The Herald feels inclined to join the
Reorganizers. The country has tried
both the old parties, and they have
both been found wanting. Besides
they have become more or less mixed
and it is not always easy to tell tother
from which Then there is here and
there a wonderfully wise and well
dressed gentleman who holds to repub-
ican doctrines, but for pride of his
ancestry and the sake of his posterity,
does not like to be called a republican,
don you know. There are doubtless
not a few who cling to the old parties
for various and sundry reasons not al
together satisfactory, who would be
greatly relieved by new alignment
The lines could be drawn then with
ont fear or favor, partiality or preju-
dice. and names pregnant with mean
ing. Let the names indicate the real
issue Of the campaign Of 1904. and
let the alignment be for a battle royal
between the Party Of the People IS. the
Party Of Plutocrats.

TOM JoHNsoNs PLANK.

Tom Johnson's plank in the Ohio
platform reads as follows:
The acceptance Of passes or fayors
from railroads by pub ic officers or en-.
p.oyes shall be made adequate ground
for yacatinZthe Offices held by them.
"Ail public service corporations shall
be required by Ia v TO make sworn pub
lie reports and the power and DUTY Of
visitation and public report shall be
conferred upon the proper Sta G and 10
cal auditing officers, to the end that true
value Of privileges held by these corpo-
ratiOns snail be made plain to the PEG
pie.
steam and electric railroads and 9th
or corporations possessing public fran
chises shall be assesse in the same pro-
portion to their salable value as are
farms an city real estate
The proceedi Is Of the Republican
majority Of the Board of Equalization
are a scandal. Property value 5, instes d
Of being equalized, acre increased or di-
minished at the dictation OF political
bosses pursuant u corrupt combinations
aud oEspiracies."
The plank is all right. But the trou-
be in this country is not from any
weakness in its laws, but from non
enforcement of its laws. For illustra
ton: the present so-caIlad passenger
station at Columbia is unlawful. But
neither the state, county nor corpora
ton officers will enforce the Law And
what does the Louisville i Nashville
Railroad Company care for law that
is not enforced against them? Now, on
the other hand, let an individual do an
unlawful >act against a railroad com.
pany, and see how prompt the officers
of the law are to pounce upon him.
Paradoxical as it may seem, the public
servants of this Countrywide men cloth
ed with authority and sworn TO enforce
the laws of the land-to hear them tell
it on the hastings they all love
the people and hate corporations; but,
strangs to say, they nearly all serve the
corporations at the expense of the dear
people they love.
The day is Fastening, We hope, when
the people will rise in revolt against the
tyranny of corporations and the sloth
fulness of public officials. The day i:
already here when the people are iudg
ing public men more by their acts thar
by their words; and that being so, the
day of reckoning is sure to follow.

MR.. McMILLINs PLANS.

Experience is a dear teacher. The
Hon Benton McNiiIin has had the ex
perience Of running for two Offices at
the same time, and paid the prize He
is chary therefore, of repe7 ting the
trick.
In political circles in Middle Tennes

didate for Governor for the third term.
He is said to be oilmg his machine and
building his fences that way. In fact.
t seemed to be such a well-authenti-
Gated open secret that the public had &C
cepted it as fact, and the formal an
nouncement would not have created the
least excitement. But there appears TO
be hitch somewhere, as the following
political paragraph from the Memphis
correspondent to the Nashville Ameri-
can clearly shows:
LAS to the plans of Gov McMillin.
his closest friends here state that he will
not again be a candidate for Governor
and in this they are corroDOrated by
friends of his in other portions of West
Tennessee. They say that they have
positive assurances that he viii! not run,
and the cause for this is the Senatorial
campaign, which will be coincident
With the gubernatorial campaign next
following the one which is now opening
According to these friends, the Govern
or feels that if he should happen to be
defeated in the race for Governor for a
third term, it would give him setback
with the people which he could lot
overcome in the senatorial campaign,
and even if he should win third race
for Governor, it might create a feeling
that he was constantly out for any Office
that might be in sight, and in that way
be detrimental to his ambition for the
Senate. They conclude that he would
| prefer to see some friend in the guberna-
: torial chair who would assist him to
succeed Senator Bate. They all agree
that his course will be shaped with the
Senate in view"

HIGH GRADE PRIVATE SCHOOL

For long time Columbia has needed
and wanted high grade private school
for boys. The absence of such a
school has been a positive hurt and
hindrance 10 the town in more ways
than one. But we need not review
the past, except TO explain that the
failures have not all been ours; inn
practical demands and incompetent
men have contributed 70 make this
rather unenviable school record for
Columbia
But that is all past. The announce
ment Prof J. Ed Ford, late Of Lexing-
ton KY, now of COlum bia, makes in
another column Of this Issue. re-
lieyes the situation and places the re-
sponsibility upon Columbia if we do
not have high grade school for our
boys in the future.
We like the business like wat in
which Prof Ford has taken hold of the
situation. He is not demanding that
we put up our capital against his ex
perience. He is not asking that we
set him up in business. He is not
even asking our permission to come.
Before any of rs knew anything
about it he was here, aud it took him
just two days to decide to stay He
is simply going into the school business
without asking anybody any odds about
it, just like a man would come here
TO go into the newspaper business, or
to practice law or medicine, or TO sell
goods.
When a man has that sort Of con
fidence in himself, it inspires the con-
fidence Of others in him.
We believe he is the right man for
this place He is neither young ex-
pertinent nor a worn ont success. He
is not practicing teaching until he can
find something better to do He does
not think there is anything better to
do. and he has chosen this as his life
work. He is 81 years old neither too
young nor too old, but just the right
age with 5 years experience to start
just such school as Columbia needs
and make it highly profitable and useful,
both to this community and himself.
He is regular A. B. graduate of the
Millersburg, Ky, College, and after
wards took post graduate course at
Vanderbilt He has all the letters OF
introduction and endorsement that a
man ought to want to carry about with
him; from his College professors when
he was student FROM the President
and other officials of the College where
he has been teaching, and where he
has the option of continuing to teach
from his pastor and from business
men; and with one accord they pro.
nounce him a highly educated, chris.
tian gentleman. thoroughly compe-
tent, conscientious, painstaking
teacher. gentle and kind, but withal
a firm disciplinarian.
We believe he will do his part, if we
do ours, towards filling a long felt
want in this community. Lets unite
with him in building up for our boy:
and our town just such school as we
want and need and ought to have

The plutocratic press is at it again

deader they kill him. They are now fell

ton and its new departure" which in
fact means nothing except that the poll

stand play for the state this time" If
it was a presidential year they would
doubtless have played their cards diff
ferently. But be that as it may, what
we started out to cay is this: William
Jennings Bryan Oh Nebraska, will not
be candidate for that nomination. But,
he will write the National Democratic
platform for that year, as certain as he
lives, and the man he supports will be
the flag bearer Of his party, the pluto
cratic, subsidized press and time serving
politicians to the contrary notwith

men even-to say nothing of hirolings--

the love of liberty in the human heart.

The Nashville American, hard up for
something to say. argues that the DEM
ocrats should either nominate Mr.. Bryan
for the third time or else abandon the
principles of the platforms upon which
he was nominated heretofore. just as
well argue that the Republicans should
nominate Mr.. Mckinley for third
term. A man twice elected President
is not considered an available candidate
for third term. Neither is man twice
defeated considered available for third
nomination. Mr.. Bryan realizes this
hence he is not a candidate. The Amer
can is not deceived in the situation. Its
purpose is to deceive others. But even
in that it fails. because the people,
knowing the ownership and controlling
influences of the American, understand
and make allowances for its editorial
utterances.
