SHOULD BE IN ACCORD, Roosevelt got a coal miner's recep Saturday, Hughes put more in Nebraska. 'brass' How long the war lasts seems mere ly as long as life lasts. The betting odds are on Hughes, but the better odds are on Wilson. MrrHughes is such a man of peace that he is wiling to fight about it. "Chorus Girls Fight." But it is so easy for chorus girls to make up. Along with a Democratic President the country wants a Democratic: Con gress. .There is nothing more chaotic, nothing more -"iumbersome, cumber some and aggravating really, damag ing than a President of one political ,; - ... i- A- faith and a Congress of another. Of course, if Dartisan feeling did not enter into the discussions and control votes it might be different, but such is not the case. There is more or less desire on the part of eac,h contending side to discredit- the other; so as to injure it in subsequent elections; but while this is a demerit, there is the merit that each party has pledged it self to do certain things, each has a fixed policy and when matters are presented that come within the sphere of such things, the representatives of each party must stand true. There fore, while there are many things that come up which are not laid down as party principles, or party policies, and should be considered from a non partisan standpoint, there are some things, some very vital things, that do come within this .field and call for drawing lines. Just there is where a Congress and a President of the same political faith are needed. Mr. Wilson does well to call atten tion to the necessity of electing a Democratic Congress. He shows that he appreciates the situation. It also shows that he is not so saturated with nleanHtfaClhe . wfTl be, better equipped ' - ' ! '" ' to preach such ' doctrine as wlU ad vance the interest of the State-: and that he will feet like expounding it. Sioud it be obtained by-the ndn-resi-dent 'it will give him a- better .under standing of North Carolina and' will make him appreciate the great re sources of this commonwealth." In this the State fair is of especial value. All of the fairs throughout North Carolina are of much worth, but naturally, the one in Raleigh attracts more - attention, as it is . the , center one ; around it revolves all others and the entire people get a focus upon it. Its scope is wider and its reach long er thin;the r.st because t is a State fair, staged at' the' capital and direct ed by people from different parts of the State. battolrs; ar$ei tt. &J&$EU&tm. nf - STAR KICKER. l. I I I : " 3 MARKETING LIVE STOCK AND MEAT Government Specialists Give Result of iTheir Survey of Country. The Rumanians took a long time to get into the war but not long to get out of it. Wilson will be our next President, though Hughes would be our Mex. President. Those people whq are always kick ing would be in the deuce of a fix if they had wooden legs. Like measles, but more deliciously, of course, Sid Alyn every now-and-then breaks out in The Charlotte News. greed for office that he would be elect ed regardless of all else. He does not want the office unless he can be of service to the people. A NEW DISGUISE. , Alas, for the passing of old ideas. A visit to the scene shows that there is no longer red circus lemonade. It now appears mostly of amber hue. We trust if Colonel Roosevelt ad dresses the National Guard he will for once refrain from teling them that they should not be on the border. Harry Thaw recently paid a visit to Matteawan and some absent-minded keeper overlooked a good thing when he faied to turn they key after Harry had got in. In spite of feeing out, of sorts about his receotion at Wilkes Barre Satur day, Mr. Hughes' declaration that he is a man of peace must cause Colonel Roosevelt to howl. " What Bill Spiffin can't understand is why folks are always talking about communicating with Mars. Why don't they give the man a chance and try and talk to "paws" occasionally? Hughes tells the railroad men that the Adamson bill is a "gold brick." While Mr. Hughes undoubtedly under stands the bunco game thoroughly, yet his judgment in this case will hardly be accepted. ' "Don't give up the ship" was all right in its day, but when a submarine sends a shot screaming across the bow of a merchantman, that's the time to look f or Ahe small boats and don't you forget It. Perhaps the exportation of wheat Is not the cause of the high prices, but it was noticed that when the U-53 commenced operation the price of wheat took-a tumble. The New, York Herald's straw vote shows Hughes slightly in the lead, but the- Democrats will hardly con cede the election- on this when The Herald' poll is about one hundred thousand out of something like thir teen million votes that will be cast. Mr:& - The Asheville Times has joined the " v ranks of Sunday morning-afternoon Lvj' , dailies, and announces that shortly it t . will also become a seven-day-a-week Jy paper. This, .means that The Times '-"..'.-.5 .- besides issuing every week-day after . noon will, get out a Sunday morning fxf edition.

But so did the wolf that donned sheep's clothes and posed as a peace-maker. That is just the way he ingratiated himself into the hearts of the poor animals and fooled the optics of the shepherd. But after he had won the confidence, been elected, so to speak, what happened? Why, the sheep's robe fell off and the wolf staike'd about! "devo'dfiiig the poor sheep and saddening the heart of the shepherd. Of course, had the shepherd inves tigated when the disguised wolf trott ed up he would have discovered the deceptive, or had the poor sheep look ed closer, they, too, would have seen that disaster lurked near. Neither didthis, and so the tragedy was en acted. Yet, it sounds a warning. The people should investigate the claims of those who cry for peace. How? Easy enough. Review their past ac tion, think of their association and recall their former utterances. If they make this test as to the new man of peace,' Charles Evans Hughes,- they will not permit sheep's clothes to dis guise the wolf. What - claim has Hughes to being a man of peace? Not only his every utterance since he be came the nominee of the Republican party breathed the war spirit, but his declarations, beginning with the curt and very undignified letter of resigna tion he sent the President, have sav ored of a longing for strife. He has assailed President Wilson's Mexican and International policies, which have meant peace, without which there would not have been peace, and with men who are very bellicose, Theodore Roosevelt, for instance. Yet he talks of being a man of peace. This is simply molasses to catch the flies. He knows that the people of Nebraska are peace-loving, he has been told that the west and middle west are not'yell- ing for war, if peace can be maintain ed with honor, which Wilspn has done. So he proclaims that he, too, is a man of peace. It is not a discovery by the candi date himself, nor a conversion. It is simply a political trick and adds to the vagaries, the inconsistencies of the Republican nominee. About the only frank admission Mr. Hughes has ever made, one that can be fully un derstood and is not disputed, was that he is a "100 per cent, candidate." THE STATE FAIR. This is State fair, week and if the elements will nly "be good" the oc casion is going to be a most success ful one, unless all signs fail. Interest that has been manifest in the yearly event indicates a large attendance, in spite of the fact that this is election year and the wind-up of the campaignJ and the program shows that it is to be .one' of the best in entertainment and. the presentation of exhibits that will' coftvey a wealth of information to those who behold; not only inform ation that rwill , be of individual bene fit; but benefit to the State. Should thelreohts"bT Washington, D. C, Oct. 16.-r-Mark-ed variation in methods of marketing meat animals in different sections of the United States and in methods of marketing different classes of animals in the country as a whole has been found by specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture from a survey of the live stock mark eting conditions of the country. The data obtained by the survey has been published as Part V of a report of an exhaustive study of the meat situa tion in the United States. The three general methods 6t mark eting found to be in most common use are: Shipping to the large centralized markets, selling to local butchers and packers and the sale of farm-prepar ed' meats to dealers or consumers. The bulk of the animals from the Central States, it was found, is sold through the centralized markets while some form of local marketing predom inates in the extreme eastern, west ern and southern sections. The great central markets handle four-fifths of the sheep and lamhp, two-thirds of the hogs, and approxi mately one-half of the beef cattle. For local slaughter, about onethird of cattle and one-twentieth of the sheep and lambs, and one-twelfth of the hogs are sold. Nearly one-third of the hogs and about oneftenth of the beef catle and one-twentieth of the sheep and Iambs are slaughtered on farms and ranges. Relatively more sheep are shipped in carload lots by owners than any other class of live stock. Cattle, hogs and calves follow in the order named. In sales to local buy ers hogs lead, with- calves, cattle, and sheep following in order. The study discloses that the time of buying stockers 4 and feeders and the selling of finished animals is re stricted too generally to a few months of the year. Should stock-feeding op erations be better adjusted to market conditions, a decided influence to ward a .more even distribution of the supply would be the result. Co-operative associations of cattle raisers are becoming an important factor in marketing, the report shows. Seven hundred and fifty organizations! which market cattle in a co-operative way now exist in 15 states. Four hun dred and thirty of these organizations are primarily live-stock shipping asso ciations. The greatest activity of this sort was found in Mninesota, where 215 co-operative live-stock shippings associations are being located. The department specialists declare that these associations bring greater re turns to the farmers because of the reduction of marketing, expenses and the realization of the prevailing prices at the centralized markets, and that th-y are also valuable because of their educational features. Stockyards and Packing Establish ments. The system of centralized live-stock markets in the United States is the largest single factor in the marketing of meat animals. It is noteworthy that this system is peculiar to the United States, no other country hav ing developed such markets for their live stock. Not only is live stock sold for. slaughter at the centralized mark ets, but a large proportion of stocker and feeder cattle also passes through these market centers. The chief outlet for food producing animals in this country,- the study dis closes, is wholesale slaughtering and meat' packing. Such industries usual ly are associated with the great cen tralized markets. More than 1,200 slaughtering and meat packing estab lishments were operating in the Unit ed States in 1914, and turned out pro ducts worth $1,651,765,424. The spec ialists report that one of the striking features of the industry is the concen tration of ownership. ; Packing estab lishments buy indirectly from the pro ducer in California to a greater extent than in any other State or section.

On. one road the claims paid amounted to per cent of the reve nue during a certain period, . and! on another to less than 5 per cent. The total claims for such loss and damage in 1913-'14 on 27 ! railroads were $1,- 245,477.81. The average rates on live stock for the years 1911 to 1913 were found, to be -.10 cents per, hundred pounds for eastern or official territory, 11.9 cents for southern territory, and 14.9 cents for western territory. The correlation between average live-stock and meat prices over rela tively long periods is closer than is generally .understood.

Market Returns. In order to secure information as to the relative cost of the different factors or steps jin the process of marketing animals and the propor tions of the final price reaching the farmer and other parties to the trans actions, the" specialists traced several typical lots of beef cattle from pro ducer to consumer, both through cen tralized markets and' where the ani mals 'were disopsed of locally. In the former case the farmer's share of the gross returns ranged from 54 per cent to 85 per cent, while from 2 per cent to 5 per cent went to pay market ex penses, 2 per cent to 9 per cent was received by the packers, and 8 per cent to 33 per cent by the retailers. The detailed figures indicate, how ever, that even when account is tak en of the fact that lower grade stock is sold locally the returns from such sales are not as great relatively as those from sales through centralized markets. mage aganist the freshmahi , even, all from the 30-yard line. 10 1 rounds, at Kansas City.
