GOV. TOM c. RYE.

About January Is. Gov. Rye will re-
\ tire from official life and probably re-
turn to his home at Paris where he
will resume the practice Of law, al
though he has had very flattering
offer from Memphis law firm to To-
cate there. The governor retires from
four years in the highest Office in the
state with the best wishes of large
majority of the people whom he has
served with fidelity and devotion.
Tennessee has had ADLER men in the
governors Office than Tom Rye, but
1t is no idle flattery to say that no man
of higher integrity has filed that
chair 1t can be truthfully said that
Tom Rye sought every day Of his Off
cial career to serve his state honestly
and with fidelity. He has made many
mistakes. The Herald has not been
slow to point out some of them. 1t
would have liked more aggressive at
titude than the governor has shown in
the solution of state problems. But
this paper knows that whatever the
governor has done or sought to do has
been with an eye single to the honor
and glory Of the state.
Tom Rye Is an honest man. He is
truthful. No man can tell the truth
and claim that he has ever been delib-
erately deceived by the governor. He
has been slow, very slow to make
promises, but when once made they
have been sacred. #
Tennessee is infinitely better off
than 1t was when the governor came
into Office four years ago and the
change Ia due in large measure to the
nnfaltering determination of the chief
executive to enforce the laws. Elect
ed on platform promising effective
enforcement of prohibition statutes
the governor set himself resolutely to
the task. Although opposed by the
most powerful political interests at
that time in the state, the governor
overcame all obstacles and many re-
creant official still trembles at the
mention of his name. He kept the
faith He did what he had promised
the people to do when he was a candi-
date. Party platforms and campaign
pledges have new and better mean
ing in Tennessee because Tom Rye
was true to his plighted word. He
dumbfounded his enemies and vindi-
Gated his friends.
AS q war governor Tom Rye did ev-
erything and more to place his state
in the front rank for patriotic ser
vice and devotion to the nation. He
worked earnestly for every war move

The election has demon strated that

man socialism have not been planted

ain. 1t il another gratifying feature

ways to be the Deneficiaries Of the suf-
ferings and sacrifices of better men
and women than they can ever hope to
be and at the same time avoid all
share of responsibility, received scant
comfort from the voters of England
and Wales and Scotland.
The one dark cloud in the whole re-
suit is the triumph of the Sim Fem
ers, or traitors, in the greater part of
Ireland. This is not surpri sing, how
ever, for the majority of Catholic Ire
land made it plain from the first that
they preferred the triumph of Prus-
sianism and the destruction of civili-
cation to victory for right and JUS
tice. Half the Sim Feiners elected
are in Jail. That fact may give some
comfort to the followers of Victor Ber-
ger and the apologists for Liebknecht
in this country, but otherwise it is a
melancholy story.
