ELECTION OFFICERS.

If Maury county does not have a
fair election on August it assuredly
will not be due to any negligence or
conspiracy on the part of the cleo
ton commissioners We believe that
the unbiased citizen of the county
who knows men will agree that the
list of election officers appointed by
the commissioners is generally q
high class one. All parties and fac
tons are represented in the list. But
the officers were not appointed so
much because Of their politics but
by reason of the confidence which
the commissioners felt in their in
tegrity and patriotism. 1t is not an
easy matter to get high class election
officers. Many of the best citizens
in the county will not serve under
any consideration. It does not help
the cause of honest elections to ap.
point honest men who will not serve.
The commissioners have sought to
obtain the services Of men both cap.
able and willing to do their duty at
the polls. In this we believe that
they have generally succeeded.

DAY OF THE DEMAGoGUE,

This is the day of the demagogue
Never has he fuorished in this coun-
try as he does now And his especial
habitat or basis of operations seems
to be the senate of the United States
The recent progressive" movement,
resulting in the selection of senators
by popular primaries and direct vote,
has swept into the senate a lot of
top waters" or fake reformers: men
who believe that reform consists in
denouncing all who have made a sue.
cess in life; who affect to think that
the accumulation of a few thousand
dollars is a crime; who love the
sound Of their own voice. or such is
Reed, Of Missouri. Mr.. Reed may not
know it, but he is the typical dema
gogue. Doubtless he thinks he is
right; that he is the great tribune OF
the people; their one and only cham
pion; that were his eyes to close for.
ever the light of human liberty
would perish from the face of the
earth.
Mr.. Reed was bitterly opposed to
the confirmation Of Mr.. Jones for
member of the federal reserve board
He based his opposition on the
ground that Mr.. Jones was a direc.
tor of the International Harvester
Company, corporation charged with
violating the antitrust law. It is not
shown that Mr.. Jones was a party to
these violations, that he was in any
way responsible for them. But he
has been a successful business man,
he has accumulated a considerable
fortune. And therein lies the secret
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1914-07-31

Of the fight made on him. He Is a
shining mark for the place seekers
and the demagogues. The govern.
ment and the people are to be denied
the benefit of his splendid services
on the reserve board. And why?
Simply because the demagogues must
have sacrifice. That is all. The
people will some day learn to ap-
,reciate the difference between the
real reformer and the fake variety,
and until they do they must pay ex-
pensively for their ignorance.

PADGETT APPRECIATED.

That Representative Padgett, OF
this district, is appreciated by those
who know the value of a capable
alert and gifted legislator, is attest.
ed by the voluntary tributes Of Presi-
dent Wilson, Secretary Daniels and
Admiral Dewey. They have all ex-
pressed in the very strongest terms
their admiration of the capable man.
ner in which he steered the great ma
val appropriation bill, one of the big
gest supply measures. through the
house.
But that is not all. This measure
contains original legislation, the work
largely of Chairman Padgett of the
committee, that will be Of great value
to the navy. One feature of the bill
that has brought forth the very high
est commentator from the council
of the churches of Christ in America,
and that will appeal to all Christian
men and women, is that which very
largely increases the number Of chap
lains in the navy. More attention
will be given in the future to the spir-
itual and moral welfare of the men
of the navy. This, coupled with the
secretary's order against the use of
liquor, is sure to improve very ma
terially the morals Of the navy.
There is still another item in the
bill that opens the door Of hope to
the ambitious men of the navy. 1t is
provided that a number Of enlisted
men shall be, upon competitive exam
nation, appointed officers. This en-
ables the man of merit and Of char
acter to rise by his own efforts and
through his own merit to the highest
position in the navy. 1t is democrat
ic and it is just. These achievements
mark Mr.. Padgett one of the fore
most legislators of his time.

WILLIAMS DENIAL.

1t has been repeatedly charged by
unfriendly papers that Judge vii.
liams was appointed to the supreme
bench as the result of a deal with
Gov. Hooper, agreeing in advance OF
his appointment that he would be q
candidate for reelection on an indie.
pendent ticket in order to further
the cause of fusion in the state.
Judge Williams emphatically denies
this charge. We are accepting his
denial at face value. We cannot for
one moment believe that a man who
has sustained the high character that
Judge Williams has,, whose integrity
is vouched for by all who know him
best, would make any statement for
political consideration that would not
ring true In these considerations
the one and only charge affecting
Judge Williams fitness for the bench
has been effectively disposed Of. No
one questions his ability, his high
character, his sterling integrity and
his devotion to duty No good rea.
son can now be given, except a pure
ly partisan one, why he should not
be his own successor. Since Tennes-
see is pretty definitely committed to
a non-partisan judiciary we must
agree that Judge Williams election
is almost assured.

POLITICAL 5uNcoMB.

Says the Chattanooga News, dem
ocratic journal:
Some newspapers have been dis
posed 10 attack Commissioner Peck's
agricultural train. calling it Hoop
er campaign special" This is Meth
er right nor GOOD po'tjcs. We are in
clined to the belief that there Is nc
agricultural department in the South
which has been kept as free from pol
itics as that under Capt. Peck. Few
are doing as much good work We
should be Tenesseans before we are
partisans, and if any department of
the state government is aiding in the
development of Tennessee credit
ungrudgingly should be given"
Our newspapers in Tennessee are a
long ways from the high ideal that
should obtain in the discussion of po-
litical issues. They are still given
very much to clap trap and buncomb
discussion of public questions. They,
or many Of them, cling to the old
idea that the people are very easily
fooled, that twaddle and rot, like that
to which our esteemed contemporary
refers, will make some votes.
No votes are going to be made in
this campaign for the democratic
party by disappearing Hooper or
his administration. Neither the gov.
ernor nor his administration is free
from legitimate criticism; the COVER
nor is himself most unfair oppon.
ent, but because he does not conduct
his campaign on high plane is no
excuse for misrepresentation upon
the part Of his enemies. There are
many grounds upon which Hooper's
career as politician may be fairly
and legitimately attacked. And If
the democratic papers are wise they
will confine their criticism to those
things.
Capt. Peck has not been a "politi.
cal asset" Of the governor. So far as
we know the able and honorable com.
missioner of agriculture has given
his time to a thoroughly high class
administration of the duties of his
Office He has not bargained or in
trigued or dickered in politics. He
has rendered and is rendering valua-
BILE service to the people of Tennes-
see. He is entitled to the co-opera-
alton Of the press for the great work
that he is doing to develop the re-
sources Of the state.

SWEEP GORDON SELLS
FILLY FOR $1,000
THROUGH WILLIAM WEBSTER,

MEMPHIS.

Through the agency of Will Web.
| ster, Jr., Swep Gordon has sold his
three year old trotting filly, Sweet
Myrtle, to Abe Frank. of Memphis,
for $1,000. This is the third horse
in the last eighteen months which
Mr.. Webster has bought in Maury
county for Mr. Frank. The sale of
the filly was made Wednesday.
Sweet Myrtle has been in the
hands Of Ben Whitehead all spring.
She is a daughter Of AL Stanley
|2:O7A and Doll Belle, daughter of
Election Bell. She has been regard
ed as filly of exceptional speed, and
is entered in number of futurities
for three year olds.
The other horses which Mr.. Web
ster has bought for Mr.. Frank were
Louise F., for which he paid $500,
and Minnie Combs, which brought
$3.50. The combined value Of the
three horses is $3,450.
The demand for good horses that
can do something is greater than
ever, but the breeders and owners
will not give their horses a chance.

PosToFFIcE At COLUMBIA.

1t will be pleasing to the friends
Of Mrs. E. w. Carmack and to her
late husband to know that President
Wilson has appointed her postmis.
tress at Columbia, Tenn, and that
her appointment has been confirmed
Mrs. Carmack was never an appli.
cant for the place. If the position
had been rendered her at first she
would probably have accepted it.
Congressman Padgett recommended
another person, but that candidate
declined to accept the appointment.
Then the president sent in the ap.
pointment of Mrs. Carmack.
There has been an effort in certain
quarters to make political capital,
favorable and unfavorable to certain
politicians, because of the failure to
appoint Mrs. Carmack first and the
final appointment. Tactics of this
sort will be painful to Mrs. Carmack
and distressing to the real friends
of her dead husband.
The appointment is a good one for
the reason that Mrs. Carmack will
make good postmistress. She is a
woman of tact and ability and will
discharge the duties of the Office in
a maner that will be pleasing to
patrons Of the postoffice and a credit
to herself.-Memphis Commercial

BOLD ATTEMPT TO

EFFORT MADE TO DECEIVE BUT
FolLED BY SECRETARY J.
{. LITTlEFIELD.
SOME one REPRESENTED OTHER
Election Secretary Called Over Tel
ephone and Told to Take w. S.
Lentz Name From the Ballot With
out the knowledge OF the Latter.

A bold attempt was made on Wed
nesday by some unknown person to
perpetrate a fraud on one of the can
didates in the county and have his
name withdrawn from the ballot.
However, Secretary ]. Eastin Little
field, of the county board of election
commissioners, was too wise to bite
and the plan was foiled.
During the day some called the ge-
NAL and accommodating secretary OF
the county election board and stat
ed that his name was LENT" "W.
S. Lentz," of the eighth district. He
said that he had decided to withdraw
from the race for constable and want
ed to have his name eliminated from
the printed ballots. Mr.. Littlefeld,
while not at all suspicious, thought
that it would be a good idea to in
vestigate before he instructed the
printer to leave the name of the tick
ct. He therefore called a friend at
Sawdust Valley who got into commu.
nication with Mr.. Lentz.
Upon hearing the report that he
had withdrawn, Mr.. Lentz was sur
prised. He was astonished; in fact
he was dumbfounded; completely as
founded; it was news with cap IN"
to him. He had never before heard
such suggestion, rumor, report or
intimation. He did not believe there
was any foundation for the report. In
fact he knew there was no truth in
1t. He promptly made denial.
Mr.. Lentz denial to Secretary Lit
tlefield was complete. 1t was en-
phatic; it was thoroughly unequivo-
cal; 1t was wholly without evasion.
On the contrary 1t was frank, d.
rect and positive disavowal Of any
Intention, present, contemplated or
remote, that he would quit, get out
or withdraw from the contest for con-
stable. On the contrary he declared
his purpose to remain in the race I'M
til the polls closed.
Naturally Secretary Littlefield was
indignant. He has no idea, however,
who It was that tried to deceive him,
although he has made very diligent
inquiry. He made the positive an
nouncement, however, that every
name would go on the ballot unless
withdrawn in writing duly witnessed
by the candidate.

the treatment of their horses. He
breeds the right kind, gives them
something to eat, and an opportunity
to show what they can do. He makes
more money with two mares than the
average breeder does with dozen.
1t will be of interest to know the
career of Henry F., once owned in
Columbia by Drs. Biddle and Wilkes,
and known as Billy. He sold in Mem.
phis recently for $4,000. He has been
raced this year and has not lost
heat or race.
