THE ELECTION LAW

There is no reason that will be
accepted by the masses of Tenn
esseans that would have justified
the passage of the election law as
it came from the house. In Civ.
ing the majority the right to pame
all officers it was long step back.
wards, and harked back to- coDdi-
tiOns that offered the most primi-
tive conceptions of polite justice
and party honor. When the meas
ure came to the Senate, however,
it was so modified as to move in
keeping with fairness though still
not nearly SO good a law as the
one we already have. The Senate
bill gives to the Republicans bona
tide representation in elections,
and while the Independents are
denied any part, still it is not so
palpably unfair as was first threat
ened. No election law however
partizan or unfair can in this stage
of public enlightenment and pro-
r ess, ever disfranchise a people
or long prevent free expression
of the peoples will. Any measure
so designed will only react upor
upon its arti6cers to defeat anC
discomft them. If the petty tao
tion slists at Nashville imagine
that by getting control of the cleo
tiOn machinery they may stay the
ever swelling tide of temperance
legislation in Tennessee, they rec
kOn without their host. The grea
throbbing heart of a people is ire
vocably set against the evils o
inlemperance, the lawlessness o
liquor, and when their time comes
to speak, they will speak in thun-
der tones, and no election law viii
be able to silence or even subdut
their voice, or stop or stay thei
purpose. A certain set can save
themselves muon worry by recog-
nizing this fact.

When she saw her son dyin
And all the people cried out shame
And woe to Barbara Allen.
