GOV. HooPER,s MESSAGE.

MOI In may years nave INC nohp0i
II the Tennessee Legislature received
ON the Governor a stronger or more
.vipful message than that sent to
lem this week by Gov. Hooper. The
.essage shows that Gov. Hooper has
d splendid grasp of State affairs, that
90 is determined to be the Governor
| u all the people and that his SER
ICES are dedicated to the common
| good. No weakling penned that pa
! yer. 1t Is the product Of a strong,
| light thinking, virile, patriotic man,
| conscious of the great duties and re-
, sponsibilities of the high office that
| ne holds and determined that he shall
use his power for the public veal.
The Herald will be very much dis
appointed and not little surpil sed
| If Hooper does not make Tennessee
the best Governor that 1t has had
had since Gen. Bate retired from the
Office twenty-four years ago. Some
good men have filed the Office since
that time but in almost every instance
they were more concerned for their
political future than they were about
the higher interests of the State.
There is no politics in Hoopers
message. He believes that public Of
flee is public trust and so far as lies
within his power he Is determined
that the public affairs of this State
shall be administered upon the same
business principles that govern the
conduct of the affairs of a private or
quasi public corporation. He has no
federation for the idea that Offices are
created and salaries are paid mere
to provide comfortable berths for the
fellows who help to bring the re-
turns up right" The official appoint
ed by Gov. Hooper must earn his sala-
ry by faithful and efficient work for
the people and not as a political ad-
junctN of some office holding machine.
The Governors recommendations
the reform of the penal laws
deserve most favorable consideration.
Too long has the State made its peni-
Tertiary profit producing institu-
ion and neglected what should be the I
primary object of such institutions, I
hat of reform of the inmates. =
1t is morally wrong for the State to [

that the regulars" In the Tennessee
Legislature voted against Reau Z
Folk because they believed that hi
defeat would promote the publ
good? Is there anything in the rec
ord of Mr.. Folk to indicate that hi
defeat by one without any experience
In the insurance field would be OF ad
vantage to the public interests l
the Times believes that Mr.. Folks
defeat was inspired alone by patrio
tic desire on the part of Cox ant
Houk and Davis and company to pro
mote the best interests Of all the PEG
pie of Tennessee 1t Is about the most
gullible newspaper in these parts.
The Herald does not so seriously
object to Mr.. Taylor's politics and II
the reasons for his election were as
indicated by the Times 1t would not
raise the slightest objection to
Folks downfall. But 1t knows as
every intelligent being in the State
knows, that Reau Folk was defeated
tor purely political reasons; that he
was ousted from the office which he
has filled with such signal ability and
fidelity to trust all because he refus-
ed to be subservient to the Patter-
son-Taylor machine.
For years this writer has had a
more or less intimate acquaintance
with the public men of Tennessee;
four years of that time he was capt.
tai reporter for Nashville dailies and
he knows that Tennessee has never
had a more loyal, an ADLER, truer
or a more energetic public servant
than Reau e. Folk. Very very few
of the States servants during the
past twenty years have served her
with the loyalty and the ability than
have characterized Mr.. Folks ad-
Honest, courageous, de-
voted to the highest interests of the
people, working at the States busi-
ness like farm hand, incorruptible,
sincere, as true to duty as the needle
to the poll, Reau Folk should have
been continued indefinitely in the
ofilce that he holds. The public in
terests cannot but suffer when an
offlcial OF his integrity and single
minded devotion to the service is de-
'eated merely for political and fac
ional reasons. The action of the leg
stature is tantamount to a formal
notice to the youth of Tennessee that
10 man can succeed In public life in
his State, no matter how able and
rue and how honest he maybe unless
lie bows in perfect submission to the
ecrees Of the machine bosses and
onsents to prostitute the public ser
ice to the basest ends.

WOULD PAY DEBT
THIRTY YEARS old.
MAN WHO LIVED IN FARGO THIR-
TY YEARS AGO WRITES STAT
ING THAT HE WOULD PAY OLD
DEBT TO FIRM BEFORE HE
DIEs-FIRM LONG DISSOLVED.

All the honest men in the world
are not dead by any means.
A case Of former resident Of Far
go has just come to light which rivals
the story of George washington for
honesty, A man who lived in Fargo
wants to pay a debt of $22, which he
owes to a firm that was dissolved
twenty-five years ago.
Postmaster Plumley has received a
letter from the former resident of the
city stating the facts of the case. It
seems that the indebted man some
thirty years ago, while living here,
contracted debt of either $40 or $22
with one of Fargo's business houses ut
that time. He is uncertain Of which
of the two amounts Is right but Is Of
the opinion that the larger one is
more nearly the correct one.
In his letter the conscience stricken
man stated that he wanted to pay this
debt before he died. He is now an
old man and feels that his life will not
be spared long. He hopes to have the
debt settled before he is called to the
better world.
Mr.. Plumley has investigated the
case and found that the firm to which
The man ewes the $22 has been dissolv-
ed for twenty eight years. Both of the
partners in the business house have
been deal for number Of years, which
makes the affair more complex.
The widow and daughter Of one of
the partners are still living in Fargo.
Their names will be forwarded to the
man who is so anxious to pay the mon
ey and ne will be given an opportunity
to settle in this manner should he de-
sire to do so.

W0MAN's COURAGE is HIGH
English socioIogIst Advances the The.
CRY That This Is Due TO the
Maternal Instinct.

In high police circles woman's trait
of courage that exceeds their physical
strength Is regarded as no new mani
festation in the proverbially weaker
sex.
Ever since became associated
with police work." said one expert
enced officer, Il have noticed that
women seemed always ready to help
any one in apparent difficulties. Per.
haps because they are weak them
selves they are disposed readily to
help the weaker side without thought
OF consequences to themselves"
A highly interesting explanation of
this undoubted bravery in women was
vouchsafed by J. w. Slaughter, the
eminent English sociologist, who as.
signed female courage largely to the
maternal instinct Nothing on earth
can be more ferocious, more danger
GUS and more courageous than the fe-
male animal defending her young.
The maternal instinct in woman is in
itself an inspiration to courage. You
will never see a woman on the edge
of crowd taking the side of the up
per dog. Women, moreover, act more
directly than men. They are more
impulsive and less calculating.
We are accustomed to think Of
women as afraid of this or that, but
It is because they have not really had
experience. Courage is, after all,
matter Of experience. One Is not
afraid of things one is used to or
knows how to deal with.
