TIE BOWERS BILL.

1t is possible, even probable that
the average Tennessee Legislature
and especially that now in session
could be induced to enact most any
sort of law that might be suggest
ed if a sufficient lobby were main
tanned and persistent enough efforts
were made to have it passed, The
passage of the Bowers bill to abolish
capital punishment for the heinous
crime of murder in the first degree
proves the correctness of this state
ment.
There is absolutely no public
demand in Tennessee for the aboli-
ton of the death penalty for murder
ers. Very few newspapers have urg-
ed this measure. No political party
platform has ever declared for it; no
petitions have been circulated and
signed numerously in its behalf. 1t
was sponsored almost entirely by a
millionaire grocer of Memphis who
seeks little transitory fame and is
willing to pay the cost. For two leg
islatures now this man has persist
emily lobbied and urged this measure
He has circulated vast amount of
literature and has personally insisted
upon favorable action.
The real title of the act should be
"A bill to encourage mob law in Ten
nessee," for that will be the result.
Heretofore many mobs have been
quelled, the mob spirit defeated by
an appeal to permit the laws verdict
to be carried into execution. But
with the death penalty abolished how
many negroes who assassinate in cold
blood white men in Tennessee, for
example, will be saved from mob VIC
lence once they are caught
In their zeal to do a millionaire
grocer personal favor the members
of the Tennessee legislature have for
gotten their obligation to organized
society; they have played with fire
and the state must fight the flames
of mob law and anarchy. This is a
distinct retrograde movement Evil
IDENTIFY majority of this legislature
believe that liquor selling is the only
crime in the calendar that really de-
serves anything like punishment ad- |
equate to the offense. The Herald is !
glad to chronicle the fact that Sen
ator Church, of this county, voted |
against the Bowers bill, rejecting the
wishes of an overwhelming majority
of his constituents.

THE ANTI-PASS LAW.

There is probably more hypocricy
and cheap demagogy INDUCED in upon
the question OF forbidding the issu.
Ance Of free passes than there is
about any other issue before the Ten.
Aessee legislature. Members of the
legislature two years ago requested
and received numbers of free passes
and then, when the bill came up for
. hearing waxed most indignant, got
red in the face and hot under the col
Oar in bitter denunciation of the free
pass infamy.' There are newspapers
IN Tennessee, some OF them not very
far from the capital of the state, that
for the past four or five years have
anVeighed bitterly and continuously
against the domination of public
opinion by the issuance of free passes
which during a part if not all of that
time have been benefciaries of free
transportation. 1t is the same way
with many of the political leaders.
There is upon this issue nothing to
be gained by impassioned discussion
or bitter denunciation. The railroads
are no more to blame for the abuses
Of the free pass system than are the
beneticiaries of passes. The legisla-
tors, state officials, political leaders
and newspapers of Tennessee, must
In all good conscience, share with the
railroads whatever blame and obliquy
attaches to the issuance and accept
ance Of free transportation. AS we
AAve remarked before, knowing the
average Tennessee Legislature as we
have known it for nearly a score of
years, there has not been a time, had
ne been responsible for the manage
nent Of railroad. that we would not
Aaye met the demands that members

of those bodies made upon US. The
legislatures have all too often "held
up" railroads. 1t is not one bit less
a sin against sound public policy ia
accept pass than it is to give one
If this is an occasion for hysteria the
legislators now and in the past can
not escape their share in making il
such.
The Herald believes that the pend
ing act, to forbid the issuance of free
transportation in Tennessee, which is
duplicate of the interstate act
should be passed This journal be
lieves that sound public policy die
tates such a measure. The enact
ment of this law would prevent hold
ups" of railroads, just as it would
prevent the railroad from exercising
an undue influence upon legislation,
Many of the ablest and best railroad
attorneys and officials agree with us
in this view They have long appre-
ciated the soundness of this position.
No public service corporation should
extend special faVors to officials. The
reverse of this is equally true, no of
fetal, owing allegiance alone to all
the people, should accept favors from
any public service corporation that
are not extended equally to all the
people.
However, The Herald would not be
misunderstood 1t never sails under
false colors. 1t does not advocate
one thing and practice another. 1t
tries to harmonic it's conduct and it's
opinions. This journal does now and
has for years accepted transportation
from the railroads of Tennessee. In
justice to the railroads it must be
stated that during all Of this period

the slightest intimation of any desire
upon the part of the railroads to in
fluence its course upon any question
even remotely touching the politics
of the state. The only requests ever
made of The Herald by the railroads
under it's present management have
been to publish announcements of
farmers meetings or live stock sales,
perfectly legitimate news matter.
These statements are made in the
OF candor. They do not alter
our convictions that free railroad
transportation in Tennessee should |
end. Express companies, telegraph
and telephone companies |
should also be inhibited from extend |
Ing special privileges or favors to any
one. This demand is based upon
sound policy.

CLEANING UP A TOWN.

S@-NlN''NS Vt WV
In his vigorous prosecution anC
conviction of the bOOtleggers o.
Franklin and Williamson county, the
United States district attorney, Hon
Lee Douglas, is entitled to the high
est praise For several years it has
been matter of common talk that
liquor was almost openly and brazen
ly sold in the little town of Franklin
The local authorities either could
not or would not stop the persistent
and notorious violations of the liquor
laws
Good citizens of the community, in
utter despair of receiving and as
sistance from the local authorities f.
nally laid the matter before Mr..
Douglas. He gave a most sympathet-
ic ear to their representations and
at once began a thorough investiga-
tion. More than 100 witnesses from
every walk of life were summoned
before the federal grand jury at
Nashville.
The proceedings created profound
sensation in Franklin and Williamson
county and at once powerful political
influences were put in motion to stop
the investigation. Every possible i'm
pediment was thrown in the way of
the capable and conscientious young
district attorney. However, he was
guided alone by sense of duty and
refused to yield to the opportunities
Of interested parties who sought to
cover up things. In the face of great
odds he vigorously and successfully
pressed the cases to a successful con-
ciusion. AS the result there are just
about an even dozen Franklin boot.
ieggers now languishing in Jail under
sentences of three months to five
months.
District Attorney Douglas is the
type of official, who, unfortunately is
altogether too scarce in a democracy
The state and county need more men
In office like Mr. Douglas, men with
ability, with courage, with force and
with determination to do their whole
duty regardless of the consequences.
His example in this prosecution is
worthy of the very highest emulation.
The lawless liquor sellers OF Frank
lin will have more respect for the
law of the United States than they
have ever had, however justifiable
their contempt of state and local au-
thority may be. 1t is to be hoped that
Mr.. Douglas will continue the policy
which he has outlined in the Frank |
lin cases and will clean up" every /
locality in Middle Tennessee where
the state and county officials are eth
or TOO coWardly, TOO Negligent or too
sympathetic with the liquor interests
to do their whole duty.
1t is but just to state that in his
campaign against the lawless liquor
dealers of Franklin Mr.. Douglas had
the most active and energetic and
capable support Of Col Jonas T.
Amis, the United States marshal.
Col Amis was diligent and efficient
and much credit for the success that
attended the efforts of the govern
ment's law officer in this division is
Cue to the splendid support which he
received from the efficient marshal.
