that his heart was in the wicked bust
ness; but he voted for it as party
measure.
This is the plain truth of history,
written in no feeling Of unkindness.
Grant had said ''let us have peace -
and had called ex-chieftains of the
Confederaey about his bier in order to
obliterate the bitterness of sectional
hate. But there was no war then, and
no need for Southern soldiers, and the
persecution went on. 1t ended, as il
would have ended at any other time
under like circumstances, when the
victims of persecution and hate were
needed to fight their country's battles.
Mr.. Mckinley must have known the
loyal temper of the Southern people
many years before the Spanish war.
1t would have been better if he had
recognized their loyalty before he
needed their swords

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.

j. b. Garner announces this week
for Attorney General of this district.
Mr. Garner is young man of recog-
nized ability, fine character, and is well
qualified for the Office. Lawrence
County has sent several young men out
into Office life, but of all that number
we can recall none of his years who
has brighter prospects than J. b. Gar
ner, except it be the lamented w. B.
Allen. No member of this bar stands
higher than he in public estimation.
He has during the years of his pro-
fessional life built up an excellent prac-
tice, having at present clientage
which might be a source of pride tC
older lawyers. He will make an active
canvass and the people will have an
opportunity to judge of his compara
tive merits with other applicants fol-
this honor. The courts before which
Mr.. Garner has practiced give hin
credit for being all that we claim fol
him. Lawrence Democrat.
Mr. Garner also announces in this
issue of the Herald, and we copy tn,
above that our readers may know wha
those who know him best, think o.
him. His professional standing and
private character, as we learn from
the above and other reliable sources
commends Mr.. Garner to the favorabl,
consideration of the voters of the dis
trict.

Secretary Gage has decided to ask
Congress to provide more money for
the use of the Secret Service Bureau,
SO as to enable it to maintain a force
sufficient to keep watch ON anarchists
just as it now keeps one on counter

was only 500, 600, which Mr.. Gage
wants increased to $3.50, 900. What

make for the grand old army of pen

FLOWERS FOR OUR BIRTHDAY

Our friend George Armstead, of the
Franklin Review-Appeal, in this
weeks issue, throws us the following
much appreciated bouquet of compli-
ments:
The Columbia Daily Herald was
two years old last Tuesday and gives
evidence of abiding strength. We hope
that its promise of continued useful
ness to its community and of profit to
the proprietor, may be amply fulfilled.
ltrequires courageous spirit to launch
a daily in a town of that size, how
ever substantial. but Lander, as every
body knows, has grit and he has won
the battle. Frank Lander is man
who deserves well of his people. He
stands for order, decency, and the hu.
manities. He is positive mar. bat
even his critics must concede that his
face is fixed in the direction of civic
honesty and political purity"

TWO YEARS OLD TO-DAY.
lFrom pnIly HeraId. -oct. / J


1T seems longer than that since the
little Daily Herald first began to make
its regular daily afternoon calls into
the homes of Columbia but it has
been just two years ago to-day; and,
in the language of our precocious
devil, sit is still kicking.
1t has not grown any in size these
two years but it has grown wonder
fully in strength and in the affections
and confidence of the people. We say
that in no vain spirit of egotism or
self -laudation, but as the simple state
ment of fact Two years ago it was
read and patronIzed patronizingly; to-
day it is used as a factor in the bust
ness, social, political and religious life
of Columbia. 1t has done what the
fewest of daily papers ever do, it has
made its own living and more, from
the hour of its birth to the present
moment But its mission in life is
higher than that of mere money max
ing. All-important as that is to the
future of the paper, it is made second
ary always when it conflicts with,
what to the management of the paper,
seemeth to be RIGHT. It owes nc
man any grudge, and would rather
forgive than to pay the debt if it did.
Neither does it owe to its best friend
such blind loyalty as to condone 8
fragrant wrong. Whatever may be
the predictions of its editorial staff,
the Herald itself wears no religious Of
political creed other than that o.
"equal and exact justice to all, specia
fayors and privileges to none. F."
The Herald does not report unpleas
ant news just for the love of it; bu
because it happens and from sens
of duty. If you do not wish it re
ported, do not make it happen. We dC
not applaud, neither do we condemn
men but with the measure rule O
Right and Wrong, and by their owl
acts do we Judge them. A faithful
newspaper reporter holds the miro
up to nature No judge upon tn
bench tries harder to deal fairly will
public questions, than does the Herald
and in it's report and condemnation
of wrong doing it becomes partisan
not from choice or prejudice, but lik
the inror who returns an honest find
ing, or the judge who pronounces sen
tence.
The Herald's past has not only beef
crowned with success, but its future /
cheered with even brighter hopes. o.
this our anniversary day we begin
canvass of broader field; to cover
larger territory to reach out afte
more names to double our subscriI
ton list. Heretofore we have confine
the Dailyin the main-to the mai
row confines of the town of Columbis
Hereafter it will reach out and tax
in the broad fields of Maury county
For, w herever a free delivery ruri
route leads, there, in the near futur,
the Daily Herald will go. This give
us a field and a future we had NJ
counted on in the beginning, and max,
assurance doubly sure that the Colun
bia Daily Herald has come to stay.
We return our thanks to the publ
for their past liberal patronage, al
shall endeavor to merit continuant
of the same in the future.

It now turns out that the $40, 0OOO 900
reduction in the war tariff on which the
Republicans so plumed themselves, has
worked out as one of $12,000,000 only.
Result, the Treasury Department is
moving heaven and earth to get rid of
the money that is piling up in it's vaults
to prevent per capita contraction of
the circulating" money. All the
favored banks have been we'll supplied,
and still the cash piles up.

The report comes from Washington,
the head and center of all political
news, that Hanna has dictated the Sc
lection of most of the Southern office
holders, building up thereby a powerful
machine which will urge him in 1904,
unless Roosevelt breaks the combina-
ton by selecting his own friends when
the reappointments come due.

The White House, which is larger
than the average hotel, and which has
been amply large for all the Presidents
heretofore, is SAID to be too small for
Mr.. Roosevelt. We are opposed to
crowding these rich folks who require
suite of rooms for each child. Some
poor man who is used to crowdins
two in room should be made to serve
the next term in the White House.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1901-10-04

The 'littleness" of the White House
has thrown President Roosevelt s
worshippers into. an impatient and
indignant revolt. They want the
historic old building expanded at once.
if not sooner 1t has only twenty odd
rooms, and that is not near enough
for eight people. The President
should convene Congress in extra
session immediately to provide a more
commodious palace for him.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1901-10-04

As we expected, the G. A. r. is rising
in its wrath TO denounce President
Roosevelt for declaring that he is proud
of his two uncles who served in the Con
federate navy. And Teddy is on the
anxious seat: and in his efforts to hedge
has almost reached the apologize stage.

The cable companies that have been

order to enable them to make any profit
at all. have now discovered that they

The American farmer has increased

Now that Roosevelt is President, the

Czolgosz weakened when he saw the
prison in which the electric chair was
awaiting him. From an anarchist
standpoint, there is little glory in
being shocked to death; not nearly 70
much as in a public hanging.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1901-10-04

While anarchy should be ruthlessly
stamped out, the necessity of eradica-
ting it should not be made an excuse
for limiting free spe sch-a thing abso-
lutely essential to the existence of Re
public.
