Milwaukee, Wl*., Sept. 21 —The National
Municipal League held it* final meeting
of the annual convention to-(l*>. Charles
J, Bonaparte of Baltimore was the prln
cipal speaker of the forenoon session. Ills
paper was entitled "The KosentSal Ele
ment In Good City Government." Among
other things he said:
■ The one thin* Indispensable, the on*
thing without which good government of
any kind or degree Is impossible. Is good
men. If you have as public officers men
thoroughly honorable and conscientious,
and also sufficiently Intelligent and suf
ficiently educated to understand and dis
charge their duties, you will have, what
ever the defects of your statutes or cus
toms, a good government. If your places
of public trust are tilled by Ignorant, In
competent. self-seeking or unscrupulous
men, you may devise all sorts of Ingenious

Municipal Pol It leal Parties.
A paper on "Municipal Political Parties''
by Milo R. Maltbte of New York city, was
read by the secretary. He said In part:
•The adoption by the national parlies of
municipal programmes—tlu- announcement
of their position# upon municipal questions
—l*. I believe, the true position of the par
ly tn municipal politic*. Already the trend
Is In this direction. Party platforms make
more reference to local i|oe**k>n* than for
merly. Th. voter is tax to content to vole
the same ticket tn municipal a* tn national
elections. He Insists upon knowing what
the party * position Is upon local ques
tions
"What Is wanted Is not so much the In
dependent party as ihe Independent man;
the man who has high Ideals and yet an
accurate estimate of how rapidly progress
can be made; the man who will abandon
any party the moment It ceases to repre
sent his Ideas; the man who applauds vir
tue, horieaty and efficiency wherever he
rtnrts them The larger the proportion of
such men, the more nearly perfect demo
cratic governments will grow; the smaller
the proportion the less will principles he
considered, Ihe more sluggish and Irre
sponsible wdll parties become and the
more frequently will they full to express
the popular will.”
('•tier on INiiltlr*.
One of the prlnctim! topic# of the after
noon was a paper by Bird 8. Ooler, con
troller of Greater New York Mr Coler
was unable to he present, and his paper
was read by Ihe secretary.
Mr Color'* iwiper was on "Danger of
Ihe Commercial Spirit In Politics." He as
sorted his belief In our system of govern
ment, Its plan and endurance, but In re
cent years, he said, our material pro
gress. that should -afegtlarfi the perma
nence of our Institutions has in reality
been the nursery of the gravest dangers
that confront the people
A spirit of commercialism has Invaded
our politics and our statesmanship Pub
lic Interests have been sacrificed to private
gain.
Men have discovered that there Is money
In the business of poll!ice and with many
of them their greed Is greater than their
public spirit.
The rest of this evil which Is so dan
g.-iotia to our Institution*, may be found
In th** mistake* of our system of politics.
Out machinery for the maintenance of
political divisions lias become so vast and
i implicated that large suras of money
are required to keep ii In motion.

In conclusion Mr. Color said;

that what started as a slight cough has
taken deep root in the lungs, and before

'There need be no fear of the spread of

The unfavorable turn given the general
industrial situation by the strike of an
thracite coal miners, amt the possibility
of wage disputes in the Iron trade with
rather less activity In ihe latter Indus
