The case of the telephone company

nation that the public had that an adj

larry after having been allowed an ad-
vance ofgabout twenty per cent during
the period of government control. 1t
takes time for the public to organize.
1t has no lawyers and no experts. Maui
ry county was the first county In the
state to organize and It's organization
was. not, completed until this week.
Counsel was not employed until last
Tuesday, and although the Maury
county counsel are among the ablest
lawyers in the state they do not pre-
tend to have any expert knowledge OF
the telephone situation and they must
have q few weeks time in which to acr
quire the Information so necessary to
proper. presentationiof the interests
,f the great mass OF consumers.
There Is no immediate emergency
requiring the precipitate approval Of
the advance In rates requested by the
telephone company. According to its
own admission the telephone company
asst year made two per cent on its in
vestment. That is two per cent more
han the farmers OF Maury county
made on their investment. In fact II
he farmers are allowed any sort of
decent labor income 1t is ten per cent
more than they made. They are not
isking for any emergency relief or
guarantee from government. AZ.

WHAT IS a DEMOCRACY

Eight nominal democratic, senators
voted with the, republicans for the
passage of the so-calIed emergency
tariff bill, an act that violates In its
every paragraph every, tenet Of the
democratic party. 1t is openly pro-
claimed by its sponsors to be.a pro-
tective tariff measure. The only
earthly excuse given for 1t by those
who drafted the bin, is that 1t is nee
essary for the protection of American
products. 1t has never been insisted
by any one that 1t would be revenue
producer, In fact II the measure did
produce any considerable revenue it
would defeat the very purpose for
which 1t was enacted, and that is to
keep the products Of foreign countries
from the markets OF America. AS a
distinctly and wholly protective tariff
It is entitled to the. sympathy and sup
port Of the republican members, but
how any senator can claim to be a
democrat and vote for il, passes nn
| derstanding.
II the democrats cannot agree on
the tariff issue ii is hard to see where
they can find an issue upon which they
can harmonize. Even democrats from
the South, three of them, voted for the
emergency tariff bill. In times gone
by not only were the democrats
against a protective tariff but they
stood like adamant against an exten
sion OF the powers of the federal gov.
ernment. But now some of the most
far reaching measures for the central
izing of powers In the federal govern
ment are sponsored by the democrats
No more radical departure from, the
traditional policies OF the, democratic
party was ever proposed than the bill
OF Senator Smith, Of Georgia, for fed
eral aid to state education. -. NJ. 1
1T would be hard proposition In
these days OF change to define "a dem.
ocrat. Likewise the republicans wore
their robes loosely. Only few days
ago in the house, Representative
Greene Of the rock ribbed republican
etate of Vermont, protested vigorous
ly against he continued encroach
lnents OF the federal government upon
the reserved powers of the state. Ht
made some observations about the
tendency to centralize all authority In
the government at Washington and Il
substitute d paternalism for. our fed
eral system that would compare ia
yorably with similar utterances ant
warnings made by DEMOCRATS in th,
earlier. days OF the American repub
lie. There is no marked line Of de
markation between democrats and re
publicans these days. Republicans de
nounce the invasion of states right.
and democrats unblushingly boast o
their support Of high protective taril
bills. as ..os,A -. =

RA,slNo sneEr.

For years The Herald has been an
earhest advocate Of the sheep indus
try. In season and out 1t has urged
the farmers Of Maury county to grow
more sheep and better sheep. Time
and again Maury county lambs have
topped the markets Of the country.
In fact when Tennessee and Kentucky
lambs 60 on the market In the spring
they practically have no competition.
This county is admirably adapted to
the growing OF mutton sheep. 1t
more nearly resembled in the char.
acter of its soil and grass and It's
climate the great sheep sections Of
England than any other spot In Amer
lea. In the ordinary or average win
ter lambs can be grown and marketed
practically without dry feed. in this
county. The winter cover crops that
grow so abundantly on our limestone
soil provide the most succulent feed
for sheep and lambs.
OF all the products that are being
shipped from the farms Of the county
today. the lambs are making the best
returns. Lambs at ten to twelve
cents pound, grown exclusively upon
rye, eloyers and grasses, surely re.
turn q profit TO which that received
for cattle and hogs bear little rela.
ti0nship. 1t Is true that wool Is cheap,
and The Herald would never advise
the growing OF wool sheep here, but
that sheep that, produces the finest
mutton is the most profitable. II
this county had 100000 lambs to go
To market today, as 1t could and should
have, 1t would, bring into the county
around three quarters ora million of
dollars. !.

WHO DID IT?
Finding Out What Water Is"

Up to the year 1881 water meant
either nothing at all or else a great
mystery to the scientists In that
year, however, Henry Cavendist,
teach of chemistry, discovered that
it really consisted of a number of
gases that had been chilled into
liquid form.
1t remained for the French savant
Lavoisier, to bring about in 1888,
the decomposition of water into oxy-
gen and hydrogen land seven years
later two other Britons improved on
his method. They were Nicholson
and Carlisle, who succeeded in sepa-
rating the two elements by means Of
the vOltaic battery
Chemists and physicists alike
agree that this discovery marked one
of the greatest epOchs in the develop
ment of these sciences. Many
things which had been obscure until
then, became cleared up and inven-
ton upon invention followed the La
voisier experiments.

The greater portion of Wednes-

Phillips disputed the bill upon the
ground that he had notified the PHIL

any goods on his credit, and alleged
that, to the best of his knowledge
and belief he had not received the
goods. The case was tried by I.

ant The jury brought in verdict
for the amount of the bill, $691.12.

the dense fog that covered the whole

route they ran short of gas and
were compelled to make very hasty
and dangerous landing, due to the
fact that they were forced close to
the ground to get land marks when
the gas guage fell on them necessi-
tating hasty landing in the field OF

Both escaped uninjuFed. no dam

Circuit Court Proceedings

The Grand Jury completed its work
Wednesday afternoon and submitted
the following report:
We have been IN session three long
working days have examined "a
Witnesses, considered 81 cases and
found II true bills.
The Committee appointed to in
spect the Public Buildings reports
having found the Court House in
good repair paint in good condition,
and makes no recommendations. " 1t
reports the jail in good, clean and
sanitary condition but suggests that
the dining room and kitchen be re
paired and renovated and all outside
woodwork badly in need CT paint,
same being necessary to preserve the
wood. Also that window gratlngs
need repairs and that the side porch
and steps are in a dangerous cOndi-
ton and should be rebuilt or remov-
ed at once Also find an old cistern
open and dangerous and believe that
it ought to be filled in and bricked
over.
The Committee also suggests the
building of a garage on the premises
for the convenience of the Sheriff as
he is often delayed, when in a hurry
by having to go some distance for his
machine. The general appearance
of the Jail outside needs improving.
The Committee found L white and 8
colored prisoners confined within the
Jail. all Of whom seemed happy and
contented.
