EDITOR IN POLITICS.

In the recent Alabama primary
some half dozen more or less able
. and brilliant editors who were scandi-
dates for the more or less empty and
Expensive honor of representing the
state at San Francisco were defeated.
They all met a like fate regardless Of
their factional alignment. Although
: the average editor probably renders
more public service than any one in
the community he is seldom appreci-
atsd. III he worked with view to a
steward in public appreciation he
l.wonld soon quit the task. The peo-
epls for whom he labors in season and
cont, for whom he wages one battle
after another, seldom show any sort
of appreciation They accept it as a
matter OF course. They are ready at
the irst opportunity to "cuss" the edi-
tor II he happens to disagree with
some pet scheme that they are selfish
I ly trying to put over" although they
may have but lately sung his praises
because of some advantage that they
reaped from desperate and heart
breaking struggle that he had made.
An editor or publisher, the CONTROL
ing spirit in a newspaper, has no bus
mess seeking public prefermen. When
he becomes candidate for any Office
ahis' usefulness as an editor or pub
1tsherasis either altogether destroyed
or very much impaired Holy writ
tells US that mo man can serve two
masters" All Of US known that this
2is true II an editor is always think
ing OF the effect on the popular mind
Of a position that he may take, of the
result OF such a course in promoting
his PERSONAL POPULARITY he soon loses
All courage OF expression. He be-
comes a trimmer and time server.
The history of Tennessee is full of
Illustrations of this statement. News
papers that have editors or publishers
constantly seeking public; preferment
seldom have any fixed chart; they are
saihfoo often silent on real and vital
issues and frequently raise a great
cloud III dust over some question that
does mott amount to anything at all.
Az sditos who seeks public office gets
susta about what Is coming to him when

ion s.stl Il.

. MADE A MISTAKE.

Etst
II was mistake, following the able
explanation and address of Chairman
William w. House, of the state high
way commission, for the county court
to pass the English resolution. There
was no answer to Mr.. Houses argu.
nent for the awarding Of the contract
in this county, and none was proffer-
ed. 1t 10 of course true, as was stated,
that 1t costs lot OF money to build
the permanent highways and seeming.
~, the benefits are enjoyed by COM
paratiyely few, yet the method pro-
yided by the state highway commits
sion 10 the only one that insures Mau-
ny county any share whatever of the
funds that are paid into the state and
federal treasures by the taxpayers
of this county.
: To repudiate the contract with the
state highway commission and to an
roAnce. now that this county will not
cooperate with the commission in the
construction of any roads means that
Maury county taxpayers will continue
to pay state and federal road taxes to
construct highways in Lauderdale and
Hawkins and Giles counties with no
resulting benefit whatever. Maury
county cannot afford to take that sort
OF an attitude. 1T cannot afford to put
itself 81, opposition to a system that
mas been generally accepted by all
Progressive communities.
THE Herald appreciates fully that
many OF the justices who voted to dis
solve any connection between the
county and the highway commission
III so far as this contract was concern
d,probably a majority, voted the SEN
timents OF their constituents. 1t will
even 60 further and state that per-
haps every member, with one excep'
ton, in his vote reflected the will Of
his constituents at this time, but the
responsibility was upon the members
of the court and they understood the
situation better than any one else
and they should have, accepted the full
measure Of that responsibility and vot-
ed down the English resolution Many
pSOkressive measures, the benefits OF
which are now being enjoyed by the
people OF. the county, could never
have been adopted If at the time they
we're proposed the county court had
avoided its responsibility.
II Chairman House makes good his
statement that regardless OF the ac
ton OF the court the highway 1r
which the contract has been let will
be built as planned, The Herald is alb
sointely snre that the remainder OF
the original project will be carried to
a completion. The highway that will
be constructed will be an object les
son 10 the people that will not be lost.
So. insistent will be the demand. once
a beginning is made for other permai
nsnt hishways that public sentiment
win force further bond issues.

the best paper in the world. There Is
certain to be reaction and an ad-
vance. The present wild scramble
over the county to unload stocks of
merchandise is doubtful economic
move, and is due largely to a fear
that credit will be so debated that
bills cannot be promptly met unless
stocks are converted at once into
cash.
It would be mistake to expect
any immediate permanent reduction
in the cost Of living. Despite the sell
ing of stocks at lower prices there Is
no surplus of many necessities in the
country. There is actually shortage
of many staples. Maury county is an
agricultural county. Its whole well be-
ing depends upon the prosperity of it's
agricultural interests. There is no
reason to believe, with lessened acrs-
age and curtailed production that the
farmers will haveeto sell at sacrifice
prices. On the contrary higher prices
for farm products are altogether
likely. Unless these circumstances
there is no occasion for any pessim.

A GREAT ADDRESS.
One of the most notable messages
ever given to the people of this Sec
ton was the scholarly, mastery and
eloquent address of DR.. Edwin Minis
at the commencement of the High
School on Thursday. Dr.. Minis pos.
sesses rare gifts. He is truly man
OF vision. He loves humanity and he
is always ready to use his gifts in the
service OF his fellowman. He has
wrought wonderfully well in the lives
Of many of the youth whom he has
trained. He is a public servant and
his appeal, so elOquently made, for
public service comes from one who
has right to make It, 1t fell from
the lips of one who can be judged by
his works.
DIR. Minis truly said that there is
more in this world besides money
There are many things worth while
that money cannot buy and for the
absence Of Which money can offer no
compensatiohs. The Herald can fully
agree with him that the boys and girls
of this county are incomparably our
greatest uhdeyeioped resources.
Their proper development along right
moral intellectual and civic lines is a
challenge to those OF this day, one
which. II not accepted, win mean per
II to the future Of our country.

Of the restoration of the constitution
Of 1857, and describing Francisco Viii
las the "the only leader who disinter-
estedly and periodically combats and
will continue to combat for the well
fare of the people and for the re-es-
Enlistment of constitutional order"
10 generals, including Villas chief of
staff, and more than so otheY officers
and number of civilians, have issued
a manifesto to the Mexican people,
announcing their positionin the pres
ent Mexican situation.
The manifesto, copy of which
reached Washington, was issued at
Hacienda Salacies, district of Jimi-
neg, Chihuahua. 1t states that 1.-The
Aqua Prieta plan, which is to be the
standard of the new, liberal constitu-
tional revolution, like that of Guada-
lupe, will be g. source of discord for
the future, and in consequence will
bring serious evil to the country"
1t further states that the signers of
the manifesto want the reign of de-
mocracy, true government of the peo-
pie by the people, and not that the
succession of tyrants be sought by
means of treason, intrigue, disloyalty,
cowardice and crime, assassinating
some to elevate someone else"
Product of new military COUP
the manifesto says, ''the regime
which it intends to establish itself
In the country with the same pas
sions, the same jealousies, the same
ambitions and the same mistakes. 1t
will be important to restore peace IN
the republic"
The manifesto declares that the VII
listas endangered to join the Sonora
revolt at its inception, hoping that
1t shared the same ideals and princi-
plies as their own, but. it states, "un-
fortunately our good faith, our hon.
esty and aur patriotism have been
met with intrigues, disloyalty and
reachery, and with the most absolute
disregard for justice that has beer
and still is ours"

In the light of Freedoms sun,
Proud to see his emblem floating
'Gainst the vaulted azure sky;
Hear him shrek his proud approval
