The problems Of a class IN any
community are in fact the prob.
lens Of the community itself, for
It's prosperity and even It's exist
ence may turn upon the proper
solution of the problems Of its
component classes.
Citizens as individuals and as
communities must face this fact
and must meet their problems
as they arise. No country and
no community is exempt from
the evils that result from unwise
policy and blind folly.
Shortsighted selfshness has
been at the bottom of substan-
TALLY every misfortune that has
befallen nation, a state or a
community, and the misfortune
usually has been foreseen by
persons wise enough to discern
the inevitable result of mistaken
policy.
No person can afford to play
the ostrich. Dangers unseen
are not the less dangerous, while
dangers seen may be protected
against, AS a dangerous policy
does not produce its evil results
at once its tendency must be
studied and understood in order
to be changed.
Mail order business is worst
ing the country retailer; Parcels
Post promises to injure him fur
ther, and other policies appear
to tend to the elimination of the
retailer. Many retailers are
blind to their danger and refuse
to see; many farmers deny OF
disregard the need of the loca
retailer. The blind must bC
made to see; the sleeping t.
awake and the Indifferent mus
be made active. The task is tire
mendous and the workers are
too few.

Gan. Waller S. Faulkner

Gen. Walter S. Faulkner Of
Lebanon has announced his can
didacy for Governor, on a plat
form which is clear and frank in
its attitude on public questions.
He would leave the liquor ques.
ton to the determination of the
white voters of Tennessee, a
method that is not Objectionable
to the temperance people of the
state. Gen Faulkner is a young
man of unusual brilliance and
power. The writer knew him
only casually when we both were
boys, and even then his striking
ly handsome features, polished
manners, virlle mind and lofty
ideals marked him as no medi-
OGRE man, and although we have
not seen him for sixteen years,
with deep interest and pleasure
we have watched his career, full
filling, as it has, the bright prom
Use Of his boyhood. His platform
pronouncements ring clear and
true. They have not that poll,
,tician's evasive note of uncer-
tainty. That he will be strong
factor in the contest we have no
doubt, and should victory come
to him, the honor would be wor.
thily bestowed.

DlscORDANT HARMONY

The Nashville Democrat AYERS
that it does not mean to exclude
prohibitionists from participa
ton in the primary ordered for
May 16; that its commentator
of Messrs McCarn and Dyer for
staying out of the primary and
it's insistence that the Tennes-
sean say whether it still adheres
to prohibition principles, is not
susceptible Of this construction.
The Banner is willing that the
Democrat be its own interpreter
but its efforts in the interest of
harmony have a strangely dis.
cordant sound.
1t doesn't credit the sincerity
of its morning contempory that
represents the former Indepen-
dent faction. 1t continually
prods that paper and puts such
construction on the harmony
agreement as will make it diff
cult, if not impossible, for the
Independents to accept its terms.
The attitude of the Democrat
appears to be arrogant. 1t per.
mits the Independents to return,
but does not agree with them on
terms of equality. 1t continues
to comment acrimoniously on the
course taken by the Independ.
ents when at variance with the
Regulars. This MOI ming it uses
the statements of Mr. w j Oil
yer, whom it compliments with
the designation "a dlstingui
Republican leader" in an en-.
deavor to discredit Senator Lea,
a leader in the harmony move
ment, and to cast aspersions or
the manner of Senator Lea's
election that was effected mainly
by Independent Democrats.
While the Democrat processes
to desire harmony it keeps W
the old quarrel and seems to en-
deavor to irritate the faction will
which it now processes to dwell
in unity
And while that paper is 81
sbeptical concerning the. Tennes
seams sincerity it must be saic
that TO an impartial observer it,
own desire for a harmonious par
ty is demonstrated in very re
markable manner. Banner.

Though lessness of self interest
inspires the thought, that ''the
prohibition law should be repealed
because it is violated in the cities. !"
No law should be repealed be-
cause it is violated. Such a course
would annul State sovereignty,
and enthrone lawless anarchy.
The real question in the matter
of repeal is, is the law right or
wrongl
Does the traffic benefit or harm
the people9
Who can say that there is good
in Intoxicating beverages, or deny
that the traffic is a giant evil, de-
structive to health, intellect, pros
perity, morality and religion.
The fact that this law is vioIat.
ed openly and defantly in a few
cities, in spite of the protest Of
good men and women, that need
protection against the Iawless anc
vicious, is conclusive evidence,
that it should not be repealed.
Should local mobocracy domi.
nate the State and force the repeal
of a good law9
Never. The peerless sovereign

Again the Poor Fat Man.

Among the passengers on q down.

man, a lean man, who proved to be
deaf. and couple Of giggly girls. On
one Of the side streets German band
was engaged In making life miserable
for the residents Of the neighborhood.
The fat man shifted uneasily in his
seat and remarked sarcastically to the
lean man in low tone. "Music."
Tho lean man put his hand to his
ear and said. "Eh!"
"Music," repeated the man In loud.
er tones.

said the lean man.

that the passengers all Uttered and
the little giggly girls all grew red In
the face.
"Oh," said the lean man as he
turned around and looked about him.
The little German band was out of
sight by this time. and the passengers
laughed immoderately at the vain at.
tempts OF the unfortunate man to find
the object Of the fat mans comments.

1t Is dimcult these times to build a

plant 1t on the right lot and arrange

a satisfactory cheap house than a good
house twice as large, because we are
hampered every time we undertake
TO make move. We have not room
enough to turn without humping into
some new problem.
You cannot run a hall down through
the middle OF small house without
wasting whole lot Of room. You
must have the house wider II you do,
and this means a great deal more
expense In the roof. When you get
above ?S feet in width. you have quite
a roof problem to deal with. This

which is very good proportion. The
roof Is plain and straight. being Just
