This great hymn Of Reginald He
Der, and the editors request to write
about the Christmas Of long ago, has
revived beautiful memories which the
splendid Christmas issue OF our pa
per cannot contain.
Christmas was the greatest day of
the year in the home OF my childhood,
and we looked forward to It for
weeks.
We cnjoyed it more than the Chris
tan families do now because Of It's
very simplicity and reality 1t min.
stored more to the real necessities
and less to the imaginary wants of
childhood.
our farm work vas done. the gol-
den cars were in the crib, the wood
pile laughed at the signs Of a long,
cold winter-plenty of the most delic-
iOus apples MAT ever grew were in
the artificial cave, abundance OF the
best sweet apple butter and preaerv-
I'd fruits was in the cellar and clos.
cts. plenty of finely seasoned sausage
was packed In Jars: nothing remain
ed but what mothers and sisters
hands were glad to do-to bake the
pics and sugar cakes; the turkey
was In the shed and the stockings
ready to be hung on the capacious
mantle ebout the huge fire place,
where the yule-log burned and pine
knots glow was as bright as the
noon.

sentiment Of the community and the
laws of the state and city and attempt
to take orders for the neiarious LIQUOR

The officers have been active and
jealous In their efforts to enforce the

eternal viligance is the price that
they must pay for the execution of the
liquor laws. No laws when enforced.

RELIGIOUS CENSUS.

The people of the city, irrespective
of UNCONVENTIONAL preference, should
cooperate with the preachers and com
mittees in charge in taking religious
census of this community. These sur
veys should be made at frequent in
tervals. The church of God should
know just what it is doing, just how
many people are untouched by it and
what its opportunities are. It should
assuredly have information that will
enable it to perform a service without
which it will be impossible. The gov
eminent obtains and publishes every
year a mass OF statistics upon almost
every line of human endeavor. There
is great purpose in getting these
facts and giving them out. By hav-
ing an accurate knowledge of the bust
ness or agricultural situation of par
ticular locality the people are enabled
to measure its opportunities.
Unless the church knows what it's
status is in community, how strong
or weak its holds, it cannot know
or not it is measuring up to
its great opportunities, 1t is a graft
flying feature that all of the denomina-
tons of the church militant are CO.
operating In this work. How much
good they might accomplish if there
was more real and genuine co-opera-
ton for the great purpose of the
church is not to get more members in
a particular denomination, but to save
sinners and improve the general con-
litions in the community.

SHOULD BE IMPEAcHED.

Whether or not Judge Edgington OF
the criminal court of Shelby county
accepted vuglar brides for judgments
rendered, the Commercial Appeal has
already developed sufficient evidence
and boldly published it, much of II
documentary to convince any one
that he is hardly a fit person to try
the issues of life and death. There is
but one tribunal before which he can
be arraigned and tried and that is the
legislature of Tennessee. He should
not longer be permitted to dispense
Justice" under the charges that have
been made against him. Under the
practices that have been permitted in
Shelby county courts neither life or
property can be safeguarded and it is
the solemn duty of the legislature to
try Judge Edgington and If he is
guilty of portion Of the charges
made against him he ought to be re-
moved in disgrace from his Office

NEWELL SANnE RS.

In spite of the loud protestations

surface there Is being made On effort
to 6isplacs the Hon. Newell Sanders
rs the party BOSS" In the state. It
is pretty generally understood that
= sCongressme Sells and Austin have
: agreed to cooperate In an effort to
, change tho Leadership Of the party In
, Tennessee. They are being given
powerful aid by prominent repuhli-
cans of the third district. The bulk
of the republican vote of Tennessee Is
in the nrst three districts. In these
districts only is the party live and
viriie organization.
Should Sanders be deposed as the
head Of the party IN this state at
the coming convention his leadership
will have lasted Just exactly the same
period covered by the hossship of
his predecessor the late Congressman
Walter Preston Brownlow. The latter
was the dictator OF the republican
party In Tennessee from 1895 to 1905.
In the latter year the reigns Of the
party passed to Brownlow's old enemy,

they are about the welfare Of thu
human race. These same individuals
admitting the evils wrought by the
liquor traffic, opposed its abolition
lest violence be done to personal
rights. They conceded all the hor
rors of the white slave traffic, but
preferred them rather than restrain
personal liberty or interfere with the
rights of the states"
Now comes like objection to the
proposed child labor legislation. No
one can defend system that permits
little children 10 be worked sixty to
seventy hours a week in a factory,
denying them the light Of Gods sun,
the right to receive an education, to
develop their minds and bodies. Yet
necessary legislation should be stifed
because forsooth it infringes upon
some Anticipated theory Of government
that we have long ago outlived. If
the constitution is to be used as a
cloak for a continuation Of the child
labor system, as it exists in some
states of the Union, then frankly the
constitution should be amended. II
legislation to guarantee the little chill
dren an equal opportunity in the great
race of life will do violence to states
rights, then assuredly theory should
yield to the greater good of the hui
man race.
Governments should use and use
without sparing or hesitation all OF
their powers to make happier, health
Ter and cleaner the lives OF all the
people. Especially should these pow
ers be used for the defense of the
weak and the helpless No moscow
cred theory should ever be permitted
to divert the agencies of government
from their higher and nobler purposes.
Child labor, as practiced in many
states is wrong; it is an indictment
of our civilization challenge to our
protested Christianity. The govern
ment Of the United States should exer-
else its power to correct this wrong.
And it will. We are living, praise
God, in the white light of the twen-
tieth century, when Each mans veal
is every mans care" We are ap-
every day nearer and near
er that great ideal, the Universal
brotherhood OF man and Fatherhood Of
God. /

THE LlTERAcY TEST.

Congress should again pass and
without delay the bill providing for a
literacy test for immigrants, and it
should pass the measure over the veto
of the president. Mr.. Wilson never
made a greater mistake or more in
correctly read the sentiment OF the
people of this country than when he
vetoed this wise and beneficient
measure There is no doubt of the
public demand for greater restrictions
upon immigrants to our shores. On
three separate occasions the popular
house of congress by overwhelming
majorities has passed the literacy test
act. The people of this country are
entitled to have their will crystalized
into law. It is not improbable that
both political parties will demand
legislation of this character.
The recent riots at Youngstown,
Ohio, are of themselves, if there were
nothing else, sufficient to demonstrate
the great need for restrictions upon
immigration. Thousands and thou
sands Of illiterate Europeans, who
have and can have no sort of under
standing of the institutions and gov
eminent of this country; who mistake
license for liberty and who soon be-
come the prey Of designing demag-
ogues, have been permitted to come to
our shores and become a constant
menace to the peace and well being
of hundreds and hundreds of COM
munities. In some states they actual
ly WELD balance Of power in cleo
lions.
Every state in the union is annual
ly spending larger sum than 1t ex-
pended the year before in the educa-
ton Of its people. Illiteracy among
native born Americans has come to
be looked upon as a disgrace to the
state and In the South especially the
people have burdened themselves In
order to remove this stain. Under
these circumstances 1t is hardly con-
sistent in the federal government to
permit hordes of illiterate foreigners
to come to our shores and add fur.
Their to the burden of the native

CHILD LABOR,

Every time the powers of the fed
eral government are sought to be in
voked to end some wrong. we find old
stand-pat reactionaries who shout "un.
constitutional" There are others, par
ticularly in the South who exclaim
invasion Of states rights" 1t was
true when the white slave act was
passed; It was the case when the gov
eminent sought to curb the trusts;
to create great national monetary
system; to control the transportation
interests; and the same objection Is
heard every time an effort is made to
end the nefarious liquor traffic by fed
eral legislation.
There are unfortunately statesmen
who are more concerned about alb
stract theories Of government than

THE FEE SYSTEM,

According to the Memphis CONNER
cial Appeal, and the statement is not
denied, the clerk and sheriff of Shelby
county collected nearly $1,000 in fees
in single case. This was doubtless
gross perversion Of the fee law.
Probably II the law had been fairly
applied nothing like such large fees
could have been secured But the fee
system Is wrong In principle. Every
official of the state should be paid a
fixed and stipulated sum. There
should not be system that encour-
ages fee grabbing at the expense Of
litigants and taxpayers. The pay
ment OF larger compensation to GER
tain criminal officials than the judges
OF the supreme court of the United
States receive cannot be defended.
Excessive compensation to local off,
Gals likewise encourages corruption
In elections. The wonder is that the
people have for 80 long tolerated the
fee system as 1t exists In Tennessee.
In truth our whole system OF county
government Is cumbersome. unwieldly
and unscisntific.

The PROPER Spirit.

In pledging themselves to raise by
popular subscription from $4,000 to
$4,000 for making the road between
Columbia and Mt. Pleasant first
Ilass model highway, the citizens who
met on Wednesday displayed the prop
ar and an altogether commendable
public spirit That is the sort OF &C
ton that gets results. When men are
willing to go down into their pockets
they are pretty sure to get what they
are after 1t is strange thing that
there are always in every community
a large number OF men who are ready
10 subscribe hundreds and thousands
Df dollars for the construction of a
new railroad, but who will not give
one cent to the building Of highways.
Now as matter Of fact. system OF
HOOd roads radiating from Columbia
would be worth more, far more, to the
county than another railroad would
be. There Is only one way to get
good roads and that Is to pay for
them. We cannot enjoy the blessings
s0f modern civilization unless we are
willing to pay the cost. The meeting
ven Wednesday, 1t is to be hoped, will
be the beginning OF similar enterprises
to be undertaken by other citizens Of
the county.

GENUINE DEMOCRACY,

Down in Florida the folks are con
siderably aroused over provision in
the qualifications for voters in the
coming democratic primary which re.
quires voters to agree that they will
not allow religious or fraternal sympa-
thies or prejudices to influence them in
casting their votes. The chairman OF
the democratic state committee has
refused to again convene the commit.
tee to strike out these qualifications.
These restrictions really go TO the
very essence of democracy. They are
absolutely true to the spirit Of Amer
lean institutions, but after all will
they really secure the desired result
We may talk until we are black in
the faces about our genuine democ-
racy, our freedom from religious
prejudice, our right to worship God
according to ones own conscience
and the separation of church and
state, but all must confess that re-
liigous sympathies and prejudices go
a mighty long way in deciding our
political affiliations.
The constitution provides no sort
of religious test or qualification for
any officer of the government and yet
we know that Roman Catholic, for
example, is as effectually barred from
the chief magistry Of the nation, as
he is from the throne Of England
where statute law expressly forbids .

Gov. Rye should call the legislature
in extra session for the trial of Ed
goington and while it is at the job 1t
should make a complete investigation
of the alleged administration Of JUS
tice in both the criminal courts of
Shelby county.
In exposing rottenness in the
courts, in the elections and in the
city administration of Memphis the
Commercial Appeal is rendering a not
able public service. 1t is living up
to the high ideals of the press. A
newspaper that sits supinely in the
presence Of wrong doings, of gross
injustice and evil practices and re-
fuses to lift its voice in protest has
absolutely no reason for existence.
1t is unworthy of its high calling and
is merely mercenary sheet run for
what it can make. 1t is the solemn
duty of newspaper to inform the
people of the corrupt practices of their
servants and use all of its power to
correct abuses in government. Every
lover Of good government, every advo.
cate Of civic righteousness in Mem
phis should hold up the hands of the
Commercial Appeal and bid it God
speed in its bold and aggressive fight
for better things.

Catholic from inheriting the crown.
Popular prejudice would never sane
ton the candidacy of Roman Catho-
lie as president of the United States.
We all remember how bitter the crit.
icism was Of President Taft from
many quarters because he appointed
that great jurist and Confederate SOL
der, Edward White chief justice of
the supreme court, because of the
latter's church affiliations. Some of
the members of the protestant church.
es are absolutely loyal to their own
members when they are candidates
for Office.
We know that for many years there
existed the Catholic and the anti
Catholic factions among the voters Of
Nashville and other cities. It is also
true that many voters are moved In
the exercise of their elective fran.
chise by the secret or fraternal at.
filiations. These are conditions that
no one can deny. While they are con.
trary to the genius and spirit of Amer
lean institutions they exist, and 1t 10
very doubtful whether any party com.
mittee, by mere resolution. can change
them In Florida, because we know that
similar conditions exist to great or
less degree in every state in the
Union.
OF course in theory q mans re.
hgious affiliations should be neither
an asset or a liability in his contest
for office. Whether he is a member
OF one church or the other church
ought never to be considered, but the
sole question should be IL he q worthy
man; a Christian gentleman and will
his election promote the moral and
material welfare Of his people? There
are good and deserving men in all
churches and there are unfortunately
many unworthy members. However,
It is human nature to think ones own
crow is blacklist and probably the
Florida democratic committee Is up
against hard proposition to change
the current.

THE NEW JUSTICE.

That the president took the country
by surprise when he nominated Louis
Brandeis for justice Of the supreme
court Is evident from the newspaper
and other comment It had seeming
ly never entered the mind Of anyone
but the president, unless we except
Clifford Pinchot, that Brandeis was
suitable material for the highest jul
dicial tribunal in the world He has
achieved big reputation as reform
or and as an agitator and has acquit.
ted himself well as a lawyer. He is,
however more the aggressive advo-
cate than he is the calm and even
tempered Judge. His career has i'm
pressed one that he was sadly lacking
H. that characteristic so desirable for
the bench, "open mindedness. He is,
80 far as the public knows from his
spectacular career, deficient In the
judicial poise that should be required
to At one for the supreme court, or
any court for that matter. It would
have been better had the president
selected some lawyer better known for
his great legal ability than Brandeis.
The appointment does not at any rate
inspire that confidence among the
lawyers of the country that a selec-
ton to that great court should.
