PruriencY and PeIf.

From the Louisville ColricrJ0urnal.
OF course, the best way 10 kill immortl
literature would be TO destroy the will
ingness Of readers TO peruse It and TO
dissuade all writer's from writing 1t. II
you could reach the readers and the writ
ers you wouldn't have to bother about
the publishers and booksellers. The read
ers and the authors make the publishers
and sellers possible. II is because pco-
pie do read the rot" that writer's stoop
20 earn a dishonest fortune by turning
II out. and II is because the readers and
the authors exist that the publishers and
sellers do their worst. The reason of
the prurient novel, It is plainly TO be seen,
is its power as a money-maken The
combined producers Of 1t are simply after
filthy lucre. They sell their good name
FOR gold in sending a foul book out.
They barter away the respect of decent
people in return for their victims money.

CARMACK TO Be
CHIEF ORATOR
AT LAUNCHING OF THE CAM
PAlGN FOR A sALooNLEss
STATE
GRAND RALLY At NASHVILLE
Will Be Held March ~, When
Fight Will Be Opened FoV
Prohibition.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. March 4.-Sen-
ator E. W. Carmack will be the prin-
cipal speaker at the launching Of the
campaign for statewide prohibition
in Nashville, March IL.
The meeting will be held at Wat
kins Hall, and the arrangements are
being now perfected under the aus
pieces of the Davidson County w. G..
+. u.
Senator Carmack has a strong hold
on the temperance people Of Tennes-
see for his vigorous attitude in the
past OF temperance legislation, and
since two years ago, when it was as
serted in his campaign for renomina-
ton to the senate that the whisky in
terests of the state were lined up
against him, he declared that il he
was defeated by the saloon men, he
intended to see that he would be the
last man in Tennessee the saloons
ever defeated for public ONCE.
It is intended that this meeting shall
be a grand rally bringing nearer to-
gether the various forces that are
working for statewide prohibition.
Members of the local unions and all
interested in the cause of temperance
are urged to attend. The ministers
Of the city are thoroughly in sympa-
thy with the movement as evidenced
In a resolution passed at the Minis
ters' Alliance on Monday morning at
the First Presbyterian church.
All members of the W. G. T. o. are
also requested to attend the lecture
to be given by Rev. George Stuart
at the Tabernacle on March IS, I'M

Representative democrats from all

and condemned in no uncertain Ian
guage the recent action. of the State
Democratic Executive Committee in
refusing the demands of the demo
Gratis of Tennessee for direct pri-
mary to nominate candidate for
Governor and other state officers.
The mass meeting was held during
an interim OF the meeting of the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee and was
attended with no little enthusiasm.
The following resolutions, which were
introduced by e. H. Hatcher, were
adopted with only one dissenting
voice among the many hundreds of
democrats presents:
BE it resolved that we as Demo
Gratis of Maury County, assembled in
in Columbia on this, the End day OF
March 1908, emphatically condemn
the action of the partisan majority Of
the State Democratic executive COM
mittee in calling what they term "a
delegated primary to select candi-
dates for the Offices of governor,
judges, ETC., instead Of calling direct,
general primary for that purpose.
1--WE condemn such action for the
following reasons, to-wit:
cd. Because the majority of said
committee arbitrarily and ruthlessly
defied the wishes of large majority
of the Democrats Of the State, as was
evidenced by the demands of the va
rious county executive committees Of
nearly every county In the State, and
by more than 900 Of the Democratic
newspaper organs Of Tennessee,
yoicing the will of the people.
"(2). Because the so-called dele
gated primary, as ordered by the par
tisan friends of Governor Patterson,
Is not hedged In or controlled by any
legal restrictions whatever, so that
there is no legal protection against
fraud and Illegal voting, although
there is a statute of Tennessee in
force to prevent fraud and illegal
voting in party primaries
"(3). Because the action Of the
partisan majority Of the State COM
mittee withdrew from the democratic
voters of each county in the state the
right Of selecting their

BIG STICK OVER.
1CASTRO'S HEAD
VENEZUELAN TOLD THAT HI
MUST SUBMIT DISPUTES TO
ARBITRATION.
BUT HE FLATLY REFUSED TO DO so
President Roosevelt Prepares to Make
Show Of Force.-Trust
Fine.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The
department has sent President Castro
of Venezuela an unqualified demand
that he submit all matters in dispute
between this country and Venezuela
to arbitration.
President Castro has refused un-
conditionally to accept the demand.
The administration is now in a posi-
ton where it must make a display OF
force or recede from its attitude and
resubmit the causes of the quarrel
back to the state department. The
administration has taken practically
the stand that the asphalt trust is in
the right in its controversy with Cas-
tro, and has substantially made its
cause the governments.
1t was learned tonight that the
President is preparing for a display
of force. Events in connection with
this disagreement are moving with
great rapidity. and developments Of
interest are looked for any day.
Army and navy officers expect any
day now to get orders for a movement
against the South American republic.
There are six prominent cases at is-
sue, and the most importnt of these
is the fine of 100000 imposed upon
the asphalt trust by President Castro.
The first decisive step was taken
last week, when Secretary of State
Root instructed United States Minister
Russell in Caracas to make a demand
upon Castro en- bloc for arbitration OF
all questions in dispute. In case Cas-.
tro had answered that the proceed
ings we're irregular, Russell was to
make a definite stand upon each in
dividual case. This was done, and
Castro refused point blank both the
en- bloc and the individual offers.
The state department has gone as
far as it can while congress is in
session 1t would be useless to exc
pect the President to take any step
of war or any act similar to war while
congress is in session, that body hav-
ing the right to declare war. 1t is
a fast crystalizing opinion, however,
that II Castro and the United States
are not blufing serious trouble is
bound to develop. The honor of each
nation Is involved.
