 Taft has been in office three had an opinion on anything. We have had an opinion on anything. w ehave heard of him being present at mum Der of baseball games and have heard that he has tremendously en- joyed them But we have not heard of him having anything to say to congress. While the almost daily messages to the lawmakers which characterized that last year of the Roosevelt regime got on the nerves of a good many plain citizens, not to mention the effect it must have had on the lawmakers, the ominous silence which now emanates from the seat of government tends to quite as great nerve strain as resulted from the months of many messages. It is probably very well for Senator Aid.

rich to inquire as ;o when the repub- licans pledged themselves to down ward revision. as it is probably per fectly proper for Mir. Lodge, if he sees it that way, to admit that the republicans never intended to revise the tariff downward. But Taft him self accepted the platform as mean ing downward revision, ambiguous as was the wording of it, and in his campaign speeches he promised downward revision. Taft stands both by indirection and by actual promise riecged to downward revision. If he sas put forth any effort to down.
 szard revision. one of the things upon which Roosevelt almost worked him self into frenzy over, the fact has not been made public. It is scarcely to be expected that the polite Taft will let things go on until the bin comes to him for signature and then veto it. It seems that on this one point, the greatest issue in the last election. Taft has not only failed to carry out the. Roosevelt policies which he was believed to represent, but has failed to keep his own direct

TENNESSEE GOES DRY.
State Wide Prohibition Law Now In
Effect-Results in Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn.-As the largest
city of Tennessee, Memphis is deeply
interested in the state wide prohibit
tion law, which has just gone into eff
feet throughout the state. Mayor
Malone has declared his intention OF
enforcing the prohibition law just as
other laws are enforced. The mayor
does not anticipate any great difficult
ty in the enforcement of the law, save
possibly in the cases of the social
clubs, many of which have been char
tered recently.
Chief of Police Davis says the only
trouble he looks for is from the small
saloon keepers, and close watch will
be kept on this variety Of law-break-
ers.
The locker system has been resor-
ted to by the Tennessee and Chicka-
saw clubs, the leading social organi
cations Of Memphis. Many of the
wealthy liquor dealers, especially the
wholesalers, made arrangements to
leave Memphis on the 30th of June,
some going to st. Louis and others
to Louisville, Paducah, Cairo and
Evansville.

Balm SLAYS WILLIAMS.
Fatal Encounter Between Well

Fatal Encounter Between Well
Known Citizens of Atlanta, Ga.
Atlanta-Donald M. Balm, a well
known man of this city, shot and in
stantly killed Ernest G. Williams in
room 312 of the Prudential building,
where both men were employed as
insurance brokers of the Fidelity and
Casualty company.
Charles Beardsley, also an insur-
ance broker, with a desk in the same
office, was an eye witness, and he,
too, was shot in the right wrist, the
ball going through his wrist
According to Balm and his friends,
with whom he has talked since the
affair, he claims that he shot in self
defense, as he feared that Williams
was about to attack him.
According to Charles Beardsley,
the eyewitness, the trouble which
preceded the killing grew out of
card which was posted on Williams
desk by him last week and which, du-
ring his absence from the city, was
changed and which Williams charged
Balm with changing. Balm was placed
in the tower to await trial.

Drastic UpheavaI In Municipal

BINGHAM is REMOVED
Alleged Persecution of Boy Induced
Mayor Mcclellan to Use His Scalp
ing Knife Upon the Heads of Ger
tain Officials in High Places.

New York-One of the most dras-
tic upheavals in. New York City's po-
lice history occurred when Mayor
Mcclellan summarily removed Com
missioner Theodore A. Bingham for
INSTRUMENTATION after the latter's re-
fusal to comply with certain revolu-
tionary orders issued by the mayor.
The mayors order came at the con-
clusion of his investigation into the
alleged persecution by the police OF
George B. Duffy, an inconspicuous and
almost friendless Brooklyn lad, who,
1t was averred, was repeatedly arrest
ed without just cause and whose pho
tograph was retained in the rOgues
gallery, despite the failure of the po-
lice to obtain a conviction against
him. The mayor stated that at least
two of General Bingham's lieutenants
were guilty of misconduct in this af
fair, and, accordingly, he demanded
their removal.
With General Bingham's retirement
went several Of his closest advisors
and the leading supporters of his re
gime. AS the head of the new regime,
the mayor appointed William F. Ba-
ker, hitherto a deputy commissioner
who indicated that a considerable
change in the policy of the depart
ment was to be expected.
General Bingham and his friends
were outspoken in their declaration
that the principal reasons for the
mayors act were political, and that
the commissioners independence of
the politicians resulted in his removal
only a few months before the import
ant nun. cipal elections of the autumn.

civilization, the Americans and their
British kinsfolk fought in the Revolu-
tionary war and the war of 1912.

WRIGHT cLEAvEs THE AIR.

Aeronaut Makes Three Successful
Flights at Fort Meyer.
Washington.-A great crowd has
witnessed another conquest of the air
by Orville Wright at the drill grounds
at Fort Meyer. esf
Time after time, in his aeroplane,
the inventor circled the drill grounds
in three successful flights, while a
crowd Of thousands cheered him for
the success that attended his persis-
tency and pluck.
After the apparently unsuccessful
trials Of the past two days, the per-
formances of the flying machine were
inspiring. While the machine oscil-
lated at certain points in its flights
and dipped and rose suddenly at other
points, 1t was evident from the regu-
larity with which these things hap
pened that they were due to the con-
dition Of the atmosphere and not to
any fault of the machine.
