a NoN.PARTIsAN VICTORY.

An analysis of the returns of the re
cent judicial election show that 70
the first time in the history of Ten
lnessee a great non-partisan, independ
lent, patriotic verdict has been rend
Iered. 1t was not Democratic vic
tory: it was not a Republican achieve
Iment. 1t was triumph for the PEG
Iple of Tennessee. For once they rose
superior to factional and party align
ments and voted for the welfare and
happiness and security of the State.
1t was an achievement of which any
Tennessean may be proud; it WAS a
victory that will mark one of the
brightest pages in the future history
of the old commonwealth.
1t was not sectionalo victory. For
one time, perhaps the only time in
the history of the State, every divis-
ion, East, Middle and West voted for
the same candidates The great Dem
ocratic counties of West Tennessee
like Obion and Madison and Weakley
and Gibson rolled up majoriiies
that rival the majorities given in the
rock ribbed Republican counties of
Cooke, and Jefferson and Carter and
Sewer.
Thirty-four of thirty-four counties
in East Tennessee; twenty-seven of
forty-one counties in Middle Tennes-
see and nineteen of twenty-one in
West Tennessee joined the triumph
ant procession. The majority of over
$1,000 given the independents has
been equaled but twice by candidates
for Governor in Tennessee. Porter's
majority in one election was about
$4,000 and Senter defeated Stokes
in 1869 by $4,000. But neither of
these candidtes carried so large a per
cent of the counties as the Independ
ents.
The result established many new
records. 1t shows unanminity of
sentiment, union of the people. an
,bliteration of sectional lines never
before known in Tennessee. The re-
Iult will do much to wipe out party
ines. Hereafter political parties in
must show decent res
,ect for the best sentiment of the
state and must be continually on their
.ood behavior to merit the confidence
nd secure the votes of the people
( the State.

CIVILIZATION CHALLENGED.

America with record for homi

its boosted civilization will suffer still
further In the estimation OF the world
as the result of the dastardly and cow

country's metropolis is world figure.
During his short career as Mayor Of
New York he has made a notable re-
cord Of achievement, and the news OF
this outrage will every where carry
reproach to our civilization. Already
this nation is the most homicidal ma
ton in the entire civilized world. Its
criminal record is the bloodiest known
to modern national life.
There is too much political assassi

is no reason why the same Iibrar,

| A second need of Columbia is an ad
Iequate high school building. If W,
lcould only throw onto the page the
pictures of school buildings in cthel
towns. Of our size! Ours would lool
like antedeluvian.
The high school is today Columbia {
biggest asset It is the place where
she gives her sons and daughters that
higher culture on the Democratic ba.
is that fits for practical life, or looks
toward advanced collegiate course, and
it is the fitting sequel to her excellent
grammar schools.
Next year the present quarters will
be all too small. SO many pupils CON-
ing in from the county. When all
the space is used still there will not
be room. A $4,000 modern high
school building will be necessity,
and the community should respond
to the call with willingness and with
pride.
A third desirable institution Is o
city hospital. Columbia is the center
for several counties and for a very
large well-to-do citizenship In her own
county. People needing surgical and
service should not be requir-
ed to make SO long trip as to Nash
ville-the means should be provided
here. And with 90 good . territory
10 draw from, it should be possible to
run this institution without making
It charge upon the city or upon any
organization.
Columbia is well equipped with ply
'icians, and they rank very high.
Among them should be found some
orm Of organization as an adequate
'asis. Not first the building and
Equipment Of hospital u the prob
EN-, but the proper conduct Of il az

And lastly, Columbia, with 30 many
eople coming in daily from the coun-

WHAT COL UM5IA NEEDS.
BY Rev. Geo. n. Mack.
ssAa4+4 j

Doubtless Columbia needs Inany
things, and to see that much is hoEe
full. For If a city or a person gets be
yond help it is when they are so self
contented as to desire nothing becser
Self-complacency is baneful--it stops
the flow of blessings every time. A
divine discomfort" is necessary to
progress and development In every
sphere.
Our Lord recognized the part play
ed by the open receptive attitude and
he made it a prime quality in his dis
ciples when he placed at the opening
of his great sermon on the mount and
as the first beatitud. Blessed are the
poor in spirit for theirs is''-all things
the whole" kingdom of heaven
It's good for a town to know its
needs, to measure itself by the at
tainments of others. AS it is good
for man to know his weakness and
limitations that he may strengthen
himself just there.
Columbia has gained much in the
past few years. Absent friends tell
US SO when they return. Our side
walks are great improvement, re-
Quiring as they do better lawns and
streets And a system of sewerage
will allow us TO make claim to civil |
ization. And a city administration |
that has these two sets of improve
ments to it's credit, has Just claim
on the gratitude of the people.
But there are some institutions that
Columbia sorely needs and which she
ought to have for the welfare of her
young, for the comfort and health OF
her people.
Let us place first what seems most
and fundamentals public

this hopeful sign. No newspaper in
New York State has yet attempted TO

Of the attempted killing have been
sent broadcast over the country. No
effort has been made to make it APP
pear that what was intended for cold

organ has yet dared to Islander the
Governor of New Jersey by intimat- |
ing that Gaynor's assassin would be
