Lea vs.. Stahlman.


Banner have been engaged in
long drawn out discussion, which
several days ago had reached the
deliberate falsehoodn stage.
The Banner contends that the
question of prohibition is not
settled 10 the State and main
tains that the fusion forces,
through the strength Of which
the amendment to the four,mile
law was enacted in 1909, ought
not to disband. Ia other words
the Banner does not yet regard
the battle for prohibition as fully
won and, as precaution against
open enemies aud traitorous
friends, advises the voters Of all
parties, who favor prohibition,
to keep on their fighting clothes,
under the fusion banner, which
has beencarried to victory by
Governor Hooper in two guber-
material campaigns.
The Tennessean and Amerl-
can, Senator Luke LEAFS paper,
makes the assertion that prohi-
bition has won for keeps, that
all party platforms will declare
for it the next time and that in
dependent Democrats, having
won their contention as fusion
lists, have now nothing in the
way of their return to the party
fold-that the Democratic party
|of Tennessee now admits the
prohibition victory and that the
next State Democratic platform
will declare unequivocally fol-
the maintenance and enforce
ment of the prohibition laws.
The Tennessean and American
makes itself clearly understood
in the fact that it stands for the
prohibition laws remaining on
the statutes, as we'll as for their
enforcement, nor does task the
independent Democrats to fall
into party line" except under
the prohibition fag-and that
flag carried by a man who can
be trusted. While the Tennes.
sean and American, in the cam
paign of 1912, declared in one is
sue, its support of Benton Nc
Millin and during the sitting of
the Legislature of 1918 Senator
Lea stuck to his agreement with
Orump, even after the Memphis
boss had thrown everything to
the winds, that paper has con-
sistently and persistently stood
for the enactment, the mainte
nance and the enforcement OF
the anti whisky laws. In the
first days of Patterson, as Cover,
nor Of Tennessee, Luke Lea was
his friend and only quit him
when he refused the people q
primary election-as he told him
he would do. In 1909, nobody
worked harder for the passage OF
the statewide laws than did
Luke Lea. During the Legisla.
ture of 1911 he worked as hard
and as openly to retain those
laws and his bargain with
Crump, in 1918, was made only
for the walton of these
laws, the election law. the de-
feat of Patterson for the United
States Senate, Dibbrell for
Comptroller-and in addition,
the election of independent
Democrats to the Offices Of State
Treasurer and Secretary of State.
Luke Lea refused too many ov-
ertures in behalf Of local option,
by the acceptance Of which he
could have saved much money
and hard work, for US to believe
for a moment that he is not at
heart true friend to the cause
of prohibition in Tennessee. We
may differ from him, we may
question his judgment, BUT
WE BELIEVE In THE MAN.
We are perfectly willing to
vote for a good prohibition Dem

A Good Platform.

Let's see what Chairman j. ID.
G. Morton advises in his letter
to the county chairman and t.
members of the state committee
Summarized briefly it may be
included in the following heads
No dependence on the pur
chase of loyalty with patronage
or party honors.
No alliance with special OF
lawless interests.
No yielding of control to mu
nicipal bosses who base their
power on countenancing lawless'
ness.
No contribution received from
any designing or corrupt source
No surrender of the party t.
any combination of political ma
nipulators.
1t is good platform and al
the same time is an admission Of
much that has been said. 1t il
hoped that Chairman Morton
will be more effective for it now
than in the past. 1t is to bt
hoped that he will more consist
emily hold to his worthy purpos
es.

Apple Growers Not Worrying.

l, Apple Growers Not Worrying. With an apple crop surpassing that of any previous year, Ben ton and Washington, as we'll as Iadjoining counties, are this year
 worrying little about the Euro lpean war, yet they are losing
 money every day because of rul- ings by the Department of Ag- riculture, which seems to be out |of reason.
 There is always a large per
 centage of the crop that falls from the trees, and which will not be accepted for shipment. There are several grades of these refuse apples. The cheap est sells for 15 and 20 cents per hundred pounds, and is used for vinegar tock. The. next grade sells for 25 and 30 cents per hundred and is used for pre-
 serving, for brandy and for
 evaporation. A recent ruling of
 the government has about stop ped the sale of the cheaper
 grade, because nothing can be worked into vinegar or brandy that is not 75 per cent sound when delivered at the vats.
 It is pointed out by the chem ists at the vinegar factories that an apple winch is ground up and permitted to ferment in the vats before it can be made into bran dy goes through the same pro- cess of decomposition that an apple does when rotting in the field, is as clean and wholesome as one which has been ground up and permitted to go through the same process in vat. The ruling will cause the orchardists to lose much money this year.

EUROPEAN ARISTS

How Continental Performers
 Are Engaged by this Popu- lar American Institution.

When the average American
 is seeking place near the stove in winter, the agents of the big tented shows are working in- dustriously engaging acts for the season, which comes with spring. This part of the amuse- ment world is one with which the public is not familiar. A lit tie look into that cranny proves interesting.
 November marks the close of the season for tented attrac- tions like Gentry Brothers Fa- nous Shows, which will visit this city next Friday, September 11th. When the last wheel of the trains stop at winter quar- ters the organization of the show for the succeeding season begins.
 Trainers get busy framing new features. A snowman, whose judgment has been dem onstrated, at once goes to Flu rope. He makes a careful can- vass of the music halls and vau- deville theatres. For months he lis acquainting himself with the novelties that are delighting au- diences on the other side.

BUSINESS SECURITY. Stagnation In All Countries, Not 1nsuring This Security.

One of the most important questions of the day relates to the extent to which a govern ment should interfere in the af- fairs of business. The success full man has always had to run the risk of attack. a Safety from unreasonable ss interference by government or attack by others leads the ambitious man on to his greatest exertions. { Tn some countries, as in parts of Asia, government rapacity has made it dangerous for man to ac- quire anything beyond his bare necessities. t In such society, nothing but poverty and busi- ness Stagnation can exist.
 Governmental intervention in the affairs of business should extend only over such things as are necessary for fair publicity and truthful statements. Under such a government, business se- curity is at it's best.s Individual ity and initiative are encour- aged; the country is progressive, and it's future prosperity is we'll guarded. But as soon as legis- lation begins to deprive the pro- ducer of a square deal, or where business is "regu1ated' by peo- pie without the experience and necessary training, business se- curity will be transformed into business depression. A govern ment should be limited to its natural functions of just and reasonable legislation for the greatest good of the greatest number of people. and should never show favors in order to catch votes" or to secure cam paign contributions.

 Births Double Death Rate. Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 7.-Accord- ing to the incomplete statistics from about nine-tenths of the registration districts in Arkan- sas, the Bureau of Vital Statis- tics estimates that the birth rate is about sixty per cent greater than the death rate in Arkansas. As reported, there were 1O,849 births in the state for the months of April, May, June and July, and there were only 6,O29 deaths during the same period. Some of the coun- ties, however, are very lax in their reports, only small per cent of the districts having made any report at all. Until all report, the statistics can be of only small value. There are fourteen districts in Jackson county, and of these twelve are reported, returning PIP births, and no deaths. The Bureau is making every effort to induce all the registrars to report so that the statistics may be con- plete.
