SOWING WILD OATS"

Occasionally a Voice from the Past
has something to say in defense OF
boys sowing their wild oats" but
happily there are few who longer be-
leive that such employment in any
way contributes to the physical, men,
tai or moral development of manhood.
On the contrary every intelligent OBJ
server has lon~ since reached the con-
clusion that the boy who lives right
in the early years of his life is more
likely to continue in the straight and
narrow path than the boy who wastes
his manhood and squanders his time
in riotious living. Every man should
live right every day. The boy who
lives right is sure to die right. Take
no chances, no mans respect that was
worth having has ever been obtained
by the youth who prides himself on
his vices. The clean man is the man
of today; then clean boy makes the
clean man.
There Is little or no demand for the
youth who drinks or INDUCES to ex-
cess in other vices. The world has
passed that day when boys man
hood was measured by his ability to
"sow wild oats" 1t no longer has
any use for the cigarette smoking, rum
drinking youth who prides upon those
evidences of his manhood" The re-
ligion of Jesus Christ teaches us to
live right. 1t makes no exception be-
cause of age, and the spirit of this
religion pervades the business world
today. There is no greater or more
dangerous fallacy than that which
teaches the youth the necessity for a
period OF wild oat sowing" The man
who gives expression to such senti-
ment Is an enemy to his race.

IN SPITE OF THE MACHINE.

Bryan carried Tennessee by up
wards of $4,000 majority. substantially
the same plurality that he had in
1906. when the vote was much greater.
But for the perfidy and treachery Of
the State machine in trading and
"dickering' with the negroes and cor
rupt whiskey element of the Republi-
can party Bryan's majority would
have been more than twice as great
as it was. The election returns show
that the anti-machine papers Of the
State were justified in warning Demo
Gratis that Bryan was in danger be-
cause of the double dealing of the
machine.
An analysis of the returns show
that among Democrats that is in the
heavily Democratic counties, Bryan's
majorities were larger than those CIV
en- Patterson almost uniformly but In
the whiskey centers and the Repub-
lican counties conditions were re-
versed. The machine was concerned
only about its perpetuation. It's
manipulators have never and did not
in the last campaign care whether
Bryan carried the State or not. In
fact there is general rejoicing among
the machine followers that Patter-
sons majority exceeds that of the
Great Commoner, although notwith-
standing all the deals and trading with
the corrupt and vicious elements, the
latter's vote Is the larger.
Negroes were brought to the polls
in droves by the machine to vote for
Patterson and Taft Deals were
made in East Tennessee for Taft and
Patterson votes and it is surprising
that Bryan's majority is as great as
1t is. He carried Tennessee in spite
of the machine and not because of 1t.
Bryan carried Tennessee with Demo-
cratic votes Patterson obtained his
majority from negroes and from the
whiskey element of the opposition.
He was elected, but at the price of the
Democratic party's proudest boast that !
it is the white mans party {
While the machine directors were
abusing and denouncing the Demo {
Gratis who held to the traditional prin- :
ciples of the party and denied the I
right of Ban Murray to be the one /
and only inspired law giver for the i
white people of Tennessee, they were t
making deals with the negroes and 5
Republicans the effect Of which r
was to trade off Bryan for Patterson. f
Despite the abuse and the calumny o
hat was heaped upon them large Il
majority of the real Democrats of the p
State went to the polls and voted the y
State party ticket, at the same time d
the right to vote for those
candidates for the Legislature who n,
would carry out the peoples will on it

THE TENNESSEAN.

There has never been time in the
history of this State when 1t stood in
as great need of a newspaper at the
capital that will he fair, fearless and
able in the discussion Of matters con-
corning the public welfare as right
now. There are issues before the
people that vitality affect their free
dom and their highest interests.
Hence the necessity for an organ of
publicity that will truthfully and with
out fear favor or Partially, present
them the news concerning their public
servants and the questions which are
involved in the welfare OF the State.
Not only this. the people should
have an organ that will be
able enough and fearless enough

VALUE OF EDUCATION.

Education gives knowledge ant
knowledge is power. The American
people have prospered and grown ricf
and powerful because they have giver
prime attention to education. They
have acquired the knowledge that has
given them the power to conquer all
obstacles and that is why America Is
now the first Nation in the world, al
! though the youngest of the great
ipowers. Wherever knowledge has
succeeded ignorance, virtue has sue
ceeded vice. The more thoroughly
| educated man is, no matter what his
avocation, the more useful he is as
citizen and the greater his earning
capacity. Commenting on the remark
able advance in education in our Is
land possessions under American rule,
the New York American very cor
rectly says:
Most fundamental Of all American
ideas is education. This point is IL
Illustrated by the latest news from
Porto Rico.
Prior to tn eAmerican occupation OF
the island there were 525 schools with
roster of about $4,000 pupils at an
annual cost of S285,O00. Now Porto
Rico has more than 1900 schools and
nearly 1,7O0 teachers, at an expend1-
ture year of nearly $1,500,000
This development has taken place
in the few years since the American
of Porto Rico. However
the occupation Of the island may be ;
regarded, the fact stands out that +
American possession develops educa-
ton. The first impulse of our people
is to promote the knowledge and the
welfare of the children. Though there
may be reasons for not occupying
Porcibly the former Spanish island ter
ritories. nevertheless the American
regime has resulted in deep impulse
IN the direction of public education.
rhe rule of the United States has been
directed with power and sincerity to-
ward the great purpose Of the Ameri-
IAN people, which is education, fore
most of all. Il
Therefore the invincible military
possession these territories by the
United States has been to them /
blessing. Their people have been !
orced to send the children to school. !
Where ignorance once reigned public !
is now the ruling factor.
Whatever the course of politics +
lay be in the matter of holding these I
erritories history cannot say that a
.merica did not strive for their up n
ftment." I,

THE TOBACCO VICTORY.

At last the hurley tobacco growers
of Kentucky have won their long and
desperately fought contest with the
trust. The representatives of the
American Tobacco Trust and the Bur
ley Tobacco Association have reached
an agreement whereby the trust buys
three-fourths of the pooled crops of
1906 and 1907 at prices that are as
good or even better than those which
prevailed before the trust began to
Cypress the producers. 1t is a great
victory for the people and means that
once again there will be peace and
plenty in the tobacco district of Ken
lucky.
The association deserves all praise
for this settlement. 1t shows what
effective organization and determine
tion will accomplish. Before the as
sociation was formed the trust forced
the growers to accept from four to
six cents for their tobacco. BY the
terms of this settlement they will re-
ceiye sixteen and seventeen cents.
This will give the producers a fair
and reasonable profit for their toll
and upon the capital invested
The deal will mean a great wave of
for certain sections of Ken
lucky. 1t will turn loose in the peck
cts of the farmers not less than $12,-
100000 in cold cash. 1t will end the
'eign of lawlessness and night rider
SIN that has been a terror to the peo-
lie Of the tobacco district and It will
mean a big crop for next year. No
more night riders, no more beds
craped and no more want and misery.
Verify the association deserves con-
ratulations and praisel
Now let us hope for a similar set /
lement of differences and troubles In {
he dark tobacco districts Of Kentucky {
nd Tennessee. a

these not truths? Have you seen the
poisoned arrows pierce the devoted
victim? Have you seen him driven
to desperation, and end his misery in
self destruction? Who has gambled
much and to excess, has not partly
felt and seen in a thousand shapes
the picture of misery here sketched,
presenting instances of mental degra-
dalton and agony, melancholy as any
with which offended Heaven has ever
permitted the mind of man to be af-

to warn them when their interests
are threatened no matter from what
source. They need a journal that
win be free from the domination or
influence Of selfish and corrupt inter
ests; a journal in short. that viii be
truly an organ Of publicity. II is
more needed now than ever before
because the perils which threaten the
people are more apparent and more
real than they have ever been.
With the late Senator Carmack as
the directing genius Of that paper the
Tennessean truly answered the de-
scription of a public journal published
wholly in the peoples interest given
above. With Mr. Carmack as its edi-
tor its success was assured and this
is why the corrupt and selfish inter
ests so greatly feared the Tennessean
and so heartily despised Mr. Carmack.
Because Of these facts he was foully
slain. But the Tennessean, bereft
though it is of its great master mind,
must live on to do its part in the
accomplishment of the reforms FOR
which its editor died.
The Tennessean will continue to be
fearless in its stand for civic right |
eousness; the spirit of its martyr will
continue 10 dominate it and it will live !
to days of even greater usefulness
and power if only the people of Ten
nessee will show the proper appre
citation and give it that support which
ii so well. deserves.
The Tennessean should be in every
home where Carmack was loved and
where his memory is venerated. 1t
will stand for the principles which he
aspoused with such ability and such
and if it should fail for want
If proper appreciation to accomplish
hose reforms the people of Tonnes
see would suffer an irreperable loss.
While there are fine reasons founded I
n sentiment why the Tennessean ]
should be encouraged there are yet
more commanding ones! The Tennes-
can should be sustained because it is
public necessity!

CLEAN PRODUCTIONS PAY.

The average man is a clean animal
He admires cleanliness not only il
the physical sense, but he admires &
clean mind, clean morals and clear
conduct. When John Wesley said
that cleanliness was akin to Godli
ness he did not mean merely cleanli
ness of the body, although that is a
most admirable trait, but he intended
to embrace much larger definition.
Clean thinking is right thinking
clean living is upright, moral living.
In any sense that the term may be
used there is no higher commentator
for any man than to declare that he
lives a clean life.
| There are times when it appears
! from the surface indications that the
people do not place the highest appre-
citation upon the clean and the whole
some and especially is this true of
amusements. But there is seldom lit
tie reason for alarm on this score.
There are times it is true, when those
productions which border on the for
hidden and which are designed to APP
peal to the baser feelings, appear to
attain a considerable popularity and
to bring handsome returns to their
authors, but as matter of fact
closer Investigations reveal the fact |
that in the end it is those amusements |
which appeal to the higher and better |
nature that are assured the most last
ing success.
A large majority of the people, while
not altogether adverse to a bit of
scandal or suggestion of the evil, pre-
fer that on the whole the amusements
which they patronize should be of
such a nature as to commend them
selves to their better and cleaner ma
ture. Hence those amusement ven
doris who have appealed to this finer
sentiment have in the end prof1ted by
IT, This was conclusively demonstra-
led in the experience of the county
fairs in Tennessee. When these insti-
.utions permitted gambling and other
of like immoral nature
hey forfeited the support of the best
clement with the result that they were |
orced to eliminate such immoral {
eatures and since that was done the '
patronage has steadily increased.
Another case in point Is the circus I
hat exhibited in this city recently. I
