NO HIDING BEHIND THE SCREENS.
There is war between the whiskey
sellers of Columbia, the whiskey
makers of Maury County, and the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen of
said city. The Board has passed
law to remove the screens and frost
ed windows from the saloons, and to
compel them to do business on the
first floor and in the open as it were,
and the whiskey sellers, wholesale
and retail, have retained legal coun-
sci to test the cOnstitutionality of
the law.
The HERALD is in favor of protect
ing every man in his constitutional
rights. Whether this law is consti-
tutional or not, the courts will de-
termine. Those agrieved by the law
have right to appeal to the courts.
We would not if we could, deprive
them of that right. At the same
time the Board, we hope, will not be
bluffed from continuing the way
which, if the law will sustain
them, is the road to good morals,
good government and right living.
And since the whiskey seller pro-
poses to fight and not submit, in or
der to make the legal battle all the
more interesting; in order to test
the law to it's fullest, why not add a
few more restrictions, and fight it
all out at one and the same time.
If the legislature of Tenne ssee is
so dominated by the whiskey ring
that they will not even give the
people a chance to vote for local
option law, the legislature of Column
bia should at least give us the best
temperance laws they can, under
the laws as they now exist. Instead
of going to extremes as the whskey
sellers claim, this Reform Board
has not taken these progressive steps
as fast as their supporters and
friends thought and hoped they
would.
The present law provides that all
houses where intoxicating drinks
are sold shall close at 10 o'clock at
night. Constitutionally the law
would be just as sound if it read
eight instead of ten o'clock, and it
would please the temperance people
just that much better.
The present corporation law pro-
vides that retail liquor sellers shall
pay privilege license OF $50 per
year. 1t could easily be made to
read $500, and we believe would
stand the test of the courts just as
we'll. If the saloon keepers all saw
the raise" Ito choose their manner
of speech) this licensed evil would
yield the city quite nice little
revenue. On the other hand if they
thought it too high and chose to
"pass out" then that would give us
local prohibition, and really that is
what we want.
There is no use in having a little
law suit every time We want to take
step towards temperance legisla-
ton. Better take one long stride and
have law suit right. The VIII iskey
men never hesitate or fail to
claim all their rights under the law
let the temperance men do the
same. The law that gives to the sa-
loon business a license, also gives to
municipal corporations the right to
regulate them, and that right this
Bcard-elected pre-eminently for
that purpOse-should exercise to the
furthest legal limit, and to the full.
est moral extent.

HOME ENTERPRISES.


say last week in regard to the Citi-
zens' Telephone Co., and why it
should be patronized and sustained.
We wish to pursue not that subject
but that line of thought, still little
further.
Why should we not build up CO.
lumbia and Maury County by COM
bining as a people to buy and build
and operate our own affairs?
Why should the moneyed men, the
business men, the tax payers, allow
bonds to be issued by the town of
Columbia to build an electric light
plant, and allow the interest on
those bonds to be paid to Eastern
capitalists, when we have the money
and can Just as well make that in
vestment as not. We do not lack
the money. All we lack is public
spirit and confidence in home en-
terprises. Our banks have more
money than they can loan, and it
belongs to the people of this town
and county. 1t is idle, dead capital.
Why not invest it in home inter-
prises of one kind and another.
Whatever Columbia needs she is
able to build and to own, if the peO-
pie would try to build each other up
instead of slandering and pulling
each other down.
No community on earth has a
finer opportunity to-day to grow rich
and prosperous, than the good peo-
pie of Mt. Pleasant. What more
could nature do than she has done?
Will these favored people now sell
their birthright for mess of pot
tage? Why ship the raw material
thousands of miles away, that 9TH
ers may reap the profit of the manu-
featured article? Why sell for a song
the raw material, when its value
can be so easily and so materially
increased by little work and the
banding together of our own snail
capitalists? Why further enrich
the plutocrats of foreign countries
by borrowing their money when we
have idle money of our own? Why
go to Wall street for money, when
we can find it nearer at home? Why
should foreign capitalists have more
confidence in our phosphate lands
and fertilizer companies than we
should have?
And speaking of Wall street. A
recent statement shows over fifty
five million dollars of idle money in
New York. Whose money is it!
Does it belong to New Workers, al
of it? Not by any means. A very
large part of it belongs to the people
of the South. Any one not very
well posted would be surprised tC
know how much Southern money il
lying idle in New York. 1t is sent
from the Southern banks to the
Eastern banks, where it draws q
mere tritle in the way of interest
Those people borrow our money at
or per cent interest, and with i
buy our per cent bonds. They
borrow our money and loan it bach
to us and make money by the deal
They borrow our money, manufac
ture our raw materials, ship then
back to us, and we pay them profit
with the freight both ways.
Nc wonder they grow immensely
rich while we do well to hold GU
own. Lets stop that. Lets inves
our money at home. Lets help pub
lie enterprises. Lets enlarge upoI
the Citizens Telephone idea. Let
organize a Maury County Citizens
Improvement Company, and push i
along.

DARLING ONES:
The sad message arrived last night,
but was not delivered unto me until this
morning. Miss Cora Raugh read the
telegram, but deemed it best to wait
until this morning before breaking the
sad news to me. Although | had been
expecting such a message, yet when it
did come, it pierced me to the heart.
When We consider how our dear
Grandmother suffered, 'tFor Heaven
chastises those whom He loves" we
can but Thank God that He has
brought an end to her trials, and has
taken her to a place where suffering,
toll and Trouble are no more.
She was a precious pearl loaned to
US by Heaven, and now that God
claims her, We should not complain but
should thank Him for permitting us to
have such a jewel in our midst. She
Was.a "Mother in Israel" faithful and
true, and the lessons she has taught us
will i've forever in the hearts of each
and everyone of us. When we men
ton her name it shall be for a blessing,
and we shall thank God for having
given us such q dear grandmother.
Owing to the fact that have just re-
ceived the sad news | find it impossible
to write more, Though she be dead
her memory and the lessons to be
drawn from her pure life will live for
eyer. thank God for having loaned
us such priceless jewel.
| am your loving,
