WHERE WILL IT END?

As heretofore stated The Herald as
sumes that the increases made by the
u. S. railroad labor board in the ray
of the railroad workers were justified
BY existing conditions, at the same
time time conditions that require
such heroic remedies and the placing
Of such tremendous tax upon the
public at one time should invite our
serious attention. If in fact these IN
creases were fully justified they must
be approved. II they were forced
through the threat of strikes and gen
eral paralysis of business then they
cannot have public approval. Sooner
or later the railroad strike is coming.
Despite the tremendous advance
granted the workers many of the radi-
cal leaders are becoming FESTIVE and
urging rejection and strike. Tempo
rary expedients may "stave off, the
strike but 1t is going to come, because
more and more union labor is becom-
ing radical.

TINE LIMIT BARS
MANY CANDIDATES
OVERLOOKED THEIR HANDS AND
FAILED TO FILE PETITIONS
BY MONDAY.

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald.)
1t is remarkable that as long as the
Dortch law has been in effect in Maui
ny county and the frequent pubica-
lions made of its provisions that there
are still men active in politics who
overlook it's provisions. AT least three
candidates who wanted to get their
names on the ballot i'm the coming
election overlooked the important
matter of filing their petitions but It
was too late. One called at The Her
aid office this morning to know if he
was in time. All were barred after
midnight Monday. as the statute is
plain that the petitions must be filed
not less than ten days before the
election.
The Herald frequently published
the fact that petitions must be filed
not later than Monday night One of
the candidates caught in this man
ner is an Office holder of many years
and regular reader of the papers,
but he simply went to sleep on the
switch" However, no other candi-
date qualified and his name will
doubtless be written in the ballot by
his friends and he will be elected.

SENATOR CLARK
PONDER|NC over
Vote FOR WOMEN
MEMBER FROM THIS DISTRICT is
BEING OVERWHELMED WITH
ARGUMENTS BY MAIL.
HAS ANNOUNCED NO DECISION
Will Give Due Consideration to Con-
stitutional Aspect of the Question
Before Reaching Any Final Con-
clusion.

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald)
How would you like to be senator
from Maury county with the Tennes-
see legislature scheduled to meet in
ten days to decide woman's suffrage
for the entire nation? How would
you like to have mail bags full of
petitions and arguments and briefs
and appeals? One side is pouring
them in as fast as the other side can
unload it's batteries.
Senator Clarence Y. Clark, OF this
district, is not by any means sure
that he is glad he is senator of the
state of Tennessee at this particular
time. In fact if Senator Clark read
all The literature" and the dope that
is, sent him by the various suffrage
and anti,suffrage association he would
not have time to make living
The senator is sitting in the boat
He is a most gallant man and would
like to accommodate the women but
unfortunately they are divided. One
crowd tells him what an outrage
human rights it would be to deny
them the vote. The other side is
equally as insistant in claiming that
Magma Charta will be repealed if
the women don't get the vote. The
senator knows that as soon as he gets
to Nashville these long distance ap-
peals will be changed to personal
solicitations. He can't vote both ways
and therefore can't please the good
women on both sides.
Seriously the constitutional in
hibition against acting on federal
amendment submitted after election
is giving Senator Clark no end of wor-
ny as it is many other members. Can
he consciously and with due regard
for his oath to uphold, support and
defend the constitution of his, state,
vote for ratification? This is the
question that the affable senator
must decide. There are arguments
and many of them being advanced to
prove that he cam, others just as
numerous now that he cannot. The
senator has not yet made UP his mind.
He is giving the matter the most
careful consideration and when he
does act his mind will be free.

POLITICAL POTS ! ! IT,.
'B|l|N" MONDAY
CANDIDATES BUSY AS SWITCH
ENGINES IN CROWDED YARD,
SHAKING HANDS.

From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)
For politicians, Monday was a big
day in Columbia. Candidates for the
legislature were swarming like bees,
and as busy as flock of switch en-
gines in a crowded yard On every
corner, it seemed some candidate was
shaking hands with the dear Pee
pul'' and dishing out hand bills and
circulars, setting out the things which
they oppose
Mixed in with the legislative gos-
sip, was quite a bit of discussion con-
corning the gubernatorial race, and
friends of Governor Roberts claim
that he is gaining votes by leaps and
bounds in this county since his three
speeches last week. Opposition is
weakening and those who are direct
ing Roberts campaign in the county
are now confident that he will carry
the county by substantial majority
Farmers who were known to have
been bitterly opposed to the re-elec-
ton Of the Governor before his speech
in Columbia have come out openly
for him, and announced that they
would support him whole heartedly.
They say they had been misinformed
concerning the tax rate.

cult for people to get these facts
clearly in their minds. The Herald
has no bitterness In It's heart no parti-
san feeling against any political organ
ization that stands squarely upon the
constitution of the republic. 1t will

might make the wages of a conduc-
tor or engineer one year but he is at
the mercy of the elements, the insect
pests and the markets and would be
just as likely to lose it all the next
year through no fault of his own. The
railroad worker has a guarantee re-
gardles OF any storms, panics or pests
that he will get his pay envelope.
If the people Of this country are TO
have food they must make up their
minds to pay largely more for 1t than
they have been paying. The produc-
ers of this country are today laboring
under every possible handicap. This
is a fact that the national administra-
tion has never seemingly consid cred.
1t was only during the life of the food
administration that any department
of the Wilson administration ever
manifested any intelligent interest in
the agricultural problems. 1t was too
busy trying to 'unionize' all of the in
dustries to pay attention to the basic
industry
The Herald has the greatest respect
for all who labor, whether on the
farms, in the work shops or on our
transportation systems; in fact it has
no respect for those who do not labor.
1t believes that every member Of So
ciety is under obligation to contrib
rute what he can to the general good.
No man has a right to live life Of
idleness If he is able to work. 1t is
more reprehensible for the captain of
industry to shirk his duty to contrib
ute something useful to society than
it is for the laborer to go on, strike and
live off the contributions dof his fel.
low workers. But The Herald objects
to any class or interest seeking the
solution OF the country's problem pure
ly and solely from selfish standpoint.
Men who struggle simply for their
own selfish interests and have no re-
gard for the welfare of all humanity
will sooner or later bring about such
conditions that our whole social and
economic structure must collapse.
The workers who are constantly re-
ceiving advances in pay must "ecog-
nize the fact that they are at the
same time contributing to an increase
in the cost of living. They may in this
way get more dollars, but their in
creased number of dollars will rot do
them any more good than the smaller
pay received during normal times. No
matter what pay we obtain it must be
paid by, the public and by us 100 in the

cause in the past many had gone to
Nashville, but lit actually brought
many from the capital city to Co
lumbia last season. There was shows
like Scandal" that had patrons here
from a half dozen counties. These
people will come again and they will
come often if Manager Jackson is
not disappointed in his plans for an
exceptional line of attractions
Mr. jackson will be accompanied

young daughter and will be gone for
some time.

The pRoGREssIves.

1T Is. difficult to see how LaFollette,
BDrah and Johnson, radicals In the re-
publican party. men who boast that
they are "progressiyes," whatever
that may mean, canconsistently sup
port Harding. 1t is true that they
have nowhere else to go since the col.
lapse u the third party" or progress
slye movement, but Harding's speech
OF acceptance Is an appeal to old fash
toned republicanism, to that American
isin list gets its Inspiration from the
constitution and the traditioastf tho
,opEElic. There can be nothing ia cc;n.
mon between those who hold to the
ancient faith and the radical visiona-
ry theories of the so-called progress
siyes.
Fortunately the democratic party in
1t splatform and presumably in its
nominee is as conservative, as much
welded to the faith Of the fathers as
the, republicans. It's platform makes
no appeal whatever to the radical ell
ement It Is a platform upon which
BaHfnel J.. Tilden or Grover Cleveland
could have, stood with all sincerity
Tie democratic party does not hold
out any hope to the Borahs and John
sons and LaFollettes and their own
party nominee has repudiated every
thing for which they stand except ha-
tired OF Woodrow Wilson. They will
probably follow Bryans example and
remain nominally members Of their
old party. :
