Ofc ''''’ith Ihi Dmb Dmnee! Advertine to the Democwic pl»t- ’’ form adopted 1%ursd&y, the Raleigh Times says: *^0n the single issue of the primary plank We would take is sue with the convention, but since the principle of the primary was indors ed, there is every reason to believe that it will be extended in. a few years to include county and township of fices." True enough, something may be dose in a few years. But this is by no means certain., The conventio.h held Thursday was the first gathering, of the kind since President Wilson so earnestly besought the Democracy of the state to put itself abreast of the times in this respect. It was the first gathering of the kind since ^e meeting of the Poe-Alexander pro gressives at Raleigh, to professionals an affair . so lamented. It was the first gathering since of Democrats of »orte--of the eastern district conciuded. what was politically termed their de liberations in the available hospitals. It was the first gathering of the kind since the Democrats of a western congressional district agreed to dis agree, perforce, aft^ charges cf cor rupt practices were made that might have caused a Murphy to blanch. This canvention, as we were about to say, were asked to do some pro gressive things. The Poe ^gregation matter did not, it seems, raise a snick er. But the initiative and referen dum raised a snicker. It was laugh ed out of court, to the accompaniment of handclapping led by Mr. Overman. One recognizes in the platform prat tle about primaries the modicum of ^ molasses. It would be morally and physically impossible to stand on the plank; there would be no place to stand. The convention expressed its hopes and aspirations and intentions respecting primary legislation is just fi\ e less. One heard, but momentar- ,i!y, the tinkling cymbal. The minor- it—and the term is used most advis edly—propo.'ied a thorough-going clear cut declaration with respect to a state wide legalized primary, but it re mained the minority report precise ly for the reason that the report was clear cut and comprehensive. Tbe convention was very conventional. It \fas a ,~ch'.t:ve!y siiial!, .select gather ing, coreprised in large part those who havi? re*;eived recognition at the hands of President Wil.son. But it was not minded to brook any d—d nonsense. The limited number of real progressives were easily overwhelm ed by the Wattsoniaii torpor that pre- vadcd Ihe proceedings. Tlie one thing that challenges our ailtniration, in reflecting upon the man ner in which the convention dlsposetl of the primary plank, a plank which is apt to escape notice entirely in a cursory reading, is the honesty of Cameron Morrison, which stands out in such bold relief. There was no ev idence of i.niug, nr driveling hypocrisy here. Mr. Morrison said the Demo crats in the w'e.stern part of the state did not approve of primaries such as were proposed by the minority, (those were tha honest kind) that they might interfere with Democratic chances in some of the counties. Now' one may easily understand, if he cannot ad mire, this sort of opposition. li is the other kind of opposition, which is unwilling to raovo into the open with reasons, which we unreservedly condemn. President Wilson ought to turn to his letter files for that letter, first designed for use in Indiana, and lat er transmitted to Clarence Poe for use in this State, telling how shocked the President was to discover that Jforth Carolina had failed to enact legislation of such capital importance as the legalized primary. Carbon cop-' ies might now be sent to some of his accredited representatives in North Carolina, who presumably re flect his views concerning reform leg islation to which in New Jersey he showed passi>nflte devotion. Even in the matter of the Initiative and Kei- erendum, which, was so incontinently tossed out, we recognize those neces sary “guns behind the door.” By all means, Mr. President, send the letters. This tragic-comedy must be sustained. Wo realize, witli the steemad Times, that the profession- 1 placeman and the politicians may it us to have the good .ud de- inble things in isgidation “in a few years.’’ Meanwhile, on with the drab dance!—Greensboro News. “It is to be observed that the men who profess to be shocked at the ‘Lo, and Behold, shirtwaist seldom go out of their way to avoid shock,” com plains the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.

I CHHSHESmiSnLLI BRAND DIAMOND \ Many Immigrants Arrive. Washington, June 9.—Immigrants arrived at American ports at the rate of i 2,900 every week durinj^ the first ten months of the fiscal year of 1914, and indications are thut by June 30, when the fiscal year ends the greatest number of immigrantss ever admitted during ^iny year will have entere»^. Statistics of the bureau • of imnligration for April and the 10 mouths ending with April show 119,885 were admitted in April 33id the total tor tfte 10 montns was 1,038.956.

Tliousands upon thousands of wo men have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it. Women’s complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouJjIe. or the result of kidney or bladder dis ease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause th? otht?r organs to become diseased. You may suifer a great deal witli pain in the back, bearing-d«>wn ff>el- ings, headache and loss of ambition. Poor health makes your nervouSt irritable and may be desp >ndcnt; it makes any one so. But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, by restor ing health to the kidneys, proved to be Ju.*jt the remedy needed to overcome siuch conditions. A good kidney medicine, possessing real healing and curative value, should be a blessing to thousands of nervous, over-worked women. Many send for a sample bottle to see what S\”amp-Root, thn great Kid ney, Liver and Bladder Remedy, will do for them. Every reader of this paper, who has not already tried it, by enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton^ N. Y., may re ceive sample size bottle by Parcels fifty-cent and one-dollar sire bottles ut all drug stores. Post. You can purchase the regular CONFIRMED PROOF. Residents of Burlington Cannot Doubt What Has Been Twice Proved. In gratitude for relief from aches and pains of bad backs—^from dis tressing kidney ills—thousands have publicly recommended Doan’s Kidney Pills. Residents of Burlington, who so testified yt&rs ago, now say the results were permanent. Ihis testi mony doubly proves the worth of Doan's Kidney Pills to Burlington kidney sufferers. Mrs, Bert-ha Stanfield, 1015 Dixif* St., Burlington, N. C., says: "I was in bad shape with backache and bad trouble in straightening after stoon- Ing. . I was bothered by nervous spells. I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised and go some. They helped me in every way. The p^’ins left and my kidneys became normal. The 9i\- before, was true. I am glad to con firm it now.” Mrs. Stanfield is only one of many Burlington people who have grateful ly endorsed Doan’s Kidney Pills.

Not another organ in the whole body more delicately constructed; Not one more important to health. The kidneys are the filters of the blood. When they fail the blood becomes foul and poisonous.
