Who Shall Decide 1t.
From the Tullahoma Guardian.l

The whole question of the State debt
may be summed up in q few words
either the State owes it or she does not
If she owes it the best way 10 pay it is
to PAY IT. If it is Il just debt, every
dollar, interest and principal, should be
paid. If it is not an honest debt, it
should be rcpudiatcd. What is the use
Of talking about payment or non-pay-
ment until this point is settled or com
promise agreed upon? The creditors
claim that we owe it, and exhibit as ev-
idence our obligation made out in due
form. Some Of us, while acknowledging
the gcnuincncss Of the obligation as to
form, signature, &c., contend that Il
part Of it, at least, is void for want Of
consideration, for fraud and for various
and sundry other reasons.
Now, how are we to determine the
question as to what proportion Of it is
void and what validY Does our mere
say 50, in the face of the documents,
givo the case in our favor? Certainly
there is no rule Of law or equity that
will allow the ipse DIRT of one party, UNI
sustained by proof Of any kind, to stand
against positive evidence and the rec
ords Oh, but we say there was fraud.
Our Governors and Legislatures had no
right to contract these obligations
there was no authority for 1t, and we
arc not bound by their action. Very

puted. How shall the question between
us be settled? When the bondhollel

We agree with the Pulaski citizen in
the following: at is an insult to
Judges Turncy, Mcfarland and Free
man to compliment them upon their de-
cision of the 1908. If they decided ac-
cording to law, they simply did their
sworn duty. To compliment them per-
sonally implies that they manipulated
the law to suit the case and ignored all
other issues and ideas, Abordinating ev-
fcrything to a mighty effort to please the
people, right or wrong. DO not under
stand that we attribute such motives to
the Judges. In our opinion an open ac-
scusation is less insulting than a plaster
of tafy that necessarily implies impure
motives If they did it because they
were afraid Of popular opinion. they de-
serve cxecration If they did their du-
Ity under the law, it is mean to faint
them with insinuations under guise of
Compliments
