HAMS MISSION SUCCEEDED.

| 1t is evident that Ham did not go in
vain to the brewers of Cincinnati and
| the distillers of Louisville. That his
mission was a success is attested by
the card which he has the audacity to
address Ito the Democracy of Ten
nessee." In that card Ham tells them
that he is not going to quit the race
for Governor. That card was issued
after Ham returned from his slush
fund hunt and after he had submitted
the results of his campaign to Muir
derer Dune Cooper, Messenger Benton
McMillin and Brewery Ban Murray.
The promises of the sinews of war
were evidently satisfactory and this
bunch of worthless, who dare to call
themselves the Democratic party, told
Ham to stay in the race. And Ham
says he is going to stay.
If the people of Tennessee needed
additional proof of the deep humilia-
ton and the low estate to which Pat
terson and Patterson's gang have
brought this proud old State 1t would
be furnished in this latest Patterso-
nian episode. The Governor of Ten

Iy Tenesseans can never drink to the !

Despite the apparent decrease in the
scholastic population of Maury ooun.
ty there are some most gratifying
features in the annual report of Sup
erintendent Graham. The most no
table Improvement in the public
schools of the county is shown in the
healthy gain made in the enrolment.
More children are today attending
the schools of the county than ever
before And the attendance is better.
The average number of days on which
the children go to school is feature
of the report that means much for the
ultimate good of the county.
1t is better to have smaller popu-
lation and have that population in
school than to make reports of great
gains in the number of school age
without a corresponding increase in
those who attend school. There is
mo good reason why the enrolment
should not contiue to increase. Maury
county's school system is rapidly de-
veloping into one of the best In Tenn
essee. No fact stands out more con-
spicuously in the recent history of
this county than the growth OF school
sentiment. There is today a strong
er sentiment among the tax payers,
the substantial business men of the
town and county for a first class
school system than there has ever
been. The County Court has felt the I
effect of this sentiment and it has
been made manifest in the increased /
that have been voted for the
support Of the schools.
Whatever is worth having is worth
paying for. We cannot have school
system that will be worthy of the
county without paying the price. But
money spent for public education is
an investment and one that pays
splendid dividend. The tax payers,
however, must feel that they are get
ing value received for their taxes. And
What ever shows development of the
schools makes stronger the claims OF
,ur educational interests upon the
public support. The teachers are not
eceiving the salaries that they
hould but we are making progress

Georgia Democrats sounded a note
for progress and good government; on
Tuesday. The election of Hoke Smith
is a hopeful sign. 1t will encourage
the friends of good government in ev-
cry State in the South. 1t proves that
the reactionary- wave that swept over
the South two years is not going to en-
.dure.
The Georgia election taken with the
result in this State earlier in the
month is a most gratifying sign. Hoke
Smith was the champion of good clean
government. He was bitterly assailed
by the liquor power and the other
selfish corporate interests. These
were powerful enough to compass his
defeat two years ago, but the sound
common sense, and patriotism of the
people triumpbed and better and
brighter day has dawned for the old
Cracker State.
Tennessee sends greetings to Geor-
gia. Two years ago Georgia spoke
first and the friends of good govern
ment mourned all over the State The
verdict had a discouraging effect in
Tennessee and the forces of graft and
greed won here. This year TenDes-
see blazed the way and Georgia fol
lowed suit.
These elections prove that after all
those who lose faith in popular gov
are pessimistsg There is no
reason for doubling the
Dtriotism and the inherent honesty of j
4 majority of the electorate. They
may and often do go wrong. Might /
.riumphs and right is dethroned but in !
he end the sun shines and God rules.
rhe political atmosphere in Tonnes
zee and Georgia has been clarified.

,ent and we shall have another victo-

But error, wounded, writhes In pain
And dies amid her worshippers.
