No, indeed. That is not the way our wiremen

But instead they will come quietly with drop
cloths to cover your furniture and carpets to

fish the wires under the floors up through

parlor or tearing the paper in the front hall.
And the work which is out Of sight, under the

GERMAN SUBMARINE.

Building merchant submarine
sending her across the Atlantic loaded
with the products OF Germany, Is q
feat that all the world must admire
II is highly probable that had the Ger
mans empire devoted its submarines
TO this peaceful mission they would
have been a source OF much greater
profit and the country would have had
hundreds of friends among the neu
trails OF the world whose good opinion
was lost forever when the outrages
upon vessels OF commerce and passen-
ger ships were committed by the U
boats.
Even among those who have no sym
patty for Germany who believe that
It's triumph In this war would be a
deadly blow to democracy and the tri
unph OF military oppression, this new
and novel use Of the undersea boat ia
genuinely admired. Some even are
hoping that 1t will safely elude the
British warships and return to It's
home with full cargo OF American
made goods. No one can blame the
British for making an effort to cap
ture the submarine, but the hope is
entertained that they will do nothing
to achieve this end that is not sus.
tanned by the rules OF international
law and the dictates OF humanity IT
Is sincerely desired that the British,
who have up to this time done nothing
to outrage the rights Of humanity will
continue this wise and benificsnt pol
Icy until the end OF the war, no matter
what the proyocation may be.

the federal patronage. not the per-
sonal property of Mr.. Padgett or any
other member, for the sole purpose
Of bribing prospective candidates
against him to stay out Of the way.
Low and sordid as is this conception
Of the duties and responsibilities Of
public servants there are more men
than Grady Jones in this country
who accept 1t as quite proper. Grady
has been caught; the others have
not. Patronage, the idea that it is
the chief end Of government, is the
bane Of our political system.
Fortunately Mr.. Padgett, as is In
dicated By his answer to Jones pro
position. has an altogether higher and
cleaner conception Of the responsible
ties OF the Office holder. He scorned
10 even consider the bribery, with
public place, Of prospective oppo-
nent. He refused 10 consider Mr..
Jones application. On the contrary
be called attention TO the fact that
In recommending for appointment to
the Office Of postmaster, the quail
fcations and fitness Of the applicants
would be considered and not the
question OF whether or not they would
give the appointing power clear
field In future contests. Mr.. Padgett's
letter is characteristic Of the man.
It is hardly conceivable that the peo-
pie Of the Seventh district, the district
Of James X. Polk and Thomas and
Whitthorne, would deliberately accept
the Jones view OF office.trading and
reject the high and lofty attitude OF
Lemuel P. Padgett. To suggest such
a possibility Is TO offer an insult to-
one Of the most intelligent and patri-
otto constituencies in all the United
States. Mr.. Padgett should be shown
by the vote ON August that the peo-
pie OF this district are altogether de-
serving Of the confidence which he
has expressed In their patriotism and
sound judgment His majority should
be an emphatic rebuke to the Jones
view Of office-holdlng and officebuying.

GAMBLING.

In the city court at Nashville tweH.
ty.6ye young men who frequent pool
rooms were asked what course was
pursued in settling for the games. All
replied that II was the rule for the
loser to pay for the game. Judge
Wells very properly held that such a
rule was tantamount to gambling, q
violation Of the law and those guilty
would be fined Unquestionably Judge
Wells Is correct. When the payment
OF the rent or use Of the table depends
Upon the result of the contest. the
game becomes gamble pure and sim
pie. The Herald does not know
whether or not this practice obtains
in Maury county. II II does the often

a good idea for the police to investi-
gate and summon some Of the players
before Judge Erwin. There should be
no favoritism In the execution Of the
law.
