WASHINGTON
LETTER
B, RALPH WHITESIDE.
Washington. Nov. 22.— The liveliest
question In Washington Just now Is
that of a change In the District's form
of government. As everybody prob-
ably well knows affairs are admin-
istered now by a commission of three
men appointed by tbe president, one
of whom must be an army engineer.
Tbe question of a change originated
with one of our papers, although It
baa always been with us more less.
This paper bolds the present form
lacks In concentration and efficiency,
that public matters are delayed by
reason of having three beads, and that
the whole plan la Inherently weak and
has long been outgrown by the city.
There Is undoubtedly a growing
opinion that a concentration of author-
ity In the District government would
simplify the municipal situation and
produce b^Aer results. The commis-
sion plan mas its good features. It
has long been held up aa a model,
Ideally suited to the needs of the Dis-
trict of Columbia, where suffrage is
denied. Rut frequent and repeated
contention and bickering among the
members of the board have served to
create more or less general criticism
of the commission plan, and thus give
the propaganda for a change some
momentum. With the commissioners
obviously working at cross purposes
and airing their differences, and sub-
ordinate district officials following
this example by engaging in noisy
controversies, it Is a logical sequence
that tbe present form of government
should gradually be somewhat under-
mined.
Many substantial citizens and large
taxpayers are oonvlnced that a one-
headed government would work more
smoothly and satisfactory. This Is
no new conviction on their part. It
has been emphasised by recent ex-
hibitions of division In the present
triumvirate, It is true, but the advis-
ability of concentrated authority has
appealed to them for years.
These citlxens however, who honest-
ly believe In the wisdom of a change
for the public good see great danger
in going before congress and asking
for a change at this time. If by sim-
ple act one commissioner or governor
could be substituted for the triumvi-
rate, they would urge It earnestly and
heartily. But they fear the proposi-
tion would mean the owning up of
the whole question of the relations
between the district and federal gov-
ernment, with a possible alteration
of the organic act and perchance the
granting of unrestricted suffrage
Belter suffer the ills we have. thSy
'argue, than invite Ilia we konw not
of. especially as the Ills we now have,
though vexatious, impose no heavy
burdens and involve no maladministra-
tion. In other words, they are re-
luctant to take the chance of jumping
from the frying pan into the Are, If
the present form of government makes
for discord which is freely admitted
It has, at any rate, not resulted In
graft and corruption of affair* here—
often clumsy and slow, and unsatis-
factory—nevertheless has been almost
uniformly free from scandal, save In
minor places. The Integrity of the
commissioners themselves has never
been brought Into gueiuion.

flinchingly he stood by his post of

when the Union tore*# dlsoorsred

and the lad, wearing white glove# and
neatly pressed suit, walked off the

'Washington society is gradually re-
turning 10 Its winter abiding places.
In spile of I be fact that the members
of the household of the president sre
established in the White House for the
season, it seems as (bough the mem-
bers of smart circles here were losth
to return to the scenes of the official
gayety of the seasons. There have
been, however, a number of distin-
guished residents, who have enter-
tained their guests as elaborately as
It is possible thus early in ibe season.
Tbe British ambassador to Italy and
Ijuty Rodd. who made such a pleasant
visit with their old friends, the Post-
master General and Mrs. Meyer, have
gone on their Journey toward the am-
bassador's new post. Sir Benneil Rodd
was first secretary of the British em-
bassy In Rome when the postmaster
general was United States Ambassa-
dor. and they-became warm friends
at that time. Sir Rennell and Lady
Rodd have been In Toklo since then,
and are now enjoying an Interesting
vacation before u-turning to the scene
of their former post with a well-earned
promotion.
By the end of this month all the em-
bassies will be open except the Ger-
man, which as yet, has no ambassa-
dor to succeed the late Baron von
Sternberg. The widowed baroness
haa been at the embassy for a few
weeks and It was a pretty compliment
the president paid her when he walked
from the Unitarian Church with Mr.
Taft, and stopped at tbe embassy to
pay his respects to the widow of his
old friend. It was a compliment quite
out of the ordinary.

Mrs. Geo. Call, corresponding
rotary of the Woman's Home Mission
Society, has Just returned from Gal-
veston, where she has been attending
a meeting of the society, an accouat
of which appears In the Galveston
News as follows:
A number of prominent officers of
the Methodist Home Mission Board
were In the city yesterday to discuss
tbe extension of the Immigration work
being done by the Methodists at this
port. Miss Belle H. Bennett of Rich-
mond, Ky., the president of woman’s
board of the Woman's Home Mission-
ary Society of the Southern Methodist
church, la one of the number. Two
others are Mrs. R. W. MacDonell of
Nashville, Tenn., the general secretary
of the Woman's Board of Home Mis-
sions of the Methodist church, and
Mrs. George Call of Orange, Texas,
the conference secretary of tbe Wom-
an’s Home Mission Society of Texas.
Dr. John R. Nelson of Nashville, Tenn.,
is here on the same mission, and Is
the treasurer of the general board.
'Miss Adeline Peeples, a deaconess,
graduate of tbe Epworth Institute of
St. Louis, accompanied the ladles
above mentioned, and aa It ban been
planned, will take up tbe work at this
port. Deaconess Peeples will take up
the work at tbe Immigrant Home at
once.
A meeting of the above members of
the mission board was held at the
Tremont Hotel. At the meeting. Rev.
W. J. Johnson of tbe First Methodist
church of this city was also present.
It is understood that the work of
tbe mission board at this port was
discussed, and that certain plans were
thought of and suggested, which, be-
fore they can be adopted, must first
pass through the hands of the mis-
sion board at the headquarters in
Nashville, Tenn. It was stated that
tbe work of the board at Oalveston
has been wholly satisfactory, and so
promising that tbe good tvuse is to
be extended still further. Under the
direction of Dr. Brockman, who is In
charge of the work in the Immigrant
Home, wonderful Improvement and
progress have been made. Everything
has been carried out to the letter at
the home, and Dr. Brockman can not
be too highly recommended for bis tin
tiring hospitality to tbe guests and
for his work in the business end of
the Institution.
Tbe citlxens of Galveston should be-
come interested in the good cause, for
it is a great help and benefit to the
city. Tbe board has been fortunate
In having funds on hand to be able
to carry on the work. A sum amount-
ing to about (8,000 has been laid aside
for the cause already and a much larg-
er sum has been raised in the north-
ern part of the state for the same pur-
pose. It is the object of those mem-
bers of the mission here to be able
to make a full report of the work at
the port .and to show with what suc-
cess It is meeting, in order that the
work In this city may be extended
It la the hope of many that new de-
partments may be added to the home,
and among these probably a depart-
ment Including the holding of religious
services In the home, and U has been
said that Deaconess Peeples would be
put in charge of that part of the work.
But as yet It seems that Juat what
the nature of the work that Miss Pee-
ples wlU UMkl charge of at present
has noi been fully decided upon as
yet.
About *60 Immigrants are expected
on the steamer Chemnttx, which will
arrive at -this port today, and the
ladies of the board are remaining in
the city for the purpose of viewing
all the different phases of the work,
so they can more readily understand
where Improvement could be made and
see tor themselves how the work Is
handled. Prom Houston today will
come Deaconesses Mrs. Carr, Miss
Taylor and Miss Mattie Wright; also
with them will be Mr*. George Sexton,
who will probably vloit the home tar
the same purpose of seeing how the
work Is done.
Ttye lady officers of the board, after
their vlait hero, will go to New Or-
leans to see about establishing a home
at that port similar to the one here.—
