LET US ALONE.

Answering the plea Of the Jackson
whig. a supporter BY the way OK
GOV Patterson. for the election Ola
Legislature that will pass a state
wide prohibition law. the Nashylle
saloon organ. lifts its hands and cries
,loua: Let us alone" 1t makes the
stock argument, so often heard, that
the LIQUOR question is purely local
,sspe and since the cities which now
have the saloon have voted against
nrobibition II would be un-Democratic
II the members elected from dry terri
tory should force prohibition upon
them.
But is it fair TO ask the rural sec
t;ons ana the cities which have ban
ished the saloon to let the liquor deal
ers of Nashville and Memphis ana
Chattanooga alone. when the liquor
interests have refused to let alone or
respect the edict of the people OF sucn
localities? The three cities mentioned
,n defiance ofspublic sentiment, are
doing all in their power to break down
and destroy the temperance laws al
ready upon the statute books. Tne
brewers and distillers and dealers OF
Nashville are constantly flooding Mid
die Tennessee counties with liquor
WHY not let us alone?
when the peoples representatives
passed. over the strenuous opposition
Of the liquor dealers, law to coniine
he operations of the traffic to the
immediate community ia which II Is
located did the organ support tnat
law? Did it not approve the Cover
nor's veto of it? The liquor dealers
now as in the past have shown that
they will not obey or observe any law
that does not promote their interests
or which seeks to abridge their pow
er. They have not let US alone, then
what obligation are we under to let
them alone? This is the answer OF
the people of the prohibition territory
to the plea Of the liquor organ.
1t is true the liquor question Is
local one. but the locality embraces
all that territory affected by the bus
mess. Just so long as the liquor deal
ers food the state with liquors ana
attempt in every possible way to dis
credit and destroy laws to restrict
ana destroy the trade, the people will
have a right to additional legislation.
If the liquor dealers would show
the slightest respect for the senu-
ment of four-ffths of the people OF the
state: if they had any regard tor
laws which govern their business m
ninety-nine out of every hundred miles
Of territory in Tennessee, they might
with some reason ask the people to
let them alone. In other words, II the
liquor dealers of Memphis and Nash
Vile and Chattanooga would let alone
the people of the other ninety-three
counties, these people might for a
time at least respect their plea to be
let alone,

According to statistics recently
compiled the average salary OF the
ministers of Indiana is only $588 per
annum. This is about 500 more than
the average salaries of the Methodist
preachers of the Tennessee Confer
ence but Indiana is a Weather State
than Tennessee; it has more urban
population the cost of living is high
err. so that all things considered the
pay in that State for preachers is no
better than in Tennessee, where II Is
admittedly too small. When the large
salaries paid in the city charges are
taken into consideration it is evident
that there are a large number OF Ia
borers in the vineyard who receive
much less than the average, in many
cases less than half that figure.

rArTs SPEECH.

IAF - 1FEENFAF
ai,houeh somewhat long FOR use
~ he purposes for which T. was in
tended a campaign document. the
speech OF acceptance Of Secretary
Taft is an exceedingly able presenta-
ton az the issues OF the campaign
from the Republican viewpoint. i IS
doubtful If a stronger argument WIN
he made why that party should be
continued in power than that made
bv its nominee for President Mt.
TAFT Is an able man and In many re-
spects is mach better qualified by ma
,pre 10 ill the exalted once which
ne seeks than the present chief execu-
tive. he has that .poise and judicial
mind which is so badly lacking IN
Mr. Roosevelt.
But Mr.. Taft weakened his whole
argument and discredited what was
otherwise a very logical campaign
document by a REPETITION of the long
exploded and time worn statement
that Republican success means pros
perity and Republican defeat would
necessarily be the signal for financiai
depression. How the amia0le eS
Secretary can expect any man OF In
telligence to believe this silly conten-
ton in the light of the experience OF
the past six or eight months is beyond
comprehension. Such statement
coming from the high source that II
does is nothing less than deliberate
reflection upon the intelligence OF the
American electorate.
The panic of 1907 came after the
Republican party had been in com
plete control Of the government for
ten years. That party may not be
responsible for the panic, but 1t can
NOT argue that the Democrats caused
the panic fourteen years earlier ana
escape accountability for the depres-
sion of 1907. To repudiate the panic
Of 1907 the Republicans must admit
The fallacy and hypocracy OF their
charge against the Democrats for the
last dozen years and which has been
the "chiefest" reason for the success
of that party. The fuli dinner pail
fallacy has been the most potent ar
gument vet advanced by the Republ1-
cans. 1t has been completely ana
finally exploded; the people have dis
covered from bitter experience that
manic under a Republican is by nc
means improbable but has actually oc-
Cured.
Republican leaders, despite the
aambouyant declarations of the party
nominee. realize that the panic argu-
ment and the full dinner pail fallacy
have lost their potency, and have APP
healed to the trust and railroad mag
mates and other captains OF High
Finance to make liberal contribu-
ton to the Republican campaign by
restoring prosperity" during the
months proceeding the election. m
stead of turning over the accustomed
"slush' fund of six or ten millions to
be used in debauching the electorate,
the Wall street crowd will set the
wheels of industry to moving at fun
blast about September /, and create
a temporary or "expedient' pros
perity which will last until the bal
lots are deposited two months later.
Then the voters can take care OF
themselves as best they can until the
next election.
