WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.

That sentiment on the question Of
equal suffrage is rapidly chang
ing is demonstrated whenever
this question comes to the front
in any State. Only last fall the State
of Washington joined the ranks of the
equal suffrage States and it is nota-
BILE that in no State where the expe-
riment has been tried has there been
any movement to go back to the old
order.
The other day Louis D. Brandeis,
the great peoples lawyer and admit
tedly one of the ablest advocates in
the country, acknowledged that he
had changed his views of the ques-
ton. Twenty-Five years ago he was
opposed to womans suffrage, now he
believes that it would help to solve
many of the present day problems.
Others have undergone the same
change of mind And while 1t will
doubtless be many years before we
have universal equal suffrage In this
country there Is no doubt but that
the tendency is decidedly in that d.
rection.
We are not prepared to say, from
the proof before us, that woman's suf-
frage in the West where the expe-
riment has been tried, has justified
the prediction of it's advocates, on
the contrary there seems to have
been little improvement in the social
political and financial conditions of
those States. Nevertheless as an act
Of justice to a large portion of the
most intelligent citizenship of the
State one can hardly deny the tight
of women to the ballot When we
see the large number of illiterate, con-
scienceless and irresponsible men
who are allowed the suffrage 1t is
difficult to give an adequate reason
why intelligent, patriotic women who
pay taxes and contribute largely to
the support of our institutions should
not have voice in the affairs of
State.
And if the women will make their
appeal upon the proposition thai JUS
tice demands an equal suffrage they
will make much greater progt ess
than they have made. First, howev-
er, the women must demonstrate that
they really desire the suffrage before
they can expect to obtain it. Unless
they complain of the apparent inius-
tice of the present system they can
hardly expect the men to become
aroused over the situation. We are
persuaded that whenever the women
show that they really desire the bal
lot it will not be long before we Lave
equal suffrage.

AMENDING RECIPROCITY.

Doubtless some of the Senators
who are trying to amend the Canadian
reciprocity bill are sincere. They
probably honestly believe that the
public interests can best be promoted
by making more general revision
Of the tariff through amendments to
this one bill. But a large majority
Of those who are taking this course
are actuated solely by adesire to kill
the bill. They are trying to assassi.
nate most meritorious piece of leg
islation by amendments.
Every sincere friend of tariff re-
form, every real Democrat, concerned
for the fulfillment of his partys
pledges to reform the tariff, will vote
against all amendments to the reel
procity bill. To amend the measure
will be to jeopardize it's final passage
and the consumation of a trade ar
rangement between this country and
Canada that will rebound to the great
benefit of the people of both countries.
The act, it is true, does not go far
enough and it has Objectionable fea-
lures, but the sincere reformer pre-
fers to take a half loaf rather than
none at all And the Democrats, If
they are sincere, WIN give the people
a measure of relief from the oppres-
sive tariff schedules If they cannot re-
form them all now. Passed without
amendment In the Senate the reci-
procity bill is certain to become a
law. It's promp approval by the
President is assured. Loaded down
with amendments 1t would run the
auntlet of a Presidential veto and II
approved there is no certainty that 1t
would be accepted by the Canadian
government.
There is but one sure road to tariff
reform. It is a slow and not alto
ether smooth one, but It is absolute
iy safe. II the Democrats do no more
during this entire Congress than Sc
cure the enactment Of the recirroc-
ity bill they will be entitled to the
gratitude Of the American people.

THE FAIR PREMIUMS.

| The Directors Of the Maury County
Fair Association have shown lnost
commendable enterprise and public
spirit in the liberality of the prem
iums which they have offered for the
coming fair. No county fair in Ten
nessee ever offered so handsome a
lot of prizes in the agricultural and
| live stock departments Outside OF
! the purses in the races the premiums
will aggregate more than $4,000. This
should bring to the fair the greatest
line of exhibits ever seen at a coun'
ty fair in the South.
The Herald believes that the IL
beral premiums will pay in the end
It is our judgment that the splendid
encouragement thus given the great
resources Of the county will be ap-
preciated by the public and that this
appreciation will be evidenced by the
largest attendance that we have ever
had 1t is not extravaganza Bur on
the contrary a wise policy that
prompts the encouragement of the
one great industry of the county.
This is and always will be preem-
inently an agricultural section. We
have no great manufacturing and in
dustrial enterprises and probably
never will have them. The wealth
Of the county must largely consist OF
It's lands ana their products and what
ever will tend to increase the value
and quantity of the latter is deserv
ing of the most liberal encourage
ment.
PROFESSIONALLY the community will
profit by successful fair, such an in
stitution AS the Maury County Fair
Association proposes to give the pub
lie. 1t Is in no sense profit making
affair, on the contrary the associa-
ton, if necessary is prepared to lose
money. It's prime purpose is the ad
gertising and exploiting of the agri-
cultural resources of the county and
no matter if there is a pecuolary
loss there is not a member of the as
ISOLATION who will not be fully salts
fed if the fair proves a blessing to the
people of the county.

THE PRIMARY.

The direct primary in practice has

it did in theory. After a dozen years
If trial in three fourths of the States

not be said to be the unqualified sue
cess that was predicted for it. On
the contrary it must be confessed
that while the primary has not cured
The ills of which we complained il has
actually originated some that were
not common to our political life of
decade ago. Conditions in some re-
spects are actually worse under the
primary plan than they were while we
had the convention and caucus sys-
TEN.
The primary works beautifully in
theory. 1t appears to be the only re-
ally Democratic scheme for party
nominations. 1t gives the people the
right, without the intervention of the
party boss or the caucus, of selecting
their own nominees. 1t vests all pow
er in the people directly. 1t destroys
the machine; it ends corruption be-
cause the people, the source of all
power are beyond the arts and wiles
and temptations of the corruptionist
This is the theory of the primary.
But in practice has it actually &C
complished any of these results? Are
our nominations after all really made
by the people? Are the primaries
free from fraud and corruption? Is
the party boss less of a factor row
that he was before we instituted the
primary? Has the standard Of public
service been improved ?Are the pub
lie servants nominated in primaries
superior in mental equipment and
moral force to those who were named
In the old tine convention? What
evil of our political system have we
cared by the change? These queries
are not asked In a spirit of criticism
but for the purpose Of inviting atten-
ton to a system that has manifestly |
not only failed to improve conditions
but has actually made them
worse.

pearance- for eene-
fit of Funds to Be Given on Friday
Night, July 7.

| Extensive improvements are being
made on the public school building at
Santa Fe. This is one of the largest
and most commodious and best ap-
pointed school buildings In the State
and when the repairs are made Santa
Fe and community will have probably
the best country school building In
the county.
Work of doing the repairs has al
ready commenced and the house Is
being completely remodeled. 1t ID
being treated to paint inside and out
a new roof is being put all over the
building, the fences are being fixed
up and changes made in the arrange
ment of the interior rooms.
The school building Is admirably
located on a splendid campus tight
near the center of the village but in
recent years it has been allowed to
run down and become somewhat an
eyesore. Recently, however, the spir-
1t of progress and educational enter
prise that has been manifested else
where became active here and it was
decided to restore the building to its
old time appearance and arrange
ment.
The improvements will be finished
within the next two or three weeks
ard all will be in readiness for the
opening of the next term. The i'm
provements will cost between $3.50
and $500 and the money has been
largely secured from public spirited
individuals. In order to further sup
plement the fund there will be an en-
tertainment at the school house on
Friday night, July 7.

This paper has never seen the
day or hour when it would condone
