The Memphis News Scimitar
published cartoon, The Trans.
formation" Inst Monday, that
every young man who occasionally
takes a drink should see and study.
A young man with all the promise
of a happy and prosperous life be-
fore him is entering a saloon. He
is well clad, intellectual and manly
in his appearance. He can quit
whiskey whenever he wants to. .
It's nobodXss business but his own
If he takes a few in the evening. "
Years later the young man is com
ing out of the saloon. The bright,
manly young fellow has been
transformed into an old man. He
is bent with age, the manly pose
gone, and is clad in rags. He has
quit whiskey," but only because
the bartender sneers at his whin-
ing plea for credit" What a life
his past has been. What picture,
But it tells the tale that has come
in the history of so many.

men who claim to be perfect gen
tlemen, and are cultured and re-
fined, indulge in the habit of ours
ing, using profanity on most any
occasion, and without any refer
ence as to how offensive it may be
to those about them. Some com
munities are more afflicted with
swearers than others. In Hunt
inGdon there are notso many as in
some places the size Of this. But
We have a few old chronic cursers,
who seem to be unable to talk
without using profanity, and there
are a few Of our young boys get
ting the habit. They don't seem
to realize how ugly il is.
We notice from the daily press
that in some places, notably in our
larger cities, and more especially
Chicago, a clean language league
has been organized with the pur-
pose of bringing about reform
along this line. In the cities the
school boys are the most fragrant
offenders. While young, and be-
fore they realize how ugly and Of
fensive it is, they acquire a habit
of cursing which is almost ilnpos-
sibIe to break when they become
Older and realize the meaning of
the words they use.
We want to appeal to the read
ers Of the Democrat who curse,
especially young men and boys to
cut it ont. At least sit down and
10 a manly way think the question
over and then do what you honestly
believe to be most in keeping with
your manhood.

other agency that will stimulate
the industrial activity of pupils at
school or at home"
This, he thinks, is made more
possible with the consolidated
school. The consolidated school,
of course. carries with it the idea
of transportation, a very common
thing in the more progressive
school states. Three counties in
Tennessee have this fall joined
Shelby and Madison in transporta-
ton. These were Weakley, Cheat
ham and Rhea. Consolidated
schools with transportation is pro-
gressive in school work and we
believe it is coming. 1t is a ques-
ton we'll worth considering.

Isador Rayner, of Maryland, one
of the leading damocraticmembers
Of the United States senate, is dead.
This is the man whose name was
offered by William j. Bryan as a
suitable candidate for the presi-
dental nomination. His death
creates a vacancy in the senate that
probably will be filed by a repub-
lican, as the governor Of Mary
land, who has the power to APP
point, is republican. The legis-
lature of that state is democratic,
but will not meet this winter.
This will very much affect the
fight between the democrats and
republicans for control OF the SEN
ate. The democrats were claiming
the senate, but this will reduce the
supposed majority to a point very
near the dividing line of party CON

Judge John E. Mccall, in charg-
ing the federal jury last Monday,
says that most any person can walk
the streets of Memphis and see the
state laws violated in red-handed
ways. He yentured the assersion
that one out of every ten men who
walk tie streets Of that city carry
pistols. If there is any place in
the state where a man would seem
to be justified in carrying a pistol
it would be in Memphis.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1912
SENATORIAL PRIMARY

A special telegram from Nash
vile, printed 10 these columns yes
terday morning, was to the effect
that ''the democratic state primary
board today canyassed the returns
Of the democratic primary held
November 5. Returns were re-
received from sixty-one coun-
ties" Going further into de-
tails, the item gives Mr.. Patter-
sons vote for United States soma
tor as 36, We do not believe
that,any disinterested citizen Of the
state will take this so-called pri-
mary return seriously, certainly
none will be simple enough to as
sert that it has any binding force,
We have had an authoritative ac-
count of how the so-called vote
was taken in many sections, one Of
which illustrates the whole. In
one of the larger towns a friend of
Mr.. Patterson stood on the street
corners with a box under his arm
and solicited votes from passersby.
There was no clerk, no Judges in
fact, the thing was a travesty.
The attempt to set this So called
result up as a primary election is a
reflection upon the intelligence of
the democracy of the state.
There was no quorum OF toe
committee present to canvass the
returns and the action taken by
the majority, which consisted
chiefly Of Chairman Morton, who
represented himself and some four
or five proxies, was without au-
thority.
We wish that it could somehow
be borne to the gentlemen who are
thus operating to continue the di-
vision in the democratic ranks and
who appear to be insensible to the
need for the exercise of common
sense and sound judgment, that
their course is making matters
worse and that as a result they are
likely to create a Schism among
the regulars. We are reliably in
formed that if an attempt shall be
made to enforce the result of the
so-called primary as the vote Of
the democracy, there will not be
even majority of regulars in a
caucus to carry it out.
Would itnot appear to be folly
compounded to further persist in
an enterprise which means further
party demoraliznation9 Chatta-
nooga Times.
The above is not the ranting of
an independent democratic paper,
but the position Of paper ex-
tremely regular. The primary
was q farce and shows the weak
ness Of the regular faction, espec-
tally of Patterson's strength in the
democratic party.

MADISON COUNTY RETURNS

The most sensational incident
connected with the recent election
in Tennessee was the stealing Of
the returns of the Madison county
election.
After the election commissioners
had received the returns and placed
them in a lock box in the vault of
the county court clerk, they were
stolen. and when the commission
ers met to canvass the returns and
announce the results, they found
the box had been broken open and
Is precincts out of the 80 were
missing, and the seal on the others
had been broken.
The commissioners refused to
make a canvass of the remaining
returns, and asked Attorney gen
eral Charles I. Gates for an opinion
as to what course they should pur-
sue. Mr.. Gates, last Monday,
gave out a lengthy opinion on the
subject. Mr.. Gates insists that
the commissioners should secure
the best evidence to be obtained
as to how the election went and
make their report accordingly. He
insists that the voice of the people
should not be stihed by fraud and
corruption. In the opinion Of
Mr.. Gates it is the duty of the
commissioners to ascertain the re-
suits, and if the primary evidence.
that is, the sworn returns of the
officers holding the election, filed
with and delivered to them, have
been destroyed by the felonious
acts of third persons, they may re-
sort to the best secondary evidence
and declare the result of the cleo
ton. These returns may be sup

piled by the sworn statement Of
officers holding the election or BY
parties present when the vote,was
counted. The Madison county
commissioners win likely act in
keeping with this opinion.
