REPRESENTATION.

Too long this country has neglected
REPRESENTATION. Timber has been vast
ed with prodigal hand. The finest
forests in the world have been given
over to reckless exploitation and no
plans have been made for refores-
tration. A short sighted policy has
been pursued, one that is bound to
plague the people in few years. AL
ready as a result of the scarcity of
timber building materials have reach
ed PURGE that is almost prohibitive.
The country needs a great deal of
building. Very few school houses arc
adequate to modern needs. All over
the country farmers are in need of
new and better barns, of improved
homes, but the prices for Building ma
terials are at such figures that every
thing but the absolutely necessary
structures are being postponed al
though there is little promise of i'm
proyement.
The paper shortage is due in some
part to the ever increasing scarcity
of wood pulp In some of the north
eastern sections where the great pa
per mills are located as much as TWEEN
ty-five dollars a cord has been paid
for wood, price that a few years ago
would have been ridiculed. 1t is es-
timated that the available supply
without demonstration, will be ex-
hausted within a quarter of century
at the present rate of consumption,
The lands covered in large part by the
forests from which wood pulp is made,
can be more profitably used for grow
ing trees than for any other purpose.
A wise governmental policy of refor-
estration would not only assure an
abundant supply for the future but it
would prove most profitable to the ma
tional treasury. There is time, now
that we have wasted so much of our
natural resources, for the adoption Of
wise policy of conservation.

ton between the life on the continent
than that in England than the respect
paid TO Sunday. In this country from
the time OF the pioneers and down I'M
tilrecently we have had the same hal
lowed reverence for that day that our
ancestors manifested. II may be that
in our development we have found
that Sunday as an Institution is not
worth the respect and observance that
1t has additionally received, but The
Herald seriously doubts it. This is
and has always been a Christian ma
ton, but will 1t continue to be SO if
its cherished institutions are so incon-
sequential that we cannot afford the
time to observe them?
Obviously the limiting of Sunday to
the hours between ten thirty
o'clock and twelve thirty o'clock
was made with the idea that
it would enable the people to at
tend church. 1t was sort of sop to
the regular Sunday morning services
But what Of the Sunday school? AS
between the Sunday school and the
morning church services, particularly
for the young people, The Herald
makes bold to say that 1t were better
that the church service should go into
the discard. Practically all of the
members of the churches these days
are recruited through the Sunday
schools. 1t would probably not be an
exaggeration to say that three-fourths
of the members who have joined the
churches of Maury county within the
past ten years have gone in through
the Sunday school. Now when this
training school for the church is dis
carded whence will come the recruits,
hardly from the ranks Of those who in
sist on plying their week day voca-
lions during the hours set apart for
Sunday school.

OUR REPUBLICAN FRIENDS.

1t was General Grant who once re-
marked that the democrats could al
ways be depended upon to act "the
id fool at the proper time" Some
thing in the republican situation in
Tennessee brings these words rather
forcibly to mind. All is not as serene
among the G. 0. p of Tennessee as
the leaders would have one believe.
With the best prospects for nation
al victory that the party has known in
many years, with the situation In Ten
nessee none too rosy for the demo-
Gratis, the republicans are spending
good deal of their energy in reviying
old time factional feuds.
In the state there is the contest be-
tween Former Senator Sanders and
ex-Mayor Jesse Littleton for control
of the party organization. In lot of.
the counties internal differences are
disturbing the relations of many re-
publicans. Several counties have al.
ready had split conventions and in at
least one county three delegations
will attend the state convention, each
claiming regularity.
The truth about the matter is that
the republicans in Tennessee, and
particularly the factional leaders, care
more about the distribution of federal
patronage than they do about state
affairs. Each factlonal leader is
striving for position that will put
him next to the pie counter when the
loaves and fishes are distributed.
1t has long been the opinion of many
good citizens of all political parties
that 1t would be an advantageous
thing for Tennessee if there was a
strong and vigorous opposition party
Our politics have been too one sided
Better government would result if
the political parties were more even
ly divided. Many scandals that have
marked democratic administrations in
Tennessee would never have develop
ed If the margin at the polls between
that party and its opponent had been
closer. But there is little hope of
building up strong. virile, respect
able opposition party in the state
as long as the republicans manifest
more interest in the distribution OF
federal patronage than they do in the
proper settlement of state issues.

LIMITING SUNDAY.

According to the solemn enactment
OF the board of mayor and aldermen,
Sunday in Columbia hereafter is linn
tied two hours. Certain restric-
lions heretofore placed upon secular
business on the ordained day of rest
are abolished except for two hours.
Sunday, an institution heretofore held
in the highest regard by the Anglo.
Saxon, is surely not worth much if we
are not to cease our money changing
and usual pursuits for but two hours
to observe it.
The observance of the Sabbath day
has always been distinctive feature
of the Anglo-Saxon civilization. Moth
ing has drawn finer line of demarka-

like this: The politicians have been
running the country for several de-
cades and they have just about run
II in hole. They have had all sorts
Of opportunities for service, but they
have abused them. Their horizon
has been narrowed TO selfish and
partisan view Of everything. IL is
time that the plain people took hold
of the affairs of state and admins
tered them. II is more important
that the president should be a man
of vision, of executive ability, of fid-
city to American institutions than
that he should call himself a demo
crat Of a republican or progressive.

the farms, the revolution in our farm

the car robbed here. so the liquor
could be sold for higher prices than
