They require the deep est, clearest, keenest possible insight into the mysteries of human func tions, shrouded as they often arc in darkness, where the ordinary medi cal eye sees but little and guesses at facts. I have given my whole time and at tcntitn. to these maladies of Men. I have studied them earnestly and Iersistently their origin, their ef fect upon the human body, and have developed for their cure various forms of treatment which have been uniformly successful Jn cases where success before was deemed impossi ble by thcr doctors. Out of the vast multitude during the past ten years not a single failure nor an unpleas ant result has been reported. What I have done for others 1 can do for you. When I tell you this in all sincerity, and propose to prove it by the best citizens of liock Island, among whom are many of my cured patients, have you the right to doubt my statements without first investi gating their truth? Is not your health and future happiness worthy your time and trouble to look into a system of treatment th.it has posi tively cured to stay cured thousands of cases which have resisted so many doctors and other remedies? When I offer you free of charge n, thorough personal examination, to gether with an honest and scientific opinion of your case, will you ignore the opportunity and thus continue to suffer and sink? Why are so many men ailing? Why do they continuously take treatment for their private ills and yet never get well? In the majority of cases it is because they secure only ordi nary treatment. It is because they go to the general practitioner, who lacks the teachings of experience in special cases, or what is still worse for them, they go to the self-styled specialist whose specialty em braces, as their announcements im ply, every known disease. It is be cause they come in contact with too many lelts, specifics, free samples, or similar devices. That such treat ment does not nor can not cure di seases and xfeaknesses peculiar to . men is well known to all who have ! tried it.

J8J4, there had been no general national organiza tion devoted exylusively to a consid eratlon of the municipal problem in any of its phases. In that month a national conference for good city government was held in the city of Philadelphia, at the invitation of the Municipal league of that city, in which invitation the City club- of Sew York heartily joined. AU the sessions of this conference were largely attended, the audiences rang ing from 400 to 1.000. .lames C. far ter, one of the leaders of the Ameri can bar, and president of the City club, presided. The delegates, up wards of 200 in number, came from all the leading cities of the country east of Minneapolis and nortii of New Orleans. This conference, which lasted through three days, was addressed by distinguish! officials and repre sentative citizens, including Hon. Theodore. Uoosevelt, then president ot me i nlterl states civil service commission; Moorfield Storev. of Iloston; lion. Charles A. Scliieren mayor of Brooklyn; William ( Low, of the same citv; Kdwin I). Mead, ec'itor "The New Kngland Magazine;" Charles .T. Bonaparte, of llaltimore; Rev. William S. Ilainsford, 1). !.. of New York;, former Postmaster John Field, of Philadelphia; Rev. James II. Ecob, D. I).; Hon. Edwin S. Stuart, then mayor of Philadelphia: Hon. Carl Schurz; Mrs. Mary K. Mumford, of Philadelphia; Samuel B. Capen. of Boston; Horace K. Deming, of New1 York. The interchange of opinions and experiences at the conference proved so valuable that there was a general sentiment in favor of arranging for future meetings, and to that end t organize u national bodv. Accord ingly, a committc- of seven was ap pointed to take such steps us might be necessary to form such an organi zation. This committee did its wcrli thoroughly and promptly, the senti ment in favor of such a step being so pronounced and wide-spread that a meeting for the purpose of erfect ing an organization was called to meet in the city of New York in the following May, at which time and place the National Municipal League was formally organized, with the fol lowing objects and purposes: First To multiply the numbers, harmonize the methods and combine the forces of all who realize that it is only by united action and organi zation that good citizens can secure the adoption of good laws and the selection of men of trained ability and proved integrity for all muni cipal positions, or prevent the suc cess of incompetent or corrupt can didates for public office. Secon 1 To promote the thorough investigation and discussion of the conditions and details of civic admin istration, and of the methods for se lecting and appointing officials in American cities, and of laws and or dinances relating to such objects. Third To proidc for such meet ings and conferences and for the pre paration and circulation of such ad dresses and other literature as may. seem likely to advance the cause of good city government. Mr. Carter was elected president of the league; Charles J. Hon a parte, chairman cf the Executive commit tee; 15. Fulton Cutting, of New York, treasu'rer, anil Clinton lingers Wood ruff, secretary, all of whom now fill the same offices, except Mr. Cutting, who has. been succeeded by (Icorge Biirnham, Jr.. of Philadelphia. The vice-presidents of the league are Charles Kicliardsou. of Phila delphia, also vice-president of the Philadelphia league; Samuel B. Ca (11, of Boston, president of the American Board of Missions; Dr. II. Dickson Brnns, of New Orclans; Thomas N. Strong, of Portland. Ore., and Prof. HI in mid J. .lames, of the University of Chicago. The executive committee consists, in addition to the officers, and Mr. Honaparte, chairman, of William . Low, of Brooklyn: tienrge W. Onth ric and Oliver McClintock, of Pitts burgh; Hector Mcintosh, secretary of the Philadelphia Municipal league; Hon. (icorge W. Ochs. editor of the Philadelphia Times, formerly mayor of Chattanooga. Tenn.; Dudley Til bits, of Troy, N. Y.; Joseph A. Miller, of Providence. H. 1.; K. M. Thresher, of Dayton. Ohio; W. P. Bancroft. Wil mington, Del.; Joseph T. Ailing, lloehester, N. Y.: Frank N. Hartwell. Louisille, Ky.; Harry A. tiarficM, of Cleveland. Ohio. The league has held conferences in Minneapolis (1S94). Cleveland (1SI.-), Baltimore (IS9ii). Louisville (1SU7), In:lianaolis (IR0S), Columbus (11)11), Milwaukee (1000). and Rochester (1001). The proceedings of each of these meetings, published in book form, have found their way into Hit hands of students and officials gener ally and into, the libraries of the country. Judging from the unsought testimony of those who have utilized them, they have met a need for con cise and accurate information and for intelligent discussion of the various problems confronting the citizens of American municipalities. t the erlier meetings the muni cipal conditions of leading cities were, carefully studied and occupied the greater part of the league's at teufion. At Minneapolis. Cleveland, Baltimore and Louisville this phase of the subject was considered at length, and as a consequence the league presented to its members the first careful statement of the actual municipal situation. Judging' from the frequency with which these pa pers were and are quoted, we are justified in forming a high estimate of their value. The statements were first Jand and authoritative and were amply supported by reference to authorities. They formed a sound basis for the student of municipal problems, whether he was to be found in the professor's chair or the mayor's; whether in the study or in the charter commission. At Louisille, in 1897, as a result of a growing sentiment among the ac tive members of the league, there was a feeling manifested that the de scriptive work of the- league was about concluded, at least for the present; and that there should be mi effort made to utilize the infor mation gathered; to correlate it and if possible to adopt a definite and concrete program of municipal ac tion. Consequent ly, when thcfollow ing resolution was presented it was unanimously adopted after a thoughtful dismission: Resolved. That the executive com mittee appoint a .committee if ten to report on the feasibility of a municipal program, which shall em body the essential principles that must underlie successful municipal government, and which shall also set forth a workinir plan or system con sistent with American industrial and political conditions for putting such principles in practical oeration ;and said committee, if it finds such a municipal program to 1m feasible, is instructed to report the same, with ifs reasons therefor, to the league for consideration. . In pursuance of this resolution the following committee on "municipal program" was appointed: Horace K. Deming. New York; icorge W. (iuthrie. Pittsburgh. Pa.; Prof. Frank I., (iooilnow-. Columbia I'nixersity; Dr. Albert Shaw. New York; Charles Richardson, Philadelphia; Prof. L. S. owe. I'niversity of . Pennsylvania, and Clinton Rogers Woodruff, Philadelphia. For two years this committee was at work giving unremitting attention to the subject. Its preliminary re port was made at Indianapolis', which meeting was entirely given over to its consideration. The final report was presented at Columbus in lS'.t'.i, where again the whole meeting was devoted to the question. As a result of the careful work tif the committee and of- lhe thorough lts cussion of its two reports, there was adopted a municipal program which lias received as widespread commen dation as any similar document ever proposed. The program, 'which consists of certain proposed constitutional amendments and a municipal cor poration act, lias been published in single volume (by the Macmdlan company.) with the leading exposi tory papers and the report of the committee. I his volume (A Muni cipal Program) has been utilized by Mich consit ut ional conventions as have met since its publication and has leen generally used by the ni'in erous charter commissions appointed within the past few years. In ihis way the work of the league, through its committee, is having a strong. affirmative influence upon charter and constitution makers, and bids fair to haxe a stili wider influence in the future, liecause of the grow ing appreciation of the intense value and soundness of the recommenda tions, which are based on a very careful and long-cxt ended study of actual American conditions as well as of the fundamental principles of political philosophy. , At the Milwaukee meeting two other important lines of work were naugu rated: First. The quest ion of instruction in municipal government in Ameri can educational institutions. Second. Filiform municipal ac counting and statistics. Committees on each were appointed. President Thomas M. Drown, of l-high Fnixer sity, heading the first, anil Dr. Ed ward M. Hartwell, city statistical!, the second. Doth of these commit tees made preliminary rejiorts at Rochester, which received general commendation at the hands of the press. The report of Dr. Brown's committee, together with th? discus sion of it and the syllabi of certain courses on the nibjeet now lieing delivered, and a brief bibliography. has Ih-cii published in a special edi tion and given a very general distri bution among the educational insti tutions of the country. It is certain that as a consequence of the commit tee's work and agitation the colleges at least will during the next two -r three years give more attention than formerly to the subject of municipal government and that a text-book dealing with the question 'will le published. It is also equally certain that the secondary and higher schools will take it up, so that it is safe to predict that within the nex. live or ten years courses in municipal government will have become an e. tablished part of the curriculum of practically all of our educational in stitutioi.s, both higher and econd a ry. The work of the committee ttn uni form municipal accounting and sta tistics has met with equal encourage ment, but among a somewhat differ ent class. City auditors, controllers and accountants, have quickly real ized not on'.y the great need for work such us the league is doing, and have recognized the (success with which it is grappling with the prob lem involved. The committee sub mitted, as a part of its tentative re port, the accounts of the city of Newton, made up in accordance with the committee's suggested schedule. Other and larger cities, including Chicago, have agreed to do the same thing, so that within the coming year a basis of real comparison be tween the finances of a number of leading cities will lx possible, and it looks as if it wonhi not be long be fore there will be a general adoption. at least for the purposes of conipar son, of the financial accounts of practieally all the cities of the coun try. When this has been accom plished, a great gain will have been made in the direction of economy and efficiency. The hearty co-operation of city officials- along this line has been most gratifying. In addition To the special lines of activity referred to at some length, the league has carried forward an active propaganda ?n behalf of higher municipal si a mlards. and in this behalf has generously used the printing press. Large quautitits of leaflets and pamphlets have been published and syndicate articles dis tributed. In this way a deeper mil more widespread interest h:s been developed, which in turn has in fiutneed -and created public senti ment. The regular and occasional publications, the former amounting to seven volumes, have been piven a very general distribution throiiglvni all sections of the country and 1kic generally come to be regarded as standards. Furthermore, the league has servei as a means for an exchange of opin ions and views and has brought ci!! zelis and officials into closer touch an I co-operation. There has been no phase of the municipal problem which has not been given careful con sideration. To mention only a few: primary and t lectoral reform, muni cipal ownership, franchises, street railways, home rule, charter reform, city improvement. In addition to in telligent discussion of the curr-iw phases, the annual meetings have served to record the giowth of pub lie interest avid tiie development through which our municipalities are passing and to bring tlios inter ested in the welfare of our cities in to closer touch. Since the leagu was organized, in ism, there have been formed three other b-i.lies de signed to consider certain phases of the municipal question: The Ameri can Society of Municipal Improve ments (IS'.M). the League of Ameri can .Municipalities ( isi7). and the National .Association of Improve ment Clubs (I'.lOO).
