BENEFITS OF STATION.

Just as a source of advertising to
Maury county the Middle Tennessee
Experiment Station this year has
more than justified its cost. Its loca-
ton here made Columbia and this
county the center of the agricultural
activities of the middle section of the
state and more agricultural news
goes out from Columbia than all of
the other counties of Middle Tennes
see combined. This of course is due
in no small degree to the intelligent
and appreciative support given agri-
culture by The Herald, but without the
station news from here would not
have the same interest to the remain
der of the state. This county never
made a. better investment than when
u expended money to secure the loca.
ton of the station. In the years that
are to, come its own farmers will be

LETTER OF GOV. cox,

1t Is APPARENT from the letter of Gov.
Cox to Mr.. Evans, of Shelbyville, that
the position of the democratic nomi.
nee on the suffrage issue has been
grossly and shamefully perverted BY
the suffragists. Instead Of advising
members to violate their oath Of
tealty. to the constitution of the state
Gov. Cox does not. hesitate to express
approval OF the clause that forbids
ratification at this time and he goes
further and says that the same clause
should be in every constitution. II
this prohibitory clause Is 4 good, SO
good that 1t should be In all constitus
lions, of course Gov. Cox feels that II
is binding on the conscience of the
members. Otherwise it would not be
worth writing. This puts the demo
cratic nominee in a much more favoraf
BILE light before the country and had
his true position been sooner an.
nounced would have saved him from
much Of the criticism, that in the
light Of this letter, is not justified.

constitution Of our state, the tradi-
tions Of the South and are unmoved
by pleas of political expediency, were
represented at Nashville by sena.

their firm and resolute stand. They
have never had as many friends in
the county as they have today; they
have never been more highly appre-
ciated than they are now. 1t took
courage and devotion to principle to
resist the lobby that sought to de
stroy the constitution, but these
qualities the Maury county members
had and they displayed them. In the
future no man can point the finger
Of scorn at Maury county and charge
that it had any responsibility for this
inject surrender to every priciple dear
to democracy and to the South at the
behest Of politicians like Cox and
Roberts.

POLITICAL ExPEDiENcY.

No argument except that of pOliti.
cal expediency has been or could be
advanced by the advocates of ratifi.
cation in violation of the constitution
CT Tennessee. Politicians outside of
Tennessee, from the party standard
bearers on down, the governor of the
state and other powerful influences,
have not hesitated to ignore the con-
stitdtion, advise members to violate
their ,oaths Of office, all for political
expediency. The trouble with the
party nominees in the nation, with
Gov. Roberts and Senator Mcclellan
and the others is that they are all
cpportunists. To them the exped
iency argument is the only one worth
listening to. They will find, and par.
tcularly Gov. Roberts who will be
voted for only in Tennessee, that his
cause has not been strengthened by
the part that he has played in this
contest. The Herald believes that
the governor allowed the political
opportunists, reinforced by his
enemies who have sought to get him
IN another trap as they did in the
Shields affair, to overpersuade him.
He has made a mistake that he will
be sure to regret.
1t is a sad commentary on present
political conditions that a legislature
of Tennessee will surrender its con-
victions and violate its oath and
destroy it's constitution in order. to
promote the interests and fortunate
Of politicians in and outside OF the
state. @t

1t Is not new remedy. 1t is almost
as old as American parliamentary

Tennessee was four score years ago
end 1t was led by man who was
great enough and patriotic enough to
afterward serve as president of the
United States. That fillibuster was
purely political. It involved no great
principle Of free government. This
does. Constitutional government and
the sancitity OF mems oath's are at
stake. The men who are temporarily
soiourning In Alabama are patriots,
one of them served CALAMITY in the
Confederate army, another was an
officer in the Union army. They are
just as devoted to principle today as
they were when they barred their
breasts to the bullets sixty years ago
1t comes with poor grace rom a
newspaper that justifies oath break

was not involved. It does not Tic
