Peary's Piqued.

Commander Peary is piqued and his countenance
is fallen He started out to lecture in several of
the Southern cities, but it is announced that the
tour has been abandoned. People in the South who
had looked forward to the treat of hearing dis
from the great and only, Discoverer of the
North Pole are indebted to Governor Brown, OF
Georgia. for the deprivation. Governor Brown not
only declined to make the speech of introduction
when the Diseeverer visited Atlanta bat even
went SO far as to speak of him as faker.' We
do not stand for the ugly word which Governor
Brown has employed to characterize Commander
Peary. but we approve him for declining to act as
curtain litter for Peary's show. If Commander
Peary had been invited to Gt orgia to make pub
lie address in the interest of science. Governor
Brown would have taken pleasure in presenting
him TO the people. But Mr.. Peary is in the show
business for money and his tour through the South
was in the interest of science but in the interest
of the gate receipts.
. Moreover Gnyernnr Brown possibly had reco
lection of the public attentions that shown to
DIR. Cook and the humiliation which followed. We
cannot agree that the Discoverer has any
against Governor Brown He is out for the money.
He has refused to give up anything except for cash
III hand He even refused to make free exhibit
for Congress and that body declined to give him
official recognition. How then, could he expect
official recognition from Georgia.

II is tribute to the reform that no city which
has ever tried the new plan Of government has
shown any inclination so far as reported TO re-
turn to the old. But this is not the commission
plan 1t is the Texas plan and differs essentially
from the former. The commission is body OPP
Grating within the council. sort of executive
committee of the general body The Texas com
mission so termed is the body itself 1t is a full
fedgcd city council reduced to lowest terms, 1t
consists in Texas of the Mayor and four council
men. elected from the city at large without re-
spect to ward lines This body makes the laws
looks after public utilities streets, parks and all
departments Of city government. In short IT per-
forms all the functions of the double branch coun-
ell of the Virginia cities. 1t is council com
posed of five members, who devote all their time
to the city s affairs and paid fair compensation
for their services.
We believe that this is the most scrvlceable,
economical and efficient form of city government
ever devised and believe that the cities of Vir
ginia viii adopt il as as the constitutional
obstacle Is removed.

American market within a short time.
The news comes in the shape of an
interview from an officer of the Ar

of the progress of agriculture in his

the growth of its beef exports TO Eu-

Argentine beef has proven a formi-
dable competitor OF the American
product in the world markets. To
the competition OF that Southern
country Is no doubt due the fact that
American beef was selling some
months ago in London at a lower
price than II commanded In this
country-a fact widely commented
upon when tho meat strike" was in
augurated. n any rival can break
the monopoly of our own beef barons
In the domestic market. Argentina
should be able to turn the trick.
Inasmuch as the packers them
selves admit that prices are oppres-
siveiy high at present. It would be
an excellent plan to encourage the
Argentine invasion by remission Of
duties. for the relief of citizens who
find the steaks and roasts climbing
out of their reach. The reason for
high prices, IL We accept the packers
version. is found in the growing
scarcity of food animaIs'' In this coun-
try. IL that Is the case, there can be
no reasonable objection to the re-
mission of duties above suggested to
relieve what might almost be termed
famine" II, on the other hand

of the case the arrival of Argentine
beef on the American market should
