HARDING TO LEAVE

By the Associated tms

rrall seaside, cottage that has housed him
through thrce days of wind and cold,
but his effort te get away came te grcf
when his special train, narrow gauge
and gasoline-propelled, broke down Just
outside of 1'elnt Isabel. After a dismal
four hours en the wind-swept prairie,
he returned here after dark last night,
but his train was held for another try
about neon today. This offered his only
avenue of departure, for the wagon reads
were Impassable te automobiles.
In ltrewnsvllle Mr. Harding is te

was chairman of tl)e Senate subcommit
tee en Mexican affairs; and they arc
expected te tnlk ever bonier rnmlltlnnn.

the meeting, however. Mr. Fall is
merely te make n call te 'pay his respecta
while the next chief executive is In this
part of the country.
During the morning Senater Harding
did some mere work en the speech he is
te deliver next Thursday at New Or
leans just before he sails for Panama.
He has net indicated what subjects he

Hies of the Seuth are expected generally
te be a feature en the address, and ft
would net surprise aeme of these near
him if he took particular notice of recent

situation. It Is known thnt lie has
watched stock market fluctuations with
unusual interest and is making 'a ntuay

Secrecy Is
Dangerous
STAR-CHAMBER methods have always been the
enemy of Democracy.
Public business is best conducted in the open.
Did you ever try te fellow the making of the city
budget in "the old days"? If you did, you knew hew
little of the process was conducted openly, or se
it could attract attention.
It Is Different This Year. Why?
This year, public budget hearings before the
full body of Council bring the planning of the spend
ing of your tax money out into your view. Citizens
attend these meetings. Newspapers report them
fully. Every member of Council is publicly respon
sible. The prevision in the new City Charter requiring
these hearings was proposed and adopted through
the efforts of the Bureau of Municipal Research.
The new City Council itself is a guarantee of less
secrecy. Twenty-one members sit in one body where
formerly 145 members sat in two bodies. Each man
is in the spotlight. It is easier te fellow their actions.
Yeu, as a citizen, may knew mere about your public
affairs. '

But There Are Still Many Things Which
Yeu Are Net Encouraged te Knew
THERE is something sinister, something that excites
the. suspicion of all honest men, in a closed deer; and
yet many vital matters concerning the administration
of the city of Philadelphia, the administration of your public
affairs, that still are net discussed in the open or made easy
of access. "'
Why should net the Sinking Fund Commission, the
Fairmount Park Commission, the Free Library Beard, the
Art Jury, the Zoning Commission, the Municipal Pension
Beard,' the Museum Trustees, the Beard of Prison Inspectors,
"the Beards of Judges and all the ether deliberative bodies of
the city government open their sessions and their records as
fully and frankly te the public as has the City Council, the
most important of them all?
Why is net the public encouraged te fellow their delib
erations, te attend their meetings? Why arc net their minutes
and their records open te citizens and taxpayers at all reason
able times?
Why is it that citizens are repeatedly denied and dis
couraged from access te the public records in the City Con
troller's office, and that even the written communications of
public officials asking information about city finances are
ignored?.
The day has passed when public business was a private
perquisite and a private concern.
The day has passed when the personal probity of any
individual or individuals can be offered alone as an evidence
'of satisfactory conduct of your public business.
In a democracy thz individual citizen is responsible for
conditions. Consequently, he must have the facts.
Secrecy in a Democracy Is
Dangerous
If you advocate open hearings en public business; en all mat
ters concerning the disposition of your money; if you advocate free
access te public records then you are for the Bureau of Municipal
Research and you should sign this coupon below se we can have
your help m procuring open dealing en all matters concerning your
city government. te
