PREACHER URGES
COMMISSION FORM
Pastor, Well Known Here, Want*
Charleston to Aadopt
Government Plan.
Richmond friends of Rev. Dr. How
ard I*ee Jones will be doubtless In
terested to know that h« Is advocat
ing the commission form of govern
ment for Charleston, where he now
holds s charge.
From the pulpit of Citadel Square
Baptist church of that city. Dr. Jones
tact Sunday urged* the adoption of the
Galveston or Dee Molnee plan, declar
ing that either was rar acceptable to
' the present complex system of gov
ernment prevailing In Charleston ana
i most other American cities
"During the first year of the new
I government In Des Motnee," he assert
ed. "some 1119,$60 was saved the
municipality. This system Is not Iden
tical with that of Galveston, but It Is
fashioned along the same lines and If
a vast improvement over the olo
regime.”
Speaking of difficulties confronting
reform movements In many cities. Dr.
Jones said:
"Again and again have food men
1 been put In office In this and other
cities only to learn their utter Inability
to fulfill their own sincere expectations
I of municipal reform and to bitterly
! disappoint those who elected them.
This thing has occurred until people
i have grown hopeless and some have
■ even despaired of the successful ap- ,
plication of democratic principle to
'city government. But there have been
i those who have not lost hope. They
have been working away to find a new |
! system whereby good men can e It ac
tively serve their municipalise and
oven bad men have less chance to be ■
! unfaithful stewards of sacred trusts."
It will be recalled that Dr. Jonas
vlalted Richmond the past spring
when he conducted a series of revival
services at Broadus Memorial Baptist
[church. He ts a son of the late Rev.
I Dr. J. William Jones, Confederate
j chaplain, author and Baptist divine.
