AN APPRECIATED TRIBUTE

The Herald appreciates the fact
that the noble women Of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union did not
forget it on the Flower Day OF that
Organization. The presentation CT a
beautiful bouquet of flowers In the
color of the emblem of that order, tes-
tifies to us the appreciation of the
members for the earnest and consist
emit fight which this journal has made
| for the success Of the principles espous-
ed by the good women. So long as
! The Herald has the good will and the
well wishes of the members of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Un-
ion the threats and abuse and ISLANDERS
of the criminal and vicious elements
of society have no terrors for it.
The Herald is fighting every day the
battle for good citizenship. 1t is ear
uestly striving to make its community
better place in which to live. 1t
stands for civic righteousness; for
the enforcement Of the law and for
clean and honest administration OF
government. 1t naturally offends those
who are not with it in the fight. This
1t regrets. It is unfortunate that
there should be any difference Of cpin-
ion about purely moral questions. But
this difference must be recognized and
SO long as there are those in the COM
munity who neither respect nor obey
the law this journal will be the target
for abuse and Misrepresentation.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union is one of the worlds greatest
organizations for civic uplift and NOR
al regeneration. It has glorious rec
ord of achievement. It numbers among
its members the flower Of the Chris
tian womanhood of the nation. It's
good opinion is the highest certificate
Of character for this organization is
not influenced by sordid political in
fiuences in bestowing honors. The
Herald hopes that It IL worthy OF the
confidence Of the w. @. T. U. what
ever power and influence 1t has VIII
ever be enlisted for the accomplish
ment of the sacred objects Of the or
ganization. 1t is content to follow
these good women where the interests
OF society and the morals Of the COM
munity are involved.

Entertaining these views The Her
aid could not consistently support
Patterson. Party bosses and party
names have no terror for this journal.

anee to any faction nor party. It's on

This journal does not believe in assas-
sination as a redress for imaginary or
real political wrong, so believing It
will never advocate Patterson's cleo
ton even though he should be cover
ed knee deep with party labels. Par
ty labels won't wash away guilt and
machine nominations don't regenegate
candidates
Whether or not it will be advisable
to nominate a Democratic candidate
for Governor is a question that can
not now be decided. The situation win
be. clarified after the August election
AS between Patterson and a patriotic
Republican who stands for law and its
enforcement. The Herald does not
hesitate to say that 1t will earnestly
espouse the cause of the Republican
candidate. 1t has nothing to conceal.
Its editor is not candidate for office.
This journal believes that newspaper
publishers should have no interest in
government except that prompted by
a desire to have it honestly, efficient
ly and economically administered
The Herald goes further. 1t is OPP
posed to the repeal of the present
election law, the first in twenty years
that guaranteed honest representation
at the polls to the minority. 1t be-
lieves that the present legislative APP
portionment is unjust, unfair, uncon-
stitutional and absolutely indefcnst
BILE. It will advocate a redistricting
act that will be fair, and in strict &C
cord with the spirit of the const!tu-
ton. No honest man can defend an
act that DISTINGUISHES Lawrence coun-
ty with 10000 people, Henderson
county with 10000 people and gives
a Representative to Cannon county
with less than $4,000 inhabitants,
merely because the people living in
hose-counties do not think alike po-
The Herald hopes that 1t has made
it's position perfectly plain. If it has
not Mr.. Hopkins or any other interest
ed party who sincerely seeks infcrma-
ton is at perfect liberty to interro-
gate US. Not ever the bitterest enemy
of this journal can say that it is
trimmer or a dodger. 1t hits hard

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CON-
vENTIoN
(By Rev. Geo. n. Mack)

Columbia welcomes the Annual
Sunday School Convention within her
gates. We are glad to have this fine
body of Christian workers to meet
and deliberate among us. They repre-.
sent that earnest, progressive element
| in the churches that is winning the
battle in the spread of the Christian
cause. And their leaders are men of
ability and culture.
The homes of the city are thrown
wide open. And it must be confessed
that the Harvard plan as the policy of
the Association did not meet with the
best reception from many among us
who wished to show the customary
| hospitality of our city. But where it
carries 1t will be because this is the
usual plan of the State meetings and,
perhaps we should also say, because Of
the servant question.
The Local Committee has arranged
all matters for the comfort of the
visitors, the clubs, hotels and restaur-
anst offering their best to make the
guests feel at home and spend pleas
ant time. And so in the homely
phrase Of Southern hospitality; we
say, walk right in, hang up your hat.
If you don't see what you want Just
ask for it."
We confess to a degree Of selfish
ness about this gathering also For
we shall be very much surprised II
city and county are not very much
helped by it. Not only is the presence
of such people in our homes an inspir-
alton to the community, but the dis
cussion of subjects dealing with prac-
tical phrases of Church and Sunday
School activity will be very beneficial.
It should mean higher grade of
work in all the schools Of the city and
county-bringing them to the modern
standards that are now held up by
the leaders. And we believe that
there is only one thing that will pre-
vent the schools of the county from
getting all they could, and that is the
busy times Just now on in the coun-
try. Everyone who can do so should
take advantage Of the opportunity
The modern Sunday School is a
wonderful institution. Worldwide in
It's organization, finding no denomina-
tional limitations, It Is one Of the
great forces OF the times. II takes

babe in the cradle, and seeks TO teach

velopment so that one maya T&ver,

tering care and instruction. 1t Is the
right arm of the church. From 1t
comes SIS per cent of the membership
of the church so 1t is the great feed
er, the great training school for
church membership.
Tennessee Sunday School work has
made remarkable progress under the
leadership Of Joseph Carthell. Him.
self Maury County man, he ef-
fected a good work In Alabsma,
whence he returned to his home
state. In the two years he has spent
in Tennessee nearly all the counties
of the state have been organized and
the work is in a healthy condition.
1t will be interesting to hear the re-
ports given Of this fine progress The
state of Tennessee gains by every
movement that unites earnest men
and women in a crusade for truth and
right and duty.

THE HERALp,s POSITION

In another column of today's issue
The Herald prints letter from r. s
Hopkins, former Republican Election
Commissioner for Maury county. The
Herald thought that it had made its
position in this campaign so plain that
child could understand 1t: 1t was
under the impression that its views
had been so forcefully and pointedly
expdessed that even-a ,wayfarer could
readily ascertain their full impor' It
Is therefore somewhat surprised az Mr..
Hopkins lack of perception. Howev-
er, we have no quarrel with him on
that account for the fault may be ours,
not his.
On the day following the promulga-
ten of the infamous Patterson pri-
mary plan, before single candidate
had taken a position. The Herald edit
ORALLY declared that 1t would not fof
low the machine. 1t emphatically re-
pudiated the Patterson machine and
announced its determination to oppose
the candidates Of the machine. Suisse
quent events have but strengthened
its determination to follow this
course.
This journal holds Patterson and
Pattersonism responsible for the dis
graceful conditions that now exist In
Tennessee. The Governor and the
Governor alone has brought upon the
fair name Of the commonwealth the
odium and reproach that is voiced by
the press Of the nation in thunder
tones from the Atlantic to the Pacific;
from the wind swept plains Of the
Northwest to the palm groves Of Flor
ida. Patterson attempted to coerce
the Supreme Court; he is the author
OF the nefarious primary plan Of nom
nations that disfranchised every

Am ABSURD CLAIM

No reasonable being OF even ordin-
airy intelligence will for one moment
claim that the result Of the frost pri-
mary" Of last Saturday IL binding on
the Democrats OF this county. To say
that 10000 Democrats can bind 100,
900 members of that political faith Is
utterly absurd. 1t is equally 30 to in
sist that the voice of the miserable
number who took part in the flasco is
the voice of the Democracy OF Ten
Tennessee. 1t is to place an estimate
upon the decadence of the party that its
real friends must resent.
The Herald denies that the primary
Of last Saturday was Democratic pri-
mary. This journal believes in the
rule of the majority; 1t subscribes to
he doctrine of government of the
people; by the people and for the peo-
pie. The primary Of last Saturday
was a machine made affair. The few
deluded voters who did take part in II
were not even allowed to mark their
own ballots with a few exceptions.
From county after county comes the
report that tickets were sent out to
the polling places already marked.
The machine was omnipotent. It is
sued the orders and the little subs
carried them into execution. How ut
terly laughable then is the CAIN that
this primary spoke the will Of the
Democratic party. Such contention
is an insult to the Democracy Of Ten
nessee. It is an invitation to more
than 100000 of the truest and best
Democrats in the State to get out OF
that organization for all time.
But the Democratic party Is not go
ing to be destroyed The convention
which assembled at Nashville on May
is will be the savior of that party Of
historic memory. After the August
election when the machine gang shall
have been buried beneath an avalanch |
of votes the reorganization Of the
Democratic party will be completed
and it will go on to the achievement |
of it's gorious destiny.
The Democratic party was not born
to die. 1t will live forever. But it
will live in spite Of the infamous ma
chine that has sought by partner
ship with crime and by extolling MUIR
der as redress for political differences,
to render its name Infamous in the
eyes Of all decent citizens. II 1t were 7
possible to destroy the Democratic
party it would have been wrecked
long ago by the Patterson gang. They
have left nothing undone to destroy It.
They have been guilty Of every offense
imaginable against decency and
against the fair name of the State.
They have violated every tradition Of
the Democratic party; they have set
aside its every precedent; they have
used every possible means to discredft
and dishonor IL. But they shall not
succeed. The magnificent but sol
EMMY impressive protest Of 100000 I
Democrats on last Saturday warns the
machine that It has already gone too
far. The day Of reckoning has come.
The despoilers must be driven from
the temple.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1910-06-17

Patterson and not the Independent
Democrats wrecked the Democratic
party. He violated every pledge that
he made to the people; he made polit-
zeal assassination an issue In Tennes-
see; he attempted to coerce and die
tate to the Legislature and failing In
that he sought to coerce the Supreme
Court. He violated all Democratic
precedent by seeking a third consecu-
tive term.

What is the graver offense, coail
ton between the Democrats anc Q
majority of the Republican party. or a
coalition between the Democrats ano
a minority of that party? In the last
Legislature, minority of the Demo
Gratis and a minority Of the Repubf
cans entered into a conspiracy to de-
feat fair elections by fleeing FROM the
state. Why don't the Patterson or
CANS turn their batteries of bitterness
on them?

CITY LAWYERS ONLY


What do the country lawyers Of the
State and the people Of Tennessee
who do not reside in three large cit
lies, think OF a party that absolutely
ignores them in the selection Of a
ticket for the two highest courts. OF
the five nominees OF the Patterson
gang for the Supreme Court four are
from three Of the largest cities In the
State. So anxious we're the machine
builders to get a ticket from the eff
fete cities that one city, Chattanooga,
was given the unusual honor of fur
/, nishing two Of the candidates. Far
abough In West Tennessee, a country
lawyer. was slaughtered to make a
place for city fellows. McAlister,
i from Nashville, Barton and Cooke
from Chattanooga and Maiden from
Memphis. This is the Patterson pup
pet ticket for the Supreme Court. 1t
/ is true Bell is also on the ticket and
Bell is from a country town, but Bell
is not much lawyer so he don't count.
He is simply on the ticket to I'LL in and
because of valuable political services
rendered to Patterson.
/ The same conditions apply to the
Court of Civil Appeals. Backman, the
East Tennessee candidate is from
the city of Bristol. Cook and Ghol-
son, whom the machine will name
from Middle Tennessee, are from the
city. the former from Nashville and
the latter from GAINESVILLE. Two OF
the West Tennessee candidates are
from small towns Thus Of the ten
names on the Patterson ticket, seven
are those of city lawyers. Country
lawyers, that class which has always
furnished the names that ornament
the judicial and legal annals OF the
country, furnish the candidates for
the Peoples ticket. OF the five candi-
dates for the Court of Appeals fve
are from the country. Eight OF the
ten cdUuludl6S lOl IuC opPOAOSO 0~--
on the peoples ticket are country law
yers, while but three of the ten on
the machine ticket are from the coun-
try
1t is easy to explain the machines
discrimination against the country.
The noxious machine plant thrives
better in the fetid atmosphere OF the
city than it does in the country where
people live nearer to natures heart
and liberty flowers and fruits TO the
highest perfection.
The Patterson gang wanted a ticket
that would be susceptible to the Pat
terson influence. 1t wanted nominees
whom the Governor could confidently
appeal to in an emergency like the |
recent Cooper trial. That is why the |
bone and sinew of the country was
ignored in making up the machine
ticket.

Joyce of that town, was Saturday
married to the girl by the Judge
Bradfield of the county court
Mckay had been a druggist 1T

met Miss Joyce. AS soon as he as
certained that the officers were after
him some time ago he fled the coun-
try and was captured through the
merest accident by Sheriff Florance
as the latter was taking a prisoner
to Denver two weeks ago. Sherfh
Florance at once placed Mckay un-
der arrest.
He was brought back to this city
and was later taken to Num- where
his trial was in progress when he
concluded that he had better marry
Miss Joyce and the ceremony was
performed this morning.
