EDITORIAL COMMENT
Striking One May Hit the Other.

ShFiKIh9 Nhe way FfIt the Other.
st. Louis Times: The latest ruling
Of the interstate commerce commits
sion may be in way a blow at the
railroads. There is pretty well-de-
fined public suspicion that the railroad
companies are the express companies.
II is not clear why the railroads should
perform given service through a sep
arate organization.
1t Is upon the railroads that the
whole tack of carrying express matter
deVolVes, yet by the intervention of a
body of middlemen they perform this
service at rats which are fairly held to
be exorbitant. if not to some extent
discriminatory.
The functions of the express COM
panles, which maintain expensive offic-
es and officials drawing high salaries,
is not quite clear. The public does not
wholly understand why 1t should not
send packages by rail without sending
them "by express. That Is to say, the,
public cannot rid itself of the convic-
ton that the highly expensive express
services are superfiuous, in part at
least.
The ruling of the interstate COM
merce commission may be drastic, but
it is to be hoped that it may serve at
least to throw light upon a problem
that never has been made quite clear
to the public.

Business Men Not Worried,

st. Paul Pioneer Press: A forecast
of the extent to which tariff revision
probably will not upset the business
world Is given in the indifferences of
the manufacturers of the country. A
senate committee sent out lists of
questions in an effort to obtain the
views of the factory owners who might
be affected by the proposed changes
IN the law. The list was designed to
bring out information regarding vari-
Gus industries and the probable eff
feet the tariff revision would have on
those industries. Senator La Toilette
says that only sixty-six replies have
been received to the $500 sets of Ques-
tions sent out.
That showing leaves little doubt as
to the mental attitude of the recipients
of the lists. If the proposed revision
were to put the manufa cturer out Of
business or were to hamper him seri-
ously he would not be likely to over
look an invitation to protest. The
fact that 2,434 out Of a total of g.
800 were not sufficiently concerned to
reply TO the committee shows how. lit
tie they are worrying. The business
man is quick enough to scent danger
He is not bashful. If he saw trouble
ahead he would not hesitate to saw
SD and to get his friends to loiu him in
saying SO. His indifference IS is pretIy
good proof that he does not expect
the industrial world to be unset bv the
tariff bill

PETTY CRAFTS.

The Senate made bad beginning
when 1t voted to appropriate SIS of
the peoples money to each member
of the legislature for use in buying
stamps and stationery and to pay
stenographers. 1t is to be hoped that
the House will! promptly vote down
this unauthorized raid upon the
treasury. The state should be saved
the disgrace brought upon it by the
last legislature by reason of its flag
rant and unconstitutional raids upon
the treasury. The people are EMIT
led to something better
There is no warrant whatever for
these side" appropriations to the
members of the legislature. The
constitution expressly fixed the COM
pensation of the members at 81 per
day and mileage. Any sums which
they may vote to themselves, how
ever, disguised, are in direct contra
vention of the organic law of the
state and a violation of their oaths
of Office to support and defend the
constitution. If the members can
vote $25 for stamps and clerks, they
can with equal warrant vote 500 or
$3.50 for other expenses There is

USING THE PARCELS POST.

The parcels post has come to stay
1t is one of those advance steps In
the progress of the world which
make for greater comfort and con
venience for the people. 1t is an
other milestone in the onward march
of civilization toward better living
and freer communication between
the city and the rural communities
1t will help to make the bond be-
tween the farmer and his merchant
closer. The coming of good roads,
good rural schools, the telephone and
the free rural delivery of mails have
all contributed very materially to
the comfort and advancement OF the
agricultural life of the country.
These things have robbed the farm
er of his isolation from the world.
They have made the country more
attractive than it has ever been.
The farmers should use the parcels
post 1t will be a great asse. to
them. II will make for economy and
convenience. But they should hear
in mind that the best results to be
obtained from the parcels post are
those which come from orders sent
to the home merchants. The farm
ers of Maury county can get quicker.
better and more efficient and eco
nomical service by parcels post from
the merchants Of Columbia than they
can from the merchants Of Nashville
or any city. No city Of It's size tn
the South has more progressive and
more up to date merchants than Co
lumbia That il 20 by reason of the
fact that while the population of Co
lumbia ia not large, it is the center
of the richest county in the state, a
county that stands fifth in wealth
and sixth in population. There Is
no reason whatever why the farmers
of this county should not order dir
ect from the Columbia merchants.
They can buy cheaper; they have
credit at home, often a great conven-
fence and time saver. They can per-
sonally retify any mistakes in &C
counts or errors in service; they
know and are known by the local
merchants.
The parcels post can be used as a
means to cement the bond between
the city and the country, to the
great profit of both.

THE NEXT SENATOR.

Now that Patterson has been effect
ually eliminated from the senatorial
race it is the duty of the dominant
faction in the legislature to elecr as
a senator from Tennessee democrat
who will be in line and in sympathy
not only with the prevailing senti.
ment in Tennessee upon moral issues
but democrat who will truly repre-
sent the genuine progressive democ-
racy of the nation. In fine and in short
he should be a real democrat who
stands in Tennessee for the suprema-
cy Of the law and against the exploit
tation of the state by the liquor pow
er and back tax plunderbund and in
the nation for those policies which
William J. Bryan and Woodrow Will
SON represent and embody.
The republican members of the as.
sembly do not expect to elect a men,
Der of that party to the senate. On
the contrary they will cooperate with
the progressive democrats In the
election of democrat There is but
one way to insure the desired results
in the selection of senator and that
Ns by caucus of the progressive
democrats and the republican mem
,bers. They constitute in the affairs
of Tennessee the progressive element
of the legislature, They should come
together either in formal meeting or
through informal conferences in the
selection of senator SO that he may
be the character of representative in
the august legislative body of the
country that we have outlined
No candidate should be voted for
by the progressive element of the leg
islature who is not willing to submit
his claims to that faction. The So
called independent or progressive
democrat who is expecting to be
elected, II such there be, by the aid
OF regulars" or liquor democratic
votes, should receive no encourage
ment whatever from the forces of
good government in the legislature.

qualification that the movement to

usual devotion to duty and rare hon
esty of purpose. He has demonstrate
ed his capacity for the management
of the hundred and more schools OF

and required those under him to DO
the same. There has been no favor
itism In his administration Of the du-
ties Of his office. We believe that

superintendent in the state"

large. Compared with the salaries
paid other officials of the county who
do not have to have the qualifications

CLEAR WATERBE|NG
DISCUSSED BY THE
PUBLIC GENERALLY
MAYOR SAYS CLEARER WATER
SUPPLY MUST BE FoRTHcOM-
ING OR NEW CONTRACT.
MORE COMPLAINTS THAN USUAL
Water & Light Company Says No
New Contract Is Necessary, Old
One Runs Several Years, But Are
Willing to Make Change.

There has been more complaint
than usual during the past several
days regarding the character Of the
citys water supply, and many in
quiries are being made as to why
there is not something done about
looking to the supply of purer grade
of water
| Speaking with reference to this
matter Mayor Joe Dedman stated to-
day that individually he was positive
ly and uncompromisingly for filtered
or settled water, and he was positive
in his declaration that the board will
not stand for any contract that does
not contain provision for some char
acter of clear water, either filtered
or settled. That this sort Of a deal
will prevail Is almost assured. The
water and light people have already
submitted q proposition to the city,
and the city 10 making preparations
to make counter proposition.
When seen at the ofilces Of the Wa.
ter & Light Company, Mr.. Dobbins
said: Eyes, we have submitted a
proposition to the board but have
been informed that it was not accept
able, and that proposition would be
submitted to our company, but this
has not been done, Notwithstanding
it has been done some time. Our
contract regarding the water supply
has number If years yet to run, but
we are not only willing but anxious
that the people should have a clear
water supply, and if the city will; only
make US proposition we will do our
best to come to an agreement where
by the residents can be supplied with
clear water. Our proposition mat
was turned down was practically the
same plan and method Of alteration
that is in operation in cincinnati and
Nashville, and we feel absolutely con-
fident would prove satisfactory in Co.
lumbia. We are supplying the water
to the city in accordance with the
terms of our contract, but we are
ready any time to consider change
that will be mutually beneficial, and
will consider anything the city has to

The county court should 60 slow
in the matter of establishing any
more voting precincts. This county
now has twenty-nine voting places
or any average of one for every $50
votes in elections where the larg-
est votes are cast. More voting
places mean more cost to the tax
payers. With better and quicker
means of communication there is
less reason now for a multiplicity of
voting places than there has ever
been. Instead of increasing the
lumber of voting places there are
iome now in existence that might be
abolished. There is not much reason
for the existence of a voting place
that in the last election polled less
than seventy-five votes.
