commendable features. 1t will bring
some terrors to the hearts of the law
less liquor joint keepers. But its eff
ficacy depends altogether upon the
alertness, the self-sacrifice and the
willingness of citizens to act. 1t
places too great burden upon the
citizens. It is the duty of the officials
TO enforce the laws. They are eelct-
ed and paid for that purpose and
when they will not perform their sol
emn duty they should be kicked out.
AS it is the nuisance bill, the only
law enforcement measure passed,
must depend altogether upon the
activity and the zeal of the public,
il it is to be effective.

ing all things into consideration, in
the Union. And Maury county, the
blue grass Middle basin, is the gar
den spot of the state. The people
here have made success of farm
ing, but with intensive cultivation,
with greater diversity of products
grown and with the increasing i'm
potrance of the dairy and cattle in
dustry, they are entering upon an
era of prosperity the like of which
has never been known.
The fact is that at a time fol-
lowing the most disastrous drouth
the county has known in thirty
years, money can be found in large
quantities to buy farms at higher
prices than have ever obtained. 1t
shows the resources of the county
and it proves that the farmers of
this section are so prosperous that
they are not discouraged by reason
of temporary reverses.
There has never been a better out
look for business in this section than
there is today. A spirit of optimism
pervades the very atmosphere. Con-
ditions combine to make the pros
pect a most pleasing one. The coun-
try is in splendid shape. Every
hing that our producers have to sell
Is commanding prices that will yield
4 profit. There are farmers in this
who did not until adverse con-
iitions overlook them, realize the
what splendid country this was.
And that is one of the factors that
makes for the ever increasing DEM
md for Maury county real estate.

BANK SUPERINTENDENT.

Gov, Hooper, the people of the
graduated upon the appointment Of
Jos l.. Hutton, of Columbia, as state
superintendent of banks. We do not
believe that better appointment
could have been made. Mr. Hutton
is, peculiarly well qualified from ex-
perience, from study and from tenn
permanent for the position. He has
been a student of banking. He knows
the business from beginning to end.
He has impressed his associate bank
ers in the state with the soundness
of his judgment and the care and re-
search with which he has acquired
his information. They know and ap-
preciate his value.
Mr.. Hutton has been a remarkably
successful business man. He has not
confined his business activities alto
gether to banking, although that has
been his chief occupation. But he is
one of those broad minded men who
take an interest in practically all the
affairs of life. There is no more en-
thusiastic farmer in the county: he
has also been a builder in Columbia
Mr. Huttons qualifications as
banker have been recognized and ap-
preciated by the bankers of the state
for many years. Many years ago he
was elected president of the state as
ISOLATION. He was one of the first
bankers in the state to plead for
law to guarantee bank deposits. That
was way back yonder long before OK.
lahoma was even state or the exper-
iment had been tried. Afterward
Mr.. Hutton became factor in the af
fairs Of the national association and
served as vice-president. He is now
a member of the executive council.
Mr.. Hutton has always taken an
active interest in public affairs and
has been a consistent independent
democrat, supporting Gov. Hooper
in both of his races. He has not
been a candidate for Office, but for
the past three years has been a
of the county high school
board.
Mr.. Hutton's private walk in life
is clean and conventional. His ap-
pcintment, in all the circumstances,
is highly cerditable to the governor
and The Herald can unreservedly
him for his good judg-
We are absolutely confident /!
hat Mr.. Hutton will by his splendid |
of the affairs of his
,ffice, demonstrate the wisdom of the |
lew banking act, one of the distinct |
achievements of Gov. Hooper's ad-

FIRE DESTROYS
SHEDS AND Dryer
NEW BLUE GRASS PHOSPHATE
CO. SUSTAiNS HEAVY LOSS
AT MT. PLEASANT.

The New Blue Grass Phosphate
Co., of near Mt. Pleasant, suffered
loss of several thousand dollars on
Tuesday night as result of fire.
The fire originated in a car where the
hot phosphate rock had been placed
for shipment, the cars standing on the
siding under the sheds and contiguous
to the dryer.
There were two cars destroyed, the
sheds and the dryer burned and other
damages sustained. The losses were
entirely covered by insurance. This
plant is one of the most up-to-date in
the Southern phosphate field, being
operated entirely by electric power
It will be necessary for the closing
down Of the works until the sheds and
dryer can be replaced.

THE LEGISLATURE.

While substantial progress was
made for the temperance cause and
good government during the recent
session of the legislature, The Her
aid cannot conceal its disappointment
at the failure of the one really effec-
tive Statutory measure that was re-
commended by Gov Hooper. This
paper has all along held that there
were sufficient laws upon the statute
books to prevent the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors in Tennessee. If may
ors and sheriffs and judges and pros
ecuting attorneys would only do their
whole duty and do 1t all the time.
This being the case an act to force
officials who would observe their sa-
cred oaths and perform their solemn
duty out of Office was most necessa'
nv and commendable one. The re-
moval bill was one against which nc
faithful official could lodge the slight
est objection. It's defeat by the votes
of regulars in the senate is conclu
siye evidence that the so-called reg
Mar democracy has not yet been full
" divorced from the lawless liquor
traffic. 1t was the liquor influence
that defeated this measure. But th'
fight will continue in Tennessee unit
the anal great victory is won. Their
will be no hating and no compro
mise.
The nuisance bill has some yer.

BANKER HUTTON.

That the bankers of the country ap-
preciate the great ability OF Presi-
dent Jos. l.. Hutton of the Phoenix
National Bank, of this city, was at
tested by the high honor conferred
upon him when he was selected to
represent a very large and important
section of the banking interests be-
fore the committee on currency OF
the national congress. Mr.. Huttons
ability and Judgment as a banker
have been known and appreciated in
Tennessee for many years but this
compliment is signal proof that these
high qualities are appreciated by the
leading bankers of the entire coun.
try.
This incident reminds us Of lot
of silly rot tht we have heard re.
Gently about the "lobby." No doubt
some demgogic writer will tell the
public in lurid terms of the bankers
if the great bnking interests of Am
erica had no right to be heard when
questions affecting the banks and
currency are under consideration by
the law makers. Banking is great,
a legitimate and a necessary bust
ness Without the banks the trade
and commerce of the world would
stop. OF course the banks should
not be allowed to dictate currency
legislation but they unquestionably
have the right to be heard where
their interests are at stake. But for
the persistent, determined nd patrio-
tic action of the bankers of Tennes-
see we would not now have a bank
examination law upon our statute
books.

ATTORNEY SMIsER.

We do not suppose that there is q
man in the county who knows James
A. Smiser and who has thimbleful
of brains, who would for one moment
believe that Smiser had any connec.
ton whatever with the sale of liquor
legal or illicit. The effort to detract
from the real issue of this campaign
by insinuations that cannot be sub.
stantiated is nothing but a clever
dodge upon the part of an official who
finds 1t hard to defend his record.
The patent object was to get the pub
lie to talking about Smiser instead of
discussing the mayors record. Mr..
Smiser is well known to the people
of this community, In season and out
he has been the bitter foe Of the lio-
uor traffic and that at a time when
the sale of liquor was legalized in the
county His friends are very much
sgratified at the complete answer
which he has made to unwarranted
=aspersions upon him.
1t would not, however. affect the
issue of this campaign if Smiser had
sstolen horse every day that Ded.
man has been in Office. That would
mot prove that Dedman had enforced
the liquor laws Or that he was in
sympathy with the movement to
make this city cleaner and better
place in which to rear our children.
1t would not prove that the mayor
had contributed anything in effort or
time or money to the enactment or
the enforcement of laws for the moral
we'll being Of the city. In other
words Smiser is in no sense an issue
of this contest. The real issue can
not and will not be obscured by at
tacks upon and insinuations against
private citizens who are moved in
this campaign by patriotic purpose
to serve their country as God gives
them the light to see it.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1913-10-24

a tremendous struggle for law en-
forcement. 1t is paradox OF our
American system that 1t costs more
in time and effort to secure the en-
forcement of a statute than it does to
get the law Brave souls, however,
have been engaged in the battle and
when finally victory loomed above the
horizon, the ranks of the enemy were
broken and defeat turned into COM
plete rout
There can never be but one result
of contest for law enforcement If
the fight is pursued with sufficient
vigor and for long enough. The law
must win. The sober, sane America,
who believes in the rule of law and
government of order, is in the mai
ority. Whe once aroused this class
are never been defeated. The diff
Guilty in Tennessee has been to
arouse the good government forces;
to make them realize the Importance
of the issue and the power that they
had.
But eternal vigilence is just as
surely the price of good government
as it is of liberty The liquor laws,
effective as they may be, will be
evaded and spurned unless the peo-
pie are vigilant and alert. 1t will
not do for the advocates of temper
ance to rest on their oars. Being a
good citizen is an every day business.
