people are happier and more content
cd than they have ever been. there are
fewer vacant houses, more hank de-
posts and more depOsitOrs and more
children in school.
In brief this is the record for six
months without saloons. All that Is
necessary to improve even this fatter-
ing record during each succeeding six
months is a vigorous and impartial
administration and execution Of the
law Columbia's happy experiences
can be duplicated in any other city Of
the South IL those charged with the
execution OF the law will be diligent.
While our record has been all that
could reasonably have been expected
and has INDICATED those who, with
the Herald. advocated and brought
about the change, it should not result
in any relaxation Of the efforts OF those
charged with the enforcement OF the
law And the people should contin-
nally frown upon and discourage any
suggestion of leniency for persons who
violate the four mile law.
Eternal vigilence is the price Of law
observance. Temperance in Column
bia is backed by powerful public
sentiment. This sentiment should al
ways and in every possible way mani
fest itself. Let the people make it
plain to courts and officials that they
have no sympathy for the bootlegger
and he will not long ply this nefarious
avocation. And the way to make this
plain, is to make Law Enforcement
the paramount issue in every cam
paign, and to vote for no man for any
Office whose life's record is not an
earnest of his carrying out in good
faith that plank of the platform.

A sALooNLEss CITY.

Columbia is the first city In Tennes
see having a population of more than
5000 people that has given prohibi-
ton a practical test. The saloons of
this city we're closed on March 81
last. Those OF Clarksvllle were not
closed until three months after that
date. The result of the experiment
in Columbia is not therefore a matter
of purely local interest, but the peo-
pie of other cities which have or will
soon eliminate the open saloon will
read with interest the result here.
II there ever was any reason to
doubt the wisdom OF closing the sa-
looms here the record for the past six
months proves conclusively that the
freer a community is from the liquor
devil the better OFF its people are,
Crime has been reduced to a minimum
and business Is better than II has ever
been in the history of the city. The

MORAL AWAKENING.

Evidences of moral awakening II

Ing. In Nashville the grand jury has
been making a painstaking investi
CATION of alleged election thievery. i
is stated that the attorney general ant
the grand jurors are determined t
lay all the facts bare and II possible
to bring to justice those who have
conspired to pollute the ballot box and
thwart the will of the people.
There should be no leniency for the
election crook He deserves abso
Iutely no consideration. OF all the
thieves, the election thief is the most
dangerous to society. This all will
admit, yet strange to say he Is us
ually the last to be punished.
In Chattanooga determined attor-
ney general backed by, a patriotic hard
working and capable grand jury, has
been conducting an investigation into
the affairs of the municipal govern
ment, with the result that five re-
sponsible city officials have been in
dicted for alleged malfeasance in Of
fee.
Three. indictments for bribery have
been returned against city official
who is described as prominent in
the political affairs of the state" If
guilty he should not be spared for this
reason. Let there be a thorough
housekeeping in every city where
there is any cause to suspect that
public Office has not been held to be
a public trust by those filing high
positions.
Unfortunately, offenders who hold
high place or have prominent and
influential friends are seldom pun
Ished. This is unfortunate. 1t re-
suits in bringing the law into con-
tempt and raises a suspicion among
many that after all penal statutes are
made for the poor and uninfiuential
and not for the gentlemen of means
Dr. leisure.
II there has been election crooked

among Chattanooga's officials the Of
enders should feel the heavy hand of
he law. 1t would have decidedly |

VALUE OF CORRECT LIVING.

William ]. Bryan spent two days in
Kentucky speaking in the interest Of
the Democratic ticket. During that
time he made sixteen speeches, two
of them an hour long, and all OF them
as much as twenty minutes long and
travelled 500 miles. He was heard by
over 10000 people. According to the
press reports he at no time lost his
customary good humor, or his enthus-
iasm. OF course this is due in part
to Mr.. Bryan's temperament. But
his endurance and never-failing good
humor under all circumstances is due
very largely to the correct fife which
he has always led.
Mr. Bryan has always taken the
best possible care of himself. He has
never INDUCED in any of the excesses
all too common to many public men;
on the contrary hts personal habits
are a model. He possesses a vigor Of

While the Memphis Commercial Ap-
peal is insisting thar the failure OF
the Legislature TO repeal the law al
lowing back assessments was not dae
TO any lack OF interest on the part
OF the Governor to bring about this
reform. the Chattanooga News. which
has recently assumed a most friendly
attitude toward the administration,
makes this explanation:
Governor Patterson. until he had
investigated the matter. voiced the
popular cIamor on this subject and
declared against all back or re-as-
sessments. but he. like all others who
have studied the problem changed his
views upon investigation"
In other words. according to the
News. whose proprietor is a member
of the Governors stan, Patterson did
not know what he was talking about
when he went roaming over the state
offiee-hunting with the bitterest de-
nunciation for the back assessment
law. He voiced the popular clamor :
That is Patterson exactly. He would
voice any clamor or sing any song II
he thought by doing SO he could corall
a few votes.
The truth about the matter is that
Patterson knew nothing about the
back assessment laws or any other
laws providing the detail of admins
tration when he made his campaign
for Governor. He knows very little
more now. He thought that by assail-
ing the back assessment laws he could
arouse a certain prejudice that always
exists and will always exist against
the tax gatherer. And he was right.
The unthinking applauded his utter
ances.
But his platform upon the tax laws
as upon all other questions was mere
ly to get in on and not to stand on.
The Governor had no intention of re-
deeming this pledge. When he got
into the Governors Office he set about
to transfer from the Comptroller's Of
fee to his own hands the power to-
appoint back tax collectors and rev.
enue agents, to be called by the high
title of state auditors" Not
that the Governor cared anything
about back taxes. He didn't His
object was to strengthen his machine.

STATE REFoRMAToRY.

The people of Tennessee will re-
ceive with great satisfaction the news
that the Trustees of the proposed
reformatory for juvenile criminals
have at last decided upon, site for
that institution. The reformatory
will be located on the land upon which
the Soldiers Home is located near the
Hermitage in Davidson county. The
act creating the institution required
that it should be located in Davidson
county and probably better Selec-
ton could not have been made. The
land is already owned by the state,
thus obviating the necessity of en-
croaching upon the meagre appropria-
ton for the acquisition of site.
This state has for too long delayed
the establishment of place Of de-
tention for youths who offend against
its laws. 1t has long been a shame
that boys of tender age were SEN
fenced to and frequently confined in
the penitentiary and subjected to the
evil influence of association with older
and hardened criminals. Every SEN
timent of humanity every dictate OF
Christian charity demands the separa-
ton of the youths from the damning
influence of the penitentiary.
Boys Should not be sent to prison
for punishment; they should be sent
of the state to throw around the boys
such safeguards and such good and
wholesome influences as will make of
them good and useful citizens. Send
ing the average youth to the peniten-
tiary is almost equivalent to a SEN
tence to eternal damnation. OF the
boys of today are to be made the
citizens of tomorrow. Because boy
Yields to temptation and breaks one
of the laws of the commonwealth is no
more reason for the state closing for
ever the door of hope upon him than
that his parents should Danish him an
outcast from the parental roof be- |
cause of some infraction Of the rules |
OF the household.
The necessity for a reformatory has
long been recognized. For years the
Governors have urged that provision
be made for the boys who are con-
victed of violating the laws. Gov.
Frazier made the demand for a re-
formatory one of the issues Of his
compaign and declared that he would
not allow boys OF tender age to be
incarcerated in the penitentiary.
Sending youths OF tender age to
the penitentiary is a reflection upon
our boosted civilization and raises a
doubt as to the sincerity OF our pro-
fession of Christianity. We hope that
this blot will not long rest upon our
fair state, and that the trustees Of
the proposed institution will prepare
the reformatory for the reception of
inmates A grave responsibility rests
Ipon the trustees. into their hands is
committed the work ,of inaugurating
system that should rebound to the
eternal credit OF Tennessee. We hope
hat they will perform that duty well.
