DIBRELL'S POSITION.

Comptroller Dibrell should renlem'
Der that little couplet, which as a boy
he ioub.lessly repeatedly heard and
which runs like this
20 wta' tangled web we weave,
"Ehcn FIRST we practice to deceive
The lelial Comptroller is ,e;- ig
OF his own weaving the oftener he
opens his mouth or rather when he
takes his pen in hand" 1t would
be wisdom upon the part of the Comp
troller to desist from further newspa-
per controversy. He certainly is not
helping his indefensible course, on
the contrary his inconsistencies are
the more glaringly shown with each
succeeding letter.
At first the Comptroller gravely as
sured the public that he had taken
eminent legal advise. He also in the
same connection confessed to Gov.
Hooper that he was no lawyer and
having made that confession of his
own lack Of ability sought to impeach
the legal ability of the chief execu-
tive. When called upon to submit
the questions involved to the Attor-
ney General of the State, a lawyer
whose ability, integrity and patriot
ism all acknowledge, Comptroller Dib-
rell insists that he is a first rate law
yer and that he knew all the law
on this question that there is to be
known
The fact is the Comptroller is a
bitter partisan of the Patterson gang
and his course in the present contro-
versy is dictated more by a desire to
promote the fortunes of that con-
scienceless crew than by disinterest-
ed patriotism. Were this not the case
he would only too gladly yield to
the suggestion that the whole matter
be referred to the legal adviser of
the State In the past Mr.. Dibrell
has called upon Attorney General
Gates more frequently than any Off
cial of the State for legal advice He
has made payments and held up war
rants and allowed and disallowed bills
of cost and taken many other equally |
as important steps upon the advice |
of the States chief law officer and
never once has he intimated that he
felt any doubt whatever of the con-
sequences of doing 80.
The Herald does not know how
Gen Gates would determine the ques-
tons at controversy. 1t has never
discussed the matter with the At
torney General but it does know
that any opinion that Gen Gates
would render would be sound law
and a safe guide for the most con-
scientious official of Tennessee. 1t is
evident that the Comptroller's legal
advisers suspect that In view Of the
law and decisions Of the Supreme
Court, the opinion Of the Attorney
General might not be as helpful to
the cause of he Pattersonites as
that rendered by Mr. Dibrell who
confesses that he is not real law
yer"

STRIFE SHOULD END.

Although many OF the supporters Of
the bill to restore the election mach
inery directly to the people are mani
testify insincere at the same time it
does appear to us that if there Is ever
to be harmony and peace In Tennes-
see there is no better basis upon
which to rest it than upon a measure
that restores directly to the people
of the several counties the full con-
troll of their election machinery. The
bill should of course guarantee hon
est and bona fide minority representa-
ton but this can be done by prohibit
ing electors from voting for more
than two of the three members, a
provision that is embodied in the
constitutions of some of the States
to guarantee a non or bipartisan
judiciary.
The Herald realizes that even
among it's own political associates
there are those who honestly believe
that the popular election of commits
sioners would be detrimental rather
than advantageous to the cause of
good government. But after all in
this country the people are the source
of power and if they abuse it, which
they frequently do, we see no remedy
short of the destruction of real Demo
cratic government. In other words
the minority must be fairly treated
but it must be prepared to yield to
where that majority is honestly and
fairly ascertained The election COM
mission law has been the bane OF the
Democratic party in Tennessee. The
bitter internecine strife that has
ragged within the party these eight
years is directly traceable to the ar
bitrary, Unfair and machine made act
of 1897 which Bob Taylor, then Gov
ernor, so earnestly recommended to
the Legislature. And the Democratic
party in Tennessee will never be re-
stored to it's old time power and
prestige and usefulness until we have
done with machine control, election
and special interest
serving. This State got along for
nearly a century with direct control
of the election machinery by the
local officers and we are perfectly |
willing to return to that system.
However, we do protest against the
effort of the liquor organs to make
it appear that the failure to restore
the election machinery to the people
has been thwarted by the reform
members of the Legislature. For more
than sixty days the Legislature sat
with a quorum In both Houses and
during all that time the Regulars
had two thirds majority in the Sen
ate, but never once was the effort
made, not even by the author, to
,ass the election reform bill. But in
stead an infamous, machine, partisan
high handed measure was railroaded
through by the most reprehensible
The Herald knows of its I
'wn knowledge that there were more
han enough Fusionists In the House
Who would have voted for the direct |
ontrol bill if the Patersonites in the
senate had passed it through that {
'ody. This effort to hold the Fusion {
SITS responsible for a failure to effect |
his great reform is so patiently in
incere that it will fail. !

is an UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY
kipling Recital Friday Evening Gives
Promise OF Being Exceptionally
Interesting

1t Is hoped that the citizens of
Grand Forks will not fail to avail
themselves Of the opportunity for a
most enjoyable evening which is Of
fered in the Kipling recital which
has been arranged by the Women's
league Of the University for Friday
evening. Years ago the newspapers
came to the conclusion that in order
to interest and instruct their readers
it was necessary to appeal t them
not only with words but by pictures.
The illustrated daily papers and the
periodicals of today are the outcome
OF this. When Henry ]. Hadfield first
turned his thoughts to r~ecitals Of
great authors he realized the necessity
OF appealing to eye as we'll as ear.
His costumed rccitals. which may be
said Ito make the poets children live
for eye and BRAIN are the result Of
his realization Of this fact. In his re-
cital "Rudyard Kipling; Poet and
Man" which is 10 be given on Friday
evening in the Teachers college audi
forum at the university. the audience
will not only hear Kipling's inimit:
able poems telling of army and An
g%lo-Indian. life. but. will see Tommy
Atkins in his scarlet coat and the An
glo-lndian before them. They will
see and hear McAndrcw pour forth his
love for his engines. and they will he
able to follow Kamal. the East Indian
border robber chief b%reathlessly on
his fierce ride in EAST and West"
The program is rich in Kipling fav-
orites and no pains has been spared
TO make every costum historically
correct.

In a room on the sixteenth door Of
~ Broadway. with a stack Of letters
before her as high as her head. sits
Miss Alberta NJ. Hill. scribbling notes
and names as fast as pencil can fly,
and dreaming Of three things-the ell
ection Of Woodrow Wilson to the
Presidency Of the United States. the
salvation OF American politics and her
own elevation to the assembly Of New
York state. The first two events will
take place simultaneously thirteen
months hence. according to Miss Hill.s
way OF thinking. and the last is
scheduled to happen somewhere in
the neighborhood Of the year 1921.
She is SO certain of all three that day.
dreaming about them does not inter-
fere in the least with her regular
work of keeping a card catalogue
which tells you just what Mr.. so.and-
IONA. thinks about this mar Wilson,
OF New Jersey. and what he thinks
the rest of the folks put his way think
about him.
Now this card catalogue is fearfuIly
and wonderfully made. and it has
been made by Miss Hill. 1t isn't fin
isl!ed yet. and it will not be finished
until they nominate Wilson for Prest-
dent. 1t might he called a candidates

and foes in the United States, but
that is not what Miss Hill calls it.
She calls it her daily digest, and it il
going to help q lot in electing Will
son. she "a and in bringing about
the salvation of American politics,
which to her is the same thing. No
other presidential aspirant ever pos
scsscd such a catalogue as this.
Needless to say. Miss Hill IL q dyed-
in-the.wool suffragtst. Perhaps YOU
saw her leading the procession up
Fifth avenue last spring with Inez
Milholland. or selling votes-for.wo-
men buttons at last years pure food
show in Madison Square garden. No.
It was YOUR misfortune. But it
should not be thought that he SUI
frage convictions have anything to do
with the work she ID doing in behalf
Of Woodrow Wilson.
I'm sure I don't know whether
Gov. Wilson is for suffrage or against
it," said she today. IT don't know
where he stands and l don't care. II
he is against us 1t would make no Diff
ference to me. Mind you, I don't say
that he is. but II he were I know he
would speak from conviction and ac-
cording to his lights. Regardless of

Every time a man writes q. letter to
Gov. Wilson or to his press bureau
telling how he feels about the gov
ernor's candidacy or how the voters
in his neighborhood feel about It, the
letter finds its way to the pile on Miss
Hills desk. and she reads 1t. and jots
down the important things in 1t. Then
she notes the writer's name and sd-
dress. and If he is a Wilson supporter
she dictates her notes to a steno-
who puts them down and
typewrites them on a blue card. If he
is not a supporter. an out-and-out
supporter. he gets a .yhite card. This
card is then filed in its proper place
under the state from which the writ
or comes.
