New York, Aug. 23.-Leaving be-
hind him the muddled condition OF
New York politics. Colonel Roosevelt,
today where he makes the first speech
Of his long speaking tour this after
noon when he is scheduled to address
the Herkmer county grange. Follow
ing the publication OF President Taft's
letter to Lloyd Griscom, chairman Of
the New York republican committee,
who had presented Roosevelts name
as temporary chairman of the state
convention, only to see vice-presi-
dent Sherman chosen, politicians are
trying to figure out just where the po-
litical skein is tangled. Today they
predict that Hughes and Roosevelt,
backed by Taft will control the re-
publican situation. and that Roosevelt
may yet be named chairman while
Sherman will be asked to retire.
Politicians say they would not be
surprised to see him permanently re-
tire voluntarily. for the sake of har-
mony He would hardly dare openly
to oppose the presidents views. Some
believe Roosevelt win not accept the
Craftsmanship but some think a man
win be chosen in place of Sherman.
In his letter to Griscom, Taft deplores
the Sherman Roosevelt controversy
and says he had nothing TO do with
the snubbing of Roosevelt all OF which
means that Sherman must shoulder
the blame for the affair.

business and will return tonight and
remain here until Friday when he

address as per schedule. It follows in

Law Enforcement.

There is a good deal Of discussion Of
Law enforcement on sophistical lines,
a character Of comment which, il ii be
not purposely intended in instances to
encourage law violation. tends to dis
courage Jealous and persistent effort to
enforce the law, or at least TO prepare
the public mind for an acquiescence in
the idea that effective enforcement is
Impractical. This ::ssan unwholesome
phase of discussion from any point Of
view. There should be but one opin-
ion, and that. the positive opinion,
backed by the public demand, that law
shall be enforced. There should be no
exception to this rule Every law
placed upon the statute books was
placed there to be enforced, and as
long as it is a law al official agencies
held responsible for it's execution
should exert themselves for its constant
enforcement
1t is absurd 10 argue that because
certain law is not popular, or because
large number OF people in communi-
>ty opposed its enactment, disregard of
the law should be tolerated. or a laxity
in its enforcement should be sane
toned. A failure to maintain one law
properly in its operation weakens the
force of all law and encourages general
laxity and increasing lawles ness.
There is too much public indifference
in regard to the matter of upholding
and enforcing law. The public con-
science needs to be quickened in this
respect, and public officials generally
need to feel a keener sense Of response
bility.
The proposition that the prohibition
law should not be rigidly enforced in
Nashville, or elsewhere, because it was
imposed by the Legislature without the
HldJOTity cOnScul VI lHe COiIilliHliy CA
pressed in an election, is indefensible.
The law was enacted by the consitu-
tionaI body OF lawmakers, and as a
statute is binding upon all If nine
tenths Of the people of Nashville or Of
the State were opposed to the law, the
and duty of enforcing the
law on the part of the officers Of the
law, the courts and juries would be as
binding and imperative as though the /
law were universally favored. In the
theory Of good government there is no
OF law. The only alterna
tives are its enforcement or its repeal,
and as long as it stands law it should
be upheld and enforced through the
agencies whose sworn duty
it is to make it effective in every proper
and possible way Nashville Banner.

"Graustark."

Graustark, "a dramatization Of Geo,
Barr McCutcheon's novel by Geo. d.
Baker, comes to Reynolds Opera House
Friday night, Feb 4, direct from con-
quests OF New York, Boston, Chicago,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
No play has SO electrified the theatre
cal world in decade, and much inter-
est is shown in the coming presenta-
ton. The book has been widely read
and many are familiar with the capti-
waiting story. It deals with the adven-
lures of daring American and prin-
cess and unfolds narrative OF A Love
Behind a Throne" The play is in five
acts and mounted with a lavish equip
ment of scenic effects and costumes,
and interpreted by cast Of players that
are seldom seen away from the Broad
way theatres.
Both company and play have been
showered with praise by critics in other
cities, and it is said that "Graustark "
sets standard by which all dramatized
novels will be judged in the future.
Mr. McCutcheon has given us a
play that surpasses his 'Brewster's Mil
lions. What will he do next?" says a
critic. There is no doubt OF what this
author can do, and his readers are anx
iously awaiting the date Of "Grau-
stark 50 engagement in this city, and it
should prove to be the theatrical event
of the season. The play is in five acts
and an elaborate scenic equipment,
painted by Castle Il Harvey in their
New York studio, is carried.

A few years ago in Arkansas two men
we're indicted for murder, and in order
to prevent conviction they set fire to the
courthouse and destroyed it. This was
done to destroy the indictments, but it
resulted in the burning Of all the county

The County Records.

L
Fortunately the county records have
survived practically intact since the
organization Of the county and thebuild-
ing Of the first courthouse in 1925, but
will we always have the good fortune Of
preserving our public records from de-
struction by fire il no provision is made
to protect them.
That the county has been saved the
misfortune OF losing its valuable books
and papers in fire is due merely to the
fact that our courthouse buildings have
escaped the thousand and one dangers
resulting from the use Of the large old
fashion fire places, and worse than all,
the vandalism accompanying the raw
ages Of war The county Of Obion has
simply been more fortunate than hun
dreds Of others-an exception to the
rule.
II is hardly probable that we will al
ways be under the lucky star. The
courthouse might stand 4 hundred years
and then be burned. There is no in
surance that will save public records
from fire but the building of a fire.
proof vault, and the county should have
done this years ago. Squire Howard
and others among the clerks and mag
istrates have suggested the need OF a
fire-proof vault for the records on sever
al occasions, but the court has contin-
ued TO disregard the proposition. We
mention the fact now because the coun-
ty finances are in better shape than for
many years, and if ever vault or vaults
are to be built the present opportunity
is the best that has been afforded for
some time.
The Registers Office has small
vault but it will be inadequate in two
more years to hold any more books
The county needs to build in the court
house two vaults, each two stories, one
adjoining the Registers office and ex-
tending up to the Circuit Clerk 8 office. |
The other should be built adjoining the
County Court Clerk : office and extend
cd up to the Clerk and Masters Office
overhead. The books and papers in ev-
cry one Of these offices are very impor-
tant and should be preserved from de-
struction by fire, and the only way to
do this is to keep them in vaults. II
the vaults take up much room some
space in the county court room could
be utilized by these offices. The county
court room is larger than altogether
necessary at any rate.
Remember, gentlemen, il is not
selfish matter that we bring before you.
lit is matter that every man in the
county is concerned in, one as well as
another, no matter where he lives. The
building Of vaults will not be worth
cent to Union City more than simply a
safeguard against fire, and hence il is
no bait that we are offering for the con-
sideration OF the magistrates or the peo-
pie generally. No additions to the

The Perspective

The injurious effects of the system OF
trusts now existing in the United States
have probably reached the first acute
stage, as far as the consumer is con-
cerned. In various cities clubs are or
ganized for the purpose of abstaining
from meat for given length of time,
and pork took a short dip this week.
Heretofore the consumer has felt no
pinch in price The first great CONSOLE
dated branch Of the System was the
Standard Oil This was competition
destroyer, but as far as prices were con-
cerned oil has never been as high as it
was before the organization. One of the
next branches OF the System was Ameri-
can Sugar, and this did not burden the
people with oppressive prices. In fact
the grade OF sugar was raised without
effecting the prevailing prices for long
time. Here, as in the other case, the
consumer did not feel the change,
though competition was sti6ed. The
only war SO far waged against. the trusts
has been by the tobacco raisers OF Ken
lucky. The cotton planters have been
carrying on campaign of education
among themselves to counteract the
effects OF speculation in cotton, and they
have also been seeking the advantages
Of legislation to combat these powerful
infuences.f The trusts have not here
tofore weighed heavily on the consumer
OF course the high prices of meat are
not due altogether to the operation of
the trust, but the trust fixes the price,
and if it is not normal the responsibility
lies with the trust These are the I'M
biased deductions Of the present con-
ditions, and the trust has so far failed to
establish itself in the economy Of our
commercial system. But up to the
present time opposition to the trust has
been ineffective, and now comes the
consumer to try his strength in solving
the problem. The latent forces of
power have been aroused, and the great
meat trust magnate has begun TO sit up
in his watch tower
The trusts have not been greatly terri
fed at the opposition Of competition, but
when the American consumer begins to
survey the field, there will be some I'M
easiness in the ranks Of the System.
In our opinion the Trust System can
not and would not, If it could, bring the
wage Garner happiness and contentment.
There is no theory under heaven where
by ii is safe to entrust the commercial
Of nation in few hands-to
control its wealth and distribute its bene-
fits. It is bad enough to have these
things controlled by centralized govern
ment. But whatever the differences of
opinion there can be no reconciliation
between the principles of democracy
and those which recognize central
power in government or. in the control
Of business. Worse than this would be
the ownership and control of millions by
! few mon with the masses Of the popu-
ation dependent upon them.
The tendency Of these things has a
in history when autocrats
md powers have been reduced by the
ed hand Of crime. So while there is no
oalliation for crime under any system,
ind no excuse in failure to uphold the
light hand of the law, it would be whole
'ome for the country if the System would
rave care--if it would take a view Of
he perspective and learn the value OF
coming events
