GREENSBORO, N. C.
A LOVER BOLD
President Just An Or
dinary Mortal
.
TRICTLY speaking, we do not
see why it should be any
body's business or why any
one should be concerned if
the President of the United
States wants to get married. If he
wants to marry a widow he should
have the right; and if he wants to
pose for photographers or if he
wants to let snap shot people get
him, we can't see where there is any
harm. And we do not see -that it is
, the business of any living Son of
Ham whether his first wife has been
dead fourteen months or fourteen
years if he wants to get married,
let him get married.; The President,
as we view it, is not to blame.
We think the newspapers have
been about as silly as the President
in parading the matter, but the
President isn't to blame for what the
newspapers do. v
Here in Greensboro there is a
sentiment of resentment against the
President, men and women insisting
that he is.makinR a mistake. There
was a whole lot of sympathy for Mr
Wilson, because of his bereavement,
genuine and sincere sympathy, but
it seems that it wasn't needed.
We haven't talked far; haven't
discussed the matter, but we have
heard it discussed and it is the
."concensus of opinion" so far as we
can gather that most people are, as
thev express it, "disgusted."
It is claimed that occupying the
position of President there should
have been a longer period of mourn-
ine: that when it was finally an
nounced it should have been done
with some dignity; and that the
stories that private telephone lines
were run from one room to another
; and all that silly dope, such as
might have been expected from a
twain of yokels, green as gourds and
experiencing the first wild thrill of
" love, should have Deen cut oui.
That is what a great many people
in Greensboro are thinking and what
a irroflt. m an v are saying. As we
said above, we are not worrying.
'.. ' t,ut we long ago learned that they
wprp Rim t1v human beings, some
with much intelligence and some
with little. We have learned that
there is no honor in the office, be
cause the dirty and unseemly fights
made to secure the nomination roD
it of all honor. The office comes by
"blind and eyeless chance" and
nnt from the loom of one's own
eenius. Therefore the president
.personally; is no greater man than
hundreds of thousands or otner men.
His position is one of dignity but
the man filling it must not, necessa
rily be dignified.
We all know that of all the germs
in all the world the love-germ is the
most wonderful. It will cause the
grimmest stoic to lose his head; it
, will make a laugnig, pnnosppner
"i-Jjnt of- the weeping one, ana a num.

comes the god of plenty if he falls
in love and, why would they call
it "falling in love" if a man didn't
take a tumble? It is like falling
down an Alpine mountain or into a
well or into the sewer you just
tumble and keep on tumbling, and
in the descent you become scandal-
. OUS.-".
And the older a man gets the
worse the germ hits him because he
hasn't resisting power. - Here is our
President fifty-nine years old, just
about sixty, and he finds himself
head over heels in loe. So full of
it that he wears a Quaker Oats Smile
and acts like a boy with his first
pair of red top boots. Do you blame
him? No! He is enjoying.it. Ten
years and he is seventy all in as
the saying goes and if he feels that
in those ten years he can extract a
little enjoyment, a little happiness;
why not let him take . the widow,
fondle her, love "her, marry her, and
ne nappy i
Of course the average North
American citizen feels that he has a
divine right to criticise the Presi
dent. But only his official acts. If
a president wants to get married,
that should be exclusively his busi
ness but it doesn't seem to be.

Five Billion.
The suggestion that the appro
priation for "preparedness" be dou
bled, or rushed up to five billion dol
lars, doesn't seem to get exactly
proper lodgings - in the minds of
many people. A big navy and a
-cracking good army seem necessary
1 but when it comes to doubling up
things at one pop that is what
makes some people talk.
' It is suggested that Mr. Daniels is
extravagant. But we. don't know.
The fellow who is going to buy
something generally buys the best if
he has the price, and if Mr. Daniels
can convince the Congress that five

we fear the. people against "prepar

other side. In fact , the appropria

Reduced Now To One Man And His
Name Temporarily Forgotten.
The more or less esteemed Win
ston Journal says:
"Some of them are talking of
finding a candidate to enter the
Democratic primaries next summer
against Major Stedman. It is true
that the "Imperial Fifth 'has right
much congressional timber, but
right now there happens to be only
one man in the district who would
stand show of winning' out over
the Major. Whether he could be in
duced to make the -race The Journal
does not know. He has said he was
done with politics, but whether or
not politics is done with ; him re
mains to be seen."
Well, if it has been reduced to
that, the Major is nominated. These
unnamed and unnumbered heroes
outside waiting to "lead to victory"
the grand old party are queer fel
lows. If there is any man in the
district, of decen- parentage and
average education' who liSs the nerve
to come in and brush aside an old
confederate soldier and claim that
Stedman isn't always onto the job,
we want to see him named.
Major Stedman Is away beyond
the average Congressman. In Wash
ington he gets what he goes after
for his constituents; he commands
respect and he is able and consist
ent. What more do you want?
Nothing except some of the politi
cians and their henchmen want the
pie. Want the salary and to get it
would walk over the bones of their
own mother. Major Stedman will be
nominated. No doubt about that.
But unless the democratic party
presents a state ticket that will
give us the rallying cry presents
a state ticket composed of men and
not professional politicians we are
not going to bet big money that the
Major will be elected.

Senator Overman In Washington.
Red Buck thus has a say concern
ing Senator Overman's plans for the
winter:
"Senator and Mrs. Overman have
leased the beautiful McCauley resi
dence, the home of Maj. and Mrs
Edward McCauley at 1718 Rhode
Island avenue, Northwest, and will
live there next winter. They take
possession November 1.
"The McCauley place is next door
to the home of Chief Justice White
of the Supreme Court in a very se
lect section of the city and is built
for smart entertaining. It has sev
eral handsdme drawing rooms.
'.The Overmans will keep open
house to their friends the coming
season for their daughters, Misses
Katheryn and Grace. ,
"Senator Overman is expected
here within a lew days to can a
meeting of a sub-committee of the
Senate Judiciary Committee to
codify, revise and amend laws relat
ing to the judiciary. He is chairman
of the committee and must make
report when Congress convenes in
December. The other members of
the committee are: Senator Walsh
and Chilton, Democrats, and Suther
land and Brandegee, Republicans."
T. N. Winslow Here.
Mr. T. N. Winslow, who for the
past ten months has been in the
revenue service, located n Ohio, is
on a visit home. He will be here
until the 18th of the month when

this week. Advanced from $2 to $3

and would advise you to sell your
tobacco. A Mr. Edgar Vaughn sold
a split load on my floor yesterday,
Retting an average of $3 more per
hundred than he got on one of the
larger markets. Mr. H. T. Cox, of
High Point section, split his grades
and received an average of $3.25
per hundred more on my floor than
he did on one of the larger markets.
When tobacco is high it will sell
itself, but this is the year to sell at
