LUKE LEAFS RECORD.

If Luke Lea had been false to the
temperance cause, II he had not been
| it's earnest and consistent advocate,
Sawney Webb, the veteran, John A.
Pitts, long a devoted champion, and
like men all over the state, would not
be his cordial supporters. Go to any
county in Tennessee and go into the
ranks of the consistent veterans of
the prohibition fight and one will find
supporters of Senator Lea This is
pretty good indication of the charac-
ter of man that Lea has been. His
newspaper was the first in Tennessee
to advocate state wide prohibition,
among all of the great city dailies.
Senator LEAFS paper supported the
lamented Carmack on prohibition
platform in 1908, it urged the legisla-
ture of 1909 to pass the prohibition
and election laws; it stood for the
same cause in 1910 and aided in 1912
in the election of a reform legisla-
ture. 1t led the fight for the reforma-
ton and rehabilitation of the demo-
cratic party insisting that the domi-
nant party of Tennessee should be
committed to the reforms already
achieved. 1t succeeded although bit
terly denounced as the organ of the
liquor interests. Its course in the last
campaign has been approved, howev-
er, by no less a consecrated authori-
ty than the Tennessee Methodist con-
ference that for twenty years has coz
sistently denounced the liquor traffic.
When that conference few days ago
rejoiced that all parties in Tennes-
see were committed to prohibition, it
gave an implied endorsement to the
fight that Senator Lea and his paper
made last year.
Now If the prohibitionists want to
reward candidate who stood for
them when they needed help; who
made their fight when it took cour-
age aud required sacrifice to make It,
they assuredly cannot forsake Lea
to vote for either Patterson or Nc
Kellar. Neither of the latter have
any claim upon the prohibitienists Of
the state. Neither ever made a real
sacrifice for the cause. On the con.
trary Lea is one Of the pioneers.
These are facts that are sustained by
the record and testified to BY veter.
ans like Sawney Webb and John A.
Pitts.

HOLDING REVEALS.

louisville ministers and some lay
men have recently INDUCED in quite q
lively discussion regarding the mer
its of reyivals conducted by Billy Sun
day. A motion by preacher at
recent meeting of the committee IN
charge of the proposed revival, to
close all negotiations with Sunday
failed, but not before two or three
present had expressed rather unfavor'
able opinions of the results achieved
ut Sunday meetings.
Good men have been divided on this
question. There has always been
room for argument touching the pro-
priety of Sunday methods in the pull
pit. 1t is probably true that sensa.
tionalism and buffoonery in the pulpit
are distinctly Objectionable to many
pious men and women. But it is
equally certain that judged by results
Sundays meetings are to be approx
cd. Unquestionably many sinners
have been reached upon whom milder
and more orderly and dignifed ap-
peals failed. We best judge most any
method by the results achieved and
by that test Sundays meetings are
entitled to our approval.
The Herald would prefer some diff
ferent way for the conversion of the
world. 1t does not like some Of the
antics that Sunday cuts, but IL they
win men to Christ, If they make for
better and cleaner living, II they do
real good in the world, and Of this
We have not the slightest doubt, they
are not to be condemned God moves
In a mysterious way his wonders to
Derform. Sunday has been the in
Sfrument through which thousands
nave been brought to a realization of
their sins and a determination to live
new and better lives. Every city
where he has preached has been ben
Suited and uplifted, regardless Of any
shock that some of our finer sensibil-
tiles may occasionally sustain, we
must exclaim more power to him.

LUMRiA MAN WITH BREACH

BELLEVILLE, ILL.,, Oct. 27.-G. w.
Maxwell, a horse and mule dealer,
filed suit for $4,000 in the circuit
court here today against ]. w. How.
ard, of Columbia, Tenn, charging
breach of contract, growing out of
the purchase of horses for the use of
French and British armies. 1t is al
legged that Howard sublet to Maxwell
his contracts for buying $4,000 horses
for the British and 10000 for the
French and later made similar sub
contracts with other dealers. It is
said he offered to Maxwell a commits
sion on the horses bought by these
and other dealers, but Maxwell claims
that it was not as much as he would
have received had he been permitted
to buy according to his contract with
Howard.

A PROPER DECISION.

Waving any technical objections
that could not materially effect the
result the commissioners OF election
very properly decided to place the
names of both candidates upon the
ballots for justice of the peace in the
fifth district Substantial justice
the end and aim Of all law, has been
achieved in this decision. 1t might
be that some musty presidents were
rudely pushed aside or that some vio-
lence was done the opinion of some
lawyer who fails to see the funda-
mentals OF the law in his anxiety to
master it's wierd technicalities, but
the decision OF the commission will
appeal to all fair minded individuals
as sound and sensible. The Aus
tralian ballot law aims to secure a
fair and accurate judgment of the
majority of the electorate and that
purpose would not have been achiev-
ed by any decision other than that
reached by the commission. 1t is
the best ballot law ever yet devised
for the registration of the popular
will and IL would have been unfor-
tunate had any OF its very proper
provisions been given such hard
and rigid Interpretation that senti-
ment might have been created
against the principle Of the law.

BURKE NAMED
FORMER CONGRESSMAN sue
CEEDS LATE THOS.
THORSON.

Pierre, Sept. 14.-Former Con-
gresham Charles H. Burke of Pierre
has been selected by Chairman Hilles
of the republican national committee
to fill the position Of national COM
mitteeman from South Dakota, sup
plying the vacancy caused by the
death of Thomas Thorson.
The selection of Burke has been
indicated since a conference was held
at Aberdeen in which Secretary Rey-
holds of the national committee met
with Former Congressman Burke,
State Chairman Jack Lockhart and
Congressman Royal G. Johnson. IL
is claimed the plan was made. at that
time to name Burke and that Chair
man Lockhart and Congressman
Johnson assured Secretary Reynolds
such action would promote republi-
can harmony In South Dakota.
While the selection OF Mr.. Burke
as national committeeman will be ac-
cepted with good grace by most OF
the republican politicians, 1t will be
offensive to many of the sincere pro
gressives in the ranks. who will view
the action as an absolute surrender
to the old standpat crowd. Mr.
Burke was the republican candidate
for United States senator in the las1
election and was decisively defeated
although all of the progressive re.
publican candidates were elected.

BATTLE With BULL

which was put TO rout only after hav-
ing been repeatedly charged by the
running of an automobile at full
speed in a broadside attack.
The episode was one of the most
thrilling of its kind eyer heard of In
South Dakota. Deliver was attacked

swung around and attacked him.
The brute tossed him in the air, and
when Deliver dropped to the ground,
il trampled him with its front feet
about the middle of the body, crush
ing the pelvic bones and trampllng
him almost to a pulp.
While lying helpless on the ground
Deliver managed to get out his pocket
knife, and with this he attempted TO
destroy the eyes of the bull. He
failed, but did slash the amman
across the neck and head with the
blade of the knife. This. however
apparently had no effect on the en-

PEG0UD WAS FIRST AVIATOR
TO LOOP THE LOOP IN AIR.
Frenchmsn Gained Daredevil Record
Since the War Began.

Alphonse Pegoud. reported killed,
probably held more records for freak
aeronautics than any other man. He
had frequently been mentioned since
the war began for his daring work in
the air. Last March he was awarded
the value of his work.
Pegoud was generally spoken of as
the original upside down fiier. He had
planned to come to this country to give
exhibition flights in the summer OF
1914, before the war began. but was
d~issuaded.
Only a few days ago Pegoud return
ed to the French lines after a flight of
1856 miles in German territory with
ninety-seven bullet holes In the wings
Of his machine.
Almost endless stories are told of the
daring feats performed by Pegoud. Al
one time he caught sight OF a German
ammunition depot and dropped nine
bombs on 1t. The air conclusion was
so great from the explosion OF the
ammunition that his machine was ali
but wrecked. and he regained his equi-
librium only after performing more
than exhibition a~crobatics. AT anoth'
er time. having located a captive Ger
man balloon. he assembled to "a great
height behind the clouds and hen lit
orally fell out OF the sky toward his
target. At a distance or only fifty
yards he dropped a bomb. which struck
the balloon squarely. The vibration
waves caused his %aeroplane to bounce
about as a toy boat on a rough pond
But Pegoud still carried his good luck
and. managing to steady the craft
sailed away amid a hail of German
bullets.

to the naval wireless station at Key
West, Fla. Then the wireless sparks
begin to jump, and out over the gulf,
the Caribbean and the south Atlantic
flashes the news from home"
Captain w. III. q. Billiard, superin-
tendent of the naval radio service, Is
the man who conceived the idea, and
through his suggestion Secretary Dan
iels obtained the cooperation of the
news agency and the telegraph compa-
ny. Only officers and sailors who are
thousands of miles from home, In
strange waters by strange shores, can
fully appreciate the value of a service
Of this kind.
The men are more interested In the
baseball scores OF the National and
American leagues than in any other
point of the days news. The latest
boiler explosion west of Pittsburgh,
however, gets their avid interest.
The naval radio service looks upon
the idea as a great development Of its
resources. For several years the serv-
ice has been sending out the official
Washington time through the Airing
ton (Va) station and the radio station
at Darien, in the canal zone. This
time fash has been sent broadcast over
the continental United States, neigh
borhood waters and distant American
dependencies.
Not long ago some 800 jewelers. In
formed Secretary Daniels that they
had equipped themselves with radio
apparatus just to catch this twice daily
time fash from Washington. Time
signals are said to be of immense ben
eft to vessels on the high seas, which
now possess for the first time an ac-
curate means of checking their chro-
nometers, which is Of the greatest help
In fixing longitude.
As soon as the new wireless section
In the Philippines is completed 1t is be,
lieved that an interchange OF messages
between the Philippines and the Unit
ed States can be made In thirty min.
utes.
The news bulletin service Is regarded
as of still greater Importance as an
advance In the naval radio service. II
contrasts strongly. old officers say
with the methods Of only thirty years
ago, when naval vessels on distant
duty never got news from home except
when the relief vessel arrived and
they received orders to go home and
freshen up on events.
