WHISKY AND DEMOCRACY

WHISKY AND DEMOCRACY
Some people have held to the
opinion that man could not be a
good democrat in Tennessee and
oppose whisky. Especially has
this idea been dominant during
the strenuous liquor fight Of the
last few years. The Democrat has
meyer subscribed to that idea. We
have always believed that a man
could oppose the open saloon, or
the legal sale of whisky in any
form as to that, and be a good
democrat. Many Of our good
friends have looked at the matter
differently and have sought to de-
stroy the influence of the paper
because it would not bow to the
dictates of that faction of the demo-
cratic party in Tennessee which
was in sympathy with the whisky
interests.
We have believed all along that
we we're right, we are stronger of
the opinion now and we are glad to
see many who for awhile SO bitter
~ opposed US coming around to
our way of thinking. 1t is also
gratifying to find that leading
democrats of the nation are men
who have no sympathy with the
whisky business. In this connect
ion the following utterance from
Hon. William j. Bryan is very
significant:
A man can be Democrat in
good standing without staggering
when be walks.
DO not accuse me of bringing
this question into politics; | met
an issue after it had been intro
duced, and if | have any apologies
to offer, / shall not offer them to
the liquor interests for speak
ing now; | shall offer them to the
fathers and mothers of this state
for not speaking sooner.
"DemocraticgF states have not
only county option, but they have
adopted state prohibition.
"The saloon is an outlaw and a
nuisance, and it lives by sufferance
where it lives at all. You do not
defend the saloon as an snstitution;
you tolerate it, if you tolerate it
at all, on the theory that if you
tried to abolish it you might get
something worse.
We.feel that-the regular demo-
Gratis in Tennessee have made q
mistake and have hurt the demo-
cratic party by their allegiance to
and stand for whisky. This, of,
course. applies to the leaders of
the party for we can not help but
believe that there are many good
regular democrats in the rank and
file Of the party who are not for
whisky and who do not endorse
the recent action of the leaders.
The rarity to succeed and to get
back its old time prestige and
standing will have to throw over
board the cause of the open saloon.

CRITICIZE HANDLING
OF GETTYSBURG FUND
One Confederate Says Custodian Fa-
vOred "Select Few"
Columbia State, 18th.

Columbia State, 18th.
To the Editor of the State: Are we
getting square deal? Judging from
Gen. leagues letter in Saturdays
State, many of US who were at Gettys-
burg are not. The intention Of the
appropriation was to help all the vet
erans who participated in the battle
all were to be treated alike, is my
understanding. And besides, Gen.
league issued a circular letter for all
those who contemplated going to the
meeting to get their applications to
his Office by June Is, which he won't
deny Instead of waiting until June
Is to see how many would apply, and
then apportioning the fund to all
alike, however small the amount, he
gives out all the funds to portion OF
the applicants and leaves some with
out any help, several days before the
time designated.
I don't know how other old soldiers
look at it, but it looks like caucus
work to me: giving the States money
to a part of the intended benefcaries
and saying to the others, Get there
if you can, pay r own way or stay
at home; it is not for you, but for
those whom I have selected" :"
Now, Mr.. Editor, among all the
men of our State I think the old SOL
dier should be the last ones to be hu-
inflated by such treatment as those
who were left out in the apportion-
ment of this fund have received.

awkward Situation"

To the Editor of the State: The
State of Pennsylvania has generously
nrovided for reunion of the survi-
yors of the two great armies that
fought each other in the memorable
battle of Gettysburg. A reunion IN
the spirit of civic friendship and good
will towards each other after an
elapse of so eventful years would
doubtless be a pleasant episode, al
though combined with a feeling OF
sadness in the experience of all in at
tendance. In view of the invitation
to ex-Confederates to attend, the last
session of the South Carolina legisla-
ture assumed the work of providing
to defray the railroad expenses of her
soldiery to and from the reunion, but
the legislative big hearted solons in
stead of arranging to draw upon the
State treasury for the necessary
amount fixed it at $1,000, enough to
provide for 81 veterans, while in fact
we have III who have been led to
apply for transportation. The pro-
vision thus made is a legislative dis
grace to the State and an insult to
those who have accepted the invita-
ton. Such little legislation reminds
me of the legislative ex-Confederate
pauper pension act, which was passed
q few years ago under the guise OF
helping the needy veterans who put
their lives upon their country's altar
in the interest of State rights and
Southern sentiment. Being great
proud and financially prosperous State
and not being willing to expend all Of
our energy in regard to the old SOL
der in high sounding and skyscraplne
adiectives in praising his self-sacrl-
fcing heroism, our lawmakers passed
an act to give needy soldiers a pen,
sion. But the soldier must certify
that he was a member of certain
company and regiment and get two
other soldiers to certify to the same
and then swear that his entire in,
come from all sources during the pre-,
ceding year was not in excess of S75
an amount really less than the ex'
penses of feeding a common mule
and upon complying with these re-
quirements he is given little more
than 81 a year. Yes, we have State
pension law to help the needy eX-

FORESTS TO ASSURE PURE
WATER.

@ 9 g 9 9 9 @ 9 9 @ 9 9 9 9 9 q q
Secretary Houston has just APPROX
ed an agreement between the depart
ment of Agriculture and the town OF
Stafford, Arizona, by which the forest
service and the town will cooperate
to conserve Safford's water supply,
which comes principally from the
Crook National forest.
This is the latest one of many such
agreements. According to the figures
of the forest service there are nearly
1000 cities and towns in the West
which derive their water supply from
lands within the National forests.
Where these cities desire it the gov
-ernment joins hands with the citi-
zens for the purpose of maintaining a
permanent and pure water supply.
Stock raising, for example, Or any
other occupancy of the land, which Or
dinarily would be encouraged, would
be inadvisable on a watershed which
forms a source of drinking water. The
forest service recognizes that water
is as necessary commodity for wood
ed hillsides to supply as are saWlogs
or mine props. A watershed area may
offer an opportunity to furnish the
greatest benefit to the largest number
through supplying an unpolluted
source Of water for domestic purpos-
es.
Contracts like that just made with
Stafford are now in force with Cas-
cade, Colorado Springs, Durango, and
Manitou in Colorado; Salt Lake in
Utah; and Baker City and The Dal-
les, Oregon. The famous Bull Run
watershed, which supplies Portland,
Oregon, is on the Oregon National for
est.
The cooperative agreement in each
case provides that the land may not
be used without approval by the town
except for the protection and care of
the forests. The government agrees
to extend and improve the forests by
seeding, planting, and forest man
agement, so far as the funds for that
purpose are available. The city, for
its part, assists by paying the salaries
of the additional guards necessary to
carry out the agreement, and ,con-
! tracts to bear the greater part Of the

horses with well-built drag can drag
about 3 or 4 miles in a day, and it
is the best way to maintain good
roads. In every county some farmer
along each miles of road should own
a drag and drag the road when it
rains, and he would always find the
road in good condition when he goes
to market.
Owing TO the fact that many rural
schools were closed at the time when
the prize maintenance essay was an
nounced by Director Logan Waller
Page of the office of public roads, it
has been decided to extend the limit
for receiving the essays to October
Is, 1913. In addition to the gold med
al given as first prize, two silver med
ais will be given as second and third
prizes. If a child who has submitted
one essay previous to the issue of this
notice should care to try again, he is
at liberty to do so, but he must be a
pupil of rural school. There is
some misunderstanding in regard to
the subject of the essay. The idea IS
to set the children thinking how to
better their earth roads with the ma
terial they have at hand.
