AN ENCOURAGING SIGN.

The meeting of the Board of Trade
1uesday night, bringing together for
discussion of the business interests
If Columbia large number Of repre-
sentative business men, Is an encour-
aging indication that there has been
created during the past year a strong
or Columbia and Maury county senti-
ment for push and progress than has
zen known here in many years. The
Board of Trade during the year that
it has been in eyistence,h has not achiev-
ed any great things, but members tes-
tify that they have already felt in a
most profitable way, results from the
local pride that has been generated.
There is more loyalty to Columbia
products, to Columbia institutions
and to Columbia interests now than
there was before the organization of
The Board of Trade. People are buy
ing Columbia products and from Co
lumbia merchants that have made a
practice of going elsewhere for their
purchases.
The Board acted with wisdom
and patriotism when it decided to ad-
vocate an extension of Columbia's
corporate limits. Every city in the
country has greatly enlarged its terri
tory during the past ten or twenty
years, but Columbia's line remains
as contracted as they were forty years
ago. There will naturally be some OBJ
lection to an extension of the limits.
There are always those who stand in
the way of progress, but The Herald
believes that as rule the suburban
ties will be more than willing to meet
the urbanites half way in reaching
fair and Just adjustment of differences
that will arise as the result of cor
poration extension.
The business men of the city also
showed commendable public spirit
when they resolved that the trans
State highway must come through
Maury county regardless of the cost.
When once aroused to the importance
of this great enterprise The Herald
believes that the farmers and mer-
chants of the county will offer induce
ments that are absolutely certain to

WHO PAYS THE COST?

sAs little and insignificant as 1t may
appear to the politicians and the place
hunters who live by strife and turmoil,
the deadlock In the Tennessee Legis-
lature is costing the people of this
State $1,000 day in direct taxes. A
legislative session averages about $50.
900 for seventyfive days or slightly
more than $1,000 per day. Already
six days or nearly one-tenth Of the
session has been wasted and the tax
payers must foot the bills. Ultimate
ly the regulars" will take the cath
and draw ay for these full seventy-five
days. OF course they are not entitled
to 1t, but not one of them will decline.
Two years age thirteen Senators who
forgot their oats fed from the State
Of Tennessee and deadlocked business
for more than q week and all Of them
were paid for full time.
The taxpayers must pay the cost.
The people who care but little for the
personnel of the Office holders; whose
interest in government Is inspired on
ly by hope that it may be economi-
cally, wisely and honestly administer
ed, hope that is very seldom realiz-
cd, these must pay the expenses Of the
factional and disgraceful tie up Of the
legislative mill at Nashville. But no
one cares for the taxpayer. He will
fume and fuss now while the States
disgrace is fresh In his mind but by
the next election he will forget and
forgive. And the politicians know
this, hence the liberty which they
take with other folks funds.
However, the thousand dollars a
day that the Legislative disgrace is
costing the State is directly only a
fractional part Of the loss which the
people are sustaining Capital has
been and Is being frightened away
from Tennessee by such fragrant dis
regard of the law; business is suffer
ing; the business of counties and mu-
inequalities is in confusion because of
the status of local legislation. The
State is suffering for the lack Of wise
and progressive legislation along COM
mercial and industrial lines. The
whole tax system needs reforming.
The Legislature could do great SER
vice to the people but so long as \ mi
nority Of the House cares more for
Patterson's Office holding, Office hunt
ing and pardon brokerage gang moth
ing can be done. In the meantime Mr..
Humble Taxpayer pays the bill.

THE STATES DISGRACE.

lHoTe VIII DC general ToJOlCluS over
the State that peace has been declar-
ed and the members of the Legislature
will come together and legislate for
the good Of the State. That the reo-
pie of Tennessee will, however, ap-
prove a condition of affairs where to
obtain constitutional quorum In the
Legislature and again start the wheels
of government an agreement between
two politicians, neither of whom has
any official connection with the law
making body, for the disposition of
certain matters within the province
of the solons was necessary we do not
believe.
To state the case is to bring a blush
of shame to every patriot of the
State; it is to call again to the at
tention of the world the disgraceful
conditions which exist in Tennessee
as the result of Pattersonism. The
Herald is glad that there is again to
be truce in the State, but it does not
believe in peace at the sacrifice Of
honor, of right and of the highest In
terests Of the State, To admit that
two political bosses must agree to a
certain settlement of questions over
which they have no legal control but
which are wholly within the province
of body of which neither Is a mem
Der before representative government
can continue in the State Ia to ad-
NIT that Tennessee stands disgraced
in the eyes of the world. 1t Ii an ad-
mission that Democratic institutions
no longer exist In this State. But
these are the facts and The Herald
believes the people should know them.
Both parties to this unholy, unlaw-
full and disgraceful transaction, both
the Fusionists and the Regulars are at
fault now. The former were clearly
within their rights so long as they
continued to assemble daily at the
capitol as the constitution and law d.
reefs, but whenever they consented to
treat with lot of political bucca-
neers and Office seeking pirates who
were without the pale of the law they
placed themselves upon the same
plane of the lawbreakers. They are
In the attitude of having compound
ed a felony. The Fusionists by max
ing any sort of agreement for the dis
position OF matters that can only prop
erly be determined upon the boor of
the House upon their sacred oaths
have forfeited the esteem and conf.
dence of the people which they had
secured as result of their honorable,
consistent and law abiding course.
For the first time in the history of
a free State, for the first time In the
annals OF Anglo-Saxon government
majority Of the peoples representa-
tives have permitted themselves to be
held up and dictated to by a lot of
lawless political pirates whose first
allegiance Is to broken and discred-
tied machine and its infamous master
and not to the people of the State.
Peace purchased at such price is not
peace, it is a cowardly surrender. A
dark chapter was written in Tonnes
sees history when the newspapers
Haunted an agreement between two
political bosses that proved the
States disgrace.

AS TO HARM oNY.

| Having no interest In government
except that prompted by patriotic
desire that it be honestly and eff
GENTLY administered, having no poll
tical ambition for itself or its editor
and caring nothing about Offices ex.
cept that they be filled by wise, hon.
est and capable administrators, The
Herald some two months ago express
ed the hope that for the peace and
welfare of the State and for the sood
of the Democratic party some honor
able compromise might be made be-
tween the discordant elements of the
dominant party.
The Herald was moved in its en-
deavor to promote harmony solely by
a high regard for the welfare OF the
people. It had no Interior or selfish
motive. Nevertheless its motives
were misunderstood and it's purposes
misconstrued. The opposition, conf
dent of it's ability to control both
Houses of the Legislature and there
by undo all of the good work that
had been accomplished these two
years, took our attitude as corfes-
sion of defeat and openly scnrned
our tender of the olive branch. Some
of our associates in the good fight
likewise withheld full credit for our
sincerity and gave no support to our
endeavors to accomplish most
laudable purpose.
The Herald believed, when 1t
made it's suggestion of compromise,
that the time had come for an hon
orable adjustment of differences in
Tennessee. 1t was satisfied that the
reformers with whom it has been
aligned and with whom 1t has fought
as hard as it could fight all during
the long struggle, would control the
organization of the House and it
was fully satisfied that the opposition
would have a majority In the Senate.
Realizing therefore that neither side
was in a position 10 punish the ether,
that both stood upon perfect terms
of equality, that an honorable adjust
ment of differences, In view of the
circumstances, could not be consid-
cred as surrender of principle by
either party, The Herald was fully
persuaded that November last was
the time of all times to bring peace
to a faction rent, strife disturbed
State and harmony to disrupted
party that has yet a mission to full
fill
There are a thousand reasons why
there should be peace in Tennessee
and harmony In the Democratic
party and no one sound argument for
continued strife. The highest inter-
ests of the State, its business, its
religious and its social life will suf-
fer if the war is continued. The
Democratic party must be united be-
fore the next campaign begins or 1t
will not be united at all And peace
and harmony cannot be secured un

less there is o spirit OF fairness, OF
give and take manifested by Dotn
sides to the controversy. However
frankly, The Herald cares more for
the welfare of the State than 1t does
for the interests of any party or fac
ton. It was not prompted by any
narrow partisan spirit. 1t Is an In
dependent Democratic journal. Ii
necessary to sacrifice the Democra-
tic party in order to bring peace and
happiness to the people OF Tennes-
see it would make the sacrifice, but
it knows that such a sacrifice Is not
necessary.
Recent events have, we regret to
note, about dispelled whatever ling
ering hope we had that our sugges-
lions might take definite form and be-
come the basis of an agreement. The
effort of the so-called regular" fac
ton to control the House OF Repre-
sentatives contrary to the express
will of the people by threats, intlmi-
dation and, it is charged, open brib-
cry, and failing in that the determine
ton of minority to prevent an Or
ganizauon have well night disap-
pated whatever chance there was for
peace and cessation of histilities,
There can be no honorable COM
promise with faction that has no
regard for the law, that imports wo-
men lobbyists to Nashville to tempt
members from the straight and mar
row path, that in bagrant disregard OF
solemn obligations stops the wheels
of legislation. Months ago, in fact
Just after the election, The Herald
conceded that the Patterson faction
had secured control of the Senate.
No effort was made to change that
majority, into minority. In the
House, however, the Patterson fac
ton refused to abide by the will of
the people and openly boosted that 1t
would induce enough of the fusionists
to desert the cause and violate their
obligations to the people to turn q
minority into majority.
The Herald has not abated one jot
or title it's position as an advocate
of peace and hormony, but it must
have honorable peace and harmony
that will be fair and just to all. In
the light of recent events 1t confesses
with sorrow that it sees but the very
faintest hope of a realization Of its
aspiration that Tennessee might once
again be free from strife; free from
bitterness; free from internecine
war; free to. develop it's resources;
free to march uninterrupted to a full
fillment of it's glorious mission.
At any time the socalled regulars
manifest the same regard for the vel
fare of the State and are actuated by
the motives which inspired this jour-
nal we shall be ready to lend our ef-
forts to an honorable adjustment.
