THE REAL ISSUE.

Disguise it as they may, indulge
in all the flapdoodle and rot that the
human language can encompass
about surrender" to Great
Britain, the real and only issue In
the Panama Canal tolls question is
whether or not the democratic party,
in power and responsible for govern
ment, is willing to continue the re-
publican policy of ship subsidies.
There is not the slightest doubt
about free tolls for American coast
wise trade being an indirect, if not
a direct subsidy to the shipping trust.
Subsidies, special privileges, high
protective tariffs are all distinctly re-
publican doctrines. They have no
place in the policy of democratic
administration. The republican party
being in complete control of the gov
eminent and in harmony with its
policies of a half century, granted the
special subsidy to the American
shipping interests; the democratic
party should repeal the law just as it
has repealed the outrageous tariff
law enacted before it's restoration to
power.
The surprising feature of this fight
Is that democratic leaders like Clark
and Underwood, who have done so
much during the year that the party
has been in power, should lend them
selves to the undemocratic policy Of
a special subsidy to the shipping in
terests. 1t is true that Underwood
represents a state that might profit
by the subsidy, but for Clark than
can be no such excuse. Can it be
that the able speaker is influenced by
hostility to the President? He may |
be, but if he is we doubt if he is con-
scious of the fact.
Twenty-Five years ago the Nc
Kinley tariff bill granted subsidy
to the sugar growers of Louisiana,
and the democrats made the welkin
ring with bitter denunciations OF so
outrageous a prostitution of the pow
ers of taxation. In the next election
the party that sood sponsor for the

INTENDED TO DECEIVE.

Every now and then some politician
observes that "the Independents in
his section are not going to surrender
what they have gained" This senti-
ment is echoed frequently in the
Hooper organs. 1t is obviously in
tended by this patent sophistry to
create the impression among the I'M
thinking and the prejudiced that
there is some sort of a movement to
destroy the cause for which the indie
pendents have commended.
Assuredly the independent demo-
Gratis are not going to surrender"
anything for which they have con-
tended. So far as we have observed
there is not a political organization or
political leader in Tennessee who
has insisted that they surrender"
anything. On the contrary the sur
rendering" is all being done by the
erstwhile opponents of the independ-
ents and it is being done openly and
above board. 1t is the idlest rot and
buncomb to talk about the independ-
ents standing firmly for the cause: of
course they are standing for a cause
after it has triumphed and the enemy
has formally surrendered.
Those of us who have helped to
write our reforms upon the statute
books; who have stood for prohibit
ton when it was not nearly as popu- |
lar as it is now, when to do so cost |
in time and effort and sac /
rifice, can assuredly be depended
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1914-04-03

upon to stand for it now when the
enemy has run up the white flag and
it requires nothing in effort and sacri-
fee to embrace the cause. 1t is an
insult to the intelligence of independ-
ent democrats, as we'll as a reflection
upon their loyalty and devotion to a
good cause to continually urge and
plead and threaten them not to sur
render" especially when no one is
asking them to surrender.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1914-04-03
WHY ANY HASTE?

No one has yet satisfactorily ex-
planned why the independent demo
Gratis this year should violate the
precedent of two and four years ago
and take snap action. Why should an
effort be made to make the independ-
ent democrats merely the political as
sets or adjuncts of another political
party? Does true and genuine indie
pendence approve such action? Is
it in harmony with the real motives
that have actuated the independents?
1t strikes us that the effort to COM
NIT the Independents to any line of
policy in advance of the joining of is
sues in the pending contest savors
too much of distrust of them. What
have they done to invite the suspi-
cion that unless they are tied hand
and foot now they are not to be trust
ed?
1t will not do to say that eXtraneous
influences were not used to influence
early action upon the part of the in
dependent organization in committing
the independents at this early date.
Those who attended the meeting of
the committee saw the activity of ad-
ministration officials.
Now independents have resented
the interference of the President of
the United States. Why then should
not they resent also the interference
of the state administration? 1t is
common talk that on the day of the
meeting of the independent county
committee in Maury county the gov
ernor used the long distance tele-
phone for communicating with his
party associates in this county with
a view to getting line on the local
situation.
We believe that this is all wrong,
that the Independents can be trusted
to do what is right and will rebound
to the good of Tennessee without any
snap action or any outside effort to
influence them. Many will naturally
resent the implied suggestion that
they must be tied now.
No possible harm can result from
an intelligent policy of "watchful
waiting" Those who join in the
movement of April % are going to tie
themselves so that regardless of the
developments that will come when the
campaign is really in progress they
will be deprived of that independence
and devotion to the interests of the
state that they have enjoyed in the
past.
: 1t is our candid judgment that
mistaken and altogether ERRONEOUS
policy dictated the course that may
result in a division of the forces of
the independents that will be most
unfortunate. Harm may result from
the hasty action proposed while the
following of past presidents would
have been absolutely safe. =,

dwelling and Presentation Ceremony
at Courthouse Last Evening;
Picture Hung Today

At a public meeting held at the
courthouse last evening, the Woman's
Club of Redwood Falls presented the
Library with a beautiful framed
print Of the painting "Sir Galahad."
The ceremony attending the un-
yelling and presentation of the pic
ture was an impressive one witness
sed by many of the Redwood Falls
citizens.
The president of the Club, Mrs. W.
H. Gold, presided at the meeting which
was opened by an invocation by DR.
A. A. Joss, followed by two vocal
solos by Miss Jessie Walkup accom-
panied by Mrs. w. B. Clement.
Mr.. C. C. Little made an appro-
pirate address presenting the picture
to the Library Board, and at the close
of her remarks the picture was un-
yelled by little Lillian Marie AISLE
son. The picture was accepted by H
M. Hitchcock, president of the Lib
rary Board. Following the acceptance
two interesting papers were read; the
first by Mrs. Alice Jaehning, Civ
ing the historical and legendary set
ting of the painting of Sir Galahad
and the second by Mrs. Clague, Civ.
ing sketch of the life and paintings
of the artist Watts. The program
closed with the singing of America
by the audience.

wish of the donors, was hung in thu
