The , problem ot municipal government Is one with which the American people, with alt their genius, with f. all their capa city for leadership, have ' ;ot yet successfully 'grappled, and so It haa come to be said that American cities are wora .governed than those of any other country In the world. With the problems of great cities we have nothing here to do; with smaller ones, its for instance those of the class of Charlotte, the trouble lies largely in ' the : gratuitous service " given by officials to the publlo and in the too great division of responsibility among them. But discussion of causes aside, much Is to be hoped for from the forthcoming conference of the Municipal League and its visitors. Three years ago the Virginia Bute League of Municipalities was organ ised and it is interesting to see its objects stated as they were In an article in The Richmond Times-Dls- patch of November 7. 10B. "The primary object of the organization,; we are told, was "to bring about a closer co-operation between the cities and towns of the State, looking to an improvement in the administration of municipal affaire. It is proposed to study, and. In the stated meetings of the league, to discuss, the various problems which confront every mu nicipality. The community of Interest between the cities And towns of the State la such as to make a careful study of these problems helpful to every communlfc'. The experience of a given municipality In dealing with almost any problem will be helpful to another .municipality in dealing wim ine same problem. It la pro posed that this league ahall be the medium through which every city in the tate will receive the benefit of the experience and suggestion of everv other city." To quote further; .w-Atu"nf.,2n w,1,t undoubtedly b. paid to iilT??"10" If th 8,t lerge-wlth partloular reference to the health of the cltlee represented in th. league The proper expenditure of tha cltv'. revenue what proportion of a Riven an Jnoome should be appropriated to ..... "e' iiuiii mna wnat to that department-Is a matter of vital Importance i fT.5" ln'clPallty. To this end It Is desirable that there should be a uniform ayatem of accounting throughout the " aucn a system existed, it would be possible lor one city to ascertain whether H was devoting more to a given department than that department was en titled to. A comparative statement could be made which would be halnfui in thi. particular. "A bureau Of seneral Informal Inn la In view, whloh shall gather and disseminate all kinds of Information relating to the administration of municipal affairs In the ernes oi ine atate. TO this bureau would oe auomiiiea me renorts of tha nnnm city officers and beads j-ef departments from which reports compilations would on nwae ana comparative ' statement Is sUed. "In brief, the purpose of the league will be the systematic collection of Informa tion relating to raunlolpal affairs; to en courage the exchange of suggestions be tween the various cities of the State; to propose needed legislation, and generally to Interest the publlo In those matte which will tend to the growth and de velopment of the cities of Virginia." Such we understand to be the gen eral purposes of the meeting to be held in Charlotte In November. Un doubtedly a wide field of usefulness opens before the league to be organ ised here and we ahall expect much good to' reault to the towns and cities of the State from It. NEAV YORK STATE. All election forecasters engaged in seeking actual facts rather than merely a basta for partisan claims agree that New Tork State, could not be much closer on the national tick ets. Within the past few weeks a long apparent lead of Taft over Uryan has been cut down to very small proportions. But concerning the governorship there la no auch doubt entertained. In this contest the drift, likewise Democratic, haa gone ao far that the result appears to be almost a foregone conclusion. On the distinctively Demoeratlo is sues of more personal liberty and lees government Mr.thanler haa been making great gains. Governor Hughes returns from a Western cam paign tour of unquestionably great tervice to hia party's national ticket and finds his re-election prospects be come the merest fighting chance. Newspaper "straw votes" and the betting odda alike point to Chanler. The New York World, which gives the State to Taft, though by the tiny and easily reversible majority of iS. 990, gives it to Chanler by nearly 200,09ft. Beyond Question Chanler remarkable strength as against Hughes has been a most potent fac tor in brightening Mr. Bryan's pros pects. The gap of a hundred thou sand" or more vote between party State and national tickets weald be a marvel for New Tork, even la this day of much independent voting and occasional treachery. ,; New . tork BUte, to an appearance, is t Demo cratic by many thousands locally and la anybody's nationally.: f W do not recall a presidential campaign when It was better worth watching:, ; Tha epeech of "Hon.
