The effects Of hootworm disease tor unciuariasisi can scarcely be conceiy- ed in sinele thought when applied 10 the nation. or even to Arkansas. There are from five to ten thousand cases in the state at any given time that are incapacitated for work of any kind.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

Replying to recent editorial in
The Herald on the election law of
1913, the Jackson Jacksonian, among
other things, says:
We'll, this is one thing that would
happen (under the new law. The
democratic party would get two of the
three judges and one of the clerks at
each precinct, and the republican par
ty would get the remainder"
Now this statement is wholly un-
warranted by the facts. The last leg
islature elected three new members
of the state board of elections, not
one of whom is republican So far
as we have been able to ascertain
not a republican has been appointed

SENATOR LEA.

It is not often that Senator Lea
becomes engaged in a controversy,
but he is capable of taking care of
himself at all times. Probably there
has not been any man in public af-
fairs in the state more misrepre-
scented by political opponents than
Senator Lea. Several times it has
been confidently claimed by his
enemies that he had been politically
destroyed. Then he comes up smil-
ing and always with a firmer grasp
on affairs. Like every man who
does things, he has made plenty of
mistakes, but his mistakes are few
in number compared with his real
accomplishments for good govern
ment in Tennessee. He was one of
the pioneers in the fight for the tenn
perance laws and the honest election
system and has had tremendous in
fluence in electing two legislatures
which have protected these laws.
Few men of his years have occomp-
lished as much as Hon. Luke Lea,
and we trust the time will come when
he can devote his whole attention to
affairs at the national capital without
being constantly threatened with at
tacks here at home.-Chattanoo

tennessee papers allowed candidates
and politicians to ride them to death.
But that time has about passed. The
editors are wiser than they were in
days long gone. They are attending
more to the business of making a liv-
ing and giving less attention to pro-
noting the political fortunes of some
ambitious adventurer. They have dis
covered that this thing of running for
office is after all, with the vast major
ity of candidates, a business. And
the editors are treating it as such,
They have always charged the mer-
chants and the manufacturers and the
hnanclers for the advertising space
that they used, then why not charge
the office seekers for advertisingq
Although the great majority who
aspire to Office will unblushinglv de.
clare that they are moved entirely bv
a patriotic and unselfish desire to
serve the dear people in Office. every
editor who has sense enough to keep
from falling off the tripod, knows
that they are after either the honors.
the powers or the emoluments of the
place that they seek Some men de-
sire office for the power that it will
give them: others seek place because
they love honors: but the majority
are doubtless after the coin that nc.
companies the office. Very, very few
men are conscripted and made to ac.
cept office When they take a notion
to go after one they should make up
their minds that they must pay for
their advertising The editor who
does not make them do SO has a
mighty pew eye for business.

EDITORS AND POLITICIANS.

Editors in the fifth congressional
district are exercised over the refusal
of Congressman Houston to pay any
attention whatever to their recon-
mendations in the matter of appoint
ments. They got just about what the
editors usually get in these matters.
The politicians are mighty glad TO
have the help of the papers during
and before elections. but after they
get safely across the Rubicon, that is
on the pay roll, they care precious lit
tie about what the papers desire.
Houston is not an exception.
There was a time when editors of

LEA AND PROHIBITION.
avs the Jackson Jacksonian:

Says the Jackson Jacksonian:
"The Columbia Herald insists that
any attempt to make anybody believe
Senator Luke Lea has not been con.
sistent friend of prohibition is with
out excuse. The Herald cannot deny
that Mr.. Lea, four years ago, when
he discovered that the regulars had
captured the state senate and were
claiming the house, offered to Major
W. o. Vertrees and other regular lead
ers that if they would agree to d.
vision of the officers of the two houses
and certain other positions to be Gre
ated, the Independents would agree
to a repeal of the prohibition law, in
solar as it affected the three or four
large cities Of the state. Isn't that
a matter Of record, Brother Finney?
Major vertrees and Senator Nat Bax-
ter signed a statement to that ef-
feet, anyway, and Senator Lea never
denied it. It's as impossible for The
Herald to make prohibition hero
out of Senator Lea as it is for the
Banner to make the same sort of
hero out of the Major"

FILLING THE LAND.

Surprise has been expressed ovel
the statement from the department
of agriculture that only about one
third the admittedly tillable land
of the United States is under cult
walton. Immediately a large number
OF volunteer solvers of the cost of
living problem have rushed to the
front with the suggestion that if a
larger proportion of the admittedly
tillable lands of the country were
under the plows there would be a
tremendous increase in our food pro-
duets and prices would at once come
tumbling down, ~ ~ re
It Is not so much that we need in
this country larger acreage under
the pillow, but we need better farming
on the lands that are already being
titled. The best farmers of the coun.
try, especially of this section, keep a
very large proportion of their holdings
free from the plow. Instead of urg-
ing that larger acreage should be
titled, more attention should be
given to the intelligent cultivation Of
the acreage already broken to the
pillow. There are sections Of Maury
county now in cultivation that should
be in grass. Many farmers, with the
meagre supply of Indifferent labor at
hand, make the mistake of trying to
till too much land. They too often
become miners Of the soil. They do
not conserve it's resources. How
much better it would be for the land
and for the future of the country Ii
they titled we'll and intelligently a
smaller acreage and carried more
lands for pasture.
Until there is more and better
labor In the country, until the drift
OF labor to the centers of population
is ended, the cry should be better cul-
tivation of the lands now titled and
not more lands under the pillow.
The larger the acreage kept in pas
ture the more quickly we are likely
to solve the question of furnishing
meat for the country.

to the progressive party. He neither
voted for Taft nor Hooper. He sup
ported the regular" legislative tick
ct.
This is a fair sample of what has
been done all over the state. In the
election of Alexander, the so-called
lminosity" member of the state
board, the provisions of the law were
deliberately ignored. The law defines
the minority party in the state as
the party that in the preceding presi-
Dental election polled the second
highest number of votes. That was
the republican party. Alexander was
a supporter of Roosevelt and preba-
bly, voted for McMillin. He does not
claim to have voted for Hooper, the
unquestioned nominee of the republi-
can party before the split came.
The main object and purpose of the
new election law was to deprive the
republicans of any representation
whatever at the polls. 1t was also
designed to deprive the majority of
the people of Tennessee, the MAORI
ty which in 1910 and 1912 elected
Hooper upon prohibition and law
enforcement platform, of any voice
whatever in the election machinery
And if this nefarious law should be
sustained by the court of last resort,
every election officer in Tennessee in
the contests of this year, will be the
loyal and devoted supporters of the
liquor power. In a favorable deci
sion upon the legality of the election
law lies the only and the sole hope
Of the liquor interests in Tennessee.
If the new law is declared unconsti- |
tutional and the people of Tennessee
are assured of fair elections and hon
EST counts the liquor issue will be
settled and peace will be our portion.
But if there should be a contrary re-
suit we tremble for the future.

FIGHTING PEACE,

we had thought and hoped that
when our prohibition laws were safe
ly written upon the statute books and
were being enforced as well as the
other misdemeanor statutes, when an
unquestioned majority of the people
accepted them as the policy of the
state; when regular" judges were
Joining with independent" judges to
obtain their enforcement; when even
IN Nashville and Chattanooga a gen
ulne drouth prevailed; that when all
these things came to pass in Tennes-
see we should have peace. But we
must sorrowfully confess that we have
been disappointed. So far as we can
observe with the naked eye there is
very little peace among the newspa-
pers OF the state. Former friends are
at war; personal journalism; the use
OF shorter and uglier word; charges
and counter charges; the opening of
old sores; the bringing to light of old
sKeletons-these are some of the things
that nave answered our dream of
peace in Tennessee. 1t very much
reminds us of what recently happen

me Christian nations joined together
and cleaned up the unspeakable Turk.
But they were not satisfied, they then
turned ON each other and the war was
bloodier and more costly than ever.

A CREED FOR COLUMBIA.

A certain city in Ohio has adopted
the following as it's creed, and after
careful reading of the same it seems
that it would be a mighty good creed
for Columbia, with the last paragraph
added by The Herald:
"We believe in Columbia, in it's his
toric past, its fortunate present, its
significant future, and the homes and
churches and schools which are Its
title to endure.
I'VE believe in neighborliness, in
the tongue that commends, in the ear
that it deaf to SANDER and in the
hand that helps.
I'VE believe in the square deal in
all business, big and little, and pledge
ourselves to make and keep 1t a fact
of Columbia.
We believe in the mines and mills
OF this town, in the men whose toll
has builded them and in the men
whose energies direct them.
we believe in paved streets and
tagged sidewalks and to useful mag
nificence of roads and bridges.
I'VE believe that the groves were
Gods first temples and that shade
trees are mans best friends.
I'VE believe in back-lots whose SER
ried array of corn and potatoes and
beans shall put even the ordered
charm of front lawns to shame.
I'VE believe in the street sweeper,
the weed-scythe and the paint pot
the modern TRINITY of municipal
comeliness.
I'VE believe in the Town Beautiful
In any community's best permanent
asset-the dover that incurs no envy
and that no vicissitude can take away.
: I'VE believe in the farmer, the
farm woman and the farm boy. We
want them to feel welcome above all
others who come to Columbia"
1--WE believe in Columbia's mer-
chants, in their business ability their
integrity and their qualifications to
cope with the manufacturers of the
world and to give to their customers
the very best goods possible for the
price paid and we believe further and
insist that it is the duty
Of every man, woman and child in this
county and town to patronize these
merchants and give them the encour-
agement that they deserve"

LES MAJESTE.

The Nashville Banner is moved to
declare that an attack on Superin-
tendent Hamilton of the Anti-Saloon
League, is an attack on the league
itself. This is a new and strange
doctrine. The league is great or
ganization, made up of a large num-
Der of people who are more interest
ed in the cause of prohibition than
they are in the personnel of the Off
Gals of the league.
To say that an attack on or criti-
cism of Hamilton is an attack on the
league would be tantamount to say
ing that criticism of the governor is
an attack ON the state of Tennes-
see; or that attacks on the policies
of the president would be treason to
the government. That would be a
narrow and intolerant idea that
would have no place in a government
of the people. Mr.. Hamilton might
think that he was the ant1-Saloon lea
que but that would not make the fact
true, any more than it would be true
that Gov. Hooper was the state, if he
should be foolish enough to try to
initiate lie grande monarch, who de-
clared that 81 am the state" The
Herald has sometimes thought that
the Anti-Saloon League spent too
much money for official salaries and
had too many superintendents and
assistant superintendent and
others on the pay roll, but it is a
noble organization and has done
splendid work. However, The Her
aid reserves the right to criticise any
conduct of any of it's officials, If they
should merit it.
