Thoughts on Childhood.

The less cake and such things, the
less ache and such things,
They used TO bring up children;
now we merely educate them,
If only a boys father were always
the mighty man the boy thinks he is!
One of the most pathetic things in
the world is a ragged child; the most
pathetic is an overdressed one.
Treat your children with respect and
they will be more apt to do the same
by you.
A girl isn't really a girl unless she
likes to put on long skirts and play
lady, and boy isn't really a boy un.
less he owns-a dog.
Better two black eyes that his moth.
er'will surely see, than one backdowr
that his father may hear about.
The fool may teach his children some
things, but the wise man will learn
many things from his children. Sep

DR.. {. P, HICKMAN.

In this issue we make formal
announcement of the candidacy
of DR.. E p Hickman, for re.elec-
ton as hoterial representative in
the next General Assem- bly, from
the counties of Giles, Lawrence,
Wayne and Lewis. DR.. Hickman
has lived in Lawrence county for
a number of years, and is per-
haps as we'll known as any man
in the county. His life in all its
aspects-its good and it's bad, it's
lights and its shadows-is an
open book, quite familiar TO our
people. And those who know
him we'll can bear truthful trib-
ute to his first class mental
equipment, unfaltering courage
and generous and loyal friend,
ship. AS a member of the last
legislature DR. Hickman fulfilled
the hopes of his supporters by a
strict adherence to his pre.elec
tion pledges. While there are
some of his policies we do not
endorse, his firm stand for law
enforcement is deserving of the
highest commentator, He will
urge his claims for an endorse
ment of his record, upon the vo-
ters of the district. We bespealS
for him the intelligent considera-
ton of our readers.

Democrats in the great conyen-
ton of last week were harmonious
on matters considered except the
liquor question. Some considered
1t Il moral and socia! question and
favored leaving it to the next leg
isIature. Others thought that the
wrangIcs over the question In the
election of members would keep
the question in politics and dis
turb and divide the people rs here
tofore. These thought that the
party should make n bold decIara-
tion of ITS principles and appeal
to thepeople of the state to sustain
them. This latter idea prevailed.
The convention declared for the
repeal of what is known as the
Manufacturers bill and the state
wide statute and for strict regula-
ton of the traffic in the three large
cities of Nashville, Memphis and
Chattanooga. This puts it direct
ly up to the people and it is hoped
IN this way to eliminate the vexed
question out of politics. Demo
Gratis did not put the liquor ques-
ton in politics and have always
dcplored that it has been made d
political question by the repubh-
cans The fall elections will show
what the people of Tennessee
think of the matter and it is to be
hoped that the majority will be
sufficiently pronounced to stop fu
lure agitation of these veXed ques.
tions. The Issues are clearly SCI
forth on both sides and the line,
sharply drawn. The election
ought to determine whether Tenn,
essee is a prohibition state ol
whether 1t is a local option com

town Press,
The essence of the above is
that Democracy made a bold
declaration Of its principles" on
the liquor question, taking its
position in a sharply defined at.
titude of opposition to prohibi.
ton and advocacy of local option
A reading of the platform does
not bear out this idea. The plat
form does not favor local option
anywhere. Local option gives
the people the right to say
whether or not they will have
the licensed saloon in any com
munity The platform says that
the people Of Nashville, Mem.
phis and Chattanooga should
have legalized saloons simply by
arbitrary act of the legislature,
without asking the consent of
the people; and that the other 93
{ counties shal have prohibition
whether they want it or not.
; Both propositions are directly
, opposed to the very basic idea
of the much Wanted principle of
+ local self-gOvernment. The Press
