THE DOG TAX.

The, collection OF the tax on dogs
must be enforced. The tax affords
insurance to the flock owners against
losses from dogs and tends to encour-
age the growing of sheep inO Nanny
county. Every additional flock of
sheep brought to Columbia is an ad-
dition to the wealth of the county.
Not less than 100000 lambs ) should
leave Maury county every spring for
the markets there to receive. the best
prices paid, II, for any reasonable Pc
riod the flock masters can be assured
that there will be no losses from dogs,
animals that take from and do not,
generally speaking, contribute to the
wealth of the country, the sheep inter-
ests of this county are bound to grow
rapidly. 1t is matter that concerns
the people of the city quite as much
as it does those on the farms. There
are too many dogs in Columbia, in
fact some sections are almost over
run with worthless ours. The owners
are not paying the small tax that the
law imposes. 1t Is the duty of all the
officers to cooperate in the enforce
ment of any law. The grand jury at
its meeting next month should sound
clear note of warning to the delin-
quent owners of dogs. 1t is matter

merchants association and the XII

hARpiNc.s SPEECH.

In his speech accepting formally the
republican nomination for President,
Senator Harding pitches his campaign
on an appeal to the conservative
thought of America. He eschews all
radical Innovations and stands irrevok-
ably committed to the fundamental
principles which gave this nation birth
and under which 1t has prospered and
waxed rich and powerful. 1t is just
such a speech as one would expect
from the man. He has never been a
radical, on the contrary he has gener.
ally been regarded as reactionary.
The Herald trusts that it does not
belong to the latter class, but this Is
not time for radicalism; It is above
all time when one needs to cling
unfalteringly to the faith and ideals of
tiie'American republic.
TITS evident from Senator Harding's
keynote that he expects to pitch the
campaign on high plane. His adj
dress is digniied and his choice Of
words simple. He INDUCES In no high
tone oratorical fourishes but speaks
as practical man appealing alone TO
the reason of his hearers. He would
stand firmly planted upon the constitu-
ton of his country, confident that no
problem may arise in our national de-
velopment that cannot be solved and

DDS. He holds to the idea that our
institutions must be preserved at all

PARTISANSHjP,

Objection is made to the election of
Dan L. McGugin to the senate of Ten
nessee because he has at times voted
for the republican national ticket and
because his views on the league of ma
tions are not strictly Wilsonian. Now
it would be interesting to know what
a senator OF the Tennessee legislature
will have to do with national republic
can policies or what his views on the
league of nations would amount to?
This is revival of the old partisan
days when thirty years ago we were
wont to throw our hats in the air and
cheer Justify as democratic orators,
perspiring, red in the face, full of liq-
uor and enthusiasm, declared that the
"meanest democrat in the state is bet
ter than the best republican that ever
walked the EARTH" Happily those
days are almost gone, but opposition
to man like McGugin is simply an
echo Of those times. The people or
this state would profit immensely by
the election of McGugin and men like
him to the senate IL they voted the ma
tional republican tickle every now and
then and were violently against the
league of nations. ~
This spirit of partisanship that man.
ifests itself even in this enlightened
county OF Maury by otherwise intelli-
gent citizens who take umbrage when
ever The Herald refuses to abuse the
republican party or its nominees sim
ply on partisan grounds, is one of the
reasons why there has been less real,
constructive, modern and progressive
legislation in this state than in near
ly any state In the Union. 1t is the
explanation of why we have such a
cumbersome and inefficient system of
state and county governments, of why
nothing has ever really been done by
the state to develop its agricultural
resources through an Intelligent bu-
resu of agriculture. Folks vote too
much for candidates for ONCE on the
political records they have made and
not upon their records as citizens and
business men.
The Herald is an independent news
paper. 1t is In no sense a partisan. 1t
gladly gives the democratic party ev-
cry preference, but 1t will no longer
approve anything with a democratic |
label. or oppose the patriotic men who
are seeking to serve their country |

LEGISLATIVE VACANCIES.

That Attorney General Thompson
has strictly construed the constitu-
tion OF the state. holding ineligible
many members Of the legislature who
have been appointed to offices under
the state and federal governments, Is
evident from his opinion. Those who
are familiar,with the state for the past
quarter of d century will find, howev-
ers where II the opinion Of the attor-
hey general is sound. and 1t ought to
be good law, many members have
Kept their seats In the house and sen.
ate In direct violation Of the constitu-
ton. The practice Of appointing men,
hers of the legislature to places Of
profit under departments of the stste
government commenced over twenty
five years ago, when one or two were
appointed clerks under state officials.
Butathe practice has been growing in
recent years. u Men In the legislature
have created Offices expressly for
their own occupancy. 1t has been a
scandal and one which The Herald has
strongly protested 1t is an evil thing
for members OF the legislature to ere.
ate offices, fix the emoluments and
then use their power as members to
secure appointment to such Offices.
1T was intended by the founders of
this government, whose pattern was
used In Tennessee, to have system
OF checks and balances through the
separate departments of government,
the executive. legislative and judicial.
When q legislator undertakes to exer-
else the powers Of an executive or be-
comes an attaehe under obligations,
to an executive department, he vio-
lates the genius OF our institutions.
No one administration or political par
ty Is to blame for this situation in
Tennessee. All have been parties to
IT, but tho time has come when an
enlightened public sentiment should
insist upon loyalty to the constitution.

CARELESS OF political alignments.
These are words that The Herald
would burn into the hearts Of every
patriotic American: .a
THE menacing tendency Of the
present day is not chargeabIe wholly
to the unsettled and fevered condi.
lions caused by the war, The mani
fest weakness in popular government
lies in the temptation to appeal to
grouped citizenship for political adj
vantage. There Is no greater peril.
The constitution contemplates no
class and recognizes no group. 1t
broadly includes all the people, with
specific recognition for none, and
the highest conservation we can
make today is commital of the
Republican party to that saving con-
stitutionalism which contemplates
all America as one people, and holds
just government free from influence
on the one hand and iunmoved by
intimidation on the other.
1T would be the blindness OF folly
to ignore the activities in our own
country which are aimed to destroy
our economic system, and to COM
NIT us to the colossal tragedy which
has both destroyed all freedom and
made Russia impotent. This move
ment is not to be halted in throttled
liberties. We must not abridge the
freedom of speech, the freedom of
press, or the freedom of assembly,
because theer is no promise in re-
preston. These liberties are as sac
red as the freedom Of religious be-
lief, as inviolable as the rights of life
and the pursuit of happiness. We do
hold to the right to crush sedition, to
stifle menacing contempt for law,
to stamp out peril to the safety of
the republic or its people, when
emergency calls, because security
and the majesty of the law are the
first essentials of liberty. He who

ADMISSION WOMEN TO RESUME WORK

Scores of girls have signified their
Willingness to give all Of their time

to establish in Admission a permanent
Young Women's Christian association.
This movement, which was started
in December, was postponed until after
the rush of the holidays. Half the
amount sought in the drive has already

believed that the rest can be secured
within a few days.

results since the association was start
ed, and are determined to keep this
great factor for good for Anniston's
girls.
Nothing else and no other organiza-
tion is doing the same broad work for
all young women of the community,
and the Y. w. C. A., an outgrowth OF
conditions brought about largely by
economical changes, has become a ne
cessity of the present time.
The purpose of the Y. w. c. A. Is to
associate young women in personal
loyalty to Jesus Christ as Savior and
Lord; to promote growth in Christian
character and service through physical
social, mental and spiritual training,
and become a social force for the ex-
tension of the kingdom of God.
This fourfold development has made
the association a preventive and con-
structive agency in the community
where it has full scope; preventive be-
cause it offers to the young women the
opportunities which lessen the power
OF temptations; constructive because in
the all-round building up of character
