When you see the ministers of
all denominations of our churches,
the Christian women, all of the
church papers, 90 per cent of the
secular papers, university and col
lege men and women and a large
majority of the citizens and States
men standing solidly for cause,
you may rest assured that cause is
clean and right. They all stand
for worldwide and Statewide pro-
hibition, while the whisky influence
with all the power it can exert Is
arrayed against them and the good
cause they are battling SO nobly for.
On which side are you, brother?

In endorsing candidate against
Joe Il. ode, the regular nominee
for Pictorial Representative, the
so-called Irregular" or straight"
Democrats of Benton County Mon
day announced very plainly that
they are willing to accept only men
who are of their view on the whis-
ky question. Democrat or Repub-
lican, it makes no difference with
them. And yet these are the men
who. for the past six months, have
been demanding that Democrats
shall support party tickets, and
proclaimed beforehand that all
who refused to join their little aid
society of the whisky Organization
were boilers and traitors. This
sort of an appeal for Harmony"
under the mask of party, will not
have much effect in Tennessee.

Diogenes said that defamation
ia only the noise Of a madman,"
and Diogenes was true philoso-
pher, says the Pythian journal.
When Pythians revile Pythiansso Or
when they criticise without stating
facts upon which just criticism
can rest, be not disturbed. The
truth hurts no honest man. 1t is
not every man who speaks the
truth. Any evil mind can origi-
nate and scatter scandal. The
honest Pythian will always avoid
thinking evil, much less speaking
It. and will criticise another Pyth-
ian only after presenting facts
which seem to him to warrant the
censure of his brother.
