GOOD WORK BY GOOD MEN

All of the federal managers and re- regional district was in charge of Ben ing under the government will be dis charged on March l. The highest of ficial working under the government in Memphis is Col A. H. Eagan. This reginal district was in charge of Ben T. Winchell. Mr. Winchell had his headquarters in Atlanta.
 The government placed Charles H. Markham, president of the Illinois Central Railway, in charge of the Pennsylvania district Mir. Markham had a fearful glut on his lines, but finally fought his way to daylight. A few months ago when he gave up the work his completed record was such as to win commendation of Mir. Hines. What he did was a source of qualification to his friends.
 B. F. Bush had charge of the re- zion west of the Mississippi River. Mir. Bush goes back to the Missouri Pacific.
 Alex Raborn was the chief opera ting official of the Missouri Pacific and the Cotton Belt.
 . Mir. Gorham operated the Rock Is- land; Mir. Kittle, the Illinois Central. MT. Maypother, the Louisville & Nashville and the Nashville, Chatta- nooga & St. Louis; MT. Coapman, the Southern and MT. Pyeatt, the Frisco.
 These men all deserve the thanks of the people in their regions. We of Memphis are peculiarly indebted tn Mir. Winchell He did everything possible to bring about workable con- ditions. He was patient, considerate and tactful.
 In the Memphis territory our ex- perience with federal operating off, cials was pleasant. It would be un- fair to close this statement without referring to the men in the local of fees. They did not get the big head and they did not lose that courtesy which was characteristic of them in the old days of ownership and private competition.
 We have had experiences in consoli- dated ticket offices it St. Louis, Louisville Chicago, Washington. New York and Atlanta. The most efficient consolidated office of all of them was that located in the city of Memphis. The men knew when to cut red tape and never forgot that the passengers were their cash customers.-C0m- mercial Appeal.

WOMAN KNEW MANLY ART
Caught Officer on Jaw When He
 Sought Her Arrest

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 23.-When Deputy Sheriff Row Brown saw ( wqlIan he believed to be Clara Hillon of Chicago, who officers had been re- quested to take into custody, he had TO idea Clara knew anything about the manly art of self-defense. She at first denied she was the woman wanted. Arguments failing, she took Q swing at the officer, landed on his jaw and started to run. She was cas- fly caught, but a male friend of the woman intervened. The latter had 8 narrow escape from getting a "six- shooter" on his head and decided to let the law take its course. Deputy Brown placed the woman in his auto mobile and took her to the county jail. A report was circulated through out the city that a woman had been kidnapped off Central Avenue, the city's principal thoroughfare. The woman will not admit she is the per son wanted for jumping bond ana on a charge of grand larceny. She stated she would resist extradition

THE CHRISTOPHER

Scientists tell us that when a grass hopper catapults his corporate self into space by the propulsige powe. of his hinged hopping poles he has no idea where he is going to light IL may be in the lake or in the brush fire or the kerosene can or the pansy bed; 1t is all the same to him. Examine his countenance. He looks the per feet fool. At the top of his head two bulging eyes as expressive as the eye of dead carp; and below this nose like a wooden ploughshare. This is all. There is no forehead, no brain and no room for one. The grasshop per, we find, is an insect idiot The best he ever did was to keep out iron under the foot of his betters.

.MR WILSON STILL PRESIDENT

Passing by the high qualities which
 pe eovet for the president, there are so1'e abilities that are indispensable.
 Without them he would be unable to discharge the duties of his office. He mug. be able to follow intelIigently, even if he cannot forcefully direct, the public business. He must be able to siCn or veto acts of Congress. It is necessary that he read and pass upon q. least a minimum of public docu- nts-eommissions, pardons, orders. JB short, the executive must be able to to a certain amount of executive work. We are not speaking, natur- ally, of a sudden onset of disease, or of such a lowering between life and death as that of Garfield in 1881. Then all rules are suspended. But the case now troubling the nation Is one of very slow recovery and extend ed invalidisn. This is what makes pertinent the inquiry concerning the irreducible minimum of executive ca pacity. And when we look narrowly at that, there is no evidence that President Wilson, though obviously still a sick man, does not possess it in sufficient degree. He is partially disabled by persistent illness, but not to the point where the question of constitutional disability ought to te raised. Broken health has left us for the time being with a broken president; but he president still.

Piano Tuning and Repairing

The proper time to have your piano tuned is whenever it needs tuning.
 The manufacturers of all high grade pianos recommend tuning them every six months. It is ab- solutely necessary to have your piano tuned at least once year, if it retains its good tone qualities. All kinds of repairing of players etc. have had fifteen years of practical experience in this busi- ness.
