in Tennessee has progressed
from an educational standpoint
just in proportion as the war
upon the liquor traffic has been sue,
cessful.
In every county in Tennessee the
/ teachers are more efficient, better paid
aud better qualified than they were
ten years ago. In every line the pub
lie school interests have advanced
and improved. The tax levies are
greater, the revenues more, the terms
longer and the teachers better paid
than ever before In this state. All
that the schools of ninety-two coun-
ties receive from the saloons today
is what the state distributes under the
Chestnut law, and the total revenue of
all the saloons in Tennessee will not
pay half Of this appropriation on the
first day of next January.
In view of these facts, which are
sustained by official records easily &C
cessible to any person, how vain is
the boasting Of the liquor emmissary |
that the saloon revenue is necessary |
to maintenance of the public schools.
Prohibition will mean yet greater
for our public schools.
tends to the improvement
Of the public schools is blessing to
he state: whatever impairs them
should and must be destroyed

partments OF the city saloon. He hen
told Of the corruption and fraud n
the city elections as a res-it % the
strong hold the saloons hare on his
large majority Of tn voters.
Mr. Tate then stated tE-t Re vas in
favor OF local self government, but
said he did not want to ne misunder-
stood in the statement. Every com
munity has a right TO govern itself and
every community is as large rs the
question TO be decided and every ques-
zion is as large as the community. He
showed how the regulation Of the
y~lome pertains to the parents alone
and outsiders, who should interfere,
would be interlopers. That questions
affecting a community alone, such as
the erection Of a school building, are
as large as the community and no
larger and only the people of the com
munity have a right to control that
location. Coming down to the liquor
question he said in Tennessee the liq-
uor question started at the door of the
saloon and reached as far as every
hack line and every express company
carried the jugs and the bottles filled
with the poison that robs men of their
manhood, their strength their health,
fhni lie PnT11
door of the saloons in Memphis Nash
Vile, Chattanooga and Lafollette to
the most rural districts of the state.
The question is therefore as large as
large as the state and the people of the |
state must deal with it and will deal !
with it.
The speaker then turned to the law
and defined constitutional law and
statutory law. He said constitutional
law was the mind Of God working in
the affairs of men. Ages ago God
said Thou shalt not steal" and from
that day until this no civilized coun-
try had dared to pass laws legalizing
or regulating stealing. Under consti-
tutioral law you could regulate a good
thing, for good thing was sometimes
out Of place and needed regulating, but
no bad thing could ever be constitu-
tionally regulated or legalized. God |
said ages ago Thou shalt not COM
nit adultery" and from that day to
this no civilized country has ever
passed laws legalizing adultery for
the mind of God working in the af
fairs of man said Thou shalt not"
Ages ago God said Woe to him who
giveth his neighbor strong drink Woe
neighbours lips. Strong drink bitteth
ike a serpent; it stingeth like an adj
ier" The mind of God working in 2
he affairs of man said the liquor is
wrong. Thou shalt not" And from
hat day to this no country has ever
.onstitutionally passed laws legalizing
IT regulating the sale of strong drink,
nd no country could constitutionally :
ass such laws. -
In the course of his remarks Mr.. :,
ate said the w C. T. U. was in this
reat prohibition fight not until June :,
It'll alone but until temperance leg b.
stature had been elected in November
nd until a statewide prohibition law :,
ad been either passed or defeated. j.
