J-lll'I'l v-r. the liquor traffic in this State. The Stale Anti-Saloon League Mauds simply for the enforce ment of this expressed will of the voters of the State, and we np- neal with confidence to the deii-t, ., . . ... r. 1 , . ,, , , , , , lnbition hasbet n too often stress- eral Assembly elected bv those! , . , . voters to see that in no particu lar shall the verdict of last Mar be abated. We do not ask for more than the people h ive declared for, nor do we expect less. The people having so unmistakably declar ed their wishes, it Incomes the duty of their law-makers to pro vide in all cases the proper lejial machinery for enforcing their newly-expressed will, and for pun ishing all violations of the new statute. Seeing that the en forcement of the law is now in tht! hands of our own State offi cials, we call attention to the fact that in most counties no compensation is now allowed sheriffs for breaking up illicit dis tilleries, and we earnestly ask for a general law providing for t In payment ol $'2) for each c a p 1 ure made by a sheriff, a policy which has worked successfully in Cumberland and other counties, and without which the machine ry is manifestly inadequa te. Be yond this we ask for nothing. We do not believe that the whiskey intcivsts can bring any strong pressure to bear upon our law-linkers for any weakeuingof the present law. but we do not think amiss to warn our people njninst agitation for seemingly innocent or unimportnntaaiend ments. To make one change will open up the whole subject afiesh, and offer another much coveted opportunity for the whisky forc es to spend money in an effort to corrupt public sentiment. We have seen indications, for exam ple, for a plan to use the apple growers as cats' paws -the li quor interests insidiioiisly endea voring to arouse a spirit of dis satisfaction among them in the hope of weakening the law for their own ultimate advantages. We warn our farmers against these schemes; we cannot afford to make a hole in the dike which might lead in the end to bring ing down the whole flood of cor ruption and intemperance again upon our homes. It is our beliel that the people of the State, thu Auti-S a 1 o o n League and the General Assem bly are alike resolved upon what hug become known as tliu "stand pat" policy. Let us have no hurt ful agitation, and if it conies, let the blame be upon the heads of the whiskey element. If they seek to vio'nto the law, swift and sure punishment must be meted out to them. Upon this point we ask all good citi zens to be alert. It is the duty of every friend of temperance, of course, to see that our Prohibi tion Law is thoroughly enforced, but it is not more the duty of tern p-rance men than any other good citizens. Itis now one of the Mate's statutes which everv of ficial and citizen is sworn to sup port, and whatever his origi nal attitude may have been, it is as mu -h the duty of every man to support the laws against gam bling, theft or arson. The same penalties provided by law f o r failure to enforce these last tiani- I eJ laws, are also availabe in the I, mi I ! .1 l,r, .1. il.it i. ..i ...... ..

The following Sunday the young lady donne 1 tier hat and attend ed chinch. Dili ing services the mouse got a little restless, but when he looked down from his berth he tried to holler "fire" and fell buck, covered his head and fainted. On arriving home the lady removed her hat, a n d this aroused the mouse and out lie-jumped.

And when the mists and ntherde- bris had cleared away, it was dis covered that the mouse had vol untarily expired for the purpose of securing a Carnegie medal, and the voeng lady had collapsed and was resting swoetly in the encircling assistance which had opportunely arrived froma-Phar tni the swift wings of the Wren Chronicle.

But not s i. With barely onede sertinn, the prohibition majori ty in each houe siod like a stone wall when Governor Pat- incisure was promptly passed a gaia by the same majority it had to betray the people of Tenni s see and perpetuate the liquor ti n in ti:c Si ate in defiance of public sentiment. It was a re buke that Goernor Patterson and th" consr-i 'liceless pi'itiral inaehine 11 L .Nashville ritudy mer ited. Lookingback over the past year, there are many things that might be said of the effort that has been made to save the liquor traffic in Tennessee. Fraud, cor ruption, duplicity and downright tieachery have been practiced; money has been spent with a free band wln-icver it was believed it could be used to advantage: in cidentally, one of th.' foulest min ders in th" country's history was committed; browbeating tactics and machine methods were work ed to the limit; and the prohibi tionists, including thousands up on thousands ol the best men and women of the state have been abused, vilified and slander ed by the ndministrutiou-suloon organs all in the name of dem ocracy. But the battle is over, and the victory is won, and we can af ford to forget the past save and except that part of it that is stained with the martyr's blood. That is the onlv cloud that flouts in the sky in this hour of triumph. It was theambition ol Senator Car. nack to see the li quor ttaffic driven from Tenne ssee, and ho was devoting his time and talent to that cause when he met a tragic and uutim ley fate. What he had hope ! for and worked for has been ac complished, but he is gone. Would we throw away the splen did victory that has just been ac hieved, if it would enable him to return to life and walk and talk with us again? Yes! We could join battle with the whiskey lor ces at another day, and vanquish them. We could drive the liquor traffic fiotn Tennessee at another time. But we cannot recall from the tongueless silence of the dreamless dust that manly man, that knightly spirit that led us so bravely aguiust a strong and unscrupulous foe. All honor, let us again say, to the senators and representatives ho lliive Vac6 tl,is P'ohiUU tiou law upon the statutes !

It Is Cliaraeter That Counts. I or the very reason that in material uell-being we have thus , , .

Upon material well-being as a foundation must be raised the structure of the lofty light of the spirit, if this nation is properly to fulfill its great mission and to accomplish nil that we o anient ! ly hope and desire. The things j of the body are good: the things of the inte'lect better: but the best (d till are 1 he things of the soul; for, in the tuition as in the individual, in the long run it is character that counts. Let us t herefore as ti people set our fa ces resolutely against evil, and with broad charity, with kind liness and good will toward all men, but with unflinching deter mination to smite down the wrong strive with all the st rength that is given us for righteous ness in public and private life.
