The COmmoner; ga Louisiana
democrat asks what constitutes a demo
crat? 1t depends upon the sense in
viii III the term is used. In the broadcast
sense he is a democrat who believes in
the rule of the people-not only believes
in it, but acts in a manner consistent
with that belief. Ia a party sense he is
democrat who advocates the principles
promulgated by the democratic party.
No man can be democrat, in a party
sense, who refuses to give allegiance to
the party platform, because if an indi-
vidual can remain democrat, in party
sense, and yet refuse allegiance to the
principles set forth by the party, then
there may be as many different kinds of
democrats as there are individuals"

The Nashville American says that il
is not true, as charged by the Column
bia Herald. that il does not give the
news of what is going ON between the
whiskey forces and the temperate g
democrats in the fight for the next legis-
lature and refers TO the space given the
local Anti Saloon League at Nashville.
The Herald was not talking about that
sort of news Our complaint was. ana
we think it is true. that the American
invited a discussion Of public ques-
tions, pertinent to and likely to be con-
sidered. by the Democratic Guberna-
torial convention; that in its first
article Inc American declared for a
plank favoring 1.-The right OF towns and
cities to self-government; !" that
several papers in the state entered into
the proposed discussion, favoring that
particular plank; and that the Ameri
can has failed or refused to continue
the discussion on that line. or to repro
duce the comments of other papers on
that subject. If we are mistaken in
this, then we are careless reader of
the Americans news columns. -
Another complaint we made was, that
since its first utterance declaring for
''the right of to WINS and cities to local
self government, the American s
editorial columns had been suspiciously |
silent ON that subject. The American
can remove that suspicion by reaffirm
ing its declaration if it will. but will
it? 1t is in the attitude now of having
plank, invited discussion,
and quit. Why did it quit? And if it
will quit upon SO important a question
as that. at critical time like this, can
it be relied upon to stand fire upon any
question at any time? Will the Ameri-
,an repeat, with comment and endorse
nent the plank il originally proposed
Or will it remain suspiciously silent?
We pause for an answer.

ABLE MEN IN PUBLIC LIFE

The Nashville Christian Advocate
says: lin very interesting inter
view, published few weeks ago in
one of the Nashville papers. Col. A. S.
Colysr. who is now over eighty years
of age. and has always been recognized
as a man of great ability and public
spirited citizen. bewailed the fact that
so few Of the strongest men of the
South at the present time are in public
life. He mentioned three or four Ten
nessee lawyers, such as Edward Baxter,
and J. NJ. Dickinson. and Others. who
have the ability to reach the highest
political eminence, but whose brains
have been drawn off to the service of
great corporations. No doubt there is
something in Col Colyar's contention.
Nor do we know whether it is posi-
bic to alter the existing state of affairs
Very few men in the South are rich.
The temptation to accept engagements
that have in them the promise of
competent living and snug sum for
old age is great. We cannot keenly
censure those who yield to it, though
we always regret TO see a man who is
endowed for craftsmanship turned
aside to any other vocation. Just now
all Tennesseans are congratulating
themselves on the recent great speech
of their young Senator, Hon. Edward
w. Carmack, ON the Philippine ques-
ton. Even those who do not accept
his views are proud of his splendid
aloquence. which drew encomiums |
from the keenest critics In the Upper
House. Mr.. Carmack might have
made fortne at the bar. He will
hardly make much as United States
Senator. But we feel sure that. if he
ives, he will not fail to uphold the
traditions of his high Office and to
win the respect of the whole country.

the State have decided TO make til
fight inside the two old parties. an,
to ask both the Democratic and Repub
lican state conventions to endorse loca
option-or the rights of towns anC
cities to local government.
II the Democratic state convention
refuses to endorse this plainly Demo
cratic principle. and the Republican
party comes along and accepts it, the
Democratic party will lose enough o.

We believe our party leaders see that,

Another announced policy of the
temperance Democrats, preparatory tC
capturing the next legislature. is tc
get ready. 1t is important that they
should have the machinery of the
party. or a. much of it as possible, in
their hands. The County Executive
Committees to be elected in August
are parts of that machinery. The
county officers to be elected in August
are parts of that machinery. For, if
you don't know it, it is time you were
learning that the office holders have
lots to do with things political in Ten
nessee.
Now to capture these offices the
temperance democrats of this county
must go to the polls and vote in the
democratic primary ON Saturday April
5. And they must not only go to the
polls and vote. but they must vote their
principles. For an avowed temperance
man to vote against capable man

Vim. Jennings Bryan is a strong
believer in local option-the right of
the people to local government In
the Commoner this week he endorses
the principle so far as to say that every
community ought to have the right of
local option in taxation even. That
is, to tax or refuse to tax just such
property and privileges as they choose.
That Columbia, for illustration, should
have the right, by majority vote of
it's people, to try the Henry George
single tax theory; and if it proved a
success, to continue it if not, to aban-
don it. In other words In State
affairs, majority of all the people in
the State should control in county
affairs, a majority of the people of the
county; in towns or cities, majority of
the people should control in all their
municipal matters "Those who have
faith in the doctrine of local self-govern-
ment," says Mr.. Bryan, 'and who be-
lieve that the people of community are
capable of determining what is best for
them, will find it difficult to oppose the
experiment" "What obiection,'' he
continues, "can the people CT one county
make if the people of another county
favor an experiment? Every good citi-
zen is anxious for the ultimate triumph
of every correct principle, and the cor
rectness of principle can only be de-
termined by experiment" To refuse
local option to people 'would indicate
a fear that the people will not act wisely |
in their own Matters" says Mr.. Bryan,
land Democrats cannot afford to enter
tain that fear" Mr.. Bryan believes in
the people; their ability and their right
to govern themselves, and he would not |
abridge that right IN the least. And, as
usual, Mr.. Bryan is just exactly right
And that is what the temperance peo-
Pile are asking of the Democratic party
in Tennessee.
