Sunday, November 13. A lecturer says "women shouil learn to argue." That lecturer is come upstart who Goesn't belong to the married men's union. The Republicans carried Rhode Is land W a majority of only 903. When Senator Aldrich decided not to be a candidate for the Senate again he was guessing pretty close at the slim chances he would have to be re-elected. The Democrats, having .carried the Legislature in West Virginia, will elect a United States Senator to suc ceed Nathan B. Scott, Republican. The Hon. Henry Gassaway Davis, Democratic candidate for Vice Pres ident in i904, is a candidate for tne Senatorship. '. Senator Erkins, the other Republican Senator, is Mr. Davis son-in-law. An Atlanta woman has sued har husband for divorce because he gave her the silent treatment, refusing to say a word to her .or jaw back for a , whole month. If there is anything that a woman can't stand for it's si lent insolence. In order to keep on friendly terms with his wife a man is supposed by her to have spunk . enough to take part in a family dis turbance. The importance of voting is illus trated in the election of Robert E. r Lee, Democrat, in a Congressional ! ( district in Pennsylvania. His major ity was only 49 over his Republican opponent, but there are instances where candidates have been elected . by only a majority of one. It is a duty every man owes to' himself and his country to register and exercise the right of citizenship. No citizen i should be as Indiffrent as the thou sands or more men in New Hanover who stayed" away from the polls last Tuesday. The State penitenitiary farms will this year produce 1,200 bales of cot ton valued at about $90,000. Besides this there are bumper crops of corn, peas, potatoes and other products, it is gratifying, that ' the . penitentiary farms are self -sustaining and will this year make a net profit of ?110,0U0 lor the State. The Republicans and Popu lists in fusion days piled up a debt of $100,000 against the penitentiary. Democrats are different and that is the reason the people decided by a big majority to keep a competent ad ministration in charge of the affairs of their State. Some Republicans who cannot see beyond the point of their noses are already predicting a panic because or Democratic success. They seem to enjoy a panic rgularly every, ten years under Republican administrations. We should think they would nave enough of .'.the Roosevelt panic during , which four times as many National banks failed than during the so-called Cleveland panic which was .inherited- from Harrison's administration I and was cured by Cleveland when he secured repeal of wild-cat silver cer tificate Republican "jlnancial legisla tion. The financial. loses and the , number of 'unempoyed during the - Roosevelt panic were enormous com- pared with . the depression under ; Cleveland's administration. In Nortn , Carolina alone last year the number of unemployed was' 36,000, and tars is four years since ,the panic began, leaving some of it 111 effects to this "Very day. Republicans certainly - should quit howling about panics ana ' hard times in view of the Republican 'panic ; records; with, which all ought to be familiar by this. time. . COMING DRAINAGE CONVENTION. ..The drainage Question throughout North Carolina does ' not alone em brace the movement tor. -the drainage of swamp lands, but it involves the importance of draining all our lands uplands as well as lowlands, This question must be considered from a scientific standpoint and there ls.no better way for the farmers of Nor,th Carolina to get posted on the. value; and importance of drainage than to attend the third annual meeting of the North Carolina Drainage Associa tion to be held In Wilmington, begin ning November 21st and continuing three days. The Hon. J. A. Brown, of Chadbourn President of the Drain age Association, writes the Start' "I desire to thank 'you for the arti cles that have recently appeared in The Star on the question of drainage. This is a-question of . such vital im portance to the whole State, and es pecially to the territory tributary to Wilmington, that we cannot have too much agitation. It Is my ambition to make this convention the largest In the history of the Association, and I will appreciate it very much if you will keep up a systematic agitation until after the 1 21st. One thing that I wish to call Especial attention to is that most of the papers treat this matter as swamp drainage, or the reclamation of swamp lands. Drain age is of equal importance to the av erage land now under cultivation, and is the first ,that should receive atten tion, as it will so materially increase the yield, and do so at Very much less cost than it would should we at tempt to drain the swamn'ilands first. If the idea prevails that the drainage question Is only applicable to swamp lands, people will not aloe hold of it so universally as if treated in a gen eral way. A much; larger per cent, or the people are more vitally interest ed in properly drained uplands than they are in reclaiming swamp lands." President Brown calls attention to an important feature or the drainage movement. Tha'is that it covers the entire question of drainage, a matter which we have heretofore emphasiz ed. Some of the best uplands we have seen in North Carolina badly J need drainage and in many - instances our farmers do not recognize it. Some of their lands, ' which apparently are well drained, could be vastly improv ed and made more productive and val uable by scientific drainage, terracing and diking, and all these questions will be interestingly discussed at the forthcoming drainage convention In Wilmington. Among the distinguish ed speakers to be bare will be a drain age expert of the National Agricultur al Department. Drainaee Commis sioner J. O. Wright, State Geologist Joseph Hyde Pratt, Congressman John H. Small, and others. All the counties in the State should send delegates and get in touch with this great question. President Brown writes that he Is receiving letters from a good many of the county commissioners through out the State informing him that they are appointing delegates and hope to have a good attendance at this con vention. Wilmington will be glad to have a great attendance at this con vention, not only because of. the im portance of this progressive under taking, but because it will afford the people of Wilmington pleasure to have in their midst the substantial North Carolinians who are coming here, either by appointment or be cause they desire to come and re ceive the benefits to be derived from the convention. Wilmington is getting ready to en tertain the convention Jn' fine style, and among the pleasures being ar ranged for the entertainment of her visitors will be a trip down the his toric Cape Fear and swift trolley rides to Wrightsville Beach. Be sure to come to Wilmington when the con vention meets on Monday of -next week. Says the Baltimore Evening Sun: Some Republicans profess to be lieve that the election insures TaffsJ success in 1912." It's a good idea to chase rainbows when the horizon is gloomy. The cheerful optimist has pessimist "beaten to a frazzle.'. An eating contest has begun at Chicago with '250 entries. How many. will come out alive it is difficult to say, x but most of them would rather take chances on eating than to go in a mad speed automobile race or par ticipate in an aviator's contest. A rockbound Republican District in the mountains of Kentucky,; having elected the notorious Caleb Powers to Congress will show President Taft what the morale of his party Is in the South. When a ' pardoned convict can get the votes of any party the limit is reached. " - ' The: Durham .Herald remarks: .

The Glass- Trust which was under indictment made no contention against the government's cause and fifteen officers and directors of the trust were fined $500 each of $7,500 tor the bunch. In addition to that, a fine of $2,500 was imposed upon the corporation 'itself, together with the costs. The total fines amount to $10, 000, a mere batatelle at which the glass trust will laugh, as the tariff benefits, not mentioning their legiti mate profits, will amount to more ,0 - j- v,,wmiieht at Gennlnieal Hall, in West ness. No man was put in jail and the fine hardly amounts to a decent license to go right on with the busi ness' in violation of the . anti-trust law. ' .. - J '' It is presumed that the government compromised the case with the un derstanding that the glass combine will dissolve, for it is announced that it will do so immediately. That means that it will simply change its form but not its methods, following the plan of the . paper trust and all other trusts that have been busted. The glass trust was incorporated a3 the Imperial Window Glass Company which controlled' the products of glass factories in twenty or more states. The fact is7 about 1 all the glass manufacturers were in the combine and with competition among them destroyed by their getting to gether, .they had increased the price of windrow glass to 60 or 70 per cent. over and above the regular selling prices. The government alleged that the trust constituted a monopoly and controlled prices without competi tion, in restraint of trade. Of course, the Imperial Window Glass Company was a trust ami mon opolized the window glass business, absolutely having . it in its power to fix whatever price it chose. it could not only increase prices from CO to 70 per cent, but more if it had desired to do so. It was enabled to do that under the Payne-Aldrich tar iff law' which provided protection to the amount of 41 to 74 per cent Pro tection like that absolutely debarred foreign competition apd in order to eliminate competition among them selves in a market walled in for them by the tariff they combined. They not onlyj combined to keep prices stationary but when they destroyed competition among themselves they put up prices from CO to 70 per cent. as charged by the government and a3 confessed by the trust. The election is "over now but what Republican or what Democrat can' deny that the glass trust was enabled by the tariff to combine at Ihe expense of' every body who buys awindow glass? The government will claim that It had busted the glass trust, but in ome mysterious way the price of window glass will , not be changea. The tariff on glass was levied by Re publican Congresses to permit glass manufacturers to get the benefit o an increase of 41 to 74 per cent, over the foreign prices and as' a matter of ourse American manufacturers . will take advantage of it. The glass trust is only one of the many trusts who are doing that same thing under the Republican tariff system which has caused the voters of the United States to rise in resentment and bring about a Democratic landslide There is no reason why Col. Roose velt should become the unspeakable clam instead of the big noise. V r : When you come to think of it, the Republicans; who voted the Democrat ic ticket last Tuesday have every reas6n to be the happiest men in the bunch. , CURRENT COMMENT.

It now appears that the next United States Senate will have a Republican majority of 10 votes. Six of those 10, and probably more, will be insurg- 'ft ents . committed to the . doctrine of piecemeal revision of the tariff. Their votes, added to the solid Democratic vote, can carry any measure that comes before the Senate. In these circumstances it is quite probable that we shall shortly learn just what insurgency is. We shalt find out whether It is a thing of principle or of policy. We rnall find out whether the men who have made brave profes sions are ready to live up to those professions. And, Inasmuch as the solid Democratic vote will be requir ed to pass any! tariff legislation that may be proposed, we may also learn a thing or two about some of the mem bers of that party.

Expected Appointment Did Not Mate rialize Yesterday Salary. (Special Star Telegram.) Raleigh, N.-C, Nov. 12.- The ex pected appointment of an adjutant general to succeed the late General Armfleld, did not' materialize today. This is taken to mean that the Gov ernor has offered the place to some one who hesitates about accepting. There is evidently sure to be an ap- I i A r 3 Ti 1 v.Alt A 1 here Governor Kitchin's preference for Adjutant General is Col. S. W. Minor, of Durham, banker, said to feel he could ill afford to leave his business to undertake the Adjutant Generalship, on the salary, regarded very inadequate, now that residence is required in Raleigh. The pay is $1,600. There is sure to be a formi dable move on the approaching Legis lature to increase the salary consider ably. It Is believed here that in the event the Governor has offered the Adjutant Generalship to Col. Minor and he' will not accept, then Col. R. L. Leinster, Assistant Adjutant Gen- eraL will get the appointment. How ever, a number of strong applicants are making it difficult to predict just where lightning strikes; if not Minor. f ' GENUINE ECZEMA REMEDY. New Remedy That Cures Eczema Quickly. J.

Because they wish you to know at a glance the character of Redfern Whalebone Corsets. If the maker is willing to tell you the exact nature of the boning, you may be sure that he is equa ly careful in other mat ters, such as design or fit, in which you must trust to his skill. Sub stitutes for whalebone are used, hut they re main substitutes and not improvements. There has never been found a boning sub stance to adequately take the place of whalebone. Perfect corseting does not come from designing only, but from the combination correct designing, right fab rics for the specific model, and pliable, de pendable boning that will not "set" but will sustain the corset shape so that when adjusted to the form it moulds into the cor set shape.
