For Honest Politics

On Friday last was published u list
Of thirty-one Republicans who, after
a severe mental struggle, had decided
that they could vote the Republican
ticket this year. Today is printed a
much longer list of Republicans who
have decidede that they cannot. 1t is
not necessary to make comparison
OF the two sets of names. The second
list, it is obvious, stands for some
thing positive. The first was of the
nature of merely negative proof. That
is to say, Mr.. Hughes, Mr.. Root and
others stated that they could not find
sufficient reason for abandoning the
party Of their lifelong allegiance.
This is good as far as it goes; but
when Republicans of equal ability and
of at least equal conscientiousness
sign a public statement that the
course of the Republican candidate
for the Presidency has compelled them
to quit the party for this election, it
is plain that their action has the
greater political significance. The
reason is implied in the saying that
knowledge, however limited, must al
ways be more weighty than ignorance,
however extensive. The thirty-one
Republicans do not know why they
should give up Harding. But the bolt
ing Republicans do know.
Even Senator Harding himself be-
gins to appear to know. At least, he
knows that he must do something to
head off, if possible, the revolt of
Republicans in the East. According
ly, he proceeded to Indianna to swal-
low the words which he had uttered
in Iowa. Having declared in the lat
ter State that he wants nothing but
the outright and entire rejection" of
the League, he announced in the for
mer that he was in entire agreement
with the illustrious thirty-one that the
League, when safeguarded, is the very
thing this country wants and must
have. And then, as if dimly aware
how this confusing of black and white
would strike his hearers and readers,
Senator Harding added, fatuously:
"There is no Inconsistency involved" :"
But at any rate there is intellectual
degradation involved There is in
volved an insult to the intelligence of
his fellow-citieZns,
On this point the thing has long
since passed out of all uncertainty.
The feeling about Harding's extraor-
dinary performances in cheerfully
holding and preaching directly oppo-
site opinions can now be observed on
all sides. Some laugh. others are
shagrined. nv All wonder whas ne wlh

GOING TO COLLEGE.

Never have there been SO many
boys and girls entered in colleges ana
universities as there have been this
year. Reports from almost every Uni
yersity In the land indicate a record
breaking enrolment. The same is
true of the Junior colleges. A remark
able feature of the situation Is the
tremendous increase in the past two
years in the number of girls who are
taking the university course. The
university graduate among women was
somewhat OF a rarity few years ago,
but soon they will be as numerous as
those Of the opposite sex who have
received a full college course. 1t is
all mighty fine thing. The nation
needs more trained leaders. The day
has passed when success is easy In
life without an education. University
training broadens and develops the
intellect aud makes better citizens.
1t is encouraging to know that there
is a popular appreciation of the value
OF education that has never been
known in this country It is good
augury for the future of our nation.

LIQUOR SELLING.

If persistent reports are true there
Is altogether too much liquor selling
in Maury county. 1t is not confined to
any section. It is going on in this
locality; it is said to be open at Mt.
Pleasant and Spring Hill people are
genuinely aroused over the situation
there. If the county officers were a
little more vigilant and If bootleggers
were prosecuted more vigorously this
situation could be improved. Liquor
selling ought to be broken up. 1t is a
menace to the peace and safety of the
community: the bootleggers are usu-
ally of the lowest type of men who are
enemies of society and deserve the
severest penalties of the law. 1t has
been long, hard, expensive battle to
outlaw the liquor traffic and assured
ly the laws should not be nullified
through failure upon the part of the
officials charged with their enforce
ment to stamp out Illicit liquor sell
ing.

1t appears that there was little jus

vile street railway employees. They
voluntarily quit the service of the com
pany, not, as they claim to get more
money, but to obtain the closed shop
1t is quite clear that they would not
have done this had they not succumb
ed to the persuasive eloquence and
fiery speeches of the foreign agita
tors, The paid agitator lives by stir

employe. He must do something to
make show of earning his pay. 1t is
not proven that the agitators in Nash
vile directly counselled violence, but
they did so by plain interference.
The street car company not only had
the right, but it was its plain duty to
operate its cars. They perform nee
essary public service. The company
and its employees who remained faith
full were entitled to the protection OF
the law. Ii union labor is to be above
the law, If it can defy constitutional
guarantees then our system Is fail

ment should be to guarantee life and
liberty and the protection Of property.
No sophistry OF the agitator can dis

be superior to the laws Of the land, it
would not be long until some strong

AN AMERICAN FIRST.

Senator Myers, of Montana, has de-
nounced the democratic ticket and in
a statement issued at Washington
urges the democrats ii his state to
support the republican state and con.
gressional tickets, This rather unus-
ual stand Of. a senator who was elect
ed by the democratic party is due to
the fact that the recent primaries of
the party were captured by the Non
Partisan League who nominated all of
the officers with one exception. The
triumph of the ticket would be vic
tory for the Non-Partisan League and
not for the democratic party. 1t would
impose on Montana the wild socialis-
tic schemes that are being tried out
In North Dakota where the league
captured the republican party. No
man can belong to the Non-Partisan
League and be democrat. They are
as opposite as the poles. The differ
ence between the two parties is much
more pronounced than that between
the democratic and republican par
ties.
No man can be socialist and also
democrat. Senator Myers is plac-
ing principle above party organiza.
ton He is an American first and
partisan afterward. He has manifest
cd an independence of thought and
action all too rare among the party
leaders. He realizes that his course
in "bolting" the regular ticket may
sound his political death warrant but
he fears not to follow the plain path
OF duty.
Both Senator Myers, of Montana,
and Senator Thomas, of Colorado,
have shown in their course i'll the SEN
ate an altogether commendable but
extremely rare independence of party
organizations, They have not hesitat-
ed TO criticise their own party when
their sense of right and justice requir-
ed it.
Senator Thomas retires next March.
His sound common sense and sturdy
independence will be missed in the
senate. He is also sound American
who believes firmly in the institutions
of his country.
