Springfeld'S Standing.

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found full and complete statement
of the financial condition of the city
of Springfield. This statement re-
veals the fact that the three City
Commissioners are giving the town
an able administration. At the time
these gentlemen took over the reigns
of government, the town was badly
involved and no relief was in sight.
The new Commissioners at once
adopted the most rigid enconomic
policy possible without regarding the
growth of the town or doing injury
to any branch of the city govern
ment and so we'll have they guided
the affairs of the city that the obi
cations of the city have been lowered
and some improvements made dur
ing their short incumbency.
The city's financial condition is
good. A town with assets amount
ing to $500, 00O.0 and with liabilities
of only $54, 100. 90 is in tip-top shape.
There is not better differed town
in the United States than Springfield.
The three Commission are all men of
the highest integrity and stand as
the equals of any like number of
men, anywhere, in business ability.
If they can be prevailed upon to con-
tinue at the head of affairs for few
more years this town will make for
ward strides that will place her in
the front ranks of Tennessee mum
cipalities.
| Mr.. Chas. E. Bell, who is Mayor
under the Commission Government,
lis also Treasurer of the city. He is
a man who does everything by sys-
tem-no slipshod policy enters into
any duty that devolves upon him and
in keeping the finances of the town
he has evolved a system of book
keeping that is unsurpassed.
Every cent that is received or paid
out is shown in a way that no mis-
take or graft could possible go un-
noticed. His books show each item
of revenue received, from whom and
when; each item paid out, to whom
and when. His books are perfect
and from them any citizen can re-
ceive any information he desires
from the time the Commission Gov
eminent was adopted to date, in the
space of a few minutes. Each war
rant paid by the city is numbered
and for what it was issued stated in
the great record book kept by Mr..
Bell; then these warrants are filed in
a manner that any particu ar war
rant desired can be reached without
trouble or delay. In fact the system
employed by Mr.. Bell is so complete
that it cannot be appreciated with
out one seeing it for himself. We

WOULD CUT DOWN
Litigation In Circuit Courts
Should Bill Become a Law.

In some Judicial districts of the
State. if not all, under the present
jurisdiction of Quarterly Courts, the
Circuit Judges are overworked,
scarcely ever being able to handle
their dockets as they should be.
While Judge Hanbery, for instance,
dispatches business with more than
ordinary expedition, he is one of the
hardest worked men on the bench in
the State. We believe that he does
not have the time he should have,
often being forced to consider a per-
picking case during hours that should
be given to rest and not to consult
ing authorities on legal points. This
is said in the face of the fact that
his judgments have been upheld by
the Court of Appeals, probably, in
a larger proportion of cases than any
present Judge in Kentucky.
Circuit Judges are paid a fixed sal
airy. Judges of Quarterly Courts,
receive salaries from the county, but
the emoluments of their Offices go
very far toward increasing their
bank accounts, but a rush of bust
ness piled on to the shoulders of the
Circuit Judges gives them more work
without corresponding remunera-
ton.
A bill was introduced in the Lower
House of the Kentucky Leg ature
last Monday, which, if it should be-
come law, would not only tighten
the work of the Circuit Judges, but
would also increase the emoluments
of the Quarterly Court Judges. The
bill provides for increasing the ju-
risdiction of Quarterly Courts to $500.
OF course the judges of both classes
will not be unfavorable to the enact
ment of the bill into law. for both
will be benefited by it. The assump-
ton that litigants themselves, for
many reasons, one of which is securing
a more speedy trial, would general
ly be pleased to have the bill become
law.
If eventually it should be found
that the Quarterly Judges should
have more than they could de-
which is most improbable the jI=
risdiction of Justices of the Peace
could be increased, and thus tighten
the burden of the Judges of the
Quarterly Courts. And no doubt
the Magistrates would be glad to
have their emoluments increased?
The bill mentioned, viewed from
any standpoint, would no doubt be a
good thing for everybody, Circuit
and Quarterly Judges, Justices Of
the Peace and all that have to settle
matters before a tribunal. The bill
should become law and we can see
no reason for any Of the law makers
not voting for it when it comes up
for action.

when Christie was 23 years old
he asked a girl TO marry him. One
OF the things contingent upon a ques.
ton like that In his mind was a place
in which TO live after the ceremony
was over.
"Ile had little money somewhere
around two hundred and fifty dollars,
which he had saved since he left high
school. With the two hundred and
fifty dollars he decided to buy a lot,
and build a house himself. lie had
not learned the builders trade and
had never constructed so much as a
dog house.
The lot he wanted he secured by
paying one hundred dollars down. II
was out in the country, and there

SIX LADIES RUNNING
IN THE TRIP CONTEST

To date six ladies' have entered the
competition for the honor OF repre-.
senting The Eagle and the city of
Bryan at the great exposition at San
Francisco next summer
While only six have come to the
office and signed formal entry
blank, II is believed that there are
large number OF ladies' who would be
pleased to receive this honor and who
are quietly lining up their friends
with a view OF entering the contest
later.
The obvious disadvantage OF this
plan Is that one needs all the sup
port that one can get and It won't
do to be too reticent. Then, too,
nominations may be declared closed
by agreement and those who have at
that time failed to signed the entry
agreement will not get the benefit Of
votes which they have accumulated.
This contest has a number OF new
features which places It in class
by Itself. There is no publicity given
to the standing Of the various candl.

then only the name OF the successful

OF the contest Is the absolute fairness
