II is unfortunate for himself
and for the country that Secreta-
ry% state W. J. Bryan has found
it necessary at this particular
juncture to absent himself from
his Office. So'many grace ques-
tons are pressing themselves on
our government each one threat
eniug a crisis, that the secretary
OF state should not be away from
his Office for one hour, The
clerks in the Office should not be
onerated with these delicate and
important matters. The MeXi-
can question is acute and our re-
lations with Japan are by no
means in a satisfactory shape
At such a time the public expects
every man to be at his post,
Absence from his place of duty
and engaging in other business
would not be tolerated in an in
ferior Office of the government
for a moment. In this view OF
the question Mr. Bryan is setting
bad example and his course is
calculated to demoEalize the pub
lie services. His course in this
matter is very unfortunate and
mnch to be regretted, 1t has the
appearance of commercializine
the great Office he holds and has
done more to lower his mora
tone with the American people
than anything in his great ca

Some ardent antagonists of
the "Back-Tax' system as it is
practiced in Tennessee, are uEg-
ing that ComptrollR Wooden
make no appointments as revenue
agents, thus multiplying the Old
law which he has so vehemently
opposed. 'Tis rather delicate
question as to how far an execu-
tive official may go in constituting
a law he has sworn to carry out;
a question as to whether the ap.
pointment of revenue agents is
mandatory or merely discretion
airy with him. If the law allows
him to act on his own judgement,
we would personally prefer that
no appoin TIM e nts be made,
Against this idea, it is urged
that some methods of picking
up" for taxes, property not as
sessed or inadeqpately assessed
must be provided, and this is
quite true, But this is fully pro
vided for through the power
with which several county off.
Gals and state boards are clothed,
1t is true that these agencies
have not shown the activity in
this line which has been Sdis-
PLAYED by the revenue agents,
the profits of whose places de-
ponds upon their uutiring and
sometimes perniciouS "buSy-body-
ing And it is this very fact
which has brought the revenue
agent so low in popular esteem,
and many Of us would be really
pleased that the business inter
ests of the state be given a rest
for a little while from this often
unjust and offensive espionage.
We believe that if the matter

The downfall of the Huerta
regime in Mexico seems now to
be fixed and certain. Huerta
established his power by assassi-
nation, treachery and murder.
His rule will possibly end the
same way, The mischiefs we do
return to plague In allying with
this discredited criminal Japan
has made a mistake. Our gov
eminent will now place the rebel
Carranza on an eqaul footing
with lIuerta by allowing him to
buy arms and ammunition in this
country, When this is done the
Huerta regime will go to pieces
at once.

ITS THIRTIETH YEAR

With this issue the Democrat
enters upon its thirtieth year,
and busy, earnest, hopeful years
OF labor and of love for its own
homeland, every moment of this
time has been. AS it has grown,
so has bigger better era come
TO the country roundabout In
the development and betterment
of all lines of human activity,
it has been a leader always, new
er laggard, It's motto, Cry
Aloud and Spare Not, has been,
as we trust it will ever be, a pill
lar OF cloud by day and of fire by
night, to lead it on and ever on
to the achievement of loftiest
ideals and most usekll service.
In this connection, we give in
this issue extracts from letter
from one of its first editors,
which is timely and interesting
telling somewhat of its early
hopes and fears, and pointing
b again to its magnifcently sig
uifcant scriptural motto. That
public journal or private either
who lives Loyalty by that lofty
civic ideal, is approaching very
near to the highest public useful
ness and patriotism. We trus
that we may never forget, no
lightly regard Col' otIlOIlnR
splendid christening Nail he
up there and let her stay.
And now, on this our nata
day, we pledge renewed devotion
TO the ideals that have guide
our checkered past, trusting tina
we may ever more n.arly reac
them, serving our town, on
country and Maker with rot d
minished, but rather with in
creasing loyalty and love, du
ing the next and all the othS
years.
