Says an organ Of the Governor:
Tremendous efforts are being made
by Tillman and his managers to bring
the negroes into line They had
better get busy, or their old allies are
going to give them the boot cause
'Marse Tillman gin Ticker" With
mass meetings of negroes endorsing
Patterson all over the state and thou
sands of negroes wearing his cam
paign buttons It is going to be a
mighty hard matter to make votes for
Patterson by trying to arouse race
hatred. II would be better to pitch
the campaign on higher plane and
appeal to reason and not prejudice.

LAW ENFORCEMENT HABIT.

Commenting on the speedy trial ant
conviction OF a murderer in Canada
who had plead justification. the
Brooklyn Eagle says:
They have habit in Canada OF
hanging those who take human life
and they strangely persists in it even
when confronted with the pleas of
justification that so frequently pre-
vail elsewhere in similar cases. In
their ignorance the Canadians know
nothing, and, apparently. care less
about that useful institution, the un-
written law"
This same habit prevails every
where among the people who speak
the English language except in the
United States, where unfortunately
there is little respect for the law and
where it is as easy for a murderer to
escape the penalty for his crime as it
is for those to escape punishment who
are guilty of much less hienous Of
lenses. Human life is cheap in this
country 1t is not only cheaper here
than in any other English speaking
nation, but it is valued less highly
than in any other civilized nation
upon earth.
The people of the United States
have a perfect passion for legislation.
Nowhere in all the world are so many |
laws annually passed as find their way |
to the statute books in the states of .
this Union. Yet paradoxical as it /
may sound it is nevertheless true,
that nowhere in the world is there
less respect for the laws, all of which
in theory at least, are based on the
peoples will, than in this country In
they do not have the passion
for making laws that we have on this
side of the water, but they possess a
much more commendable trait, they
insist that all the laws shall be fairly
and impartially enforced.

TIE Road Law.

From our understanding Of th'
somewhat desultOry debate over tn
road question in the County Court las
Monday Il appears that the specia
read law enacted for this county in
1907 has not had a fair trial. The
.aw has not. II the facts were correct
ly stated. been properly enforced. For
these reasons IL appears TO US that
tie cOaIt should be slow about recon-
mendiEg a change until the present
statute has been given an opportunity
20 demonstrate its strong points. II
the law is defective in the caption, as
the County Attorney is inclined TO
think, it can easily be remedied by
amendment.
The Herald is not particularly
enamored of the present law and it
has no special system to foster, but it
believes that there are some good
features in the Act of 1907 that should
be retained. To substitute the so
called general road law of the State
without carefully investigating all of
its provisions and thoroughly apply
ing them in theory to conditions
in this county would be step of very
doubtful wisdom. A law that will
suit other counties might prove to be
wholly unsatisfactory in Maury coun-
ty.
The fact is that for more than thir-
ty years the Legislature has been |
trying to enact a general road law
that would prove satisfactory through
out the State. It's failure to do so
is attested by the fact that every two
or four years another general"
statute has been enacted. But this
Is not all the evidence of failure to
enact a law that will meet the varying
conditions and needs of the different
counties of the State. During the
past twenty years special acts ap-
1licable to one county only have, been
placed upon the statute books at the
ate of from two to half dozen at
very biennial session of the Legisla-
ure, until now there are a score and
more of special road laws in effect in
tennessee and it is safe to say that
fter the adjournment of the next Leg
stature there will be several more.
Failure to enact a general statute
pplicable alike to all the ninety-six
ounties of the State that would prove I,
to all is due to the great
Inference in the nature of the country
Tennessee. A law that
ould be suited to the needs of the II
eople of a mountain county in East
ennessee where the face of the coun- q
y is rough and where the popula- T
on is sparce, would not meet the o
emands of a generally level and pop q
Gus county like Maury For these 81
asons it would appear the part of
isdom to cure such defects in the a
'esent law as exist or may from time 81
time be discovered and give it a M
ir and impartial trial before en-
acing another system.

Murdered by a Statue.

The death Of ZENITH, the half-myth-

to fashion statue filled with auto

CONSUMPTION

Consumption. is not always an in

morbid product in the lungs as the re-
OF imperfect nutrition, and this in

TEACH BY EXAMPLE
GOOD METHOD OF Installing
TABLE MANNERS"
Children Will Unconsciously Copy the
Actions of Their Elders-Plan
That Worked Successfully
in One Family.

There is very little of the doing
unto others as you would that others
should. do unto you" in the bringing
up OF children, q fact which children
learn sooner or later and instructive
~ resent under the consciousness OF
lack Of fair play" somewhere, or
somehow. but which they are too I'M
developed to rightly place. The
greater part of their poor little lives
is hedged around with a spiky fence
of don is" that would soon bring on a
case of nervous prostration for their
elders if similarly tortured.
Now, If, as modern thinkers be-
lieye, children as a rule are uncon-
scious copy cats it is reasonable to
assume that good deal of training
and guiding may be well done by the
example set them by their elders
rather than by the irritating system of
"don'ts" and "spanks" that fill these
small lives TO overlooking.
To interest a child in its own ere
form is to see that reform" more
than half accomplished, and without
battle, murder and sudden death as
an accompaniment.
In view of this interest | am going
TO suggest a simple, pleasant and sue
cessfu system" of instilling table
manners into the education of the
average child that was carried on TO a
happy issue in a certain family of
my acquaintance.
Each child, from the youngest to the
Oldest, was given a weekly allowance
ranging from three cents for the
youngest to ten cents for the oldest, of
- years. For certain things-a
breach Of table etiquette, for instance
Ia fine was imposed that involved
the grown-ups as well as the children.
For each spot on the table cloth a
penny was forfeited; also, for reach
ing across the table for anything, or,
for playing with knife. fork, spoon,
napkin ring, glass or cup. Hands
were supposed to be folded in the lap
when not engaged with knife or fork
in eating.
For any Of the above misdemeanors
the grown-ups We're expected to pay a
penny all around TO the children, but
the children gave up one penny only
If grown-up CHANGED to upset cup
of tea or coffee the accident was greet
ed with a comical shout of joy upon
the part of the children. for this
meant five cents all around. and young
eyes danced with the prospect Of
these riches. Spot pennies" could
be won back by the children for good
behavior between meals, but they
were never excused from paying the
penalty when the occasion arose to
give it. Under the fun an ironclad
rule existed which the little judges
soon learned to recognize and respect,
because it was fair play
For the sake of teaching children
familiarity with the nicer table APP
pointments, SO that their parents will
never be mortified when guests are
present and children are expected to
dust their table manners and put
them on for the occasion, whether the
mother has one maid or none, bread
and butter plates finger bowls and
immaculate linen should be in daily
use
