MUNICIPAL SIMS COME HOME.

Nashville's unfortunate experience in com
mission government is, paradoxical as it may
seem, a strong argument in favor of such gov
eminent when rightly operated.
The New York World thus commented ON the
situation in the Tennessee city:
The commission form of government for cities,
hailed everywhere long ago certain to bring
relief from municipal extravaganza and corruption,
has broken down in Nashville, Tenn, which is now,
by action of the state chancellor, in the hands of
receiver. Under the old charter system such
action could have been taken.
Even states where the commission has been
adopted, relief from wrong-doing is to be had in
most only by means OF the recall. Tennessee
has an custer act under which a single Judge is
authorized a city government and estab-
.lsh in its place. Nashville has deyel-
oped than its share of delinquents in munich
pal service, but 1t remains to be proved whether
judicial correction is any certain in its results
than the old-fashioned housekeeping that
dained at the polls.
What the World says is true. Further, the
election of careful, prudent and competent Off
cials would have kept Nashville from its hui
initiating plight. Under commission govern
ment sins of administrative omission or COM
mission come home more unerringly, more
sharply, perhaps more disastrously, than under
the older forms. Power is concentrated in the
hands of a few men and they must be good men.
American cities are coming to find out that
their officials have to put into the public bust
ness the same qualities of zeal and persistence
that they would put into private business, or
the public business will fail as does the private

genuine interest in its defense to dis

At time when progressives of all

of despotic privilege with a cry to

WHAT GIVES STEAM ITS POWER

ton, which, in other words is: What

to mankind.
We suggest to "H. F." and others
that considerable benefit may be de-
rived from reading the life and deeds

Steam is water-vapor - water in

to expand. It's this expansive power
of steam, when under pressure, that

wAsHINGToN, July ga 49, President

accepted the resignation of James NJ.

This announcement has been expected
for two months. ever since Senator
Phelan of California completed his In

lister sullivan's official conduct and fit
ness for office.

cred more thar two months, during
which he held public hearings in New
York, Washington and Saito Domingo.
II was understood that the Senator
reached the conclusion, and so reported
to ,x-Secretary Bryan. that while he
found the Minister guilty OF no official
wrongdoing, he Mas "tenperamentally
unfit for his diplomatic post.
Two weeks ago the Minister returned
to the United states, had "A brief inter-
view with Secretary Lansing and "A few
days later sailed for Ireland.
The inquiry into Minister sullivan's
conduct brought up in great detail all
the political and financial events IN

II was alleged in the hearings that Sulli-
van had secured his post through po-
litical influence brought to bear IN the
interests of Americans interested in the
Bancu Nacional in Santo Domingo city
and others having a financial interest IN
the little republic.
The appointment of Minister sullivan
has for two years been held up as an
example of the manner In which the

SPLITS UP
NEBRASKA PLACES
Names Two Bryan Men and
Two of HitchcOck's in
Patronage Fight.

WASHINGTON. July 23.-rresident WIZ
son made four appointments for the
state of Nebraska to-day In settlement
OF long standing controversies over pat
ronage.
Two OF the a~ppointeee were friends OF
ex-secretary Bryan and two were
backed by Senator Hitchcock. There
had been strife between the Bryan and
Hitchcock factions ever since the oihces
became vacant. Senator Hitchcock was
inclined TO stand on what he believed
10 be his prerogauve to make recon-
%mendations for the district offices. being
the only Democratic Senator. Ordinarily
he would have had all of the argument,
but he showed much independence IN
Congress resisting many OF the Presi-
dents plans.
After Mr.. Bryan resigned and rumor
was current hat he would &C to Neo-
raska and enter the race against Hitch
cock for the Senate, the question OF who
should control the Nebraska patronage
again became acute. Apparently the
President mas decided to straddie the
patronage fence.
No statement was made At the White
House to-day in connection with the an
nouncement Of the appointments. But
il is known from the long fight that
has been waged over the plums and the
wide notoriety given to the case. that
Mr.. Bryan obtained W places and the

law of Mr.. Bryan. and George l., LOOMS
