Right there? he parts vfith jthose whiskers' and takes the initiatory step towards the" complete finish which comes to those who hang around Washington long enough to feel their oats with, both hands. A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY ERING. GATH- North Carolina Democrats, some time in April, are going to have a con vention -antedating the regular State convention. We don't know that we should call this first gathering of Democrats a convention, for its mov- ing "spirits have invited us to take part in "a popular meeting for the purpose of putting before our people a constructive programme for 1914,in matters -f public character." .That: sdunds all right to us. At first, this movement for having some sort of Democratic' understanding be fore : the regular State convention, probably about June 3rd, was herald- ' ed as a programme to organize a "pro gressive ; Democratic party." That scared a. lot of Democrats. They thought some kind t ' of insurrection was on foot, but it turns out to be . only a caucus previous to a casualty. ; The truth is, certain Democrats in the State thought it was about time for the Democratic party in North Caro lina to have some well defined purpos- es as well as certain more or less well defined principles, so they invited all Democrats without regard to what kind theyjare.supposed,to be, to agree to meet at- Raleigh on a date hereaf , ter to be named, for the pumosfi nf considering certain - propositions for wnicn tney tnought the. party should - vimo uux siana ior as. a . pany. . .We think the Democrats of North ?af?uJ.!" 0USlit to attend the "popular meeting to be held at Raleigh in res ponse to a call ; issued by a " sub-committee composed of J. W. Bailey, H. Q. Alexander and Clarence Poe. We think every Democrat is entitled to a hearing by the People's party, and where two or three Democrats are gatheced together in "the cause of Democracy, we 'believe 'that the Demo cratic party should hold any kind of a reception they want held, except behind closed doors.. We believe in plenty of fresh air, and can stand anything but the gum shoe. -When it is "open and above board," we are for it, and that is what it strikes as that the progressive conference at Ra leigh is' to be. With reference to the call, fbr what we prefer to call .a con ference, Messrs. Bailey, Alexander and. Poe write us: i ; , "The meeting has no other purpose or motive but to serve the State and the Democratic party by providing means for increasing public , interest and getting some concert of action in side the party in behalf of such measures for the upbuilding of North Carolina as the convention may ap prove. It is not even understood that each signer favors all the items in the list of subjects suggested for discus sion; he only advises that they have consideration at the meeting." That seems to be a free for all meeting and we don't see why any Democrat should stay away. If a few dyed in the wool, one-idead Demo crats of one panticular kind were in vited, it would be different, but every body who is an affiliating Democrat is invited. It is to be no packed conven tion, but a square, open affair with propositions made in black and white beforehand. " We have carefully looked, over? those, propositions; in fclaclc ndf,jwhit which have' beeri Jfrroadeasted ' as "Some , Subjects : ioronWdejration There are eight subjects, arid they aj& worth consideration whether we agree to all of the m or not. We can't state off-hand whether we would agree to all the propositions ' or not pine some of them are not fully defined, but the, real vital. subjects outlined ane. what The fStar has urged tor at' least 12 years and what the Democratic party should have been pledged to 25 yearsago. " - - Some of the subjects involve the vi tal principles of popular government for which the Democratic party stands, while some of them are poli cies affecting State, andMocal condi tions. All of them are worthy of con sideration by Democrats, whether they agree to all or not, hence we ap prove the call for a Democratic mass meeting at which we can indicate to the State convention what we want the party to stand for. "The? Star takes the position that any respecta ble number of Democrats can get to gether and make declorations, and even demands, for the consideration of the organic, deliberative body of the State Democracy, represented in the regularly called State Democratic convention. , " No mere conference of Democrats can bind either the party or individu al Democrats, hence The Star hopes all shades of opinions will be -represented, at the mass meeting which1 is to be called at some stated day for assembly in Raleigh. Wie tand strong ly for some of the propositions to be considered at the Raleigh confab, and whetlierwe "are .fox iagaint., sonie of them,' 'after a full, hearing, we do stand for a square, open, free for all, mass meeting in which all Democrats can raise their voice. That is the on ly way we can make the Democratic party truly the part- of the people in deed as well as in name. We are willing to meet all Democrats in the open. BOB GLENN AND HIS JOB. By way of passing, we get this from Webster's Weekly: "Former Govern or Glenn says he expects to pull off his coat and go : to . work ' while on; the Boundary Commission,' He has been in the habit of taking off his collar in his - strenuous political campaigns." , fJ WelL we have seen JiimlgetJhotJiri the collar. .when he got down to work on the ,sump. When he shucked tht collar there was. something doing, tdo, and if there ever was a North Caro linian who could resist the pathos of his' masterly, appeal to his pride of race and State, he must have decided that he was . not going to love old North Carolina any more. We have heard Bob Glenn when he soared right up on to , eloquential heights, and if he did not have the crowd with him when he eased down and left the ver dict with them, it was an audience that was not composed of men who had North Carolina sand in their craw. In 1898, North Carolina had her Bob Glenn no less than her Charley Ay cock. The- latter is enshrined in the hearts of loyal North Carolinians and some day they will pay tribute to his memory in stone or bronze. Aycock sleeps in a hallowed grave,. but Glenn Is here yet, and, lest we forget, North Carolinians owe him homage along with Jarvis, Simmons and every bles sed loyal son who wrested North Car olina from, the blight,of "fusion" and placed her next to the hearts of her loyal people. ' Bob Glenn may not be the ideal nor the idol of all of us, but when we green up our memory a bit we must. an agree that if tbre are any chap lets to be worthily bestowed we shduld pick out the brow of Robert Broadnax Glenn for as big a chaplet as. all the people of North Carolina can carrv. When his collar went back on him and he laid the limp thing in the junk neap, ne did so to give free vent to the volcanic power that was Dent un in his breast-Lungs? No, v Heart. It gave free, reign to his voice andvit came out in such immense - volume that there was plenty of it to carry home. - ... . ......', North Carolinians will never know what a debt they owe ,to men like Simmons, the dauntless field marshal ; Aycock, the resourceful fcattle chief, THE MORNING STAR,' and Glenn, the fearless gladiator who fought his best with his collar crump led up beside the water pitcher. ; So far as .we are concerned we hope thati boundary commission job is a soft "snap for North Carolina's former Governor, the logical succes sor of Governor Aycock as North Car olina's chief executive. We hope he will simply have to make out like he is ; working overtime, but, as a matter of - fact, North Carolinians who have a memory ought to hope he has land ed,..on EasyStreet without ever hav ing to shuck off his collar as he did when he was on the job for the re demption of the Tar Heel State. i Oli, well,1 all ; the ways of -men are not . absolutely the ways of all of us, but when any of them have run the race with' us and for us ;and got there several laps ahead of all of us, we ought to come up. on time and make, a noise that -will do credit to their maximum fdf -' vanning waysr "There are some men who deserve what's coming to them, and if they get it in hunks we are about as glad as if -we had something- equally as good. THE OTHER FELLOW. "There's a good side to every fel low," said a Wilmington man . who was greatly interested in the recent local campaign in this city. Referring to another man, the party of the first part said he always regarded the oth er fellow as a kind of drifting iceberg till he got to hobnobbing with" him :n politics. Then he found the other fel low a live wire, not to say the whole battery, aiid that he was not only clever but companionable and true sis .stel. Others ' wohblet?

' That is when we are the same kind. When men have the same point of view, it's 'something! like pfeing in the same fam ily. A man's brother may have his faults,-' buU the 'true- man will always be hTs brother's brother. Isn't every man our brother when we are:. willing to overloqk his faults and decide to pull together? Even the fellow with the different point of view has his good points. He may be against us today and yet pull with us tomorrow. He then becomes "a bully boy with a glass eye." Then, why is it that we feel like knocking the spectacles off a man who refuses now and then to see through the same spectacles with us? 1 When men get to pulling together and fighting fn the same cause, they forget their 'differences. ,l They find that each has his strong points. AH men have their reserve forces, and" when they get together it is strange how resourceful they find, practical ly, every man. We are everyone' brother when we get to pulling fof Wilmington, and the fact is when some one trods on Wilmington's "sore toe" there is not a man in Wil mington that.won't say "ouch!" ; W.e ftiynk .the . live .wires afid the icebergs should gt in touch anil warm up towards each other in the".commu ity point of view that we should all pull for Wilmington.

To the Editor of The Star: Your editorial appearing in vour is sue of the 22nd has been called to mv attention, wherein you advocate the consolidation of the Commercial Club with the Chamber of Commerce. In this connection, I wish to say that no one appreciates the loss to the com munity of the progressive and ener getic president of the Commercial Club, Mr. c; N. Evans, more than I do, and I bid him godspeed in his new activities. However, as you suggest m your paper, it simply pronounces the need of some action along the lines indicated in your article As a member of both the Chamber of Commerce - and the Commercial Club, I wish to state "that 'I cannot now see the need of the two Organizations. At the time the: Commercial Club was organized, it seemed to hold out some hope of serving a need that was be ing neglected by the Chamber of Com-, merce. But now that the club has been formed and; its membership put into harness, a great deal of new hlood an Joung men having been brought mto ft, I cannot -but think ' that the bestnnterests of the community would be (Served 'by a consolidation of the two institutions. . You have very clearly 1 pointed out the savings in expense and also the avoidance of the two s bodies working at cross purposes in their efforts for the development of the city's indus tries. Nothing more need be said on those .points as the argument is irre sistible. The .keyword to the situation, how ever, is co-operation, That is to say, what is needed in the present situa tion is co-operation, and not division. Certainly by joining forces and unit- WILMINGTON.
