The Mendicant.

There are those who ascribe the
word "mendicant" to the silly appelia-
ton put forth as a conundrum, mean
ing poor wretch beyond the power OF
mending. But something very close to
the term was in use as long ago as
when Chaucer wrote his Canterbury
Tales" In the ''Sompnoure's Tale"
this occurs:
Therefore we ''mendiants." We sely freres.

a person Of low estate. and here we
have. It IS believed. the origin of the
word, which came into common en-
ployment later.

to compel such elections in our

to compel such elections in our
State.
Under the strictest system of
surveillance there will always be
persons who will take advantage
of any opportunity to perpetrate
some election fraud, but the pub
lie sentiment should be SO strong
and election officials so alert and
scrupulous as to make all such at
tempts extra hazardous.
But the surest way to prevent
election frauds is by prompt in
vestigation and prosecution to
bring offenders to justice.
It has too long been a custom in
Tennessee when an election is con-
tested on charges of fraud and IL
legality to confne the issue TO the
claims Of election on the part of
the candidates, and when thatis-
sue is settled, whether rightfully
or wrongfully, to leave the matter
of law-breaking in the lurch.
When the contest for the office
is settled, the vindication of the
law against the law breakers is
omitted and ignored. AS a result
of this custom matters have grown
from bad to worse and is RESPONSE
BILE for the intolerant condition in
our State today.
The matter of most importance
to the public in its demand for
+, honest elections is that offenders
against the law be punished.
Every election in every county
and in every district should be al
honestly conducted election, anc
there is general demand all ovel
the State that the General Assem-
bly, enact a legalized primary elec
tion law, iD order that no man who
attempts fraud, whether in 1
primary or general election, shal
have immunity from punishment
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1909-02-12
HONEST ELECTIONS.

There is no need of argument to
show that primary elections as well
as general elections should be con-
Quoted with absolute fairness and
honesty.
Every citizen who is qualified to
exercise the franchise privilege
has right to vote in accordance
with his individual convictions of
duty, and he has the right to de-
mand that his vote be honestly re-
corded and counted.
He and all other honest citizens
have the right, also, to demand
that no fraudulent voting shall be
allowed in any election, and to de-
mand that any and all persons
found guilty of fraudulent cleo
tion practices shall be prosecuted
and punished for their offenses
against the law.
An election fraud is one of the
most serious and heinous Of crimes.
The stealing of a vote is as low and
AS mean crime as the stealing of
money.
The fraudulent manipulation or
counting of ballots by an election
officer is as dishonest in law and in
morals as highway robbery or
skulking thievery.
No sort of glamor of excuse an
der the guise of party necessity
can make an election fraud less
criminal and dishonorable, and nc
sort of excuse or laxity of the law
should serve to protect any mar
| guilty of cheating his fellows in al
election from the punishment dine
| for such crime.
The time has come when all the
honest people of all parties should
insist upon scrupulously fair ant
honest electionsand stand together

ENFORCEMENT OF LAW.

|
Nashville Banner.l
The Legislature has set the final
seal of it's approval on the bills to
prohibit the sale and the manufac-
ture of intoxicants in Tennessee.
They are now laws of the State,
one to become effective July ] and
the other at the beginning of the
year. Any further discussion of
the merits of these measures is not
only superfuous, but futile, and it
will be the simple duty of the citi-
zens to obey these laws and to in
sist on their enforcement.
There is a marked difference OF
opinion in regard to the wisdom OF
these laws, and the discussion in
the press and elsewhere that their
agitation produced was at times
acrid. Certain political complica-
tions and untoward events tended
to increase the intensity of the
feeling on the subject, but all OF
this should now come to an end.
The State wants quiet and surcease
of political turmoil. Quarrelsand
examinations growing out of what
is past can be of no possible bene-
fit to anyone and may be produc-
tive of much mischief.
The good citizen can have but
one sentiment in regard to all law
-thatis, to uphold it, both in spirit
and letter-and it should be so in
regard to the prohibition laws in
Tennessee. One of the arguments
made against the law prohibiting
the sale of intoxicants was the i'm
practicability of it's enforcement.
It is the duty of the authorities
to enforce every law to the fullest
extent possible, and to accomplish
this result there must be a sustain
ing public sentiment for law and
order. A recalcitrant spirit man
ifested by people who honestly
question the efficacy of prohibi-
4 tion laws would encourage the dis
! regard Of all other laws. There is
I an old proverb to the effect that
, strict enforcement of bad law
is the most speedy way to it's re-
peal. Let those who still deplore
these prohibition enactments try
b that plan rather than encourage
law breaking by continued carping
= against the enactments.
But beyond any question of this
s kind is the sense of duty that i'm
10 pels all well-wishers of the State,
all lovers OF law and order, to obey
i the law. If there be laxity in the
l. enforcement of the anti-liquor laws
there will be decentralization in
: other respects.
1t Every good citizen should lend
4 his influence, against the "blind
n tiger" and the bootlegger."

Negro Question: The object is a full
discussion of the question, How far
has the nation lived up to the obliga-
ton imposed upon it by the emancipa-
ton proclamation? '
It deprecates the spread of laWless
attacks upon the negro North, South,
and West and says:
silence under these conditions
means tacit approval. II Mr.. Lincoln
could revisit this country in the flesh
he would be disheartened and discour-
aged. He would earn that on Jan
uary I, 1909, Georgia had rounded
out a new c~onfederacy by d~isfranchiS-
ing the negro after the n of all
the other Southern States.
He would learn that the Supreme
Court of the United States, supposedly
q bulwark of American liberties, had
refused every opportunity 20 pass
~squarely upon this Acknowledgement Of
millions, by laws avoWedly d~iscrinlina-
tory and openly enforced in sue
