These old queries. who IS Dem.
ocrats and What is Democrat con
tlnue to vex and perplex the students
OF the political situation. There Is no
National definition for a Democrat
We all know that the Democrat from
strictly agricultural section is a tar
in reformer while the Democrat from
the mineral. or lumber districts is
invariably a protectionist. The Wall
Street variety believe in a central
bank: the Western Democrat is BIZ
metalist and so We have it. Until
recently. however. one could with
some reasonable claim to accuracy de
scribe a state Democrat. but that
feat is no longer possible.
For instance. We have the "old line,
simon pure article" whose chief tenet
is unquestioned obedience to the Gov
ernor and answering devotion to the
liquor interests reading out Of the
party all who will not acclaim Pater-
son the law-giver of Democracy and
defiance OF the law it's eleventh COM
mandment. Theoretically these gem
tlemen believe that the party label
absolves from all sin and liquor bath
is orthodox baptism. That is they
believe in the label when they are
allowed to afix 1t; otherwise, other
wise.
Down in West Tennessee Judge Err
nest L. Bullock, Democrat whose
record for party loyalty and devotion
to Democracy's cardinal principles has
never been questioned, was recently
without opposition for a
second term. He is opposed to a
quasi-Democrat AN appointee Of a Re-
publican President, but withal fol-
lower of Patterson. And 10 and be-
hold every simon pure yard-wide news
paper Of the Patterson stripe In Ten
nessee is barking at Bullock's heels |
and boosting his opponent. Party la |
bells be id; regularity to thunder
What count these If we don't afix the
label and order the regularity, they |
shout in chorus.
However, the Democrats of Judge
Bullock's division know a handsaw
rom hawk; the spurious from the
genuine and they can be depended
1pon to correctly define what is a
democrat.

saw thousand useful inventions per.
fected and utilized for mans comfort
and convenience; he beheld crum-
bling thrones; empires vanished and
he witnessed a score OF changes In
the map of Europe.
When Capt. White began his jour-
ney of four score and four years, John
Quincy Adams was President of the
United States; James K Polk was an
obscure member of Congress from
this district, William Carroll was
serving the second of his six terms
as Governor; the Wing party had not
had its birth and the Republican party
did not exist even In the imagination
OF the most intolerant fanatic OF the
North; the Missouri compromise had
hardly been written upon the statute
books; the first muttering Of the ire
pressible conflict were just arousins
the anxiety Of patriots; Jefferson and
John Adams were numbered with the
living: the United States ended at the
Missouri river. Then Tennessee num-
nereI less Imam q naif million souls
within its borders; the United States
was one OF the poorest and less popu-
lous of the family of Nations.
Capt. White saw twenty of our Pres
idents elected; he witnessed the birth
and the death of the Wing, the Know
Nothing; the Free Soil; the Green
back; the Granger, the Populist and
a half score of other political parties.
He was young man in the full vigor
of life when the Republican party,
that mastery organization that has
made this Republic an Empire in
all but name and has governed 1t all
but twelve years of its existence, first
upon the political horizon.
When he was born Jefferson Davis

creation of more than half the States
Of the Union; he saw more than a |
score of old Glory's stars added to
he flag of his country. Wars and
.umors Of war he witnessed without !
number. He was an active participant
n the scenes that tried mems souls"
Truly does the world move. One
hardly realizes what a life of four
icore years embraces until he gives
ange to his thoughts and through
history catches visions of the events
i the years that INTERVIEWED. Capt.

qualing that of his county and city.

rHE NEW YEAR.

The past year has been a good one.
The people OF this county have pros
pered 10 an unusual degree. The
merchants have had a satisfactory
trade. the farmers have made good
crops and nave received exceptionally
high prices for them. Necessarily
there are some who have not benefit
ted from the wave of prosperity that
has swept the country. Wages and
salaries have not increased in. proper
ton to the increased cost of living.
There are very few comparatively,
however, who have not reaped some
measure of profit from the general
prosperity of the country.
Every indication points to a contin-
ration of conditions that have made
business for the past year so satisrac'
tory. There is every reason to believe
that 1910 will equal its predecessor In
its distribution of good things. At any
rate it is best to look into the future
with the eye of an optimist- Croak-
ing and pessimism, however justihable
they may appear. are never profitable.
The booster not only enjoys life to
degree unknown to his dyspeptic
brother, but he is always a positive
asset to the community. Get the John
Fry habit. Keep it. Then you win
wonder why you have not always been
an optimist
During the twelve months just past
The Herald has endeavored to give
the people of this city and county
the very best newspaper that its pa
tronage and limited field would justify.
There have been times during the
year when it has spent more money in
this effort than its subscription list
and advertising warranted. 1t has
never hesitated to sacrifice profits in
its efforts to give the people the high
est quality of service. 1t would make
a number of important Improvements
and additions during the year If it
could get any assurance from the peo-
pie of the city that the counting room
could take care of the editorial and
news departments. But we are will
ing to take some risks and while not
warranted in making all the improve
ments that we had aspired to make |
we do promise that during 1910 The
Herald will be better, newsier and /
brighter paper than it has ever been.
We hope that every reader and pa I
tron of the paper will have year Of I
prosperity 1t is our prayer that their
Journey through the coming twelve (
may be in sunshine; that the
shadows will be few and never length
IN. Let all. country folk and towns
people, merchants and farmers, stand
together during the year in one mighty
effort to develop and foster the indus
.ries of Maury county.

MIXED ON HISTORY.

In its efforts to find some ground
for opposition to Justice Lurton. of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, New York paper charges
that he has always been friendly to
the corporations and for proof declares
that before he went on the bench was
law partner of Senator Joseph W..
Bailey of Standard Oil odor. This
will doubtless be news to both Sena-
tor Bailey and Judge Lurton. The
latter has been Judge continuously
since September 1, 1885 when he be-
gan his term on the Supreme Court
of Tennessee. At that time Joe Bailey
was twenty-three years of age. prac-
tically unknown lawyer recently re-
moved from Mississippi to Texas. The
Standard Oil Company was not then a
factor In politics.
Judge Lurton was once partner OF
Senator James e. Bailey, of Tonnes
see, an able and conscientious lawyer
and public servant. He has long since
answered the last roll call. His sena-
torial career was short lasting from
1877 to 1881 when he failed of re-elec-
ton. There was never any suspicion
Of wrong doing or charge of lack OF
fidelity registered against him. That
Judge Lurton was his law partner is
highly creditable to the new Justice.

AS TO ORGANS.

Deposeth the esteemed Chattanooga
Times:
"The Columbia Herald remarks that
The Chattanooga Times out-organs
all the other Patterson organs OuI
esteemed friend is suffering from an
aggravated and distressing case OF
Iparanoia, which renders its judgment
totally worthless touching any matter
pertaining to Gov. Patterson. If Gov.
Patterson had failed to exercise the
pardoning power at Christmas time,
reversing the custom of chief execu-
tives of almost every state in the On
ion, our Columbia neighbor would
doubtless have much the same sort Of
fit it is now having because he did
follow the precedent. In most re-
spells The Herald is an admirable
newspaper, and is entitled TO great
credit for its enterprise and public
spirit in maintaining wholesome lead
for the progress, prosperity and
growth Of it's little city
Out contemporary missed the point.
It's devotion to Patterson and the in
terests which he represents mas cloud
ed its otherwise clear vision. The
Herald made no comment upon the
Governors pardons. ItcOnfesses that
it does not know whether any or all
of the fifteen granted Christmas were
justified by the facts. But it does
know that If all of the hundreds that
the Governor has granted since he
went into office, three years ago, are
there is something radical
" wrong with our administration OF
the laws. The courts are convicting
an awful lot Of innocent men. Our
has led us to believe that
Il the courts err at all 1t is on the
other side We know lots OF guilty |
,nes that go unpublished, but the num-
Der Of innocent convicted appears
mighty small
But this is neither here nor there.
What we started out to say was that
I is ill-becoming newspaper Of the
standing and circulation OF the Times
o prostitute itself to the base degree
if an organ. No journal can fulfill its
Ugh mission nor give the people that
service which they have
right TO expect If it becomes
lavish organ. Its vision Is sure TO
,e cloudeI and it's usefulness i'm
,aired.
The Herald has its friends and It is
,roud of them. 1t regrets to remark
hat there are also those who are not
is well wishers. The former it loves,
tut it would do no injustice to the
after. 1t tries to serve all the people;
0 print the news and ID fearlessly
Comment upon it. 1t confesses that
/ lacks admiration for the present
thief Executive OF Tennessee, but 1t
las no desire to do him any injustice.
Is a public journal 1t has the right as
t is its duty to comment upon the
Governors public course. It regrets
o see great paper impair its use
illness by slavish subservience to any
nan or political machine.

1t would be interesting to know by
what authority the Governor grants
pardons while hundreds of miles from
the State. 1t has generally been &C.
cepted that the absence of the Cover
nor from the borders of the State de-
prived him temporarily Of authority.
That is the rule at least in every State
except Tennessee.
