INDIFFERENT VOTERS,

In NASHVILLE the people are much
aroused over the alleged outrages OF
a new traction company. 1t is charg
ed that the company, like many other
soulless corporations, is proceeding
to appropriate the streets without
any consideration for the rights OF
the public. Dissertation of the Sab.
bath even is charged.
Now if We remember correctly, the
people of Nashville, in the parlance
of the day ''fell all over themselves
to vote this company a franchise
over the streets of the city. There
was little or no OPPOSITION registered
against the granting of the franchise;
the terms offered by the company
were almost unanimously accepted.
Opposition was charged to the meta.
rious instigation of the old company
that wanted to stifle competition.
1t is always this way. The people
In voting franchises to public service
corporations remind us of the old
saying about quick action marriages.
They vote the franchise in haste and
repent at leisure. They are so anx-
lous to welcome any suggestion of a
change in conditions, of a little lower
rate or Of certain accommodations
that they do not already possess that
they quickly respond to any sugges-
ton for granting valuable privileges
to new concerns very often without
the slightest compensation. It is the
same way with new railroad. There
are lots of folks that seem to think
that all prosperity, all increase In
business or population are due to the
number of railroads possessed by the
community. They will bite at any
bait that a railroad, street railway,
. lighting company or gas company
may throw to them. The time to
safeguard the public rights is when
the franchise is granted. Street car
companies and light and water and
gas companies would not ask for
franchises If they were not valuable.
In nine cases out Of ten they would
be willing to pay something like
their value, If the people would only
assert their rights.

DEMAGOGY.

1t will not do Judge Williams any
good to raise the railroad issue In
his contest for reelection. The fact
that his opponent is also local at.
torney for a railroad company should
not affect the issue in this campaign
It is an arrant piece of demagogery
that will not change any votes. II
we are correctly informed Judge Will
Hams was once local attorney for
the same road now represented by
Judge Burrow and we have not heard
any one charge that his course on
the bench has been influenced by his
former connection with a railroad
coruoration.
If railroad lawyers are to be denied
places on the judiciary of our coun-
try we will bar some of the ablest
lawyers that we have. The railroads
are managed by hard listed and clear
headed business men and they are on
the look out for the best talent that
money will buy. Usually the rail-
roads are represented by able law
yers. 1t is all buncombe to charge
that these men are warped and pre-
JUDGED in their views upon railroad
issues. Some able lawyers are known
as damage suit lawyers. They make
their living filing suits for damages.
Now are these men to be denied a
place on the bench because they will
be SO prejudiced that they cannot do
a defendant justice?
The Herald is an ardent supporter
of Judge Williams. It is for him be-
cause he stands for the principle of
a free and independent judiciary. But
1t has no war to make on his oppon-
emit. The fact that Judge Burrow
represents a railroad should not be
an issue in this contest. We depre-
cate any appeal to prejudice or any
effort to arouse unnecessary animos-
fty. Judge Williams is going to win
this fight upon his own merits and
because Of the principle for which he
stands and not because of any short
comings of his opponent

COLUMBIA PosToFFlcE.

President Wilson's appointment or
and the senate's prompt and unanf
nous confirmation of Mrs. E. w. Car
mack for postmistress at Columbia
constitute not alone a high compli-
ment to that most excellent and de-
serving woman, but are a tribute to
the memory of her distinguished hus-
band that will be appreciated by his
devoted followers, and they are thous-
ands, all over Tennessee. That Mrs.
Carmack will efficiently and satisfac-
torily discharge the very responsible
duties of the office no one will ques-
ton, especially those in Columbia
who have known and esteemed her
for so long a period of slime. That
her administration of the duties Of
the Office will constitute no burden
upon her, and that her official life
may be smooth and untroubled is
the earnest wish of all Tennesseans
regardless of party or faction.
No man ever lived in Tennessee
who had more devoted followers than
Edward w. Carmack. His name
lives after him. His followers in life
count it a privilege to keep green his
memory and to vindicate his name.
He was patriot without selfishness;
statesman without a peer in the
bounds of the commonwealth; lead
er without fear; citizen without
reproach. He willingly poured out
his life's blood as an offering to the
cause of good government.
It is unfortunate and deeply re-
GREETED by The Herald that there
have been misunderstanding and
disagreements over the Columbia
postoffice which have severed ties
that have heretofore existed between
followers of the martyred Carmack.
Men who fought in common cause,
who sacrificed that Carmacks name
and memory might be indicated In
the county that holds his ashes, have
been estranged as the result of con-
troversy that should be cause for
genuine sorrow among all the fol-
lowers Of the immortal senator.
These matters will not be discussed
here but are simply referred to mere
ly to give voice to the regret that we
are sure is general that there should
have been any disagreement among
those who have had common pur-
pose. .
There will be no denying the fact
that while others who aspired to hold
the Columbia postofice had numer-
Gus and loyal friends, the action of
Senator Lea in persistently and con-
sistently urging the appointment Of
Mrs. Carmack, and that Of the Pres
ident in making the selection will
meet the hearty approval Of the fol-
lowers of her distinguished husband
all over Tennessee.

SOUND ADVICE.

| The man is only down and out who
admits that fact This is the conclu
sion reached by Frank Cassell, OF
Belknap Hardware Company, one OF
the most successful business men in
the South. In a recent letter to his
salesforce Mr.. Cassell has SO much of
sound philosophy and so much of op-
timism that the major portion of his
letter is deserving of reproduction.
1t follows:
Nothing is more contagious than
mental depression. Many people
fail to make good, because they are
victims of their moods, which repel
people and drive away business. Peo-
pie like and believe in us in proper
ton to our agreeableness and help
fulness. There is no place in any
sales force for the morose, gloomy,
or respondent man. A cheerful, in
telligent face is the end of culture
You know faces of this sort-a face
which is an inspiration and bene-
diction. 1.-THE Gods we worship
write their names on our faces" The
face is carved from within. 1t is the
table of the contents of our life.
mo one can become prosperous by
expecting poverty. A man will re-
main ragpicker as long as he has
only ragpicker's vision. Success is
created mentally first. Prosperity
begns in the mind-it is impossible
with hostile mental attitude. Ev-
erybody ought to stand erect with
face toward the sun of hope and pros
perity. 1t is facing the wrong way,
toward the black, depressing, hope
less outlook that kills our efforts. To
expect nothing is to get nothing. You
must face the right way, do the right
thing.
Thoughts are magnets which at
tract things like themselves. Look at
things constructively. Optimism is
business NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Is a bus
mess buster" Optimism opens the
door of ability, develops opportunity,
pushes forward. Bold, clean, clearcut
courage is the thing that saves men.
Courage and confidence are the twin
basis of all achievement There is a
tremendous power in the conviction
that we can do thing. Trust your
self,-every heart vibrates to that
ron string. Here is the idea,-HE
ONLY is DOWN AND OUT WHO
ADMITS 1T.
Man is not intended to be a pup
pet of circumstances, slave to en-
vironment. He is intended to MAKE
his environment, to CREATE his
condition. 1t is the positive man
wso carried force, the world makes
way for robust character It radiates
power. It's presence commands

son for following strong character.

METHODIST UNIVERSITY.

The Methodist Episcopal church.
South, deserves hearty congratula
tons upon the most suspicious start
that has been made toward the estab.
! lishment and endowment of a great
Methodist university made necessary
| by the adverse decision of the SUI
preme court Of Tennessee in the
Vanderbilt case. The university
will begin with an endowment of
practically $2,5OO,0O0. This should
be doubled. There are 100000 mem
bers of the Methodist church, South,
and they can easily give ore dollar
each to this fund. They, will not
hesitate to meet the appeal.
That this great evangelical church
should have splendid university
primarily for the education of its
ministry but for the Christian edu-
cation of all the youth of the church
who desire it, goes without saying
And such an institution should be
absolutely under the control and
direction of the church. There
should be no question about its au-
thority in the premises. 1t should
be founded upon the eternal truths
of the Christian religion and but
tressed about by the faith that was
delivered unto the saints.
The Southern Methodist church is
great enough and strong enough to
own and control it's institution of
higher learning. This movement
shows that while the church was dis
appointed over the decision in the
Vanderbilt case, it is not cast down,
it still has the faith that abideth for
ever. 1t is not yet ready to make
any compromise with those who be-
lieve or pretend to believe, that
Christian education does not make
for the advancement of civilization
and the uplift of humanity.
We would earnestly deprecate any
further controversy with Vanderbilt
University. Our attitude toward
that institution is like unto that of
Horace Greedy, when he said, after
the election of Lincoln and the
threatened secession of the cotton
states, "let our erring sisters go in
peace"
We have had enough of this con-
troversy The church has nothing
to gain by further agitation. Van
derbilt is great institution of learn
ing, one Of the greatest in the coun-
try and will in the future perform
splendid mission. The church has
finally been denied any control or
authority in it's affairs and should
necessarily cease any connection
with it, but there should be nothing
dozen that will be dictated by any
motive other than desire to serve
the cause of Christ and promote his
kingdom here on earth
1t is sincerely to be hoped that in
the establishment of the new school
in Atlanta the rights of the church
and the title of the property will be
properly safeguarded. 1t is unfor-
tunate that the laws of Tennessee
do not properly safeguard and guar
antee religious denominations in the
ownership and control of their pro-
perty.

c. A. Barrett was a servile member.
The contention was made by Swamp
Lend" Thompson, the machine leader,
that the provisions OF the corrupt
practice law regarding the recounting
OF votes by the circuit court was un.
constitutional and that the senate had
exclusive say In the matter. That be-
ing the case he wanted the republican
seated whether he had the right
number OF votes or not. Accordingly
Kiddle was seated and Mr.. Hodgin
who had overcome the heavy repub-
lican majority In the Union -Wallowa
district and had been honestly elected
TO the senate was steam rollered"
in cold blood. c. A. Barrett who had
been elected largely by democratic
votes was one OF the gang that did
the work.

from this district a political shyster

return Barrett to the senate; those

ator should vote for ]. y. Scott.

On The Ballot. longed for a man in
the state house with
first hand knowledge OF this section
Of its needs and possibilities. This
state has never had an eastern Ore
gon governor.
There is now chance. For weeks
past the candidacy of DR.. Smith has
been growing stronger and stronger
until his election Is all but assured.
His campaign manager declares that
without doubt he will carry Portland
and that his election is a certainty *
he can but hold his own in the re-
mainder Of the state.
That announcement should fire the
people Of Old Umatilla county to do
their utmost for DR.. Smith. AS in the
primary election much is going to de-
pend upon how this county votes.
The heavy vote cast for Smith in this
county was a powerful factor in max
ing him the democratic nominee. A
landslide vote from this county next
Tuesday will help nightly in turning
the tide of battle in his favor 1t is
more than probable it will be the de-
cisive element in the election.
Let us unite in one grand move to
place a Umatilla county man at last
in the gubernatorial chair. This
county is entitled TO that distinction;
this is the banner farming county of
the state; it is the second wealthiest
county in oregon and one OF the
strongest from a population stand
point Why not demand recognition?
DR.. Smiths candidacy places Una
tilla county upon the ticket for he is
known chiefly as a Umatilla county
man. II is here he spent most Of his
life. 1t is here all his property inter-
ests are located; it is here he made
the record that gave him the nomina-
ton for governor. II this county is
ever to have a man in the governors
chair now is the time. Every con-
sideration OF local interest and local
pride calls for his election and the oc-
casion is such partisanship may well !
be laid aside for the moment

notice.
