PATTERSON MUST GO.

The first skirmish in the great bat
tie of detrone Patterson and redeem
Tennessee has resulted in rousins
victory for the forces of good govern
ment. But nothing will satisfy the
people of Tennessee, but the abso.
lutte defeat of Patterson. Nothing
less than his removal from political
life will restore the good name Of
this State at home and abroad.
Patterson in power, muzzled and
dehorned as he is, cannot be other
than a menace to the peace and sec
urity and well being of the State, He
must be defeated So far as The
Herald is concerned for once in its
career it is willing to follow the Gov
errors advice and vote for straight

ITS TRUE SIGNIFICANCE.

The verdict of the Tennessee voters
in the judiciary primary was revolt
against the one man power, just as
insurgency" in Congress was a revolt
against Cannonism. Autocracy and
Democracy won't mix any more than
oil and water. A republic repudiates
the idea of a dictation. Roosevelt, in
spite of his personal popularity, has
had that fact demonstrated to him.
President Taft is realizing that his o.

masses to his views, and the Novem.

will probably never be suitable fol
carving into State of the American
Union.
With the admission of the two
States the Senate will probably reach
it's maximum membership of ninety
six This is just seventy more than
it contained when the first Senate
was called to order by Vice Presi
dent John Adams in 1889. Within
the past twenty years the membership
of the Senate has become increased
by twenty, ten States having been ad-
ded to the Union within that period.
The two Dakotas, Wyoming, Idaho,
Washington, Montana. Utah and Ok
lahom have all been admitted since
Harrison's election in 1883 and with
the States of New Mexico and Arizo-
ma give the banner of liberty twenty
comparatively new stars.
The new States have been burden
I'd with restrictions concerning their
admission into the union that have
not been APPLIED to other States, thus
marking the tendency toward a strong
central government and the obliter-
alton of States lines that has Der a
distinctive feature OF the developne nt
of this government from a federation
to a nation. The constitution of the
new States must not only be approved
by the President but must be submit
ted to the congress for ratification.
1t is evident that the joy Of admis-
sion to the rights of Statehood is
marred by the somewhat humiliat-
ing conditions which have been at
tached by Congress. The Democratic
press Of the two States-elect Is almost

HOW THE LEADERS JARED

Maths county, Wilson, gave the In
dependents 500 majority.
The Mastiff's own county, Shelby
rebuked the machine made ticket.
Sullivan, the hoasted possession Of
the unspeakable John /. Cox, rolled
up 600 majority for decency and law
and order.
Patterson will never pardon Cy
Lyle for Washington county gave the
Independents nearly 1909 majority.
Knox county, the home of Heiskell
and Ledgerwood and vestaI, is the
banner Independent county Of the
State.
Rice Pierce's county Of Obion, the
home of Hams paw-in-law, gave the
free judiciary ticket an even thcus-
and.
Smith county, where for forty years
they have heard Benton's call to the
Pretorian Guards to arms and where
the glories of Kings Mountain never
fade, hit Ham between the eyes.
And Lancaster's county of Hamil-
ton even joined the possession.
Why did you do it, Dancy? Both
your counties, Montgomery and Rob
ertson got into the triumphant pro
cession.
And Bill Whitson and Jess Safey
and those other redoubtable leaders
of straight Democracy whom the
American told US were to deliver Old
Warren, fell by the wayside.
And Henry Dickerson can no long
er claim fee simple title to the
ballots of Bedford county.
From the returns that reach US
from Cannon county we incline to the
opinion that the mouthy Hoyt Ste
wart had better have looked
after his own rather than wasted his
hot air in West Tennessee.
Adding Maiden to the Patterson
ticket did not add any strength to
that ticket in weakley, his home,

JOHN x. SHIELDS.

| There is glory enough ID the lds'
election for all. The press, the speak
ers, the State leaders, the county and
district workers, all are entitled to
commentator for their eficient ser.
vices, without which the battle for a
free court and for Tennessee's re-
ldemption would have been lost.
But there is one figure in that con-
test that stands out distinctly, pre-
eminently above all the others. 1t
was his courage, his determination,
his force of character, his integrity,
his sacrifice and his answering de-
votion to duty that gave heart to the
supporters of the cause and started
them on the high road to victory.
That man is John Knight Shields. as
true a Democrat, as noble man, as
pure citizen, an able jurist as Ten
nessee ever knew.
To Judge Shields more than to any
other is credit due for the regenera-
ton of Tennessee. His name and
fame are forever secure. His place
In the hearts of his grateful country
men will be green long after he has
gone to his reward.
Ever since Patterson's domination
of the Democratic machine threaten
ed the peace and happiness OF the
State, John Shields has stood true to
the cardinal principles of his party.
And when the crucial test came he did
not hesitate to throw certain nomi-
nation and an assured election to the
winds because to have done ether
wise would have forever stained the
name Of his State. Shields was ready
to sacrifice Office, power and place for
There are few instances
in history Of nobler and purer devo-
ton to duty than he manifested.
It was Shields magnificent opinion
in the election law case that gave the
reform forces of Tennessee the first
note of encouragement. 1t was that
opinion that will ever prove bulwark
Of the peoples liberties; a sure de-
tense against the interruptions ambi-
ions of machine bosses. That cpin-
ION will endure monument to Shields
10 long as Tennessee's Jurisprudence
shall live.
The opinion rendered by Shields in
he Cooper case was splendid vindi-
cation of the law. 1t was answer to
he civilized, world that the courts OF
his State would mete out even and
,xact Justice no matter how powerful
md influential the criminals might be. ],
But it was Shields defiance of the
machine that paved the way for free
ON in Tennessee. His reputation OF ,
'atterson's primary started a revolu-
ion that swept the machine from pow
r and for ever destroyed its infiu-
nee in this old commonwealth.
The Herald would not detract from ,
ne glory that is properly the portion ,
others, but 1t does no more than .
imply justice when IL gives the first Z
onors to Judge Shields. Palsied be :
lie hand of the true Tennessean that 3
ever raised against him and dishon- .
+ be the portion of the reformer who
lall forget his services in the States h
arkest hour of need. '

rENnEssEE REpEEMEp.


BY a majority equal 70 the most
sanguine expectations Of the most op-
timistie suppsvters OF the ticket the
people Of Tennessee redeemed the
State in the eyes Of the civilized
world on Thursday by an empathic re-
pudiation of Patterson and all OF the
fnfamies for which Patterson stands.
Once more Tennessee, the home OF
Jackson and Polk and Carmack,
stands with head erect before all the
world. Her redemption is COM
plete.
The people have absolved them
selves from responsibility for the
shame and deep humiliation which
Patterson has brought upon the
StatsL
The fair name Of the common
wealth has been saved from the
shame with which Patterson would
tarnish It.
It was a mighty issue that was put
up to the voters Of the old Volunteer
State.
But like their ancestors who biased
the path way through the wilderness
and here erected their rude temples
dedicated to liberty, the people we're
able to meet the issue.
They met it resoluteIy, fearlessly
and as became true sons Of a glor-
tous ancestry.
Not only has Tennessee repudiated
Patterson, saved the judiciary from
political pollution and machine me-
chinations, but more than all that
tie state has proven that Il has a
citizenship that when danger threat
ems, can neither be bought, bullied
nor driven from the plain path OF
duty.
Life will be safer, property will DO
worth more in Tennessee than 1t was
before this glorious verdict was rend-
cred. The peoples will, spoken in
thunder tones that will be Heard
around the civilized world, guarantees
protection of life and property.
1t is a decree that warrants hui
man life.
1t is repudition of assassination.
The people have said that in Ten
nessee the peaceful and orderly IRE
cesses Of the law shall not be yield
ed to the mad passions of individuals
no matter how near they may sit to
the throne of the mighty.
It is a day of rejoicing, for Tonnes
see is redeemed.
The people breathe easier for they
know that the judiciary, the bulWark
of our liberties. the very foundation
stone of human freedom, will be for
ever preserved inviolate to perform |
its constitutional mission.
1t was victory for law and order;
1t was a triumph for civic righteous
ness; it was vindication Of justice,
Never again In Tennessee will = ma
chine boss attempt to detile the
temple of the peoples liberties nor
seek to usurp the functions of the
judicial tribunal.
This election should teach a les
son.
It should point moral.
1t should be warning to political
dictators that so far shall they go
but no further.
1t tells them in language that is
plain and emphatic that the foul hand
of the machine must be stayed ere 1t
dare touch the judicial ermine.
In short and in fine Tennessee is L
redeemed.
Now let the finger of scorn that has {
been directed at this old common
wealth be pointed to him, who atone
must bear all the responsibility and I
share all the shame of the States a
disgrace, NJ r. Patterson. 70

EXPECT THEIR HOSE

Users Partial to Variety That
Plays Queer Tricks

You don't seem to be making much
of display of hose" said the regular
caller to the hardware merchant who
was arranging his spring stock on the
sidewalk in front of the store, says
the Providence Tribune.
No. replied the hardware merchant,
somewhat gruff1y. I've told you sew
eral times that we don't do much with
hose. Nobody can after a community's
got settled down. We've got two or
three shots of hose ON hand in case
there's any demand for it, but we don't
sell much of it. When a man buys a
few feet of hose he expects it'll last for
ever and he makes it last forever, even
If 1T leaks at every pore, as it generally
does after it's been in the cellar one
winter. 1t'll squirt all over everything
and everybody except the lawn but he
ties rags around the broken places un-
til it looks as If it had been through a
war, and let it squirt. He won't come
down and order any new hose.
One reason is you can't get boy to
water the lawn with new hose. A boy
likes a hose that'lI wet him through
and play all kinds OF queer tricks; the
more it leaks the better he likes it, But
if you have a brand new hose and you
can make him touch it at all he'll take
it out and turn it on wa gons and dogs
and people that are going by and you'll
have a policeman at the back door in
an hour or two complaining of HIM
Once in a good while a man'll buy a.
