: UNCLE TOMS LETTER.

" " " " " " 70 Y, =
Well, I've been raking tattlers over
the Goals. Now you must not coDsid-
er that favor suppressing the truth,
for do not. believe where a man
sets himself up as leader and teach
er among the people, his life and con-
duct should be an open book, and ev-
cry person should know exactly the
kind Of man he is. / can't somehow
or other look with favor on an impos-
ter. 1t always did hurt me to have
my confidence abused, as sometimes
has happened in life. My idea is that
the truth is always better than a kind
of evasion. 1t is this way, if have
placed confidence in a man and his
friends who have known him longer
than l have, say he is all right, and
then anything comes up that shows to
me he is not all right, l feel that /
have been imposed on by the people
who knew the facts and concealed
them, thus deceiving me, and no
amount of whitewash can deface the
scar made by the deception Deceiving
your friends is bad policy, and soon
er or later they will find out that you
have deceived them, and they will new
er again have much confidence in
what you say and less in what you
do. Evasion and deception are twins
and honest, truthful people can't af-
ford to resort to such to cover up
the life and conduct of some scamp,
for as sure as they do it the truth will
out and nine times in ten. the ones
they thought to help will betray their
confidence. It is best never to conceal
anything where the public is concern
ed.
Now. my opinion and idea is that a
man who sets out to deceive and fool
the public and appear before them
what he is not, is doomed to meet
with failure. The very act itself
shows black and corrupt heart. Try
as we may, we never can give such a
person our confidence any more. I've
been a tolerable close observer, and
am persuaded the devil has all kinds
and classes of men in his service,
while God has none but the pure and
clean in His, therefore, every servant
of God does not shun searching in
vestigation of their life and conduct |
and courts such an investigation.
The truth will out and You can be
sure your sin will find you out, also.
Deception may flourish for season.
but not forever. No amount Of white
washing will cover up mans life.
Therefore straightout confession and
repentance is the only thing that will
produce anything worth noticing.
I've heard men say SO often that there
Is nothing to certain tales and stories
until doubt very much what kind of
a conception some people have of
wrong doing anyway.

AN APPEAL TO VOTERS
SILENA M. HOLMAN

In little more than a month afte
this letter reaches the public an cleo
tion will be held which will decide tn,
fate of our prohibitory laws. l an
writing this to urge the voters of Ten
nessee to stand by this law, and cleo
only those men to the Legislature who
will go there pledged to vote against
any effort to secure a repeal of these
laws, or any part of them. For, al
all know, a most determined effort il
being made to elect a legislature in
favor of their repeal, at least of such
part of them as relates to our cities.
They tell us of the utter impossible
ty of enforcing the laws in the cities,
and point to the lawless conditions
now existing there, as reason why
these laws should be repealed, and Ii
cense, substituted, under which the
liquor traffic may be controlled.
But we should remember that no
effort. whatever, has been made in
these cities to secure the enforcement
of these laws, on the part of those in
power, whose duty it is to enforce
them. But, on the contrary, every
possible effort has been made to render
them ineffective, in the hope of bring
ing discredit on the laws, and so max
ing it the easier to secure their repeal.
We believe that q spirit of common
fairness demands that as these laws
are on our statute books, they should
not be repealed until at least some
effort had been made to enforce them.
And we believe that when men in fav-
or of the laws and their enforcement
are elected to our highest offices, 80
per cent of the difficulty of enforcing
them will vanish.
The trend of the times Is towards
the abolition of the liquor traffic in
the state and in the nation. County
by county, the liquor traffic is being
driven from most of the states Of the
union. Nine. states have outlawed
the business altogether, Tennessee be-
ing one of the number. Tennessee has
never taken backward step since the
passage of the four mile law in 1877.
I beg of the voters of Tennessee to see
to it that SO far as their vote and in
fuence go, Tennessee shall take no
backward step when the Legislature
meets In 1911.
beliege that an overwhelming ma
jority Of the people of Tennessee are
in favor of the complete abolition of
the liquor traffic in this state, and on
ly if the voters allow other issues to
cloud this one, would it be possible to
secure the repeal of anv part of our
