. IiAST NIGHTS MASS MEETING
As a result of last night', action relative to commission form of Gov
ernment for Ashevllle, taken by a mass meeting of representative cltlxena
of the city, and especltlly for the spirit In which that action was taken,
wo feel more deeply grateful than at any time since the beginning of a
campaign here looking to a change in the system of municipal govern
ment. The call for the mass meeting, as well as the manner In which
the call w as issued, followed exactly the suggestions submitted editorially
in The Gazette-New. last Monday afternoon. But the Important feature
in our mind is that the oft repeated plea for harmony in this paper was
granted last night in the fullest measure. ,
" We believe that Jast night's gathering was truly a revelation to many.
It was a gathering that included men of all politlcaj faiths. as well as
men engaged in practically every line of business and professional en
deavor. It was a repljca, If we may borrow a word from the world of art, of
Ashevllle's citizenship; anil during the entire session there was not a sin-v
glo dissenting voice upon the main issue. The sense of the meeting was
unanimous for a commission form of government for this city; and it is
such a sentiment that will be conveyed to Buncombe's legislators in Ra
leigh. There was no quibbling; no 111 feeling. The men were there in
a common cause, and they proceeded, under the straightforward guidance
of Judge'. Henry B. Stevens, Hhe.presiding officer, to attain the end sought
in the most practical manner possible. -
It was evident to all present that Asheville people want a new form
of government, and tnat new form is a commission. - Nothing else was
necessary to know at that gathering except the best method of securing It.
We commend the action taken tn the appointment of a central commit
tee by the presidents of four of the leading organizations here, the Board
of Trade, Merchants' association, Central Labor union and University club,
for the committee now Is representative of all four and, by the same to
ken, representative or practically every citizen and taxpayer of the city.
Aside from this, the personnel of that committee is of the highest charac
ter. There is not a man in Asheville. we believe, who would dare to say
that these men would submit any charter that would be beneficial to a
'few to the detriment of the many. They are men who have the best int
erests of Asheville at heart; and the citizenship may be sure that their
work will be conscientious and thorough. .
Now it is simply to be remembered that the committee Is Asheville's

friendship. She is engaged: in n su-
preme 'struggle for her own imperial
life. She will take advantage ot every
legitimate means of crlppUnff the
enemy, and In dealing with neutral
nations she will push to the limit her
own notion of what constitutes leKit
Imiite trade.
For this we need hold no ill will
igulnst Great Itritain. . In her place
we' should probably do as she is ilo
int'.. and stretch the International law
stnd practice regarding contraband
and search and seizure almost to the
breaking point. -
In the pursuance of our own In
terests, however, we must watch
Britain closely, as one litigant watches
another. Knowinp, that she will make
the contraband list as broad as possi
ble, we must aim to reduce that list.
Knowing that she will suspect all
cargoes of Including contraband, we
must be so open and honorable as to
keep legitimate shipments above sus
picion. Knowing that she believes
war materials sold to Italy or Scandi
navia are destined for Germany or
Austria, we must convince her that
they are not. We must fipht every ef
fort to restrict our commerce, direct
ly or indirectly, but we must fight
without animosity. We do not have to
court house next Friday night to hear their committee report. They should
go there, too, with n open 'and unbiased mind to consider in the light
of reason the provisions made in the proposed charter. If they like
provisions they should support them, individually and collectively. If they
do not like them, they should argue the matter on a broad basis. It will
be a time for personalities to be eliminated. Asheville people want a
commission government. That point is settled. It is therefore up to every
individual citizen to lend his aid in bringing about the desired change.
If the proposed charter is not just to his liking in one particular, or many
particulars for that matter, he should. not raise a dissenting voice after
the majority has said that the charter is acceptable. The main point Is
to submit to the legislators a commission chnrter, even If It has to be a
compromise meoyre. 'and then let all the people vote their wishes.
And again we register our plea, which seems more in order now than
ever before, let the watchword be "Harmony." ;
Daddy s Bedtime
Story-
THE BRAVE BROWN
SPARROWS IN WINTER
"You know," said daddy, "I saw b ich a strange thing today in the
city."
"Tell us about it," said Jack.
"What was it?" asked Evelyn, who was always interested in whatever
daddy had to say.
"Weil," continued daddy, "In a tree in the park lots and lots of little
sparrows were roosting. It was, of course, a perfectly bare tree without a
rail at John Bull or punch his nse; i,ea( on )t aml tn(,y VVere huiaiea together, keeping each other warm.

PICTURES, OF BATTLES.
Warfare Ha. Always Been a Popular
8ubjot For Arti.ta.
From Um earliest day. of history war
ha given Inspiration to the artist, and
th work ef hia hand. tome, down to
tu on the wall, of ancient Egypt worn
with the pussing ot thousand, of
yean; from he ruined temple, of an
tique Greece, built centnrles before too
Christian era. The picture writing of
primitive and savage peoples describes
exploit, of war; many archaic war
jrictorea, broonht to view after age. of
burial under deaert sanda, bear much
similarity to Indian drawings of our
wn near time and land.
Once year, ago, away up on the
Poplar river, in Montana, I bought
bartered for, I .oppose I should say,
as the purchase waa made mainly by
the medium of tea, tobacco and sugar
a "painted robe right off the back of
the war chief of a band of Tanktonnals-
Slonx our troops had rounded up"
and brought into the agency. The skin
waa a fine "black bnll," tanned on the
underside to tbe sbftness of the finest
chamois leather and decorated with
naive pictorial representations ot tbe
deeds of war of old Kill-Them-In-a-Hole
as tbe soldiers trawls. ted the name
given tbe chief from some episode In
bis murderous career which In color,
In grace and firmness pf line were cu
riously like pictures from tbe pencil of
some artist of the Egypt of old.
Tbe glory of war Is the theme; the
exaltation of the sovereign, the con-
qneror, form, the chief motive of the
war picture ot antiquity. The monarch
was tbe hero before wboee terrible
sword all foes gave way, to whom vic
tory came through his personal might
and prowess. The warriors of the
Greeks are shown as models of virile
strength and grace; their attitudes In
the fury of combat lost nothing of
artistic beauty in the realism of the
rendering, Tbe Influence of the Greek
masters ot their art is evident In battle

centuries later. Rnfus Falrchtld Zog-

1 watched them for quite a time. There was one sparrow who looked
th leader. He did most of the chirping and was apparently telling all the
others what they must do and giving all sorts of directions. He chirped
almost constantly for ten minutes, and then he flew down from the tree
and hopped alons the ground. He picked up crumb after crumb, and then
when he had as many as he could curry in his beak he flew up In the
lice nguin ari l left them on d branch where there was a kind of hole in
which to put them. lie was evidently showing all the other birds Just whut
to do, for in a minute or two any number of thtm flew down to the ground
and began to piclt up crumbs. -
"it wus wonderful to see how many they could find, for I myself could
hardly see any, und all the time he kept chirping to the other, and telling
them whut to do.
"This kept up for some time, for the birds would fly back and forth,
just picking up Koodies and then putting them up in the tree. Meantime a
lot of other birds who had stayed up in the tree were fixing them on the
branch and dividing them evenly."
"Didn't they eat any of them?" asked Evelyn.
"Yes. After quite iiwhlle thry all flew back to the tree airaln, and once
more they huddled together and had the most marvelous meal. You see, it
was their dinner time, and they all hud it together at the same time to
make it more sociable. From all the cries of Joy and the noise I fancy they
wero having a pretty good time of it and enjoying themselves Immensely.
In fact, 1 think they almost forgot how cold It was."
"I think It', wonderful," said Evelyn, "how well the bird, can look
after themselves, for it must be pretty hard uometimes, especially In the
winter." t f
"Yr." .aid daddy, "it Is, but these birds seemed o happy together and
to be having such a good time. After dinner waa over they all chased each
other from one tree to another In the park and played tag and had a beau
tiful time. 8o I think really birds and animal, are .mart and brave to be
able to look after themselves and their little one. so well."
