TRIBUTE TO MAN AT HEAD OF GOVERNMENT
PRESIDENT HAS NICHED HIMSKLF INERADICABLY IN PUBLIC
CONFIDENCE HAS THE VISION TO SEE BENEATH THE SI AG
NANCIES OF MATERIALISM.
(Choree Creel in the Century.)
America is a nation of incurable
dreamers. The heart of the people is
not found in edeers, their aspiration,
are not expressed in profits, and never
at any time have schemes of purely
material advancement possessed the
largest appeal.
This is the explanation of Woodrow
Wilson. . To attempt an interpretation
of his hold upon the popular iminagm
tion in terms of strict mentality is to
commit one's self to the patent an
surdity that he is the first President
with brains. Utners nave matcneu
him in intellectual grasp, and what
sets him apart, even as it set Lincoln
apart, is nothing else tnan an exa..
comprehension of passionate idealism
as the animating impulse of America.
Vision, spirit, ideals, without the
edu afforded by these dream words
Woodrow Wilson is a blank, the
United States stammering and untn
tellible. Democracy never has been,
and never can be other than a theory
of spiritual progress, and those who
view it as a mere program of pros
poritv place their feet in a blind ).'.;
It 'niav not be denied that al'vn.-'
from the first these truths have be
challenged with persistency and id;.:-.

man interest," that queer newspapt
compound of anecdote and unconven
tional incident; yet no man since Lin
coln has niched himself so ineradi
cably in the confidence of the people.
The President's Hold On His Party
The Democratic representation ir
Congress contains many men who are
not only incapable of understanding
the deeper meanings of the President,
but who are constrained to invincible
antagonism by years of secret service
to secret masters. In numbers suffi
cient to block every proposal, there
are Democratic Senators and Repre
sentatives who hate Woodrow Wilson
and his policies, and are eager for
rebellion and. attack. They stand as
sured of the ardent support of at
least part of what is called big busi
ness and the powerful aid of a certain
portion of the daily press.
How- may the obedience of these
men be explained except by their fear
of popular wrath? That behind t?.i
President, believing in him, command
ing through him. they see the awan
oned people of America, free at le::
from the cords of Liiliput? A con

thought.
These have been his contributions'
to the sucees-.f'.'' revolution against
the sham practicability that was slo.
ly destroying the creative genuis '.
the American people. They are h':
htrength. What has happcitt-d is Uu
release of the national mind from its
slavery to unrelieved materialism, ano
the recovery of ancient faith in th'
projectile force of spiritual truths.
Under his leadership, idealism Ji -been
restored to its imperative place
in American life, and indispensabh
standards are lifted anew.
It may well be that historians cf
the future will write this day dowi
as one of most tremendous signifi
cance to the United States. Th
slightest study of human progros
makes p'.ain that the things whi
count ,in the evolution of civilization
to higher levels are ever and always
those flames of thi spirit that blav.e
without regard to intellectual formu
las or certainties of profit.
When ha's this so-called practicality
ever entertained the visions that tinn
ed arid wastes into smiling orchards,
spun steel gossamer across dizzy
chasms, sent airships aloft, or gave
new lands to the loot of civilization :
When did the multiplication-table
mind ever free a captive, crush an
evil, liberate justice, or bless the
world with music, art, and beauty ;
All that is fundamentally big and tint
has been the work of vissionaries who
ran gauntlets of ridicule and opposi
tion. In the outset every great move
ment, every wonderful idea,
dream, and democracy was evolved
to make these dreams come true.
It is to this pushed-aside, covered-
over verity that Woodrow Wilson is
leading us back, and it is almost as
though some strange combination of
unseen forces had come to his am.
For purposes of striking illustration,
the European conflict could not have
been precipitated at a more dramatic
time. What the Mexican problem wat
to the United States, the Balkan prob
lem was to Europe, and at the Mo
ment when frank idealism has safe
guarded against the horrors of need
less war, European materialism has
dragged Old World civilization bat
to the jungle stage.
Across the sea the youth and llowei
of great races are being rushed U.

in possibilties of creation and produc
tion, are being blown awnv on tl i
a vast destruction and tla

bloody trenches. In the red light thai

Judged by every fact in the case.
Woodrow Wilson's repudiation ot
Huerta was in no sense the result of
a carefully reasoned determination,
but unmistakably the instinctive re
coil of the democratic spirit. Mentai
processes are never free from th
impingements of self-interest. It is
only in the unthinking passions of
idealism that there is found the cour
age to do the right thing rather than
that which is expedient and opportu
nistic. ,
While recognition of Huerta wat,
the wise course, us practicality defines
wisdom, it was not the right course.
The acknowledgment that he asked
involved a sanction of assassination
and ecquiescence in the legitimacy of
murder as a substitute for constitu
tional procedure. His official exist
ence promised a restoration of lu
tyrannies of Diaz and a continiuinet
of the virtual slavery of the great
mass of the Mexican people. Presi

J.f further proof were needed of
Woodrow Wilson's reliance on ideal
ism rather than on logic, it is rui
nished by his attitude in those tryirr
days when "Watchful waiting pro
vided laughter for cynics and an open
avenue of attack for jingoes and con-
cessionairies. With almost incredible
hviiocrisv, int?rvention was urged 1
the interests of civilization" by the
very class most resposible for in
dustrial strife in Colorado, West Vir
ginia and Michigan, for the child
labor horror, for housing evils, and
the existence of slums. No effort of
unscrupulous activity was spared and
at the movement of extreme tension
the blunder of an over-zeaio ad
miral seemed to throw a lighted
match full into the powder-barrel.

MORE DOUBLE TRACKING
Washington, D. C, January 16
Southern Railway will proceed at
once to revise and double track the
2S.7 miles of its Washington-Atlanta
line lying between Orange and Char
lottesville, Va., the work to involve
an expenditure of $1,500,000.00 and to
result in a greatly improved line holl

LETTER FROM MR. FRALEY
FORMER RANDOLPH MAN
WRITES ANOTHER INTERESTING
LETTER ABOUT HIS ADOPTED
HOME, FLORIDA HE COK
RECTS SOME FALSE STATE
MENTS REGARDING THIS
COUNTRY
Lakeland, Fla, Jan. 19, 1915,
Editor The Courier:
The publishing of my letter in your
valuable Daner in the issue or .Nov.
19th, has caused me to try my nana
again to give to your readers a few
more lines from the Peninsular btate
the land OT sunshine and golden or
anges. It was some thirty y?ars ag'
when I, a farmer boy in old Kandolrv
had my first case of real Florida re.
ver. une or those glowing iana com
panies by chance happenetl to get my
name and postonice address and mail
ed me a lot of literature concerning
the wonderful town of Silver I
Florida. I have never forgotten hov
I read everv line of their gluwi
irculars, and how I longed to go
that wonderful land of promise.
Florida was almost a wilderness at
that elate mid if perchance I hatl win,
leretl to this land then and discovered
the present site of this beautiful cit.
f Lakeland and had the lore s
to have taken up some of the home-
deads then to be had for a mere s. .
ind stayed with them, I now if
ave been rich enoagh to have a fine
vinler home in Lakeland and a line
.-'mmc;' home in the mountains c
Western o"th Carolina.
Lakeland was hist thirty-one yer.
dd Janunrv, 1!)!.") and has a port
ion of G.C'II). This is a bovFf-
:et, situated upon a hill 2-!" f- .
'ro sea lev.d ; '-.d only a.l.xm' ;
dies !''-.." the Gulf coast. N'ifi-
beautfid ir.'ces are situated in and
around the citv of Lakeland and a"
.-docked vlt'i various kintls of fresh
wafer lish.
On accoi :it of our favorable loca
tion, vo seldom have frost in Lave-
l.ind. V,'!-, le yen in Carolina have ban
lots of cold v.i ; ther so far this win
1 r we l. 'ie. have had only one light
frost this season.
Wo have ripe strawberries every
day in the winter anel our tomato
vines are blooming and bearing, m
being old Mvi::-h to kill them t'-'
winter. While wo have such love'
'inters M"i wooPI imagine that we
' "old h; vo awful hot summers. Tv
is a mistaken i lea. The summers ;"
long but not any hotter than in
Carolinas. The thermometer scarce!'
goes over !( in the summer time ;t
there is nearly always a good bree-
Tho nights are line for sleeping all th'
summor. Some may say the moseitii
ioes ar" so bad here you could m
stand them. This is another mistake
There are alnays some here dur:
the summer, but all you need is 1
have your house screened and tl-.-
you can sleep under the gentle breeze?
with perfect delight. There are w
wonderful springs in this country that
are worth a trip of many miles to see.
Sulphur Springs near Tampa, Morula,
gushes up out of the ground anel tf
the first leap from the spring fiow
a stream of water much larger than
either Thorns Creek or Second Creek,
which I remember so well in my bov
hood days. Also Silver Springs in
about four miles of Ocala, Fiorina.
This spring is the head of the Ockla
waha river and steamers run from
Palatka to Silver Springs and anchor
in this spring. The water is said -
be about 80 feet deep and so clear that
you could see a ten-cent piece on tnr
bottom.
You might sum it up that Floritla
is a good place to live and that would
be right. At the presept time the war
has struck us hard and business is
very dull. Lots of people out of work.
We would like to have all to come ami
see for yourself, but would not advise
you to come just now unless you have
money enough to stay after you
here or enough tx return if you should
so elesire. My remarks are so scat
tering that I would not be disappoint
ed if they shoulel be cast into tl'e
waste basket. I will close with best
wishes to all my Tar Heel friends.

TO PROTECT CHILDREN
NORTH CAROLINA PHYSICIANS
WANT BETTER CHILD LABOR
LAW ENDORSE 14-YEAR AGE
LIMIT AND 8-HOUR DAY
That the premature employment of
children is injurious to the child and
to aociotv. and should be forbidden to
children under 14 is the opinion of
over 300 physicians of North Carolina.
A questionaire sent out by Mr. W. H.
Swift, secretary of the North Caro
lina Child Labor Committee, brought
back hundreds of replies, indicating
the wide-spread interest which peo
ple all over the State are taking in
the question of child labor reform.
"345 physicians were asked to give
their opinion on the vital question of
whether children under 14 should be
employed in mills, factories, stores or
any other similar place, saia air.
Swift, ''and 338 of these physicians
were interested enough to reply. Near
ly two-thirds of them advocate a 14
year age limit, and an even larger
proportion believe that the employ
ment of children under 16 shoulel be
limiteel Jo 8 hours a day anel prohibit
ed entirely in dangerous occupations
They also recommend that power b.
given to the Commissioner of Labor
and Printing to enforce the chilel la
bor law because a child labor law
without enforcement is a 'farce an.-'
a swindle.' "
The replies received bv Mr. Swift
reveal an interesting fact that th"
abolition of child labor depends solely
on intelligent public opinion.
"When a physician argues that 'in
regard to children under 14 years of
jge. do not think it would be injuri
ous tor them to work 10 or 11 hourr
lav in mills, factories, etc., as i(
would he cmploynent for them and
possibly learn them to realize . thei'
duty to their God first and then their
worldly duty.' I know that be has no
conception of what 11 hours a day
in a cotton mill means to a 10 or 12
year olel chilel," said Mr. Swift, "an'1
that he has never seen a chilel-labor-adult,
that pathetic, insufficient, igno
rant remnant of a man who woulel
work as a child, cheated of an educa
tion and a chance for bodily develop
ment.
"But he ought to know. Everv rii
izen in this Stale ought to know that
we are employing 10,000 children tin-
eler 14 in the industries of this Stat:
exclusive of agriculture (according f
the United States Census for lO'T
and that wo are turning out 10,00o
damaged citizens as a result uiv'i
velonetl, unskilled, uneelucated. The
leaeling physicians of North Carolina
unanimously confirm this fact. Is i-.
not time for us to pass a better law?"

TWO KINDS
There are two kinds of people on eart!
today ;
Just two kinds of people, no more, t
say.
Not the sinner and saint, for 'tis well
untlerstood
The good are half bad and the bad
are half good.
Not the rich and the poor, for, tt
count a wealth.
Yon must first know the state of his
conscience and health; t
Not the humble and proud, for, i
life's little span,
What puts on vain airs is not counted
a man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swif
flying years
Bring each man his laughter and each
man his tears.
No, the two kinds of people on eartl-
that I mean
Are the people who lift and the pec
pie who lean.
Wherever you go you will find the
world s masses
Are always divided in just these two
classes:
And oddly enough, you will find too
I ween,
There is only one lifter to twenty w!k
lean.
In which class are you? Are you eas
ing the load
Of overtaxed lifters who toll dow
the road?
Or are you a leaner, who lets others
bear
Your portion of labor and worry ar
care?

Herald.

EASY MONEY FOR FARMERS
Farmers, fresh eggs are selling in
the ci'.iis at 50 to 60 cents a dozen.
If any resident kicks, his grocer tells
him that the prices askeel leave only
a fair prolit. He also tells the city
resilient that if he will accept storage
eggs, they will cost him only "2 cents
a dozen. It is aelmitted that these
eggs have been in storage since last
spring . So the city man. with vis
ions of stale eggs for breakfast, pays
the 50 or (JO cents and takes it out
in cussing the farmer. What part of
this 50 i-ents does the farmer
If he gets less than 35 cents it is his
own fault. Any farmer or any mem
ber of any farmer's family olel enough
to read and write can build up a mar
ket for every egg that can he spared
from the farm and cair get higher
prices for the hen-fruit than any coun
try egg buyer will pay. Eggs can
and are being shipped safely by par
cel post every day. If the farmer will
write to the postmaster of the nearest
city the postmaster will supply him
with a list of prospective customer.
The United States Bureau of Agricul
ture or the Postmaster General will
supply him with pamphlets telling all
about how the eggs should be packed.
If the farmer is willing to meet the
city buyer half way he can build up
cash business that will mean a coj.
stant income. Later the trade can he
extenel to butter, home-made
cheese, early vegetables anel so on
down the line. Get busy; farmei,
farmer's wife, farmer's sons ami
farmer's daughters. There's money
waiting to be maele if you will go af
ter it.

SAY BOYS!
Want to ro to war ? Of course you
do if you are anything like the aver
age healthy, enthusiastic young Amer
ican lad. How many times have yon
elay dreamed and night dreamed,
too, for that matter about leading a
gallant company on to victory. In
your fancy you can hear the roar of
the shells, the rattle and clatter of
the swords, the shouts of victory am!
all that sort of thing-, BUT
If you want a real true-to-life illus
tration of what modern warfare is.
just get up about four o'clock sobij
cold, damp, foggy morning, walk ten
or twelve miles to bit of swamp.v
(and, dig a trench until your ba,
aches like an ulcerated tooth; let the
trench fill with water until it reaches
your waist. Then stand in this cold,
almost freezing water all day arrd a
night and all day anel all night with
nothing to eat and nothing to drink
but the murky water while the rest
of the boys throw stones at you.
Doesn't sound so nice and glorious,
does it?
But that's only abont one tenth as
bad as REAL war woulel be.
Better stick to the farm, eh?
THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten ? The reason is - plain the
article did not fulfil the promises of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A medi
cinal preparation that has real cura
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy
is recommended by those who have
been benefited, ot those who are in
A prominent druggist says "Take
for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation I have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend for in almost every case
case it shows excellent results, as
many of my customers testify. No
other kidney remedy that I know of
has so large a sale."
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the success
of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due
to the fact that it fulfils almost every
wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post Ad
