WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, OCT. 25. 1916.
After the election j* jver with, and peace had been declared in
Europe and Villa has been safely corraled this world is going to -oem
like a migfhtilv dull old place to th?? average newspaper reader.
If you listen to the Republican orators, you can't help but wonder
how the sun ever dared to shiue upon our country while the Demo
crat* were in control. And if you hearken to the bleating of the Deni I
ocratie spielers, you'll be persuaded that not another blade of grass]
will ever grow if Hughes gets elected.
THE HYPHENATES.
There is considerable political talk these days al*>ut a certain class
of people, who are known as "The Hyphenates." They are supposed
to be persons of foreign birth aud citizens of the I nited States,
whose allegiance is divided between their mother ami their foster |
coutnrie*. They are considered in anything but a friendly light.
Now that politics hold the center of the stage of interest, both
Democrats and Republicans are bringing in the Hyphenates and each
party is endeavoring to show how the other has allied itself with this
class. Republicans claim that President Wilson has held secret con
ferences with Gorman-Americans and others, in order to get their
vote, and Democrats claim that Huerhe* has already pledged himself
to conduct national affairs i:i a manner that will he pleasing to this
class.
The argument over this issue is so unutterably foolish and silly that
it is hardly worth consideration bv those persons who can see matters
in their true light. Hut there are unquestionably a large number of
Democrats who drink iti the words of their orators and who helicvo
that the minute Hughes is elected, lie will promptly turn the keys of
rhis government over to the Kaiser, or some other foreign monarch. .
And there are many Republicans who are tilled up with the same kind |
of rubbish by their speakers.
Mr. Wilson has been at the head of our affairs for the last four
years, and he has made an admirable officii in innumerable ways.
None but the silly-minded and ignorant could doubt that his actions
were for America first, last and all the time, with absolutely nc
thought of hvphenism.
Mr. Hughes has been governor of New York, a Supreme court jus
tice and held other high and responsible positions of trust. There
has never been the slightest shadow of any kind cast upon hi- repu
tation. No one has ever doubted hi.- patriotism in the slightest. And ?
yet these one-sided orators and newspapers are setting up a howl of
"hyphenism" and are endeavoring to insinuate that the Republican
candidate has other motives in mind than tho>o which would lie in
the interest of the peace and prosperity of the nation.
It would 1*? an everla?tinp disgrace to both parties if they did n t
select candidates that, wen irreproachable in ? very way. as far a- ihei ?
personal character* are c< necnied. And the voters ..f the country
may rest assured that both Democrats and Republicans have picked
out men for their standard bearers who represent the highest type of
American citizenship in every way.

The sca.sc.-n of the county aii*l flu* community fair* is with u> auain.
Eastern Carolina U well represented in The way of fairs this seas-m.
Rocky Mount, Kinston. .\\w I'ern. Relhaven, Aurora ami various
other cities aii'l towns have ;i rran^r. d for these 1 >iur annual i vciii.^ ?
Some of these fair? hafe^ already been held, ami others are due t>?
take place in the near future.
It is an everlasting disgrace t-> Washington rliat there is no fair
hold in this city. There run he only one reason assigned for this
fact, and that is that we are nor progressive or a gg revive enough to
tackle it. And still, the experiences ? .f th?\-?* other cities should la*
an example to uh of what could 1*? done in our own city.
A Beaufort county fair, held in Washington, would lie of immeas
urable benefit in many way. It would advertise the county, it would I
cause the farmers to display greater cure and method in their work,
it would display the. resources of our county and it would he a boon
to the local merchants in the way of increased business.
We hoped last year that we would see a fair in Washington this
fall, and we are hoping this year that we will see one hero next sea
son. Wo earnestly hope that the Chamber of Commerce or some
other organization will get down behind the movement and see whether
we cannot keep up with the other towns in this section in this line.
THE HOUMP OA ME.
An announcement was carried in yesterday's papers to the effect
that two of the largest munitions plants in the country were making
preparations to begin making dyes as sih?ii as the demand for muni
tions had fajlen off. It was stated that changes nocesmiry in the
plants and machinery would l*> comparatively few. as practically the
name raw material and intermediates are used for explosives a* in
dyomaking.
While the war lasts, however, these two concerns ? and many others
in the country ? will continue to manufacture weapons of warfare for
the nations of Europe, and the people will have to l?ear the cost, of
these operations. These plants arc making lug money; no question
about it, but this money does little good to the masses of our people.
While a few men are being enriched through the manufacture of
munitions, millions are made to pay out more money for articles in
which dyes are user! ? and all because of the greed ami selfishness
of a few of our people, who care nothing for the welfare of their
fellow-citizens, an long as their own pockets are well lined.
And this is our great trouble today. The men in control of large
industries are so busy making money out of the battlefields of Kurope,
that no attention is paid to homo conditions. As a result, the price
of everything has advanced and the nation as a whole has to shoulder
the increased burden. If we had only let Europe alone after hostil
ities had begun, we would lie far letter off today than we are. Rut
when we send everything we have in order that a comparatively hand
frit of JMfrHMy make thoir fortnne*. it naturally follows that we have
to pay more for food, clothing and the other necessities and luxuries
of life.
