GOV. TOM G. RYE.

We must confess that up unit
very recently we have never had 8
very exaulted opinion OF Gov
Tom Rye's ability to handle the
liquor question. Fact is, We
thought be would simply wink al
violations Of the temperance laws
in the larger cities and that liquor
would be sold open and aboveboard
without any molestation from the
states chief executive. We really
thought Mr.. Rye in sympathy with
the liquor interests and that be
would use his office to protect
them, is anything.
But frankness compells the ad-
mission that in all this we were
wrong. During the past week or
so be has been put to the test, and
in this test he has shown conclu-
sively that he has no more sym.
pathy with a liquor law violator
than any other kind of law break
er. He put it up to Crump and
House to stop the illegal sale Of
liquors in those cities. House is
out of office before his term expir-
ed, and there is a strong probabil-
ity that Crump will soon be in
Houses company a statesman
minus a job. II Rye never does
anything else for the good Of his
state and for the redemption Of
platform pledges this one act will
be sufficient to merit the friend
ship Of every good citizen Of Ten.
nessee, whether democrat or re.
publican. Gov. Rye is every inch
a man true to his word, and the
Enterprise is glad to pay him
this tribute.
In the elections Of last week the
questions Of temperance and wo-
man suffrage both suffered in
some states, meeting defeat. These
are live issues. Their defeat in
some localities does not mean
that ,they are dead issues. No.
They will arise from the ashes,
just as the old South did after the
close Of the civil war, and both
will yet wave their banners Of
victory over these states which
teday vote them down.

Furred Tongue, Bad Taste, Indiges-

stomach to become filled with undl-

the first step to untold misery-indi-

skin, mental fears, everything that is
horrible and nauseating. A Cascaret

bowels a thorough cleansing and
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 1O-cent box

Short pieces of railroad iron are laid
in the concrete to re-enforce it.
After the top has properly set, the
supports are driven out, or broken
down with long iron rod. The boards
are then easily withdrawn. This cul-
