personally direct the fire fighting.

Yesterday morning, reaching the

ATTACKS SEVEN TIMES
Seven times he led his storm

and seven times he was driven
back, leaving dead and wounded
on the field. On the seventh re-
pulse his army broke and Villa
gave the order to fall back. This
move was the signal for a sortie
in force by the Carranzistas, be-
fore which the Villistas fed.
General Trevino, the Carranza
commander, was wounded early
in the afternoon, a bullet plough

taken to a hospital and treated,
but refused to stay there, leaving
the hospital in time to take part
in the later fighting and the pur-

VILLISTAS MOVED DOWN
The defenses of the CITY of Chi

pieces, posted on the heights com

nothing heavier to bring to bear
than machine guns, and the

MORE SPLIT SALARY DEALS ARE
THREATENED-TRIAL ENDS

LQ6 PUBIC welfare bureau, DuC II Is
going on in many other departments
of the City Hail." Atty Seymour
Stedman told the civil service COM
missiOners yesterday in making an
impassiOned plea for a favorable YER
dict for his client, Mrs. Page Waller
Eaton, who charges Mrs. Louise
Osborn Rowe, com'r public welfare,
with collecting one-third of her sal
airy for the mayors sister-in-law.
He declared that Mrs. Rowe was
guilty and should be found guilty.
That she was denying a fact sworn
and testified to by three witnesses
whose motives could not be question
ed and who had no other interest in
this matter than good government.
IF the mayor had been free of bias
he would have called all parties con-
cerned' into his office Immediately
upon hearing of this matter" said
Stedman. Three witnesses ought to
be enough for you gentlemen to bring
in a decision which will forever set a
precedent in Chicago civil service
and give moral courage to men who
are being shaken down to deny their
political bosses the right of shaking
them down"
Atty Malato came back by attack
ing Stedman, asking him who paid
his fee in this case and refusing to
believe and laughing at Mrs. Eaton's
story that she paid Mr.. Stedman $25
to handle it.
Why, I'm getting as fat a fee for
this case as I ever got in my life"
laughed MalatO. 81 hope some other
lady will trump up charges against
somebody else, so that I may get an
other"
When Chairman Percy Coffin de-
cided to take the testimony under
Amusement Stedman said that Ma
Iato's hopes would come true; that he
would have another case shortly.

examples will illustrate the truth OF
this statement. Two years ago the
question of voting $4,000 for a High
School building in Columbia was sub
mitted to the voters. Less than 4OO
went to the polls and expressed any
opinion. The next year lola voted IN
a contest for mayor. Upon one occa'
sion the city of Nashville voted $5OO'-
600 bonds with total vote of 500 out
Of 1909.
In Maury county the other day a
much more important question than
the purchase of pixies was submitted
to direct vote Of the people. Less
than one-fourth of the voters of the
county took the trouble to express any
opinion. Only half of those who went
into the polling places and expressed
a choice for tax assessor cared enough
about whether the state had new
constitution or not to mark their bal
lots. Under these recent experiences
who can insist that there is any par
ticular virtue in direct government or
that the people are really in favor of
the referendum?
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1916-08-11

in extra session, due notice thereon
being given to all, had agreed to the
purchase of the pixies, then suDse'
ouently another regular meeting went
by when all formalities we're compiled
with and the court without a WORD
of protest entered into the last solemn
formalities of the transaction. NOW
under these circumstances is 1t falr
to the county court to ask reversal
of it's solemn decision? Many good,
earnest and conscientious citizens OF
the county oppose the purchase OF the
highways, but will they not in all
fairness agree that a formal protest
at this time comes too late?
When the county court was called
in extra session for June IA, by Judge
Mcknight for the sole and only pur-
pose of considering the purchase OF
the pixies, then, and not now, was the
time to voice formal opposition.

A FAIR ELECTION.

From all reports the election last
Thursday in Maury county was about
as fair and clean as any ever held in
the county. 1t was distinct improve
ment in respect to the amount Of
money spent over many elections Of
the past. There was little evidence
Of Doodle at any polling place Of the
county and the election laws appear
to have been fairly enforced. The law
making payment Of poll taxes thirty
days before election prerequisite to
voting is a most wholesome one and
had splendid effect. This law should
be so amended as to make the time
three months instead of one. If this
were done the corruption at the ballot
box would be still further reduced.
Men who voluntarily pay their poll
taxes in advance of an election very
seldom sell their votes. 1t is usually
necessary with the venal vote to pay
the poll taxes on the day Of election.
1t will be a better day for Tennessee
when our elections are cleaner.

MARsHALus CLOSE CALL.

Progressive, forward looking citizens
of Marshall county had close call the
other day when a reactionary candi-
date for the legislature came within
less than 100 votes of election. The
issue was squarely made between pro-
gressive school legislation, equal
terms on the one side and the anti
quated district plan and retrogression
on the other side. j. M. Robbins, can
didate Of the progressives won by an
eye lash. He would have been beaten
but for the almsot unanimous support
that he received in Lewisburg, whose
citizens we're keenly alive to the ire
nendous importance Of the issue in
volved.
Reaction almost always follows
quickly upon the heels Of progress. 1t
Is not often the winner, It is seldom
that 1t makes the showing that it did
10 Marshall county. Next time it will
NOT do so we'll, but those who achieve
reforms err when they rest upon their
oars with the assurance that because
a victory is won the contest 81 for
ever decided. Marshall county is to
be congratulated. It's people have
wisely and periodically decided some
tremendous issues and it is going to
be long time before any candidate
for the legislature in that county will
seek the suffrage of the voters upon
decidedly reactionary platform.

VOTE OF PEOPLE,

Some of the critics of the county
court for purchasing the turnpikee
complain that the question should have
been submitted to vote of the people
The same complaint was made for a
long time against the prohibition laws
by those who were opposed to their
enactment. People who make the
complaint seemingly overlook the fact
that in Tennessee the governmental
system is representative and not a
direct democracy. No obligation rest.
ed upon the legislature to shirk its
responsibilities in the enactment of
legislation to curb or destroy the
liquor traffic and no obligation rested
upon the county court to abdicate its
office or shirk it's duty upon the ques-
ton of road legislation.
1t would have been the easy thing
for the county court to have done, to
decline to act in the purchase of the
pixies and submit the matter to the
people. The members could easily
have shirked all responsibility; avoid.
ed their whole duty and escaped any
criticism. Fortunately for Maury
county the court is not made up of
representatives who are afraid to do
what they conceive to be their duty.
They realize that they were elected to
assume certain duties and responsible
ties under our system Of government
and 1t is their duty to perform these
duties.
Tennessee cities and counties and
the state itself have not had a very
pleasing experience with the referen-
dunn or direct government. A few

DIRECT GOVERNMENT.
'hirps the Chattanooga News:


Government ought to be brought
closer to the people. We need the
initiative, the referendum and the re-
call That is direct legislation"
One thing can be said for the es-
teemed News. 1t is an optimist of the
purest ray serene There is no ques-
ton about that. In the face of the
failure, the almost complete failure of
the referendum upon the most impor.
tant issue submitted to the people Of
Tennessee in a generation, The News
is mistaken in its belief that direct
legislation would be the panacea for
all of the ills to which human flesh is
heir. Not one-third Of the voters of
Tennessee cared a rap whether they
had a new constitution or an old one.
There would be no more interest when
the proposed amendments are submit
ted If there is anything that the peo-
pie of Tennessee do not need it is
more direct legislation. All that
would do would be to make legislators
and county courts and city councils
shirk responsibility. Their slogan
would be '1et the people decide" The
people would be Indifferent and the
result would be greater chaos, ineffi-
GENTLY and corruption in public places.
Better leave the splendid Anglo Sax
on creation of genuine representative
government unimpaired.
