on the demurrer, LII short which has been presented here as law question, and to determine whether temporary writ of prohibition shall be made permanent"
 Judge Gotham here called atten- tion to the fact that the county court has exclusive and original iurisdic- tion in the matter of passing local matters. The demurrer had set rp five reasons why the writ should be granted.
 Judge Gotham stated that the req son set up as 70 the Illegal publica tion of the petition was not ground for a writ of prohibition. It should properly be the subject for demur Ter.
 The point that the published list of the petitioners was not a copy of She petition as it had been filed ;n the county court was not sufficient ly established. The point was a mat ter for proof in the county court. ana a demurrer might follow that action but the point was not sufficient foi writ of prohibition.
 The point that the petitions had been signed and circulated previous to the Going law being effective Judge Gotham said, was a matter oI proof for the county court to be guid ed by Some names had evidently been signed on December 3t, and While some might have been much prior to this date, the whole of this subject matter was for proof in the county court, that court having iuris diction as to these names. and the point not calling for decision in the circuit court.
 On the allegation that no affidavit as required by law had been signed to the publication, the law says if must be attached when filed. and that matter was also one for proof in .he county court.

Cities Must Think and Feel.

Memphis, Jan. 15.-C'ltizens of the present day should in their hearts take the oath sworn by the Athenian youths when they were admitted to the army, advised James Keeley, gen. eral manager of the Chicago Tribune, in his address here tonight at the Prosperity Dinner"
 "We will never bring disgrace to this, our city, by any act of dishon- esty or cowardice. We will fight for the ideals and the sacred things of the city That oath was taken by ev- cry soldier of ancient Greece and why not make it the rallying cry of every man in every city today?
 "Cities must think and feel as cit ies," said MT. Keeley When this awakening comes development comes along the lines of personal character. Most European cities have been in much better position to begin their work than havc American cities. They have been free to do what seems wisest instead of being tied down by ancient village charters and state laws passed when great cities were not dreamed of.
 "In these cities the city usefui' idea comes first, and the city beautiful second. Some of them are very beau tiful. but first they have provided for their commerce.
 Thirty million aliens have been poured into this country by the tide of immigration. The inrushing popu- lation has raised the price of land, In the cities the slums have developed with germ diseases, sweatshops, phy- sical and moral degenerates, and all the menace to society filthy humans warrant. Personal discomfort bred discontment and that in turn foment- ed agitation, and peace and prosperity flee before the agitator.
 "It was when these truths began to force themselves on the thinking men of the country that they began to awaken to the fact that each man had some obligation to his brother Some call this spirit sociai justice Ii is that, but it is more: 1t is good horse sense and good business lRreaking down class feeling, based on mutual ignorance. is difficult piece of work. but it is being done and the lob is paying handsome dividends MY Keeley told of the libraries and

 Speaking of the proposed bath tax
 he said that this merited considera
 ton. It is done elsewhere. and should
 be done here if it is necessary to the
 proper maintenance of the resort
 You probably would like to ask me
 what have done" said Senator Clarke. q have talked for Hot Springs at every opportunity. I have endeavored to secure everything you have asked. One trouble is that you have not asked enough. The people who have been making demands are the people who have been getting the lions share. Hot Springs is just coming into it's own. It is just reach ing that point where it will press it's demand, and where that demand will get the recognition that it merits.
 "Others will say probably" said Senator Clarke, why don't you get that 2x4 Republican superintendent out of the superintendent's office and put a Democrat in there They will say that an Arkansas Republican was busted and that d Minnesota Repub- lican was put in his stead. That is not our responsibility.
 We had a Democrat appointed for the place regardless of the fact that it is not an appointment that comes under our approval in the senate The responsibility of Republican in the office rests with him. He was not satisfied with the salary and instead of taking the matter up with us, he took it up directly with the depart ment of the interior and the head of that department accepted the com plaint as to salary as a resignation, and sent to Hot Springs Capt. Trow- Hi lNSts Whb ID Wbl tAiS1 anu HdP tll' absolute confidence of the department that he has served for more than twenty years"
 @He was given the place temporar- fly. I understand that when the sec retaTy of the intereior gets to the matter he will take up the appoint ment of a Democrat in the place. not that the Republican might not serve as well. but | want the secretary to do whatever the peopie here think ought to be done.
 "We Democrats have really been in congress but six months. 'rhe-foF. mer service was rather like going to d training school"
 In closing Senator Clarke paid a splendid compliment to the interest the audience manifested in their To- cal affairs, and stated that when Hot Springs appropriation came up the next time he felt very certain they would not meet the obstruction en- countered in previous efforts He did not make any political comment, his only hint in this line being that he would try his best for the people, and that certainly no other could do more.

HIGHER FREIGHT RATES.
Advocated by National Business Mems

 Here then is the real community of interest, " he declared. We have heard lot of it in business but all too little of it in communities. The communities of interest would be the city in which all the people know each other and believe in each other; the city of a common brotherhood, of a united purpose"
 MT. Keeley then quoted in full the oath which he said was taken by the boys of Athens when they were admit ted to the army:
 We will never bring disgrace to this, our city, by any act of dishon- esty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suffering comrades in the ranks. We will fight for the ideals and the sa- cred things of our city, both alone and with many. We will revere and obey the city's laws and do our best to incite ike respect and reverence in. those above us who are disposed to annul them or set them at naught. We will strive increasingly to quicken the public sense of civic duty. Thus, in all these ways, we will transmit this city not only net less but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us
 Make this the rallying cry of the city of today and tomorrow" said MT. Keeley.
