AnsuRnLY HIGH WAGES.

Our high tariff is kept high in order
that workmen's wages may be high.
True, high tariff employers OCCASION
ally send to Europe for low.wsge work
men. True 1t is, also, that the strong
est protectionists reduce wages at
times, and have lockouts and strikes,
and few man shot down in the effort
TO run down the wages they say the
tariff runs up; but very many OF our
working people fail TO discover what
lies behind the same citizens making
efforts to reduce wages, while advo-
eating tariff to preserve them from
reduction. The New York Tribune is
the leading organ Of the high tariff
men, and Tuesday last that devotee OF
high tariff for the protection Of
American labor had long article,
complaining because the wages OF the
servant girls OF New York, as the
Tribune asserted, "have not been
reduced siuce the war" That is very
consistent in the leading advocate
Of high tariff to keep up wages.
The Tribune's article adds: "There is
no reason in the general conditions
for the maintenance Of the current
wages. Compared with those in other
branches OF labor they are clearly too
high; and, considering the average
value oil the services rendered, ab-
surdly So" The servant girls are
paid high to an absurdity and conse.
quently against reason, Is there moi
something in all this worth working
mems thinking about2

Mr. Doah,s Response.

Mr.. Doak, in response 10 the tosst,
"0ur Guest" said:

profound principle Of pie. 1t is honor

may 80 speak, it is sweet and decorous
to "pie" for ones country. If may
express an opinion, antitipatory and
a little in advance OF actual expert
ence, am willing to be sworn, and /
will die at the stake for the opinion,
that pie is better than crow. 1t is
creditable to humanity that the sub
lime cause OF pie may cal martyrs by
thousands flom every plain, hill and
valley, and even summon the wander
er to return home from abroad to suf-
fer torture at the sacred stake Of
official pie. Looking around at the
Tennessee press l find in the names
OF Albert Roberts, Gus Enloe, James
Phelan, Dick Bullock, Tom Haynes
and others, either now suffering or
pressing forward for the patty pan
crown OF pie martyrdom, proof that
my own noble profession is eager for
martyrdom and canonization, "Fal-
staff" said that il he was not witty
himself he was the cause Of wit in
others. The press hes always been
piously inclined, but it has oitener, in
the past, been the cause OF abundant

Mr.. J. M. Heating.

II was nearly IL O'Clock when Mr..
J. M. Heating, the chairman and mas
ter OF ceremonies, raped for order
and said: Gentlemen - We have
come to honor man whose woik dur
ing a quarter CT century we desire to
approve. 1t is for the purpose OF con-
veyiug to him our appreciation OF his
course, and to say, his work has been
we'll done, and in manly, etraieht-
forward, outspoken way, that while
he differed with some OF rs on ques-
tions Of great public policy, he acted
truihfully and up to high sense OF
conscientious duty, holding, as he did
in his capacity as journalist, sacred
trust, no less sacred than that which
Is conferred upon man by the elect
i've franchise. II is only two years
and four months sincs he came to us
and engaged in the conduct OF a
daily journal, the most arduous OF
human avocstione, and one where
profits are few and far between. The
work OF the true Journalist is 20
engrossing as to leave no margin
for spIofit in pecuniary sense;
his life is devoted to the public veal
aud his integrity is measured by his
lack OF capital, in worldly sense. Blu.
he is a capitalist in larger and a
broader sense, in the sense that his
capital consists Of an honest and
incorruptible purpose to labor
for the welfare of the masses,
in whose interests he daily
employs his pen, We have only to
look back twenty-four years to the
great civil war that wrenched our coun-
try TO remember how strong the ties
OF sentiment are, how men and women
devoted their all to the maintenance
OF princlp e-andsympathy and sem
timent, be it understood, are largely
tho weapons which a journalist brings
to his aid. He gees out t0a vast null
titude whose ways are devious aud
p act finding out. 1t is for these he
must wrestle. He Ia their spokes-
man, speaking alike for the lswgiver
and lawmaker and resisting all
the powers Of persuasiveness to
divert him from his honest course.
Col. Doak has not had many grievous
questions to contend with, to write
Of; he came to us at a time that
marked an era in our history, and
upon that era he made his mark, with
a sterling regard for truth, an honesty
OF purpose and manly stIaightfor-
wardness that we all must admire. We
have only to look back upon such
bright names in journalism as Riy-
mond and Horace Greeley to see how
closely and readily he comes 10 the
spirit OF ideal journaliem-an idea
that is a practical self denial. Gen
tlemen, have the honor to intro
duce TO you Mr.. II. M. D;ak.
Towing to the rapidity with which
Mr.. Heating spoke it was impossible
to report him accurately, and as he
had no manuscript prepared the re
porter had to rely upont such fugitive
notes as he was able to jot down rap
idly. What is pup ished here is only
faint outline OF what he said. Mr.

WE ARE MOVING.

= For the week ending yesterday
there was sold in Memphis 44,7OO
bales OF cotton, 1900 bales more than
were sold in New Orleans in the came
time, the total sales OF that city being
given as 1880 bales. Aud yet 1t is
not so many years since New Orleans
factors used to tell us that Memphis
never could be cotton market. Still
we move.

Cant. j. II. Mnthen.

In response to the toast OF "The
Press" Capt. ]. H. Mathes said: 1t is
something unusual for man to come
into city like Memphis and to leave
it after two years with the respect not
only Of journalists, but followed by
the hearty good will Of all who know
him and many who do not. We had
all heard OF him as man who had
dealt sturdy blows for the State, and as
such we honored him. We all
rejoice in his elevation and
see him 20 with feeling
OF regret akin to sorrow.
Mr.. Mathes proceeded in the same
complimentary strain for many min
utes, dwelling largely uuon Col.
Doak's past history, which he ad-
ve,ted to in terms Of the highest
praise, beginning with his youth and
following him with faithful eloquence
until he came to his sojourn in Mem.
phis, where the speaker said Col.
Doak had injected a virile
force into local journalism
that made itself felt all
over the State. In conclusion COL.
Matbes expressed both congratula-
tions aud regret at the fortune that
had fallen 10 Col. Doak, and assured
him that the press of Memphis, while
Il reioiced in his good luck, would see
him 90 with the kindliest feelings and
the sincerost regret.

pointed or controlled, bat after many
changes the constitution was } framed
that House OF Burgesses chosen by
the people was Instituted, which met
for the first time July 30, 1919. This
was the beginning Of representative
government in America. In our early
Puritan colony the Legislature at first
comprised the whole body OF the pee
pie, bat as population advanced the
representative system was adop'ed.
They who make laws to control the
action and destiny OF men are GER
tainly flliDs very impt RANT part in

lators should always endeavor TO re.
fleet the will OF the people who elect
them, for they are simply the
servants Of their constituents. But
legislators lot is not a happy one.
In fact, 1t is 30 unhappy that a man
after serving one term frequently pre-
fers to wait ten or twelve years before
asking a2ain to be returned. A con-
stituent keeps a big bulldog IN his
front yard, another constituent rushes

excited manner that a man might as

men who own them. Another man

that two wires should be enough and

The Earl of Warwick very justlS
said: Happy is the man who hai

THR BANQUET.

At the Peabody Hotel last night the
Journalists OF Memphis, reinforced by
some fifty or seventy-fve citizens
called from the ranks Of the followers
of learned professions and representa-

rendered a banquet TO the retiring
editor, and the occurrence was in
every way worthy OF promoters and
their distinguished guest,
The spacious dining loom OF the
Peabody Hotel was admirably ar
ranged for the occasion. A hollow
square OF table,, open al one end, COM
pletely filed the center OF toe room.
Electric lights and gas shed brilliant
light over the scene, and the perfume
OF hundred bcquets and tiny
beds Of flowers, ranged along the

Democracy Should be Pledged
for Local Option

monmouth Dellociatic.
W do not believe that public senti-
ment in New Jersey is ready to endorse
the extreme measures of tile Prohibi-
tionists, but We are fully persuaded
that the attitude Of the two great par
ties towards all measures designed TO
reform the liquor traffic is rapidly
creating public sentiment in that direc-
ton. We would he glad 10 see the
question taken out of politics, but that
can only be done by %remanding it TO
the people, either by the submission Of
IA constitutional amendment, ITS o
tended for ly the Prohibjtjomsts, or
by the enactment Of a local option laR,
as asked for by the conservative Senti
ment of the State. We doubt the eN-
pedicncy of prohibition. but we believe
that a local option law, such as was
submitted to the legislature last win
ter, would mitigate the evils complain
ed of and would satisfy the great mass
Of the conservative people of the State,
Such a measure would be emiuently a
Democratic one, in the general of
of that term, and also in the party sense,
that the people may be safely trusted
TO vote upon all questions affecting
their interests and that the majority
ought to rule. We therefore believe
that the Democratic party of New Jer-
sey. by their State Convention, ought
to meet this question boldly and frank
ly, moi in any way committing itself TO
the support of temperance principles,
morally or politically, but expressing
lis confidence in the good sense of the
people and its Willingness to support a
measure referring the question to them
t I their action. Anything more than
this they could not reasonable be eX-
pected to do, but anything less than
this-any attempt to ignore the question
in the present state of public sentiment
throughout the State-would be All eN
hibition Of moral coward ce that will
react npon the party with great force.
Tne Democratic party, as The party Of
the people, must be Irue to its tradi-
tions in the present emergency, if it
would command the respect and sup
port OF The people ia the future.
