AN OBJECT LESSON.

Again on Monday the wisdom of
prohibition here was demonstrated
when in the enormous crowds of the
day not single drunk was reported
The crowd was exceptionally large,
one Of the biggest ever seen In Co
lumbia and yet the people were or
derby, quiet and sober The crowd
showed that the county was prosper
Gus, demonstrating the truth of the
late Senator Carmack's observation
that a people could be sober and
prosperous" 1t is strange that in
spite of the generally admitted virtue
of sobriety and the equally general
agreed undesirability of drunkenness
there should be hundreds, in fact al
most half of the people OF this coun-
ty, always ready and anxious and will
ing to vote on the liquor side of every
question and for the liquor candi-
dates. There are we take it compar-
atively few in the county who would
seriously contend that conditions
have not improved here since the
abolition of the open saloon and yet
those who voted for the liquor candi-
dates and are subservient to the liq-
uor influence are numerous. 1t is
condition that is difficult of explana-
ton, but that it exists no one will
question.

PEACE IN TENNESSEE.

Very few if any there are who pre-
fer war to peace. And there are few
Democrats in Tennessee who desire
the prolongation of the present fac
tional struggle. But there are thou
sands of Democrats, the best blood
and Drawn in the State who are oppos-
ed to peace at any price. They are
not willing to surrender the glorious
results which they have achieved in
the long struggle of four years; they
are not ready to surrender the fruits
of a victory that was purchased at
the price of martyrs blood
Just after the recent election The
Herald urged that there be an effort
made to obtain harmony in the Demo
cratic party. But it never suggest
ed that the real Democrats of the
State, those who have kept the faith
and have fought for principle should
make an abject surrender to an in
solent enemy. And it will fight with
all of the power at it's command any
movement which makes the surrender
of the fundamental principles of the
party the price for a peace agree
ment.
The last campaign, the campaign
preceding it, and we might say the
three campaigns that have just pass
ed were fought on the election and
prohibition and law enforcement is
sues. And they were won by the
real Democrats and the patriotic Re-
publicans of Tennessee. The election
law of 1909 was passed by the reform
Democrats and Republicans. 1t is a
good law, it gives fair and just
division of the election officers to the
minority. No attack is now made on
the law, but it is proposed by certain
erswhile trusted leaders of the indie
pendents to surrender the control of
the election machinery to the Patter.
son machine. That will mean the
domination of the elections in all the
cities OF this state by the thugs and
saloon buns And the chief thar.
monizer" in the Legislature, Speaker
Leach, voted for this very act two
years ago. He was elected on plat
form endorsing It.
We have no criticism of the Speak
er's expressed desire for harmony
but we do not propose to pay the
price. His suggestion is not har
mony but abject surrender The Pat
tersonites have abused and maligned
and lied about the Democrats in the
present Legislature; they have shown
every disposition to prefer a continu
alton of the fight; they have shown
no desire whatever for harmony and
until they do manifest an inclination
to treat with their opponents upon
a fair and honorable basis there can
never be harmony in Tennessee. The
passage Of the harmony" law will |
destroy all prospects for harmony In !
the Democratic party of this State.
