There is no reason why there shouiu

THE ROAD LAW.

It is hardly probable that any COM
nittee or any court could draft road
law that would be altogether just and
equitable in it's operations or one that
would meet the approval OF everyone.
That is not humanity possible. No law
ever passed, however well intentioned
it's authors might have been, was alb
solutely fair in all of it's application.
This is not to be expected in a road
law; that recommended by the County
Court on Saturday is not altogether
the law The Herald would enact. 1t
has some Objectionable features. But
it is probable, all things considered,
that it is the best that can be obtained
at this time,
There Is some merit in the conten-
tons made by Squire Webster. That
cannot be denied Possibly one gem
eral manager, if the right individual
were selected, for all the road system
of the county, would be an improve
ment in some respects over a commits
sion of three. But the people are a
bit too jealous in democracy, OF
their powers and rights, to surrender
too much into the keeping of one indi-
vidual. A benevolent despotism is ad-
mittedly the best government that the
mind of man has ever devised. But
benevolent despots have been so rare
in history that the experience of the
ages is all against this form of gov.
eminent. Not since the days of good
King Alfred the Great. has there been
a benevolent despot among the rulers
of the English-speaking peoples.
The Herald is in hearty sympathy
with the modern tendency to concen
trate governmental powers in the
hands of a few responsible officials
But II is rather inclined to the view
that q county commission Of three te

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

If the house passes the act as IL
probably will, repeating the Bowers
BILL capital punishment for murder
will he restored in Tennessee. The
Bowers act should never have been
passed. It's passage was due entirely
TO a maudlin sentimentality. 1t came
of no public demand. AS a matter OF
fact, an overwhelming majority of the
people of the state were opposed TO
the law, A very amiable old gentle
man seeking a bit of brief notoriety
and no doubt inspired by considera-
tions of humanity, was responsible for
the measure. Its passage two years
ago was a striking commentary on the
susceptibility of a Tennessee legisla-
ture to the Vaccinations OF a smooth
lobby. 1t is unfortunate that there
cannot be a real peoples lobby main
aimed at Nashville for the purpose OF
protecting the legislature from the
wiles of the professional and selfish
sort of Hobbies.
