of Tennessee believe that they have
been influenced in their attitude BY
prsonal hostility toward him. We
doubt if even the mayor believes
this. Assuredly there is no reason
why Gov. Rye should not have the
most amicable personal and political
relations with Mayor Crump. If they
part company it is simply because the
governor has placed his duty as the
chief executive of Tennessee above
any party or personal consideration
Mayor Crump thinks an custer suit
against him is an outrage because he
declares conditions are just as bad
in Nashville and Chattanooga as thel
are in Memphis. That may be alto
gether true, but it does not excuse
the mayors direliction. The fact that
one officer fails to do his sworn and
solemn duty cannot be pleaded in de-
tense of another officers faithless-
ness to his trust. Because the mayor
of Nashville or the mayor of Paris
even has not done all that should B.
done to execute the law is not mat
ter relevant to any similar charge
that may be made against Mayor
Crump.
The Herald has never joined the
chorus of condemnation of Memphis
that has come to be almost fad in
Tennessee. In other words this
per does not believe that Memphis
inherently any worse than Nashville
or Chattanooga e 6oes not b
that politics in Memphis is more cor
rupt than in many other places and
since the recent revelations concern
ing the old Nashville machine The
Herald is inclined to the opinion that
Memphis is in some respects, at
least, better than Nashville. Howev-
er, from all the information obtaina-
BILE, it appears certain that at this
time and for several months past the
liquor laws have been much better

THE GRAND OLD MAN.

II every democrat in Tennessee, es-
pecially those who are genuinely
glad that the party has been rehabil-
itated and that the liquor issue has
been settled and settled right in this
state, could hear the speech deliver
ed by Sawney Webb here last Satur-
day and would lay aside all prejudice
and give ear to reason, Luke Lea
would be overwhelmingly elected to
the senate in the coming contest OF
this we have not the slightest doubt.

THE CITY ELECTION.

There will be very little surprise
expressed over the result OF the city
election. Impartial observers had
never believed that Mayor Dedman
could be defeated. His administra-
ton has received the expected ap-
proval of the people. That 1t has
been progressive no one can question
The Herald has not agreed with the
chief executive on many of his past
Holicies, but it has and does approve
the expenditures that have been made
for better school facilities, for bet
ter streets, better sewer system and
to obtain clear, clean water. Proba-
blv some of the methods In vogue at
ne city hall have been primitive and
M doubt there has been some inefn-
cheney in the city's government but
a was impossible to impress any con-
siderable number of the people with
the idea that there had been wanton
waste or corruption in the expendi-
tnre of the peoples money.
Mayor Dedman is energetic, pro-
gressive, intensely loyal to the city
and capable. He has made good re-
cord and we have no doubt that I'M
der his direction the affairs OF the
city will continue to prosper. The
election insures the continuation In
ofAce Of Judge Erwin, the Oldest re-
ccrder in the state. The Herald did
not believe that the war waged on
Judge Erwin would add strength to
the opposition ticket and the results
justified our opinion. Unquestionably
there were citizens who resented elev-
entti hour publications that tended to
reflect upon the integrity OF the re-
eOrder. The Herald has never ques-
toned the honor or integrity Of Judge
Erwin and it does not believe that
there is a more efficient recorder in
the state.

boss of the Bluff City has always
been too prone to rush into the
newspapers. He unQuestionably
made Hooper stronger in his third
race by his assaults than the repub-
lican candidate would otherwise have
been.
There should be no personalities
in the Memphis controversy. The
laws of the state have not been en-
forced in that city. The governor
has had certain powers conferred
upon him and he took solemn oath
to execute the law. His duty is
plain and mandatory. Unlike Gov.
Patterson and Mayor Howse and
Mayor Heiskell and number Of
their kind in Tennessee, Gov. Rye
believes that an oath of Office is
sacred and that o campaign promise
is a solemn obligation not to be
lightly thrust aside.
The Herald has not been overly
given to the praise of this state ad-
ministration. 1t has done many
things which this journal could not
approve but upon the question Of
law enforcement it submits that
Gov Rye has done everything pos
sible to carry out his prediction
pledges and has fully met the q.
pectations Of the independent demo
Gratis who trusted him and by whose
votes he was elected. In the next
campaign, should he again be q
candidate, he will receive a much
larger vote from this source than he
did in the last contest.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1915-11-05

sincere they must confess that the
advice given by this paper was who'll
ly disinterested and it's wisdom has
been fully proven by subsequent
events.
Gov. Rye has handled the Mem
phis situation most admirably. His
reply to the petition asking that he
dismiss the custer proceedings
against Mayor Crump and others
rings clear and true upon every point.
In this statement the governor
makes it plain that he is going to
stand squarely behind his pre-elec-
ton pledges. Unlike the average
politician the governor believes that
campaign pledges are sacred and
should be kept inviolate. He was
elected upon his declaration that he
would use every power conferred
upon his Office to execute the laws Of
Tennessee and he purposes to abide
by that pledge.
The governor says that if q rigid
adherence to his solemn declarations
means his political death he is ready
now for his demise. In other words
rather than betray the people of Ten.
nessee who, like The Herald. took
him at his word and trusted him
with their ballots, he would retire
forever to the shades of private life.
This paper is not surprised. 1t has
never doubted the governors sin
cere devotion to the cause Of law
enforcement. 1t predicted that he
would act in the Memphis case and
it never had the slightest doubt Of
the sort of reply that he would make
to the petition for a dismissal of the
custer suit
Every one must admit that in his
reply the governor has put one over
on the mayor" Crump's i'll advised

GOOD FOR RYE.

Again has Gov. Rye demonstrated
the fact that the confidence Of indie
pendent democrats who supported
him in his last campaign upon the
paramount issues was not misplaced.
He has once more justified the good
judgment of those who followed The
Herald again into the ranks of the
democratic party and there waged
the fight for good government. Some
of the good government advocates in
this county have never forgiven The
Herald and others for the victory
that democracy achieved last year in
the state, but if they are frank and

HEARS OF HIS BROTHERS.
SUCCESS WITH CANCER CURE

Harvey d. Walker Of this city. deputy
grand master Of the Ancient Order OF
United Workmen, is advised that his
brother, DIR. Charles II. Walker. 327 West
Eighty-sixth street, New York City, is
meeting with wonderful success with a
cancer cure that he has discovered and
which he Is now using.
DR.. Walker asserts that the prepera-
ton that he is using is a combination of
sulphur and selenium, the trade name
being suffo-seene.
While the doctor is not doing business
without making charge, he announces
that up to the limit of his ability. gratis
he will supply the medicine to those
who are suffering from cancer and who
are unable to pay. All he asks in such
cases is the certificate Of physician
that the case is one suitable for treat
ment.
In a recent issue of the New York
Sun there is an article of nearly
column detailing what has been accom-
plished in and around New York by the
use of the new cancer cure.

Two New Barges
Being Built for
The River Traffic

Two big new barges are to be built this
winter by Omaha and Decatur men inter-
ested In the barge line operations on the
river between the two places The river
traffic of last summer and fall has been
80 successful that they have decided 20
set ready in good season for the first
opening OF the river for traffic in the
spring.
The lumber Is going up to Decatur now
from Omaha for the construction OF these
two barges. They are 10 be OF l75-ton
capacity each. The Ada Belle, the 100
horse power boat that operated on the
river during the latter part OF the fan,
is powerful enough. river men say, to
handle these two barges dashed together
very nicely. This viii mean greatly in
creased facility for the shipping In the
spring.
About 1000 tons OF freight was handled
by the boSts between Decatur and Omaha
during the late summer and fall. since the
! little barge line was opened. Those who
put their money into this initial project
are greatly pleased with the results. not
I only on account OF what they have made
out OF il. but on account OF the pre-
oedent IL has established for river nayi-
