be little- groups nbout Individual mumbeis of tho City Council, hnvlng their own Interests to borvo und In tho end every matter will bo determined with reference to tho wants and Intel eats of those untillcr groups rather than with rof . eronre to tho larger group, which la tho. city Itself, lu other words, gov ernment will not lu tho end bo better than the purposes of the peoplo who do tho voting. Tho Times thinks that u conunlttoo of fifty men and women chosen re- gantlets of eluli, social or political affiliations, dominated only by tho ono doslro to t.orvu tho city as n wholo and who do not oxpect to hold office but who do desire to contribute Homothlng to tho larger growth of tho city would bo a better solution of the problem than to turn such an Im portant duty over to the women's clubs for It Is a duty that belongs to . men ns woll as womon. Thero Is field lu evory city for some organized work on tho pint of public spirited citizens who want nothing for them holves and who are not willing to re main mere spectators. The Chamber of Commerco and oc casional meetings of liusluebs men are constantly pointing out to the people the commercial possibilities of the city as a whole. Thero Is, how ever, room and n demand for some clvle organization resembling the Chamber of Commerco, nu organiza tion hnvlng no selfish Interest but holding out to the Individual voter roads. It would amplify tho menus of free education. It would enhance so cial efficiency. Tho country needs a navy, but naval experts moro nnd more ques tion tho wisdom of spending money on such ships. It looks liko wnsto of tho peoplo's money. It deprives tho public of funds that tho govern ment could Invest for the nation to far greater and lasting advnntngo.
