Speaks for Delegation.

But the worst offended persons in
Memphis Tuesday were not the men,
bers of the citizens committee, but
the members of the legislative delega-
ton. The~cause fop their feeling, eX-
pressed by some in quaint and undiplo-
matte language, was that part of the
Nashville dispatch which said
while at the capitol, it was learned
from some of them that the unit rule
adopted some time ago by the Shelby
county delegation to the general assem-
bly, had been ahrogated or would be
abrogated, and that, at any rate, It
would not govern either in the organi-
zation of the legislature or on any ques-
ton that may come up during the ses-
sion"
So far as could be learned the mayor
was authorized to speak for no one ex-
cept Representative Joe Hanover, OF
Binghamton, whom the mayor person
ally named on, the ticket in the Novem-
Der election.
After all there was a good deal more
merriment than resentment expressed
over the mayors cunning little bird
hunting expedition, with three tow
sacks to hiring back the game" The
manner in which the advocates of
7-cent street car fare and increased
price for gas are warming up to the
support of the mayor and opposing the
city manager plan, of which they
formerly we're the chief advocates, is
suggestive.
Nobody was the least alarmed over
the mayors visit to Nashville. Gov.
Roberts knows who his friends in Mem
phis are, and besides he is not likely
to take part in local legislation. even

Items OF II, the items would be worth
less unless maintained by permanent
concert of power. he implied, Of course,
the construction of q league OF nations,
His speech has obtained widespread
approval, and when Premier Lloyd
George told the American correspond
ents In a voice carrying conviction that
an agreement had been reached In re-
this point, stressed by Mr. Wilson since
hts departure from America, unques-
tionably had been won.
The prime minister, his cabinet and
Mr. Wilson have caRvassed the ground
pretty thoroughly, but have not OF
course, gone into the details. Admit :
tedly the greatest task before the peace
conference Is the application OF details
10 square with general principles. nui
tangible progress can be recorded when
