MoRNcsEpEMBER
WILL COUNCIL PROCEED
TO IMPEACH THEM
SI4 Bill is Still Unpaid
TO-Niqht Board Meet.
Tonight the City Council meets

Tonight the City Council meets.
1t is apt to be a meeting of some
interest.
OF course the interest will chiefly
centre about the lighting busineso.
In one way or another the lighting
business contributes to the enliven-
ment of Council proceedings with 9
F! regularity like that kept by carefully
wound clock.
! This time the bill, the old. moss
covered, well worn, often asked for
but as yet still unpaid, bill of the
| Southern Printers is apt to be the
! pivot around which the talkfest will
reyolve.
The $l4 still fingers costly in the
city treasury, the Southern Printers
are still possessed of a yearnfuI feel
ing, the ink is dry on the resolution
ordering the City Clerk to pay the ac-
count, and the City Clerk still fails
to see things the same that the ma
jority of Council see them.
Here's a how-do-you do.
If the Clerk pays the bill he is
fearful that it may mean trouble for
him
If he doesn't pay the bill he is like
wise fearful that it may mean trouble
for him.
The Clerk has somewhat of the feel.
ing of the raw recruit that has got
caught in between two firing parties
aud can't find log to crawl into.
The bill was presented for payment
some time ago, somewhere around the
Fourth of July, if not sooner. 1t was
regularly passed for payment
But the Mayor refused to sign ii.
holding that it would be a defiance
OF the mandate of Judge Littlejohn of
the Superior Court, and bring him
into contempt of that august tribunal
for violating its injunction against
the city.
The majority of Council pooh-pooh-
ed such an Interpretation of tho
Judges decision.
But the Southern Printers kept on
whistling for the $14.
Finally at the las meeting of Coun-
Gil the matter came up again. The
Mayor again positively refused to
countenance the payment of the bill
Then the majority of Council went
step further and by vote of FIVE
aldermen to one alderman and the
mayor positively ordered the Clerk
and Treasurer to pay the bill.
The Southern Printers smilingly
went up to collect the $14.
But the collector who went up
smilingly came down gloomily. No
payment, not honored, Illegal, or
something of that sort marked the
visit.
The question now is, what will
Council do tonight?
The Mayor won't sign the bill.
The Treasurer won't pay the bill
And yet five to one of the aldermen
positively command that the bill be
paid
Will it be impeachment proceedings,
will it be mandamus proceedings, will
it be
Well, what will it be, anyway?

masses of cheering people. The re-
porter who asked whether Mr.. Roose-
welt viii be our next president blurted
out thought already formed in many
minds.
No president since Washington has
been the object of vilhfcation more
venomous, bitter or intense than that
which has been showered on Roosevelt.
All the resources of the brightest per-
verified intellects and the most impish
ingenuity have been exhausted in efforts
to inJure, belittle and wound him. Not
withstanding it all, the masses of the
people have retained unfaltering their
confidence in the man they chose and
accepted as leader. After all the bat
tering, after all his own blunders and
faults of taste and discretion. Mr..
Roosevelt goes out of office more popu-
lar even than he went in as president
four years ago. His enemies and de-
tractors are few and, so far as practical
results and effects go, are very feeble.
They are forced to the miserable fate
of standing by watching the man they
hate so horribly gain strength and pop
ularity and accompanied wherever he
goes by the plaudits of the public; the
sneers and the accusations directed
against him unlike UNDECIDED blown back
by the public voice to sting the faces Of
those who emit them. Richmond News
Leader.
We commend the above well merited
and beautiful tribute to Mr.. Roosevelt
to the careful and prayerful considera-
ton of the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. We
hope our esteemed Norfolk contempo-
rary will cease to make itself ridiculous
by continued filings at the greatest and
most popular living American citizen.

Cooking at Sea,

With a population of more than 4. 900
to be cooked for and fed, three, four
and five times a day for a week, and
with no butcher, bakery and grocery
around the corner" the culinary ar
rangements of a modern steamship
must, of necessity, be most complete.
Great cold storage rooms for perish
able provisions must be provided as well
as the appliances for cooking and pre-
pairing the raw materials. The kitchen
and provision rooms of the George
Washington" the newest and largest
vessel afioat, are of enormous proper
tons. The kitchens of the first and
second cabins are near the dining rooms
of their respective classes. In them
are great steaming stock pots, ranges,
steam tables, and all modern machinery
which can in any way aid the chefs in
their work.
Many of these devices such as egg
heaters, potato parers, mincing ma
chimes, automatic egg boilers. coffee
mills and dishwashing machines are
worked by electricity.
In addition to the kitchens there are
on board ice houses for meats, bakeries,
confectionery room and scullerv
rooms. In all, the kitchen and pro-
vision rooms occupy a space of AZ, 900
cubic feet.
The cold storage and provision room
Is so arranged that their contents NAV
be readily sent into the kitchens by
electrically operated dumb walters.
The greatest attention was given
every detail Of the provisioning and
Kitchen accommodations in order that
the great number of passengers and
crews might be properly and promptly
fed.

Mrs. Russell Sage is said to paw the

An eagle has been shot by a keeper
on the Tiberton estate, Herefordshire,
England. 1t measures seven feet ten
inches across the wings and is two feet
ten inches in length. 1t is of light
brown color, apparently two years old
and is believed to be of the white eagle
species.
In considering the speed of a steam
ship it must be remembered that a knot
or nautical mile is very different thing
from a land mile. A mile is 5, 28O feet.
while knot is $3.50 and a fraction.
Therefore, when a vessl makes %. O5
knots and hour, she passes over very
nearly q land miles.
The United States has taken the lead

featuring, to produce its own electrical

According to the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, the Georgia congressional delega-
tion-all Democratic-is split to frag-
ments as result of the contest over
the speakership and the rules of the
House of Representatives.
Six of the IL Congressman are de-
nounced as traitors to the Democratic
organization by the other five, and
three of the five have threatened to
take the stump in the next campaign in
Georgia to oppose the reelection of the
six who followed Cannon and Dalzell
and Fitzgerald against Champ Clark
and the caucus of the party. The six
are defiant and hurl back counter
charges of previous boiling by the
present regulars, and these erstwhile
brethren in Democracy ''do not speak
as they pass each other by
And so the Grand Old Democratic
Party" moves on to 1912!
How unfortunate a spectacle this
would make if there were Democratic
partly But the Democratic party is
really myth. 1t does not exist save
in tradition and imagination. 1t is only
name-merely shell.
Pick the alleged Democratic party up
on any important issue like this which
divides the Georgians, and it falls to
pieces, as it did last week.
There is no possible coherency in the
present Democracy. There is no con-
sistency. Therefore there can be no
policies, no principles, no success.
State a principle or a policy in the
ranks, and faction growls its dissent
and registers its fatal division.

TARIFF BILL FIRST.
President Taft Will Discuss Nothing
ESe-PaSS the Measure Then
Talk About PATRONAGE

Washington, March 29.-''Pass the
tariff bill; then we'll talk about pat
ronage." That's what President Taft
is telling members of Congress. It's
hardly likely he is putting the ultima
tum into such blunt phraseology, but
Senators and Representatives have no
difficulty in understanding what he
means.
A Senator or Representative goes to
the White House eager to know what
about" postmaster, or collector of
customs, or intereal revenue in his bail
wick.
The Presidents first. INQUIRY ia
whether the public business is suffering
by reason of the incumbent's remain
ing in Office. The Senator or Repre-
sentative almost always has to admit
that it is not. Mr.. Taft then points out
that number of very vital things are
demanding his attention, and that Con-
gress; among them he mentions the
tariff and suggests that there is an in
stance where business will suffer by
delay. Inquiry is politely made if the
Senator or Representative doesn't think
the filing of this particular office can
wait until some of these more vital
things are off hands.
1t is all very gently and skillfully put,
of course, and there is not in the Presi-
dents manner the faintest hint of pres
sure or coercion, but when the Senator
or Representative leaves the White
House he is impressed with the convic-
ton that If he wants to pass out any
pie to his faithful henchmen it behooves
him to place no obstacles in the way of
the tariff bill
The President is convinced that the
greatest service he can render the
country at this time is to do all in his
power to secure proper and early re-
vision of the tariff, and in delaying ap-
pointments until the tariff is off hands
he is playing his strongest possible card;
and he is playing it like diplomat and
a waster politician.
