Good Platform.

II was scarcely necessary that the
Democratic nominees for the legis-
lature from Shelby county should take
pains TO go on record favoring the
repeal Of the public utilities law
| This law is in general disfavor in all
municipalities in the state where
public service corporations have fran
chises.
The News Scimitar protested
against the passage of the law at a
time when little intelligent leader
ship might have prevented its enact
ment. Every objection we raised to
the passage of the law has been vim
dicated. We believe the law should
be repealed, and the candidates for
the legislature have treasured the
timid ones that they do not favor its
retention, Notwithstanding there was
no doubt of their attitude concerning
the law.
Another plank in the Democratic
us ASlhtiNV PldAlVlHl - lIlt pllb ut-
claring in favor of the election of
the judge of the police court by the
people, We have believed all along
that it was wrong to fix quota of
revenue to be raised for the benefit
Of the city through collection of fines
and forfeitures in The police court
The present system is one that has
grown up with the city. and no doubt
public interest will be served by a
separation of the Judge of the police
court from the administrative de-
partment Of the city.
On the whole the candidates and
the platform will commend them
selves to the voters as progressive
and devoted to the city's welfare.

Support Or Silence

An encouraging report, predicting
Democratic victory in Tennessee by
a majority of at least $4,000 in the
November election, comes out of the
Democratic headquarters at Nash
willie.
Rumors that Tennessee is on the
verge of deserving the Democratic
fold have made their regular quad
rennial appearance. Gov. Cox will
carry the state by the usual Demo-
cratic majority. Gov Roberts will
be elected by the usual Democratic
majority. Democratic nominees for
the legislature in Democratic coun-
ties will be elected as usual
With the election only two weeks
off, there should be more activity on
the part of the Democrats from this
section of the state. In Shelby coun-
ty we have politics with us as usual,
There should be more interest mani
tested in behalf of the Democratic
nominees by the citv and county Of
ficeholders.
II is evident that some of the vot-
ers who went into the August pri-
mary obligated to support the NOM
inee are not regarding their pledges
seriously. Shelby county ordinarily
gives the Democratic candidates a
large majority There is no reason
why they should not receive the
usual vote this year.
If the county fails TO come through
and support the nominees as it
should, the responsibility is going to
be placed where 1t belongs. The
Democratic candidates are entitled to
the votes of Democrats, and we pro-
pose to find out before this election
is over whether officials who were
elected as Democrats are going to
support the nominees or give aid and
comfort to the opposition by silence

Every X-dodger in the state is
making a fight on one pretext or

the bottom Of the disaffection is the

1919. making provision for carrying

or mother were at home they might
want to keep me for dinner or sup
per-"
"Oh, I guess they wouldn't said
the little Fox boy, no longer crying.
| Anyhow, if you take me sol can
see my house, ] can go the rest Of
| the way myself"
So Uncle Wiggily took hold of the
paw of the little Fox boy, who was
named Snibbie, and together they
walked along.
| "Oh, l am so hungry" said Snib-
bic, after a while. Il wish had some
thing to eat. Have you anything.
Uncle Wiggily?" he asked, looked at
the glass Of jelly in the bunny gen
| tleman's paw.
We'll, yes, ! have something to
eat" slowly answered Mr.. Longears.
But it's for Mrs. Wibblewobble, and
| ! hardly think---oh, dear me-" sud
denly cried the rabbit gentleman. II
can't bear to see you hungry! Here,
III give you some Of this jelly. and
III get another glass from Nurse
Jane for the duck lady"
Uncle Wiggily sat down on a log,
| and Snibbie, the little Fox boy, sat
down beside him. The bunny gen
| tleman opened the glass of jelly and,
with clean stick for a fork, gave
some of the sweet. purple preserve
| to Snibbie.
ooh, yum, Yum! How good that
Isl" said Snibbie. Now I'm not as
| hungry as ! was
Now. While Uncle Wiggily was be
ing kind to Snibbie. and feeding him,
along through the woods came sneak
ing the bad old Fuzzy Fox. the father
of the little Fox boy. The big Fox
saw Uncle Wiggily's ears sticking
! up over the tops of the bushes.
"Ah! Here's where get nice rab-
bit for supper" said Mr.. Fuzzy Fox.
Softly he crept nearer and nearer.
But just as he was going to jump
out and grab the bunny, Mr.. Fox saw
Uncle Wiggily feeding Sn!bbie some
jelly.
ooh, this will never do" said Mr.
! Fox. Il can't jump out and grab and
nip Unc@ Wiggily when he is being
| to let him go this time. Come, Snib-
bic, ri take you home" said Mr.
Fox. stepping out from behind the
| bush.
"Oh, my l didn't know you were
here" said Uncle Wiggily, and he
! was so surprised that he almost
dropped the glass of jelly as he
| jumped up to run,
| Don't be afraid" said Mr.. Fuzzy
| Fox. 1T would be very wrong, in
! deed, if ! should harm you after you
! have been so kind to Snibbie. Trot
along, Uncle Wiggily. You have
nothing to fear from me. And thank
you for having brought Snibbie this
far"
| Then the Fox Daddy took his little
| boy homo. after Uncle Wiggily had
given Snbbe the rest of the glass
Of Jelly, and the bunny vncle hoped
back to his hollow stump bungalow

right, YOU see.

off the stoop and go to sleep in the

A Splendid Victory.

The campaign for 100000 in sub
scriptions from the Memphis public.
TO secure the removal Of the Pres
byterian university from GAINESVILLE
TO Memphis, was started under ad-
verse circumstances. II Is gratifying
that the campaign has closed sue
cessfully. But the extent OF the sue
cess should not he measured by the
amount OF the subscriptions. but
rather by prevailing financial con-
ditions in the community.
At almost any other time in the
past six years campaign for halt
million dollars for such an enter
prise would have been Il matter OF
hours rather than Of days. The
fact that the campaign succeeded In
the face OF depressing circumstances
affecting the lumber and cotton mar
kets. is a tribute to the generosity
and unbounded optimism OF the peo-
pie of Memphis
In addition to the $685. 600 sub
scribed by the people of Memphis.
the Presbyterian denomination will
give 100000. and the college will
bring a substantial endowment fund
along with tangible assets valued at
several hundred thousand dollars.
The college will be a powerful fac
tor in the moral and intellectual de-
velopment of the community. The
faculty has as its head DR.. Diehl, a
gentleman of splendid ability. who
has associated with him many of the
leading educators of the country. He
will find a fertile field for his work.
No greater achievement for the bene-
tit Of the boys and girls in this COM
munity has been accomplished in a
generation.
At the head of those who made
1t possible for Memphis to secure
this splendid institution is Clarence
Saunders, merchant and philan-
thropist who is not even Presby-
terrain but member OF the Method
list church. Except for the generosity
OF men ike Mr. Saunders. 1t would
not have been possible to raise the
required amount Of money But
the subscriptions of others who gave
less in amount. but not less proper
tionately, are deserving of no less
praise.
DR.. A. Il. Curry. in his quiet, unos-
tentatious way. with his subscription
exceeding his financial ability and
his ceaseless efforts, provided an
ideal example of the force and in
fluence n minister can exert in a
community.
Too much can not be said Of the
splendid manner in which the cam
paign was conducted under the able
direction of DR. S. w. McGll. He
put his whole heart into the enter
prise and gave it the best there was
in him. Everyone engaged in the
is entitled TO the thanks of
the community for a splendid service
