OF COURSE NOT.

OF course Mr.. Greer did not accept
The invitation of his opponent to
leave the question of the regularity
Of his nomination to the decision of
the Democratic State Committee. No
reasonable person could have ex-
pected him to do so. The Democratic
State Committee was not selected by
the party to determine local contests.
As a matter of fact the Democrats

committee. They had no more to do
with the election Of the State Com

twenty-one members of the State

Chairman of Bans convention at /

remaining members were elected,
many of them by the delegates Sc

allegiance to know Democrat save Ban

VOTE FOR BRYAN.

Democrats. see to ii that when you
go to the polls next Tuesday you
mark the twelve electors under the
names of Bryan and Kern. Mark all
twelve for should you fail to do so
you will cast only fraction of vote
for the great Democratic leader, who
is making the most gallant fight In
the history OF this country against the
combined forces of graft and privi-
lege; of high finance and predatory
wealth.
There should be no reason for
alarm in Tennessee concerning the
Presidential ticket but for the per-
fidity of those temporarily in charge
of the State machine. But The Herald
warns you that there is real danger.
Do not take chances. 1t would be an
everlasting reproach to the Democra-
cy of Tennessee if Bryan should lose
the Presidency through your failure
to vote.
The negroes who will be marched |
to the polls under the orders of the
machine are going to vote for Taft.
Don't forget that Vote the whole
ticket, if you can, but if you cannot
take the entire dose" vote for Bry-

great principle is involved in this cam {

CANNOT COMPLAIN.

Patterson partisans In Davidson
county cannot complain that the re
form element of the party, those Dem
ocrats who believe that the people and
not the representative of beer fac
tory are the source of all power, have
gone outside the party lines to make
their fight for decency and temper
ance. Pattersons close personal and
political friend, the "keynoter' of the
lamented State convention, Maj.
Wright, has organized a bolt in Mem
phis; the Patterson appointees have
organized a bolt in this Senatorial
district and Patterson partisans are
trying to defeat the Democratic nom
inees for the House in this county. 1t
does not therefore lie in the mouth or
the Governors devoted partisans in
Davidson county to cry traitor" at
the brave and able gentlemen who
have been nominated by the reform
ers.
So far as the personneI of the two
tickets are concerned the reformers
in Davidson county have decided
advantage. No man In Tennessee sus-
tains higher character than John
H. Dewitt, who heads the ticket. His
public and private life will bear the
closest scrutiny. He is a Democrat
out like many others of the old fash
on variety he does no subscribe to
he modern doctrine that the people
nave no right to tell their represen-
atives what they would have them do.
although the others on the ticket are
lot so well known to the people of the
State as Mr.. Dewitt they are all gen.
lemen Of high character and will
make capable representatives.

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

Every Democrat in Maury county
should go to the polls next Tuesday.
It is duty that every good citizen
owes his country. No elector should
fail to exercise the right of suffrage,
the highest privilege of an American
citizen. Do not shirk this duty. And
when you go to the polls do not fail
to mark the legislative nominees. 1t
is important to vote for all the
nominees and The Herald advises all
Democrats to do SO. However, should
there be candidates upon the ticket
for whom you will not vote, do not
make that an excuse for remaining
away from the polls. If you cannot
"go the whole hog" to use a homely
expression, swallow as much of it as
you can.
Especially does The Herald urge
you to vote for the Legislative nom
inees. See that you place a cross
mark opposite the names of Greer
and Lipscomb and Galloway. The
closer an official is to the people the
more important it is that no mistake
be made in his selection. The Legis-
lature is closer to the people than
any other department OF the State
government. 1t is more important
that good men and true, those who
will correctly interprete and act upon
the will of the people, and who will
serve no interest but the interest of
all the people, shall be elected to the
Legislature, than that a statesman
should be Governor or the most emf
nent jurists should serve upon the
bench.
1t ought not to require any argu- ,
ment and but little pleading to get .
Democrats to support the Legislative
nominees in this county. The cand-
date for Senator, John A. Greer. is :
worthy the Office to which he aspires !.
II elected to the Senate he will serve
no interest but that of all the people.
He Is a true Democrat, believing in
the rule Of the people and the con-
stitutional rights and powers of the a
three departments OF the State gov q
ernment His title TO the nomination G
should be unquestioned e
Little need be said In behalf OF the Il
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1908-10-30

1t should be gratifying to every
Democrat in the county to know that
for the ensuing two years the machin-
cry of the party will be conducted by
true Democrats who are thoroughly
in sympathy with those who have
directed the affairs of the party with
much signal ability and patriotism
during the past two years. 1t is also
gratifying to know that there is to
be no unseemly scramble for the Of
fees of committeeman. The fact that
but one ticket has been placed in the
field in twenty-five of the twenty-five
districts shows that the people ap-
prove the course of the Committee
during the past two or four years and
is striking testimonial to the gen.
tlemen who have guided and directed
1t.

UPHOLD THE LAW.

That there is a decided trend to
anarchy in the South, which has been
repeatedly manifested during the past
TWO or three years, is evident. This
sentiment to defy the law; to substi-
tute personal vengeance for the ma
chinery devised by law for the rectify-
ing of wrongs, to correct evils, real
or imaginary, by violence, reached
its elimination this week in the cruel,
cowardly and wanton murder of Capt.
Quinten Rankin on the banks of Reel
! foot Lake in West Tennessee and in
the attempt to murder his companion,
Col r. T. Taylor. These men were of
the highest type of citizens. Neither
ever Intentionally did harm to any
man. Their walk in life had been
clean and conventional. Because, |
however they represented interests |
which certain citizens held to be /
inimical to their welfare, they were
foully dealt with, the laws defied and
the State Of Tennessee disgraced.

DEFENDING The KISS.


There is no worthier cause or one
more deserving Of support than the
crusade which physicians and scien-
! lists are making against the dread white
plague. Within recent years it has
been demonstrated that not only is
tuberculosis a durable disease, but it
is a preventable disease and through
the unselfsh and devoted efforts of
those who have freely given their time
and labor and money to study and
Investigation thousands of lives have
/ been saved. The recent world wide
congress on tuberculosis held at the
Nations capital was one of the most
important meetings ever held in this
Or any other country. That its re-
suits will prove a blessing to all hui
nanity none will deny
Humanity will applaud and approve
The efforts which were outlined there
20 stop the rayages of the dread dis
4ase and in the main the recommen /
lations of the experts will appear
reasonable and wholly justified by the +
nature of the foe to be conquered.
However, there is one recommends
ion that will not meet popular favor.
it is this admonition: do not kiss;
can be communicated by
kissing The Courier-Journal rush
IS to the defense of the kiss and sub
mits these observations to which we
subscribe with all possible emphasis:
Science presumes too far when it
kinks it may stop a kiss by threat
9ning the performers with a tubercu- {
osis germ. The germ is somewhat a
lespot, but he and his physicians can {
10 more accomplish the downfall and
extinction of the kiss than a woman $
With broom can sweep the clouds t
ut of the heavens. The sign quoted
bove is, therefore, a waste of thought, b
ime and material Being futile it
-as unnecessary and, having been IL
it's employment becomes v
n offense, for it tends to take the :
oetry out of a kiss and to vulgarize I
which undoubtedly is an offense
darkest hue. If there is anything
aeing that it cannot be abolished -
lat should be glorified, idealized and y
lalted. it is the kiss. Do otherwise 81
Id you rob literature of some of its
'eatest beauty, history of its finest
you simply take the bloom Ia
ght out of everything that has been
orth while. Make the kiss merely &C
and think to what ue
pths sinks the tale of Leander, who
,am the Hellespont to kiss the fair ins
70. And Romeo and Juliet, Paola tn,
d Francesca, Ulysses and Calypso, de,
nte and Beatrice, Aucassin and ,
and all the other kissers re-
loever kissed, become but gross /,
.f1ckers in germs.
If the kiss is unromantic, what is
ere in life that is romantic? For
sake of the sentiment of the L
ng, which is but an offshoot of love, MA
ich is the greatest thing in the cal
rid, the tuberculosis experts should I
e down their signs and recall their Coz
rnings. What cannot be ended esti
st be endured and what must be j
ured might as will be made the son
