DR.. Brown AYRES.

One of the states greatest educa.

DR.. Brown Ayres, President of the
University of Tennessee. He was a
man of great attainments, scholar,
student and an interchangeable work.
err. Under his capable administration
the University of Tennessee develop
ed and progressed as it never did be-
fore in the same length of time.
DR.. Ayres was constructive states
man in the realm of college admins
tration. He did more with less to do
with probably than any college presi-
dent in the history of this state.
When he was chosen president of the
state university it's income was the
smallest of any state institution of the
same standing in the nation. Its in
come was altogether disproportionate
to the work that it was required to do.
But through his rare administrative
abilities he succeeded where others
would have confessed failure without
an effort. No more tireless worker
lived than DR.. Ayres. He worked al
most until the hour of his death.
DR.. Ayres was the ideal college pre-
sident for the institution that was de-
voted to the teaching of the classics.
He was not abreast of the times. He
did not have that degree of sympathy
for the vocational training that one
should have to administer state insti-
tuition in these times. 1t is doubtful

ton which are the price of success.
Men like Farmer and Keen e Son and
Williamson, are not only great assets
to the hog industry of the county and
state, but they are public benefactors.
BY their development of the big nog,
the quick maturing hog, the more east
ly fed and kept hog, they are adding to
the profits of all the pork producers
of the county. It is to be regretted
that more of the fine hogs sold by
Farmer and Keen did not remain to
enrich the breed of Maury county,
but there is yet another golden oppor-
tunity during the spring for the pro-
gressive farmers of the Dimple who
overlooked their opportunity. On
March Williamson will sell as fine
bunch as one could find in weeks
travel at his Old Ho.lestead Farm.

INFANTRY CASUALTIES.

An artillery officer writing from
France declares that if any one asks
who primarily won the war with Ger
many, he would unhesitatingly an
swer, "the infantry" And these re
marks appear to be amply sustained
by the casualty lists of the several
regiments from this state. The Single
national guard infantry regiment
from Tennessee had more killed and
missing than all other national guard
unites from the state, artillery and
machine gun, combined. In fact the
old Third Tennessee now 117th In
fantry immortalized itself with the
British in Flanders and suffered ap-
palling loses, nearly 400 dead being
counted. The artillery losses were
light, very light, due Of course to the
fact, first that artillery losses are
seldom as heavy as infantry losses
and secondly because the American
artillery was always advancing. Neces'
sarily the losses would have been
heavier had the artillery been forced
to retreat.
Every arm of the service is EMIT
led to praise and credit for the great
victory achieved. All branches per
formed a necessary service. The in
fantry could not have operated with
out the artillery, the signal corps, the
air men, the machine gunners, the am
munition carriers, all were necessary
to victory. And yet it was the plain
doughboys. the fellows who stood
weary hours in mud and slush and
vermin and then when the orders
came to advance, smilingly marched
straight ahead into the very jaws of
hell itself but always marched on
ward and ahead-these are the men
who somehow get bit closer to us
than any others. They have been the
great factor of every army since time
began. Napoleon's matchless infantry
raised him to the highest pinnacle of
fame. The science of war has chang
ed, changed very greatly, but in spite
of predictions to the contrary, the in
fantry is still the fundamental part
of the army. Four hundred Tennes-
scans from the immortal 117th have
testified with their blood that they
were worthy heirs of those who in the
civil war wore the blue and the gray
Peace to their heroic ashes.

NO MOB VIOLENCE.

Gov. Roberts cannot be too highly
commended for his prompt action in
warning the peace officers of Maury
county that Harvie, although charged
with an almost uncomfortable crime,
must be protected from mob violence.
If all officers charged with the execu-
ton of the law act with the same de-
termination and promptness the re-
cord of this state will be unstained by
resorts to mob violence. Many terri
BILE crimes are annually committed in
the state but none of them compare
with that which murders the law and
challenges our boosted civilization.
That is the result when mobs take
possession of men charged with crime
and execute them in violation of the
law.
1t is good to have governor with
the resolution, the determination and
the courage to boldly announce that
mob violence must not be tolerated.
There is seldom any reason or excuse
for the mob. Nine out of ten men
against whom the mob wreaks it's I'M
lawful vengeance would have been
punished through the courts. Men
who escape the justice of the courts
because of power in politics, money
or influence are seldom if ever the vic
tins of mob violence. No matter how
cold blooded the murder, so far as
we know, no man in Tennessee with
influence and friends has ever been
victim of the mob, even though he
went unwhipt of justice in the courts.
Gov. Roberts can do his state no
greater service than to inculcate in
the minds of the people more whole
some respect for the law and a great
er degree of reverence for the consti-
tutd authorities. Government is a
failure if it does not protect human
life. The courts and machinery pro
vided for the punishment of crime
and the protection of society are not
worth their cost if the humblest and
most dissolute citizen is not assured
of the protection of his inaiienable
rights.
Law abiding citizens of Maury coun
ty, and they constitute large maj
GRITTY, will unhesitatingly applaud
governor who courageously defies all
forms of lawlessness and anarchy.

TIE COLUMBIA HERALD FRIDAY. FEBRUARY /, 1910

where the Republicans have O MAORI
ty of the county court Democrats have
been elected to this office and in other
cases Democratic maiorities have
elected Republicans, because the polit
ical issue was not raised, the best
qualified candidate being elected.
This would not be probable under
the direct election. Candidates for SUI
perintendent then would be on the
same footing as candidates for any
other political office. They would
have to enter primaries or conventions
make political deals and combinations
and the result would be chaos in the
schools.
In all of the bitter political con-
tests that have marked the history of
this county during the past dozen or
more years the schools have been
kept out of politics. Who believes
this would have been the case had
the county superintendent Office been
made, political football. The mem
bers of the county court assuredly
have done nothing to forfeit the con-
fidence of the people in their ability
to properly direct the schools. AS a
matter of fact too many officials al
ready are elected. Our ballots are
too long and cumbersome. We need an
even smaller court than we have with
largely increased powers so that there
will be responsibility in government
The tendency of the times is al in
that direction.
The Herald regrets to note that Rep
resentative Hays of this county is
one of the authors of the proposed
legislation. 1t is gratifying to the
friends of public schools to know that
Representative Russell, who probably
has had more experience on school d.
rectorates and boards than any man
in the county, is opposed to the bill,
as he was to a similar proposition in
the preceding legislature.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1919-02-07
LET. SCHOOLS ALONE.

Several members of the house have
introduced bill providing for the
election of county superintendent of
public instruction by direct vote of
the people. Before this bill becomes
law, if it ever does, the caption
ought to be so amended as to read "An
Act to put the public school system
of the several counties into politics"
Whether or not that is the purpose of
the measure, that would be it's effect.
There is no sort of demand in Maury
county among the advocates, support
ers and students of public education
for the enactment of such a law. 1t
would serve no good purpose and
would be a distinctly backward step.
The county courts have elected the
county superintendent since the sys.
tenn was established nearly q half a
century ago and they have, on the
whole, discharged this duty well. They
have kept the schools free from polit-
ical faint. They have not made it nee
essary for the superintendent of
schools to align themselves with
political factionists or parties.

IL he ever, appreciated the fact that
three -fourths o. the population Of the
state know and appreciative the uni.
versity altogether through their
knowledge OF and the achievements
OF the college of agriculture. For
these reasons he was not popular
educator in the sense that he had a
large personal following in Tennessee.
However, his ideals were too high,
his convictions too deep for him ever
to make any sort of compromise in
order to attain personal following or
popularity. He would not have com
promised conviction or surrendered
an ideal to have attained any object
however much he might have desired
it. He was the approximation of
honor.
There was no more courageous edu-
Gator in the state than this good man.
He is in fact was strikingly iddustrat-
ed when the Cookeville Polytechnic
bill was rushed through the legisla-
ture. Although his own institution
was suppliant for the favors Of a
recreant legislature and there were
powerful political interests backing
the Polytechnic he did not hesitate
to speak the truth and to tell the legis-
lators palinly that they were needless
ly duplicating the educational machin-
cry of the state. He was no sort
of democogue.
DR.. Ayres has left an idellible i'm
press upon the educational interests
of Tennessee. Those who knew him
well appreciated him for his sterling
worth; his devotion to the Hottest
ideals; his loyalty to his convictions
and his rare administrative attain
ments.

STOCK IMPROVEMENT.

Congratulation are offered J. b.
Farmer, of Wilkes Place, on the sue
cess of his hog sale. Mr.. Farmer is
entitled to the record made Tuesday,
because they are the result of no
chance or turn. of fortune. They came
after years of patient labor; intelli-
gent study of hog breeding and hog
making and infinite pains and much
thought. There is road to success
in stock improvement, but it is a
straight, narrow and rough one. Hogs,
like cattle and sheep, have been de-
veloped and improved, increased in
weight and in texture of meat and
other desirable qualities, because
men who loved the game for it's own
sake have been willing to dedicate
their efforts, their intelligence and
their time to improving the breeds.
Mr. Farmer has succeeded because
he deserved success. He is now enti-
tied to be classed not only as one of
the foremost breeders of hogs in the
state but in the entire country. 1t
takes nerve, confidence in ones own
Judgment of values, to make a sue
cess in the development of pure bred
stock. This Mr. Farmer had. When
he paid $3.50 for sow few years
ago and brought her to enrich his
breed many more conservative men
shook their heads and predicted fail
ure. But on Tuesday what must have
been his sensations when in the show
ring in open bidding he found his
Judgment more than sustained. for
one of the young gifts of this same
sow, was knocked down for $3.50, or
fifty per cent over the price paid for
her mother. But Mr.. Farmer was not
content simply to pay high prices for
the best of the breed. That, he knew,
would not of itself bring success.
Good hogs, like other good stock, re-
quire care and attention. He has
equipped his splendid farm primarily
for the care of his hogs. He gives
them attention. Day and night, in sun
shine and in storm, he stays with his
herd. He watches their habits, he
knows their peculiarities and admin
listers accordingly.
Maury county has other breeders of
pure bred Duroc hogs who are achiey-
ing success because they too are Civ.
