ton and conditions of the work, and
begs leave to submit to the Board and
through the Board to the public, the
following partial report OF theiI
work:
July 1, 1912, there were All mem
bers: 230 seniors, "a juniors, and 15s

amount 1878 had already been pleds

is reasonable TO suppose that a re

expired memberships could have
been secured, had any effort worthy
the importance of this work been
made to secure same.
Some of these expired memberships

757; less the balance on had of $685.
81, leaving a net current Indebtedness
of $1,64S.69. This would seem a large
deficiency, at least, on the face of it,
But when you remember that the loss
on the unrenewed memberships alone
was $1,40950, that the income from
the use of privileges had fallen off
about 5000 during the last three
months, and that there is a portion
of the maintenance fund now due, but
still uncollected, you can see at once
that we have come to the place
where we are. because of the failure
of somebody to do their duty. Had
We have had strong general secre-
tary in charge of the work since II.
C.. Wright left, in order to maintain
the work at reasonable degree of
efficiency, and had the finance com
mittee and the membership commit
tee made any concerted effort to Sc
cure the renewals of memberships and
collected the money already pledged
and now due. We confidently believe
that the current expense deficiency
two hun lred dollars
could have been raised from these
regular sources of income. The facts
here stated furnish no grounds what
ever upon which to justify a move
ment to close the building indefinite,

Sources Of Income.
The sources of income we find are
from the sustaining memberships
(the maintenance fund as it is called)
regular memberships, Association
privileges. gymnasium rentals, the
dormitories, social work. the basket
| ball games, and other miscellaneous
items You have now eighty sustain
ing memberships, who pay $40 and
over per year; If that number could
be increased to one hundred, and
there be secured an additional two
hundred senior members, seventy-fve
intermediates, and fifty juniors, the
income from this source alone would
be over three thousand dollars. That
would also mean greatly increased
reyerbe from the Association privll-
eges. The dormitories are paying far
below what they ought to pay. Dur

Suffers Downfall.

4
Despite differences OF opinion be-
tween his judges as to whether be
should have been put out OF Office for
acts done before entering upon the du-
ties of Office, William SIIzer, of New
York, stands convicted by the Court OF
Impeachment Of the conduct Of a mere
panhandler" and a periurer. Even
upon the muddy currents OF New York
politics the former champion Of the
people" can hardly hope to continue to
keep afoat. He is not disqualified from
holding office, hut his reelection to
office is unthinkable That he did d.
vert to personal uses money given him
for campaign purposes and swear falsely
as to his receipts and disbursements is
matter upon which the opinion Of the
Court OF Impeachment is settled. No
self-respecting people could again give a
man with his record any elective Office.
Mr.. SuIzer's downfall does not now
come as a surprise, but when the fight
that was inaugurated against him, for
no other purpose, perhaps, than the re-
yenge OF disgruntled politicians, there
were many observers Of political con-
ditions in New York who believed him
a better man than he has been proven
to be. The evidence submitted has
doubtless convinced the last Of these
that, no matter whether he should have
been impeached for acts done prior to
taking office, he is man unfit to hold
the office to which he was elected. That
men equal to Sulzer in moral obliquity
and in discreditable methods have held
high office is no argument in his behalf.
The acts complained of were done when
awakened public opinion had already
capitalized in the form Of laws against
concealing contributions to campaign
funds, and there was nevera time when
any respectable person considered it re-
spectacle for candidate to go to and
fro begging, or accepting, contributions
which he intended to use purely for pur-
poses Of personal gain.
Fair progress is being made in the
matter OF wedding out the blatherskites
of politics. The fact that the motives
OF the inaugurators of the investigation
Of Sulzer will hardly stand the acid test
does not lessen the dimensions and i'm
portance Of the moral victory scored by
the State of New York in laying bare
bis. discrepancy between his pretensions
Of honesty and his unclean practices.
Those who formerly believed that the
man was personally honest, although a
rather sky-rockety demagogue in his
manner of appealing to the voters, have
been disiIlusioned, but nobody who has
a reasonable preference for cleanliness
in politics can regret the denoument
since the proof is plain. -CoUrier-Jour-

Going Dry.

The Legislature succeeded last week
in the passage Of the nuisance and jug
bills. The removal bill was defeated.
But the movement for the enforcement
Of Prohibition laws is crystallizing all
over the State, and perhaps it will not
be necessary to have the Governor vest
ed with the power Of removing county
and municipal officers. The jug bills
include shipment Of liquor into the
State and intra-state shipment into the
counties. Penalties are provided for
these things OF such character that
in the hands of the proper judicial
authority they will effectually enforce
the law. The nuisance bill has already
appeared in this paper. The cities, es-
pecially Memphis and Nashville, have
been governed by men whose politics
have made them outlaws. They have
disregarded and detied the laws OF the
State-these men who we're elected and
took the oath Of office to enforce the
statutes. Judges, mayors and the en-
tire official department down to con-
stable have openly nullified the Prohi-
bition statutes. But there has been a
change The people OF the State are
demanding the enforcement Of law and
the bench is recognizing this demand.
The prospects, therefore, for the Pro-
hibition State Of Tennessee going dry
are very good indeed. The only real
effort ever made in this direction is
now cementing, and before many more
moons it is more than probable that
there will be no saloons in the State
from one end to the other.

The Booze Rebellion.

It begins now to look as il there will
eventually be a triumph Of the law in
Tennessee, and that the end of the
rebellion is in sight.
The first civil strife that ever occurred
under the Government OF the United
States was the whiskey rebellion in
Western Pennsylvania during the adj
ministration 81 Washington. The dis
tillers in that region objected to paying
the excise or internal revenue tax levied
on their product, and induced the farm
ers who furnished the grain for distill-
ing purposes to join them in an attempt
to nullify the law. They were very
persistent in refusing to pay taxes, and
both defiant and scornful in their atti-
tude toward government authority.
They never yielded until an armed
force was sent to compel their submits
sion.
The liquor trade has never ceased to
be lawless. There was whisky ring
during the Grant administration in the
early seventies that defrauded the Gov
eminent out OF many millions of money
and by its corrupt methods involved
men in high places and very close to
the President.
In Tennessee, since the passage Of
the prohibition statute in 1909, there
has been booze rebellion that has null
lifted laws and set the authority Of the
State at defiance This rebellion has
been, in some degree, national in its
scope, and it has been backed by the
powerful distilling and brewing inter-
ests of the country and aimed at all
legislation OF whatevel character in
tended to restrict the liquor trade. 1t
has sought not only to prevent the en-
actment of laws but to overthrow and
trample under foot those in existence.
The booze rebellion in Tennessee has
been very pronounced and defiant. The
larger cities Of the State have been, and
some Of them still are, at the mercy Of
the lawless saloon. Law has been
laughed at and openly set at naught |
The cities in this respect have assumed
the same rebellious attitude toward the
State Government that the Pennsyl-
vania distilers did toward the National
Government in the early days. II the
Federal Government had yielded to the
lawless liquor interests then, the seed
would have been sown and precedent
established that would have worked its
destruction. If Tennessee should tamely
submit TO the present conditions OF law
notification there wouldn't long be left
anything Of State authority or State
government worth mentioning.
1t is gratifying, therefore, that the
means for crushing the booze rebellion
seems to be in sight. The bills that
have been passed by the Legislature are
not all that is desired. With the re-
moyal bill defeated, the nuisance bill
alone can't be depended upon to do all
the work; but it is start in the right
direction.
Better than what this bill may ac-
complish enacted into law is the fact
that the people are determined on law
enforcement. Recent expressions in
county mass meetings throughout the
State leave no doubt Of that fact, and,
with the people in that mood, the booze
rebellion must come to an end. NASH
