RadnrlInn of CltY Expenditnres

In the course of home events the fact has been unearthed by Auditor Petersen that the city's expenditures are outrunning the city's income at the rate of s2oo,09O a year. and the biggest problem before Mayor Exum and the Cit7. Council is reduction of the city's expenditures hy a total per year of at least s15o,O0e. The Mayor is facing the problem bravely. Receipts and dis bursements are to be brought within sight of each other at any rate.
 Rotrenchment at this time in the new and greater city is simply assimilation the act of bringing to likeness all parts of the new civic body 1S2,- sS5 strcag. It is to be hoped no bond issue will have to be resorted to. A city, big or little, should strive to live within it's income and the Mayor and council should unhesitatingly and endeavor to put the city on a non-dencit basis. It can be done, and now is the time to do 1t.

as Jill, but whether she spent the even- ing falling down an artificial hill with a pail of water, and whether a chival- rous suitor impersonating Jack "broAe his crown" from time to time to give realism to the representation, the society editors do not say. Presumably the gild- ed girl who represented the Cheshire cat had only to sit in a dark corner, think about papa's money and smile, undergoing no actual hardship, although passing somewhat dull evening. A young matron costumed as the Duchess in Alice In Wonderland" carried baby in her arms all evening" a somewhat laborious under taking, but as the baby was not a real one it could be chucked in a corner when the Duchess wished to dance the "Bos- ton."
 The ball entailed a burden of thought and preparation, but, as the chronicler says, 1t is over and it was success And society is ready to tackle another task.
 In some Of it's aspects social life is real and earnest. Those who participate must at least be up and doing with heart for any fate. They must learn to labor, if they would leave any footprints in the society columns, which are the sands of their time.

the standpatter republicans, and the bat
 tle of 1912 will relate to this issue con corning manufacturers profits. No other set of men are guaranteed profits by the government. and when it is shown that such a guarantee destroys competition by building up behind the tariff wall trusts and monopones, the democrats will ac- tept the issue and go to the country on it.
 Winona was a stupendous political mis- take on the Presidents part. and he has capped that mistake with @ demand for a guarantee of profits to manufacturers. The democrats and insurgents will meet the issue with a declaration that there should be no protection of profits to any body, The President has a knack of say ing the wrong thing at the wrong time.

The NaNnesboro Meet

"The Continental Field Trials clubs an- nual meet, which was held last week at Waynesboro, Ga, was a great success frop every viewpoint" said T. T. Ash ford yesterday.
 "The Continental is one of the biggest field trials clubs in America and every year attracts general attention and as- sembles good, sportsmen and the finest bird dogs in the country. The stakes this year were rich--amounting to s15o0 Sportsmen from Canada to the gulf and from coast to coast were at Waynes- boro, with their best dogs. The weather was fine and birds plentiful Senator Rex, owned by Jake Bishop of Ruther- ford, Ala, won the rich stake of s350 against a field of 2s dogs, the best in the country.
 "The Continental Field Trials clubs membership represents more wealth than probably any like organization in Amer lea. Numbers of the members are mill lionaires several times over.''
 MT. Ashford and Robert P. Huntington of Staatsburg- Hudson, were the trial judges.

President Taft and the Tariff

When the President takes up the tariff issue he is as mild as May morning The eggressiveness of Winnona is notable by it's absence. He says "the schedules of the rates of duty in the Payne tariff act have been subjected to a great deal of criticism, some of it just, more of it un- founded, and too much misrepresenta- tion.'' The quoted words are the words of the message. Perhaps the last clause should read. with too much misrepresen- tation.''
 Although he admits that some of the criticism was just, the President says the tariff board will not be able to make a report on any of the schedules at this session of Congress, and he does not hold out much hope of speedy changes in any schedule in the next Congress. Fortunate ly the tariff action of the next Congress will not be regulated by the White House. and it is not certain that the subject can be kept from coming up in some form in the present Congress. The President is committed to non-action in this Congress. That much is plain, and not much else is.
 He pleads for permanent tariff com mission. He wants the present tariff board of three transformed into per- manent commission, and he winds up his mild remarks on the tariff with these in- decisive words: "Whether or not the nro- tective policy is to be continued, and the degree of protection to be accorded to our home industries, are questions which the people must decide through their chosen representatives; but whatever pol fey is adopted, it is clear that the neces- sary legislation should be based on an impartial, thorough and continuous study of ths facts" This is not bit aggres- give or pronounced. The war spirit of Winona is lacking and the President seems to have accepted the situation whether MT: Cannon and the other stand patters have or have not. The President is not a born fighter. and he seems to be willing to let bygones be bygones, Winona and all.
 The Presidents manner of handling tn, tariff issue is conciliatory, but after all ht remains the ingrained standpatter tha he long has been. He practically asserts as Mir. Underwood has shown, that tn, republican party is committed to the pro tection of reasonable proits' to the home manufacturer This will not pleas, the insurgents. It maintains the real di ,ldinG issue between the democrats zanc

High oInss Grand onern

If the advance seat sale for La Bo- heme," to be presented at the orpheum next Monday night by the Bessie Aboti company, is as large as the management has reason to expect. this splendid or ganizahon can he induced, 1t is believed to give a Monday matinee with Mad anne Butterfly as the attraction.
 The Bessie Abott Grand Opera com pany is making only a short southern tour before opening it's long engagement in New York. En tour the only operas presented are La Boheme" and Mad anne Butterfly" both by Puceini. The latter opera was given here few sea- sons ago by the Savage company. It drew a packed house. Few operas ever written have been so successful and those who have heard it are eager to hear 1t again. The Bessie Abott company will appear here under the auspices of the Shuberts and MT. Mattice, the local rep resentative of the Shubert Theatrical company, said yesterday that he had received many requests for Madame Butterfly" at an afternoon performance.
 The Orpheum is not only a spacious house. with a very wide stage, but the acoustics are perfect. There are no posts in the building and every seat is said to be desirable.
 The Bessie Abott company is so large that 1t has to travel in a special train The orchestra alone numbers nearly 50 musicians. The company gives three per- formances In Atlanta-'La Boheme'' twice and Madame Butterfly once, and the advance sale there has been exceptional ly large

NAIvETE OF A CITY MAN

Atkinson Kimball in the December At
 Iantic.
 In my college days in the city, hav- ing read somewhere of caged crickets, remember asking a classmate who hailed from the suburbs what crickets looked like, and whether they were easy to capture. At the time, I could not understand his broad, suburban grin. This naivete of the city man was exempliied by a friend, who averred that no cne could raise good vegetables radishe5 would be tough and ones let tuce bitter, unless subjected to some mysterious city process, grating per- haps But since living at Half Acre, I have learned that some vegetables are raised i'll the country, after all, and very good ones, too. Another friend, on moving to the country, wanted q field of clever, and asked, the local l storekeeper to quote lowest prices on clover plants. I believe this was the man who sowed clipped oats, expect ing to raise a crop of oats already clipped. Like most homorous things, this has it's clements of the pathetic; city people transplanted to thes coun- try always remind me, in their eager ness and Ignorance, of slum children in Central Park but, personally, I would not purcnase immunity from rural rid ioule by the surrender of the privi- leges given me by my fresh, city eye.

Commission Government For Alabama Cities

The proposed change to commission government in the chief cities of this state is so important a matter that the bin of Senator M. II. Screws of Mont gcmery should be printed in full, the sooner the better. It cannot be scruti- nized too carefully. Birmingham and Montgomery are, through democratic pri- maries, committed in an academic way to commission government, but the vote in the two cities did not extend to de- tails It related simply to the general proposition.
 The entire Screws bill should be laid before every citizen The legislature meets next month and a single month is none too much in which to study the enabling act The summary of the bill already published may present no se- ricus errors. There is little if anything to critizise in the summary, but in so important a matter summary is not sufficient. Senator Screws should put his bill from top to bottom before the peo- pie to be affected by it. This would re- move all fear of snap judgment or clique rule and would enable everyone to judge the bill on it's merits. If the Screws bin is to be the commission bill of the session it cannot be published too soon or too freely. The general principle of it has been adopted in Montgomery and Birmingham. and it is the details of it that now concern the public. The bill seems to be drawn on progressive lines. but this point can be better determined when the bill appears in full in black aud white.

TALL DOINGS IN SOCIETY
From the Louisville courier-Journal.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal. ~ OMEoNE divided all mankind into
 three classes, the strivers, the A-> thrivers and the drivers. Society in largo centers of population Is made up in part of the drivers and In part of the thrivers. But all hope of not striving must be abandoned by those who enter society. Pleasure seeking becomes almost as great tax on vitality and ingenuity as the routine duties of the work-a-day existence of the strivers for bread and meat. Ingenuity is especially taxed.
 The society editors in Philadelphia de- scribe q grand ball at which everyone appeared garbed to represent famous character in fiction. "The first authors ball is over,'' says one of the writers, "and it was a success" That it's suc- cess hung in the balance, in the mind of the writer, is the natural inference. The sign of relief from the wielder of a sympathetic pen is almost audible in the phrasing.
 Here is a description of one of the costumes:
 Miss Mark Fox was the cook of Lewis Carrolls masterpiece, and looked the part to perfection. She wore checked gingham dress, a sunbonnet and a gen. erous gingham apron. Her face was smudged with soot and she carried pep per castor in her hand to make everyone sneeze."
 Pictorially Miss Fox must have been ''convincing,' as the dramatic critics say rather than fetching. The sneezing incidental to conversing with her. or being her partner in the waltz, must have been a somewhat doubtful pleas ure to the sneezer, although doubtless first-rate comedy to the spectator.
 Another young woman was costumed

 Antony and Cleopatra.
RadS and Shelter For tho pimeleSs

Sidney Lazarus proposes to equip with sleeping room furniture a lodging house for the man without the dime. and the American Bakeries-Candy company of sers to supply it with bread for year. This is a promising start, and it will be strange indeed if this start is thrown sway by the charitable in this season of the year.
 The city cannot reasonably be asked to take over this year any expenditure on account of a free lodging house, for ends must be made to meet in city affairs before 1t can afford to start a new charity.
 If there is to be a free lodging house fin this city in the next year 1t must be a voluntary effort of the charitable. Beds and bread are freely offered. A roof and coffee and heat and some at tendance are now needed. When these are rendered it will then be time to or ganize the proposed lodging house in satisfactory manner. Other cities have them. There is nothing of an untrled pioneer nature in the effort. It is as plain as A. B. c. The police will find the lodgers if the charitable will pro- vide the lacking essentials. It is up to the charitable to accept and make help ful to distressed humanity the offer of Mr. Lazarus and MT. Malchow. It would , scarcely be just and fair to put the bur der on the shoulders of MT. Lazarus, willing and brave though he be. Many as willing as he would lessen the individual burden. and in this Christmas season CO., operation in behalf of the distressed for single night should be attainable.
