THE HEROIC COLONEL

Col. w. L. Ledgerwood, an admin
,istration elector for the State at large,
seems to have been fully satisfied
with one joint debate with Judge Hen
ry Snodgrass, for he declined jivis-
ion of time at Columbia Tuesday. The
colonel takes the high ground that he
is very much opposed to joint dis
cussions between Democrats" He
takes this position when he declines
to meet an opponent, but the temper
of his speech and the hostility o. his
attitude toward 'the independents"
"the boilers" and former Democrats"
when he speaks without an adversary
to answer him indicates that he does
not entertain a very high regard for
The Democracy OF those he Ia trying

PRINTING THE NEWS

The Nashville American makes
great pretense OF printing the news
claims that however partisan its
itorial columns may be It's news /,
lures are always free from bias, b \
they truly report the facts as they d. I
Recently 1t printed an editorial to tlt
effect that it cared nothing for the
partisan bias of its correspondents
that all 1t asked from them was the
facts.
That The Americans claim Of fair.
ness in its new columns Is wholly
false was demonstrated in this county
last week. The report which that pa
per printer of the Ledserwood-Snod
grass meeting was SO manifestly un-
fair, SO wide Of the truth, that It was
actually news TO all who read 1t. Even
some of the Patterson sympathizers
whom 1t pretended to quote in is re-
port were astounded at what they
read. The report was not sent to that
paper by its regular correspondent.
He did however send the American
fair and unbiased report but 1t was
discarded and the biased, warped, un-
fair and untruthful report of some I'M
known quantity was printed.
This is the way the Nashville Amer.

! The teachers OF Maury County ars
| in session this week at the County
b High School building. They are hers
for their annual institute. No finer
body OF workers ever assembled in the
city than the public school teachers.
They are actuated more by a desire
and purpose to contribute to the pup
lie good than they are by the hope OF
reward For be It said to the discred-
IT OF our State, the teachers are no4
compensated as they should be. Their
labors are very largely unseifish.
The same talent. and energy and de-
votion to duty manifested in almost
any other line of human endeavor
would yield much better returns.
They are fine examples of the unset
fish public servants who are actuated
by a most worthy ambition to advance
the institutions of their country.
Theirs is no low and base motive.
They are members of a high profess
sion and it is to the everlasting credit
of the profession that a large major
fly of its members appreciate the high
responsibility of their calling.
Let us hope that the teachers will
have a successful and profitable ses-
sion; that their labors may be abun-
dainty rewarded and that they may
be the better fitted for dicharge of
their duties when school again keeps
next fall. Their unselfish devotion to
the highest interests of their calling
Is attested by the fact that although
with a very large majority the pay
stops when the school closes, they are
ever ready to study and work that
hey may the better fit themselves for
IN efficient discharge of their duties.
They set an example of public SER
ice that is worthy of the highest emu
alton.

very fact that they declined to receive

graduation Of the high court that they
have honored proves their fitness for

II is also apparent that the attacks
upon the court are insincere because
McAlister and Bell are members Of
the same bench and they must share
with the three independent candidates
any odium or reproach that may at
tach to the conduct Of the court during
the past. MeAlister has been on the
bench longer than any other member.
He was appointed by Gov. Turney to
succeed Horace H. Lurton in 1898,
when the latter became a Federal
Judge. He has been twice reelected
Beard had been on the bench sixteen
vars; Shields and Neil eight years
each. McAlister has not made rec
ord as a dissenter. In fact on the con-
trary he has rendered comparatively
lew dissenting opinions, not nearly so
many in notable cases as Judge
for the latter dissented in
.wo of the most important criminal
cases ever heard by the Supreme
Court, the Fiest and night rider cases.
Hence it is apparent that attacks on
of the court, its rules and its

made, would apply with the same

SATURDAYS FARCE

That bowling. sid1eplftting farce
comedy, entitled "Patterson's Person.
al Primary for Privats Purposes" was
presented Saturday to very indfffer-
emit audience of limited proportions.
It was the greatest political farce In
the history of this State. None ever
before approached II. Although call
ed by the regular party authority
the people refused to be called. They
declined to wear the machine collar
and quietly remained at their homes
wholly oblivious Of the fate OF belong
and IAge and Cockroach and company.
SO low has the great Democratic
party sunk in popular esteem that cf
it's 10000 members less than $4,000
participated In the nomination for can
didates for the highest and most Inn
poYtant ofices In the State. In the
primary Saturday more candidates
we've voted for than IN any previous
primary ID the history OF Tennessee
and Yst me vote was 10000 less than
It was when only a United States Sem
ator was nominated and 10000 less
than when a Governor ana one SUI
preme Judge were nominated. i

THE eLIppEN TOUR.

i Columbia is fortunate in being on
the line Of the famous Glidden auto
mobile endurance tour. The cara in
this endurance test are due to pass
through this city at noon on April
is. They will remain here for about
an hour, this having been designated
as checking station. While here
the cars will be replenished with
gasoline and water. The members Of
the party will also take lunch In the
city. :.
The coming of this tour to Column
bia should be made the occasion for
some kind of public celebration. To
work out the plans for making the
event notable one in the annals of
the city is duty that should devolve
upon the Board Of Trade. That or
ganization ought without delay, to
inaugurate plans for attracting the
country people to Columbia by giving
them an entertainment that win JUST |
fy them in coming here.
The very fact that from seventy |
five to 100 of the finest automobiles |
on the market will pass through here
at one time, of itself should attract |
a large crowd Of sight seers. The
cars are going on an endurance test
Of more than 5000 miles. They are
built for rough usage and
ong continued travel. They will he

must make an average daily speed

scheduled to make more than 200

ore be built for passage along M st I

While the tour Is In no sense Q /

storms Of life. Let us obey His command
as nature did His word, then peace will
reign in our life. There will be no strife
between creeds. classes or countries when
the gospel Of tho resurrection triumphs
over the selfish. sordid Sins Of men. The
message Of Easter Is for society as well
as the individual. Jesus is seeking TO
save man by saving men. When all men
recognize the salvation secured for them
by the risen Christ and are controlled in
their life by His teaching, the practical
application of the sermon on the mount
will bring peace to them individually and
among nations.
The presence Of the living Christ today
with all HIS disciples was made possible
by the resurrection. It gave them the
power by which during the past centuries
they have changed the current Of civiliza-
ton, slowly, steadily, but surely trans
formed the character Of nations and Of
men. The laymen that realize Christ's
presence, peace and power with them
established the church. The laymen, who
today are hearing the call Of the risen
