Commission Rule Is Up to Voters.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
In the very near future there will be
a public hearing on the new city char
ter which viii provide for a commission
form Of government. The members of
the charter revision committee have
been working On this new plan long
enough to have perfected a charter that
will be d credit to the city. Now it is
up TO the voters TO pass upon 1t. How
many Of them will attend the hearing?
How many public spirited men and
women are there in this city? There
ought to be thousands.
The weekly and monthly magazines
have written much of the workings
out of this form of government in Ore
gon and other cities in the West. The
people out there are enterprising and
anxious for a democratic form of gov
eminent. They take an active interest
III all that pertains to their political
welfare. Why are the Fasteners so
p~hlegmatic? Why do they leave their
law-makins to the politicians and then
complain when these politicians do not
give them the laws that they would
like?
There ought to be at least a thousand
persons at the hearing. We want all
sorts of men there; Democrats, Repub-
leans, Prohibitionists and Socialists.
We want to hear every argument for
and against the charter. viii Newark
ers show that they are interested in
their city? FRANK ANDREWS.

LABAMA REvoLTs AGAINST PROHIBITION.

TO ROHIB1TION has lost ground again, this time in Alabama.
rs The Legislature of that State on Wednesday passed an act
providing that As per cent. of the voters may petition for an
election to determine whether liquor shall be sold in that county,
and each county is given full power to regulate the sale of liquor.
Alabama is now under a State wide prohibitory law. the enactment
of which gave great joy to the prohibitionist leaders of the country
There is a decided reaction against prohibition in western communi
ties and it is now apparent in the Southern State, where it has been
popular only a $ a means of better control of the Negro.

of affairs-how awful to think that our
prisons may be filled with persons who
ought to be treated medically.
l feel very much on this subject and
am always struck with the injustice
of the system when ] read of such a
case. Under the circumstances are
not people justified in saying that
there is one law for the poor and no
law for the rich?'' Hoping you will

The SYMPHONY SOCIETY.

At regular subscription concert By the
symphony Society I'm the Century Theatre
yesterday afternoon Mr. Walter Damrosch
repeated Rachmaninow's symphony IN e
minor which he had brought forward on
November T. and the Russian symphony
Orchestra had also played on December >
Carving ont his expressed purpose OF
making some analytical comment on the
chief works OF his FRIDAY programme. Mr.
Daurosch gave utterance 10 his conviction
that Rachmannow and Elgar (whose sec
end symphony will have its first hearing in
New York ~ to-morrow's conceru are the
greatest s,-mphonists since the glorious
davs OF Brahms" He defended the work
against the accusation Of excessive length
bv saving that II was so logically con-
s,rl,cted that IL was impossible TO abbre-
v'ate IT, lie also. In HE Introductory re-
marks upheld the policy OF giving SYM
uEonv concerts without solo performers
,rRing that the small number Of concertos
in the repertories Of pianists and violinists
not only made programmes mOnotonous
hut also frequently disturbed the artistic
evnmetrv OF schemes planned by con-
ductors His exposition Of the contents OF
the symphony by word OF mouth and at
tho pianoforte and the fine performance
which followed were heard with genuine
interest bv the audience. H. +. \.

kb.diviai Red Crescent Society,

The Khedive's mother. who is a Turkish
princess. has accepted the presidency OF
the Egyptian Red Crescent Society which,
a counterpart of the European end Ameri-
can Red Cross organizations. has dis
patched several fully equipped field hos
pttals TO Tripol. with abundance OF
stores. medicines and supplies, and very
large staff OF surgeons and OF hospital
orderlies some Of these field hospitals
have been dispatched overland by the
Khedive's private railroad. which extends
from Alexandria westward ND 10 a point
within forty miles Of the Tripolitan
frontier. Others have been dispatched
across the desert further south, while
some again have reached Tripolt BY sea
The result OF this IS that the Turkish ana
Arab forces facing the Italians in Tripoh
are quite as richly equipped in medical
and surgical way a the Italian army or
occupation.
Money has poured into the Dowager
Khediviah's Red Crescent fund like water
pschas bevs and village rnagnates con
tributinC generously, and even the Feha-
heen adding their hard-earned mite. Sew
eral Of the princes Of the Khedivlal lam
ilv are acting as presidents Of sub-com-
mittees. and there is great enthusiasm
among all classes IN Egypt IN behalf ot
the Turks and Arabs against the Italians.
II is said that not only medical supplies
but also war material and volunteers for
the Turkish army reach tho Tripohtan
frontier by means OF the Khedives pri-
vate railroad referred 70 above. II -
known that Enver Bey. the Young Turk
leader. reached the Turkish camp in Trip
OH IN that fashion but as the railroad is
an absolutely private concern of the
Khedive's. built on his own land for pur-
poses that are alleged to be purely agri-
cultural. ,he British authorities have no
means Of exercising any effective contro!
over IT'S traffic.
