WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, SEPT. 18, 1916. About the most detested item of news in thfe papers tbces days is' that one which i* usually found under tftio howling: 4*ReporW^iav Bremen wiil soou arrive here." And this is the day when "the school boy, with his bright ftnd ! shining face" sets forth on* another campaign against the army of'i B<>oks and Teachers. ? i Judging from the reports that, have oorae from the front in the last few days, the Germans appear to be "in Dut<4i" for fair. PROSPERITY AND POLITICS. The News and Observer. in it# issue of last Saturday, gives a nJport of "the prosperity which is existing under the Democratic adminis tration." In this report, it states that the wealth of the United States today is $41,000. 000,000 more t<han in 1912, that tihe com merce of the country exceeds that which was carried on under Repub lican control by a gain of 68 per cent, that the exports for 1910 are 100 per cent more than for 1912, that the bank deposits have in creased by 33 1-3 per cent the deposit# of 1914. that farm crops are bringing^ far better prices and that the exports of foodstuffs in 1916 showed an increase of 140 per cxnt over the same exports in 1912. In conclusion, tihe Nows and Observer says: "That is only part of the record- Yet the Republican papers and campaign spielers say nothing of these things. 'There's a reason.' And the summing up of the reason 19 to be found in the Republican declaration of 'Anything to beat Wilson.' " To the above list, the News and Observer might well have added: a larger number of religious conversions, t!he excellent flowing that Brooklyn is making in the National league pennant race and the fact that we had thrco solid weeks of sunshine, during the early Spring. We don't believe that -it would have made any material difference in the figures, given in the above reports whether the Republicans or Democrats had been in control during tfoe last four years. The war orders have brought us millions. The war !has caused the increase in the prices of tolmcco, cotton and other crops. The valuation of the country has naturally increased greatly. Better prices for farm pro ducts and merchandise means, of course, greater bank deposits. These are matters which wore not due to any political influence, and neither party can or should hope to make an issue of them. The only cam paign material that the Democrats ran use is the ACTUAL WORK that Las been done by President Wilson and Congress during the last four years. We believe that in holding up the achievement* of Mr. Wilson, rtiev can mako much better argument than in referring to those tilings whiofti are bound to occur. Many beneficial bills have t>ecn passed during the last sesrion ? and previous sessions? of Con gress. The President has been called upon to act in many critical situations. THESE are the arguments that the Democratic party should use. They are convincing. FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW. Wo believe that the details of row! work in the fownAip should he done witih the full knowledge of the people. We belief? that they should he kept fully acquainted with the expenditures that are made at regular intervals and that, a report should also he made, stating just how much work has been done and HOW it is being done. Wo were rather surprised Saturday morning when Chairman Dan iel of the road commission stated that "private matters *ere to he taken up at the meeting.' We conld not quite comprehend liow any thing could he "private" in connection with the work. ft is the money of the people that is l>eing expended. Why should they not. therefore, he kept informed as to what is being done? THE BAPTIST REVIVAL. Rev. W. M. Anderson yesterday began a two weeks' revival at the Baptist church. He will prearfti every night during hia stay here, and it is hoped that the people of Washington ? regardless of religious denominations ? will go and hear him. _ + Dr. Anderson is a powerful speaker and he has a message to bring1 to the minds of our people. His work is needed among us. The religion of most, of us if of a rather indefinite nature. Many of us never give tho subject a thought We get along well enough as H is, so why trouble our heads about, it? That appears to be an opinion that is very often entertained. Washington needs a stirring up ? a religious awakening, and we hope that Dr. Anderson is the man to accomplish it OFF TO THE BORDER. The North Carolina militia ahs been ordered to tile border. Tlieir trip to the Rio Orande will not. however, be similar to thoag that were made when the first State troops left their home stations, ^and when there was vital danger of an actual clash between the 0nited State* and Mexico. ? ^ ^ Now. it has become apparent that the troops are being sent to the border in order to keep them t/yettoer. t? drill them and acqUifftt thorn with army life ? and not flnr action. The North Carolina born will find plenty of hard work ahead of Oftwn, and very little romance, ^ excitement or adventure. . ? ~ However, we wish them the best of luck on their long journey, and hope that will all TTttirn home In good them ! | HOKE TRADE IS cm off by m BRmSHBUWMT London, Sept. 18. ? Grant Britain baa established an embargo on trade between the United 8tatM and the neutral countries of Norway, Sweden Denmark and Holland. A plan of rationing the neutral countries of Norway, Sweden, Den mark and Holland, under which no further licenses will be granted for the present to British exporters, has been extended to apply to the Over sea Trust to accept further American consignments, and by declining to grant letters of assurance for Amer ican shipments destined for these countries. In oonaequence American ship ments for Holland will be stopped, while the regular transportation companies trading between the Unit ed States and Scandinavia will not take cargoes without assuraoeAs of their Innocent destination by . the British authorities. Neutral diplomats here believe two reasons Induced the British Govern ment to take this action. The first is the simplicity of the plan, which enables the Government to control supplies at the source. The second Is the growing bill with which Oreat Britain Is being pressed by neutral governments for demurrage and oth er expenses lncnrred by taking sus pected ships Into Kirkwall and other ports for examination: DID THIS HAPPEN IN YDUR HOME? "Wh?w, fti^hot! said the tired business man as he landed on the top atep of the porch and was wel comed by his smiling wife -and two arm*ful of children. "Why. we don't mind It at all," objected the wife, with a knowing smile. "2*0?' chimed in tho klddlea, '?#? don't mind It at all." "Yon doii'tl" exclaimed the aston ished husband. "You don't!" re re peated. And he looked out at the people in the street to aee If they were showing the effect of a swelter ing day, M he waa. They were! Thus reassured ss to the condition of his mind he said: "Well, what do yon do to overcome the heat/' he aaked. "Thatfe ea ay." smiled the wife. "We'yd Just had our afternoon treat of Pepsi-Cola." "Yes," peeped op little Jafae, the youngest, "and It Was Just aa cold as the Icicle Jaek pnt dowa my seek last winter." "Oh. 1 see/' spoke up father, "got any left?" / " ? ?' ? ? ? * ?
