this state are not only not prohibition
lists, but they frankly have no sort OF
sympathy for the announcements OF
the party upon that question. Two
wears from now the mask will be torn
aside and the republican party will
appeal to the voters of Tennessee
upon an anti-prohibition platform. The
prohibition party of the state may yet
become the last refuge of the dying
and discredited liquor interest
Politics make rapid changes. Only
two years ago Hooper, the nominee
for the third term for governor, and
Sanders, his appointee to the senate,
absolutely dominated the republican
party in the state. Now neither has
any more influence in the affairs OF
the organization than the most parti-
san democrat in Tennessee. 1t is
true that Hooper is the nominee for
the senate, but every one, those who
do not want him in the senate and
those who really do, knows that he
has not the slightest chance Of cleo
ton. Probably if he did have, he
would not be the nominee.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

There is nothing new or particularly
startling in the republican national
platform. Its declaration for the
rights of American citizens; its de-
finition of Americanism and its gen.
eralities can be endorsed by demo
Gratis as well as republicans. It's
demand that the rights Of American
citizens be protected upon land and
sea is in perfect harmony with the
performances of the Wilson admins
tration. That is exactly what the
president has sought to achieve. He
has labored earnestly to preserve
peace and at the same time to main
tain every right guaranteed to Ameri-
can citizens under the law of nations.
The republican platform does not
promise any more.
The attack upon the presidents

was anticipated. That is really the
weak spot in the present administra-
ton; it is going to be harder for the

WHY A CONVENTION?

Plans made for the coming session
of the democratic national convention
if carried out leave very little reason
why the delegates should attend at all
The committee that has been kind
enough to make all the plans, even to
the hours for the converting Of every
session of the convention and the
length of the speeches to be made, has
left nothing to chance or to engage
the consideration of the thousand del
egates and like number of alternates.
It is really ridiculous spectacle that
a thousand delegates, elected many of
them after a spirited campaign, should
60 from all parts of the nation and
even from over the seas to carry
through certain formalities that prob
ably half dozen amiable and accom-
modating gentlemen have been kind
enough to arrange with minuteness
of detail that. leaves nothing whatever
to chance.
The several sessions of the conven-
ton have been arranged. Although
there is no contest for president and
really none for vice-president and the
platform is already duly drafted and
probably copies ready for the press,
the keynote speech ready to uncork,
the nominating speech on ice, the con-
vention will go through the form OF
being in session for four days. That
must be done In order to satisfy the
of the hotel proprietors and
restaurant keepers of the city 1t is
really an undignifed excuse and one
that is not altogether creditable. The
show this year is hardly going toI
be worth going to see. Everything
has been so we'll forecasted in advance
that there will be nothing to entertain
or amuse the crowds that will attend.
There probably has never been ma
tional convention of any political party
where every detail was so well settled
before the gavel Of the presiding Off |
Ger fell as is the case with this con-
vention. In this respect it will be
The president frankly an

Of the churches. severed seventy years
ago as the result OF the anti-slavery
agitation. A suggestion of this char.
acter would not have been entertained
In 1870, it would have received doubt
full reception twenty years ago, but
now it appears to be highly desirable.
The only issue upon which the
church was divided has been forever
settled 1t is as dead as secession.
The churches are one in polity, in
creed, in articles of faith and in pur-
pose. Today they are one in every
thing except name and organization
There are some minor differences in
polity but not sufficient to make any
difficulty in union. Assuredly there
is no reason why there should be two
weak, struggling Methodist churches
in the same community, as is the case
in various portions of America, where
one strong, well organized and aggres-
sive church would serve the purpose
much better.

tice Hughes was not at liberty to re

note to President Wilson, who will be
his opponent in the election, was a
model. 1t was plainly designed to
relieve the president of any embar
rassment in the acceptance.
Hughes is an able man. He is in
every respect well qualified for the
high office to which he has been nom,
mated. He has proven as governor of
the empire state, his high qualities as
an executive. He is strong, robust,
thorough American with the most lofty
ideals of the public service. The
country may well be congratulated
upon the fact that the choice for its
next chief executive lies between two
such splendidly equipped patriots as
Woodrow Wilson and Charles E.
Hughes. Disinterested patriots who
are not concerned especially about the
distribution Of patronage, may rejoice
that no matter what the result of the
election may be the next president will
be abundantly qualified to faithfully
discharge all the duties of the office,
by any lack of political
or improper alliances.

JUSTICE HUGHES.

In nominating Justice Charles E
Hughes, of the supreme court OF the
United States, for the presidency the
republican party wrote new chapter
in the political history of this country.
It is the first time that one of the
great political parties of the country
has ever drafted" for the presidential
nomination one who at all times dis
couraged the use of his name in that
connection. Others have been nomi-
mated for president who were in no
proper sense candidates for the honor,
but Hughes apparently would have
avoided the nomination. He declined
repeatedly to permit his name to be
placed upon the ballot in preferential
primaries and insisted at all times
that he could not discuss his candi-
dacy.
Mr.. Hughes maintained a dignifed
and altogether appropriate silence. He
did nothing as member of the SUI
preme court that was inconsistent
with the high ideals of that distin-
guished body. He gave out no state
ments; had no managers; offered no
inducements to anyone. If he shall
be elected president of the United
States he will probably go into Office
with as few obligations to political
factions or political leaders as any
man who has ever entered that exalted
station. He is not beholden to any
one. He is free from any sort Of en-
tangling alliances. If ever man re-
ceived a high honor, the next highest
that can come to an American citizen,
without any effort upon his part, that
man is Charles E. Hughes. No ono
can despairingly say now that the Of
fee never seeks the man in free
America. That old wall has been pref
ty effectually discounted in this good
year.
The acceptance of the justice under
the circumstances was to be expected
and does not indicate that he was
anxious to receive the honor. No pa
triotic son Of America can refuse to

JUDGMENT FOR $4,000 FOR
DEATH.

In the case Of M. C. Packard, admin
istrator VS.. Federal Chemical company,
for damages for the death Of Mitchell
Pickard, it was agreed this morning
after the trial of the case commenced
that the jury could return a verdict
for the PLAINTIFF for $4,000. The proof
in part had been heard when the coun'
sci on both sides got together and
reached an agreement. Pickard was
an employe of the defendant and came
to his death at the plant near Mt
Pleasant. Plaintiff was represented by
Holding G Garner and the defendant
corporation by Hatcher & Hatcher and

the assaults of their opponents upon
any other issue of the coming cam

herited the troubles in Mexico from
President Taft, a republican, and his
tory does not record any better sue
cess for Taft's Mexican policy than
Wilson has achieved. AS matter OF
fact the president has dealt with the
situation pretty much as his republi-
can predecessor did.
The party's declaration upon the
vexatious issue of woman's suffrage is
manifestly a dodge. 1t will not be
pleasing to the advocates of equal
suffrage and it will be distasteful to
the men who are opposed to woman's
rights to vote. However, it is sensi-
BILE and altogether proper view of the
matter. The republican party recog-
nizes the justice of woman's claim for
the right to the ballot, but leaves the
matter to the several states. This
should be the democratic view which
has always been that the qualifications
for voters are issues properly to be de-
termined by the several states.
Naturally the republicans do not
like the democratic tariff. They are
still welded to the idol Of protec-
tive tariff for the sake of protection.
That is an issue that is not likely to
create any enthusiasm this year. The
people are prosperous and factories
and mills are running to full capacity.
Under these circumstances the repub-
lican policy Of protection will lose
much of its promise with the labor
vote. Farmers are getting more for
their products than ever before and
they are not likely to be again con-
vinced that protective tariff is neces-
sary to their salvation.
There is really no great issue of con-
sequence between the democrats and

sized in the election of Mayor Jesse

THE PIKE PURCHASE.

the action of the county court on Wed
,nesday in finally buying the toll roads
of the county goes without saying.
For many years The Herald has been
the earnest and consistent advocate
of free pixies. 1t commenced the agi-
tation when the proposition had little
popular support. 1t has been the one
and only consistent newspaper advo-
cate Of this wise and progressive
measure. It never despaired of final
success. 1t has watched with pride
and pleasure the ever increasing
strength of the sentiment against the
toll road, long ago too Anticipated for
the progressive people of Maury
county.
In the judgment of this paper the
county court of this county has never
done a better days work than 1t did
when it acquired the pixies. 1t is
sure that the best possible trade was
made, too No matter what opinion
may be as to the physical value of
the pixies purchased no one can con-
trovert the fact that the county shas
made a purchase that will rebound to
its credit for years and years to come.
The county could well afford to pay
more than the pixies were really worth,
because there are other considerations
aside from the money value of the
roads that made it desirable that the
county should abolish the toll gates.
They are bars to progress. They
have been an impeachment to every
movement; they have
stood in the way of a really effective
road system.
The day for the toll gate has gone. |
It will never be with us again. Like
The sentiment for public education,
that for free and easy means of COM
has grown until it will
brook no opposition. There can never

citizens Of the county so long as the

,asy means of transportation.
Maury county has never paid for
anything that will rebound more to

PEACE LEAGUE ADDRESSES
LETTER TO TEACHERS


sensitiveness of the belligerents
to the charges of violations of
treaties and the establihed law of
nations. No branch of interna-
tional law in this war will pass un-
noticed. The combined action of
modern powers, represented chief
ly by the Hague Conferences, has
developed this sense of response
bility-a great step in the worlds
progress; and it is not mere sup
position to expect that one out
come of the peace settlement con-
ference will be the recognition
that violation of international law
is a legal injury to every nation.
The present constituencies should
develop into conscience, so that
the peace which ends this unfor-
tunate war and the means takento
prevent the violation of its terms
will make new era in interna-
tional relations. This peace,
which follows the Peace of West
phalia in 1913, the Peace of
Utrecht in 1713, and the Treaty
of Vienna in 1915, the three cele-
b1 ated cases of combined Euro
pean action, should usher in an era
of law which, as Mr.. Root says,
will "constrain nations to conduct
based upon principles of justice
and humanity"
This should be the greatest step
forward. This is the only compen-
sation for the terrible interruption
of the processes of civilization.
Should not the celebration of
Peace Day this year clothe with
new significance the meaning of
arbitration, mediation, investiga-
ton and Cancellation for prevent
ing destructive warfare? One
might we'll include in this observ-
ance a description of the perma-
nent Court of Arbitration at The
Hague and show it's effectiveness
in settling the fifteen important
cases which have been taken be-
fore it since 1902. The formation
of a real world court, so nearly
accomplished at the Second Hague
Conference, should also be en-
phasized as an ideal for which the
the world has hoped and waited.
A Peace Day exercise in the
schools this year offers a great
opportunity to take note of these
solid foundations of law and order,
and above all to point to the un-
DERIVING spirit of cooperation and
good will which has brought the
world to the present stage of uni
fl alton. In so far as this spirit
persists will civilization achieve
its ideals.
Of all the institutions working
for the unification of mankind
the school stands first. On those,
