A HEALTHY EXAMPLE.

Two senators of the State of Ohio,
one of them democrat and the other
. republican have donned the stripes
and entered the penitentiary as COM
mon felons They were convicted by
o Jury of receiving brides while serv-
ing in the legislature. The court of
final resort refused to interfere with
the sentence and having a governor
who had some proper conception of
his obligation to society, they nave
gone to prison to associate with 9TH
or criminals who betrayed individuals
and not the entire community.
This is a splendid example, one that
other states beside Ohio should set
For that is not the only state in the
Union where legislators are recrcant
TO their trust We have had some of
the same sort in Tennessee and eff
forts are now being made to bribe
members of the coming general as
sembly to repudiate their prediction
pledges and serve the liquor interest
and the back tax plunderbund. Some
men go to the legislature for what
they can get out of it," If few of
this character were sent to the peni-
Tertiary we would have cleaner poll
tics in Tennessee and platform pledg-
es and personal promises would be
taken at their par value.
Evidently the courts of Ohio be-
heve in the enforcement of the law
fairly and impartially. They sea no
difference between the solon who &C
cepts bride and betrays his constitu-
ents and the thief who appropriates
the goods of others to his own use.
They believe that the rich and the
powerful and the influential should
be punished along with those who
are from the lower walks of life In
Tennessee legislators who forget
their sacred obligations to the reo-
pie and become the servile tools of
the interests" either pose as lead
ers or become candidates candidates
for higher offices. We have become
90 accustomed to this sort Of thing
that the public conscience has be-
come dulled. And there are news
papers in the state which actually
encourage methods that smell to
heaven II the faction which hey
serve in politics can be the benefi-
ciary. We must have an awakened
conscience. Ohic's example is one
that this state can afford to emulate.

ATTACKING HOOPER.

The favorite weapon of the liquor
organs of the state and the liquor
leaders, the Littletons, the Houks,
the Howses and company, is attack
ing Hooper. No man in all the histo-
ry of the state has been so maligned
and abused by the organs and repre-
sentatives of the liquor interests as
the governor. For two and a half
years these papers and men have Kept
up constant fire upon him. But he
is today stronger with the good peo-
pie of Tennessee than he has ever
been Attacks from such sources
show the real estimate of the man.
IL he were not the foe of the forces of
evil in Tennessee he would not have
incurred the enmity of these people.
Let these attacks continue for anoth-
err two years and his election 70 a
third term will not be at all surpris-
ing.
We ought to have peace in Ten
nessee There should be reorgani-
cation of the democratic party upon
proper lines The state is suffering
from constant factionalism. But SO
long as those who stand for the right,
for the enforcement of the laws and
the supremacy of the law are malign-
cd and abused and misrepresented by
the representatives of evil we can ex-
pect the present deplorable state Of
affairs to continue. 1t is sad COM
mentary upon affairs that alleged rep
stable newspapers can be found who
will give publicity to the slime that
eminates from the representatives of
the special interests. However,
Hooper like all others who stand for
clean politics and civic righteousness
must pay the inevitable penalty for
fidelity to the cause All who have
been identified with reform move
nents since the time began have had
. similar experience.

lMporENr RAGE.

The rage Of the liquor organs can
only be accounted for upon the as
sumption that they realize that they
have been beaten in the fight for the
organization of the legislature. They
are mad. good and mad and in their
anger they are striking blindly at ev.
erything and every body standing in
their way. They have sought to make
every deal, every combination and ev-
cry possible dicker In order to obtain
the upper hand in the Legislature.

MAIL OF COLUMBIA
BUSINESS MEN
HELD UP AT DEPOT AND THERE
BY DELAYED TWENTY-FOUR~
HOURS IN TRANSIT.

Postmaster Jackson is very anxious
that the business men Of the city, for
they are the only guilty ones, be more
particular in the mailing of their aft
ernoon letters. Notwithstanding the
fact that there have been two of three
articles published recently regarding
this matter there were about $50 let
tiers sent from the baggage room at
the depot this morning that were sent
there Wednesday afternoon to be
mailed on the train. The baggage
master is expected to mail these let
ters, but at the time of the arrival Of
the trains he is entirely too busy look
ing after the business of the railroad
to have any time to look after the
mailing of these letters and they are
left in the baggage room, and are thus
delayed twenty-four hours.
Postmaster Jackson says the
strange feature of this affair Is that
the letters are sent to the depot and
dumped into the baggage room in an
Indifferent way by the best business
men of the city notwithstanding the
fact that their attention has been call
ed to it more than once. He is anx-
ious to give the best service possible,
and such loose system by the bust
ness men cannot but put the postal
authorities in line for unjust criti-
cism as well as resulting in disap-
pointment to them.

SOME REQUIREMENTS
OF PARCELS POST
ARE IMPORTANT
ORDINARY STAMPS WILL NOT
SUFFICE AND RETURN AD-
DRESS NECESSARY.
MERCHANDISE RATES NO MORE
Stamps Are Issued in Various Demon
nations, and the Due Stamps Very
Much Resemble the Old Time Shin
Plaster.

The parcels post system in Column
bia is proving of special interest, and
at the same time somewhat mystify
ing to number who would take ad
vantage of It's benefits.
There were number of packages
mailed here Wednesday and Thurs
day morning, the first to present a
package being e. l.. Peacock, negro
insurance agent. Of the number that
were mailed there were ten or twelve
on which there was no return address
and in accordance with the instruc-
tions these packages will be held up.
1t is absolutely necessary to have a
return address in order to know to
whom to report the matter if there
should be anything wrong.
Ordinary stamps will not suffice,
but regular parcels post stamps must
be used on all parcels post packages,
and where others are affixed they will
be cancelled and the packages held
and the proper parties notified.
All packages that have heretofore
gone as merchandise at the one cent
an ounce rate, will now go at parcels
post rates, with the exception that
anything up to four ounces goes at
the old rate and may have the regu-
lar stamps affixed. BY the applica-
ton of this rate anything above four
ounces is rated as one pound, and
thus package weighing five ounces
at the zone rates to send to Califor-
MIA would cost IL cents, when the old
merchandise rates would only be
cents.
The stamps are issued In various
denominations and are bright red,
the designs being after that of the
exposition stamps of a few years ago.
The smallest is for one cent and the
largest is for seventy-five cents, be-
ing about twice the size Of the ordina-
ry stamps. The due stamps are the
same size but the color Is green, and
the design is after that of the old shin
plaster, and looks it in miniature.
If you have package for the par
GELS post the best thing to do is to
see postal official who will take
pleasure in giving you all the informa-
ton desired If this Ia not conven-
lent it would be well to remember
that:
A return address is absolutely nee
essary to be placed on the package,
in order that the proper party may be
notified If anything should go wrong.
Parcels post stamps are necessa-
ry, If the ordinary stamps are plac-
ed on the package, they will be can
celed and others will be required be-
fore the package is forwarded.

paign than later, for the men grow

loss grows less. But allowing for the
minimum of so per cent decrease due
to deterioration" we will have left
at the end of the first period" of the
campaign about 100000 men out of
our original army of 100000.
Volunteers Must Be Used.
And where is this army of 100000
men to come from? They must be
volunteers. The war department has
only about $4,000 men available for
active service. A few thousand more
could be brought in from scattered
points, but the bulk would have to
come from the volunteers. It is i'm
possible to estimate the cost on the
great body of people that this would
entail, through absence of wage
earners, return of those who will be-
come invalids and thereby lose their
earning power, deaths, disappear
ances and partial disability. Part of
the cost can be estimated in dollars.
The greater part-that part which re-
suits in after years-cannot even be
estimated. It would far exceed the
millions the expenditure of which can
be seen as necessary at the begin
ming.
The strength of the militia is
about 100000. Even allowing for re-
cruiting the full strength of the
militia there would be an immense
gap to fill with volunteers who are
not even partially trained soldiers.
Twenty per cent Of the volunteers will
be stricken from the rolls after the
first monthly one cause or another.
The downfall of Huerta will not
settle the problem of ito intervene or
not to intervene. Many advocates
OF non4intervention go on the theory
that the end of the Huerta dictator

This is not the case.

leo and begins new regime. This
man is not yet in sight. He may be
one of the rebel leaders now in the
field, but this cannot be determined
until he has been tried out in a wider
field. Indications are that, with the
fall of Huerta, Mexico will continue to
be the prey Of adventurous generals
and INSCRIPTIONS politicians.
Therefore, the problem of inter-
Vention is not one of the moment,
Ringing upon the acts of Huerta, but
one that will have to be settled, one
way or the other, for a long time to
come.
1t remains to be seen whether, I'M

as these, Intervention would be justi-
