ment is being played for all it is
worth to get postponement of action
by the legislature.
1t requires no great perspicacity to
discern the motive that prompts this
continual lingering. The assured,
STAYED off, is better than the assured
now. There is always chance that
something will intervene to effect the
result. The prisoner doomed to hang
believes that the pardon will come at
the last minute.
This is a practical age. Every
man twenty-one years of age is sup
posed to have a mind of his own.
Every possessor of a mind is pre-
sumed to have gotten the thinking
attachment with it. Therefore, 1t is
absurd to hope to change single vote
when the showdown comes. II Gov
ernor Patterson and Senator Cox can
not insure the passage of election laws
by their endorsement of them two
years ago, is 1t reasonable to suppose
that these same gentlemen can now
advance more telling argument on the
other side. The plea for time is all
bosh. Pass the election bills which
the people demand, and cut out the
gush.

LET THE KNEE FALL.

| Experience has shown that one OF
the greatest barriers to the enforce.
ment of prohibition laws is the incor.
poration of locker clubs. In Alabama
and other southern states where the
saloon has been driven out 1t has
been closely followed by clubs organ
lied in the name Of literature and
art" The alleged purpose Of these
clubs was the promotion of social in
tercourse among it's members and on
the surface they looked as harmless
as doves. In reality they were sub
terfuges formed for the sole purpose
of evading the law.
Without suggesting the proper
method of reaching these so-called
clubs The Herald suggests the neeeS
sity for legislation that will effectually
repress them. They should be put
out of business in the very shortest
possible order. To do this effec-
tually some law must be enacted
that will be applicable to all clubs
alike. If the institution which num-
bers among its members the effete
and elite is permitted to serve
liquors every other club should
have the same privilege. For
conditions to be different produces
class hatred. The best remedy is to
kill them ALL Let the knife fall.

tones demanding the submission OF
the whole question back to the people
their brethren over in the Lone Star
State are turning heaven and earth
to keep the people from voting for
the abolition of the saloon.
Under the Texas laws a two-thirds
vote of the legislature is necessary to
submit an amendment of the consti-
tuition to the voters. In the House
the majority faction, or the straight
out prohibitionists, lack but four
OF having the required two-thirds vote.
Yet in spite of all this the minority
has not only prevented submission,
but according to press dispatches hope
to be able to do so for the remainder
OF the session.

THE EDUCATIONAL BILL

The general educational bill now
pending before the General Assembly
deserves to become a law, as 1t nc
doubt will. 1t is an advance step that
will place Tennessee well to the front
along public educational lines.
The bill provides that thirty per
cent. of the gross revenue of the state
shall be appropriated to educational
purposes. The expenditure of the
sum is pro rated among the public
schools, the state university, the IL
brary association, and other adjuncts
and supplements to a well regulated
school system.
This measure has been carefully
prepared by the educators of the state,
whose sole interest in its passage is
the love which they have for the chill
dren of Tennessee No mercenary
motives can be attributed to
them, for it is common knowledge
that no class of men of equal capacity
are SO poorly paid or work so hard
AS the public school teachers. From
the president of the State University
down to the humblest professor" Of
back woods school there is not a
teacher who is not a factor in empire
building, in it's broadcast sense.
A meritorious feature of the bill is
the provision for the establishment of
four normal schools, three for whites, |
one in each grand division Of the state,
and one for negroes. Another feature
which is commendable is an appropria-
lion of $3.50 per annum by the state
Tor the payment of salaries of county
of education, pro-
yided the county appropriates an equal
AMOUNT.
The bill makes the school system a
complete educational chain, extending
rom the entrance of the elementary
,rade to the exit from the state uni
'ersity. Plainly put 1t grants about
1.20 per capital for public school edu-
alton instead of the SO cents now
iven. The only question to be con-
idered is whether or not the state ;
can stand the strain. 1t Is :
elieved that it can. There could be
o better investment for Tennessee. :

THE MESSAGE.

President Roosevelt on yesterday
again exercised the prerogatives OF
his Office by sending message to Con
gress. This is not the first time that
Mr.. Roosevelt has taken this liberty
with the law making body of the Unit
ed States. Inasmuch as a bill along
the lines indicated in the message is
already being drawn 1t appears on the
first glance that the chief executive of
the land was just a little hasty in
snatching the glory that should be
enough for ALL" Casting these con-
sfderations aside, as inconsequential,
the message was a timely document.
II by the installation OF the wireless
telegraph on ocean liners the loss of
human life can be minimized Il is i'm.
perative that financial considerations
should not be considered welghty
enought to permit delay. II has
been demonstrated in one instance, at
least, that Marconi builded better than
he knew and in perfecting his appa-
ratus for the wireless transmission OF
messages was as great n humanitarian
rs he is an inventor.

PASSING OF THE 4pEANUT."

| The enaction and enforcement OF
statewide prohibition laws trend to
the obnteration of that most execrable
of excrescenses-the peanut" politi'
clan.
The term peanut" is not used to
; designate in a derogatory sense the
man who holds minor Office, whose
heart is big and whose job is small
but rather that other one, be his posi-
ton high or low, who assumes the
rein of government for selfish motives.
To the latter class belong all who as
sist in the exploitation of their fellow
men for the especial benefit of some
interest, corporate or otherwise.
During the reign of the saloon there
has been fattened and fostered in Ten
nessee a class of professional politi-
clans, who, in the name of the people
commit crimes and do deeds that hon
est men stand aghast at. The ward
politician has made a science of con
trolling votes and knows every man
in his immediate district who can be
bought and sold, Influenced or coerced.
His ally, the machine boss, in larger
sphere exercises the same blighting
influence. The source of the graft
fund that furnished the incentive for
these parasites to apply their nefarious
trade is the saloon and its big brother
the brewery.
That thousands of dollars are spent
annually by the liquor interests for
no other purpose than to exercise an
influence in politics goes without gain
saying. It Is to this liberal use OF
that can be ascribed the per
,etuation of institutions that blight
he citizenship of the state, corrupt
hose high In power, and Beed degen
'racy in every form.
The tap root has been cut. Now
watch the leaves wither and the tree
lie. Not the least OF the things for
which the public is grateful is-the
'assing of the peanut.

UNIFORM BALLOTS.

Tha. the election laws of Tennessee
should be uniform in all the counties
that is that a person qualified to vote
for State officers in one county should
be qualified to vote for such officers
In any other county, is proposition,
we take it, that few, if any, will deny.
| The election laws of this State need a
general reformation. They are entire
ly too complex and too mixed for in
telligent understanding. Injustice is
often done candidates by reason of the
fact that they do not know and cannot
ascertain what the requirements are
10 place their names upon the ballots
In all sections of the State. Re-
form is absolutely necessary.
A bill having in view the enact
ment of a uniform ballot law has been
presented in the Senate by Mr.. Swab
4 Republican. This measure is de-
signed to cure defects that we have
pointed out, but the remedy proposed
is not one calculated to address itself
to the Democrats of the State with
convincing force. A large majority or
them would rather have the evils of
which we complain than those which
would come with the enactment of the |
Swab bill And we make no objection |
to this measure because its author-is'
a Republican. The Herald has long |
since reached a higher plane than
such an objection for such reason
would indicate 1t is not one of those
partisan that feign belief in the in
of the Democratic party and
the utter unworthiness of its oppo-
1ents Our objection is to the bill
md not to the author.

,raved of the cities The Dortch law
