jim" WOODWARD
LOSING OUT In ATLANTA

Atlanta, Oct 3.-"Jim Woodward has
no more to do with the affairs of the
city of Atlanta than the United States
Consul to Peru" declared j. O. Coch-
ran, city executive committeeman, this
morning.
The statement is rather remarkable
in the light of the fact that the Jim
Woodward" referred to is the mayor
of Atlanta, but what Cochran says
seems to be practically true, inasmuch
as the mayor has now lost control of
both branches of city council, the COM
mon council and the aldermanic board.
Uncle Jim had hard enough row 20
hoe when council alone was against
him, but now that he can count for NJ
support from either branch, it seems
to be true that he is henceforth little
more than fgurehead in city govern
ment
This situation is bitter blow to M.
Woodward who confidently believed
that the election Monday would give
him the safe working majority he de-
sired on the aldermanic board
Although the situation is somewhat
complicated there is every indication
that Chief Beavers is if anything more
|strongly detrenched than he was before
the election.

FIRE ladies WOULD
REWARD Brave WOMAN

Atlanta. Oct. 3.-The fire department
ladies are talking about applying
for Carnegie medal for Mrs. R. E.
Murphy, heroine of the Whitehall APP
artment house fire, who carried her
tlind mother through smoke and flames
to a place of safety.
The fire gave promise of being the
most dangerous Atlanta had known in
recent years, and some fifty inmates of
the house had to flee to the street, some
in their nightclothes, some with sheets
wrapped around them.
Mrs. Murphy was the first to awake
and smell the smoke and see the fire.
Her piercing screams aroused the 9TH
er people in the building while her
Town heroic efforts saved the blind
mother who would otherwise almo st
assuredly have been lost.
About the time the tenants of the
building were fleeing half clad into the
street the fire department arrived and
soon had the blaze under control, but
not before it had done several thous.
and dollars damage.

COMMISSION PLAN FOR KANSAS

The Governor of Kansas has recon-
mended the commission plan of gov
eminent for the whole State of Kan
sas. The Governors idea would be
to do away with the Legislature of
his State altogether.
The idea is to have the Governor
and eight commissioners, and let
them be Legislature and executive.
The Governor thinks such a board
could make and unmake laws prompt
ly and to better advantage than a
two-house Legislature He suggests
that this country got the idea of an
upper and lower house from England
and the two houses represented the
Lords and the Commons. He says
we have no Lords in this country and
no use for two houses. Even in Eng
land they are talking about abolish
ing the House of Lords, as havine
He suggests that the people OF
Kansas be allowed to vote on this
proposition. This plan would have
in view the employment of experts il
State government, just on the same
theory that big corporations hire ex
| DertS to conduct their business
Many cities already have the com
mission form of government, ant
many others will vote on the PROPOSE
ton this year. No State has yet at
tempted the plan, but should Kansas
adopt the commission plan, the out
come will be watched with interes
by the entire country.

ACTION OF THE STATE COR
PORATION COMMISSION.

Judge Clements, member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, is
reported to have severely criticised
our State Corporation Commission
and to have expressed great disgust
at their failure to properly represent
the interest of the State.
Nothing is better known in North
Carolina to everybody than that this
State is most unjustly Disseminated
against, especially in the freight
rates. 1t is also as equally we'll
known that the State Corporation
Commission has done nothing to cor
rect this injustice which Is costing the
State from ten to fifteen millions of
dollars year.
The failure of the Commission to
do or attempt to do anything to cor
rect this evil has created such an out
cry of protest in the State that the
last LCS ISlI IO4 ecu " oPPSAAAa
a legislative commission to investi-
gate the determinations and try to
induce the railroads to modify their
excessive and unjust rates.
In the meantime, a number of ship
pers in the State had appealed to the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
investigate these determinations as
far as they were interstate, in their
nature, and to afford relief. When
the hearing of this matter was taken
up, some time ago, by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the attorneys
for the railroads appeared before the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
represent their side, and the State
Corporation Commission appeared, it
was supposed, to represent the side
of the people.
The railroad attorneys boldly stat
ed before the Commission that they
were not discriminating against the
State, and pointed as a proof to the
fact that there was no one protesting
against their rates and "so-called'
