NOT A GOOD SIGN.

Heretofore The Herald has taken
occasion to commend the bold stand
OF Attorney-General Faulkner upon
many Of the real issues in Tennes-
see today. III his plea for the en-
forcement of the law and for the abo-
lltlon of the iniquitious back tax ma
cniEe he deserves the sympathy Of
all good citizens. This paper hopes
that Cen Faulkner is entirely sin
core in all that he says to the people.
Ete is a youns man of force and alb
il!ty with bright future, but his
appointment of a campaign marager
Ia certainly not reassuring.
In selecting Representative Miller,
OF Marshall county, to direct his
tampaign, Gen. Faulkner has chosen
one of the rankest reactionaries in
Tennessee democracy. Miller, as a
member of tie last legislature, stood
creek by jowl with the Patterson.
liquor machine upon every issue.
Ee voted against the present fair
and honest election law. He was a
consistent supporter of Dibrell and
his machine. He probably voted for
both of the back tax bills designed
to strengthen that machine. He
offered no protest against the efforts
OF the liquor machine to discredit
wise and honest administration OF
tue affairs Of the state. Mr.. Miller
was so intense a reactionary aud so
loyal in his devotion to the remnants
OF the Patterson machine that he
voted for Tom Taylor against Peau
E. Folk, one Of the best officers and
truest democrats the state ever had.
We repeat tie selection OF Mr.. Miller
by a reform candidate is not a bit
reassuring.

A HUMANE SUGGESTION.

The suggestion of the grand jury
that the sick prisoners at the county
work house be provided with quarters
separate from those used by the in
mates IN good health Is one that
will commend itself to all humane
citizens The county should never
endangor the lives or the health of
tie Unfortunates who are sent to the
house of correction. Most of the
prisoners in the work house are
there for minor offenses and neces-
sarily for short time. Under the
law confinement in the institution is
limited to a brief period, 1t should
never be extended by subjecting
them to disease. 1t should be the
object of the county authorities to
Improve rather than endanger the
health of the work house prisoners.
The county court at its next session
ought to give careful attention to the
r. port of the grand jury and act &C.
cordingly. Delay may endanger the
health of some inmate and every
consideration of Christian charity
and humanity revolts at the idea.

DESPICABlE POLITICS.

poor, unfortunate negro, without
money and without friends, suddenly
died at the workhouse in Nashville
Susi icions were aroused that the ne
gIoe's death was not due to natural
causes, but to the cruel and inhrman
punishment administered by the
gaurds in whose custody he was plac-
ed. In the discharge of his plain du-
ty IN the premises Gov. Hooper called
the attention Of the state board of
charities to the case and asked for
an II vostigation.
These are the plain unvarnished
-.cis Subsequent developments have
shown that the governors suspic-
ions were not without foundation. On
the contrary the facts show that on
the evening before the death Of the
negro he was most cruelty beaten by
a guard and physicians Of standing
testified that the blows which no re-
ceiyed were SUFFICIENT to have caused
his death.
Thet Gov. Hooper did nothing more
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1912-06-28

thar his duty In the matter all fair
minded people must admit. He
could not have done less. And he
should be commended by every patri
otto citizen. But no sooner had the
governor shown his regard for the
.ow, his desire to save the poor and
.1e unfortunate from oppression, than
every liquor organ in the state was
barking at his heels. A despicable
effoli is being made to make politi-
Cal capital out of what appears to
have been nothing less than murder.
In order to detract from the work
house outrage efforts are being made
TO stir up a scandal at the peniten
tiary. If any prisoner has been put
to death at the penitentiary in viola
ton of the law, the guilty parties
should be punished. But the people
of Tennessee are not in humor to
overlook the cruel death of a work
house prisoner because the governor
who asks the investigation Is an enc
my Of the liquor machine. Cases OF
this kind should be investigated
upon their merits. And the newspa-
per who attempts to make political
capital out OF them is an enemy to
the state.

PARKER A MISTAKE.

Tfat the democrats have made a
mistake in naming Parker as the
temporary chairman of the Balti-
more convention is hardly a debate
able proposition. The New Yorker
is a clean and able man, but he has
always been aligned with the re-
dictionaries of the democratic party
aid there cannot be much wisdom in
selecting reactionary as the chair
man of the democratic convention
particularly when the republican
convection has just given mortal
offense to thousands of its progress
sive members whose votes would
help nightly to promote democratic
success next November.
The election of Parker as temper.
any chairman revives the unpleasant
memories of 1904 when he was en-
phatically repudiated by million
and half members of his own party
because Of his factional allignments.
The fact that he is the choice of
Murphy and Tammany Hall does not
add to his popularity among the
democrats of the nation. In the
coming campaign the democratic
party must take issue with the re-
actl' nary wing of the republican
party else there will be no question
before the American people aside
from . personal choice between the
candidates.
Parker has always been aligned
the gold standard or capitalistic ele-
ment OF the democratic party. He
made his race for President in 1904
on gold standard telegram. He
has never manifested any sympathy
for the progressive democracy of
Bryan and the great majority of the
party leaders In other words he is
distinctly out Of harmony with the
dominant sentiment of his party and
his election is calculated to give
of1ense to thousands of democrats all
over the country who have Loyalty
followed the banner of their party
IN tie past four campaigns. Mr..
Bryan is quite right in his protest
against Parker and the convention
will do the party real service If it
shall accept the Nebraskan's advice
and elect another as temporary
chairman.
