Advocates City Manager
"Although commission government in American cities has been a relative success, proving itself more sensitive to public opinion, more ambitious for the general welfare than orthodox mayor and council plan, yet ten years of experience with it have made evident certain weaknesses in the system," said Prof. C. A. Dykstra before the League.
"The commission plan has succeeded in spite of inherent weakness," continued the speaker. "It has narrowed the lines of responsibility, simplified the voters' election difficulty and a quicker response to public demand.
"Criticism, however, centers at one point—the matter of administration. It is one thing to represent public opinion. It is quite another thing to carry out public demands wisely, economically and continuously. A small body of men, elected at large and responsible very directly and above all, are the voters can readily represent municipal desires. Doing away with the outworn theory of checks and balances is a great forward step.
'But we can find a sounder theory of administration than the one presented in our traditional commission plan. Efficient administration requires a centering of responder demands to the demands a measure of stability and permanence, and above all requires training and experience. An elective commission cannot guarantee any one of these qualifications—indeed, it is impossible to secure them by the elective process.
Manager Plan Good
"If we want our city affairs efficiently administered, we must say farewell to the election method of choice.
"The commission-manager plan, now being tried out in a score of American cities, adds to the conspicuous merits of commission government, the conspicuous merits of modern business organization. Under this system the commission scours the country for the best available man to act as city manager. He is given authority to run the city, to appoint department heads and be responsible for its services; to make out the city budget and oversee the spending of the money. He is a trained, experienced official who may expect to spend his life in municipal administration.
"Ablene, by making its city engineer city manager, has derived substantial benefits from the experiment. Many commission-governed cities will appoint managers in the near future, using the combined salaries of the commissioners to hire a thoroughly trained official, who at all times acts upon the authority of the commission."
Professor Dykstra predicted that Kansas would doubtless lead in this movement and expressed the hope that the legislature would provide an amendment to the commission to permit the commission to rest any question as to the legality of the appointment of managers in commission cities.
"A particular encouraging aspect of this new movement is the opening of the public service to ambitions and public spirited men," concluded Professor Dykstra. "Here is at least an incentive to a young American to work in the public sector, aptly called for a public profession." He will be called from city to city as his experience makes him a desirable official. His position is divorced from politics. His promotion depends only on his making good."

Coach Kennedy Brings Braves to McCook for Practice
Play
Bert Kennedy brought his Haskell Indians to McCook Field yesterday afternoon and scrummaged an hour with the Varsity. It was an interesting exhibition of football, the Indians playing open ball and K. U. gaining on straight plays. Kansas showed up well considering the strength and speed of Kennedy's team
K. U. hammered the Indian line successfully and made good gains by plunges. Haskell, however, worked several long passes and gained repeatedly around the Kansas ends. The coaches did not let the squads engage in a regular combat but brought the ball back when it was carried close to the goal lines. Russell, however, got away once on fell across the Indian's goal for a touchdown.
The playing of Flood was spectacular and Powell wiggled through the Kannas for long gain. Russ returned at quarter and kept the Braves guessing.

War News From Bud

Bud Ritter and Harry Willson will be discussing the European war at the Student Union on the other evening. This from Bud: "Well, one thing is certain. After this战 there won't be but three countries, North America, South America and Germany."

Maybe He's Backsliding
Judging from the language which proceeds from our managing-editor's lips, there must be some mistake in this paragraph which comes from a paper in Henry's home town:
John M. Henry left Wednesday morning for Atlantic, the seat of the Des Moines Conference session. He will return Saturday night so as to fill the pulpit Sunday—Botna Valley News, Macedonia, Ia.
And Diplomats Also?
The Walling Club at 1241 Tennessee street went on a hike last night to Woodland Park. Judging from the quantity of grape juice consumed, they are all ardent disciples of Hon William J. Bryan.
A K. U. student the other day got into a train conversation with an old gentleman whose ideas about the University were not the loftiest. During the conversation the old gentleman asked the student the correct time. "Oh my watch is never right," said the youth with a laugh. "It's always an hour or two slow." "Him," grunted the old gentleman. "Then it's the first slow thing that ever came from the University of Kansas."

At one of the recent church parties, a senior girl enjoyed an unusually frivolous conversation with a young man she had never seen before. Later she told to a friend, "Why did he not sat his name)," "Why, don't you know him? He's one of the new faculty men, from the East." Curtain!
