COUNTY FINANCES.

When reports OF county finances
are made public BY the officials, as they
regularly are in this county, they
| ought to be read by the citizens
Every taxpayer has a right to know
the condition OF the public finances
and unless. they read the reports it
were waste Of time and effort and
money to prepare and publish them.
That the citizens do not read these re-
ports. published periodically, is shown
by the ignorance too often displayed
in discussing the public income and
outgo. For example one hears gross
ly exaggerated statements of the rev.
enues Of the road department OF the
county under the new law. In his last
report Judge Whitthorne published a
statement Of the receipts from the
new law Another statement will be
made in his next report.
But these statements are not read
as they should be not even by the
custodians OF the county's finances.
This was illustrated last year in one
Of the published reports of Judge
Whitthorne. The Herald in an
item Of that report, made big error,
ridiculous on its face, and yet not a
single person, outside of Judge Whit
thorne and The Herald took any
notice OF the mistake. It passed by
every member of the county court.
In no county in the state probably
do the officials publish more. COM
plete, intelligent or comprehensive
reports than in Maury county. They
are filled with valuable information
and they should be read. This paper
lrges that the forthcoming reports
Of Judge Whitthorne and the county
road commission, which will be pub
lished in detail in these columns. be
read and studied by every taxpayer
If the county, and especially by the
justices or the court.

Tense.
Regardless of whether or not he
can be removed from office through
action in the courts it is an offense,
a very serious one, for the attorney
general, as 1t would be for the govern
or or the mayor or the judge, to go
into open court too drunk for the dis.
charge OF his official duties. Holding
office in this country does not render
one immune from the consequences
OF violation of the laws. AS long
as an Offense of this character, one
that reflects upon our whole legal
machinery is unnoticed, The Herald
is going to protest against the pun
Of humble citizens for offenses
that are not nearly so grave, as rank
injustice and an outrageous discrim-

ALABAMIANS HERE TO
SEE FIRST MONDAY
j. T. DAVIS, FORMER DIMPLjNA.
BRINGS THEM TO SEE A
REAL MULE DAY.

That prince of good fellows. former
Maury countian, J. T. Davis, was D
visitor to Columbia on the first Mon
day. Mr. Davis formerly operated the
Lyle Creek dairy farm near here, but
he is now farming in Stephenson, Ala.
He brought two other farmers OF that
section, W. X. Graham and G. III. Ca.
perton. here just to show them Co
iumbia on first Monday. They were
carried away too They said that the
mules and the folks. the tremendous
business and the evidences of prosper.
lty were more than worth the trip.
They had never seen so many mules
~ any time anywhere in their lives.
Although resident of Alabama. Mr..
Davis is still loyal booster OF the
Dimple and it was his delight to show
his Alabama friends around While
here he called at The Herald Office
ana gave positive instructions that
under no circumstances was his paper
to be stopped.

is why Mr.. Hoover insisted all this

tons than any man in America. He

essential qualification for the job.

HERBERT HOOVER.

One Or the ablest and most illumin.

cent issue OF the great national maya

Herbert Hoover, former United States

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

II there is any general popular inter
est or enthusiasm manifested by the
people over the next presidential
election it must be worked UP between
now and the election. All thinking
men will agree that never have the
American people faced a graver re-
sponsibility or witnessed more i'm
portant election for President than
that of this year But they are not
greatly exercised over it, There Is no
particular favorfte in either party.
There is lacking any enthusiasm for
any of the possibilities. All at once
the people seem to have lost all inter
est in politics. They are not con-
cerned over who administers the Of
fees. This is especially true in Ten
nessee despite the efforts of republi-
can leaders to work up some enthusi-
asm among the rank and file of their
party. 1t is rather unfortunate sit
uation for the kind Of government
that we get in this country depends
altogether upon the intelligence, the
vigilence and the patriotism of the
electors.
This nation needs more than any
thing else d practical BUSINESS man
for President. 1t has had in the past
altogether too many lawyers, theorists
aud professional Office holders. There
will be great business problems to,
grapple and solve during the next
four years. Efforts will be made by
certain segments Of the population
to undermine the institutions upon
which the republic is founded. Class
ism will be attempted as substitute
for our democracy. The next Pres
ident should be not only a business
man of demonstrated capacity but
he should believe with sincere convic-
ton in the fundamentals OF this re-
public. He should be the President
Of all the people and not any class.

JUSTICE DEMANDS ACTION.

According to the statement Of mem.
ers of the committee of the Columbia
bar association appointed to investi-
gate the charges against Attorney
General White and to prosecute him,
a request will be preferred before
Judge Turner OF the circuit court on
January is. that he reconvene the
grand jury and instruct it to make a
full investigation Of the charges. That
Judge Turner respond to this request
is not doubted for it is obviously the
proper thing to do.
It has been openly charged and
never yet denied that the attorney
general of this judicial circuit, an inn
portant and indispensable arm OF the
circuit court, was drunk in open court
and SO drunk as TO be incapable of

WORDS OF COMMUNICATION.

The Herald would be false to itself
il it did not make acknowledgement
of its appreciation Of the words OF
commentator that have come in
such volume from its readers here
and elsewhere during the past two
weeks. 1t is not too modest and ever
sincere. It would not pretend
that which it does not feel,
to admit that expressions from
the good citizens OF this
county, are exceedingly gratifying.
They help to carry it over many rough
places: they aid very materially in
healing many a wound received in its
constant battle for their welfare.
No paper ever had finer or more
loyal constituency than The Herald,
Its highest endeavOr at all times is to
be worthy OF the confidence that is
reposed in it. It labors always to
promote the interests. of those with
whom it counsels and advises. 1t has
grown to the size, the importance and
the influence that it now possesses
largely because Of it's unfaltering fidel-
ity to the highest ideals of journalism
and its answering loyalty to Maury
county. 1t has sought to be the me-
dunn OF expression of the best that is
in and of this county. 1t would lead
the people OF the county to paths of
the highest and noblest endeavor
Without the cordial support and CO.
operation of the people of this county
The Herald could not perform its mis-
sion 1t will try during the coming
year, as it has in the years that have
gone before, to justify the confidence
reposed in it. No unclean dollar has
ever knowingly been deposited in its
Golfers. It's counting room is distinct
and altogether separate from its cdi-
torial rooms It's expressions are un.
influenced by those who contribute to
its support, being dictated alone by
conscious sense of its duty to all the
people.

commissioners would not enter into

THE Giro instances are as follows:
A party of ten men, one from each of

for the purpose of contracting for

Each of the ten men was to have con

tenance of the same. | was asked to
be member of this company and to
represent the ninth district. After
the organization of the company was
delegated to get contract and to
sign 1t on behalf of the company.
II procured an interview with the
commissioners and asked FOR the con-
tract for period of ten Fears aud
that we would deposit in any one of
our banks the sum of $4,000 as guar.
antee of the faithful performance OF
the contract on our part, that we
would ask as payment only the
amount of money paid annually by
the taxpayers for road purposes I re.
minded them that we were conn sled
to pay our road tax, but we had no
means whatever to compel any one to-
eXpend our money on the roads and
that consequently we were getting no
road work done.

complete failure to procure any
kind of contract. The statement that
they could get no contracts is indeed
remarkable.

THE AMERICAN LEGION.

Before the war ended and the arms
tice was signed it was generally pre-
dicted that the veterans of the wal
would WELD an influence in this re
public in shaping legislation and de-
termining issues of government. This
prediction is already being verified
So far soldiers and sailors who fought
in the world war have not sought
to use their influence for selfish pur-
poses but they have demonstrated
their power to act for the public good.
The American Legion, less than a
year old, has made its power and infiu.
ence felt in many section Of the
country. ~
This organization should be en-
couraged by all good American citi.,
zens. Every ex-service man eligible
for membership should be urged to
join. Wherever the test has been
made the members of the Legion have
been found serving the flag and the
constitution of their country with the
same devotion to duty and unfalter.

conduct on the high seas and on the
field of battle. II this republic is say.

ted to those who come after us it
must be largely through the efforts
of the American Legion. The Legion
stands for genuine Americanism. 1t
Is not political organization. but
it is the enemy Of any politician who
is seeking to arouse spirit of class
ism in this country. 1t is the friend
of both capital and labor until they
seek to deny others the privileges
which them claim for themselves.
