Taft's Promised Retrenchment.

Nothing in President Taft's admins
tration so far has more commended him
to the American public than his deter
mination to cut down the expenses of
government. That is business, and if
there is one thing more than another
that the average American appreciates
it is administrative economy. No doubt
the expensives of the government can
be greatly reduced without parsimony
or even undue restriction of expen-
ditures.
The multiplying appropriations which
the conduct of the Government has
called for in the past twenty years have
been in a large degree necessitated by
the marvellous growth of the country.
This is, as Speaker Tom Reed said, "a
billion dollar country" but prosperity
begets prodigality, and no doubt money
has been spent with more lavish hand
than necessity called for.
Secretary of War Dickinson is quoted
as saying that the army expenditures
will be cut $20,000,000. In time Of
profound peace, without even the dis
tant suggestion of war cloud, there
should be no great necessity for heavy
OUTLAWS on our military establishments,
and the present occupant of the War
Office can in no better way demonstrate
that business efficiency he is known to
possess than by this proposed saving in
army expenditures.
The large treasury deficit of the past
year probably came as much from ex-
travagant administration as from insult
ficiency of revenue, and there should be
no need for much increase in taxation
if there is proper economy and right
business principles exercised in spend
ing the public funds.
Mr. Taft has been some years part
of the administration, and he has knowl-
edge enough of how matters have been
conducted, especially in the War Office,
to make his promised retrenchment
more than the pipe dream of a novitiate
in office. Nashville Banner.

Veterans, Sponsors and Maids.

A veteran from a neighboring town,
writing to this paper last week, asked,
in an insinsuating way, if there would
be any room left for the men who did
the real fighting, after all the sponsors
and maids of honor had been provided
with accommodations and entertain
ment. We answered in the affirm
ative, but as similar queries have been
sent in, we wish to say to the veterans
that they will emphatically be the
stars" of the reunion. But they,
themselves, have appointed these maids
and sponsors, and they would be the
first ones to resent any neglect of them.
These young women come on the
special invitation of the old boys in
gray and the young men of the city
who have in charge the arrangements
for the reunion would lack considera-
ton for their elders if they did not spe-
cially honor these girls, who represent
the different brigades and divisions.
Every maid or sponsor who comes to
us next week, in that she is the guest
of the veterans, becomes likewise the
guest of honor of the committee of ar
rangements, and should have, and
doubtless will have, every courtesy and
attention possible. Not one of them
should be overlooked for the ball, the
parades or any of the planned gaieties.
Each one should carry back with her
the verified assurance that Memphis is
the most hospitable city in the land.
But their entertainment will not be
allowed to interfere with that of '''the
men who did the actual fighting"
While our admiration and galIantry
wait upon the charming sponsors and
their maids of honor, our undying re-
verence and appreciation are laid at the
feet of the men who heard the call OF
the South in her time of need and failed
not to answer it.-Commercial-Appeal.

Cuban Cabinet Minister Chal-
Ienges Secretary of State
to Mortal Combat

HAVANA, Oct. ga duel between
members of the Cuban cabinet and the
retirement from public life of one or
both of the combatants is likely to re-
suit from sharp difference of opinion
which recently arose between Justo
Garcia Nelez. secretary of state, and
DIR. Matthias Duque, secretary of sani-
tation.
Both gentlemen decline to discuss the
matter, but il appears on good author
ity that when the strike of the garbage
collectors and street sweepers began
Secretary Velez in a friendly spirit ad-
vised Doctor Duque that he had better
take instant action for the sanitary
protection of the city. Otherwise, in the
event of any outbreak of disease, he
added, there would probably result a
movement in the direction of a new
American intervention.
Secretary Duque, enraged at what
he considered impertinent interference
in his department., made an acrimo-
nious reply. which was followed by the
issuance of a challenge by Secretary
Duque and the nomination of seconds
by both members of the cabinet.
At the request of President Gomez
the ministers presented their resigna-
tions. which the president is retaining
pending an inquiry.
The seconds of both parties today ad-
mitted the matter to court of honor

necessity for a duels The court prob
