great war between the states has
been little less than marvellous. Its
people have been forward looking,
ever alive to opportunities and always
determined in their efforts for prog
ress and advancement, The city re-
ceived a serious set back in the in
fiated boom days of the late eighties,
which followed by the panic OF the
early nineties would have discouraged
a less resolute and heroic people. But
the recovery has been rapid. Long
ago Chattanooga gained all Of the lost
ground and is steadily forging on to
the achievement of results not dream
ed of even in the days of the boom.
We congratulate Chattanooga upon
the success of it's latest and greatest
industrial enterprise.

CONFEDERATE PENSIONS.

The president of the United Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy in her ad-
dress at the New Orleans convention
took strong ground against the sug-
gestion that Confederate soldiers be
pensioned by the federal government.
And we believe that she is right. The
Southern people should take care of
the veteran defender sof the South.
They are able to 1t and if proper pro-
vision has not already been made it
should be. The pathway of the few
surviving heroes of Dixie to the grave
should be made esasy as possible.
We do not like the idea of making
the Confederate soldiers the benefi-
Charles of the bounty of the general
government For one thing the pen
sion roll of our federal government is
OF altogether a roll of honor; too
many names are on that roll that
ought not to be- But the Confederate
pension roll in Tennessee is roll
Of honor; it is made up Of the de-
serving soldieres of the south.
The people Of the South have not
complained and they will not CON-
plain at the burden which pensions
for the confederate soldiers impose
upo them. 1t Is a burden that a
great majority of them love to bear
1t is a proper and loving tribute to
the brightest pages in that history
of our common country. Let the
men and the noble women of the
South continue to take care of the
soldiers who followed the stars and
bars. 1t is a sacred duty that must
not be shirked.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1913-11-21
theirs to make the state more pros

theirs to make the state more pros
porous.
Our tax laws need revision. They
are a menace to the business inter
ests of the state. The system is in
many respects unfair and unjust.
Our county government is out or
date. It is not economical nor is it
efficient, as general proposition.
We have too many commissions and
too many boards. Authority is not
sufficiently concentrated. The COM
mission symtem has worked admira-
bly, with the cities of the country and
there is no reason why 1t should net
give equally as satisfactory results
when applied to the Counties.
Our public service corporations
should be regulated and controlled.
No unfair and unjust war should be
made upon any corporation because
it is a corporation. They should
have just treatment, but they should
be properly regulated and controlled,
both for their own protection and in
the interest of the people.
Our laws need revision. The state
should have a new codification of
it's laws. A mass of hastily drawn
and lily digested and unintelligible
laws clutter up the statute books.
While immense strides have been
made in public education our sys-
tenn of schools is not yet equal to the
demands of the people.
These are only few of the mat
tiers that should claim attention. If
the socalled regulars will be actual
ed by patriotic motives and will be
willing to make common cause with
the independent democrats for the
good OF the state the democratic
party can again be restored to pow
er and responsibility in Tennessee.
But it can no longer win upo its name
or because of label.

cHATTANooGA's PROGRESS.

With appropriate and brilliant cere-
monies the people Of Chattanooga last
week celebrated the completion Of
the huge power plant on the Tennes-
see river that will generate $4,000
horse power and is destined to revo-
lutioniZe the industrial life of all that
section OF the state. The completion
of the huge Hales Bar plant, one of
the largest and most expensive in the
country, is a notable achievement for
the enterprising and progressive peo-
pie of Chattanooga. 1t required
pluck, determination and courage of
a high order to carry this great enter
prise to successful conclusion. The
development and utilization Of such
tremendous power will give a great
impetus to manufacturing in Chatta-
nooga, a city that is ideally located to
take full advantage of the opportu-
mites thus Afforded

Throughout the state the standard of
turkey production is measured from

familiar with the statistics on this
years crop that more than 100000
worth of the birds will be shipped out
OF the county before the coming of
1914.

FUSION IN FUTURE.

The Chattanooga Times in review
ing the speech of Gov. Hooper at the
national Anti-Saloon League conven
ton at Columbus, Ohio, declares that
the chief executive makes it plain
that he will try to perpetuate the
policy of fusion in Tennessee. And
we are rather inclined to the view
that the Times, for once in it's his
tory, correctly Interpreters the COVER
nor. Whether or not the governor

tinue in this state is born of an ambi
ton to receive further honors as a
result of an amalgamation of the
best elements of the democratic and
republican parties, we leave to 9th.
ers and to future events to determine
However, it is not altogether i'm.
probable that the Governor is right
and that the next campaign in Ten.
nessee will be fought on the lines
of those of 1910 and 1912. That de.
Ponds largely upon the attitude OF
the democratic machine in the state
So far as The Herald is concerned it
would much prefer a regenerated. re-
habilitated and a reformed democra.
,cy to fusion with any party. 1t be-
lieves now as it always has that the
democratic party in its regular organ
ization, should represent the best in.
terests and the highest sentiment of
a majority Of the people of the state.
1t believes that the democratic party
should be SO organized, Offered and
manned that it will commend the re-
spect Of the best people OF Tennes-
see. 1t one time did this. We hope
to see it on that high plane again.
But we are frank to say that if the
so-called regular organization proves
In the preliminary campaign of next
year that it has forgotten nothing
and learned nothing Gov. Hooper's
prophecy as to fusion in Tennessee
will prove correct one The peo-
pie OF this state, large majority of
them, regardless of party affiliations
Ire going to have decent government,
the enforcement of the laws and the
destruction of the liquor traffic and
they are not very particular as to the
banner under which they must nght
to achieve these results.
New York City is a normal and a
natural democratic community by a
large majority, but a fusion ticket
was elected because the democratic
organization ceased to deserve the
support Of majority of the people.
And that is just what happened in
Tennessee. This state will be demo-
cratic in 1914 if the democratic party
deserves the support of majority OF
the people; it would have been dem
ocralic in 1910 and 1912 if the demo
cratic Marty had deserved the conf
dence Of the people.
