SECRETARY HOUSTON.

agriculture Secretary Houston was
not what in the parlanee of the day
would be termed "howling success.
He never could arouse any enthusiasm
among the farmers of the nation. He
never seemed to grasp their real prob.
lens or to understand the odds against
which they struggled. He was not OF
them. His successor, Secretary Mer
edith, a practical farmer and the as
sociate of farmers all OF his life, is a
decided improvement.
But if he was not a great success

10 orsthe thirteenth (labor) part of

see that is in any sense hostile to the
President. 1t would be a mistake to
declare for the unconditional and un.
reserved ratification of the covenant
OF the league of nations, but the dele
cation from Tennessee to the national
convention should not be hostile to
the league or the purposes which it
seeks to serve. In his vote last No.
vember for the ratification of the
peace, treaty with reservations Sena-
tor Shields had the hearty endorse
ment of The Herald, but when he re-
versed this position and joined with
Johnson and Jim Reed and the other
bitter enders who are inspired more
with hostility to the President than
they are the league, this paper could
not follow him. The vast majority
OF the democrats of Tennessee are
not with Senator Shields in his hos.
tility to the administration, nor do
they approve the turning down" of
a gallant soldier for a lucrative office
in favor of politician who did not
serve his country during the war. For
these reasons The Herald insists upon
the election of Wilson and not Shields
men to the state and national demo
cratic conventions.

TYSON DECLINES.

After complete survey of the fed
Gen. Lawrence d. Tyson, of Knoxville,
has decided that this is not an oppoi-
tune time to attempt to crafty his
ambition to be governor of Tennessee.
This announcement was expected for
although Gen. Tyson was bese .ged
from all over the State to announce
his candidacy 1t was known that many
disinterested friends were opposed
to his entry at this time 1ndtl .
The Herald has discouraged from
the first opposition to Gov. Roberts
in the democratic party this year. In
the first place for reasons heretofore
fully stated, this paper has never be-
lieved that the governor could be de-
feated for denomination. Again it
doubted after bitter factional fight
any democrat could be elected in Ten
nessee.
But it will not do, as is the Gus
tom with the governors organs, to
lightly brush aside the opposition in
the party by saying that it is made
up of soreheads and disgruntled office
seeksers. This is. patiently not true as
anyone familiar with conditions in
Tennessee knows, and If he is frank,
will promptly admit. If there is a
single solitary democrat in Maury
county whose opposition to the COVER
nor is due to disappointment in net
getting an Office that fact is not pub
licly known. 1t will not do the COVER
nor any good to. denounce chose who
oppose him as soreheads and disap-
pointed place seekers. That is not
the way to get them to vote the party
ticket in November.
No intelligent, fairminded and well
informed man will deny that there is
serious and deep seated opposition to
Gov. Roberts within his own party.
This is due to number of causes
and they ought to be removed if posi-
BILE They cannot be removed by
abuse. The method of the passage
and enforcement of the assessment
law has caused deep seated opposi-
ton Many of the governors political
appointees and associates are likewise
responsible for much of it. The gov
errors close and compact alliance
with the Shields machine in the state
iy another sore spot with the Will
son democrats and there are more
Wilson democrats than antpWiDson
democrats in Tennessee Other caus
es equally as well known have engen-
dered opposition that must be remov-
ed if the democratic party is to sue
coed in November.

GOOD AMERICANISM.

+ Vice President Marshall is sort
Of old fashioned democrat. He has
more than the average of good COM
mon sense. He is an intense Ameri-
can and while not brilliant man
what he says usually commends itself
to ones better Judgment. He thinks
clearly and honestly. He is not vic
. tim of the socialistic fads that have
become so popular in his political
circles at Washington. When he
speaks he speaks the language OF the
Common people. He is the very an
tithesis OF the high brow" the "in'
tellfgenzia" in public life.
In a recent address to the Associat-
ed Press, Mr.. Marshall made some OBJ
seryations that have attracted more
than passing interest. He drew dis
tli1ction between the native born and
the alien American. In the earlier
days when our immigrants came large
ly from England. Wales, Scotland,
Ireland and France and North of Eu-
rope countries this distinction would
have been wholly unjustiiied, because
those people We're readily assimilat-
ed. They were largely Of the same
stock that founded the republic. They
were here because they believed in
the wisdom and virtue of American
institutions. But in more recent years
the Southern and Eastern and Central
European immigration has brought
d food of people to our shores who
not only have no understanding of or
sympathy with our institutions, but
many of whom come here for the
ayowed purpose of overturning and
destroying the bulwarks Of our lib
critics.
The recent great war developed the
fact that in America there were large
masses and colonies of foreign born
and the sons of foreign born who
were not loyal to this country but
who still loved, as far as they could
love any nationality, the country OF
their birth. Post war days have
shown that thousands upon thousands
Of these people are engaged in con-
spiracies to subvert American insti-
tutions. They are u menace to the
morals and ideals and principles upon
which our nation Is founded. Now
self protection demands that
America exclude from participa-
tion in public affairs those who are
hostile to her institutions. Men
should not enjoy the protection OF
law and institutions which they de-
spise,

ties which he lacked to make him an
ideal secretary Of agriculture are not
needed in the treasury department
The secretary's recent comment or
the proposal plan for partial con
scation of wealth to pay the debt OF
the nation, is so sound so sensible
and so unanswerable that comment on
1t is unnecessary.
Discussing the proposed capital tax
he says:
"A capital tax would, in my judg.
ment be entirely impracticable and
so disturbing to industry and com
MERGE as to upset business and bring
production to standstill. The great
bulk of the capital of the country is
invested in industry and trade and is
the basis of production. To levy a
tax on the capital so invested and APP
ply it In reduction of the national debt
would involve a fundamental disloca-
ton Of business and dimunitiOn of pro
duction far out of proportion to any
advantages arising from the conse-
quent reduction in the public debt,
etc"
adoption of the Plumb plan for can
ceiling the national debt. But an even
stronger argument is contained in
this passage from Secretary Hous-
toms letter:
IAN inevitable effect of a capital
tax, moreover, would be to discourage
saving and encourage extravaganza
and wasteful spending, not only for
the time being but toa greater or less
extent for generations to come. BY,
its very nature the tax would be lev
led regardless of ability to liquidate
and pay, and would fall heaviest on
those who have, accumulated savings
by thrift and enterprise and leave I'M
touched those who. have lived up to
their incomes, thus putting premium
on waste and extravaganza and pen
atty on brains and thrift. There is
nothing in the financial position of
this government which would warrant
the adoption of so radical and danger
GUS a, measure."
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1920-05-07

vile unless he subscribed to the I'M
mersion theory of baptism or firmly
advocated the doctrine of transsub-
sanitation This Is or should be a
free country and mans right to
work for who he will and at whatever
trade or calling he can get a job, with
out regard to his political, religious
or social standing or affiliations,
should not be challenged.
The demand for "closed shop" Is
always and ever challenge to Amer
lean institutions. Whether or not a
man belongs to union, church, be.
lieves in the round or square theory of
the worlds formation ought never to
deny him the right to engage in some
useful occupation and make living
for the family. No man should ever
be refused employment because he is
a member of labor union and contra
wise the man who does not hold mem
bership in a union ought never to be
prescribed for that reason. Labor
unions have done an immense amount
Of good. They have accomplished
much, but The Herald believes they
make serious mistake when they un-
dertake to prescribe all men who do
not hold membership in them. An
unreasonable, arbitrary and drastic
demand for a closed shop will not re-
suit in advancing the interest of
union labor.

SIZE OF THE HOUSE.

In his efforts to prevent a still fur
Their increase in the membership Of
the national house of representatives
Champ Clark will have the sympathy
and support of intelligent, patriotic
citizens who care more efficiency in
government than they do for state
pride. The house with it's 435 men,
bers is already an awkward, unwieldy
and cumbersome body, where little
real consideration is ever given to
matters of legislation.
The house membership should be
reduced to 300 members and kept at
that number. 1t is a great pity that
some limit was not placed on the mem
bership of the house by the constitu-
ton. Every time the census is taken
and it is necessary to re-apportion the
membership an increase is made in
the number of members so that there
will be no reduction in the delegation
from any state, but provision will be
made for the growth of population in
the other states. This process re-
peated every ten years has increased
the number of members to point
where anything like deliberate consid-
GRAFTON of questions on the floor of the
house Is out of the question.
1t is absolutely true that the larg-
e r tie constituency the = higher the
standard of representatives. If Ten
nessee, for example, sent only five
members to the national house, it is
altogether probable that they would
be on the whole ADLER men than they
are now. At any rate they would have
higher sense of the tremendous re-
sponsibility that rested upon them as
resentatives of their state and ma
ton
