It’s Kere—your chance has come.
Hali th«l World had to be blown off the map to produce the oppoi-tunity.
Mon billions ot pounces, francs and ituirks’ worth of assets than the total
created Wettltli of the world five hundred years Ago had to be smashed to
, siHithtr««n^‘nobody knbvrs how many leaders i.^ manufacturing, shipbuild
ing', ivilrviadiri^, finance, merchandising:, chemistry, medicine, engineering,
electricity, dyeingj weaving and publishing, not to mention an indefinite num
ber of less important but quite useful folk—^had to be lost in the cataclysm,
to arranage matters for your benefit, hot at all events you are one of the
residuary iegattes of the still vast, valid estate. ^
Now make good—you’re nSiled.
.We’ve always suspected. you, but yov wer« so confoundedly plausible
’Vfith your excuses—so clever with your explanations of how you just missed
, it, that we gave you the benefit of the docbt and—another try.
But you won’t “get by” again unless you produce the goods.
If you ever before had an idea you never before had such a market for
it.
* If you ever possessed business acuman and judgment, you’ll never aigain
face a universe so sadly in ne^ of your gifts.
The bomb that burst at Sarajevo l«mporarily paralyzed the develop
ment of half t!:e world.
' For years to come Eiirope must chaft? in handcuffs—-bereft of recouise
and resource—and turn to America for ?he alleviation of her necessities.
Last year it was twice as difficult to merchandi.!e yourself or your
wares~to get a hearing and to get ahead—because now there is only half
the rivalry that existed then.
This is not an ui^e to capitalize ouv neighbor’s woes. On the contrary
it is a suggestion to get busy and lighten them.
The more we help ourselves the quicker we analyze the situation snd
sensibly set about relieving the world sti’ain—the sooner we repair the uni
versal tears and snags and patch up th.-? broken machinery—^the better off
everybody will be.
Here and there a flying splinter or a chip of shrapnei has figuratively
flown across the Atlantic and actually irjuied an isolated interest, but, man
alive, such cases don’t count—ninety-nine per cent of us never had less
reason to worry about our material prosperity.
'There's a silver lining to evei*y w-ir cloud, too, and it’s all showing on
our side of the ocean.
There are mouths to feed and backs tc ciothe—prescription.s to fill, au
tomobiles and farming implements to pvdduce, shoes to be furnished and
steel to supply—it’s jusst as though half ths- stores in the country were sud
denly closed—half the farms abandoned, half the factories and iaboratories
shut down—It doesn't take much imagiiiation to figure that the active
merchant.*! and farmers and manufacturers would have everything their
own way, and yet that’s just what has oteurred.
Hard times arc impossible under thefe coniiitions. The most superficial
analysis proves it.
Shed a tear in the name of rteceiK-V and humanity over the appalltnjr
tragedy, but in the name of pood citizenship and f-ood sense simultaneour.!y
help devastated lands and your own cnuntry by spieadinjr cheer among
the blinded doublers whose pes.'iiminni i^ retarding a neces.=ai-y anti im
mediate boom.
By every law of lottic and profit thtri; shouldn’t li» a still whtel or a
tle.-ien smoke stack on the whole contin';nt. By raisiti^ our jiroduciion to it.s
maximum limit.s we can not only creairf enormous fortunes for ou'.'OlveK
but at the same time so i-edute costs tiiat wc can also lighten the n isfnr-

COST TO PA^®®®-
According ‘ to the sworn stateni'jnt Ow "^“huston. Clerk to the
Board of County Commissioners, in hi» snf.iui ^°r last year, whi.-.*i
was published in The Burlington News, uraler date December 24th,
’This' report shows ,that the Register of Deeds ofSscff ^he tax payers
of .-Mamance County last year as tellovi'a:
Salary of C. D. Johnston .. .. .. •$1,600.0V
Clerk Hire to C. D. Johnsto;., .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .J 600.00
Fees Paid C. D. Johnston, as per his .statement .. .. .. „ 93T.i'i
Total .‘Imound J*aid C. D. Johnston, as per his statement, .. .. $3,I3?»2S
The tax payers wiil please understand that this amount is what Mr.
.lohiiston says that he r^eived. If you uoubt it see c«py of Burlington
News, Dated December 24th,. 19I3-. If Mr. Johnston did not recei>-e it, he
should not have said that he did, aud if he did receive it, he should t>e
maiily enough to say that he did. This paper does not say that he receiv
ed ^his amount, we say that he said he received it over his swcrn signatur;;.
This is more money than the register of Deeds office ever cost the ta.i
payers in the way of fees and salaries since the office was created.
This informatiQn is given so that the tax payers of the county t«ay know
how much this office cost them, and they can act accordingly.
DKMOCK.'VTIC ABSKNTKKISM.
Ill the veiUu', bouiiuetfi that I’residei." Wilson threw i,> the Dcniocrutii-
Congress' in his letter In Mr, Uiiderwou! there was one «llijccl upon which
■there wa,=; silence. That was the matter ,f i>einocral!c absenteeism during
the long session just past. The faihue of the memberK of the majority par
ty to remain in Washinirton and atton'.t l thei: Congressional duties has
iieen a scandal. Finally, the nio.st extreme measure possilile was ailoi(‘.r>,i,
that of “docking"’ (he pay of mc-niliO’ S »f the lIou:“C f^ir each day’s absence
from duty except tor sickness.
It Ava.-! the liemocratic leader hinise'.l' who was compelled to ;ulupL this
ladical policy in order to keep enough his party at theit po.vts of duty
■for the House to attend to bu.sinesr.. On'y once before has it been necessary
to resort to this “docking” law. That timi- v.-as some twenty years ago, and
then, as now, it v.as a Democratic Congress that compelled its adoption.
The Democratic memi)crship of ihe House is two hundred and TiiiiCly.
It require."! the presence of two hus'dred and eighteen memebers to make a
quorum for the carrying on of business. Thus, the !>emo.?rats have seve.nty-
tv.'o members in excess r.f the quorum number. It is reasonable to i-.uppe.-^e
tbjit when matters of vital importance to the country were br^ing acted up.'.n
the Democrats would have maintained a ituorurn of their own members, es-
pecially so when the House was carrying ( ut a legislative progri'.m that had
been passed upon and ordered by a caucv? of the party.
Before the financial pvessare was iaought to bear upon the Democrats
there had been one hundred and thiity-n4-.« roll call votes in the House,
which Democrats with pocketbook nerv.55, but with no proper sense of ihen-
duty, had missed. Or. each of these roll call votes there \va» an average of
one hundred and three absent Democrats. .\nd on over one hundi-ed of these
votes Republicans had to supply th,? riliierence between the Democratic
shortage and the nurrtber neces.sary for business of the House to proceed.
Many of these roll calls were os the vtry important legislation that was
before Congress.
It is the Democratic party that i.i responsible for legislation and for
the conduct of the House. But if it had not been for Republican votes the
i-.se would have been helpless mc-st nf the session aud its majority ciog-
.-red. It was not until the “docking” resolution was passed that the impor
tant business of Congress had any attraction for the Democrtits. When it
became a question of losing the sum of twenty dollars from their pay for
every day of unexpected absence then there was a sudden rush of Demo
crats to Washington. That was appavontly their one interest in legislation.
One of the reasons for this absenteeism was the vicious rule of King
aucus. Everything was foreordained arid decreed by the mandate of the
arty caucus. A bare majority of the caucus could decide in advance what
ihe House was to do and how. Therefore, the members had nothing to do
with legislation. There was no such thing as sincere debate aiid discussion
on the floor; there was no opportunity for the offering of suggestion or
amendment. The iron hand of the caucus v/as over all.
It is not a fortunate issue upon vrh-ch to go before the people of the
country, this record uf X)emocratic ncgSigtnce and the Democratic system
high-iianded dictation that made it possible. Can it be that thiS is the
■and of Congress that is wanted by the voters of the United States?
