Among othor things written in the
paper of Governor Dix are:
THE time has como when the cities
should demand that instead of beinr
governed as subject provinces they
should be endowed with powers of
government as complete and efioient
as those vested in State and nation.
The State should permit every city
to be self. governing community. Tho
relation OF the State to municipal gov
ernment should begin and end with
tne grant to the municipality of power
10 act for itself. Endow our cities
with elf-government, to which they
are entitled. and at once there will be
created sense OF civic pride and civic
responsibility that will in turn gen
crate vivid sense of public welfare"
Governor Dix is wholly right. Tho
municipalities Of the nation certainly
are too restricted within spheres in
which they should have practically
exclusive power. The cities of this
country do not enjoy that measure Of
local elf-government which is. con-
sistent with a republican country. Elk
cept in matters of State and general
policy. the cities and towns should be
allowed to govern themselves without
interference by body far removed
from the interests of the particular
municipality. This republic is founded
on the basic idea that each commun-
ity shall govern its own affairs-which
is far from the fact now.

Ihat death which he had faced SO
often unfinchingly in almost half a.
century of gallant service finally over
came Winfield Scott Schley yesterday.
AT last this heroic old fighter
Of the sea has hauled down his flag
and touched with unreturning tread
the golden shore of Eternity. His
life was a series Of meetings with dan
ger and the unknown. out of which
he came unscathed his record stain
less. despite the persecution of petty
enemies and narrow rivals
No naval history Of this nation can
be written without extended and
honorable mention of this distin-
guished Marylander. In the War Be-
tween the states he served the Union
with conspicuous gallantry in unnum-
bered engagements; later. ne risked
life to push through walls of ice and
the fearful rigors of the far North to
rescue the ill-fated Greedy expedt
ton. His most famous fighting was
in the Spanish American War when
he commanded the Flying Squadron"
The story of Schleys skill and
dauntless courage at Santiago when
he was pitted against Cervera cannot
be erased from the annals OF Ameri-
can bravery. His course in that cele-
brated naval battle seems moro COM
mendable as time goes on-only a few
days ago an eminent naval critic de-
clared that Schley's tactics in that
fight were those now approved by the
best naval authorities of the world
Forty five years Admiral Schley
served under the flag of his country
He was greater than his critics
greater than his rivals. and through
the rapidly dissolving fogs OF I'M
truth and prejudice. he looms larger
In the history OF the nation. Schley
was essentially hghter-circum-
stances played little part in his sue
cesses-he fought hard and so his
victories came to him. Fifty years
from now his will be among the few
really permanent names in the history
OF our war with Spain.

IT'S ADVANTAGES.

Clinton Rogers Woodruff, Secretary

his annual municipal survey report.
made the following summary this year
of the advantages OF commission gov
eminent for cities:
1t puts the emphasis on the good of
the city. rather than on the interest
OF n party or candidate.
1t requires that municipal AFFAIRS
shall receive due consideration on
their merits, without regard TO irrel-
evant questions. such as State or ma
tional politics
1t insists upon directness OF nom!na-
ton. election and responsibility after
election.
1t demands simplicity OF electoral
and governmental machinery, the short
ballot and responsiveness to the public
Will; II therefore encourages ensy and
intelligent voting. checks partisan and
fractional domination by giving control
TO voters-if they wish to exercise IT.
1t believes that thorough publicity
snsures effective control.
1t demands that efficiency and merit
shall be the sole basis or all appoint
ments in a democracy.
II demands concentration of author
lty and Responsibility.
In other words, commission govern
nent means business and is business,

upon the same principles as those by
which aldermanic government is oper-
ated. they would be ruiaed--but VIVA

CHARLES ". DARLINGTON
DR.. Charles v. Darlington. Richmond

80 OHoi iVo " lOn,
My Dear sir,-I have now before me
a copy OF to-day's Times-Dispatch, to
which you called my attention, and
must say that 1t is misleading as to
my position with reference to your re-
election as surgeon at the peniten
tiary. Some week or ten days ago /
was called on by reporter for one OF
the afternoon papers. and expressed
practically the same sentiments as
later edition. although I knew moth
ing of Senator ELarman's interview
until ! saw 1t in print. In the same
issue with Senator Harman's interview
following language appeared in bold
black type a emanating from me:
He thought that If the present
board was actuated in its selection OF
surgeon solely by desire to choose
the best qualified man for this office
that the board could not fail to return
DR.. Darlington" etc.
/ do not for a moment suppose that
the reporter intended to misquote me
but ! did not use this language, and
cation. l called up Major Patton or
the phone and told him of the inter
view ! had had with the reporter some
days before, and that while 1 had ex-
expressed by Senator Hartman, I haG
not used the language which con
sidered offensive, and asked him 20 SC
state to the board
Candor and common fairness com,
pei me to say that during the six
years of my memb ership on the board
never heard one word of adverse
criticism of your professional skill O,
attention to duty. and the fact thai
the fun board repea teddy appeared be.
fore the various legislative committee.
and urged an increase In your salary
because of your zeal and efficiency
ought to be convincing evidence. Per.
sonally | regard Your removal as un.
fortunate for the inmates, and in the
nature OF public calamity. You are

way that you may sse ft
