WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, OCT. 8, 1916.
Asheville bo* had it* flood and laat week it had it? fire. But Ashe
ville is still on the job and as fast as saute big loss is sustained, bigger
and better thing are built up.
Whenever tho war news get* dull over in Europe, they mix in a
little peace talk. And after that goto tiresome, they give us soma
more war news.
Some one mentioned the lat<*t. prize fight to us yesterday. But we
didn't see it, didn't read about it, and don't care to hear about it.
It's just one continual fight in this office to find a means whereby we
can eat three meals a day and still keep up with the leaps and bounds
in the price of priut paper. Gosh!
TAKING CAKE OF THE CHILDREN.
The medi examination of rh?- children in the city schools showed
that over eighteen }?er cent of the pupils were defective in either sig'it,
hearing, bad teeth, tonsil? or adnoids. This report should awaken
die parents to a realization of what, they owe to th? ir children in t tie
way of guarding their health. Eyes, that mav be only slightly de
fective now and that could readily he cured under proper treatment,
will gradually grow worse if they are not given the proper attention.
The same is true with the teeth, hearing and other defect?.
When the rep it of their child'* condition is made to the parents,
they should determine to see that these defects are remedied. Many
a child's life has U-en ruined in latei years because its health was not
properly taken rare of when it was young
THE FEDERAL FARM LOAN.
It was announced Saturday that the farmers will only have to pay
four and one-half and five per rent interest on Federal farm loans.
This is good news indi*ed for the farmers throughout the country,
but, after the plan? of the system are fully made public, it is doubt
ful whether tunny farmers will take advantage of this opportunity
for borrow iner money at h low rate of interest. I'nless this matter
is radically different from most kindred projects that have been taken
up bv the government in the past there will l>e ??o much "red tape"
connected with tho loans that the average farmer will become dis
gusted and will refuse to have anything to do with the system. It
remains to he seen whether this will lie the case or. whether the gov
ernment will present a elcar-ent proposition, with no strings tied to it.
ARE VOI* BOSS OR SERVANT?
Election is drawing near. The speakers of both the Republican
and l>em?>cratic parties are touring the country in a frenzied effort
to win votes. The papers are full of political news and editorials.
It a mad ra?e. fought determinedly by both eides.
AVe you "bos*" of your own vote, or are you the slave of one of the
two parties ?
Do you vote the Republican ticket because you have always favored
the Republicans in the past, erven though you might not like some of
the men on the ticket this year? If you are h Democrat, do you cast
your vote with the Democratic party without even taking into con
sideration the character of the men you are voting for?
Some men do this, and they are the "political slaves" of the coun
try. If one w<*re to ask them why they voted the Republican ticket,
the only answer that they could make would l?e: "Because I'm a Re
publican !" And the same with the Democrat*.
A man's vote is too important a thing to Ik* 'thrown awav for a party
of politicians. Every voter should take into consideration the men
whom he iB voting for ? from president of the T'nited States down to
constable. If he is a Republican, and he thinks that Wilson would
make, a better president for the coming four years than Hughes, why
shouldn't he vote for Wilson ? And. likewise, if a man is a Democrat
but believes that the Republican regime would Ik* better for tho coun
try, Why shouldn't he vote for Hughes?
In other words. Mr. Voter. VOTE FOR. THE MAN, AND NOT
FOR THE PARTY ! When you find a man who boasts of the fact
that he ha* voted a "straight ticket" for the last ten or fifteen years,
you can well put him down as a person who hadn't, enough sense to
vote properly. There are liound to 1>e candidates on the opposing
ticket at times whom even the most bitter partisan voter must ac
knowledge are letter men than the ones on his ticket.
When you go to the polls on November seventh, make up your mind
that you are going to Ik* BOSS of your vote, and not SLAVE to a
tran f of politicians. Vote as your candid opinion tells you to. Cut
the ticket all to pieces, if necessary, but try to put your mark opposite
that man's name whom you believe will serve the best interests of
the people, ff you think that Wilson is a Vnitter man than Hughes,
vote for Wilson : and if you think that Fairbanks is a better man than
Marshall, vote for Fairbanks. Forget the party; vote for the men
on the ticket !
THE VALUE OF CRITICISM.
How much better the. world would be if personal criticisms were
face to face instead f>f back to back, or from behind the back! The
broad-minded man never objects to criticism provided that it is not
prompted by jtcrsonal animosity. Tn fact, he expects it and rather
likes it, for in the criticism may be found something of personal 01^
professional value, a hint or suggestion as to how he can better him
self.
Public men. and men occupying quasi-public positions, expect criti
cism because public experience teaches them that humanity is not in
fallible. One of tltt road commissioners expressed it admirably the
other day. "Tell it to us," he said, "don't talk it over on the street
comers or in the back alleys." And that's the right spirit.
Of course there ia an essential difference between the critic and
the "knocker." The latter never says anything with any intention
of doing anybody any good. His intentions are in the main harm
ful, but they do himself mors harm than anvone else. The "knocker.**
however, is a necessary eviL As David Alarum so truthfully savn:
"A reasonable amount of fleas ia good for a dog; It keeps him from
brooding over being a dog/' Tf the knocker didn't give ns a rap
