Principle First-Party Secood.
We speak knowingly, when we
say it's hard to sever the tie of
past party affiliations, it’s like
leaving home the first time, for
you hesitate in taking the trium*
phant step, but when once taken,
and you have reached the other
side and are thus brought from
darkness to political light, from
partisan death to civil life, and
to feel and know that your con*
science has once again exercised
its will, you feel the real joy of
free citizenship. For all our life
we have followed the Republican
party until the name ran off with
a few political thieves and pi
rates and the principles they
once stood for were religated to
stronger, truer and younger men.

Say, brother Democrat and Re
publican did you know that Ala«?-
ka and Kansas have both held
elections since the 7th of August
1912. And the Progressive tick
et has won in each ca^e.
It seems strange that so njany
of our honest law abiding citi
zens want value for service not
rendered. The fetting of some
thing for nothing. The habit of
not earning the value received
for the price paid.
The people of Alamance coun
ty have before them now the
question of bringing in an invest
ment of not less than $2,000,-
000.00, not to, even consider oth-
washer values received indirectly.
It IS I question of investing one

The ideal condition in life is in
the home where love reigns and
peace, restful, peace abides. To
make such a home is the dream
of every human being. This is
a God-given instinct hence it is
the natural idea. This the dream
of the youth when' he begins to
look at the maidens around him
to find a companion who will
help him to make a paradise to
which they can achieve and
live a life of love and happiness
This same is true of the maiden

The State Postmasters and oth
er Federal Officeholders wiil meet
in Charlotte September 4th, 1912
to express their allegiance to the
lost cause.
An Alamance federal office
holder informed us last Friday
that he believed in Teddy and
the Progressive party, but that
he thought that he would vote
for Mr. Taft. Do you know the
reason why ?
Fellow townsmen, what are you
gjing to do about it? We are

County Convention.
So many people have recently
asked if there will be a Progres
sive ticket in the county that we
wish to assure the people of Ala
mance that the Progressive par
ty is born of service for human
ity and that its here to stay and
serve us best it can. And we
are here to fight for right
but we cannot unless we
are willing to serve, whenever
its services are needed. Hence
we wish to say here and now
that there will be a full ticket of
clean, strong and competent
inen. And we believe that the
people will support the cause
courageously, as many have al
ready done.
All Gone
Two weeks ago we printed
sixty extra copies of The State
Dispatch and found our supply
exhausted within a few hours
after publication. Last week we
published one hundred extras.
But they lasted but little longer.
This week we propose to publish
two hundred extras in order that
We may have a sample to hand to
our friend who has not subscribed.
Moral: A close serutinization
shows that more than fifty per
cent of the people who get these
exta copies become regular sub
scribers.
Root & Roosevelt
Elihu Root pronounced the fol
lowing estimate on Theodore
Roosevelt on Feb. 10th, 1904, at
a banquet of the Union League
Club of New York, is of special
interest because Mr. Root was
at that time a citizen in private
life. He had retired as secretary
of war, which cabinet position
he held under President McKin
ley, and not until several months
later was he appointed secretary
of state by President Koosevet.
Addressing the leage, Mr. Root
said:
“I count it, my friends, as one
of the greatest privileges of my
life to have been able in that day
of our great sorrow, when our
lamented President McKinley
was carried away, to have been
able to stand by and hold the
hands of his triie and loyal suc
cessor, Theodore Roosevelt.
“I am told that he is not popu
lar in New York. Men say he

to prosecute selfish schemes for
the public’s detriment He is not

tion or undertaking until you see
the avenue directly or indirectly
whereby the revenue with its va
rious blessing is to return.
The question now before eight
of the Townships of Alamance
to take $100,000.00 of 50 per
cent preferred stock in the
Greensboro, Northern & Atlan
tic Railway by the issuing of the
same amount of bonds to pay for
same must be now examined.
ideal
This is no idle fairy tale. It
is a natural and laudable ideal.
While it may never be realized
in its completeness it should nev
er cease to be worth while to
strive for guidance by the supr
eme wisdom who inspired the
thought.
There is nowhere in all the uni
verse of God anything greater
than a Christian home save ocUy
the mansion above of which it
is a type. If this be true and
it is then the noblest work
which one can do in this world
is to aid in the making of such
a home, all other ambitions pale
An ad in Fhe State Dispatch will

This amount seems large, butJin comparison. Neither man
when you consider how small a- nor woma,n can mike it aions
part it is of the total it will take
to build the railroad we should
be glad of the opportunity to so
materially help ourselves. Fur
thermore the road is going to be
built, but its location depends
entirely upon the votes of Ala
mance county. Reject the stock
and you reject the road, and it
will go to a point nearer Durham.
Now Mr. selfish citizen you
say you don’t want another rail
road because it will build a large
number of little towns near too
and in coinpetition to Burlington
and Graham? What siliy chat
for an intelligent man, Don’t
you know that if you ever hope
to“build a large' town you must
have the very best of shipping
facilities. The cause for Httle
towns is the lack of the require
ments above mentioned.
Of course we are not writing
with the hope of converting the
billy goat voter, for we all know
that he never considers the mer-
God saw this after He had
made man. We are noc told
how long Adam was alone. B;it
it was long enough to prove to him
and to his creator that he was
insufficient alone. It would be
however a reflection on the wis
dom of God to say that in provi
ding for Adam in completeness
He made a failure. Whatever
there is cannot be chargeable
to the creator but to the cre
ated.
That there is a failure no one
will question. But it is unwise
not to seek for the cause and
try to remedy it.
Marriage is not necessarily a
failure. Where it is so it can easi
ly be traced to the cause, Yoii
know of unhappy homes and
in every instance you can trace
the condition back of its incept
ion. It is not ignorance so much
as it is blind selfishness and bru
tal self will. I will make a sta
tement for which some of you
may censure me for making.
It is this: The greatest cause
back of the unhapppy home can
be traced back to the parents
who failed to train their children
