Hard to warm-up to these kind of September morns. " Too often poor man has to play econd fiddle in the marriage ban. Most any chap is a putty man when a pretty woman reaches the scene. It. is 'claimed that prohibition de feated the Democrats in Maine. Ah, ha, so it was all cat and dried! After all, Henry ord has his re deeming traits. He is -going to vote for Woodrow Wilson. This is the week that the great Wil liam Jennings Bryan offensive is to be inaugurated. Over in the western arena the Ger mans are trying to eradicate the flees. i A writer desires to know if the Re publicans win what will be the great est contributing factor to their suc cess. Wall Street's coffers, of course. "Wine, women and song" have con tributed much to man's downfall, but old banana peel has done something in that line. If Mr. Bacon wins in the Republi can primary today in New York the fat Is surely in the fire for the G. O. P. Ex-Judge Hughes is about to taste the bitter sweet of "judge not lest ye be judged," or words to that effect. That fellow Villa is an awfully dis agreeable "cuss." He insists on liv ing when millions of people desire his demise. Dr. Philip Cone Fletcher favors face powder for women. And the gent's from Texas, too, the nestor of gun powder. Evidently betting in Wall Street yesterday showed odds on the: election of Hughes. Gas shares were report ed to have advanced. We would hazard opinion that the new armored auto-car,, that-is doing such destructive .work in the war, is a Ford, but are afraid of being sued for a million dollars. . The Zeppelin that will cross the At lantic in a few' hours and bring tons of mail is still confined to a flight of the imagination. Of course, figures don't lie, but at that it's puzzling to understand how both mathematical calculations by Democrats and Republicans on the Maine results are going to be correct.

Yet here in the United States, where peace reigns and plenty is supposed lo abound, wheat has shot up in price, flour must be adyanctd in cost and the baker, according to the order of things, cannot stand the loss, so he passes it on to the con .sumers and . Jones pays the freight , It does seem strange hat bread should selL for so much less iri.Ger many than in the United States. - It should "not do so. It would not it the foreign countries, under pressure bf the moment, readily giving up cash, the same as a man looking down the barrel of a highwayman's Colt would do to save life were not al lowed to bid : against ' the ' American public. The government must face this. If the government declares such not responsible then there (must be an illegal corner somewhere; in which case the government Ij un der the responsibility of breaking it up, or of being derelict in duty. At least the government should find out what is -what. It has the means to in vestigate, the power to uneartn and it is its duty to inform a public that must depend upon its government for protection. , Giving som,e idea of the difference between prices in a war-ridden coun try and in one that is safe in the pres ence of peace, we cite the following Berlin dispatch from the Washington Post: "In reporting the recently an nounced cut in the price of -bread in Berlin where it says the rate per kilo gram has been reduced from 42 pfen nigs to 34, making the four-pound loaf sell at 68 pfennigs, or about 17 cents, the Overseas News Agency today tells of decreases- in the prices of oats and barley. " All the reductions are 'in consequence of abundance bf the new crops,' it points out. " 'The price of oats has been low" ered from 45. pfennigs per pound re tail to 28 pfennigs,' the agency an nouncement states, 'and peeled barley from 40 pfennigs to 30 pfennigs.' v , "The newspapers report that the price of potatoes will be lowered dur ing the winter, the municipalities having voted considerable funds. to this end. The press expresses satis- A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR. , Wilmlngtin people give a hearty welcome to Hon. Moses Edwin Clapp, the junior. Senator from Minnesota. The gentleman from, the great West ern State ,copes to speak to our peo ple not along political lines, but upon the great subject of upbuilding about which there can be no dispute. Of course, when political issues are dis cussed the one so expounding claims it is a matter" of constructive policy, and government should be of such character, but ideas as to manner of government widely . differ. Yet there can be no deflection from the ranks of those who believe specifically in al constructive program that consists of making the farm of greater value and making more wheels of industry spin. However, the American people dis agree on governmental policies, all are willing to mee't upon the common ground of turning the raw material into the finished product, 'of taking advantage of resources that are in reach and In building before strength wanes. Senator Clapp comes to speak to the people upon broad lines; not as a partisan, save as partisanship is made up of advancing the geenral ,welfare of the country. He speaks, too not upon theory, but upon prac tice, as he comes from a great cattle raising section. one tnat ha9 pros. learned fropn experience. For the latter reason his advice is especially valuable. To profit by the experience of another saves time and often a loss of money. v Evidently Senator Clapp is a popu lar man in his State.

To 'a " larger extent this may still be so. but other vriters- from across the "pond" have shown -that Hall Caine is not alone in his belief .

Perhaps the story is overdrawn, but so wonderful has been development, so great has been expansion, respond ing to demand of war, that one these days is almost prepared to believe anything! Why not some new iron and steel monster oh land, as well as on sea and under the water? Even a public callous to surprise may not be prepared to believe Hall Caine's assertion that the machine would hur dle ditches, prance over high obsta cles and race through the Flatiron building, with only damage to the structure, but . it is no doubt ready to swallow the story of some new mon ster that defies all hitherto known war machinery. NO DEFACEMENT, PLEASE. High school music teachers of New York would denature "Dixie" and other songs in which negro dialect is used, citing as a reason that pupils : are apt to get mixed on the English language, especially in cities where, there are so many small cniidren or foreign birth or merely of foreign parentage. So far as not presenting a puzzle for the children all right, but why denature "Dixie"' or any other dialect song? If the pupils have not reached the age of discernment, have not progressed to where they are prepared to absorb the old negro dialect as an historical fact, the same as they would learn of the early ca reer of their country, why give thein something easier; substitute other songs, but leave tixie alone, it is the "nebber" and-the "de" that give it life,' as well as the swing of its air that gives it vigorous spirit. If "Dixie" is worthy of being sung in schools it must stand in its entirety. If even high school pupils of New York are unable to fathom "Dixie," though studying French and German, and while filling pads with geometric and trigonometric sums are unable to figure out "Dixie," let them sing other songs, even if "Mother Goose" jingles have to be put to music, but don't change history. "Dixie" does not stand in need of reforrt. EAT LESS MEAT IF BACK HURTS Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kidneys if Bladder Both ers You.

Seed oats and'crimson clover seem to be most in demand among th farm ers and the crop will probably be. the largest in years. The demand for hay is also large, and hundreds of bales are being sold. The price of bales are being sold. The price of hay has dropped $5 a ton during the past few weeks, this being due to the fact that the production has been so great. - New Bernians are taking a marked interest in the proposed boat line which the M.

They were tried in Guilford i last winter by Judge E. B. Cline for false pretense and given two years. Governor Stuart calls upon Governor Craig to pardon them that Virginia may have a better chance to prosecute them with the most important witness still in the flesh. Governor Stuart much fears that this witness may not live out his ap pointed days. He seems to be the sin gle eye-witness to a homicide , which the Virieinia chief executive thinks was committed under circumstances that were peculiarly "atrocious. Fear of the testifier's health moves the Vir ginia governor to immediate action. Governor Craig did the best he cbuld in allowing the two men to go back to Virginia where they will be tried for the murder of Knowles. The office instructed the release of the prisoners from their Guilford service today. Samuel R. Caven and I. J. Canbrom, North Carolina fellows who are believ ed to be New York City crooks, are to be brought back to State if Solicitor Swain can bring them back here, under requisition upon New York.
