For President: William Howard Taft. For Vice President: James S. Sherman. Don’t peddle vour troubles— nobodv cares to hear them. Don't expect to sell your stuff without advertising. This is nothing if not an advertising age. Why brood,over your troubles? Any old hen will tell you that it will only hatch more. A woman always feels proud of her husband if she thinks that some day he will make more money. Concerning Geography, were you born in India?” “I was.’' ‘-Whatpartr’ ‘ ‘All of me of course. ’ ’ ‘And Every man should give up something to his wife and usually does—his salary. , Love rules the world but wom an rules the men. Ryan Loves Democrats. Thos. Fortune Ryan declared: “I like them all,” meaning dem ocrats. Stop a moment and think it was this same Ryan who William Jennings Bryan tried to have fired, put out and kicked out of the Fifth Regiment Ar mory as a man who was a dis grace to the party, a stench in the nostrel of every true follow er of Jackson. And yet Mr. Ryan says “I love you too, Wil liam Jennings, although you treat me like a dog I still like yqu.” And the reason, is what stiffles us, because you are a democrat. Yes, Ryan loves Bryan, he loves Wilson, he loves them all. Ryan is rich is has stopped counting his money, but he is still in the game and when it comes to the division Ryan always gets his. For every dollar xMr. Ryan puts into a campaign he wants two in return or many more in and v/ants them quick. So it is eaSy for a man of this type to love. But that his love is not desired is generally understood. will riot be fooled by the proniise of the politician to cut the groce ry bill in twain. Why ? Because he well knows that such promis es are as futile as they are in sincere. The trutlMS the aver age person is unwilling to place the high cost of living where it justly belongs, and that is with himself. There are to be sure, economic factors entering into considera tion and something to be expect ed of tariff revision that keeps in mind the protection of home industry and of the regulation of trusts as entered upon by President Taft; but for the most part the growing expense of our daily life are due to personal ex travagance or the gratification of luxurious taste, and humane na ture choose to place the respoh- sibility elsewhere. We live in better homes than our forefathers; sons and daugh ters are raised with an appetite for luxury; the young folks who wed must begin where their par ents left off; whereas his father got along with a common school education, the son must be sent to college; when we travel it must be in a Pullman; we stop at the best hoteJs, and the hotels are constantly becoming more ex pensive to meet the growing toste for luxuries; we patronize the most gilded places of amuse ment; we must dress as well as ©ur neighbors, and our neighbors feel they must dress a little bet ter than us; the round steak has become a tenderloin; the cotton stocking a silk one; ^ the one- horse shay an automobile; the pipe a fragrant Havana; the wa ter of the well has turned to wine, and the quick-lunch coun ter a lobster palace—and yet we complain of the high cost of liv ing! The truth is, this generation is having the time of its life, but let's be reasonable and philoso phical about it. Asa people we have grown in grace, and if we insist upon better homes, better education for our children, more wholesome pleasure and recrea tion and plenty of it, it is a sign of higher mental attainment, of growing capacity to obtain and enjoy and of expanding ambi tions. It is probably a sin of the the times that too many homes are living beyond their incomes; but if economy is too painful to be practiced, then let there be no complaint when the piper pre sents his bill for services amidst the revels of extravagance. And whpn the politician ami3 his ov er anxiety to get to the White House flauts the tariff as being wholly responsible for the high cast of living, hold a level head and just remember, place the guilt where it belongs. It will doubtless be necessary for us to have more to say on this subject before the campaign is over. But let it come, right like truth may be crushed but will rise again. PUBLIC OPINIQN, Npw' Y^jrk Tribune. If political horor were uniyer- salvall the followers of Colonel Roosevelt who have been nomi nated as electors by the Repub lican party either would pursue the course adopted by the Mary land elector who announces that I he feels bound, if elected, to cast his vote for Mr. Taft in spite of I his personal preferences or would withdraw from the ticket. Only these two courses are honorable. To reroain on as Republicans, inviting the voters of Republic ans, while intending to vote for the candidate of another party, is to perpetrate a fraudc It can have no other purpose than to disfranchise intending Republic an voters, as specifically in Kan sas, it is said, or to deceive them. As this Maryland elector says, he was put on the ticket with the understanding that he would support the Republican candidate for president to be chosen at the Republican National Convention, whoever be might be. That is the tacit iinderstahding with ev ery elector chosen. To carry it out has alwavs been held to be a solemn ubli^aiion, so soleriin that in all the history of the national elections since the party system and national conventions develop ed no elector has ever Violated it. The Colonel's followers have not produced a single argument to justify their course of nomi nating as Republican electors men who are not Republicans at all but who intend to vote a- gainst the Republican candidates for president and vice president. It is a steal, pure and simple, of the Republican party's name and place on the ballot. The North Carolina College of Agricul ture and Mechanic Arts THE STATE’S INDUSTRIAL COUEOE Wilson’s Boss Ban. Banning the bosses and refus ing. to lure Tom Taggert, of Ind iana, back into the committee, Woodrow Wilson has taken re course to the palm-leaf fan and believes that in lotus blossom forgetfulness of all duties and exactions with regard to organi zation he can drift toward the White House in the bow of the white swan of fate. The so- called ban of the bosses only goes as far as the governor himself. His following will doubtless see to it that the bosses are active in the work of earrying states. It is fine to dream of a sure thing but it takes hustle to get it. When it comes to pristine pur ity of the source of campaign funds those that will back the efforts of Mr, Taft to return to the White House will bear scru tiny with those employed either for the bull moose candidate or the academic candidate- When it comes to, matters of organiza tion Mr. Taft will have th^ best organization that has ever been behind a candidate, and it will do its work in the open. If the third party merges its organiza tion into one personalty and if the Democratic party is content to let Wilson win on his own hook the outcome will be assured* The fact is that the talk of ban ning bosses is Democratic twad dle, and the need and importance of organization will be felt keen ly by them as others. Never- the less, the Taft forces are getting a fine lead in prepai;ed- ness for the contest and wpl have much in their favor at the start. The Baltimore American High Cost of Living. That the high cost of living will be one of the chief political arguments by the, Democrats and perhaps the third party is alrea dy evidenced. The chief end of this of course will be a view of entering the White House, and to this end it is the business of the outs to pillory the ins and to eonvince as many thoughtless people as possible that their fal lacies are facts. That the high cost of living is an issue is not denied and that ^the Republican paity is as anx ious to make the livingas cheap as possible can be de nied.
