Memphis and Its Commission.

Having experienced one year and
eight months of the commission form
of government, the citizens of Memphis
are congratulating themselves that the
tax rate for the current year is the
lowest in the history of their city.
The record of accomplishment by the
commission system is not confined to
lower taxes. Much has been done in
the way of civic improvement, and de-
spite the fact that all of the newspapers
in the city were arrayed in opposition.
in spite of the antagonism of the large
corporations, the system was retained
by an overwhelming vote at the recent
municipal election.
The benefits to the city have been
convincingly set forth in an elaborate
pamphlet 1t is an interesting and val
liable contribution to civic literature,
and shows that the Memphis people
have acted wisely in taking their city
government out of the hands of pro-
fessional politicians whose acts and mo-
tives are not always purely unselhsh.

A Question of Government Aid.

Representative Underwood has de-
clared in favor of Federal aid for the
construction of good roads, and he
bases his position upon the authority
vested in the Federal government to
build post roads.
He cites the fact that one of the
very first questions agitated before the
Federal Congress was the expenditure
of large sums for the so-called national
road, and adds that if aid could be
given the transcontinental railroads
upon the theory that they are post
routes, it ought to be easy to appro-
pirate money for highways.
1t is interesting to note how quickly
opposition to the extension of Federal
power fades away when there is an
appropriation in sight And in the
opinion of Mr.. Underwood, the appro-
priation ought to be very large.

Democratic Women to Meet.

The harmony breakfast proposed by
the wives of prominent Democrats OF
the country, to be held in Washington
on Dolly Madison's birthday, is not
only 4 remarkable departure from
precedent, but has in it much to create
interest and excite favorable comment.
As announced, the mothers. wives, sis
tiers, cousins, and aunts of Democracy
are 10 assemble at breakfast in token of
a united party to which their men folks
belong. 1t is proposed that the wives
OF all the great men Of the party shall
be guests, and that when the time
comes the mothers in Democratic Israel
shall sit down together in social peace
and fraternity, as proof to the world
that all is well in the great political
party to which their sympathies are
attached.
Under present circumstances it
would be very difficult thing for Re-
publican matrons to hold a harmony
bISdhL1St- GNNSpl III SCCllOllS-COilSSTNd
tive, progressive. and Rooseveltian
But the Democratic women are in a po-
stiOn to hold such function as that
proposed, with many chances of its be-
ing a picturesque element in the CAM
paign. OF course, one of the principal
pieces Of music for the occasion will be
the famous Ozark ditty, and the ad-
dresses by the women may be expected
to equal those delivered at the famous
harmony dinner held by the chiefs of
the Democratic party in the winter.
If the mothers of Democracy do not
fall into the fault common with the
Daughters of the Revolution and kin
dred societies, and place too much
stress upon certain precedents of birth
and station, and if they do not get too
personal i'll their expression OF admira-
ton for particular candidates for the
Presidency, the breakfast may be ex-
pccted TO pass off in a wholly delight
ful manner.

NEW HERO IN THE NAVY.
Mantle of Brave Deeds seems to
Have Fallen on Murdock.


Have Fallen on Murdock.
Prom the Troy Record.
The authorities at Washington have
given out news which shows that the
United States has n decidedly aggres-
sive officer in Rear Admiral Joseph b.
Murdock, now commanding the Asiatic
station OF the United States navy. Some
weeks ago the Chinese 'revOiutionists
were in practical possession of the city
of Shanghai. With little ceremony, they
ordered all foreign shipping TO vacate
the international anchorage at Wu-Sung
near Shanghai, in the Yangtse River.
With the exception OF Admiral Muir
dock, the foreigners acceded TO the de-
msnd. The American officer told mes
sengers who brought the notice that he
would not tolerate any unnecessary inter
ference with American shipping, even to
the extent of removing il from the line
If fire Of the shore forts.
The attitude Of Admiral Murdock
caused the revolutionists to refrain from
interfering with the Americans. In all
probability the yellow people were
brought TO a realization Of the fact that
the American navy is service which
should be avoided as much as possible.
In view OF the fact that Admiral Muir
dock was in the right, he is receiving
the commendatiOn which his frmness
should call for.
