ARE DISCUSSED

FOR NINTH DISTRICT.
MASS MEETING MAY Be HELD
Citizens Are Beginning to Discuss Sc
Iections to Be Made In All of the
Districts Of the County--Whitthorne

From Tuesdays Daily Herald

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)
Already sufficient interest is being
taken in the approaching road prima-
ry to bring out suggestions of candi.
dates and It would not be surprising
of there was not full list before
many days. In the ninth district,
where the largest delegation will be
elected, it Is probable that a mass
meeting of the good roads enthusiasts
will be held at an early date and four
men will be nominated and their cleo
ton would become mere formality.
The names already discussed for
the delegation from the ninth district
are those Of William p. Ridley, prom
inent farmer: William r. Anderson,
former presirent Of the board of
trade; Charles r. Hatcher, prominent
attorney, and Allen d. Sloan, head OF
the retail merchants association
These are all public spirited citizens
and would. It. is believed, consent 10
give the time necessary to attend the
deliberations of + q convention that
might be in session for several days.
In the first district, E. N. Woolard.
who has taken an active part in road
Improvement work for many years,
is being considered. Charles V. Hull
has been mentioned as likely selec-
tion in the second district as he Is
one Of the good roads leaders. In the
third district, where three will be Sc
lected, Joseph M. Chapman is regard
ed as certain to be included in the
delegation and among others mention
ed are Squire John M. Davis, RI l..
Hays and ]. A. Grove. Ninion Evans
will likely be one of the delegates in
to the fourth district.
In the fifth district Miles P. Muir
ply and r. F. Hill have been suggest
ed. In the sixth there is plenty OF ma
terial, Elmer Fariss, James IT, Petty,
Fl. II. McCandless and Albert Holt all
being regarded as fine material for the

ably be one of the three delegates
from the seventh district and Z. M.
Kindel will be urged by his friends. In
the eighth district w. J. Russell, Pres

SHOULD BEGIN NOW
FEEDING YOUR CATTLE
DR.. N. JACOB, STATE VETERlNA.
RlAN WARNS OF CONSEQUENC.
ES OF MALNUTRiTlON.

DR.. M. Jacob, state veterinarian,
has issuad the, following statement to
the farmers of Tennessee:
Practically every winter enormous
losses occur among cattle Throughout
the Southern. states from a distase
commonly spoken Of as "BlaCk
Scours,' affecting the younger ami.
mails from four to eighteen months
old. While the disease Is primarily
due to, internal parasites, the second
airy couse, that of improper feeding,
has an important bearing. on its oc-
currenie. In almosts every instance
where we have had an opportunity to
Investigate this disease, itrwas found
that the affected cattle were taken
off the pasture in the fall and were
being "roughed' through the winter
on u ration that had little or no nu-
tritiye value, consisting as a rule OF
either poor hay, straw, corn stalks
or other non-nutritions substances.
It has been demonstrated beyond a
doubt that you cannot grow cattle sue
cessfully by such methods of winter
feeding. In many instances we have
found such methods of feeding fur
Their aggravated by insufficient shell
ter, all of which leads to a depleted
system, and the animal is then unable
10 withstand the effect of heavy para
site infestatiqn
This warning is therefore given
to the farmers Of the state, urging a
better system of feeding and care for
young cattle. In addition to rough.
ness, they should receive liberal
amount of grain, enough at least to
maintain the animal in a thrifty, grow
ing condition. This will do more to.
ward preventing this trouble than
anything else that can be done. Fur
thermore, this warning should be
Needed now and not put off until after
the cattle show physical indications
of the disease. Preventative treat
ment by the way of good feeding and
care will give results, but if you ex-
pect to rely upon curative measures
after the animal actually becomes
sick, you will be sadly disappointed.
The slogan of our farmers should be:
"Begin feeding young cattle now.
continue II through the winter, and
avoid loses from this disease

(From Fridays Daily Herald.

(From Fridays Daily Herald.)
Announcement was received this
morning from state democratic head
quarters at Nashville that former
United States Senator w. II. Webb,
will address the voters of Maury Coun-
ty at Columbia on Monday, Oct. rs;
Mt. Pleasant, Tuesday, Oct. %, and
Spring Hill on Wednesday, Oct. q,
all speeches in this county will be
made at I O'Clock p. m.
Senator Webb, or "Old Sawney," as
he is affectionately called by hun
dreds of his former pupils throughout
the state. is one Of the Souths fore
most educators and is widely known
in Maury county. having started his
famous school for boys in this county
which he taught for sixteen years at
Culleoka later removing to Bell Buck
Ne, where the school has continued
since and established reputation sec
ond to none In the entire South.
SO Senator, Webb. in addition tosbeing
q noted educator is 70 statesman as
well, and for while served his state
in the United States senate. He is a
close student Of the affairs of the ma
ton, and is thoroughly familiar with
the issnes involved in the present po-
litical campaign, and will discuss
them in an open, frank and fearless
manne:.
Every voter in Maury county, man
and woman, is not only invited, but
urged to hear the Grand Old Man of

. GOVERNOR 10 Bearsa.

Governor Roberts will speak In
Columbia on Wednesday. This will
be the last opportunity that the people
of the county will have to hear the
governor before the election. He
should have a large audience He Is
a strong and forceful speaker and as
governor OF the state will render an
account of his stewardship.
The Herald holds no brief for Gov,
Roberts. 1t never has. 1t supported
him for the primary nomination sole
ly upon the issue Of law enforcement.
1t was with profound regret that it
later discovered that the governor was
less sincere on that issue than this
paper had believed. 1t was shocked
to find the governor was less patriot
and more of an opportunist than this
journal had reason to think. -
But the governor Is the democratic
nominee, fairly chosen. That fact Of
itself does not entitle him or any other
candidate to the suffrage of patriotic
men, but to those who are inclined to
leave the choice of their party Pc
cause of resentment at the governors
course since the nomination md he.
cause OF the manifest SHORTCOMINGS Of
his administration, The Herald win
ask will that course benefit the state?
! There Is no issue between Roberts
and Taylor on the question OF scrap
ping" of the constitution to enfrafl.
chise women to meet the plea of the
opportunists. Taylor's party was as
much a sinner as the governor and
his party leaders. If Taylor had had
the power he would have done just
as much to bring about the result as
the governor did.
The Herald cannot therefore see
how the defeat of Roberts and the
election of Taylor would mend mat
tiers any. Why should the republican
party be rewarded when it showed no
more fidelity TO the constitution than
the democratic party? Why visit our
wrath upon the one and not the other?
There have been many grievous er.
fors made in the assessment of prop.
erty Under the Roberts law. The Her.
aid has not been slow to point them
out. This paper believes that the
burden of taxation has been unfairly
shifted at most inopportune time to
the shoulders of the producers of the
country. But is there any hope of re.
form through the election Of Taylor?
The republican party is VIGOROUSLY
the party of privilege. Little hope
would lie in that party even if 1t
should be given entire legislative and
executive control of the state. But
the election of a democratic legisla-
ture is assured. The defeat of Rob
erts would mean a. deadlock between
the executive aud Legislature. Ten.
nessee has had enough of that, and so

EXCESS OF GOVERNMENT.

Candidate Harding, in. his .Chatta
nooga speech, declared that the Amer
lean people were suffering from IAN
excess of government" This senti
ment will be approved by many old
fashioned democrats and 1t sounds
strange and out of place to come
from the republican nominee for the
highest office In the nation. The re-
publican party has always been the
party OF paternalism. 1t mas sought
to broaden and extend the powers Of
the federal government and to regu.
late and control well night III OF the
activities of the people. In the olden
days the democratic party Ddhered
,rigidly to the maxim that the best gov
eminent is that which governs least"
On the contrary the republican party
held that government to be efficient
and accomplish its purposes must in.
wade every. realm. Before the Civil
War the democratic party took pride
in being the party of strict construc.
ton" 1t held as unconstitutional and
contrary to the genius of our institu-
tions all internal improvements. AS
late as third of q century ago the
suggestion of federal aid for schools
provoked tremendous row and was
generally opposed by the democrats.
During the war 1t was necessary to
vastly extend the powers Of the gen
eral government and to commit to its
control practically every activity of
the people. This was due to the Fact
that the recent war, unlike any that
the world has ever before known, was
q war Of people and not simply of ar
mics. 1t happened that the democrat
'fc party was in power during that war
and the republican party now, true to
political traditions. Is denouncing an
excess of government" 1t would
probably have been the other way
had the republican party been in pow
er during the war.
PROFESSIONALLY while there are
many In all political parties who sym.
pathize with the denunciation of Sen
ator Harding, yet it cannot be denied
peeplesthemselves are large
~ bo;s ~ fq5fgthe growth of govern
ment Tcwers. The average American
looks to the government for the solu.
ton cf all his troubles and he likes
TO make the government his scape
goat, No matter what condition enc
may be discussing there is always the
suggestion that "if we only had such
and such law" 1t is a dangerous
tendency to depend on government
when the greatness and the glory that
IL Americas are due almost solely
for the individual initiative and effort
Of the men and women of the country.

the republican party will vote for Cox
on the league OF nations Issue indi-
Gates how serious Is the division
among the republicans over this Is
sue, The democrats probably are just
about as much divided but their oppo-
sition to the league has not. resulted
In any notable bolt from the regular
organization. This Is rather a novel
situation. Generally the republicans
have been more amenable to discip.
line and have been more "regular"
than the democrats, but since the
great cataclysm In the G. o. p. in 1912
when the late Col. Theodore Roose-
welt tore 1t assunder, 1t has lacked the
cohesiveness of former times. "
Senator Reed, the leading democrat,
against the league covenant, is sup
porting the ticket. In Georgia where
league opponents won senatorial and
gubernatorial nominations, they are
supporting Cox. Their is hardly a
notable exception to the statement
that the democrats regardless Of
their views on the league, are behind
their party chieftian. But it is very
different with the republicans. Hard.
ing has overdone his appeal to ma
tionalism. He has gone too far in his
denunciation of the league covenant
The fact that he voted FOR the coven.
ant with reservations inevitably raises
q doubt as to his sincerity. The peo-
pie of America do not want America
to be completely isolated from the
family of nations and especially from
those who are bound to us by the ties
of blood and cemented' In common
sacrifices. ,.-
1t is, as The Herald has frequently
stated, most unfortunate that the
league covenant was ever permitted
to become partisan issue. But on
the issue as made BY Harding the
democrats seem to have the hest of
the argument. The Herald Believes
that majority of the people Of Amer
lea would rather have the league
covenant with reservations, but as
between no effort to effect any ar:
rangement for bringing the nations
closer together and the league as it
is written, the people would rather
try the league.
Harding's attitude toward our late
allies In the world war is not calcu-
lated to bring about closer relation
ship. His boast that he will require
those countries to pay or make some
settlement of the debt they owe
America without dalay cannot make
a favorable impression abroad. 1t is
doubtful If a majority of the people
of America will ever have any desire
to force the collection of the debt
that France owes this country In
fact many, including The Herald, be
lieve that In view Of the sacrifices
that France and Belgium made, this
country would we'll afford to cancel
the debt that they owe us and aid
them that far in their work of rehabi-
iitation.

Harding D0un
To Cold Facts
fBy United Prese.f

WASHINGTON. Oct. 19--President
Wilson has asked Senator Harding in
a letter, if he in a speech at Green
castle, Ind, Saturday stated that he
had been informally approached by a
spokesman for France who asked that
America lead the way to the forming
of an association of nations.
The letter was made public without
comment, but it was intimated if
Harding replied that he had been cor
rectly quoted, another statement has.
ed on the speech would be forthcoming
from the White House. .
President Wilson has also asked the
French government If anyone was au
thorized to speak for France.

rHe TREATY ISSUE.

/. Emphatic dissent is expressed by
the Nashville Banner to the statement
Of President Wilson that the honor
OF America is pledged to the ratifica-
tion or the Versailles peace. treaty in
Guiding the covenant of the league Of
nations, as written. The Banner is
right. 1t was not within the power
of the President to pledge formally
the "honor" Of America to any peace
treaty because our allies we'll knew
that no treaty Of peace could be nego-
tiated without the consent Of two
thirds Of the American senate which
was wholly unrepresented at the
peace conference. Moreover, the
American people did not fight the war
for a league of nations but to defeat
the nnholy purposes of the German
empire. The league OF nations was q
sort Of afterthought, the moving ap-
peal to the American people for ser
vice and sacrifice being defense of
their nation and the purpose to check
the aspirations of Germany for world
dominion.
But il is equally true that the re-
publican policy Of separate peace
with Germany. one that would ignore
our allies. would be distinctly dishon-
ornble to America. While this ma.
tion did not have a treaty with its he.
roic allies like the London pact, be.
tween Russia, France, Italy and Eng
land. because no one could have made
such treaty, 1t was mutually under
stood that our interests and those of
our allies were. common to all Of us,
that blood shed by one and treasure
expended by one was for and in the
interest of all. No one can defend
separate peace with Germany. Such
course upon the part of America
would forfeit the good will and conf.
dence of our allies, something that
we haveFto an exceptional degree.
So fur as its foreign policies are
concerned neither Harding nor the re-
publican party offer anything to the
people that is consonant with the
honor and tradition of the republic.
Yet 1t must be confessed that the
democrats are In a weak position to
take advantage Of this fact. Insist
ence upon the ratification of the Paris
peace pact without Interpretation or
amendment is going to cost the demo
cratic party many votes and is at best
an illogical position. 1t has been Gus
tomary In the past to amend treaties
In the senate and no exception need
have been made in this instance, par,
ticularly when our allies signified
their willingness to accent the So
called Lodge reservations.
It was unfortunate for the peace OF
the world, and the honor of America
that the peace treaty was ever made
partisan issue. Both political par
ties are to blame for the situation,

more concihatory and had been will
