America always has been first. The convention city of North Caro-'lina- Wilmington. Of course, the primary law is not ef fective where it is net enforced. As Solomon would say, don't let them fool you with their mouths ut tering words without knowledge. The Republicans kept tne Moosers -out, out tne Moosers can get even by 'keeping Uncle Balaam on the job. New Yorkers are expected to fight for the country, but they prefer to re main in New York and fight for the The Democrats offer the Progressives a T. R. that they can pin their faith to.

It is reputed that a Kentuckian has on hand corn that 4s 100 years old, but no one has assumed responsibility for starting such a false report as that on any man in Kentucky. We once knew a town that was lock ed in every Sunday and nobody was al lowed to enter within its gates. We have often wondered why anybody should want to invade that town on Sunday. - j According to reports there were in stances in some North Carolina pre cincts on the occasion of the legalized primary of June 3 where the old soap box primary type of conduct was al lowed at the polling places. If that be true, there is work for. the solicitors and grand juries. Of course, the pri mary law is not going to enforce it self. '. If any of the opposition are too proud to fight, they had better not Jump on the St. Louis platform under the mis taken idea that they can wallow ft around and do something to it. That platform is a challenge and the rough necks are- invited to think they can pick a flaw in a single bold and defiant declaration in it. They can't even gnaw n it and hope to have a tooth left. The campaigners are going out and hurl that platform into the teeth of all the rag chewers who get gay enough tc tackle any of its planks. Republicans admit the prosperity of the country but attribute it ta the war in Eurone. Thus the RpnnhiiDno tribute prosperity to economic causes while the Democracy is in.power, hence they must admit that the same eco nomic factor controls the commercial situation when the Republicans are in v. . j. c, ine lugician would Bay that this country undergoes periods of prosperity in spite of both the po litical parties. .Nevertheless, how are the Republicans to account for the fact that only 5 per cent, of this countrVs enormous business can be attributed to the war? If every voter in America had read the speeches delivered at the Demo cratic National convention by ex -Gov ernor Martin H. Glynn - and Senator Ollle James, the re-election of Wilson would be a cinch iot that reading a speech would change the politics of the average voper, but the facts so irrefut ably set forth with such force and pow er by these men. would cause men ev erywhere to think r serious and rea son " the matter, out for themselves. Reason would prevail and that is. all that is necessary to guarantee .Demo cratic success ' at ' the polls tn Novem per. , - i ' ' . OVR GREATER AR1HT NTTCLEtTS. The grave situation in Mexico accen tuates interest in the new army law passed by Congress and signed a few days ago by President Wilson. The act nationalizes the militia organiza tions of the various states, heretofore f designated ,as the National Guard under the provisions of the Dick law. The new act takes the place of the Dick law and makes the National Guard an or ganized reserve of the regular army. The new act will become effective July 1st, and it will come none too soon in view of the needs of a mobile force to be relied upon in such emergencies as Mexico is making for this country in spite of the excess of friendliness and patience exhibited towards the neigh boring republic. Within the next two weeks the ad ministration army law goes into ef fect and then the reorganization of the National Guard can proceed with de spatch and system till the units in the various States can be combined into an effective reserve army. The new law will make the National Guard much more satisfactory to the en listed men and by far more ef fective as a part of the military estab lishment of the United States. The company officers will receive annual salaries of $500 for captains, $240 for first lieutenants, $200 dfor second lieu tenants, and $50 a year for enlisted men on a peace footing, with regular pay when called out for duty. Under the new law each state will be alldwed to recruit men for each senator and representative, so that North Carolina will be entitled to a National Guard strength of 2,400 men the first year, with stipulated increase each year for five years. Under the provisions of the law the National Guard of the whole United States will reach -a recruited strentgh of 547,000 officers and men in five years, when the companies are recruited up to their full strength, which no doubt will be required. The strength of the regular United States army under the law will be 211,000 officers and men, with 25,000 to be recruited in order to put it on a war footing. The combined regular army and reserve force will be about 750,000 trained men, ready for service at any time. While North Carolina will be entitled to enlist 2,400-men to start with, the number can be increased each year for five years up to a maximum strength of 800 men for each senator and represent ative, thus entitling this State to a full quota of 9,600 men. We presume it will be every bit of that- in five years, for already there is a probability that many new companies will be organized under the nationalized system. It al ready is a probability that Wilmington will organize another company of coast artillery. According to local military authorities, it is likely that as soon as possible North Carolina units will be reorganized into a full regiment of 13 coast artillery companies, to take the place of six such companies under the old plan of organization. It is impor tant that this be done in states with exposed coast lines to be defended and it is well known that North Carolina has a more extensive coast to defend than any other state except Florida. The reorganization will begin soon after July 1st, and on and after Novem ber 1st all enlistments in the regular army will be for seven years, three years of which will be for continuous service and four years for reserve ser vice, when called to the colors. Auto matically, each year a large number of men will go on the reserve list, and the regular army will require 14,600 new recruits annually to take the places of the men retiring. It is believed that under the new system we will have a regular trained army of not less than 500,000 men in five years, with' the pos sibility of reaching a maximum of about three quarters of a million men. Already greater interest in the duty of serving the country has been in spired in North Carolina as a result of the new law. The opportunities are in creased and greater efficiency is assur ed for the military units of the State. Aside from the patriotic service which takes precedence over every other consideration,- the men will feel that they belong to a regular military system that is under the efficient auspices of the regular army staff of the United States. WE HAVE ONLY STARTED TO MANUFACTURE Not long ago The Star urged that we must cultivate and acquire a genius for manufacturing if we are to be able to know of and take advantage of our opportunities to establish profitable in dustries. We really qverlook many such industrial opportunities because we are not up to snuff as forward look ing industrial promoters. The Manu facturers Record, June 15, contains an Interesting '. and inspiring editorial on the same line, for it emphasizes the fact that "An Atmosphere of Manufac tures Must be Created in the South." Comparing the manufacturing enter prise of New England with that in the South, The Record says: "Though comparisons may be odious, it is only by "comparisons that we can gain knowledge. It does not count very much, for instance, to say that. Georgia has $258,000,000 capital invest ed in manufacturing unless we can form some intelligent understanding of how that compares with what other States have invested in this way and at the same time ; study the facts in connection' vith; population, with area and advantages, and draw lessons therefrom. ; ;? ; ' "In 1814 Connecticut had invested in manufacturing a total or . $620,194,000 .The increase in the five-year period from 1909 to 1914 alone was greater by $22,000,000 than the total amount of capital invested in manuiacturing in Mississippi. - It was greater by $27, 000,000 than the aggregate manufactur ing capital of Arkansas. . . "The magnitude of this industrial de velopment in Connecticut is seen in the fact that it is $159,000,000 greater than the combined manufacturing capital of Georgia and South Carolina, and is $84,- 000,060 greater than the total . manu facturing capital of North Carolina and Texas. "These simple facts, striking as they are, can be better understood when it is remembered that the total land area of Connecticut Is only 4,820 square miles, while the land area of Georgia is 58,725 square miles, that of South Carolina 30,495 square miles and that of North Carolina 48,740 . square miles, while Texas is simply too big to talk about, with its more than 262,0000 square miles. But area alone does not count. "Connecticut has a population of 1, 200,000 only. Connecticut had invested in its factories in 1914 more than $500 per capita for its entire population, while Georgia in 1914 had only $92 per capita, or but little more than one-sixth as much per capita as Connecticut. "Rhode Islands is smaller than many of the counties in the South. Its total land area is 1,067 square miles. It might be cut off of any one corner of almost any State in the South and the rest of the State would never know that it had been lost, so far as area is concerned. But Rhode Island had in 1914 a manufacturing capital of $304,595,000, though itsC population was only 602,000. "Rhode Island, with an area of a lit tle more than 1,000 square miles, and with a population of only 602,000, had $46,000,000 more invested in manufac turing than Georgia, with its 58,000 square miles and its 2,800,000 people. It had' $101,000,000 more "money in fac tories than South Carolina, with over 30,000 square miles of land area and a population of 1,600,000. North Caro lina is accounted one or the prosper ous industrial States of the South, but, though it is 48 times as large as Rhode Island, and though its population is yearly four times as great, it had in 1914 $51,000,000 less capital invested in manufacturing than that tiny little state of New England. ' Running through the whole South in contrast with New England equally as striking statistics could be presented showing the amazing Inerustrial devel opment of New England as compared with the more limited industrial prog ress of the South. "In these figures there should be in spiration for the South, not discour agement. The inspiration should be found in the - limitless possibilities of this section, whenever the South pur sues with the same tireless energy its industrial development that New Eng land has given to its growth, in work ing out this truly marvelous manufac turing wealth." The South, of course, has made what, to us, is wonderful progress in manu facturing, but when it is put on a per capita or area basis we must admit that we have barely begun our indus trial development. Thus we recognize how great are the opportunities here in the South for manufacturing of all kinds, especially the diversified manu factures which make certain cities and states and sections so marvelously pro gressive and prosperous. We had occasion in a recent article to call attention to the genius of New England for manufacturing. For in stance, when the war began in Eu rope the New Englanders saw opportu nities to manufacture lines that the war would shut out of this country and also saw other opportunities in making articles which they knew that European and other foreign coun tries must have. The genius of the New Englanders got .busy, with the result that millions of dollars have been invested and many more millions in manufactures have been turned out in literally new and novel manufac turing establishments. We remember one branch of manu facturing that was peculiarly adapted to the South, but Mr. -New Englander did not see his opportunity in the South. He saw it at home. We did not see it till we saw that the New Englanders had seen it. Then it dawn ed upon us that we ought to have seen it first.. The fact is. we lacked the manufacturing genius and training to enable -us to see the opportunity that the New Englander saw. We will never acquire that genius unless we study very closely our man ufacturing opportunities. There are lit eracy hundreds of them but one of our faults is that we actually want others to come and take advantage of them. What is the matter with doing it ourselves? We would if we would only link down and study our indus trial opportunities in connection with the raw material resources around us. It is necessary for us to invest our selves with an atmosphere of manu factures and then our vision will so broaden that we will see hundreds of opportunities that we overlook or neg lect irom aay to day. Why can't we begin a systematic study of our in dustrial opportunities and post our selves clearly upon the adaptabilities and advantages that can be easily, dis cerned here in Wilmington by those who make even an academic study of the subject? MEN WHO KNOW OPPORTUNITIES. The Star is glad to voim. ,., newcomers to North Carolina a tw, J. M. Barr, former able president' of tne aeanoard Air Line, and once nmi- nent in the management of some of the progressive lines extend intr t Middle West. Mr. Barr has located in tne central portion of the State, be cause he picked out North Carolina as a land of opportunities. It is men like he who know what opportunities are and do not belong to a class nf who are frorr Missouri and even want to argTie nu they are shown. Intelligent and experienced men are quick to recognize the resources and to observe the adaptabilities of a country and so they know that there are appar ent opportunities 4n developing resour ces and in utilizing the Wrous adapta--bilities peculiar to each section of such a state as North Carolina. Mr. Barr has been forcibly struck with the splendid adaptabilities of this State for the live stock industry and so convinc ed is he that it is one of North Caro- Una's greatest opportunities, he ha issued a pamphlet containing a . num ber of letters written by himself and written to him by others with reference to the necessity for raising live stock in the South. Like others who observe the varied adaptabilities here and begin to make a study of them as opportunities, he sees in meat packing establishments the most potent and effeective means of making this a cattle, hog and sheep raising country, with advantages of the most striking character for the indus try. So deeply convinced has Mr. Barr become that this is an opportunity of great magnitude for this State, he has written vto the North Carolina Expert ment Station at Raleigh urging that a packing house plant be established at the capital city. The farmers of the central and western portions of the State would thus have a market for their live stock, while xThe Star would add that live stock associations organ ized in each county and promoted by packing house organizations would sys tematically develop simultaneously the live stock and meat packing industries. Here is a fine opportunity for local capital throughout the South, as The Star has pointed out for years. We had hoped North Carolina would be the pi oneer in the packing house-live stock industries, but Texas, Alabama, Geor gia, Florida and South Carolina have gotten in the lead and are furnishing us notable examples of success. Com munities in those states move very rap idly when they take hold of the oppor tunity, and a half dozen towns have made the record of oragnizing packing house corporations and getting togeth er all the necessary capital stock with in three weeks. They hustled for fear that some other town would get ahead of them. More than a half dozen pack ing houses have been set on foot in three months in Georgia, Alabama, Florida and South Carolina. Mr. Barr declares that this is the South's very greatest opportunity and the Manufacturer- Record agrees with him in a lengthy and forceful editorial emphasizing the fact that now is the South's time to move. All of this has been an old story with The Star for years, and we rejoice that the day is coming when North Carolina and all other Southern states will sooner or later realize that they can double the farm income of the South in a few years by means of cattle, hog and sheep rais ing, along with which diversified farm ing is a necessity in that connection. THE BRIDGE TO BRUNSWICK AND BEYOND! To the Editor of The Star: A gentleman, visiting a relative in this city, found no more interesting spot than the Ferry Dock. He was fas cinated by three existing conditions conditions that were trying to "make ends meet" so to speak in fact, his contemplations covered "Respice, As pice and Prospice." It was the primi tive means of crossing the river by ferry that held his attention; his mind reverted to the old problem, which ev ery school boy has tackled, the farm er with the drove of geese and the fox, and how he managed to get them across the ferry with limited capacity without loss. , This ferry, he surmised, was the original of that problem, and kept in operation through sentimen tal reasons. Aside from speculation and senti ment, this visitor from the North was astounded by the evident indifference displayed by the citizens of a wide awake city, who seem constantly on the alert to seize opportunities for the betterment of business conditions, evi dently blind to the vast advantages which would acxue to the city's devel opment by the construction of a mod ern bridge connecting with the .main land. Such a bridge would do much to build up farms in Brunswick and contiguous counties, and would encour age cattle raising. Farmers could save transportation by driving their live stock to market, as well as in hauling the crops up to the merchant's door. A wagon trade would be developed, which is earnestly to be desired, this trade would belong to the city, and would be practically non-competitive. There has been too much hesitation in carrying out this project on the ground of cost to the county. What ever the cost of construction, unless Wilmington is in a class to itself as the one unprogressive spot on the map, such a link in the National highway would be more conducive to trade animation, and woulh prove to be an investment which would pay dividends at present inconceivable in divers and sundry ways. Before the construction of the bridge over North East river, at Castle Haynes, New Hanover County, and.Wil mington, were practically an island every one paid toll to come over the ferry. It would -really be interesting to know the increase in traffic over that bridge? It has been objected that the gov ernment would oppose the construction of a bridge across the river at Mar ket street, but this objection has not the shadow of authority to back it up. The government never objects to improve ments that are conducive to the better ment of any community, outside of ab solute obstruction to navigable streams. This bridge would be no more of an obstruction to commerce of the port than is the bridge over the Chi cago river, with many times the "com merce. . ; On the contrary, the government is likely to give this project its strong support . for. military reasons. Could anything be more Incongruous than a $500,000 Custom House overlooking a 30c. ferry? Does a city that is content ed with a ferry of that size need a public building of such modern dimen sions? ; The importance of a ; bridge in rela tion to the development of a link in the National highway project, deserves a' chapter all its own. The advan tages are relatively as great as those obtained in the construction of a line of railway, and possibly greater ben efits may be derived than we now con template. ' ' Build a modern double bridge, a bascule lift with counterpoise.like the one at Chicago, which opens and closes in five minutes or less. But the en gineers know what we need, so that is merely a detail. We want a bridge d size, and not "a bridge of sighs", one that will meet all t requirements for fifty years. GEORGE P. COTCHETT. iWrightsville Beach, June 18, 1916. . CURRENT COMMENT We are sure, that the North Carolina Good Roads Association which .will meet at Wrightsville Beach on' the 21st to 23rd will be a great occasion. The people of Columbus are taking much interest in the coming event and a good number are expected to attend. Surely this will be a great convention because such an assem blage of men will want to go because their imagination has been fired to in tense heat by the vast enterprise of building good roads throughout the State. A man feels that he has become a part of this work, he is ready to improve every occasion for service, he takes a pride in what he has done and is able to do; and there is an instinc tive desire to be in the thick of it, to foregather with other men of like am bitions, to exchange experiences with them; for the more time and atten tion that is given to this work, the more one realizes the merit of achieve ment in it. Good road gatherings are always very instructive and in a high sense educational. As it is to be held at Wrightsville we think and hope that this section will be well represented. There are several good speakers on the programme and you will be enter tained by the people of Wilmington and the vicinity. All railroads' are putting on unusually low rates for this occasion. Chadbourn Herald. The representatives of the railroads and of the trainmen have reached the point of positive disagreement, and the next step, it is announced, is a vote by the employes on the question of a gen eral strike. If the labor leaders persist in their refusal to submit the issues to arbitration, they will unauestlcnably aeprlve themselves of public sympathy. and public sympathy may be worrli a great at-al tc them before they get through. No-v that the principle of at-. uitratjon luis been accepted even in lis putes between nations, no como 'atioii either of capital or labor, can summa rily reject it without putting itself in an unenviable position. The public has just as much interest in the proper settlement of this controversy as have either the employers or the employes, and the side which declines a. rea sonable method of settlement and throws the country into turmoil and its business into confusion will do so at the risk of provoking hostile public sentiment. We trust the labor leaders will be better advised. If they will not listen to the proposals of the rail ways for arbitration through the In terstate Commerce Commission or un der the Newlands act, they should cer tainly be willing to submit the points at issue to an impartial tribunal se lected by the President. Such a board might have no legal authority, but if both sides agreed to be bound by its decision it could prevent trouble as ef fectually as any other. It is to be hoped that the President will exercise his good offices in the interests of peace. Baltimore Sun. WILSON TO ATTEND President to be Honor Guest at Banquet of New York Press Club. New York, June 18. The New York Press Club which at one time or an other has had as its dinner guests every occupant of the White House since President Grant, will have President Wilson as its guest of honor at the an nual banquet to be held in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel here on June 30. The President's acceptance of the invita tion, by coincidence, so close upon his re-nomination for President that it is expected his speech to the newspaper men will constitute something of an opening gun in his campaign for re election. The banquet, however, is in no sense to be a partisan affair. Because of the inability of the Press Club and the President to find synch ronous dates, the honor which the club desired to accord him, has been defer red several times in the last four years. The club, however, was as unwilling to surrender its unwritten right to en tertain the President as he was reluc tant to relinquish the precedent. . In recognition of the non-partisanship nature of the dinner, a number of prominent Republicans and Progres sives have requested the dinner com mittee for places on the reception list, and it is expected that many promin ent men outside the Democratic par ty will be among the diners. The seat ing accommodation will provide for about 800 men, and in addition the Press Club has decided to invite women, who will be permitted to occupy boxes above .the banquet floor. Kinston, N. C, June 18. A prepared ness wave is enthusing the younger population of this place. Thirty-five youngsters joined the boy scouts last week. Militia officers have taken over the training of the scouts at the re quest of the latter. The lads may be given indoor rifle practice, providing their own ammunition.

And maybe the last of these is poisonous only by rea1 of his filthy mouth and teeth. on ' The hunter, the prospector, and the camper should, before going iat dense woods, or among rocks, or "before penetrating wild and unkno regions, provide against possible snake bites. A stout pair of leather 1 gins should be worn few snakes can strike above the knee. Nor sho fit a stick be reached for in the dusk or on a sunny ledge.

TO REMOVE TATTOO MARKS. Answer to H. U. A.: The following method may be tried. I do not vouch for it or guarantee it; it is the method of the surgeon Variot: The skin is first covered with a concentrated solu tion of tannin, and retattooed with this in the parts to be cleared. Then an ordinary nitrate of silver crayon is rubbed over those parts, which then become black in the light. Tannin powder is sprinkled over the surface several times a day, to dry it. A dark crest forms, which loses color in 3 or 4 days; and in 2 weeks or so comes away, leaving a reddish scar, free of tattoo marks and, in a few months, little noticeable.
