' BRYANT, GRIFFITH & BRUNSON. - Having Registered, the Women Must Vote Under " the spurring of The Star and of others who early caught the significance of the. women's participation in the election, the authorities in charge of registration went to work with a hearty good will to bring .bout a large enrollment of the new voters. Their efforts were highly successful, the women have registered in such ardent fashion that they now represent5 something like forty per cent, of the iocal electorate. It is a splendid; showing. v m , The task is but half accomplished. There, is be fore us now the urgent necessity of .having the women vote next Tuesday. It must be brought home to them that tfiey have another serious ob ligation. In", every" possible way, they must be made ,to realize that they will be grievously re miss if they fail to cast their ballots. They must be made to feel very intimately that it is a great privilege to have the right to vote, but that it is an even greater privilege to use the prerogative. We need not go into the matter of advising our -women how they shall vote! We may rely upon their adherence to. "the heartfelt things in estimably dear" to make the way clear to them. In the state and in the nation, they will vote the Democratic ticket, because by doing so they will be7 making the contribution which is -expected of them they will be speaking the word which bears the seal of their heart, the test o their desire. - But let nothing be left undone to make Novem ber 2 the day of their great pilgrimage to the polling-places, where they will be enabled to re cord tne will of the women in this 'great crisis of the country's life. - THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1920 THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET For President of the United States James MForX Vice-President of the United States Franklin D.

A Minnesotan's gift of a watch, still raaning On its receipt,, to the Democratic National Com mittee, is notable as another reminder of the Re publicans desperate fight against-time. It is reported now that Georges Carpentier and Jack Dempsey will fight for a purse of $500,000. A victory for Georges should have a substantial effect upon the exchange value of the franc.

' - - ' , : As a result of a Federal court's decision, Charles Ponzi has formally arrived at a state of bank ruptcy. The goodly company which he sent on to that destination' ahead of him should give him a warm reception there. 1: Contemparary Views ' Supporters of Mr. Harding should pause to con eider that the best guardian of the country's in dependence is always to be found in a man who may claim a little of the same possession on his own acc"0unt. ' V THE SWIFT YOUNG MIND. New York. Evening Herald: In admitting a boy prodigy to 8 cultured halls, Columbia University is following noed example. Princeton took Aaron Burr at the aee 6f 12. and into the sophomore . class, although it had refused to admit'him as a; frpahmnn i the niiarlinir , voai- "Harvard let :1H -1 young Mr. Sidis at the tender age of 11. Master Hardy of Colunibia is 12. v ' . . Such precocious lads are the product of intellec- fnnl onvlmnrnftTit Wo find tHmilnr swift DTOgreSS in Macaulay, who wrote a "Compendium or. uni versal History" when he was 7, and in cnatier--ton, who had written some of his important pieces before he was 12. In each case there is, a back -ground not only of intellectual parentage, but of attractive opportunity. . ' Luckily for the football teams of colleges few infant prodigies come in. The trainer of the Yale team may be imagined as . wishing that none but the precocious rwent to Boston College. In at 12 and out- at 16, they might be ferocious, but they would not be heavy. .-j Rural Slums , The announcement that tne Salvatiorr-Army is planning a campaign for the betterment of rural slums will be receivedwlth bewilderment by those who think of this splendid organisation as being exclusively the rescuer of the city pent and bespent and by those who still cling to the notion that pod made the country but man. made the town. And yet tlie Salvation Army, in undertaking this vital task," is merely carrying a step further its work of salvation, for it is molding to a larger use the knowledge which it has gained of the. sources of much.of the desolation with which it has had to deal, and it is, in striking fashion, directing attention to a genuine defect, in Ameri can life. Rural slums there are in villages and upon iso lated farms, where economic forces and ignorance and devitalization have wrought their havoc. There has developed in the country a class of ' in competents, ambltionless, stagnant, without hori zon and without prospect. Living on the very "margin of existence, a degenerative process has set in. Unable to meet the requirements of their environment, they go to the cities, lured by the glamor of wages and pleasure. Their poverty, and crude standards make the city slum their inevi table habitat. They soon find, that they have pur-, sued a mirage, and it is not long before they have become permanently attached to the great body of ne'er-do-wells and social misfits. They soon appears in the courts; they grow to be habitual recipients of charity; their children become delin quent or are so neglected that they receive the attention of the juvenile courts. . Unlike the im migrant, who grows from strength to strength, leaving the empty shell of his alien hahit behind him unlike the sturdier product of the soil, who is spurred to achievement by the very abundance of his 'opportunities and by his robustness, of will and purpose these initially handicapped denizens of rural slums are the stuff of whieh city slums make the pathetic and sinister shapes which call for the guidance and helpfulness of. the Salvation I. Army. - -: . - ",' ' : ' . " i Rural life holds problems of the pfqfoundest significance to the nation. It must - be made at tractive, it must be given direction, it must re ceive some of the illuminating thought which, if it has not materially Improved city lifehas clearly shown the way to improvement. School, church and government must organize themselves for this vastly pregnant solution. The drift from the open field to the cabined street must be halted, but it can be halted only through the enrichment of the Joys, and potentialities of country life. ; : O THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN. Raltimnrp, News: Th rennrt that a fully equip ped expedition, on a larger scale than has hith- i - i - i . . . a i . : iij r4n loatTA-I eno Deen aitempiea oy any ihbululiuu, " the United States , early next year to seek in the remote plateaus of Central - Asia for the remains. of "the missing link" will revive popular interest in a fascinating subject and a scientific doctrine of nrofound imnortance. The "scientific work of Darwin and'his condiscoverer, Alfred Russell Wal lace, brought to a focus converging ideas of evo lution which could not whollv be ascribed to any single period of scientific discovery. Great think ers, from Aristotle to Goethe, had some inkling of the scientific law which was only to be formulat ed centuries and generations later. The discov ery, not. as it haB often been incorrectly put that hiankind is descended, from the. ape but mat men and anes had a common ancestry, revolutionized thought. It thrust indefinitely further back the hitherto accepted date of man's appearance upon this planet. Scientists began to measure the span oL human existence upon earth by hundreds of thousands instead of thousands of years. Not withstanding the heated controversies which arose at that time as to an alleged conflict between re ligion and science, there was -nothing in the doc trines of the evolutionists to undermine the fun damentals of; religious thought, and at the pres ent time there is neither any hostility between any competent man of science, as such, and religion nor any distruat of science by religious teachers. s SORTING OUT. New York Sun: Veteran managers of electrical enterprises agree in the. main that. the recent so called slump in that line of business has affeeted the unsound , ventures while sparing the sound ones. Recent flush times, according to one, have, created such a demand for theatrical entertain ment in many sections of the country that many newcomers entered the business. Now comes' a season in which the less experienced or shrewd nurvevors of entertainment find the field over-. crowded and themselves forced to the exit. Thus do things readjust themselves in the the atrical world as in other lines of profitable enter prise. It is easier for a man with some hundreds of thousands to start out as a manager and put on a play, than it is to become a new "producer" in the steel or dry goods business. But in the season that follows flush times it is harder for the newcomer because of this very openness of the theatrical business, to hold his own against the seasoned masters or tne canine. What happens in this trade represents in an intensified form a drift quite common to business rin general on the morrow of a period of big out put and huge profits. Any restriction of these two elements operates in a fashion to sort out the frailer competitors from the hardy perennials. Such a process should -.raise the tone of business soundness and vigor, yes, aiwl the American stan dard of labor, energy and efficiency. Even the seasons when national production totals nd price levels fail to rise may have their uses. The most determined optimists among the Re publican leaders can not blind themselves ,to the widespread evidence 'of disintegration of the Harding support. That impartial observers are more and more impressed by the extent and rapid ity of -the crumbling is apparent in every" daily newspaper. Mark Sullivan, in the present issue f The Star, writes convincingly of "the steady ebb, in the , Republican strength and a correspond ing growth in the Democratic strength." The tre mendous appeal and driving -power of the Cox campaign in the East and the dogged persistence .. of Hiram Johnson's refusal to let Mr. Harding ex- tricate himself from the bitter-enders' trap are the chief ? factors in the over-turn that is now re arranging the political map. " v. "The Executive Council of the Chuiches of Christ ;tn America haa issued a timely appeal, entitled,' '-"The Christian Attitude on the California-Japanese - Question." , It Is , an appeal to men of good-will, both in the United States and in Japan, "to refuse . , to be stampeded , into ' precipitate action .by the v vote-catching propaganda of politicians who appeal 1 to race prejudice and strive to arouse mdb feeling." rrhe Council , argues wisely that matters at Issue ' - between these two powers can jbe"pproached with propriety and safety only by the governments at Washington and '.Tokio, respectively.

They saw a sorely wounded man; who bears' upon his body the sinister tokens of the malevolence which has sought to -undo his in calculably precious service. They heard a tear choked man who no longer, as in. a better day, trusts to the spontaneous golden, word. "Inex-. pressibl jr solemn and tender" they reported the oc casion, to have been. It could not have been any thingfclse, when they beheld the smitten Wilson, bound to an invalid's chair, and realized that it was his devotion to the ineffable cause for which, he was pleading which had brought' iim to his es tate of suffering and feebleness.; ' The' day will yet come, whenT the"' faults; pi tfte man Wilson will .'utterly vanish ,ln the fulf .Con sciousness -of his inynortal contribution to the well-being of humanity and to the greatness of America. The, hatred which lias pursuedThim, the partisanship which has thwarted him,: the rancor which at , this very, hour seaks to make Wllsonlsm the predominant issue, will at no distant hour re veal 'themselves as ' the calumny and littleness which, would warp this country's power to the low purposes ot an indescribable selfishness. - x- '- " A Foul deeds will rise Though all the earth o'erwhelm them to men's eyes. , ; o - ' , : JThe Presbyterians ' It Is an hqnor to any city to entertain a group of Presbyterian leaders. It may be said- that no State claims a body of men possessing a higher degree of earnestness, consecration, ' culture and . dignity than the group composed of its Synodical ministerial and lay leaders. For many reasons, North'. Carolina holds its Presbyterianism in pe culiar esteem and affection. The spiritual . and intellectual development of the -people of . this State, from its very early days, has been influ enced to a degree perhaps'not generally suspected by the beneficent operation of- the. Presbyterian church through its chosen channels.- The delegates from the several, churches of. thfe historic ynqd are guests- in whose eritertalhmfentl Wilmington feels the keenest delight and a very genuine sense WHY PENROSE SHOULD BE BEATEN. Philadelphia Record: it is highly creditable to the Women League, for Good Government that it has adopted resolutions opposing the re-election of Senator Penrose. It does this on the ground that he has "opposed most of the humanitarian and ; progressive movements of the past 20 years, es pecially those of vital interest to women and chil dren," and that he has also been antagonistic to reform in state and city. A much more extended catalogueof tjie senator's many political offenses , might easily have been compiled, but they are too well known to need recounting. His persist ent opposition to women suffrage should be enough to array tne' newiy enrrancnisea voters against him. There should be no place for a man of Penrose's limited vision in the United States Senate, and it is a good thing for Pennsylvania that many thou sands of women realize this fact. They have the moral courage even if the men have not, to op pose his re-eleetion because they know that his past record has been barren and that in the future, if he shall be re-elected, he will be simply an .inert lump of reactionary conservatism in a body where progressive ideas are needed.
