IN the communities of the state. Not
more law, but deeper civic pride, a
more generous attitude toward ones
iuty and obligation to the community
md more patriotic impulse, are and
will be the solution of the road prob
EN-. A community whose members
believe in the general good, who are
moved by local pride, by civic obliga-
ions and by common purpose to
advance the public veal is going to
have good means of intercommunica
lion, although not single line of road
legislation be written upon the statute
books.
Probably the best that can be said
FOR the law is that it compels some
citizens, the "Heathens" as Gus Dyer
'erms them, to do that which proper
'ack of appreciation of their duties as
citizens keeps them from doing. The
people of Maury county, of any COM
nunity in Maury county can make q
wise and profitable investment in
good roads, one of the best that they
have made in life, when they once get
the right attitude toward the interests
of their communities. They will prob
ably not have good roads until they do.

NO TAX INCREASE,

1t is no doubt very gratifying to the
citizens and taxpayers Of Columbia
that a way has been found by the vet
eran recorder, Judge Erwin, whereby
the schools can be maintained at their
present high state Of efficiency with
out the necessity for any increase Of
the tax rate. Increases in tax levies
IRE very seldom popular. About the
last thing that the average mortal
wants to do except meet death is to
interview the taxgatherer. The lat
ter, as a class are not held in the
highest affection, although their neces-
sity is admitted by all.
No real public-spirited patriotic cit
izen of Columbia would have the splen-
did school system reduced from its
present high state of efficiency for the
lack of little more money. But The
Herald was of the opinion all the time
and said so, that the suggested in.
crease in the tax levy could be avoid
ed without touching the schools. 1t
still believes that this could be done
even had additional school money
from another source not been forth
coming.
Recent suggestions made by The
Herald touching the reorganization of
the city administration and charter
changes, at the expiration of the terms
Of the present officials, have met with
commentator from many sources. A
number Of thinking, public-spirited cit
liens have voluntarily given approval
to the view of this paper recently ex-
pressed. But no change, no real re-
form can come of the individual, each
acting alone. II any results are to be
achieved Within two years there
should be a meeting of taxpayers,
these matters thoroughly discussed
and If approved, committee appoint,
ed to draft the necessary amendments
to the charter to carry them into eff
feet. These amendments can then be
presented to the delegation in the leg
islature with the request that they
be enacted into laws.
Columbia's system Of public admin
istration should be very simplified, re,
sponsibility fixed and a considerable
sum of money saved to the taxpayers.
There is no question about the FEAST
bility of The Herald's suggestions. II
the taxpayers really desire a change
now in their opportunity. This paper
has no interest in the matter except
that Of a disinterested taxpayer
anxious for the welfare and progress
Of the city.

Again the hold that Senator Luke

was reelected member of the state
board of elections over the bitter OPP

Brackin defeated Thad Pope, of

vote of SIS to SO. Ninety-one demo-
Gratis voted in the caucus, eight being
absent or not voting. Had all eight
voted for Pope, Leas friends would
have had eleven majority In the con-

The solid Maury county delegation,

Capt Brackin has served on the
board for the past two years and has
made a splendid record. His new

gallant old tar who fought the battle
of Manila and changed the whole rela-
ton of this country to world affairs.
He made America for the first time
q really great world power. Before
that 1t had stood apart from many Oh
the affairs of the world. Whether or
not the change was for the advantage
of America may be a disputed ques-
ton, but no one can deny that George
Dewey did the task assigned him well.
He was for sixty odd years in the
navy Of his country. He was the
ranking naval officer of the whole
world.
Dewey's fame was dimned bit
when for a brief time he was seeming
ly obsessed with the idea that he
could utilize his great achievement at
Manila for political preferement. The
presidency, even had he attained it.,
would have added nothing to Deweys
fame.It might have been a mistake
for both the hero and the people. 1t
Is doubtful If Grants service as presi-
dent and his unsuccessful attempt to
break the custom of the country and
secure third term as chief magis-
trate added to the estimate which i'm
partial history will accord his services
to his country. He was much great
err general in the army than he was
civil administrator.
There have been few men in history
who combined qualities that made
them both great administrators of
civil government and great military
leaders. Caesar and Napoleon were
among the notable exceptions to this
statement. Dewey won at Manila
Bay a fame, achieved place in his
tory that even term as president of
the United States could not have
illumined.

LIQUOR SHIPMENTS.

Since the decision of Chief Justice
White, of the supreme court of the
! United States, upholding the validity
Of the Webb-Kenyon act the way is
now clear for the enactment of legis-
1atiOn that will forbid the shipment of
Antoxicants into this state. Several
Mills have been proposed all limiting
The quantity to be imported. Why fix
any limit Why not make the state
IN reality dry, genuinely dry? Why
should prohibition state permit a
quart or gallon to be shipped in
every week or every month? What
-nrgument can be advanced in favor of
even the limited use of liquor in pro-
hibition state?
To absolutely and utterly exclude
all shipments and shipments in any
quantity from the state would result
In making it dry. The local situation
can be taken care Of. If the outside
sources of supply are cut off it will be
impossible to get liquor in the state.
This will make the people of Tennes-
SEQ soberer and happier than they
have ever been. 1t will make them
more prosperous, too. The drain on
the state in money sent outside for
liquor, that adds nothing whatever to
the resources of the people, but is so
much capital lost forever, will be
stopped.
It would be a splendid idea to give
prohibition, actual. real, genuine pro,
lhibition, thorough trial in Tennes-
see. something that it has never had.
Then we can see just how much the
reduction in crime, in the insane and
I'm pauperism will be. AS one of the
ardent and original advocates of pro-
hibition in Tennessee, The Herald will
welcome such test because it knows
that the more rigid the enforcement
of the law and the "drier" the state
becomes the stronger sentiment will
be and when the next constitution is
written it will contain a clause that
will forever Danish the whole nefari-
Gus traffic from Tennessee.

NOT A "CURE ALL"

Americans have a mania for legisla-
lion. The idea permeates the whole
body polite that legislation is the
cure all, the veritable panacea for all
he ills of the country. No sooner
Toes any problem of government, of
roads, of schools, or public enterprises
Of social or business life present itself
than there does not come an insistent
demand for legislation. Much good
and wise and wholesome legislation
is enacted. Many reforms have been
brought about through legislation, but
mere act of assembly will not provide
relief for all the ills, real or imagi-
nary, to which the body polite is sub
ject.
Take the question Of better roads
for example. No sooner does the aver
age citizen begin to discuss the need
for improvement, and that all will
,oncede than he makes onslaughts
upon this or that law and has already
in his mind the germ of legislation
that would, in his judgment, meet
every requirement. AS a matter of
fact, the best devised legislation, the
best considered laws are often a dis
appointment to their most ardent ad-
vocates and particularly is this true
n q democracy where after all law
enforcement rests very largely upon
public sentiment and where any unex-
scuted law is about as worthless as
no law at all.
1t is not to legislation that the peo-
ole must look alone for better roads
but to themselves. Better roads do
not depend upon the kind and charac-
ter of laws that are enacted so much
a. they do upon the creation Of
wholesome sentiment for better roads

had in the legislature Of the state a
more valuable representative than he
made during his three terms of SER
vice.
Mr. Galloway has the correct idea
about road maintenance. Whatever
is worth having is going to cost some
thing in money and effort. If the road
tax is not sufficient to maintain the
additional mileage of public roads as
they should be kept up and to meet
exigencies of modern rapid transit,
then the rate should be increased.
That is the very reasonable and proper
conclusion of Mr.. Galloway. Money
does not grow on trees and 1t takes
a lot of it to do anything in this day
and time. The money must come
largely from the pockets of the tax.

how badly they want public improve.

AS a matter of fact, the tax rate in
the county is not high when the as

Nor is it high in comparison with the

And yet Maury county in both schools
