A PUBLIC SERVICE.

In his disinterested and patriotic
! effort to secure repeal or modifica
ton of the infamous back tax and de-
l;nouent tax laws of the state Hon
7. r. Preston, of Chattanooga, is do,
ing the public a distinct service. His
recent report en- the operation OF
these measures made to the Chatta-
uooga Chamber of Commerce is a
most valuable and interesting contri-
button to the political history Of the
State 1t should have the widest pos
siDle publicity. 1t shows that it has
been carefully, cautiously and ably
prepared, by one who entertains no
prejudice whatever against the ma
chine that is the direct beneficiary
If the back tax laws,
Mr.. Preston in this exhaustive dis
cussion of these laws shows the pow
er of the machine, how it operates in
the legislature and how it rewards
tnose who serve it. He gives list
of LEGISLATORS who have been reward
cd by the machine and mentions 9th
eTs who have received similar con-
siderarion and who will be candidates
for tire legislature this year 1t is of
course hardly necessary to argue the
proposition that it is contrary to
sound public policy and against good
public morals for any state official
10 have the power to reward mem
hers Of the legislature. To allow eX-
ecutive officials to control, through
the distribution of patronage, the
members of the legislative depart
rent, is to threaten the independ-
ence of the separate branches of gov
ernmcnt which is absolutely essen
tia, to the maintenance of that nice
system of checks and balances which
constitute the safeguard of our rcliti-
cal system.
TIE constitution very wisely pro-
hloits the Governor from appointing
members of the legislature to office.
Ana II is certainly violation of the
spirit of the organic law when other
executive officials Of the State reward
members of the Legislature with polit-
cal preferment. 1t evolves wheels
within wheels and is conducive to
machine building. Men are selfish
and where tleir own personal inter-
ests come In conflict with the welfare
Of all the people they are all to prone
to forget the latter in a desire to
serve the former

HOUSES TO BE
REMEMBERED
WORK WILL BEGIN RIGHT AWAY
ALLOWING 100 TO THE
BLOCK.

AS a result of the consideration of
the REMEMBERING of the houses in the
city oy the city authorities at a re.
cent meeting of the board, it has been
decided to do the work.
The REMEMBERING will begin at
Cnce and will be under the direction
of Thomas Frlel and Ed Morgan, and
could not have been put in more COM
petcnt hands. 1t is to be done syste-
matically, and will be thorough when
completed. The fact that Mr.. Friel
has been street overseer for some time
and Is to be assisted by ex-Marshal
Morgan, shows special qualification,
each being thoroughly familiar with
the city. In the numbering the sys-

Within short time the telephone
line 70 Parks Station, in the fourth
district will be finished and for the
first time the people of Columbia will
have direct communication with the
people of that section over the tele-
phone. That is about the only sec

out telephone communication direct
with Columbia, Heretofore in order
to get information from Parks Sta

essary to call over the telephone

built from Glendale by the citizens of
the section aided by contributions
from the business men of Columbia.
The pike leading from Columbia
INTO that section is the next under
the law, after the compltion of the
Porters Chapel road, to be built in
the county by the work house hands
And with a good pike, telephone COM

AS 1t is now the people Of that sec

ENCOURAGE THE OFFICERS.

Good citizens of Columbia, those
who believe in the enforcement of
the laws, especially those against the
sale of liquor should lend all pos
sible encouragement and assistance
10 the officers in their laudabie ef-
forts to stop this infamous traffic.
Inc hands OF the officers should be
upheld and they should be made to
feel and know that in their crusade
against bootleggers and blind tigers
they have all of the moral support OF
the good people Of the community.
Let the officers from the Mayor on
dowr, know that their efforts to stop
the liquor traffic in Columbia are ap-
preciated. They have to work under
many difficulties and are beset by
many obstacles and the good folks
should do what they can to make the
rcad easier for them.
1t is seldom even that when boot
leggors are tried the good people of
tue community even manifest sufi-
Gent interest to go to the city hall
and show by their presence that they
are interested in the result of the
trial. On the contrary these trials
are almost always attended by a
large number of the sympathizers
with bootleggers. In fact one would
get tne impression. from a personal
view of these thials, that there was
no sentiment behind the vigilent
officers who are bent upon Going
their official duty. Let us as citi-
zens interested in law enforcement
make demonstration of our
concern for the cause.

DESERVING PRAISE.

AS long as Tennessee has public
men of the courage anu independence
lnanit ested By Congressman William
C. Houston, Of the fifth district, the
schemes concocted by little self-seek-
ing politicians whose only idea Of
public service is personal preferment
are going to be mighty hard to put
over. Judge Houston has emrhati-
cally declined to enter the machine
made primary called in his district
St the dictation of the state liquor
,aachine in order TO further the ends
and ambitions of the members OF the
machine. He spurns the committee
nat forgot its obligations to all the
party and became the tool of de-
signing clique He shows his indie
pendence, his manhood and his real
Democracy.
No one would argue that the com
mittees of the fifth and seventh dis
trict we're acutated by any desire to
promote the harmony and welfare of
the democratic part,. On the con
trary their action was plainly in the
interest of the clique that controlled
the last legislature and sought by
all means, fear or foul, to again re-
store the liquor power in Tennessee.
And Mr. Houston realizes that this
vas the case. He saw plainly that
the committee proposed to sacrifice
him and others who had not bowed
tc the machine in order to serve
special interest and he very properly
baked.
There is no truer democrat in con-
sress. or out of 1t for that matter.
than Mr.. Houston. His record In the
national Legislature cannot be assail-
ed upon any reasonable ground. He
mas been true to the principles and
platforms of the Democratic party.
He has been honest. faithful and true
in his public service. He has won
the esteem Of his democratic col
leagues in congress and enjoys the
respect of his political opponents.
There is no question raised against
his democracy or the quality Of his
public service, but his continuance
in congress will not promote the
ends and purposes of the liquor ma
chine and for that reason he has
been marked for slaughter. But Mr.. |
Houston is q man of courage and
conviction and like Judges Neil ana
Shields and Beard two years ago he
proposes to be at the slaughtering. ]

There is one thing true, and OF
that the Nation may be roud:-Upon
al questions OF personal integrity
aud morals, William Howard Taft
President ard man, always comes
clean. Paymaster Whipple last Sat
urday testified before an inves'igat-
ing committee that President Taft's
letters had suppressed" charges
against certain Major in the army.
Upon hearing this President Taft ask
ed that ali of his letters be given to
the committee Upon reading them
it was found that President Taft had
not suppressed" or asked to have
suppressed anything. That he had

galantry of bis nature suggested a
diplomatic way of protecting a mar
.led wcman's reputation; who, though
her sin be as scarlet, had made reace
with society and was living happily
with her husband What a fine ex-
ample that! Did you ever notice that
great men never gossip, or feed on
scandal? Only little souls, whether
they be meE or women, love gossip
and scandal ana deal in SANDER"
True and mast admirably stated. 1t
is i1leed something for which the
American people should be grateful,
that they have as The chief executive
of the nation, and the occupant If the
most exalted station in all this world,
man of the fine feeling, the nigh
personal integrity and the nice sense
Of rnnor that always characterize
the conduct If William Howard Taft.
The President has been beset by
many difficulties, he has been tried
most severely, but he has always in
his dealings with his fellow man,
shown himself to be a gentleman in
the highest, truest and best accepta-
tion Of that term. Mr. Taft has
emerged FROM this latest effort TO in
volve him in scandal, just as he has
emerged from all other similar eff
forts, with colors flying. The fact is
the better the American people be-
come acquainted with the present
chief executive the more they admire
and appreciate his sterling qualities,
the Herald does not agree with Mr..
Taft upon many political Issues.
Upon the one great national ques-
ton Of tariff revision Mr. Taft is
wrong eternally wrong, but as
man, as a patriotic, though some
times misguided public servant, and
as high type Of the true Ameri-
cen we confess our unstinted admira-
ton for him. He is not going to be

cular. bizarre and utterly unreliable
teddy the Terrible.

ROBBED WINDOW
SATURDAY NIGHT
A PAIR OF BOYS PANTS TAKEN
THROUGH THE BROKEN
GLASS.

A rather novel robbery occurred
at Rosenthars store Saturday night
The window has a broken glass on
one side. The broken glass being
held into position by a metal CLASP
and paper stickers. There was in
the window good display of boys
clothing.
Some time during the night this
strip of broken glass, which was
ABOUT three inches wide and fifteen
inches long, was pushed in and a pair
of pants taken, the value of which
was about $500. There is no clue to
the guilty party.

WiLCOx'S RETIREMENT.

Prison Commissioner Wilcox
statement upon his retirement from
office, in which he gives full credit
TO Gov Hooper and the other com
missioners for their efforts to i'm
prove the penal system Of the state
is in marked contrast to the defama-
tory, false and captious criticism
which so-caled regular" organs feel
called upoE to at all times
level at those officials when
ever the penitentiary is men,
tened. Mr. Wilcox is "regu-
lar" democrat, an appointee of Pat
tefson, but he is also broad guaged,
fair minded, honorable opponent. He
is not one of those little narrow, big
oted souls which sees nothing but
evil and error in the work of his po-
itical opponents. And for these rea-
sons his testimony Is highly valua-
ble It shows that Gov. Hooper and
his officials have been making an ear
aest, determined and most CONNIE nd
able effort to improve conditions at
the prison. And whether the LIQUOR
organs are willing to concede il or
hot the fair minded people know that
gsos results are going to attend the
esorts. This people are becoming
lees and less Interested in the politics
Of their public servants; they are con-
ssfaed absxt the quality of public
serTtee which they obtain.

WHY NOT PUBLISH IT2

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Marshall Gazette, is the latest candi-
date for membership in Frank Dib-
reil's Ananias Club. That paper
makes bold tc indulge in some caus-
tic criticism Of the present Comptrol-
Ter of Tennessee. Like The Herald
and other papers in the state The Ga
zette has a hankering to know why
the comptroller has not complied
with the reasonable and altogether
Lawful request of the Nashville Ban
ner to publish statement of the col
lcctions and expenses of his revenue
agents.
The Herald has no personal quarrel
with the comptroller. It is not inter-
ested in his controversy with
Mayor Crump, of Memphis,
excep, in so far as that
controversy may reflect light
upon the manner in which Mr.. Dib-
rell has performed his official duties.
We can, however, endorse the state
ment made by the Mayor Of Memphis
when he expressed the. opinion that
the public was not interested in what
he personally thought of the comp
troller or of what estimate the comp
troller might have of the Mayor. All
that is eminently true. Mr.. Dibrell,
however, has way of injecting the
personal equation into every contro-
yersy that he may have re-
specting the administration of
his official duties. Now can
1t be that, like most men
who have weak cause and defense
less position, he seeks to obscure the
real issue by much vain protesting
Of innocence and vitrolic denuGcia-
ton OF all who do not agree with mis-
methods? o. is the comptroller so
vaip that he really believes that the
puDilI ~ iuLClsCly iAIclc5lCu III WudI
he may think of individuals and
newspapers which dare to criticise
him?
TFo Banner has invited publica-
ton of the report that was clearly in
tended by law to have been published
year ago. Now would this report
it Published II full reveal the causes
for certain kaleidoscope changes in
the political affiliations of certain
Tennesseans that have startled the
public during the past two years?
We DO not know but 1t does strike
The disinterested observer that if
there were no facts in the reports
made by the revenue agents that
we're not altogether legitimate and
proper and duly authorized by law
10 one, certainly not the comptrol-
Ter, could object to their publication.
Neither the Banner nor the Gazette,
nor the Memphis Mayor nor The Her
aid has charged that there was any
thing wrong with the reports of Mr..
Dibrell's revenue agents, but they all
Go insist and properly so that the
comptroller obey the law by max
ing The requisite publication And it
dc es seem that this altogether reas-
enable and proper request would not
have to be repeated to an official who
boasts of his zeal in the enforcement
Jf the delinquent tax law of 1911.
