OF course nobody wants to send any
one-idea man to the Legislature Al
the same time there is just one Dig
issue in Tennessee right now, and
that is the Saloon" That is the para.
mount question, and the man who is
right on that question is just as apt to
be right on other minor questions az
the man who is wrong on it, or weak
kneed on it. On the paramount ques'
ton the Democratic nominees should
be dead right; and in order that they
may. and that there may be no mis-
take about it, the delegates to the nom
mating convention should be dead
right. The enemy is devilish sly.
Let's make no mistake. Let's take
nothing for granted. Let's know In
every district who our delegates are
and what they stand for This whole
great matter is in the hands OF the
people now; they are the sovereigns.
When they delegate their authority in

We. the people, cannot be too careful
therefore, to whom we delegate our
sovereign authority.

SUNDAY LAWS IN CAN
ADA AND FRANCE.

MIN AIN0 TnStNS@s
Sunday has been made a day of OBJ
ligatory rest by parliamentary enact
ment in Canada and France, says the
American Review of Reviews. In ac-
cordance with measure passed by the
late session of the Canadian parlia-
ment, with but very little opposition,
Sunday will be legalized day of rest
throughout the Dominion, beginning
March next. The government realized
the difficulties growing out of religious
and industrial differences and there
fore, very wisely, based the legisla-
ton on humanitarian grounds-the
need of Sunday as day of rest. Works
of necessity and mercy" will be per-
mitted, but all trading, work for re-
muneration, theatrical, sports, "amuse-
ments for gain" the publication, sale,
and distribution Of newspapers, and all
railroad operations are prohibited,
with heavy penalties for violation OF
the law. No telephone, telegraph, or
railroad employee, or any other IN
dustry calling for Sunday work, can De
required to perform such work unless
during the other six days he is al
lowed twenty-four consecutive hours
without labor. In France, Socialism
has accomplished what neither Roman
Catholicism nor Puritanism could bring
about. The new Sunday law, passed
with but one dissenting vote, was
government measure and its passage
is significant in view of the clerical
denunciations of the Republic as god
less because it has declined to be ultra
montane. The law makes compulsory
cessation from Sunday labor. with GER
tain definite exceptions. A special
clause authorizes the ministers inter-
ested to suspend fifteen times year
day of rest in establishments under
state control or private establishments
where work is going on in the inter-
est of national defense. The bill also
allows masters and employees IN
hotels, bakeries, restaurants, hospitals
drug stores, newspaper Offices, and
such places to so arrange their WORK
that employees who work on Sunday
shall rest on some other day OF the
week. The Belgian parliament has re-
Gently enacted similar legislation and
early in August, joint committee OF
the British Lords and Commons issued
a report on Sunday trading, in which
a strong recommendation is made Tor
further legislation to maintain sun
day as day of rest, not only on re-
ligious and moral grounds. but "as
necessary to the preservation OF the
health and the strength of the com
munity."

AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.


Rarely has the case Of the People
against the Plutocracy, the masses
against the classes, received such eX-
haustive and convincing treatment as
was bestowed upon it by the eloquent
and elaborate speech OF Mr.. Bryan at
Madison Square Garden.
The occasion and the man were COM
pletely met. That which Democracy
is, and hopes to be, was there set forth
with a power and candor which must
impress reflective men Of every sort,
whether they agree with all the speak
er uttered or not.
If the people do not destroy the
Money Devil, the Money Devil will de-
stroy the people; their moral nature,
their public character and their free
institutions. That was the keynote.
It is the cue to what Mr.. Bryan said,
to what Governor Folk said, to what
Tom johnson said, and to what Angus
ia Thomas said; four picked and
marked men, taken from the most
typical and enlightened rank and ME
of contemporary American citizen
ship.
Mr.. Augsuta Thomas declared that
he was glad that England, recognizing
Mr., Bryan as a Christian statesman,
had called him the Gladstone OF
America"
There is much to support the ana
logy. Mr.. Gladstone was the most
captivating personality of his day be-
fore a British audience. Mr.. Bryan
likewise before an American audience
Mr.. Gladstone had the reputation OF
being the bravest and sincerest OF
men. So has Mr.. Bryan. Gladstone
was won't when he drew his sword, to
throw the scabbard away. That seems
Mr.. Bryan's method. Mr.. Gladstone
was outspoken to a fault, impruden'
to a degree. We fear we must SO
describe Mr.. Bryan.
His speech of Thursday night is
great speech. 1t contained matter
enough to engage the thoughts OF
People and Parties and Statesmen FOL
a decade to come. If half the rem
edies he proposed be attained we shall
have sailed out Of the trough Of tht
Sea of Mammon and be riding full
rugged the billowy midocean of De
mocracy.- Courier-Journal.

nv neighbor's boy. just to help you
pay your taxes? What do you do TO
help pay my taxes? Would you loan
me your son, that I might make him
lower than one of the swine on my
farm, to help me pay my taxes
But" says a nina who knows the
taxes will not be raised. The income
now from the saloon license in Co
lumbia is only little over $4,000;
and what they cost the tax
nayers. in pauperism, crime,
Jail fees, extra police service
etc. is several times that. Besides
that it was not until the Browniow
administration that the saloons paid
as much as they do now. Before that
they had paid sometimes $50 year
and sometimes hundred. Mr.. BroWn-
lows Board raised it to $3.50. AND
the fact is thatthe city taxes were as
low all of the time, and lower most OF
the time when the saloons paid only
$50 per year than now when they pay
$3.50. And in addition TO this" said
the man who knows, Il have letters In
my possession to prove, that IN not
single town in all the towns around
about us where the saloons
have been voted out, have
the taxes raised; and if 1t
has not caused a raise of taxes In
any of these other towns, why should
It in Columbia or Mt. Pleasant"
Just as well sell it and receive the
revenue from the sale Of it" says the
saloon sympathizer, as to turn It
over to the bootlegger." las for thai"
said the man who knows, Il have in
formation from the city officials OF
dry towns, saying that drunkenness,
disorder. crime and idleness, have
been reduced from 500 to 1870 since
the doors of the open saloon have
been closed. and the business, as you
claim, turned over to the bootlegger.
But" chimed in the town man
again. "our merchants will lose so
much trade" There you go again"
said the country man. You want us
to sacrifice our boys for the sake OF
trade for your town merchants. You
must think we clod-hoppers place a
mighty low valuation on our boys.
But" said the man who knows,
that is not true either. These same
letters tell me that business has net
suffered in any Of the towns from the
loss of the saloons. Other businesses
have taken the place of the saloons.
In all the towns l have heard from
only one house formerly occupied as
a saloon is now vacant. And the sa'
loon men themselves are not without
Jobs; they have found other employ
ment. and many of them, l am inform
cd perhaps a majority of them, are
satisfied and would not engage In the
sale of whiskey again If they could.
And the conclusion of the whole
matter is this: The argument is all
against the Saloon; the people are
I tired of the Saloon; and the Temper
ance Democrats of Maury county, VINO
every one of them are effected" by
it, are going to instruct their repre-
sentative to the next General Assem-
bly, TO pass a bill legislating the ga
loon ont of Columbia, out of Mt
pleasant. out of Maury County.

FAIR NOTES

John Newcomb, of Cedar Snag fame,
is the first horseman to arrive at South
Side Park for the fall fair. Mr.. New
comb came in Thursday night bring
ing two horses, one a promising two
year-old colt and the other rapid
stopper by Tennessee Wilkes. Mr..
Newcomb blew into the local track a
number of years ago with an unknown
horse, he called Cedar Snag. Neither
horse nor driver had ever won race.
Pools were sold here then and Cedar
Snag was overlooked in the betting.
Much to the surprise of both driver
and the public, Cedar Snag went out
and won the race in straight heats.
e.
Mr.. James Boyd, who has just re-
turned from New York, states that he
visited Coney Island while away, and
saw the performance put up by Ken
nedy's Wild West Show. That the ex-
hibition was excellent, in fact was so
good that the management of New
York's greatest pleasure resort held
the show week longer than the orig
inal contract called for. Visitors to
the Maury county fair may therefore
expect something good from this spec.
ial attraction.

Senator Foraker
 Warns Arizonans

Senator J. B. Foraker writing to Dwight B. Heard, of Phoenix, under date of July II, 1906, effectively an swers the claims of jointists that if Arizona does not accept statehood this time it will not get it for 25 years.
 Senator Foraker writes as follows
 "I think the people of New Mexico and Arizona are wise enough to know that as public sentiment, in harmony with congressional action, condemned the un-American proposition to com pei them to unite, to secure statehood, so will both public opinion and con. gressional action condemn all sug- gestions and threats, made to in. fiuence votes for joint statehood, oi punishment by undue and unjust denial of separate statehood if the people of these territories vote, as the people of the United States wish them to, according to their own judgmen, as to what is for their best inter ssts"

Arizona Troops
 Are Recalled

Lieutenant Forester, who for the past six weeks has been in command of the American troops stationed at Naco, this morning received instruc- tions to return to the post at Fort Huachuca.
 While stationed at Naco the United States troops have been doing active duty along the border in the way of preventing arms from being smug- gled across the line. They were brought to Naco at the request of the Mexican government at the time the revolutionary talk was the hottest and there is no doubt but that their pres ence has been effective in preventing minor disturbances which might have occurred.
 Their recall to the post may be taken as evidence that neither the Mexican nor the United States off. cials anticipate any further trouble along the border and the much touted revolution, which never oc- cured, may now be considered dead issue"

 collected from gambling licenses $1,- 6Sl.50, while from other sources there
 was collected and turned into the
