Cold in the air calls for coal in the stove. Pickled oysters are all right, but pickled men are all wrong. Both the human and crustacean brands of lobster are sea. generally at "Deeds vs Words" "is a headline. Real estate men against lawyers, we suppose." Most any old chromo can wear a picture-hat. But then the millinery business must go on. Our idea of corned beef is a gentleman who gets lickered-up moonshine. fat on Villa is showing belated symptoms of being a real general. He is direct ing his forces from miles in the rear. It is noted that yesterday Candidate Hughes spoke in Peoria, 111. Under the circumstances quite naturally it was Peoria ill. Testimonial from the Hon. M. Zaimis, of Athens: After trying your Grecian premiership once. I have de cided to try no other. "Now for the fall opening of the oyster," proclaims the esteemed Char lotte News. For our part now for the falling opening for the oyster. Now that the "drys" are claiming that they won the election in Maine, we are positive that Maine can't be accepted as a bar-ometer. The new Greek premier denies that he is pro-German, but King Constan tine probably only smiles, as he keeps in easy reach of another decree dis solving the cabinet. Funny, how a fellow will sing to her before marriage "Love Me and the World Is Mine," and after mar riage he has to scuffle to make both ends meet. Evidently the Democratic National committee has reached the conclusion that" history, with-a slight divergence for modern day sake, is about to repeat itself. The Republican geese are about to save the Democratic party. Why wonder that Wall Street is" of fering odds on the election of Hughes? ;In the first place, its to Wall Street's intef est to make a bluff, and, in the . second,, the masses, who are for Wil son, haven't money to bet. : A. writer who signs himself "Daily Reader", tells the New York Com- Vmercial that the solid south is apt to be broken this time. It was probably unnecessary for the gent to tell what he is a "daily reader" of. Fairy tales, : undoubtedly . , ' The negro who attempted to board the President's train in the Raleign Union Station proportionately got more punishment than the white man ; who outraged decency and imperiled womanhood at the same spot a few nights before. , rnE ,V i sir Tlouelas Haiff has alwnva Vmrl a ' name about which there ha3 , v hovered, thepght kind of spirit, as the I y -'t 'old tashioned gent, who remembers the :: ;;piajmy days before the dratted anti 4 Jlvsaioon league folks swooped down and " V made the country better,' will likely agree.

' , ... ; SU PPOSE IT rJS; BACON? va.' .'.'At this writing it is not known the Republican nominee ror. aencor in New York, to succeed O'Gorri&n, will be ". It is practically certain that William F. McCombs will bet ;the Democratic7 nominee, . but whether Bacon or Calder. will receive tte .:Re - publican nomination is In doubt,.; al- though returns so far indicate- it will be Bacon. ; What a plight, what a paradoxical position the Republican leaders of Mr. Hughes campaign wm find themselves in if Mr. Bacon is the. nominee r-. Not that Mr. Bacon is not true to Republican principles; not that he is not a man of ability; a man of cour- age; a man of frankness and one who believes in the ancient, if not honor - able, practices of the Republican party, as exemplified by those famed stand- patters, Elihu Root,, Henry Cabot Lodge. Boies Penrose, Reed Smoot and the like. He is all of this-but Mr UBacon is rabidly anti-German and ar dently pro-Ally. ' H6 candidly has declared he is not neutral. He be lieves in the cause of the Allies. For mer Ambassador to France, a close friend of Theodore Roosevelt, wha along with Elihu Root, supported him, J he gave notice before the primary that he was unneutral. He does not be lieve in the Germanic cause' and is a foe of the Teutons' project, object or defense, however it may be termed. Yet he is found receiving a tremendous vote in the Republican primary per haps, is nominated . Woe unto har mony in the Republican ranks. ' How the two-faceness of the Republican front Will be defaced . The 'clarion appeal has gone forth not only to vote for Hughes but for a congress that will support him. - If Bacon is the nominee, what will this amount to? Bacon is anti-German, so much ' so that he served notice before hand. Therefore how will the German-Am ericans of New York state vote for a Republican. Senator to uphold Hughes, What is the Republican standard bear er going to say to the voters of New York, in an attempt to stampede the German-American vote against Wil son. It begins to look as if time is more than sufficient when Hughes and his crowd will no be able to fool even some of the people some of the time. OVER CONFIDENCE. We do not know exactly what the Democratic National committee classes as a campaign trip. Perhaps, there may be a sufficient number of speeches before nori-partisan leagues (such organizations can always be scared-up when occasion! demands) to substantially and "adequately take the place of what the country has wont to look upon as a genuine speech-making tour. These trips could be inter spersed with a sufficient number of rear-platform speeches of course, unexpected and merely presented be cause the exigency popped up - but if the idea of the campaign manage ment is to put the soft-pedal on speecnes Dy resident Wilson, ij. is indulging in a Very dangerous prac tice. The present campaign Is developing into one of unusual vigor, when the Republicans are leaving no stone un turned to accomplish their object . They are appealing to every side and going, into every nook and corner in order to reach the voters . It . is true the masses are not fools; today they are in a better position to see and to judge than ever; not only is this happy state, this self-protection condition due to better communication, ' but to desire to investigate and think for one's self. Yet there can be a muddy ing of the waters temporarily from which the voters might not emerge Un til too late until too late for their own good. The Democratic party, too, could be over-confident, could rest too content upon dignity. Even if cer tain of re-election President Wir son should make assurance doubly sure by getting out among the people. This is an American form of govern ment. The people like to see and hear their ruler, and it is. not "peanut politics," nor beneath the dignity of the office for the candidate for the high office of President to discuss the issues in serious way. This country is goverend by policies, not by personal likes and dislikes, and just what policies are applied depend upon what party is placed in power. It is not undignified, therefore, to discusse these policies; for an ardent advocate j to urge support on the platform, as they must be, in the opinion of the advocate, vital to ' the welfare of the country. . ... - Congress is not in session. The President has time to make . nA a 1 1 1 1 J 1 m V wmca is synonymous witn tne good oi the country, whether they be called a "campaign tour" or addresses before non-partisan bodies.

THE BRIDGE QUESTION. After the turmoil and the smoke of the contentions had died away it was not difficult to guess that the govern ment would not .approve placing a bridge over the Cape Fear river, at Market street, according to the spe cific plans submitted. Therefore a negative decision was not unexpected. However, the government only passed on the particular plans submitted, as we understand it, whch does not close the case at all, and The Dispatch is 1 patch argued before, no one location, nor any one particular type of bridge should shackle the movement so that success will not materialize.

De;a BUT DOES HE MEAN IT? j Huehfcs Nominee Charles Evans stands for the principle of arbitration, so he says, but to what extent and for how long? The Republican party pos-1 sesses such a record of broken promis-j es and Mr. Hughes has been squirm-j ing so ever since he abandoned the bench that what proof can he offer,! that his party would provide arbitra tion for anything and anybody? What proof could be offered to the contrary? it might be asked. Simply that some years ago the Republican party insert ed as one of the big planks of its platform a declaration for establish ment of an arbitration board, which would deal with .interstate commerce questions, thus settling controversies quickly and without hurt to the pub lic. Yet the Republican party failed to keep that pledge apparently forgot all about it . Had the promise been kept the country would not have been confronted with a nation-wide railroad strike several weeks ago. While it is admitted that woman doesn't pay attention to the word "obey" in the marriage ceremony, it must be confessed that she is the only partner that does adhere to the 'for &ni thin.

Qn Trip to v Points at Fronts He Keeps Behind The Somme Front, Sept. 20. There never was a time when :. so little was known of the Kaiser's move ments a3 at present. When he decides upon a trip to some point on the front, it Is kept as secret as possible, and if ever reported, in the German press is delayed until the royal visitor is far away perhaps on the other side of the empire. It;is believed Emperor Williams visits the front more fre - ammtlv than anv other ruler. V-i southern section of the Somme front HI A 1 ' i it 11 ' tti4 aia not iearn umn weu pc j that the emperior at nine o clock on, the morning of the day just breakingj would review as. many of the troops as could be assembled at a point a )few miles back from the fighting but still within sound of the guns. The correspondents ' were on hand before the appointed time and had a chance to see some manouvering that would have done credit to first line troops in peacetime . . On the dot of nine the companies drew up in parade formation on a broad level ground that was formerly a backyard of an ancient chateau. They formed three sides of a square, at one end of which was a military band, and in the center the officers. Half an hour after the appointed time the Kaiser arrived in a lean, gray automobile. He sprang from the car with the vigor of a young man. He wore the helmet of a general of in fantry, but the tall boots, coming in front high above the knee, of a cuir rasier. He cast from his shoulders the long gray cape with a fur collar in which he is shown in his favorite pictures, and with a stride of long steps lifting each foot high from the ground.

SNAKES HELD HUNTERS, Two Were Shot in Deqerted House - But Third Kept Guard. Williamsport, Pa., Sept. 20. Four Williamsporters were held prisoners in a deserted house along Little Pine Creek by rattlesnakes for an hour. A party composed of E. C. Fleming W. H. Hyman, H. S. Bubb and C. P. Long are spending a vacation at Eng lish Centre. They were hunting woodchuck and traced two into the deserted house. In looking for the animals in the dark house they aroused three , rattle snakes, which blocked the only dooj in the place. Revolver shots killed two of the reptiles, but the third remained on guard, striking viciously at the men who were without clubs, as they at tempted to jump out of the door, un til a fisherman, attracted by the shots, came to the Williamsporters' aid and killed the snake. SCARLET FEVER IN HICKORY Hickory, Sept. 20. The. Hickory public schools did not open Monday as per program as several cases of scarlet fever are prevalent here and the authorities thought it best to post pone the opening date. The school children will gather, Friday and each will be inspected. This action was taken by the city council" after having been advised to take this move by a number of the prominent physicians here. . .. . . -' -. None of the cases have been severe but it was thought best not to run any risk arid a thorough inspection will be made of all children.
