She may not make a record but she surely will make tracks notable for size. Absalom was in insurgent with long hair, but look what happened to him. However, Senator LaFollette is nol making as much noise as Absalom. A man might raise some objec tions to tag day, but his objections don't amount to much in the face of the taggers. Look- who pins on ihe tags ! Always mention Wilmington with a prideful smile and advance to the in ner circle in a manner than indicates that you belong in a city that is win some, worthwhile and wonderful. Let 'em fight. They are no kin. They are calling ' each othed liars, demagogues, tricksters and vote-bribers. There doesn't seem to be any undisputed facts in the case. Gee Buck! The once readical Wil liam J. Bry.'m is now classed as too reactionary to suit the wild and wool ly element that has grown up since the Netraskan begun to figure in Na tional politics. The lamented Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, once said: "Roosevelt's natural gait is running away." He only stops icng enough to paw up tha earth an then 'make another dash in the opposite direction. a Bt-ieuusi ciaims mat ne can change the color of a girl's eyes. Well, he is not the only artist who can make the eyes of people look different. Dur ing election times many, a fellow has cpme down town with blue orbs and gone back home with black ones. The Democracy might make some thing out of the bitter fight between the warring and caterwauling Republi can candidates, if the Democratic elig- ibles had not adopted all sorts of un scrupulous methods to get eachother's goat. Factional fights invariably re sult in disgusting a large element who become indifferent- if not resentful. The State Federation of Women's Clubs met in Winston-Salem on Tues day and will . conclude- with the elec tion of 'officers, oft Friday. There is no more '.potent influence for State 'progress Jalonr broad and practical lines than the club activities of the women of - North Carolina. The con spicuously apparent result is an Intel lectual uplift and" emphatic better ment of sociological and civic condl tions: . Club study and work Is in spiring our women with a wholesome Initiative and lawmaking them a vita force in creating a greater North Caro lina. Let 600,000; men in Norfn" Caro lina line up and' tip their hats to. the .women' who are -j demonstrating tuat woman's, .work ,Tis, broadening tier sphere - and .mpSftsizing her impor tance as a participant in modern progr Teas. The British steamship Foxton Hall is now taking on cargo of 1,000 or more tons of pig iron for export to Peru and Chile, on the west coast of South America. The steamer recently brought a cargo of nitrate of soda from the Chilean mines for fertiliser consignees- at this port, and she is to re turn with a cargo of Southern iron. Fifteen carloads of pig iron already have arrived and are being loaded on the ship, and at least twenty more car loads are yet to come to complete the cargo that is to go clean around South America to reach its destina tion. This is the second cargo of pig iron thus to be exported from Wilmington to Chile. The iron comes from Alaba ma furnaces and is billed from Bir mingham. The shipment came over the Seaboard .Air Line, is being taken aboard at the A. C. L. terminals, and the iron is exported by the United States Steel Corporation, the greatest iron manufacturing concern in the world. Thus Wilmington is made the ocean gateway for the mines and fur naces of the great iron producing re gion of Alabama. This is significant of what can be done when the Panama canal short ens the route to Chile by 5,000 miles. When Wilmington exported her first cargo of iron the Star pointed to it as illustrating the potentialities of this port as an ocean gateway for States far in the interior. In fact, we have since had several editorials on the srme line, and we again avail our selves of another opportunity afforded by the shipment of a second cargo of iron to the South American trade. These instances but emphasize the possibilities of this port, and a keen business community should make the most of it. We have here a concrete and practical demonstration of the use of a port with sufficient depth of water to do commerce for a vast ter ritory covered by numerous from Chicago to Alabama. We have often been asked by skepti cal persons what Wilmington could ex port if she had no manufactures. We have always answered that a port does not depend upon a circumscribed locality, but that we must look far away for business. A port is not in tended to serve a mere locality, but its business can be made to extend half across the continent. We now see what Wilmington can export. For one thing she can export iron transported from the interior across four States. She already annually exports $30,000,- 000 in cottcn which comes from sever al States as far away as Mississippi the port is available for the ex port of cotton' and iron several huri dred miles away, what is the matter cf exporting wheat and flour and pack ing house products from Chicago, Min neapolis, Cincinnati and other West ern points? Geographically Wilming ton is the port of those great -centres of trade and the possibilities are here for both a large export and import business for many .great distributing centres of the West, including Louis ville, St Louis, Memphis. Nashville Chattanooga, etc.. Closer to home, there are immense possibilities in the exportation of tht manufactured products of the cotton mills of the Carolinas and Georgia but there is no use to generalize but t is possible for Wilmington to do a large export business in machinery of all kinds when the Panama canal is- open for traffic. In fact, there ii no telling what business the interioi cities, will have to handle inward and outward through this port These possibilities of the port can be con verted into assets by a live business community. Ships come and go and they should come leaded and go back loaded. If, therefore, the import busi ness of the port is looked after as well as the export business, we would soon see the commerce of Wilmington as suming such proportions as to attract attention throughout the world. Our business men should look out for cargoes going and coming, for by that means they can build up the commerce of the port They may not wish to load the steamers themselves, but they might induce somebody away in the interior to do so. When a ship can bring a cargo and take one back, it reduces freight charges, and in the matter of export traffic with the west coast of South America, we have the advantage of having fertilizer interests which han die incoming cargoes while it seems that Chile and Peru furnish business for the return trip. Finally, we want to emphasize the fact that this exchange of commerce between Wilmington and South Ameri ca demenstrates the advantage of hav ing proper water terminals for hand ling commerce. But for the harbor terminals of Wilmington's two great railroad systems it would not be pos sible for cargoes tp come here for in terior rail shipment, and for export freights to be brought here by rai and go hence to all parts of the world Can we imagine what the possibili ties of the port .of Wilmington will be when the Panama . canal is open for commerce? . The port has potential! tfes far beyond; its present commerce The exportation of cotton, iron, naval stores, lumberj . timber, peanuts and other commodities but witness the avalabiiityof .Wilmington as an ocean gateway. REPUBLICAN HUMBUGGERY. CURRENT COMMENT. The Republican party might change leaders, but the hide of the big ele phant will remain the same in thick ness and toughness. The G. O. P. might promise tariff revision, but it never will overlook its unalterable ad herence to protection. The beneficia ries of protection know it and that is the reason they always subscribe argely to keep the Republican party in power. The people wanted revision of the tariff in the election of 1908, and the Republican platform held out just enough hope to them to hold their votes. Their confidence was misplac ed, but the Republican party will hard ly be able to deceive them again. At least we should not think it could, yet we can't always tell. The people may get promises, but it makes no diaerence wnetner Roosevelt or,. Taft is nominated or elected they will get protection not for them, but for the special interests. The people can expect to get it in the neck as usual and they can count on that from the crowd that is shouting for either Taft or Roosevelt In the Pennsylvania pri maries the Republicans voted over whelmingly for Roosevelt, and in the State convention a few days ago they adopted a platform declaring practi cally their old allegiance to a tariff, not ..for revenue, but for protection. Here is the plank with reference to that question: "We reaffirm our belief that the Re publican National platform of 1908 ex pressed the true American doctrine on the subject of protective tariff. That s, that the duties should be based on the difference of cost of production In this country and abroad." Let's see how the above pMnk squares with the tariff plank in the National Republican platform of 1908. The Star has often referred to the fact that the National platform, guar anteed a profit to special interests.and in order to contrast the Pennsylvania platform- with the declaration of the platform upon which Taft was elected, we reproduce here the tariff plank of 1908: "In all tariff legislation the true principle cf protection is best main- Statestained by the imposition of such du ties as will equal the difference be tween the cost of production at home and abroad, together with a reasona ble profit to American industries." There you are. Republican hum- buggery already has begun in the be- inning of the campaign. The Penn- sylvanian deceivers endorsed the above plank, but in their plank they misrepresented the real meaning of the National platform. They gave on iy a portion of the definition of the National plank, and left off the words 'together with a reasonable profit to American industries." The Roosevelt convention in Pennsylvania really re affirmed the National plank in plain words, but purposely left off reference to that guarantee of profits to the beneficiaries of the tariff. That was omitted to deceive the voters of Penn sylvania into believing that the Re publicans simply mean to take care of labor and not look out specially for that additional "reasonable profit" to American industries. The Pennsylvania platform might fool a lot of people into swallowing its tariff declaration as that of the Na tional Republican party, but it is not the National platform of 1908, nor will it be anything like that to be adopted in Chicago on the 18th of next month. if the National convention next month oes not reaffirm the tariff declaration Talk Rock Mount until you are blue in the face, and then you won't have said too much.

Columbia State. Tbe cotton acreaee is so very much reduced this year that the financial journals of the North seem to be afraid to publish the figures even atter getting them. That ought to look good to the man who is holding his cotton.- Florence Times. The ownershiD of a home makes a people of noble sentiments and stead fast virtues. Any family can own a home. The money paid for rent will always pay for a home in time. The idea ttiat it is cheaper to pay rent than to own a home is idiotic. It may be so for a time being as in some spe cial environment, but not generally. It is not the man. but the wife and children who appreciate the value of a home. These values are far from being all money values. Some of them, indeed most of them, are more important than any money values can ever be. Charlotte Chronicle. It is hoped that Mr. Taft will have better luck in Ohio than he had in Maryland .-and Pennsylvania and Illi nois. It would seem that the cam paign has gone so far that he and his supporters.must not only go into a speaking contest with Mr. Roosevelt, but that they must also put up enough money to buy votes as the Roosevelt people have been doing. , It is a piti ful spectacle, indeed, this, party quar rel within . the Republican ranks, and it shows, .among . other hings, very clearly that there; are .a;, great many Republicans in this country who are not fit to rule.

MINISTER EGAN BOOSTS CAROLINA. NORTH The-Hon. Maurice F. Egan, the able and distinguished Minister of the United States to Denmark, has a good eye, and ne nas cast it around over North Carolina in his practical way of making observations. He is a keen observer, and when he pointedly says, 'the proper scientific development of North Carolina's vast natural resourc es will make her the greatest State in the United States," he is speaking rom practical knowledge of the State's potentialities. X Minister Egan was not speaking ex travagantly when he gave to Greens boro newspaper men his expert esti mate of the immense possibilities for he development of North Carolina. He has been in the State and seen the conditions with a good pair of eyes. He has been over the new and the old world and he can speak comparative ly. Our Minister to Denmark con firms what The Star has always said n this same connection. He is better able to speak authoritatively, for he has had a wide range of travel and experience, and, therefore, can speak from what he has seen of North Caro lina and other countries. The Star reasserts, along with what he has said, that Minister Egan is jus tified in his estimate of North Caroli na, by the fact that the State not only has natural resources in soil, climate, and products, but on top of it all this potential area of future greatness lies within a day's railroad run from near ly one-third.' . the population of the United States.
