VOTER. 1 Some of the things that Woodrow Wilson has done for the American peo ple during his administration, which has yet to reach the first year and a half of its existence, to-wit: 1 A firm foreign policy one of Watchful Waiting which prevented a war with Mexico, and MADE IMPOSSIBLE UNTOLD LOSS OF LIVES, THE DEMORALIZATION Of BUSINESS AND A STAGGERING WAR DEBT. II. A Revision of the rules of Business without the usual and heretofore inevitable panic as the result of the efforts of the President the laws have .been made the same for everybody big and little not by wholesale denun xuation and litigation, but by peaceable and judicial means. III. Refutaton of the oft repeated taunts that the Democratic party had not the capacity for solving questions requiring constructive treatment. Wit- . ness the Currency, Tariff, Income Tax, the nearly completed Trust Bills and other wise legislation that not only received the votes of Democrats, but the . votes of Republicans and Bull Moosers as well in both Senate and House. TV. A Tariff that compels the Trusts to sell as cheaply to you as to the people of foreign lands. Framed without concessions to Special Interests. V. A Currency Law under which you get your money when you need it one that prevents panics and insures stable financial conditions. VI. An Income Tax that places upon the rich a just proportion of the I $1,000,000,000 a year, which is now the cost of mantaining the Federal Gov- ernment; VIL An Arbitration Act providing for conciliation and arbitration in controversies between capital and labor, which has already been successfully employed in preventing great strikes that Would have tied up the entire rail way business of the nation, i ' 1 r "V "VIII.

Failing the ideal home, the commissioner demands the kindergarten for the 3,700,000 American children of kindergarten age which are now without this training. There are now 300,000 American children in kindergarten some time of the year. Possibly not always at the rght time.

It used to srive lands: now it merely supports the bureau of education. s Nor will there be only a slight Increase of school funds. Take the train ing of teachers alone. There are now five normal schools in Tennessee, capa ble of graduating, when operated at their utmost capacity, 400 teachers a year, and there are 2,000 school vacancies to fill annually. Of course it may be argued that school funds are an investment and a profitable investment. For example, suppose Mr. Claxton should really succeed in getting all the citiea and counties of the United States to engage, possibly with federal aid, a practical gardener to supervise the home garden work of the school children. In some communities these home gardens are yielding pupils $50 to $500 a year, it would be a handsome investment if the garden supervisor would bring a profit of $50 to each family.

Ingeraoll at Indianapolis,Ind., to the veteran soldiers of the Civil War. - It is such a beautiful, clearcut word picture or war 'preparation and so full of many touching scenes that I submit it just at this time to strength en our imagination of scenes now transpiring across the sea. It is as follows: "The piSst rises before me like a dream. Again we are In the great struggle for national life. We hear the sounds of preparation; the music of boisterous drums, the silver voices of heroic bugles. We see thousands of asemblages and hear theappeal of orators. We see pale cheeks of wom en and flushed faces of men, and in those asemblages We see all the dead whose dust we have covered with flow ers. We lose sight of them no more. We are with them when they enlist in the. great army of freedom. We see them part with those they love, inme are walking for the last time in CJiet, woody places with the maidens they adore. We hear the whispering md the sweet vows of eternal love aj they lingeringly part forever. Others are bending over cradles, kissing babies that are asleep. Some are receiving the blessings of old men. Some are parting with mothers who hold them and press them to their hearts again and again and say nothing. Kisses and tears, tears and kisses divine ming ling of agony and love! And some are talking with wives and endeavoring with brave words, spoken in the old tones, to drive from their hearts the awful fear. We see them part. We see the wife standing in the door with her babe in her arms star.dir.v; in the sunlight sobbing. And at the turn in the road a hand waves she answers by holding high in her arms the child. He is gone and forever. "We see them as they march oroud- Iy away under the flaunting flags, keeping time to the grand, wild music of war marching down the streets of tne great cities, through the towns and across the prairies, down to the fields of glory, to do and die for the eternal right. "We go with them, one and all. We are by their side on all the gory fields, in all the hospitals of pain, on all the weary marches. We stand guard with them in the wild storms and un der the quiet stars. We are with them in the ravines running with blood, in the furrows of old fields. We are v th them between contending hosts, una ble to move, wild with thirst, the life ebbing slowly away among the wither ed leaves. We see them pierced by balls and torn with shells in the trenches, by the forts, and in the whirlwind of the charge, where men become iron with nerves of steel. "We are with them in the prisons of hatred and famine, but human speech can never tell what they endured. "We are at home when the news comes that they are dead. We see the maiden in the shadow of her first sor row. We see the silvered head of the old man bowed with the last grief. "They sleep under the solemn pines, the sad hemlock, the tearful willows and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the Windowless Palace of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars; they are at peace. They are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found the seren ity of death. "A vision of the future arises! "I see our country filled with happy homes, with firesides of content. "I see a world where thrones have crumbled and kings are dust. The aris tocracy of idleness has perished from the earth. "I see a world without a slave. Man at last is free., Nature's forces have by science been enslaved. Lightning and light, wind and wave, frost and flame, and all the secret subtle powers of earth and air are the tireless toil ers for the human race. "I see a world at peace, adorned with every form of art; with music's myriad voices thrilled, while lips are rich with words of love and truth; i world in which no exile sighs, no pris oner mourns; a world on which the biggot's shadow does not fall; a world where labor reaps its full reward, where work and worth go hand in hand, where the poor girl trying to win bread with the needle the needle that has ben called the 'asp' for the breast of the poor is not driven to the desperate choice of crime or death of suicide or shame. "I see a world without the beggar's outstretched palm, the miser's heart less, stony state, the piteous wail of want, the livid-lips of lies, the cruel eyes of scorn. "I see a race without disease of flesh or brain shapely and fair the married harmony of form and func tion and as I look, life lengthens, joy deepens, love canopies the earth; and over all, in the great dome, shines the eternal star of human hope." LAUDS PEACE POLICY OF THE PRESIDENT. "I am glad we have in the White House one who will not permit Amer ica to be drawn into the warfare now raging," said Secretary of State Bry-( an at Baltimore Saturday night at the banquet of the Maryland Society of the War of 1812. Mr. Bryan then went on and highly lauded the peace policy of Wilson say ing, among other things, "For awhile there was a good deal of 'watchful waiting', but you hear nobody speak of it now except in terms of respect. The peaceful methods of the New World stand out in striking contrast to the methods of the Old Wolrd." He also said that it is not because Wilson doubts the patriotism of the people of the country, for that he knows if he should call for volunteers he would get one million the first day. "But the President believes that when a mother has raised a boy and poured out her affections on him he is worth something more than to be stood up and shot at by another mother's son.": CANCER, ITS BEGINNING Cancer is almost invariably at first a local disease. It is easily cured if nromntlv recoe nized and at once removed by compe tent treatment. It is practically always incurable in its later stages. ' THE DANGER SIGNS The disease usually begins in some unneaithy spot or some point of local irritation. In external cancer there is some thing to be seen or felt, such as a wwt, a mole, a lump or scab, or an unhealed wound or sore. Pain is rare ly present. Cancer inside the body is often rec ognized by symptoms before a lump can- be seen or felt. Persistent 'indi gestion, with loss of weight and change of color, is always especially suspicious. Persistent abnormal discharge from any part of the body should arouse the suspicion of cancer, particularly if the discharge is bloody. The early and hopeful stages of can cer are usually painless. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO, Fear the beginning of cancer. Never be afraid to know the truth. Any painlesss lump or sore appear ing on your body should be examined by your physician. By the time a cancer has become painful the best chance for its cure has passed. But even a painful cancer can be removed permanently if it has not ex tended too far beyond the place where it began. SEEK EARLY EXEMINATION If you notice that a wart, mole or other "mark" begins to change in ap pearance or to show signs of irrita tion go to a physician and have it completely removed. Do not wait un til you are sure it is cancerous. AM lumps in the breast should be examined. In women the normal creased flowing, which is always sus picious, as is the return of flowing after-it has stopped. MEDICINE USELESS Medicine which relieves pain does not have any effect upon the disease itself; it simply produces a period of freedom from discomfort and there fore delays the proper treatment. A MESSAGE OF HOPE The only cure for cancer is to re move every vestige of the disease. The only sure way to do this is by a surgical operation. If taken at the beginning, the ma jority of cases of cancer are curable. All cases will end in death if let alone. Records of our best hospitals prove that the chances of cure are very high with early operation, and that these chances decrease with every day of delay. Early diagnosis is therefore all-important. THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO (Byron's "Childe Harold.") There was a sound of revelry by night And Belgium's capital had gathered then Her Beauty, and her Chivalry, and bright The lamps shone o'er fair women and brave men: A thousand hearts beat happily; and when Music arose with its voluptuous swell, fcott eyes look d love to eyes which spake again, And all went merry as a marriage bell But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell! Did ye not hear it ? No, 'twas but the wind, Or the car rattling o'er the stony street. On with the dance! let joy be uncon fined; No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet To chase the growing hours with fly ing feet But hark! that heavy sound breaks . in once more as ii tne clouds its echo would re peat: And nearer, clearer, deadlier than be- iore Arm! arm! it is it is the cannon's opening roar! Within a window's niche of that high hall Sat Brunswick's fated chieftain; he cud near That sound the first among the festi val, And caught its tone with death's pro phetic ear; And when they smiled because he deem'd it near, His heart more truly knew that peal too well Which stretch'd his father on a bloody bier, And aroused the vengeance blood alone could quell; He rush'd into the field, and, foremost, fighting fell. Ah! then and there was hurrying to and fro, And gathering tears and trembling of distress, And cheeks all pale, which but an hour ago Blushed at the praise of their own lov liness: And there were sudden partings such as Dress The life from out young hearts, and choking sighs Which ne'er might be repeated; who ould guess If ever more should meet those mutu al eyes. - Since upon night so sweet, such aw ful morn should rise! And there was mounting in hot haste; the steed The mustering squadron, and the clat tering car Went pouring forth with impetuous speed, And quickly forming in the ranks of war; And the deep thunder peal on peal afar; And near, the beat of alarming drum , roused up the soldiers ere the morning star; While thronged the citizens with ter ror dumb, Or whispering, with white lips ''The foe! They come! They come!" Last noon behold them full of lusty OF INTEREST TO THOSE WHO LIKE HOT BREAD (The following is taken from the report of the chemical investigation inta the Kffiwt nf Wnnni.

WEBB ON THE LEGALIZED PRIMARY Ex-Chairman Webb, of the State Democratic Executive , Committee, gave out the following statement re cently which defines his views as to the legalized primary: "I am now and have been for years an advocate of the primary system. When a member of the State Senate in 1905, I prepared and secured the enactment of a rrimarv law for Bun combe county, which was either the second or third county primary law enacted, in the state. I believe it the fairest and best method inaueuratpd up to this time for the nomination of candidates to be voted for. It, of course, nas many weak points, but in time they will be eliminated. "I am and have also been since the question was first agitated in favor of a state wide primary and have used my influence to that end. I am abso lutely confident that the next leirisla ture will pass a real primary law as required by the last state Democratic convention. I do not think that there is any reason whatver why there should be any fear, alarm or suspic ion that the legislature will not do what the party has pledged itself to do. The platform is clear, distinct, and emphatic on that point. It de clares for a primary for the nomina tion of all national, state, and district. omcers, ana pledges the party for the enactment oi such a law. Any intima tion or suggestion that the party is insincere or will be false to this pledge is a reflection upon the hones ty and integrity of the great Demo cratic party in North Carolina. "There are already more than 60 counties in the state, which is more than half of all the counties, which have local primary laws for the nom ination of county officers and in each of those counties these laws have worked successfully and I do not be lieve there is a single county that would go back to the old system. There are a few counties, however, where the leading Democrats seem to think that it is preferable for county officers to be selected by the old meth od. It is my honest judgment that it would be preferable and for the good of the party that the local officers in those counties should be named in a primary. But as there seems to be some question on the part of the local Democracy in those counties on this point I can see no good reason why their wishes should not be followed. "There is no doubt in my mind that the next legislature will enact such a primary as was demanded and vouch ed for by the Democratic state con vention." life, Last eve in Beauty's circle prouldly gay.

WHY THE" ARMIES MUST CAPT , URE AND CANT CIRCLE -FORTIFICATIONS i Why not go around the fort instead of trying to storm it? Why not circle the ramparts and proceed swiftly on ward with the army intact, leaving the soldiers in the fort, after a man ner of speaking, holding the sack as well as the fort? An officer in the cavalry of the United States army in Kansas City, explained to the Kansas City Times why such veranda strategy isa't used and why it cannot be used. The officer, mindful of certain sections of the ar my code, speaks anonymously: "If it be a mountainous country the fort would be placed in the pass, the only road through which an invading army could travel," he explained. "There would be no fortifications on either side, but it would be impossible' to move an army with its guns and supplies over the mountains. A single man would have a hard time making the trip. "Suppose the country were level and the forts were 40 or 50 miles apart. In that case it apparently would be easy for the army to pass between .the strongholds. The army tries it. The defenders of the country throw up field fortifications between the forts. Behind every rock and roll in the ground a man with a sun is hidden. Rifle pits are dug hastily. The invaders encounter opposition, but perhaps they sweep on. "ihen this would happen; The forces from the forts would sweep out across the resr and cut off the base of su plies. The invaders would be without food and the men would have no time for sleep. In two days the organization would be destroyed and the enemy's cavalry approaching from the rear would cut the invaders to bits. Sol diers without food and denied sleep can't fight. Men remember their dis cipline best on full stomachs. An army cut off from its base of supplies would fall apart and be an easy prey for a much smaller force. "It is better to take the fort if pos-, sible. The communication with the rear, where the supplies are, is thus. uninterrupted and most of the oppos ing force is driven ahead. It s good war policy to take a fort, but it is ep itome of folly to attack as the Ger mans did at Liege. "Siege guns were made to reduce fortifications, yet the Germans tried it with infantry and cavalry sweeping across an open space in the face of a terrific fire. The German artillery was unable to cover the advance of the other forces because the Belgians had the field mapped like a checker board and smashed the opposing guns. The Germans, on the other hand, were trying to find the range with shells dropping in their midst. "Lances and sabers were smashed against artillery with disastrous re sults. The field in front of the forts was covered with barbed entangle ments that delayed the Germans as effectively as gun fire." NORTH CAROLINA North Carolina, grand old state! Thy glories linger with us yet, Brave daughter of the dear old South We'll ne'er forget, we'll ne'er forget. Above thee now the "Stars and Stripes" Are floating on the balmy air. And in thy heart so brave and true "The Stars and Bars" are treasured there. But forward! forward! comes the cry, From oceans' coast to mountains' brow, Live thou no longer in the past For Progress is thy slogan now. See, Nature with a lavish hand Has scattered plenty everywhere. Go forth and claim thy legacy It comes to the through blood and prayer. Stand strong and firm for what is right. Nor let oppresion stain thy soil But give to every loyal son A A rich reward for all his toil. And when perplexing problems rise Pray God that He will guide thy fate And still ring true to every trust! Thou ever faithful "Tar Heel State." Wherever commerce holds its sway, Deal fair and square, do right, be just Remember on thy dollar's face Engraven is: "In God We Trust." And in the days that are to come Let mem'ries sleep beneath the sod But keep thy standard true and strong. Defending liberty and God. Mary Russell Holeman. Durham, N. C. THE PLAIN TRUTH If the people of North Carolina wanted whiskey sold in the state they would license the saloons and make the open sale of itlcgal. When the people of the state decided that the sale of whiskey would no longer be made openly and legally they said so. They voted on the question after a long time had been given to study of the question and the issue had been fully discussed. Then they voted out the saloons, more than forty thousand majority. Once the people voted they spoke their opinion and issued their decree. And it never was intended that a few men should continue to sell whiskey regardless of the law, and the peo ple's wishes. It never was intended that there should be a secret sale of intoxicants. Not in any section of the state nor by any men or set of . men. The prohibition law prohibits every one, white and black, old and young-, big and ilttle, rich and poor, in every section of the state, on any inch of territory. No man l.os any right to suppose that hi can eil in toxicants in any section of the state and any man who does puts himself in a very undesirable class of viola tors of the law. Salisbury Post,
