1t would be infinitely better fol
Mexico and in the end inure to the
good of this country, if the stars ant
stripes were raised in that country
to remain for all time. Mexico would
profit more from American occupa
ton and American government thar
this country would. In the event the
account would be balanced. What
that country needs above all things
is strong, stable and efficient gov
eminent, something that it will never
have until some stronger and better
race than the mongrel mixture tina,
now makes up it's population domi
mates.
If the stars and stripes foated over
Mexico and it were governed as q
province of this country the great
majority of the people would enjoy a
much higher degree of liberty than
they have ever known. They would
have stronger and better and more
efficient government than they have
ever experienced. The splendid re-
sources Of the country would be de
veloped under the strong and stable
government that this nation would
give it. Wherever the Anglo Saxon
has planted his flag and carried his
language there he has dominion and
It is in those countries, which

that are first in the onward march OF
progress and civilization. 1t is in
those lands that people enjoy the
highest measure of individual liber
ty and are making the greatest pro
gress toward that ultimate goal that
means the universal brotherhood OF
man and the fatherhood Of God.
Mexico is country of vast resourc.
es. The surface has hardly been
scratched. Although lying in the
temperate zone for the most part, its
attitudes and valleys give it every va.
riety of climate. Under the direc-
tion Of the worlds greatest civilizing
influence, the Anglo Saxon, 1t would
bloom and blossom into veritable
paradise for man. It is capable OF
supporting a population vastly larg.
er than that which 1t now has.

DON'T FORGET THE
HOG CHOLERA SERUM
MEETING SATURDAY
MASS MEETING OF FARMERS
WILL BEHELD AT COURT
HOUSE AT II O'CLOCK.
LETTERS MAILED 500 FARMERS
President Anderson of Board of Trade
Has Been Active the Entire Week
Accusing lnterest-Thinks There
Will Be Great Outpouring.

| Remember to attend the farmers
meeting at the court house Saturda.
at II o'clock.
This is the slogan of President VIII
liam F.. Anderson, Of the Board Of
Trade. For practically the whole
week he has been devoting his time
and attention from his work to stir
ring up and arousing interest among
the farmers Of the county in the
meeting that will be held Saturday
for the purpose of raising the funds
to secure the hog cholera serum dem.
onstration for Maury county. He has
mailed out five hundred or more let
tiers to the farmers of the county, re-
questing their attendance and stress
ing the Importance Of attending the
meeting. He has been to Nashville,
seen what they are doing there to
stamp out this great disease among
swine, and he has returned with the
intention and purpose of getting che
demonstration for Maury county if
work counts for anyehing. No one
can stress too much the benefit that
will accrue to the farmers if tho DEM
onstration is secured. It will DC the
only one south of the Ohio river.
Maury county would become the dis
tributing point Of the serum for the
entire South. At an expenditure of
$4,000 or $4,000, $4,000 worth of the
serum would be gotten absolutely
free Of charge. Not only that, but
four or five men will be here to dem
onstrate the use of it. Their services
will be absolutely free. In the twelve
months that they would be In the
county, they would practically stamp
out every vestige of this dreaded and
fatal disease.
Some Of the farmers of the county
who have seen the results from the
application of the serum, have ex-
pressed their willingness to contrib
ute literally to the fund to he rails
ed One said that he was down for
$50, another has said $25, and still
there are other larger or smaller
amounts. They have found that it is
cheaper to contribute these amounts
than to have to buy larger quantities
each year.
Lay aside business Saturday morn
ing and come to the meeting, the re-
suits of which will be the most I'M
portant that have occurred in this
city and county for many years. The
opportunity is in our grasp. Il is up
to the meeting to determine whether
they want this great demonstration,
the only one of its kind that will be
established in the South.

Whatever one may think of thar
mony" as general proposition, we
take that no friend of good govern
ment can offer any serious objection
to that brand Of 1t that is respon-
sible for sending men like Capt. A..
j. Harris of Robertson county, to the
legislature. He has served in that
body before and the people of Ten
nessee would be only too willing to
have legislature made up of men of
his sort.

NOT CONVINCING.

In the course of an interview with
Judge Burrow, candidate for the dem
ocratic nomination for supreme jus
tice, the Knoxville Sentinel says:
Judge Burrow is strongly endors-
ed by number of members of the
bar and 1t is automatically stated
that three of the present members of
the supreme court favor the election
Of Justice Burrow to that court"
1t will be noticed that it is not here
stated that Justice Burrow was re-
sponsible for this information, but
the plain inference is that he was.
The Herald does not know whether
or not 1t is true that three or any
number Of members Of the present
supreme bench are supporting Judge
Burrow and that fact is not material,
but 1t Is unfair to Justice Williams
to seek to create the impression that
for some reason his colleagues an the
Dencn nave not that regard Tor him
and that confidence in him that would
cause them to espouse his candidacy.
We do not believe that three of
the members of the supreme court
are for Judge Burrow, but If they
were his ardent supporters the fact
would constitute no reason why the
people Of Tennessee should be con-
WINGED that his election would best
serve their interests. The people Of
this state have twice emphasized
their devotion to free and untram-
meled judiciary and they would not
be inclined to allow judges whom they
have elected to dictate whom their

More live stock and better live
stock means not only more immedi-
ate profit from the farm, but 1t means
constant improvement of the farms.
1t is like having stock In bank that
pays good dividend but at the same
time adds to the surplus every year.
That is what the well conducted stock
farm is doing. It is paying a divt

The latest thing In the way of a
newspaper joke is the charge of the

Amis controls the editorial policy of
The Columbia Herald. It is true
that Col. Amis and Editor Finney

not by any means indicate that eth.

MANY CHILDREN
Give EVIDENCE
Coroner Continues Probe Of CaIu-
met Disaster.

Calumet. Mich, Dec. 3l.-Possible
Identification of the man who started
the Christmas eve catastrophe by
calling fire" in crowded hall at
Red Jacket was predicted by o. N.
Hilton, chief counsel for the Western
Federation OF Miners. Mr.. Hilton
asked that the coroner's inquest into
the tragedy of seventy-two deaths be
adjourned because he desired to pro-
ducc several witnesses who said they
could identify the man.
The greater part of the evidence
again was that the cry of lire came
from within the hall. Three of the
thirty or more witnesses claimed to
have seen a Citizens alliance button
on the man.
Three witnesses, Mrs. Theresa Ca.
be-. Charles Olson and Hilda Forster,
swcre they saw man wearing a
Citizens alliance button come into the
door. wave his hands and cry fire.
These statements controyerted the
testimony of two union men who said
they stood I'm the vestibule of the hall
and that the cry came from within
the place. no one wearing the insignia
of the unions enemies having passed
them.
Mrs. Czabo and the Forster girl ad.
mitted under cross-examination by
jurors that they had discussed their
testimony with attorneys or officers of
the local miners union. Olson said
he had not talked about his expert,
cnce with any one connected with the
Investigation.
The proceedings were held In the
hall where the disaster occurred and
several child witnesses re-enacted
their parts in the tragedy. One girl
emphasized that her greatest anxiety
was to save her bag of candy.
Incompromising adherence to their
determination never to recognize the
Western Federation of Miners was
pronounced by mine managers OF the
copper strike district who were will
ing to discuss the visit here of John
n. Densmore. solicitor of the depart
ment of labor. The fact that Mr.
Deusmore announced his mission as
one of cancellation made most of the
employers shake their heads du
biously.

day by Free Press representative
whether he thought the $1,000 paid
by Peter Klages for the saloon H..
cense that proved to have been H.

turned.
Il believe the city council will
take that matter up I'm the near fu-
ture," he said. speaking, not as
mayor. but as private citizen, I
do not hesitate TO say that my opin-
ion is that II Is only just and fair
to return the money. II was paid
for something that proved to be in
valid and worthless. don't think
the people of Mankato want to have
any money retained by the city that
does not belong To Il, and that IL a
vote should bc taken Oh the prop
osition, 80 per cent of the people
would vote In favor of returning the
money"

people wondered why he voted in
favor OF revoking the license OF
John c. Hagen and not that of
Frank j. Mettler 1T Is mere
matter of knowledge of details and
opinion said he, that determined

bault was indicted by the Rice
