Now altogether the common folks of the United States. ' ' -- .' Not in years has there been a N ational election of such great import ance, such intense interest-and of more general concern. So realizjfcng this and wanting' the people of Wilm ington and this entire section to get the" first news and the best news of t he election, both results-; and side lights, The Dispatch has made elabo rate preparations to provide theni with a service that will be second t o none in the South. Two wires'iwill be used to get the first news of the e lection results from all over the coun try and to obtain all details for Dispatch readers, or any others who de sire such. ( - ,.

These wires will-be. in full operation from early Tuesda y e veiling until Wednesday morning.

CARELESS WITH CHRISTIANITY. 1 i Of course; no man knows just "how Strange things happen when the the election will result. No mortal is! martial spirit rings in the heart and possessed of power v to divine the fu-i excitement surges through the blood. ture and well so. That the claim of i A Mew YorK divine last Sunday tooK somebody will be verified by the elec tion returns is just as ?rne "ias the i pulpit, the President of the" United occasion to denounce, and from tho election will be held. This not be cause of any man's superior knowl edge in guessing, but simply that every phase of the likely result being covered it is impossible for the out come to escape all guesses. One set of men claim a landslide States because he had not joined the Allies in warring upon Germany. Augmentation of 6ln is a new thing for the pulpit; also a dangerous one, if the church is to exist.

One side declares it will! son and carrying further conviction. be close, but with Hughes being elect- If this weather, will only continue who cares how high the price of coal goes ? Yet another question involved in the election Tuesday is will the masses be asses? Next to the Wilmington Corn Show the greatest event of next week will be the election. Those who vote for Wilson are going to be on the right side even if it turns out to be the outside. Henry Ford is a man of peace, to be sure, but we hope he puts on his fighting toga on Tuesday next. Whatever is the result of the elec tion we believe Theodore Roosevelt has thoroughly enjoyed the campaign. Of course, many will deem the ten dency of the undertakers of Atlanta in favoring cremation a shame. ed, while another side reverses this contention. Out of the mealstrom of predictions one is bound to be right. But we do not believe that any man can logically back his prediction at this moment. Figures, that are in prospect, can be twisted to suit any to the fair-minded that Woodrow Wilson is hated because he is neu tral; but this political unworthiness is a mere incident alongside the bearing it has, or rather could have on Christianity. : Perhaps, the divine who advocates war would seek to justify his course taste; desire can innately influence i upon' some such theory as "the survi a prediction, and bluff can often make val of the'fittest.f' but this philosophy the voice proclaim what the mind ; would be twisted into horrible From a logical ' chape for such occasion.

This should be considered burning) sufficient grounds for basing a logi cal prediction of Democratic victory, but the faulty part is the peculiar nature of the campaign. Tne con glomeration of ill-feeling that is being cemented on a common ground to After hearing the results some folks will have a brown taste in their mouths and some others will have swell heads. . Illumination of the Statue of Lib erty reminds that some folks' idea of liberty is being able to get lit-up whenever they want to. in the Great Record. It is true that the Mot,, -rfc divine might argue that Germany is a great menace to civilization, to Christian ity and therefore needs to be throt tled. Yet might not another clergy man contend thesataa thing about Great Britain, and what a quagmire this would leave the question in; fight the President is ominous.! what a mockery it would make of the These parts could not exist in har-j Gospel to present the church as a mony together, and will not should ' dragnet to pull innocent parties into they elect their man, but with the help of the Republican tricksters and the backing of Wall Street they are a bloody conflict.

Politics should Another consoling thought is that in a couple of days you will get rid of the candidate's handshake and campaign stogies. a menace to Democratic success.' be made subservient to Christianity; More, they are a menace to American ! not s master. happiness. THE PEOPLE'S PART. A man in-Pennsylvania claims to have discovered a rose worth $15,000. Germany has a Rose on U-53 that's worth many times that sum. Andrew Carnegie is going to spend coin to elevate the stage. If the movies keep on he may first have to spena it to Keep tne stage m existence. Sure the streets of Ne York were jammed last night to behold the Hughes parade. But just like when people flock to see a circus parade they go to see and not be seen. Perhaps, it would be philosophical to remark that after Tuesday the country will be able to settle down, but the people will continue to have the same -old nard time settling up. John M. Parker still adheres to it that there is going to be a landslide for Wilson. We hope the brother is speaking his candid conviction and not merely doing it to make his for mer comrade, Colonel Roosevelt, grit his molars. Tuesday will come the great corn combined Teutonic - Anglo - French -Wall Street drive against the good old U. S. A. Whether the masses will swarm over the ramparts of the Dem ocratic party to repel it is the question. Here comes along Hughes talking about the, high cost of living under the Democratic administration, tln- LI J - 1 Un4U T T 1 . g;iauuuB iiiauc uj uum uuguco ex 111.1 Roosevelt, it would have been the high cost of dying.

THt CORN SHOW THIS WEEK Once again, more elaborately than Undoubtedly, if people would go to stores and make purchases instead of sending orders and demanding quick delivery, which necessarily must be expensive, as every one wants his or v her order at once and before, will Wilmington this week first, the cost of living would be cur stage its annual corn show. How- .tailed, to say nothing' of a better ever, it is not the child of this city grade of goods being obtained by per alone, but it belongs to the entire sonal inspection and selection, county, to this section. Wilmington j But this is not the only way the is but the happy setting for the jewel. Cost could. -be brought down, and by It is proud of this honor and intends the DeoDle. too. Compare todav with to do ali it can . to make the gem -sparkle. The corn show is what may be called a co-operative event of this section, as it is fashioned, created and participated in by the people of all the surrounding counties. In fact, that is what makes it such a big suc cess, both in an entertainment way and for great value obtained in cre ating deep interest, in better familiar izing the people of this section with their chances, stirring in their breasts the determination to take advantage of them, and in advertising to the world at large what this section has. The corn show presents exhibits of field and factory and of the grazing land and the kitchen; of the handi work of the woman with the needle and the thrifty housewife in general. It rests solely upon a substantial basis. There is no glitter and glare of fantastic attractions, but the en tertaining feature is in the exhibits, which are worthy; many of them a revelation. Greater , preparations haveY been made for this year's event and much larger crowds are expected. Wilming ton wants all to come them a royal welcome, and assures them of something indeed worth while in the annual industrial and Ag ricultural fete. yester-year and it will be observed how tastes run to Useless extrava gance. It is true that there are peo ple who are haviner a riifficult time getting along, yet do not indulge in all the "isms" of fashion and do not spend money recklessly, because they do notshave it to spend, but they, after all, are but reflections of the extravagance of others. The high cost of living created in one way radiates through various channels and everyone feels it. Those who strain to meet , certain demands' at tempt to make it back some way; so wages and higher-priced articles fall .within the grip. ' A little more common sense in spending money on things which are not necessities and in taking up the slack, by eliminating superfluity, would result in the getting of more necessities, especially on the table. The betting odds in New York; more especially in that locality known as Wall Street, are on rfughes, but it remained for Tammany to delve into history and give consolation.
