FRISCO LABOR FAkER
ENDORSES FICKERT
TO SAVE HIS GRAFT

SAN FRANCISCO -- Andrew j.
Gallagher has ordered the members
of the Jitney Drivers Union to put
Fickert signs on their automobiles.
At an executive committee meeting
of the union several days ago, he
demanded that the union go on rec
ord for Fickert.
The reason for this came to light
today. Gallagher gets $3.50 month
from the union to deliver police
protection to its members. Fickert,
in return for Gallaghers support,
gives this protection by refusing to
prosecute jitney cases in the police
courts, and rendering the police pow
erless to carry out the orders of the
United Railroads to drive the jit-
neys off the streets. Without this
protection, the jitney drivers doubt
ago.
"Puncture" Threatened
The $3.50 is not the only stake.
AS president of the Golden State In
demnity Company, organized to sell
bonds to the jitney men, Gallagher
gets another $3.50. With Fickert in
power, Gallagher can continue to de-
liver, and collect his $3.50, and the
other $3.50 as head of the company.
His salary as president hangs sec
ondarily on his power to get protec-
ton, and the whole $500 disappears
like the "sizz" of punctured tire
if Sweigert is elected.
These facts explain Gallagher's ac-
tivities during the last few months
Friends of Gallagher, who has been
known in the past as labor man,
were puzzled by his immediate de-
Tense of Fickert, when the Oxman
exposure was made. Without in
vestigation of the case of any kind,
he Immediately declared that the
bomb defendants were guilty as
hell" and at issue with every repu-
table labor leader in the city, began
a campaign of abuse against every
one back of the Oxman exposure.
From that time on, he has been ac-
lively engaged in defending Fickert.
Now comes the explanation. Two
fifty per month is the measure of
his loyalty to Fickert and the gauge
of his belief in the guilt of the bomb
defendants.
The jitney men have not yet in
dorsed Fickert and it is not believed
they will do so. Without exception,
the drivers are angry at Gallagher,
and it is predicted that resolutions
indorsing Sweigert will be adopted
in day or two.

MAKING THE WORLD SAFE FOR PLUTOCRACY

The slogan of those who boosting for the war
is Make the World safe for democracy" Be not de-
ceived thereby. 1t is blind-camouflage Behind
the mask the legend reads Make the world safe for
Plutocracy"
If the war mongers thought that the would
end in real democracy, industrial well political,
they would throw Henry Dubb fit and begin to
agitate for peace at any price.
What capitalists mean by democracy" is: The
right to continue their business of exploitation and op
preston usual the right to hire and fire their work.
ers without interference from unions the right to work
men, women and children as long they fit with
out the hindrance of laws the right to employ children
at early age economic necessity will drive them
into the labor market the right to battle for foreign
markets with the capitalists of other nations and the
right to the continued control of politics and egsa-
ton in their interests regardless of the wants and
wishes of the people
That has always been their program. They have
not had change of heart-at least, not that you
could have noticed it at Everett Butte Tulsa and other
places. If they mean anything else by democracy"
now, they have failed to express it.

FREE LEGAL
ADVICE

@. The water company of Repub-
lie, Ga privately owned concern), not
being in position financially to
give adequate water service has
caused our citizens to discuss means
of relief.
Some of our comrades have sug
gested that the citizens incorporate
and sell to themselves coupons re-
deemable in water rent to the
amount sufficient to purchase our
present water system. And that the
papers of the new company shall be
so drawn as to prohibit the sale or
transfer of said water company to
any individual, corporation or firm,
to be operated for profit.
Those opposed to this idea, land
who desire to acquire the water
system for the sake of profit, claim
the aforesaid proposition, as sug-
gested by the socialists, cannot be
contaminated because of legal tech
nicalities. Kindly inform me as to
the facts either by letter or through
the columns of The Cooperative
News. ALBERT STROUT.
A. The plan is perfectly feasible,
if it is worked out properly. 1t will
hinge upon how the articles of in
coronation are drawn; and there isn't
very much technicality about that;
just matter of good faith and
knowing the objects and how to at
tain them

LONDON, Dec. 11-Russian officials in London

today the movement to overthrow the Bolsheviki
supported by the Cossacks and leaders of other
parties
These leaders, it said, were confident they
would be able to make short shrft the Bolsheviki
The first thing to be noted is that the Associated
Press stated that Kaledne is leader of democratic
peoples in Russia. 1t is well known that Kaledine
is of the arstocracy and the statement referred to
is readily understood when is realized that capitalists
really mean plutocratic" when they say democratic"

Secondly, it sticks out all the said news"
item that the Capitalist papers wish to have the Boil

want to try another Kerensky affair." and they tell you
it is just around the They forget that that
plan given a good and sufficient try-out, but
ended in miserable failure because the Russian people

that the old order will be saved Their sympathy is

The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1917-08-31

When a young man with little repu-
tation and less ability steps into the
shoes of one who has both a wide
renutation and exceptional ability he
finds himself in a hazardous position
and one that is difficult for him to I'LL
without having the appearance OF a
pigmy in the aforesaid shoes. Such
a situation is that in which the pres
emf editor of The Herald finds himself.
Only a knowledge OF the temperament
Of the people of the Columbia terri
tory. which is one Of the broadcast
charity, the truest loyalty and the
most intense appreciation for an hon.
est effort is the capital upon which
he hopes to sustain himself.
Columbia, the brilliant jewel adorn-
ing the "Dimple of the Universe, is
a city in which any person may count
himself a favorite of fate TO be allot-
ted home, and The Herald is
newspaper to be connected with which
is a distinct honor Other cities may
have their boosted advantages and
other newspapers may count more
pages but neither can bedim the glory
of Columbia's fame nor detract in
comparison from The Herald's heart
hold upon it's readers
With this brief expression OF a
more or less personal nature we are
ambitious TO continue the. support or
every worthy movement for the ma
terial development Of the Columbia
territory. the civic advancement Of
Columbia, the political integrity OF
the state and finally for the complete
success Of the nation in the war to
make the world safe for democracy.

are not very much concerned about
politics these days and very properly
40. 1t is unfortunate that we cannot
do in this cnuntry as they do IN
france and England, postpone all
elections until after the close OF the
war. But since that cannot be done
elections must be endured as neces-
sary evils.
Mr.. Peay is an able lawyer, in the
prime OF life, student of govern
m1nt and a gentlsman OF clean ana
upright walk in life. He is intensely
patriotic and would make the state
a creditable governor If past issues
that have divided the people OF the
state, but are now apparently set
tied, SHOULD again prove a subject OF
discussion in the campaign, Mr.. Peay
might be at a disadvantage for he
has not been an advocate OF prohibi-
ton. But Judging from his interview
he is perfectly willing to accept this
issue as settled.
There will probably be number
of candidates for governor. Judge
A. H. Roberts, OF Overton county, is
a likely aspirant. He is one of the
ablest iurists in the state and made
a great reputation az permanent
chairman Of the last democratic state
convention. Clyde Shropshire, speak
er of the house, from Nashville, has
also been feeling the waters and if
the outlook should be propitious he
would shy his castor into the ring.
Doubtless East Tennessee will furn-
ish candidate or two, and altogether
the prospect is rather good for a
lively contest for governor in the
good year 1918.
The contest will be decided in a
compulsory primary next August, the
first direct primary for governor since
the memorable Carmack- Patterson
race in 1908.

LINcoLN's SPIRIT.

The spirit OF Abraham Lincoln the
savior Of the Union, the champion
OF democracy, evidently still asldes
with the people Of his native county.
Larue county where the emancipation
was born has made record under the
selective draft law that will for all
time to come reflect undying honor
upon the breed and manhood OF its
citizens One hundred and thirty-two
men were examined, the first called To
supply its quote under the draft law.
Every one Of the number proved to be
physically fit for army service and not
one of them claimed exemption.
Think of 1872 soldiers out of pos
sible 1872, one hundred per cent rec
ord. It cannot probably be matched
in the whole union.
In the generations that are TO
come, long after the bones OF these
heroes have mingled with the earth,
the people of Larue county will refer
With pride to the record that their
forebears made in the greatest srruz-
Gle the world has ever known for
democracy and civilization. The rec
ord made now will be the common
heritage Of the people who are to
come after these heroes in Larue
county
There is no better Anglo saxon
stock than is to be found among the
people of Tarue county. There has
been little mixture OF foreign blood.
The people are the descendants OF
the hardy pioneers who when Ken
lucky bore the somewhat gruesome
sobriquet OF dark and bloody
ground bIazed a pathway through
the wilderness and erected their hrsr
rude temples dedicated to liberty
They fought valiantly in every war
for the nation. 1t was in this county
that Abraham Lincoln, taken alto
gether the finest product OF the
American democracy, first saw the
light OF day. It is altogether fitting
that the descedents of those amona
whom he grow to young boyhood
should prove themselves ready tf
make the sublime sacrifice thai
government OF the people, By The
people and for the people should
not perish from the earth
