FACTS ABOUT lihf
BECKER AFFAIR

New York, Aug. .e27.-Bro~sing in
the corridors of the criminal courts
building one is likely to run across
certain bits of interesting informa
ton that never gets into the papers.
A current rumor circulating among
the newspaper reporters concerns the
real inside facts of the Becker affair."
as far as the murder of the gambler,
Rosenthal, is concerned.
While this may or may not be true,
it is interesting, as it shows how the
underworld and the police, as a rule,
work together, but sometimes have
a falling out to disprove there is al
ways honor among thieves.
In connection with the Becker SEN
tence, report gives it now. that the
gambler was to be handed $4,000
by Vallon, to quit the country, as he
had been talking loudly and detri-
mentally to the police force.
The meeting between the two was
protected by group Of gunner, who
were perhaps the most amazed Of
anyone when the shooting occurred.
The tragedy was due, so they say,
! to the fact that the go-between at
tempted to hold out $4,000 and Ros-
enthal wouldn't stand for it.
After the shooting the gunmen
scattered like scared chickens and
Becker, feeling omnipotent, rushed to
the scene, promising protection.
Here was where he made his fatal
error, and his electrocution may read
a lesson to the set Of lawless men in
New York, who felt that money would
purchase immunity from any crime,
but who did not reckon with a mis-
| take caused by cupidity In carrying
| out set scheme with no plan of mur;

occurrence. However, land is
high and SO scarce in the old country
that there must be intensive culsiya-
ton in order to obtain return on
the investment. Big yields in Eng
land are largely due to intensive Gu
tivation and deep tillage. Land there
are cultivated twenty to twenty four
inches below the surface. If we h
deeper blowing in this country, and
especially III this county, our soils
would not wash and erode and we
would make larger yields.
AS it is, however, Maury county
has made a record for wheat yield
this year hat compares moot favcra-
bly, with Illinois. On twelve acre
field C. r. Denton produced GA bush
els which is an average yield of more
than fifty-ore bushels to the acre.
This goes the Illionis record one bet
ter for average yield although OF
course the larger acreage in the ILL
nois plat mus be taken into consid-
Grafton. However, Mr.. Denton on
twenty acres made S14 bushels or
about forty-one bushels to the acre.
1t is plain that just as much wheat
can be made per acre in Maury coun-
| ty as can be produced anywhere in
the United States if right methods
of soil preparation and proper seed
are used. The farmers of this coun-
ty, unfortunately, do not wholly ap
preciate the magnificent possibilities
of our soil aud climate. If they did
it would not be long until Maury
county lands would be worth 5000 an
acre, the price at which Illinois and
Iowa lands often sell.

MINORITY CONTROL.

The sinister purpose behind the
new election law is revealed in the
appointments in Maury county
Three commissioners were named
every one Of whom is a member OF
the minority party in this county.
Every one of the three commission.
ers supported the Patterson leglsla
tive ticket last fall, ticket that was
repudiated by majority of more
than six hundred. Not one of then
supported Gov. Hooper, who carried
the county by majority of 200.
Under the new arrangement, If 1t
should be sustained by the supreme
court, we would witness the spectacle
of a majority Of the people Of Maury
county being denied any representa-
ton whatever in the election machin-
cry. There are over 600 republicans
in the county as shown by the Taft
vote, but they will have no represen-
tation on tho election board, which
is made up of two Patterson regulars
and one bull. moose who affiliates in
local and state politics with the liq-
uor democracy.
Any fair man can see the difference
between board of this character
and the board as composed under
the old law. Under the act of 1911
the three commissioners in this coun-
ty were divided among the independ-
ent democrats, who outnumber the
regulars" the republicans and the
regulars" That was as fair as
possible. Coupled with the fact that
ocrat, independent and republican,
were men of the very highest integri-
1t made the system all but an. ideal
one. Under the new plan majority
of the white people of this county
are to be denied any control whatev-
er of their election machinery. 1t
is as outrageous as the Patterson
primary plan of 1910 which was so
empahticaly repudiated by the peo
pc of Tennessee. 1t will doubtless
meet similar fate in spite of the
boast Of regulars that control of the
election machinery means victory fol-
them.

THE WORTHLESS DOG.

That Marly county is admirably
adapted to the growing of sheep is
admitted by all. Sheep can be rails
ed here not only at profit to the
farmers, bW their soils will be vast
ly improved by having more pasture
and better and larger flocks and do
ing less cultivating. There is one
menace, however, that deters many
farmers, who otherwise believe in
sheep, from keeping flock. That
is the worthless cur dogs of which
this country has largely more than
its share.
There are thousands of dogs of all
kinds and character in Maury coun
ty. There are probably less than a
hundred that are worth their keep.
The vast majority are not only worth
less but they are positive detri-
ment. Dogs destroy sheep, chickens
and other valuable animals and fowls
about the farm. They carry disease.
They are filthy animals and many
are the hogs that have persisted from
cholera as the result Of disease
germs that have been carried by the
prowling dogs. The fact is that there
would be no great loss sustained II
all the dogs in the country should
suddenly disappear.
1t would be vastly to the profit Of
Naury county II all the farmers keep
sheep and none of them keep dogs.
The sheep provides both raiment and
food for mau; the dog does neither,
except in exceptional cases where in
. new country man subsists largely
by hunting game. But no one lives
in this country by the game that he
kills, hence there is no really useful
purpose served by the measley curs
that abound in all parts Of the coun-
ty. But there will never be any con.
siderable sentiment against the dog
until larger proportion Of the peo.
pie take lip the growing of sheep
The sheep owner has little use for
the dog anu the more sheep owners
we have in the county the fewer
dogs there will be and the greater
the prosperity of the people.

the facts. This is political clap trap
that will fool no one. The fusiorists
are in no way responsible for the
failure of an appropriation bill They
volunteered upon two or three differ
ent occasions to restore quorum in
order that valid and constitutional
appropriation bill could be passed.
And when the appropriation bill was
passed in the house the regulars I'M
der the leadership of John l. Cox de-
liberately absented themselves and
broke a quorum. But the bill was
declared passed and went to the SEN
ate.
When the bill arrived in the SEN
ate on its final stage the legislative
session expired. The fusion mem
bers of the senate went to their
homes. They conducted no filliDus-
ter but remained at their posts of
duty during the entire constitutional
period. Without a cent of pay but
wholly at their own expense and at
a considerable sacrifice, they return
ed to Nashville and again made
quorum. They insisted upon the
passage of an honest, graft-free, and
reasonable appropriation bill, but the
regulars nS'soed upon the bill passed
by the house or none at ALL With
all the members of the senate with
two or three exceptions present, this
bill came to a vote and failed. 1t
failed because all of the regulars"
did not vote for it. With the Shelby
delegation the regulars" have eigh-
teen votes in the senate. 1t requires
seventeen to PASS bill. They had it
within their power to enact the
house bill, but failed to do so.
Under she circumstances all re-
sponsibility for the failure of the ap-
preparation bill falls upon the reg
ulars." A legislative majority" can
not escape responsibility for legisla-
ton or the failure to enact it. The
fusionists are powerless to enact any
legislation and have been since
Crump's change of heart Hence it
is idle rot, no: even decent nonsense
to charge them with the failure of the
appropriation bill. The regulars"
had the opportunity, they had the
majority, to enact an appropriation

state they have successfully dictated
the county boards.
Democrats who really believe in a
fair election can have no objection
to the old board. Elections have
been fairer in Tennessee during the
past four years than they have ever
been in the history Of the state.
There has been less complaint OF
fraud. All factions and all parties
have had representation upon the
state and county boards. Men Of
the highest integrity have been NAM
ed to hold tie elections.
The Herald cares nothing about
who controls the election machinery,
SO long as the machinery is honestly
controlled aad the power lodged in
the county and state boards is fairly
and equitably fused. This paper
stated that if men like Milt Allen
were appointed to hold elections it
was wholly immaterial what their po-
litical affiliations might be. Too
much stress is placed upon the con-
troll of election machinery in this
state. 1t has been the bane of our
politics and one of the causes of dis
ruption of the democratic party. AS
we have heretofore stated, this jour-
nal is not and has never been enam-
ored of the state board" idea. 1t
would rather prefer an election sys.
tenn that would bring the machinery
closer to the people. Unless men of
the highest character and undoubted
patriotism ere selected as commits
sioners the state board yields a pow
er that may and often will prove in
imicable to popular rights Politics
were better and there was less strife
and factionalism in Tennessee when
the local authorities controlled the
elections.
The state board idea was born Of
a desire to achieve an unfair advan-
tage. And that was the result in
many counties. Revelations of cleo
ton frauds in Knox, Greene and 9TH
er counties proved that under the
county boards appointed by the gov
ernor the people did not have a fair
and honest record of their express
sions at the ballot box It was in
opposition to this system that Gov.
