The San Francisco call., 1910-10-30

Zzzzz- z-zzzzz-zzzzz! Have you ever
heard the locusts hum that tune on a
bright summer morning? You have
probably said at the time TITS going to
be a hot day, for I hear the Iocusts
singing" In southern Europe these in
sects travel in such swarms that they
form great masses which look like dark
clouds. Although their bodies are very
heavy, they never fall during their
flights, for each of the creatures has
two strong pairs of limbs. In foreign
lands the locusts often devour the
leaves of the trees for miles around and
then eat the grass right down to the
roots before they journey together in
search of more food. In our country
the birds eat thousands of these little
robbers every year, so they do not live
to become destructive. In the fall of
the year Mrs. Locust digs hole in the
ground, where she lays a bundle of
tiny eggs. There they stay until
spring, when the insects which hatch
out work their way to the light. One
family of locusts is very queer, for the
insects do not becomeSfying creatures
until they have lain in the ground II
years.
Mr.. Locust has a very happy life, for
he seems to sing all the time. Ee never
becomes hoarse, for his voice does not
come from his throat oh. no, he sings

And SO the platform of the last
Patterson convention says prohibi-
ton is not an issue in Tennessee
politics! Pray tell us, then, why
the whisky sympathizers were SO
ready to array themselves behind
Senator Taylor? There are other
and more vital issues at stake that
90 down deeper than the prohibi-
ion question, but-any attempt to
relegate the prohibition issue until
it is the settled policy of the people
of Tennessee will make it a disturb

We agree with Editor Clement
Of the Citizen that we have not, in
our editorial expressions, deceived
anyone, nor do we feel deceived in
the matter. On the contrary, we
believe that a large per cent Of our
people want the laws enforced, aud
we believe they endorse our course.
We may be mistaken, but our I'M
preston is, aud always has been,
that the term democracy" stands
for law enforcement and good gov
eminent. But how about yourself,
Aus? DO you favor or oppose the
election law of 1909? Do you ia
vor the enforcement or repeal OF
the acts Of the last General Assem-
bly, with reference to the open sa-
loon and the manufacture of spir-
ltuous liquors? DO you approve
of Governor Patterson's pardon of
Duncan B. Cooper? DO you en-
dorse the platform Of June Is, or
the one of October 6? Which, in
your opinion, is of the most vital
importance, good government or
partisan supremacy? If you wish
to discuss the demand for a real
Democracy-the spirit that is NOV
ing the voters Of Tennessee-on q
high plane, free from partisan ran
cor and mud-slinging, | am ready
to do so; otherwise, neighbor, you
will please excuse me.

When The Chronicle stated that
"the fellow who wants all the har-
mony one way is failure as pol
itician in Benton County" we in
tended nothing personal. But it
looks like we tread on the toes of
the editor of the Citizen. At least
he seems to take it that way. We
beg your pardon, Friend Clement,
but you know the old adage says
"if the cap fits, wear it.
