' - . Mr. Patrick Dooganshield, Asheboro. N. C. My Dear Patrick: , Ton are not sincere. Yon well knew that I had sworn off talking politics) and yon have gone and stirred me np again. And now I j ast can't get it eff my mind. Vl course we an recognize tne trnth of what von sav as to everv man's duty, for every good oitiasn oannot afford to eacnsw pontics, ana every man onght to vote for the beet interests ot his county state, and nation. This thing of voting for a party, without ever stopping to atudv the Dam's record is all bosh, foolish act, nonsensical. ' But let me say sometning else right here, to keep from being mis understood. I do not mean to say that there should be no' political parties, for they are just as certain to exist so lone as we nave a Republi can form of government as the Re publican, party 10 ia atanu lurtw fundamental principals, niggers and trusts. Now, don't think I Dis pelled the word, for I meant it just as I wrote it ,'principala" for the party has no "principles.'' - Suppose, rat, you bu ub com mand of all the people for about years, and yon line them all np in one party. You wouldn't know wbat to ao wun mem, nu it juu ke.it them in one party lone, there would be np end to the corruption of the government, une party watcnea another At the end of the two years, your authority at an end, the npnnln wonld be SDlit up into at least two parties at once. And then )... ia nn rpnann why we Should be arguing against the immutable laws nf ru.1-.nrfi IB IB DOIISDUT uasurm for the people .to divide into ; twq great parties. There is no such thing as a tnira party .. it w jus a attempt at one. Have you ever nntirwrf that a third party never grows to a national force? It might bave a just cause tor existence, out it cannot Doasiblv overcome the nat ural tendencies toward dividing the people into two great parties. But I do not mean to say that the Rpnnhiman oartv ib a necessity, a. strong opposition party onght to ex iat nn is nu?Qi to nave uiuro uuueo ty and more loyalty to tbe great mass of voters who put it into a posi tion or power ana autnority man iae Rpnnhlinan nartv. The ereat mass of men in this country are still easily deceived, ana tne Jtepuoucan politicians have taken advantage of tbeir mistortune. Take for instance, a sick man He is all run down from over exer finn and ia no weak he can bo fur ther. The quack doctor goes to see him, gives him a strong stimulant and in a few hours he thinks he is well again. But he will pay for his mistake and folly later on, if he takes that quack's advice. But let the same man in the same condition Bpndv. for a reputable physician. This one makes a corret diagnosis of the disease, and sets to work by same methods for the patient's sound re covery. He Kites him medicines that will restore him to normal health, and keep him in that state. UC 11 taneo initio ituc. xuuoc whn a oa ignorant of the work of the two men will stand np for the quack; those who know what they are doing will taae tne pajsician. Now. the Republican party six teen years ago went to the masses of people in tbiB country, oeiore ae. mnnranv had been - tried f airlv. and said: "We can tell yon what's the matter witti mines. xoa Jieea a tariff, fcr it protects the working man. Them were more than six million voters who didn't believe the sry, and they said so at the polls. But a ms jority listened to the quack, and the protective tariff was applied as the remedy. , v Tt thou, who listened 'to the qnaok statesman, as he came blus tering over tbe country, scop, ana count the cost. The tariff was ap plied to stimulate business. Prices of all pratected articles quickly jumped up, and they hove remained inere. x oe iarmer wiiu anu uvs -u sheep got a small increase on his wool, and paid 100 per cent increase u: 1 1n.hoa TTq there. Tne farmer wno naa a aczn on his woalen suit of clothes. I He got no increase whatever on his corn and wheat. The-South is a great cotton growing country. The low eat prices tverfcttn f:rc:tton kavt been under Republican administra tion. Meat is out of sight, bat the man who raises cattle and hogs has not shared fhe increase. . More than that, the meat truit haa ' sold meat across the ocean cheaper than at the! very. door s of the men who raise it. They are a set of rasoals, too. robbers of ihe meanest type, and we have! mora reanect for a safe-bbwer than a man who will do what tho meat irast leaaers nave aone... iney nave made it impossible for millions of hard-working men to have the meat they really needed. Yes, n4 they bave taken food out oi ; tne very months - of innooent women.: and children. We never expect to vote for any man, Democrat or Republi can, wno in the slightest sense ad. vonatAa and votes to place a protec tive tariff on anything, for it it rob bery of the meanest kind imagina. ble. Before 1907 had passed away, we began to see the effects of continuous over-stimulation oi onsinesa in tnia country through the tariff. We had tbe panic, and ttooseveu winsrea at the Steel Trust's absorption of the only really strong competitor it had to get tbe money powers so try to help him stop the panio, and pre vent sucb a stigma on nis adminis tration going -down in history. DnnH thttv a ton tbe panic? Certain ly they could, for they made it and tbey put Dranea on it oeiore inej bi it going. When Roosevelt came to the terms they proposed they bad nothing to ao except turn on .tne brakes. We sav it with all the confidence of our heart, that this country is now in the grip of tbe money pow era, and there are only a few men who a?e really being profited by these conditions. And we farther say that protection has brought about conditions that nothing in the world short of a political revolu tion can ever cnange. . Our belief as to what is best for tha national Damocratio party has narrowed itself down to the nominal! Hon of one of two men, so tar as thn nrpaidnntial auestion is concern Tt must be Woodrow Wilson or flhamn Clark. Let any maa who has kept up with the drift of politi t and events give a rea on for doine otherwise. We are anxious to know lr we are raistaisen. Wa believe Woodrow Wilson will hi nominated, and we belie ye he will be free from entangling alli ances with the great trusts ot the country. But he wili probably not be nominatea on tne - nrst oawoi, he ought, on account of the old thread-bare requirement in the Dem ooratio convention that makes -the winner - get two-thirds majority. This requirement ought to bere mnvpd hv the next convention, be- it doesn't seem at alL Demo. cratic, We have always considered the majority as being Democratic. Very truly yours, Mike Dooganshield, A Good Gtizen Gone ThA nfionle of Asheboro were sur prised, not to Bay shocked, on the afternoon of the 14:h inst to receive a 'phone message, from Alamance statins that Zimri Lewallen was dead. Mr. Tiflwallen has been a oitia n of Randolph county all his life nn til about one month ago he moved to Alamance county with his son where they had bonght the Banks Holt farm ana nome piaoe. ae naa uvea in Aiheboro the last few years. TTia daath was sadden. He had gone with others, hurriedly of oouroe, to a small tenant nouse tnat naa nan ah t on fire, carrvin? a bucket of water. On arriving he saw the fire was too far advancea to be cnecxea. He set the bucket of water down and was in the act of removing out of reach of the fire some of the pro. perty that had been thrown ont of the burnning bouse, when he fell nnnononiona and DerhaDS - never breathed again though a physician was summoned and vigorous effort made to revive him. Mr. v Lewallen was seventy-one years and a few days of age at his death. He served faithfully as a Confederate soldier through nearly all of the Civil war and attended leg nlarly the annual reunion of the Randolph Camp of Confederate Veterans- In 1866 he was married tOvMiss darah J.

This is one reason for our having twice or three times tbe am-nnt of colds, headache, pneumonia and catarrhal troubles and general Uuffioieney that ws should have in the winter. W mxt ma cloaelv housed at this sea m ill ili. .... that in hftdlv heated and Ventilated r o Cm s, churches, sahoolhousea and puuiic nana is is extremely easy to contract contagi ous diseases and even consumption itself. ' " ", r " Bat tob iit. What is orontr hsat. isg and ventilating? Proper heat ing and ventilating is supplying from 1,500 to 3 WH on oio teas oi irean air at a temperature of 70 degress to each person every hour. In addition to this, the air should contain con. siderable moisture. Air that is so dry that it will shrink and draw f -rpiture apart and kill flowers and Clants in a room is at leaat neat iur aman nse. Tn thn ftverflce house asins a Ore. place or stove for heating it is diffi cult to properly heat or ventilate tbe aouae in coia weaiuer, ou u then much can be done to -improve conditions. la the fi-st place; get the tnsr momptpr habit. Keep an easily read thermometer in the living room and thework room, ttang it in a place where it can be readily seen and a place having the average rosm temperature. .Next, seep tnia tner mom8ter standing at as nearly 70 degrees as possible. In ventilating don't be afraid of fresh air. Warint it up if possible, but hftv it in the room at all times iefiardless oj its incoming tempera, ture. fireplaces are now so cod. at-nntpd that fresh bir is ad mi, ted trnm hplnw the fioor and passes np fcWiind and at the sides of the grate, to enter the room above the fireplace, thia hpated air may also be allow ed to entar an adjoining room or in to one or more rooms above. If stoves are used, by all means have them Burrounded, at leass pars waj, with some kind of japanned or gal vanizad iron shield: this shield should extend to the floor. FreBh a r8bouldbe admitted through an openiag in the floor beneath the stove, so that it may bpcome heated bv passing up between tae btovb uu the shield. .. .. , While these are probably tne oest means of warming tbe air that comes infers a rnnm. a small amount of fresh air may be admitted by raising the J ... J .UHI 4-M.n lower sasb oi tne winuuw ouuuk in.hp and plaoine a strip in the opening below the sash. This will permit a small quantity ter near the middle of the window hafcoroAn the two sashea and will give it an upward motion as it enters the room, thus preventing --uum ui.io. Bet er ventilation may be secured by raising the lower sash several'inches and plac'nj a shield opposite this opening to deflect the incoming cur- icai v& cm. ' . Another excellent practical meats of ventilating is by tno:ougniy -wring" the living rooms not less than tv,. nv nnr t meg a dav. This is done by simply opening the windows and doors for a minute or iw uu .linortnir frpsh air to flood the room.
