The Rerea College Case.

TO The Nashville Globe.
The Supreme Court of the United
States in it's recent decision in the
"Berea College Case" has done about
the same thing that was done by that
high tribunal in the "Dred Scott Case"
when the opinion was delivered by
Chief-Justice fancy, who held that
Negroes had no rights which white
men were bound to respect The re-
cent decision is as inconsistent and
far-reaching in it's narrow, proscrip-
tive sense as was its ante-bellum pre-
decessor; but it is wholly within the
truth to say that it is more so, for the
reason that at the time the "Dred
Scott opinion was rendered the Ne
gro was not constitutionally recog-
nized as a citizen Of the body polite
as he is to-day, or nominally so, under
the provisions of the Thirteenth, Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments OF
the National Constitution.
There is a striking similarity in The
tenor of the two decisions, though rem
dered under entirely different circum
stances and conditions-two distinc
epochs. of national history-when tn

STATE RIGHTS.

AT the very foundation of the United
States Of America, the question arose
as to where the rights of state ceased
and where those of the Federal Gov
eminent begun. This question Of
state rights" has been a bone of con-
tentiOn since then. The Civil War
was supposed to have settled it forever
and day, but it bobs up as serenely
as a Chinese joss to protect those who
at one time would have none of state
rights"
In the North and East trust mag
mates are hiding behind state rights"
to shield them from the prosecution of
the Federal Government. But in the
South and West, where the democrats
have more sway, there is a leaning to-
wards the doctrine of a stronger cen
tralized government. The guaranty
of bank deposits and a national child
labor law, which Mr.. Bryan advocates,
doubtless make Thos. Jefferson, the
father of state rights" turn over in
his grave.
In the South, which does not at
heart coincide with many of the theo
ries of Mr. Bryan, the gradual drift
to Capitalization Of power is evident
in the statewide prohibition move.
ments. Men who claim to be "Jeffer
sonian Democrats" descend from the
original breed, demand with compla
cency that the states as a whole abol
ish the rights of a community.
AS for our part, we are glad to see
the growth of the Capitalization Of
power idea and we hope it will moi
stop until the Governors of all the
states will be empowered TO go into
counties without waiting for a re
quest from the sheriff for assistance
and enforce the laws. We hope to SEE
the day come when the upright ele
ment of the states may, through theil
Governors, go behind the local senti
ment which protects them and bring
night-riding murderers to justice. w,
hope to see the day come when a gov
eminent that will spend millions t,
protect one Of it's citizens in a foreign
country will be able to do something
for that same citizen when he is OF
his native heath.

FOUND UNDER MATTRESS.

Riding nineteen miles across coun-
try Monday night Sheriff Sam Borum,
Deputy Sheriff Frank Starks, of Da-
wilson County, accompanied by Deputy
Nevills, of Williamson County, ar
rested Sam Spratt, wanted in this
county on the charge of murder. 1t
is charged that on the night of Oct.
10 a number of men we're engaged
in a difficulty in Express Alley. Dur
ing the fight Ben Hill was struck on
the head with a brick and stick,
thought to be a baseball bat, and
rendered unconscious. He was taken
to the City Hospital and died day
or SO later. Warrants were sworn out
for Ed Brown and Spratt, resulting
in the immediate arrest of Brown.
Spratt departed and has been at
large until located and arrested by
Sheriff Borum Monday night, about
twenty-five miles from Franklin, in
Williamson County.
Sheriff Borum learned Monday
that Spratt was in Williamson Coun-
ty with his wife. The Sheriff left at
6 O'Clock Monday evening, rode sew
eral miles across a broken section OF
Williamson County and found his
man. He was in bed, not only in bed
but hiding between the Stats and the
straw tick, with his wife lying there
very unconcerned, as if nothing un
usual were about to happen.
Through the courtesy Of the Louis

WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING1

Unrestrained and unpublished crime
has been and is so rampant in this
state that Tennessee is fast displacing

world as a dark and bloody" place
where human life is regarded as a
mere bauble. Homicides, wide open
lynchings, night rider depredations &C.
cur with such frequency and are so sell
dom adequately punished that the ques-
ton naturally arises where will it
all end?"
Here in the city of Nashville, with
its estimated population of $4,000,
more murders are committed in six
months than in the great city of Lon
don, with it's more than 100000 in
habitants, in twelve months Why this
great difference? Is it that Tennessee
is still frontier state? Or, is it
that men are led to take human life
because our humane jurors never vote
to hang the most red-handed murderer
as long as the criminal is able to work
and prove a source of income to our
state prison system? We know not
whether these be the causes of our
frightful murder record, but we do
know that too few murderers are
hanged by authority of the law.
Lynchings seem to be a pasttime in
Tennessee. Every reader of The Globe
will doubtless recall the Murfreesborc
and Pulaski cases where the victims
were Negroes. All will remember now
in the Pulaski case several of the
members of the mob admitted their
participation in the killing of the
boy, yet the Grand Jury brought in
the same old hacknied verdict: Me-
his death at the hands of unknown
parties" But now comes the case Of
a white man in Roane County. The
mob with it's accustomed defiance o.
every law, went into the Jail at Rock
wood and shot the prisoner to death
In this case as in the others practi
cally nothing has been done to brinI

so successfully opposed the govern

be able to do more with the Cubans
than Palma because he is closer to

The license Minister.

r iS one of the characteristic ef- fleets of intoxicating liquor. that it af- fleets the eyes. It causes men to see double. Co see snakes. and to fail to see what they ought to see. This is the physical consequence of drink. The mental vision is in like manner warped by drink and association with liquor. Conscience and judgment both suffer deterioration in those who are connected either directly or indirect Iy with the liquor habit. The advo- cates of the saloon delight to quote the utterances of certain ministers of the gospel in favor of the license sys- tenn. or in advocacy of the moral and spiritual remedy for the drink habit as against any attempt to cure appe- tite by legislation. as though these ut terances were favorable to the saloon. There are two essential facts to which the friends of the saloon seem strange ly blind. First, that every one of these ministers is in favor of temer- ance and opposed to drinking. accept ing the license system solely because it seems to them to promise some re- struction of the sale of liquor. Sec ond, they fear prohibition simply be- cause they recognize the fact that the liquor business is everywhere in the hands of law breaking, interruptions and selfish men who cannot be trusted to obey the statutes or regard the welfare or the good name of their community. They vote for license only because they believe that the liquor seller can be more easily and closely watched and more readily convicted

 But on April Nr. Broadbecll was discharged without a sign of mental weakness in spite of his advanced age. Moreover he does not appear to have undergone a mental lapse during the period including his arrest trial and commitment He recalls the slightest details of all, even to unimportant conversations he had had with various persons. His relation of his eXperi- ences was perfectly coherent. He said he was in the asylum a week before he discovered what kind of an institution it was He had been told at the of flee of the probate court that he was to be sent to the territorial hospital: He resisted being taken there for the reason he says that he was not 1ii and was desfrous of returning to his home. But after he was placed in the asylum he was kept closely confined for some time and had no opportunity to talk with any one.

It is unthinlable. These men do not live in the same at

What fellowship have they with those whose sole work is to poi son society and destroy the bodies and souls of men? The men who make such use of the utterances of minis ters are either too blinded by drink to see where these men really stand. or they are too corrupt to care. IL is the rankest hypocrisy to pretend that these religious teachers and leaders are in any sort of agreement with the drink evil. No. The ministers who favor license. as a choice Of evils, do so because they believe liquor dealers cannot be trusted and that unless they become secret law breakers and crim- inaIs more difficult to convict and control With this correct understand ing of the ministers motive and his estimate of the liquor selling frater- nifty. the publicity committee of the saloon interests is welcome to make further quotations.

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE IN HE STATE OF KANSAS
The Results of Two Score Years of Prohihition.


 If prohibition don't prohibit" why do the brewers and distillers move heaven and earth to defeat prohibition legislation?
 When the supporters of the saloon are making comparisons odious to the cause of prohibition, why do they al- ways use Maine as a representative oi the prohibition side? Why don't they use Kansas in comparison with the saloon cursed state?
 Because the effects of prohibition in Kansas would give the lie to their con- tention. Kansas today has twenty seven poor houses without tenants. and many more whose tenants are so few they are lonesome; these condi tions are found only in counties where no saloon exists.
 A few years ago Kansas had a dem ocratic governor-G Glick-and very re- spectacle governor he was. too. He wanted d second term and his support CTS. being constitutionally opposed to prohibition. decided the time was ripe to re-submit the question to the vot- CTS. as they believed Kansas was tired of prohibition; they didn't dare to put it in their platform. but they adopted the battle cry of Click and Resubmissidt, win the result of a ter rible defeat.
