Nashville contemplates another effort
to raid ties State Treasury for their
State FAIR proposition. as the follow
ing clipping from the Nashville Amer
lean Will show. Mr.. Joseph Frank,
Chairman of the State Fair Committee.
at a recent meeting of the Nashville
Chamber OF Commerce said: II be-
lieve that If we pursue polite course
1t will be possible for us to obtain
from the Legislature an appropriation
for premiums. If application were
made for appropriations not only for
premiums for the state Fair, but also
for county fairs, proportionate to the
amounts appropriated by the respective
fair associations of the State tor prem
iums. an appropriation for premiums
will probably he made by the Legisla-
ture. Representatives from rural Sec
tions of the State would vote for max
ing an appropriation for premiums for
the State Fair If the bill carrying the
appropriation also carried appropria-
tions for county fairs. - That is the
way it is done from the Congress of
the United States down to the smallest
municipality; you tickle me and I'll
tickle you" You vote for my special
interest, and I'll vote for yours. Well
swap favors with each other. at the ex-
pense of our constituents. Why is the
Nashville Chamber of Commerce. with
not farmer or stock raiser among
them, so interested in Fair? Simply
for Nasbville's good. Therefore let
Nashville pay their own premiums,
and let the County Fairs pay their own
premiums.

States. quite a number of men are
murdered and greater NUMBER
wOunCed by unlawful shooting Dy
policemen-not shooting in self
defense, but at alleged offenders who
are running away. Such shootings are
lawful only when the policeman mas
reason to believe that the fugitive is
guilty of very serious crime. OtheI-
wise they are murder or assaults with
intent to commit murder. Such incl
dents are far more frequent than efforts
to punish the officers guilty of them.
The Post takes the correct view.
There has been too much unlawful
shooting by policemen, and instances
In Nashville can be easily recalled.
The policeman pistol is for protec-
ton, and not for assault. In rare in
stances and in peculiar extremity an
officer of the law may be justified in
shooting for other cause than self
defense. but he has no right or author
ity for using his pistol EXCEPT in clearly
desperate contingencies The police
mans authority must he respected. but
that authority should be judiclously,
as well as courageously exercised, and
there is no need of the free use of the
pistol to msintain It.-Nashville Ban

The Hon. Ham Patterson, political
product of that delightfully."- clean city,
Memphis, wants to annihIlate the Cox
machine In Tennessee and establish a
Patterson machine. It no fight of
ours. Tne Herald wants better tenn
perance man than either of them. But
Ham s homiIies on pure elections and
peoples rights, have mighty hollow
sound TO them. No political party can
live without organization. That or
ganization is called in common paIlsnce
the machine. What has Mr.. Patterson
ever done, that he should ask and ex-
pect the party machinery put INTO his
hands? The last time we heard of him
before this he was leading counsel for
the defense in a trial IN the Criminal
Court of Shelby county, wherein two
or three notorious gamblers and dive
Keepers were on trial for having muir
dered a police officer in the honest,
faithful discharge of his sworn duty.
Will the Tennessee Democracy give
Hem the Governorship for that! Men

they keep, and lawyers-especially

Says the Nashville American; 1T
is SAID the saloon interest in Nashville
is going to prevent any increase in the
privilege tax in the new Council. The
saloon interest in Nashville is skating
on thin ice now. and If it influences
the Council not to do its duty, the
Legislature may be induced to pass a
ward option bill which will apply to
every city in the State, and then woe
to the saloons. especially In the resi-
Dental wards. - In other words, the
Saloon must stay out of politics or be
driven out of the State. And as it
won't stay out of politics, better drive
it out of the State.

envy with 105 pupils, Professors Hardy
and Edgerton calculated that in
weeks time they would have 125 on
the roll; they closed the week with
40. They now calculate that they will
close their first scholastic month with
an enrolment of $50. This is the most
prosperous showing any school in Ten

NOT built upon the sand. 1t has the

those who are able to live without hard
work, but if we could look beneath the
surface we. would find that, in many
cases, we haye the happier and more
contented lot. We have something ITO
drive us out Of our narrow cell-some-
thing that incites brain and heart to
their utmost. 1t is one Of the merciful
as we'll; as wise provisions Of. provi-
dence which assigns us our differing
spheres Of labor and places us where
we can exact properly and fully the
various powers which we possess. We
may be poor, but we must not forget
that it is an act of kindness and love
which compels US to toll for our daily
bread for ourselves and our loved ones.
We may be rich, but this fact does not
mean that we are to do nothing out
side of our selfish qualifications, but
rather that we are to use our wealth
for others welfare and Gods glory.
Whatever our situation, we come into
a larger. happier, healthier, nobler aEd
truer life in proportion as we get BE-
yond our individual environment, man.
