2 The Soul of Democracy.

There are no new social problems,
for all the problems" of all the ages
are just one-the problem of an un-
realized but irresistible Democracy.
All the battles that have ever been
fought and all the bloodsl.ed which
has stained the green earth, and all
the struggles, social as well as mill
tary, through the centuries have been
but for one end-that the common lot
might come to their own rights,
filched from them through the proc
esses of the years.
Through the centuries this strug-
gle has been led by various slogans
with but one meaning. Now it is
Each one is to count for one and no
man for more than one" Now with
Kant it declares always treat hui
manity, whether in yourself or an
other, as a person and never as a
thing" Now it purposes, with JUS
tinian, to "Have that steady and
abiding will to give to each man
what belongs to him." or it declares
with Tertullian "The thing we must
not do to an emperor we must not do
to any one else" or it becomes loudly
vocal in great Socialistic masses cry
ing "All for each and each for all. !"
But the genius of this rising tide
of the hopes of the common lot was
the gripping words of the Man OF
Galilee. From His manger cradle to
His cross his whole life was in the
interest of democracy. When divin-
ity passed by the kings and princes
and incarnated itself in . peasant
carpenter, notice was served on spe-
cial privilege that its days were num-
bered, however much delayed. The
early Christians were not driven into
the arenas because of their theology.
but because of their sociology Rome
did not care what a man believed
every altar was welcomed to her sew
en- hills to centralize her empire. But
here came religion which was not
content with new idea of God, but
new idea of man and his social re-
lations. Here was faith which de-
clared that slave was as good as his
master; that the ten thousand slaves
slain in the arena in single celebra-
ton by Tiberius were his brothers
and equals as sons of God. Here
was sect that declared that Child
born in manger and working at a
Carpenters bench was Divine, pre-
rogative that had hitherto been
claimed by choice gentlemen as Nero
Caligula and Trajan. No wonder
Rome rocked to its foundations and
there arose the cry. ITO the lions
with the Christians.

Death of W. E. Scates.

The death of a well known citizen
of Union City, w. E. Scates, took
place at his residence on Home street
Sunday morning. Nov. 20, 1920, at
$3.50 o'clock.
Mr.. Scates had not been in very
robust health for some years, but he
was as we'll as usual until he got up
from bed during the night and lay
down again to rest. Mrs. Scates was
awake and startled by her husbands
breathing. The physician was called,
but death had entered the chamber
and the life of Mr.. Scates was drawn
to a close.
William Ellis Scates was born in
Carroll County Nov. "a, 1S49. He
came with his parents to Union City
at the close of the Civil War. He en-
tered a drug store and educated him
self in pharmacy, afterwards becom-
ing druggist and proprietor OF a
store in the buildings at the north
east intersection of the railroads OPP
posite the passenger station. He was
active and engaged in business with
the oliver Drug Co. until he died.
On May Z, 1878, Mr.. 5cates was
united in marriage to Miss Victoria
Tams at the home of the bride near
Hickman. KY. Mrs. Scates and four
children survive the union. The sons
are A. J. and w. H. Scates, of Union
City: S. E. Scates. of Memphis, and
their sister, Mrs. P. B. Curtin, OF
| Hickman.
Mr.. Scates joined the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church when a young
man. He was faithful in attendance
and helpful in the worship and work
of the church. He was very congenl-
al and social in his contact with men
He espoused and entertained convic-
tiona in public matters, but a
broadminded spirit made him gener'
Gus to others. A few days before his
death Mr.. Scates made some COM
ments, saying he felt that in some
measure he had contributed to the
good Of his people and to the pleasure
of his friends. The token of respect
of numbers of his friends at the flu
neral fully justified these remarks.
He was an integral part of, es
pecially, the old-time Union City
which has always been and is yet one
of the most democratic and God-fear
ing people in the world. He was
good man, and with the friends and
relatives, we drop a tear to his mem

of all these things organized labor in
the United States deserted the party
in the last election and east its ballot
for the party which has stood with
its face to capitalism and its back to
labor. Talk about socialism. 1t is
cant and hypocrisy. There is no
speculation in thine eyes which thou
dost glare with; there is no marrow
in thy bones"
There is no practical reality in So
cialism. 1t is delusion and a snare.
We have too much government and
socialism now. In a large measure
Wilson's administration was socialis-
tic and the socialists were false.
What would socialism be il social
lists did not support the government?
without apology we insist that in
one respect the Republican platform
was better than the Democratic plat
form in that it did not have so many
government ownership and function
ing declarations.
Socialism has been killed by So
cialists.

A vacuous Policy.

There is one thing about the re-
cent election that confirms our inn
pressions and cementS our faith in
independent government.
There was once something appeal
ing in the idea of government trustee
ship and ownership. Germany was
making an exhibition to the balance
of the world of the merits of the sys-
TEN. They had government owner
ship and dictatorship in almost every
thing and yet the political faith was
not strong enough in these ideals to
uphold them in the face Of Prussian
aristocracy. Germany was the head
of social democracy and those people
laid down their faith upon the altar
of militarism.
So much for tho crucial test in the
war. The recent election offers an
other. The only friend, the friend
In need and the friend indeed, to or
ganized labor, was the Democratic
administration just coming to a
close. This is the only administra-
tion in which labor has become prac-
tically independent and thru which
it has received compensations never
before realized. The Democratic par
ty has stood for social democratic
system in government. II has ex-
tended that system all that any party
In power has been able to do.
And with all this and In the face

The Schools.

are priating the report of tie educa-
tional conference. 1t seems to be
one of the first duties of the confer
ence to ask for mere school tax.
Whether this conference il a branch
of what was known as the school
lobby is rot important, but 1t seems
that every function of government is
gcarod too high, Notwithstanding the
fact that the high cost of government
has destroyed one of the great ma
tional political parties, at least for
the present. in the State and nation.
1t is nothing more nor less than
a case of extravaganza in government
and taxation that sent the Democrat
ic party down in defeat under pop
ular majority so tremendous and
overwhelming trat it shook the foun-
dations of American politics.
In Tennessee an effort was made
in economy of State government, but
the Hobbies and political organiza-
lions broke thru the lines and taxes
mounted until storm of votes swept
the administration from the face Of
the earth and dashed to atoms the
ideals of the Solid South.
There were no political issues in
the campaign. Not even the League
of Nations stirred mems and women's
patriotism 1t was riotous orgy OF
reckless waste and destruction of the

This is tax to increase the pay OF
teachers. The teachers should have
proper compensation, but that COM
pensation should come from the tax
already in force. The present scheme
of school tax should be revised to
eliminate duplication in the high
school branches and this money di-
verted TO the common schools and the
pay of teachers.
If the State is to continue provid-
ing for county high schools then the
three State normal schools should be
forced to drop high school instruc-

The Auto Builds the Road.

Certain engineering authorities ex-
press the opinion that ten million dol
lars is about all the money any state
can wisely expend on highways in a
single year. Our highway department
inclines to that opinion at least for
Minnesota. If the Babcoek amend
ment is adopted next November the
Legislature of 1921 will doubtless pass
a law taxing motor vehicles for the re-
tirement of the bonds. By January,
1921, it is believed there will be no less
than three hundred thousand motor
vehicles in the state. at the proposed
average tax rate of eighteen dollars
each fund of nearly five and half
million dollars annually will be raised.
With the federal aid there will thus be
an annual fund Of more than eight mil
lion dollars for highway construction,
which may grow to ten millions with
in a few years.
With such an income it may prove
unnecessary to issue more than the
first years instalment of bonds, or
possibly no bonds at all The bond
amendment does not compel the state
to issue one hundred millions in bonds
nor any specified amount. It merely
gives the state the power to stand be-
hind the construction of system of
first-class highways, and to levy a
motor, vehicle tax that eventually will
!, pay for it. Minneapolis Journal.
