You win find all the corpora ton
owned papers, like the Nashville
American. directing their big guns
against what they choose to term
yellow journalism. They do not
want the President of the United
States criticised, because that might
incite some cracked brain fool to muir
der him. Their argument would also
hold good to his entire cabinet. And
as the President of the Steel Trust is
mightier than any of these, why not
to him? And If to him, why not to
the President of the Standard Oil Com
pany? And ON down the line to rail-
road presidents and bank presidents,
etc. That is the logic of the case.
And really that is what these trust
organs desire to 80 curtail the freedom
Of the press that trust inagnates may
carry on their nefarious practices and
yet go unwhipped of justice. They
seek to ride upon the popular feeling
aroused by horrible murder, to foist
upon the country laws that would be a
thousand times more hurtful to the
country than the death or assassina-
tion of an entire cabinet. For the lit
tie that is left of what was once a
government of the people, for the
people and by the people. ''-land
precious little it isl would be forever
gone, if the plutocrats could pass a
law to muzzle the press. With their
press mueller and their writs of in.
junction, the common people would
have no chance on earth to free them
selves from the tyranny of bad laws
and the partial enforcement of all
the laws. Then indeed would the ricf
rule with rod of iron, and work the
laboring classes like galley slaves.
Talk about conspirators The mar
who will conspire against free speech
or the freedom of the press, is wors,
than All anarchist.

We desire to call especial attention
to card in this issue directing the
attention of parents and physicians to
the law concerning the restriction of
contagious diseases. II parents are
doubtful Of the nature of disease
and do not deem the illness Of sufficient
gravity to call in the family physi-
clan, it is their duty to notify the
health officer, who will examine the
case and thereby relieve them of re-
sponsibility. There is at present a
considerable sprinkling of scarlet
fever over the entire State, and there
have been several cases in Columbia.

spread by contact with children con-

from infected garments. DIR. Porter e

Harry Stillwell Edwards, the author,
of Macon, Ga, has published a
card suggesting that brass tablet be
let into the pedestal of every Con-
federate monument In the South, in
scribed with the sentiment expressed
by Mr.. Mckinley in his Atlanta speech,
when he advocated the care of the Con-
federate dead by the National Congress.
The South. we trust, will pay no
attention to Mr.. Edwards suggestion.
Such sentimentalism is pure tommy
rot. With all due respect to Mr.. Nc
Kinley, and approaching the mag
aanimity he manifested by the senti-
ment he expressed, his idea was bad
one and was never favorably received
by the people of the South. No at
tempt should be made to perpetuatt
the unfortunate utterance, and the
sooner it is forgotten, the better.
The graves of our honored dead are
ours, and it is not only our duty bat
our sacred privilege to care for then
ourselves So long as love and pa
triotism abide in the hearts of South
ern men and women. the graves of the
brave men who wore the gray viii
not need the care of alien hands.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
rhe Nashyille American Eve :

Inc NASHVILLE 8JneTlchn says.
DAILY free delivery Of the mails Is
a matter Of such importance that we
are surprised the attempt to secure it
has not been more general in Tennes-
see by those who do not live III cities.
IL costs practically nothing b make
application for the service, and when
the application is based on the condi-
tions required it is Invariably granted.
1t does not require political pull to
obtain it,
The report of the First Assistant
Postmaster General. W. NJ. Johnson,
shows that there had been but forty
applications for rural free delivery
from Tennessee TO June 30, 1900 OF
course, many more have been made
since. but in the same time Iowa, a
smaller state, had made 80 applications
is Iowa more progressive and keener
to secure the benefits the government
extends with free hand than Tonnes
sect 1t would seem so-just six times
more.
Tennessee should be honeycombed
with free rural delivery routes. Few
things add more to the education. hap
piness and comfort of the people. "
1t is strange that Tennessee has been
80 slow catching on to good thing
but they are catching on now, and
catching on fast. The universal salts
faction ON every route started, spreads
the news to other rural neighborhoods,
so that it viii not be long until Ten
nessee will be, as the American says
it should be, ''honeycombed with fret
rural delivery routes. =

Common sense should have led the
anarchists to keep their hands off the
United States. Now their last asylum
will be taken from them. Messrs.
Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan and
other corporation managers and trust
promoters will no longer be allowed to
import them by the ship load. 1t
would be interesting to trace back and
learn who brought Czolgosz' parents
to this country.
