COLLEGE BRED WOMEN.
Higher Education Does Not Unfit
Them for Domestic Life.

In a recent number of popular
magazine there is a brief exposition
by the heads of seven American col
leges, devoted exclusively to the high
er education of women, of the ideals
aimed at by the woman colleges and
concerning the life mission of the COL
lege-bred woman. There is not a
very great diversity of view among
the seven distinguished educators in
the setting forth of the results broad
ly aimed at in the higher education
of women. Service to her generation,
to her race-that, in nutshell, is the
ideal for their graduates at which the
women's colleges are aiming. This
thought of service and of a highly
trained capacity for service is express
ed in practically every one of the
papers contributed under the head
ing of What Kinds of Young Women
Our Leading American Colleges Are
Aiming to Produce"
The sweet girl graduate is finish
ed product, but not a society orna-
ment; not simply and merely for dec
orative purposes. She has been train
ed to work. One president of cele-
brated New England institution de-
clares ''the colleges have no SYM
pathy with the view that it is undig-
nified to work; rather, they believe
that it is beneath the dignity of a
human being not to work" The head
of another institution that is main
tanning a high level in the education
of women believes that the higher ed
cation for women '@is substituting for
the weak and vain ambitions of what
is called society ambitions worthy of
spiritual and intellectual womanhood." :"
And another distinguished college
president expresses the view that for
the ideally trained woman service to
others is an essential condition of her
life and growth. Contact with noble
minds through study of books and
through personal association will make
her eager to throw herself into the
great struggle of humanity. Snob-
bishness, clannishness and self-seek-
ing have no place where truth reigns. F"
Not one of the college presidents
concurs in that view which has at
times been given expression, that a
college training units women for do
nestle Iife-for being wives, mothers
and the superintendent of homes. In
answering the question, What kind
of a woman should the college pro-
duce?" the head of Massachusetts,
woman's college replies: Women

COUNTING The BALLOTS.

There has been a good deal of mis-
understanding as to the method OF
counting the ballots in the primary on
June q. It has been the opinion of
many that the boxes containing the
votes would be sent to Nashville and
the ballots there counted by the Gov
ernor subcommittee. This is not the
case. The rules provide that the bal
lots shall be counted at the voting
places just as in ordinary election, but
all the returns are sent to Nashville
and there canvassed by the Governor S
subcommittee. Since however, this
committee has decided to violate one
provision of the primary plan and to
iuggle with the ballots even before
they are cast the public is inclined to
be skeptical as to the other rules be-
ing adhered to. But Gov. Patterson
has at last been driven to declare him
self on this point, and in his speech
at Memphis, he said;
1.-THE voting is tc be uniform, to
occur in all the counties on the same
day the 9th of June. Each candl-
date shall have equal representation
in Judges and clerks. Each will have
a watcher at the polls to witness the
casting and counting of the ballots.
The ballots will be counted at the
voting places in the counties and GER
tifed to by the election officers"
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1908-06-12

In his speech at Ripley Gov. Patter-
SON stated that the reason why the
county committees were stripped Of
their time Lonored and immemorial
rizhts TO control the election machin-
sry in the GubernatoriaI primary was
because these committees had been
iisloyaI to the constituted authorities
OF the party in having petitioned for
a direct primary. In other words,
Gov. Patterson frankly declares that
he would deny to the people and TO
their representatives the most cher
Ished right OF the English speaking
people. the right Of petition. From
The hour that the barons Of England
wrested the great charter from a ty-
-ant at Runnyme6e to this good hour
the right of petition has never been
denied or questioned. BY formal dec
laration Of the constitution of the Unit
ed states it is declared that the right
Of petition shall be forever inviolate.
1t has remained for Gov. Patterson,
after six centuries of freedom to en-
ulate the tyrant King John, and deny
the people the privilege Of peaceful pc
tition. And yet this man declares
that he is the saviour Of the Democrat
ic party, God save the mark!
There is hardly a principle of the par
~ that he has not denied and tram
pled under foot. Gov. Patterson
would tai; the farmers Of Shelby coun-
ty and deny them the right to repre-
sentation in the body which taxes
them; Gov. Patterson would deny to
the people of his home city the right
to elect their own officials in violation
of the sacred principle of local self
government for which Anglo Saxons
have freely given their lives on a hun
bred battle fields; Gov. Patterson
would deny the people the right to
petition the constituted authorities
a privilege bought with the blood OF
our forefathers. And yet he is held
up by the whiskey press as the living
Of the most cherished
principles of the Democratic party.

STARVING CHILDREN.

One-half the world does not know
how the other half lives, 1t is said.
Probably if the people knew more
about how their fellow citizens ala
live there would be less of suffering
and misery and unhappiness in the
world. Just a few days ago the we'll
TODD of New York discovered that
thousands of children on the East SIDE
we're literally starving to death. The
little ones were fainting at their desks
from sheer exhaustion. In some
cases, upon investigation, it was DIS
covered that they had not had any
thing to eat for forty-e1ght hours
When these facts were brought to the
attention Of the public an organized
effort was at once made. to alleviate
the conditions.
This suffering illustrates the extent
of the depression existing in business
conditions in New York City. In the
recent panic. as in all others from the
beginning of time, the poor were the
first to suffer. Seemingly it is always
those who are least able to bear them
upon whom the burdens of life tall
hardest It is the small craft that
always go down. The rich and we'll
TODD have suffered financial loss IN
the business depression that has eX-
isted for several months, but they were
able to bear their losses without real
invitations. With the poor, however,
the panic has meant loss of employ
lnient followed by actual suffering
This isgthe saddest feature OF the

which already existed among the poor

People have grown accustomed TO

ters of populations during the winter

cations on the East Side have brought

THE PURE FOOD SHOW.

No feature of the County Fair should
prove more interesting or OF greater
educational value than the proposed
pure food show. In his EFFORTS 10
have on exhibit that will be alike OF
value to the public and credit to the
fair General Manager McGaw de-
serves the hearty cooperation of the
merchants and citizens generally OF
the city and county. With the proper
effort there does not appear any gooo
reason why the first attempt OF this
kind here should not prove complete
success. Every one, dealers and con-
sinners alike, theoretically at least, Is
interested in the purity of the food
stufrs which are placed upon the mar
ket.
Nashville has had several pure 1000
shows and they have attracted inter
est and have given an opportunity 10
tho manufacturers of food products to
display in friendly rivalry, the merits
of their several products. Certainly
any enterprise that tends to promote
rivalry and competition in the making
and preparation of pure and whole
some foodstuffs is to be commended
and encouraged. Many OF the Ills
which affect human kind are due to
improperly prepared food and delete
rious mixtures. Hence any movement
having for it's object the encourage
ment of efforts to make purer and Bet
ter food stuffs is worthy of hearty
support.
Aside from these considerations the
nure food exhibit will contribute TO
the financial success of the fair. IL
will attract people whom the other
evhibits would not bring to the an
nual exhibit. 1t will also the better

PATTERSON. FEE REEoRMER.

about the most brazen effort Of the
machine organs to manufacture for
Gov. Patterson a record in office that
will bear public inspection is the claim
that he is entitled to credit for fee
reform in 1897. His Nashville organ
declares that the Governor then At
torney General of Shelby County, ap-
proved the fee reform legislation
enacted in 1897 which has saved the
state an enormous sum" according
to this authority. Now let us review
the facts. In 1897 the Legislature
passed what is known as the Jarvis
fee law which provided that the state
should not be liable for costs in GRIM
inal prosecutions unless there was
conviction except in limited number
of excepted cases. In other words to
be perfectly frank this law placed
premium upon the conviction of the
defendant. 1t said to the witness: II
you want your pay you must convict.
However at the same session, but
prior to the passage of the Jarvis law
there was passed a law placing the
ATTORNEYS General of the State on sal
aries of $4,000. At that time Patter-
son was receiving probably. $4,000
a wear in fees as Attorney General or
Shelby county. Did this reformer vol
UNFAIRLY surrender $500 of his COM
pensation for the public good and
come to Nashville and urge the pas
sage of salary law. Hardly. He
came to Nashville it is true but 1t
was for the purpose of defeating THIS
legislation He was the chief lobby
let against this reform which his or
gan says saved the State 100000
year or over $1,0O0,0O0 since it was
passed. Gov. Patterson will not deny
that he exhausted every effort to pre-
vent this savings But when the law
was passed despite his opposition he
went home and, contrary to the con-
stitution had the county court OF
Shelby county make him present OF
an extra salary Of $4,000.
Gov. Patterson had nothing what
ever to do with the Jarvis law. When
that measure was passed he was on a
salary and it did not affect him or his
Office in anyway 1t did not take from

ton or the compensation of any other
